This transcription features a panel discussion from Yaqeen Institute focusing on spiritual themes from the Quran, particularly Juz' 18, and the importance of sustaining faith beyond Ramadan. The speakers explore the Quran's role as nourishment for the soul, a clear criterion (Al-Furqan) for guidance, and a protective cure. They reflect on Allah's attributes, such as Al-Halim, as models for personal conduct, and discuss the Day of Judgment as a time when the faithful will be justly rewarded. The conversation also covers practical matters, encouraging support for Yaqeen's educational media and research, which includes series like "Real Talk" and academic papers for deeper study. As Ramadan nears its end, the panel advises believers to seek seclusion (khalwa) for personal worship and to maintain their spiritual momentum, emphasizing that true success lies in humble obedience and a heartfelt connection to Allah.

Speaker 2
The day of judgement Subhanallah as a courtroom is such a scary thought.
May Eliza to protect us and and make our hesab easy.
What other judge will say, oh, like let's bring the voluntary deeds and like, let's fill in, especially when the judge is the subject of the transgression?
Speaker 3
But the sustenance of the soul Subhanallah and the Quran is that without a doubt that the Quran, when one reads it, when one ponders over it, it starts inward.
And a loss of paradala is the one that has created all of creation.
He's created the human beings, the plants, everything that.
Speaker 4
Moment that you feel belittled or insignificant or like honestly, like people are making fun of you and you and you have those moments.
Remember this, this fierce discussion that's like, well, that's why they're putting these people in their place, the the rightful place.
Speaker 2
Yes, and I'm Mariko Marakat, everyone, welcome back to Quran 3430 Hemdale Al Brahmin.
As we come into the 18th Jews, we are just at the gates of the last 10 nights.
We want to remind you all inshallah Tana to please tune in to all the content that's coming up Inshallah.
Keep up with the content that's already come out and bind the night support the work of Yakim.
You have an opportunity to show on these last two nights to plug in your donations for the last 10 Bind the nights.
This is where the majority of our support comes in for the entire year is through people like yourselves that benefit from the content and want other people to benefit as well, Inshallah, and continue to do so without any charge we have with us.
Hamdallah Brahmin, one of our oldest contributors, Inshallah, who's been with Yakin from the very start.
Hamdallah Brahmin Dr. Tasneem Al Kreek, how are you?
Speaker 4
Hamdallah doing good.
I didn't get a doctorate this time.
Speaker 2
Dictora, I said dictora, right, Doctor?
Dictora.
Dictora Marta.
Dictora, right.
That's what I'm saying Dictora Omar, dictora Mohad Mashallah and Omnoseba.
We can say that that's probably like the most like like it's sticking.
It's sticking Omnoseba sticks.
Mashallah, you're doing a lot Hamdanah, you're writing a lot.
You got the series Real Talk and Hamdanah is beautifully filmed.
What do you what do you say to people now that are like Yakin is awesome and Ramadan, but like how do we keep it up for them Inshallah time after and hold on.
What do they have to look forward to after and hold on?
Why should they continue to tune in the Yukin?
Speaker 4
Handela We just finished wrapping up production for a whole new series for the women's series on Real Talk, and at this point it's already all 10 episodes have come out and I think this is just the start.
Handela, Our media team is incredibly talented and they're really ready to produce a lot more, a lot faster, a lot better.
And I think it's, I think it's only the beginning.
So if if you enjoyed almost on, if you enjoyed the series before, we need your, your guidance in terms of like what you want next, because we're I think we're ready to move full speed ahead of the show.
Speaker 2
What about the research beyond the media?
You know what?
What do you tell people that don't feel like reading papers?
Speaker 4
Do I go into my professor mode about like the importance of literacy?
Speaker 2
Especially in AI.
Speaker 4
You know, you know, I guess I can, I can speak to something because like I, I recorded a video and one of the episodes was on men marriage.
I also wrote a paper on gender roles.
The amount of detail I was able to go through in the paper that you can't get in a video series.
It's just, there's so much more to the conversation.
So I, I think that reading papers is so valuable for those who are looking for detail for citations and evidence.
And like you're a lot more careful with wording.
And that's so important, especially when you're getting into sort of like more nuanced topics.
You really want to be careful with more choice.
And like, sometimes you have a podcast and it's really hard to just be like specific with what you're trying to say.
So I think you want to take its next level.
Let's just, you know, start reading the papers and we'll produce the papers you want that the topics people want.
So we just need to hear from you.
And Michelle, we can do that too.
Speaker 2
I think people often forget like we've, we never stop producing papers, we keep producing in Hamdallah.
