[0:00][Music] [Music] Heat.

[0:12]Heat.

[0:18][Music] The holy month of Ramadan is the month of reflection.

[0:36]We reflect on the beautiful teachings of the Quran.

[0:42]We reflect on the powerful words of the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi

[0:45]and we reflect on the mesmerizing words of the commander of the

[0:55]faithful.

[0:56]Here are 10 words from Imam that will change your perspective on

[1:02]life.

[1:03]10 beautiful words through which the Imisam describes the reality of this

[1:09]dunya of this world.

[1:10]Many times we get carried away.

[1:12]We get tempted.

[1:14]We get enslaved to the materialistic dimension of this world.

[1:18]We drown in this world.

[1:24]Immiam through these 10 words teaches us what this world is all

[1:27]about.

[1:28]If you look at it from a materialistic perspective, according to one

[1:33]of the sermons of Imam was asked describe to us the world.

[1:41]Now Imam who is the master of eloquence.

[1:44]There is nothing that he cannot describe.

[1:47]But this world is so dangerous.

[1:50]It's so confusing.

[1:53]IM Ali says, "How do you want me to describe this world

[1:58]for you when it's filled with challenges?

[2:00]Where do I start from?" Let's look at these 10 words one

[2:05]and two.

[2:09]How do you want me to describe a world that starts with

[2:15]difficulty and it ends with destruction?

[2:18]When we are born, we cry.

[2:22]It's the first time that we're breathing oxygen directly from our lungs,

[2:28]using our lungs.

[2:28]We are very uncomfortable.

[2:31]We see light for the first time.

[2:35]It's disturbing for us.

[2:36]You're born in difficulty with difficulty.

[2:40]And then as an infant, you grow up.

[2:44]Sometimes you get sick.

[2:47]You have a fever.

[2:46]You have an upset stomach.

[2:47]And then you're teething.

[2:51]It's difficulty after difficulty.

[2:52]And then you are a toddler and that comes with its set

[2:57]of challenges as you're exploring the world.

[2:58]And then you have to go to school and then comes your

[3:02]adolescence.

[3:03]And then is it over?

[3:04]No.

[3:04]Now as a young adult you have to establish yourself.

[3:06]You have to complete your education.

[3:10]You have to struggle so hard to find a career.

[3:12]Is it over then?

[3:14]No.

[3:15]Now you have to get married and you have to build a

[3:17]good family.

[3:18]You have to raise righteous children.

[3:20]Life comes with a lot of difficulties.

[3:22]Imam Ali says, "How do you want me to to describe this

[3:27]world when it begins with difficulty and it finishes with destruction?

[3:32]Everything that you build, you have to leave.

[3:35]You have to leave your business one day.

[3:37]You have to leave your house.

[3:38]You have to leave your fancy cars.

[3:40]You have to leave that cash, those stocks, those cryptos.

[3:42]You have to leave all of that.

[3:46]That's the end.

[3:46]And this body that you spent so much time taking care of,

[3:51]softening it, making your hair shiny, beautifying your looks, all those cosmetic

[3:56]surgeries, you have to leave that body to the dust of the

[3:58]earth.

[3:59]That's one and two.

[4:01]Three and four.

[4:05]The imam says, "Look at these qualities of this.

[4:10]The halal has a reckoning.

[4:12]Accountability comes with halal.

[4:14]Some people think just because they're doing something halal, they're entitled to

[4:19]it.

[4:20]No.

[4:21]Allah will ask you, "How did you use resources on earth?

[4:26]Did you waste them or no?" Even if you're engaging in a

[4:28]halal activity, if you're not being purposeful, if you're being wasteful, Allah

[4:32]will hold you accountable.

[4:33]On the day of judgment, when it's a very long day, it

[4:38]could be 50,000 years for some people, Allah will question you about

[4:41]every activity you did in this world that was not purposeful, that

[4:45]was not useful, that was not productive.

[4:49]Even the has it comes with accountability.

[4:53]As for the haram, there comes punishment with it.

[4:58]You're between accountability and punishment.

[5:01]That's the true nature of this world.

[5:03]Five and six.

[5:06]The one who's rich in this is tried.

[5:12]And if you're poor, you're sad and sorrowful.

[5:17]Whether you're rich or you're poor, you will have your struggles in

[5:22]this life.

[5:23]As for the rich people, their money, their wealth is a source

[5:27]of trial.

[5:29]How?

[5:30]First of all, many wealthy people don't have peace of mind.

[5:33]Just research this.

[5:36]Google this up.

[5:39]Many rich people, their mental health takes a toll because they're constantly

[5:45]worrying about securing your wealth.

[5:47]It's one thing to make money, it's another to keep it.

[5:50]They're constantly trying to figure out what investment should I consider?

[5:54]Where should I put my money?

