[0:00]haha [Applause] [Music] [Music] it's Allah I once read a story about

[0:30]a simple fisherman who one day when he was cleaning the fish

[0:34]that he caught found a big beautiful pearl in the middle of

[0:38]the fish he became very happy and excited and he shared the

[0:43]news with his wife his wife was ecstatic and she suggested to

[0:47]him that he go to his friend who was a jeweler and

[0:51]sell this Pearl so that they could finally be financially independent so

[0:56]the fishermen took the parole to his friend the jeweler and he

[1:01]suggested or he offered to sell the Pearl to his friend his

[1:05]friend was amazed at how beautiful this Pearl was but he declined

[1:12]to buy it he told the fishermen that even if he were

[1:17]to sell his shop and his home he would still not be

[1:19]able to afford this Pearl instead he suggested that the fishermen take

[1:25]the Pearl to the wealthiest man in the city and offered to

[1:28]sell it to him so the man took the Pearl to the

[1:31]wealthiest man in the village in the city and he offered to

[1:36]sell it to him the wealthy man was amazed at how beautiful

[1:40]this Pearl was and he agreed to buy it he told the

[1:45]fishermen that he would allow him to enter into his massive Vault

[1:49]and to spend six hours there collecting whatever he wanted in return

[1:53]for the Pearl so the wealthy man's guards escorted the fishermen to

[2:00]the Vault and he entered into the vault he looked around in

[2:07]amazement at what he saw a massive vault which contained three sections

[2:12]one section contained all kinds of precious jewels Stones coins and gold

[2:20]the second section contained all types of beautiful Furniture comfortable bedding and

[2:28]the third section contained a large massive table filled with all kinds

[2:32]of fruits and vegetables food and drink so as the fisherman was

[2:40]looking around he decided that he would go first to the third

[2:42]section which contained the food so that he can eat and drink

[2:47]and gain enough energy to collect as many valuables as he could

[2:50]so he went and he began to eat and drink he spent

[2:54]a couple of hours eating and drinking until he was absolutely full

[2:57]afterwards he proceeded towards the first section with the jewels and decided

[3:03]that he would gather whatever he could but he passed by the

[3:09]section with beautiful and comfortable furniture and he couldn't resist what a

[3:13]comfortable bed what a beautiful furniture if he reasoned if I take

[3:19]a short nap here then I will have gained energy and I

[3:22]can collect as many valuables as I want so he found the

[3:27]biggest bed and soon he was fast asleep snoring away he then

[3:32]suddenly found himself being violently shaken awake he opened his eyes and

[3:38]he saw the guards standing and yelling it's time for you to

[3:41]leave your time is up the man tried to explain I still

[3:45]have time but when he looked at his watch indeed he found

[3:49]that his six hours was completely up so the guards they grabbed

[3:55]him they dragged him and they threw him outside of the vaults

[3:59]he had given up his Pearl and he had left the Vault

[4:07]empty-handed God has given each and every one of us a Priceless

[4:09]Pearl and that is our soul reminds us he says he says

[4:22]the value the price of your soul is nothing short of paradise

[4:27]so do not sell your soul for anything less than the price

[4:33]of paradise God has given each and every one of us a

[4:35]specific amount of time in this world and it's up to us

[4:42]to ask ourselves constantly what am I doing with my time what

[4:46]am I doing with my Priceless Pearl am I taking advantage of

[4:53]my time am I making sure that I'm developing my soul nurturing

[5:00]my soul or God forbid am I wasting my time away am

[5:03]I shortchanging myself by wasting this Pearl with things that have no

[5:08]ultimate value am I nurturing my soul with prayer with supplication with

[5:15]Charity with helping others with uplifting my community or God forbid am

[5:22]I engrossed fully in temporary Delights and Pleasures things that don't add

[5:28]value to my soul it's important for us to always think about

[5:32]what we're doing with this gift that God has given us with

[5:38]our time on Earth and that we refocus our efforts to make

[5:41]sure that we are nurturing our souls and that we are adding

[5:47]value to our souls so that we may be amongst those whom

[5:49]God describes he says in the Quran in Allah God has purchased

[6:00]from the Believers their souls and their wealth in return for Paradise

[6:06]it's important for us to think about this question what am I

[6:11]doing with my Priceless proof I asked God to give us all

[6:17]the success to be able to take advantage of our time here

[6:19]on Earth and to nurture our souls and to build it for

[6:23]that ultimate reward which is Paradise from God thank you [Music] foreign