We, we constantly invest in our research with Hamdallah and both the media quality, the substance is growing as well as the papers and, and you've been a huge part of that male eyes that rewards you in the whole research team.
Connecting to Allah: Al-Halim, Kahlua, and the Light of Juz 18
Last question for you before we get started with the jizz is what's your favorite name of a Las Panata at this moment?
Speaker 4
I think that Halim has been resonating a lot lately.
And Halim I just, I think to myself, because the way that I've been approaching the names of Los Pantara is how can I be a better person through the name of Los Pantara?
Like, how can I be inspired to be a better person when I think about Halim?
And that's something I can work on.
And when I see Los Pantaras hit him in our life, his forbearance, his gentleness, his like, is awful, like the constantly forgiving, I think to myself, Man, I really ought to step it up.
If the most part had is this generous with us, the least we can do is sort of resemble that even a fraction.
Speaker 2
Absolutely, Sheikh Abdullah, as we're getting into last 10 almost now, like this is like a post Ramadan dip, you know, like you got to crank it back up.
What's your quick advice to people before we get started?
Like how do they now take it into the last 10 in the right way?
Speaker 3
I think really what's important is to look in the benefit of what is called Kahlua to have your time alone with the Las Pantala.
Maybe these times are Ramadan, you, you know, praying in congregation.
Then after that you're hanging out with people and stuff like that.
But have you really had that time to make to Hajute, you know, and have your time alone with the Las Pantala and to listen to your thoughts and to ponder on that?
Speaker 2
That's really important because like there's a lot of programming, a lot of community in the last 10 and stuff like that.
But there's also like that important command to really isolate yourself even when you're in the most, you take a corner, you know, sit with yourself, like trying not to just constantly get lost in the community stuff, but also in your individual stuff.
It's like a lot kind of it's very beneficial.
By the way, it actually fits just 18.
So as we come to it, because just 18 starts off with your own right.
So successful are the believers and those are the ones that first and foremost have deep humility in their prayers.
So just a quick overview of this Jews as it relates to how Allah Azza talks about himself first and foremost.
Just something I noticed the beginning of just 17 is Allah Azza describing Anas fieraf Latin.
They're pushing away the hour as the hour is coming close to them.
They're pushing away Allah Azza, Azza the hour, all thoughts of religiosity.
And then this just starts off with like they're inviting, Alas, Panhasana, the thoughts of the hereafter and and what comes into their lives.
So right away there is a a contrast that's being drawn.
Also a lot as Jen mentions Al Farah success.
I I know I haven't started with the part about alas, Panzada, but I couldn't help this part success.
But the believers have been successful.
After Al Motminoon comes a Noor and Eliza just says in verse 51 in the macana called El Montminina either Duru El Allahi or Asuri.
So Eliza just mentions that the only response for the true believers when they're called to Allah and his messenger so that he may judge between them is to say we hear and we obey.
Verily, they are the ones who truly succeed.
So this idea of falah is so, you know, powerful in this Jews like this is how you succeed by connecting deeply to Allah, responding to Allah, inviting Allah azzawajal into your thoughts, into your deeds, into your hearts and and moving accordingly.
The last thing that I'll say here inshallah to Adam in regards to this overview, just look at Al Montminon Anur al Farkhan inserted Montminon Allah Azzawajal introduces himself as al Khanak the creator, right?
So the one who created and insan, who created humanity and who sustains humanity, Surutunur Allahu nurus Allah Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth.
And so you have this idea of Allah Azza creating and not just guiding, but Allah spanatada bringing life in the full spiritual sense through his light to everything that he creates.
And then surutil for Khan Tabarah Khaledi Nazel for Khan, right?
The the most blessed incubator of that light is the Quran, right?
And so Allah Azzad praises himself as the Creator in Surat Muminoun.
He praises himself as the light in Suratunur.
And then he praises himself as the one who revealed the book of light, the criterion of truth, you know, Nazzal al Farkhan.
It's really interesting because like when Allah Azzad refers to the Quran as Al Farkhan, it's the criterion, right?
And you think about like the way people are being described in just 17, right?
More alone, turning away, not paying attention, distant.
And then and this just people that are deeply connecting.
And of course, the contrast isn't every just between the believers and the disbelievers.
The fork on sorts out light from darkness, truth from falsehood, success from failure, right?
And all of that goes back to the source of all truth.
And hacked himself, Subhanahu Watahara and nor himself Subhanahu Watahara.
So he's the Lord of creation, He's the light of guidance, He's the one who descends revelation.
So it's, you know, if there's like a visual map, and I often try to think about this when we're reading through a Jews, like if this Jews could be summarized in a visual, right?
And don't ask AI to do it for you.
You have to sit and do it yourself and actually Draw Something out in your head and your heart.
