We talked about the first of the four questions.
Fourth question is two and one.
What is the most important thing that we will be required to answer when we stand before Allah on the Day of Judgment?
May Allah make it easy for us, inshallah.
And as the Prophet said, the feet of the son of Adam will not leave the presence of Allah.
Until he answers these four questions.
So this is Haqq.
This will happen.
We ask Allah to help us.
Because without the help of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala,
we cannot be successful here.
We cannot be successful anywhere in this life or the next.
And therefore the help of Allah is something that we seek and we must constantly continue to seek.
And so, the second question that we will be asked is, what did you do with your youth?
May Allah have mercy on us.
Youth is a time of maximum temptation, as well as the ability to fulfill all those desires that we are being tempted towards.
Temptation is of two parts.
Temptation is of two parts.
Temptation is of two parts.
There are two kinds.
One is the temptation of the nafs, which is our personal desires.
And the second one is the temptation that comes from shaitan,
whose sworn life goal is to take us to Jainah.
Now, how do you distinguish between these two?
Temptation that is coming from the nafs and temptation that is coming from shaitan.
The way of distinguishing is that the temptation that comes from the nafs is usually for one thing.
It’s not anything.
It’s one thing.
For example, somebody may be tempted
or drawn towards
something.
Using intoxicants.
So, narcotics, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, you know, addictive substances.
So, this is the temptation.
Now, that particular person who’s tempted to do these things is maybe the temptation of women.
The temptation of, if you are a woman, then temptation of having boyfriend, right?
The temptation of having a wife.
Temptation of friends.
Temptation of some other kind.
You may not be bothered with that, right?
You’re not particularly interested in that.
The interest is…
And the draw, the draw and the attraction is for this particular thing.
Conversely, it may be somebody who’s young man, must have girlfriends.
One is not enough, have one in every town.
You know, different kinds of things like that.
Which are, you know like for example, Guy Mahajan, you know, in Priickers or stole a cab, write History és Kommandi keitaré yang tohi ben krigen.
more sexual related but completely turned off have absolutely zero desire
to indulge in drugs or alcohol anything like that even the desire is not there
there may be sometimes people are tempted to towards their or addicted to
you know the television so you have people who in the in the house house the
TV runs though all day every day the other people who the TV is not even a
temptation you know it simply doesn’t they it’s not there it’s not part of
their thing they don’t care they don’t watch not a temptation today the biggest
addiction and temptation is our screens in our pockets cell phones
and
this has gone to the point of being a disease where it’s it’s an actual
identified disease psychological illness offered of screen screen addiction and
may Allah have mercy it looks like there’s no one left on the face of the
earth was not addicted to this in one way or the other now this is the
temptation that come from the

or must have a contrary opinion.
And they will argue with scholars,
they will argue with other people,
they will argue with their parents.
Constant arguments, constant fighting,
constant creating irritation in the lives of others.
This is an addiction.
This is also something that comes from the nafs.
Temptations that come from Shaitan are not specific.
Shaitan doesn’t care in which way you disobey Allah,
as long as you disobey Allah.
So the temptations of Shaitan are of all kinds.
So no matter what you do,
as long as it is disobedience of Allah,
this is for Shaitan,
this is for Allah.
This is for Shaitan, this is for Allah.
This is good.
So when you are being tempted,
the thing to think about is,
what is the nature of this?
And then if it is from Shaitan,
in any case say,
because this is the biggest weapon against Shaitan.
And if it’s a temptation of the nafs,
then ask Allah help in battling that temptation.
They say,
there are no отправic states.

they said that,

is the youth, male or female,
who obeyed Allah
and who was dedicated to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala
in their youth.
It is specific to that period in your life.
So dedicated to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala
in their youth.
So it is not just being dedicated to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala
throughout their life,
which is obviously a very good thing anyway.
But dedicated to Allah in their youth.
So this is the…
The youth is a very important part of our lives
and it’s something to cherish, to protect
and not to waste away.
So spend that time of your youth
in building yourself.
Instead of giving in to temptation
and becoming like an animal,
which is, you know,
whatever thing comes before you.
If it’s something to eat, eat it.
If it’s whatever it is, you know.
Instead of that,
see what can you gain.
Ask yourself a question,
what did I learn today?
This is a…
You can keep this as a formula
and
think about this and say,
what did I learn today?
Keep a little…
Keep a notebook next to your bed
and before you go to bed each night,
write it in your notebook.
Say, what did I learn today?
And the next morning when you wake up,
look at that and say,
oh, this is what I learned today.
Like what I learned yesterday.
And so today I must build on this.
So this is a very good habit.
It creates structure into your learning.
So your learning is not some accidental thing.
It is a conscious thing.
Because learning always is.
Learning is like a book.
It’s like a book.
It’s like breathing.
Experience is like breathing.
Everyone has experiences.
The question is, what do you do with that?
So learning is where you take the experience,
you record it,
then you reflect on it.
And after the experience,
you create a conceptual model
and you say, this is my actual learning.
And then you apply it.
So this is a…
a hack that I’m teaching you
in terms of your youth.
So preserve your youth
because that’s a very important part of your life.
And make sure that
you do not do anything which compromises that.
Final thing,
for those of us who have…
when we think of our youth, we have
obviously happy memories,
but also many sad ones.
Because we either didn’t know
the importance of our youth
in the context of the Akhira
when we were at that age.
Or maybe we knew, but we didn’t
pay attention to that, we didn’t care.
And today we are, you know,
what, 50, 60, whatever, 70.
And when we think back of our youth and say,
how was I in my teens?
How was I in my twenties?
And the answer is not very good.
So what do you do?
This is where we thank Allah
above everything else
for keeping the door of Tawbah
and Istighfar open.
Allah said,
Qutub al-Mu’min
and the Qutub al-Mu’min,
qutub al-Mu’min,
and the Qutub al-Mu’min,
and the Qutub al-Mu’min.
Allah said,
say,
say to those who have transgressed
against themselves,
say to those who have transgressed
against themselves,
do not lose hope
in the mercy of Allah.
Never despair,
never be afraid
never despair of the mercy of Allah.
Inna Allaha Yaqfuru Dhunuba Jamia
Truly Allah will forgive all sins.
Innahu Huwa Al-Ghafurur Rahim
Truly He is the One who is
the Most Forgiving,
the Most Merciful.
So keep your focus on that.
We ask Allah to forgive us
and make sincere Istighfar and Tawbah.
The sign of sincere Istighfar and Tawbah is
that you remove that thing,
that you remove that thing,
even the,
if possible,
even the thought of the pleasure
of that disobedience,
take it out of your heart,
take it out of your mind,
try and clean it up.
How can there be pleasure
in something which Allah describes?
Remove that,
if possible,
and ask Allah to help you in that.
And then give the pleasure
to those who are displeased.
And then give Sabaqa,
give charity,
so that Allah is pleased.
Because Allah is pleased with charity.
The charity cools
the anger of Allah .
So give in charity.
Make sure that
you don’t leave anything
that you have not sought forgiveness for.
Lot of Istighfar,
lot of Tawbah,
and continue to do that.
It’s not something that you stop doing.
Continue to do that,
but at least if
you miss it,
if you miss it,
you need us for its God.
