Milestones on the path to stability

Respond to appointments
0:16
It is a means of stability
0:18
Responding to the promises of God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
0:24
God Almighty said
0:26
Even if We had decreed against them that they should kill yourselves
0:32
Or get out of your homes
0:37
Only a few of them did
0:42
Even if they did what they preach
0:46
It would have been better for them and stronger
0:51
And if We had given them from Us a great reward
0:58
And We will guide them to a straight path
1:04
And whoever obeys God and the Messenger, those are with those upon whom God has bestowed blessings
1:20
Of the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous
1:32
And those are good companions
1:37
That grace is from God, and God is sufficient as Knower
1:46
Al-Saadi said in his interpretation
1:50
If He had prescribed for His servants orders that were difficult for souls
1:55
From killing souls and leaving home
1:59
Only a few of them did it and it was rare
2:03
Let them praise their Lord and thank Him for facilitating what He commanded them to do
2:08
One of the commands that is easy for everyone and not difficult to do
2:13
This is an indication that the servant should be vigilant against the abhorrent things he is doing
2:20
So that worship becomes easier for him and he increases his praise and gratitude to his Lord
2:26
Then he told that if they did what they preach
2:30
That is, what was assigned to them at all times according to Him
2:34
So they exerted their efforts and devoted their souls to doing it and completing it
2:40
Their souls did not aspire to what they had not achieved and were not aiming for
2:46
This is what a servant should do
2:49
To look at the situation that he needs to do and complete it
2:54
Then it increases little by little
2:57
Until he achieves what he is destined for in knowledge and work in matters of religion and the world
3:03
This is the fault of one whose soul aspires to something that he has not achieved or been commanded to do yet
3:10
He hardly achieves this because of dissipation of energy and laziness and lack of activity
3:18
Then arrange what happens to them to do what they preach, which are four things
3:26
One of them is charity in his saying, “It would have been better for them.”
3:32
That is, they would have been among the good people who were characterized by their descriptions of the good deeds they were commanded to do
3:40
That is, they were no longer considered evil, because proving something requires denying its opposite
3:49
The second is to achieve and increase stabilization and stability
3:54
God strengthens those who believe because of their faith, which is doing what they were advised to do
4:03
It strengthens them in the life of this world when temptations arise, including commands, prohibitions, and calamities
4:11
They gain steadfastness and succeed in doing the commands and abandoning the impositions that the soul requires them to do
4:19
When misfortunes occur that the servant hates, he is granted stability through success, patience, contentment, or gratitude
4:29
He receives help from God to do this
4:34
He obtains steadfastness in the religion at death and in the grave
4:39
Also, the servant who does what he is commanded continues to practice the legal commands until he becomes familiar with them
4:48
He longs for her and people like her, and this will help him to be steadfast in obedience
4:56
The third saying
4:59
That is, in the immediate and future, which is for the soul, heart and body
5:11
It is eternal bliss that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever thought of
5:20
Fourth
5:23
Guidance to a straight path
5:26
This is a generality and a specificity for the honor of being guided to the straight path
5:32
Because it includes knowledge of the truth, love of it, selflessness, and acting upon it
5:40
Happiness and prosperity depend on that
5:44
Whoever is guided to a straight path will be rewarded with all goodness, and all evil and harm will be warded off from him
5:53