[5:55]If I put it in stocks, the stock market can crash.

[5:59]If I put it in crypto, crypto can crash as well.

[6:03]Real estate can take a hit.

[6:05]What do I do?

[6:06]This preoccupies the minds of most wealthy people.

[6:11]Secondly, the more money you have, the more resources you have, the

[6:18]more potential for corruption and arrogance.

[6:20]Even even the Bible here has a very interesting statement.

[6:27]It's attributed to prophet Isaam that he said the following.

[6:29]You can find this in the book of Matthew and in other

[6:32]gospels.

[6:32]Now we do believe that there is some truth in these gospels.

[6:37]These these gospels have captured some of the statements of prophet Isaam.

[6:43]In this very interesting analogy, according to Matthew 19:24, Jesus said, "Again,

[6:52]I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through

[6:55]the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to

[7:01]enter the kingdom of God." Now, this doesn't mean that all rich

[7:04]people are doomed, but many are because they spend their wealth not

[7:11]in the obedience of God.

[7:12]Their wealth drags them to corruption to arrogance and they don't fulfill

[7:18]their responsibility of taking care of the poor.

[7:21]And we have a similar wording in the holy Quran.

[7:28]You can find this in verse 40.

[7:29]Allahh states those people who reject the signs of God, who are

[7:40]arrogant, they disbelieve in God, the gates of the heavens shall not

[7:43]be open to them, and they will not enter heaven except if

[7:53]the camel were to pass through the eye of a needle.

[7:56]meaning it's impossible for that to happen.

[7:59]So this is an expression to say it's impossible for them to

[8:03]reach that mercy of God and go to heaven when they insist

[8:05]on their arrogance and corruption.

[8:09]And that's how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will deal with the evildoers

[8:17]with the criminals and imam teaches us that even the rich they

[8:21]have their trials and those who are poor they're always sad they

[8:29]feel miserable they always want something they may not have that contentment

[8:33]even though there are some poor people who are truly content and

[8:36]those who are they are at peace So if you're rich, you're

[8:40]going to have your share of trials.

[8:42]And if you're poor, you're going to experience sorrow and sadness.

[8:46]This is the reality of this world.

[8:48]Seven and eight.

[8:54]One of the true realities of this world is that those people

[8:59]who kill themselves to run after this world often times they will

[9:03]not reach what they want.

[9:03]the world will slip away from them.

[9:07]And then those people who are content, they don't pursue the world,

[9:12]Allah subhana wa ta'ala sometimes gives them the world.

[9:16]Some people and I'm sure you personally know people like that.

[9:20]They never pursued fame, they became famous.

[9:24]They never pursued recognition, but they achieved recognition.

[9:30]Some people did not kill themselves to be rich.

[9:31]But Allahh opened paths for them and they became rich.

[9:35]And then finally 9 and 10 that's nine that's 10.

[9:48]The ninth word of imam in this short sermon is that if

[9:55]you use the world to see as a lens to see it

[9:58]will give you insight.

[10:02]If you use the world as a means, as a tool to

[10:04]reflect, to see the reality of life, the world is very honest

[10:11]with you.

[10:09]Yes, the world deceives you, but at the same time, it's very

[10:14]honest with you.

[10:14]Go to the graveyard in the cemetery.

[10:16]Did the world ever lie to us and tell us you're going

[10:21]to live forever?

[10:20]By taking people from our lives, your parents pass away, friends pass

[10:25]away, people in your community passing away, the world is telling you,

[10:28]hey, you're next.

[10:30]The world is not lying to us.

[10:32]If you look at the reality of this world, you see someone

[10:36]who's rich, they may lose their wealth overnight.

[10:38]You can see wealthy mansions in Los Angeles and the fire will

[10:42]destroy them within hours.

[10:44]There's no stability in this world.

[10:46]If you have your hopes and your wealth and money and power

[10:51]that can be taken from you overnight and the world has shown

[10:55]you too many examples.

[10:58]Where did the world lie to us?

[10:59]When did the world lie to us?

[11:00]How did the world lie to us?

[11:03]We allow ourselves to be deceived.

[11:06]So if you use the world as a lens to see the

[11:09]reality of life, the world will give you insight.

[11:15]But if you look at the world, if your object is the

[11:20]world, the world will blind you.

[11:21]Just like the sun, we use sunlight to see everything around us.

[11:26]It gives us light.

[11:27]But if you were to look at the sun directly, it will

[11:32]blind you.

[11:30]Never look at the world directly because it will blind you.

[11:35]Beautiful powerful words from the commander of and in this month of

[11:45]Ramadan let us reflect on these golden words so that we bring

[11:48]ourselves closer to Allah subhana wa ta'ala so we know the reality

[11:54]of this dunya and we don't put our hopes in this dunya

[11:56]and fall into the traps of this dunya.
