I remind myself and you that Allah taught us to ask people to take the right path .
In the life journey we make various Mand commendings and we then tell the Lord.
and you that allah taught us to ask for the path to ask for the sirat
allah did not ask did not teach us to ask for the destination
to ask for jannah jannah is the destination and to ask for jannah is not prohibited
definitely we can ask for jannah but the ayat is not does not say guide us to jannah
he does not say
it says
allah guide us to the path
so
the path of righteousness the path of steadfastness the path of being firm on the right thing
the path that leads to jannah
now this teaches us therefore that
we need to focus on the effort
on the effort
the effort is what we are
responsible for in this life the result the destination the goal the target is jannah
now this is very different from how we live our lives and how we are taught to live our lives
because we are taught that we should focus on results
so what we can do is we need to think about our policies about what will happen in our lives
and if we do these things based on the results of our experience and developments
it will be the arrow on the crown a number of examples or drug
yeah
which of them
is either
or but
Now, even in the dunya, if you follow this process, believe me, you will succeed far
better than focusing just on results.
The problem with focusing only on results is twofold.
One is that we sometimes start taking shortcuts.
We end up compromising principles.
We end up compromising the basic fundamentals of our work.
And then the whole legacy itself is lost.
Second thing is that when results don’t come for a while, then we lose hope.
We get discouraged.
Now, results not coming for a while is very normal because everything has a gestation
period.
Just like a gestation period.
Just like a gestation period.
The chicken’s egg takes 21 days to hatch.
Now, if you are in a hurry and you say, well, let me put this into an oven and jack up the
temperature, the egg will get cooked.
It will not hatch.
Life will not be formed in the egg.
Instead of life, the egg will die.
Right?
It will not be capable of producing life.
So if you want the egg to hatch, you must have patience.
Leave it alone 21 days under the chicken.
Or in the incubator and it will hatch.
So also in life, everything has an organic time period for it to fructify, for it to flower,
for it to fruit.
And until that time period is over, it will not, the result will not come.
Now we are living in a world where we can’t do anything.
We can’t do anything.
We can’t do anything.
But this is a very important thing.
We have to make sure that we have given speed a disproportionate importance.
Whatever is fast is best.
Now speed is a competitive advantage in many cases, so I’m not against that.
There is nothing good about unnecessarily delaying things by postponing things.
But at the same time, like everything else in life, speed also has a long-term benefit.
Right?
there is a appropriateness to it.
There are things where speed is good
and there are things where speed is not good.
And the place where speed is not good
is in the process of achieving goals.
So focus on the efforts.
When you focus on the effort,
you will focus on the minute parts of the effort.
Am I doing the thing in the way it is supposed to be done?
Am I following the process the way the process should be followed?
Am I compromising principles and ethics and morals?
Am I being kind?
Am I being compassionate?
Am I looking at how I do something,
not only what I’m doing?
Now when you do all of this,
then the result has to come
because if the process is right,
the process is for a purpose
and the purpose is to achieve the result.
So the result,
will come.
There is no way the result will not come.
But when you focus on the process,
you will find that
you will not lose hope.
You will not get discouraged.
You will continue to do the right thing
and the result will come.
Inshallah.
So our goal and the result
is the Akhira.
It is the Ridha of Allah SWT.
If you Jannah, we ask Allah for this.
And Allah promised this.
Allah said,
And Allah said,
أَخِبَتُ
The success in the Akhira
is for the people of Taqwa.
So what must we do?
Focus on Taqwa.
How can I become a Buttaqi?
How can I
get the Khashat of Allah?
The love of Allah?
The fear of Allah’s punishment?
The fear of displeasing Allah SWT?
How can I get this into myself?
And that is what produces us,
produces us,
the Taqwa and Akhira.
This is for the Muttareen.
We ask Allah SWT to help us
to get our priorities right
and to be able to
live this life in a way
that pleases Him,
which would result in a destination
which pleases us.
وَسَلَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَبِي الْكَرِيمِ وَعَلَى عَلَيْهِ
وَصَحْبِي أَجْمَئِم بِرَحْمَةِكَ أَرْحُمَنُ
