[0:00][Music] if the Quran says you get whatever your heart desires Fiamma

[0:10]- Tehillim force as the quran says whatever yourself desires you will

[0:15]get why should I press a lot Alain and all these good

[0:20]deeds and put myself through trouble Chaleff we make it to heaven

[0:25]I will desire anything and I will get it so there won't

[0:29]be a difference between me and the one who did more deeds

[0:33]right this is the question how do we respond to that I'll

[0:37]give you a theory that scholars have normally when we think of

[0:45]Paradise we think it's vertical layers and levels like I'm here let's

[0:49]say I'm in level 50 and then the one who's in 51

[0:54]years above me and then it's like you have this huge screen

[0:56]scraper with 6000 floors right you get the idea many scholars believe

[1:01]no paradise is like one huge city where people live in different

[1:11]neighborhoods and you meet other people who are in higher levels but

[1:15]the quality of the nemah they have is different I'll give you

[1:20]an example one of the drinks of paradise is enje beer or

[1:29]Kafue you are drinking it your level 50 but someone is level

[1:33]100 their drinking get to the joy that that person gets from

[1:36]this drink it's 50 times more than the joy you get from

[1:42]your drink Starbucks knows an jbeil bucks over there in Java see

[1:50]the quality is different yes if you desire a special drink you

[1:57]get that special drink but the joy you get it is based

[1:59]on your degree and level because you don't have the capacity for

[2:08]the higher degree different different purity exactly or different tastes stronger taste

[2:13]let's say different experience that's one way of looking at it secondly

[2:17]my dear brother and sisters when we examine the blessings of paradise

[2:26]one type of blessing is numerous dimensions today we live in a

[2:33]three-dimensional world right can you picture a fourth dimension how would it

[2:38]look like how about a fifth dimension how about a six seventh

[2:44]eighth ninth tenth right it's not limited to three that's all we

[2:46]know but it's not a lot can make infinite number of dimensions

[2:49]the higher your level in Paradise and new dimension you get to

[2:53]experience that that person doesn't even know about so he won't desire

[2:59]it because he doesn't know about it see right now if I

[3:03]tell you you get whatever you desire can you think of a

[3:09]sixth sense can you you can desire anything within the senses that

[3:15]you have but if I were to tell you I'll give you

[3:21]anything your heart desires even if you can think of a sixth

[3:23]sense I'll give it to you can you think of it you

[3:26]can't give me an example because you don't know now the one

[3:32]in Paradise who has a higher level Allah gives him more knowledge

[3:36]of what kind of dimensions there are so he desires them and

[3:39]he gets them see so don't say whatever I desire I'm gonna

[3:44]be the same no because your mental knowledge will be less than

[3:47]others so what you desire is going to be in a limited

[3:51]circle than what someone else desires keep that in mind that's why

[3:54]the more you do good deeds the more that capacity increases that's

[3:58]the second point the third point and this is the most important

[4:01]point and we've talked about this before but just to refresh your

[4:05]memory one objection atheists have I've seen that they say this they're

[4:16]like you know even if there was a heaven paradise were not

[4:19]interested why we'd get bored million years five million years ten million

[4:26]years and then what I don't want to go to a place

[4:29]where I'm stuck for infinity and we'll get bored regardless of what

[4:35]God wants to give me will get bored that's the argument they

[4:38]made their response to that my dear brothers and sisters the power

[4:42]of Allah is unlimited every day in paradise Allah brings you a

[4:47]new experience that you won't get bored but do you know what

[4:49]will keep you going in paradise see in this world when it

[4:53]comes to physical desires when you get thirsty have you seen after

[4:56]a long day of fasting you get thirsty and then you drink

[5:00]that cold water have you just imagined that feeling see you smile

[5:06]when you just imagined it if this feeling occurs every single day

[5:12]of you quenching your thirst do you get bored of that why

[5:16]because it's amazing exactly it's amazing you never get bored of it

[5:23]have you experienced hunger severe hundred than you were about to eat

[5:29]do you ever get bored of that feeling no why it's amazing

[5:34]now my dear brothers and sisters which one is greater the need

[5:43]of the soul or the need of the body the need of

[5:46]the soul quenching the soul is more enjoyable than quenching the thirst

[5:50]of your body and you know how that will be quenched the

[5:56]hadith says every single week in paradise and Jenna a lot gathers

[6:00]the believers on a Friday every single week on a Friday Allah

[6:07]reveals to them new knowledge directly from Allah and the knowledge of

[6:11]Allah is infinite so for infinity every week you get new knowledge

[6:15]from Allah Spano Ta'ala and the believers in Paradise they wait by

[6:19]the minute for that day and it quenches their soul they never

[6:24]get bored in paradise see the LACMA that's waiting for us now

[6:29]how much knowledge will God give you that depends on your degree

[6:35]the higher the believer the more knowledge from Allah subhana wa tada

[6:37]and that's why the Quran tells us look it's not worth it

[6:43]for 50 60 70 years to waste that infinite opportunity it's not

[6:49]worth it Imam Ali burn everybody beautifully in Nanjing bonaga he says

[6:56]Avenue mu I hadn't Lin Epson you Cerrone Ellen Villa kuphulu ha

[7:04]where to do fathanah Oh Lulu ha he says why should I

[7:07]oppress anyone is it worth it for me to oppress anyone for

[7:13]a body that is racing to the dust and the dirt and

[7:19]it's going to stay there for such a long time is it

[7:20]worth it to waste that opportunity because of this body that's going

[7:26]to dust it's not worth it [Music] you
