Alllah Tells Us In Verse Number 94 (Surah-Al-Ma'Idah) Something Very Interesting.
He Loves It When We Stay Away From Things For His Sake.
He Loves It When We Stay Away From Prohibitions That He Has
Declared Prohibited. From The Very Beginning, From The Time
Of Adam Alayhi Salatu Wassalam.
That Is The Plan Of Allah.
So Allah Says When You Are Embarking On The Pilgrimage Certain
Things, I Will Prohibit Because I Want To Prohibit Them.
And Those Things That I'Ve Prohibited In Order For You To
Prove Your Consciousness Of Me And Your Relationship With
Me And Your Love Of Me, I Will Dangle Them In Front Of You
Just To Test You Who From Among You Stays Away Knowing That
This Is Wrong And It'S Prohibited Subhanallah, Only To Test
You Allah Allows Certain Things
He Has Prohibited To Be Accessible To You And He Makes It
Easy For You To Do Achieve That But You Stay Away For His
Sake. What Does That Prove?
Subhanallah, When A Person Is Married For The Sake Of Their
Spouse. They Would Sometimes Stay Away From Adultery Etc.
But If You Were To Do It For The Sake Of Allah, It Is Far
Broader And You Will Achieve The Happiness Of Your Spouse
Too, Subhanallah, Even If The Person Comes To You And Really
Asks You To Commit The Sin With Them, If You Were To Abstain
Bearing Allah In Mind, Aren'T You On A Higher Level? You Achieve The Comfort.
You'Re No Longer Worried About Being Caught And So On. My
Brothers And Sisters Those Who Have Fallen, Seek The Forgiveness
Of Allah Listen To Verse Number 94 Of Surat Al-Ma'Idah, Very
Interesting, Oh You Who Believe In The Condition Of Ihram
Which Is A Certain Condition That Those Engaging In The Pilgrimage
Need To Get Into; Allah Says In That Condition
We Will Test You By Some Of The Hunting Animals That Will
Be So Close, Close Range Of Your Hands As Well As Your Spears.
It Will Be So Easy.
So Tempting For You To Hunt And We Prohibited Hunting For
You In That Condition.
So Allah Says When You'Re In That Condition Of Ihram, You'Re
Not Allowed To Hunt.
Why? Because Allah Said So. That'S It.
You Must Busy Yourself Trying To Remember Allah And Engaging
In Other Acts Of Worship.
It'S Not All About Running Behind The Hunting Animal In That
That Particular Condition. So Allah Says, But In Order To
Test You Who From Amongst You; Really Fears Allah Or Is Conscious
Of Allah Or Has Developed The Correct Relationship With Allah,
He Will Test You By Letting Those Animals Come Right Close
To You, Subhanallah And Allah Says In Order To Know Who
Is Conscious Of Allah, Who Fears Allah, When No One Is Watching
Besides Allah; Amazing.
So Those Who Stay Away
They Have The Correct Relationship With Allah. May Allah Grant
Us That Comfort And The Goodness. This Verse, Although It Is
Speaking About Those Who Are Going On The Pilgrimage In That
Condition, But The Meaning Is Broader, Brothers And Sisters
When Things Are Prohibited,
Sometimes, Allah Might Test You By Making It Accessible, It Is
So Tempting To Earn Money In The Wrong Way.
Allah Says, Do You Prefer Me Or You Prefer The Money That
Is Earned In A Wrong Way? Subhanallah,
It'S Up To You To Prove Yourself To Allah.
That'S Allah Giving You A Chance To Prove Yourself To Him
And He Will Give You The Comfort As A Result Of That. The
Blessings, They Are In Halal Income Such That Even If You
Were To Try Your Best With Haram Income, You Would Never
Be Able To Achieve What You Would Achieve By A Little Bit
Of Halal Income, The Blessings What We Seek From Allah Subhanahu
Wa'Ta'Ala. The Same Applies When Adultery Is Very Easy To
Commit And You Still Stay Away From It.
You'Ve Arrived At A Different Level In Your Relationship
With Allah. When Doing Something Totally Wrong Whether It
Be Intoxicants Or Gambling When It Is So Easy,
So Tempting; Others Have Made Money, Others Are Saying
Certain Things But You Know Between You And Allah Says Don'T
Do It.
It Is An Abomination From The Handiwork Of The Devil And
You Stay Away From It Allah Protects You From Crisis. Allah
Gives You The Comfort That You Will Only Be Able To Taste
When You'Ve Developed That Beautiful Correct Relationship
With Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala. So We Ask Allah Subhanahu
Wa'Ta'Ala To Grant Us From His Mercy.
