Lessons to Learn From the Video
Watch on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/6ZjrUuKzJXg
In the video some men decided to test the Shepherd by asking him to give them one of the sheep which isn’t his!
They offer him money, they try to persuade him,
Look at his response!
_
He may not be earning much…
But still he refuses to give away any!
This is what true Taqwa is!
_
They ask him, do you feel happy herding like this, walking with sheep?
He said whoever earns and eats from the Halal is happy!
الله أكبر
_
The second part of the video is a narration regarding a similar event about Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما and a shepherd.
_
As for us, we are the opposite!
We live more comfortably, yet in spite of this we are still arrogant towards Allah ﷻ in that we will disobey Him thinking we can deceive Him!
_
Allah ﷻ says
أَلَم يَعلَم بِأَنَّ اللهَ يَرٰى
Does he not know that Allah sees?
[96:14]
_
Do we not know that Allah ﷻ, one of His Sifaat is, Al Baseer?
_
Know that Allah ﷻ sees you! Whether we are in the darkness of the deepest ocean,
Whether we are in a tunnel below the earths surface,
Whether we like it or not.
Allah ﷻ sees us!
_
Just as He ﷻ sees and knows, and provides for the black ant, walking on a black rock in the darkest of nights in the widest of Deserts!
He sees us, knows us, and provides for us!
_
Before,
We text that girl,
We watch that video,
We listen to that song,
We loosen that Hijab,
We shave that beard,
We take that loan,
We think and desire any sin, or we feel like not doing what is our duty, and we start to self justify…
_
Ask yourselves:
و ماذا اقول لله؟
And what will I say to Allah?
_
What will I say to Allah ﷻ on the day when I will be exposed bare, book in my right or left, face bright or dark, state of total regret, or total comfort?
_
What will I say to the One who created me, the One who Sustained me, the One who blessed me?
How will I justify using His blessings in the way of Shaytaan?
_
This is Taqwa!
This is the straight path to Jannah!
Contemplate on this Ayah!
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
And as for the one who fears to stand before his Lord and restrains his desires,
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Then surely Jannah is his abode.
[79:40-41]
_
You want Jannah?
Fear Allah ﷻ!