It's Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala, engaging every single element of creation with all that he's given around us.
The book, the signs, Allah is that engaging the heart, Allah engaging the mind that translating into your prayer, that translating into every form of like deep, thoughtful engagement with everything that Allah has put around you.
The Quran as Sustenance, Criterion, and a Divine Cure
So first and foremost, Sheikh Abdullah would love to just hear your thoughts about how we approach this concept as believers.
Speaker 3
Yeah, Subhanallah.
I mean, you know, when Allah Subhanallah, the way he chooses to sustain his creation in different ways with the creation, you see that there's the tangible aspect of it.
I mean, even though Allah, Allah, we see how Allah swantala causes, there's different forms of creation that illuminate on other forms of creation to bring forth life and even to sustain it.
But the sustenance of the soul Subhanallah the Quran is that without a doubt that the Quran, when one reads it, when one ponders over it, it starts inward and a loss of paradala is the one that has created all of creation.
He's created the human beings, the plants, everything, etcetera.
But then within itself, they all work within each other with, with each other in harmony and synchrony to maintain each other all ultimately under the authority of a lawsuit behind him without a but then the Quran, when, when the with the human beings, that sustenance of recitation, that's sustenance of pondering over what you recite the blessings of struggling when reciting.
You know, it's all a form of bringing life and sustenance to the heart.
You know, in this month of Ramadan, how the Quran is probably the we hear the Quran the most in this month.
And you know, whether we're in the mass shade, whether we're in our homes, whether alone at the Kahlua, alone with the loss of Panhwatdala.
This is a you know, a lot of times we like to use the term to recharge, recharge our soul, recharge our heart, recharge our ponderance, our pondering over a loss of Mantdala, our our awareness of the creation and of the creator.
I think that's beautiful in this regards.
When the last Pontal is talking about how he is the notice of my wife with other than also the Quran is that which brings life.
But as a result of that, the more that you recite it, the blessings, some of them you will know and not an encounter and realize and be thankful for.
Some you will know an encounter and not be thankful for and some you will won't even realize, but it's still there.
It's a blessing, but we're not even aware of it.
So when when you when you fall into the category of knowing it, realizing it, being thankful for that, that's when hopefully it will really, really become a fork on for you.
You're able to decipher between truth and falsehood.
You're able to make the right choices in Ramadan.
You're able to fight yourself at 2:00 in the morning when fighters at 2:45 or three in the morning, 345.
You're able to do that in that month of Ramadan and hopefully sustain that within the following months, inshallah.
Speaker 2
Beautiful words.
I don't know.
So unless you know the truth of what's in front of you, then you can't act in a way that is, you know, in accordance.
Speaker 3
With that truth, according to that.
Speaker 2
Child, that's that's such a beautiful way.
Zach Lahesha, Dr. Chesney, any sort of thoughts on the overview of the Jews?
Before we get to the specific page, I want to ask you about.
Speaker 4
Yeah.
So I, I just wanted to add like the idea that the Quran is a Shifa describes as a shifa, like going to imagery, right?
You got to be creative with how you imagine that Shifa, that cure that, that protection, that that Quran comes into your life because sometimes it's like it could be just you not getting into that car accident.
My child comes out healthy from school every single day.
And I think to myself, that might be the ground protecting my child.
Like people ask me all the time, like, well, Michelle Law, like your life is organized and clean or whatever.
They'll say what they say.
And I think to myself, it's like what I'm protecting me like that is really what gets me through day, day by day.
And I, I think it's, it requires that little bit of imagination because sometimes we think it comes like in the form of like money or like something's very specific or I've healed from cancer.
But there's so much that could have afflicted you that must have protected you from because of relationship with Quran.
And I think that's when you start to invite that imagination, like the possibilities are endless and you just start to see a lost pandas Rahman mercy and she felt everywhere.
Speaker 2
It's so powerful, like people always like once you get sick, let me read Quran, let me do this, let me try to cure you with the Quran.
But it's, you know, as a Hassan, obviously it's a deeper, you know, connotation.
But you know, someone said that Fulani yahfil the Quran, that so and so memorizes the Quran, Quran.
He said rather the Quran protects him, right?
He doesn't protect, he doesn't guard the Quran with his memory, right?
The Quran envelopes him and protects him.
And of course, that's from spiritual illness, that's from physical illness, that's from so much of calamity that can come in the deepest sense of the word.
Al-Malik Al-Haq: The True King and Day of Judgment
So Doctor Tasneem, when we get to this page, this is a really powerful page sort of through what we known.
You know, Allah says Fatah and Allah money could have, it's like tabarak.
These are such powerful words to add Allah and money could have.
So exalted is Allah, the true king.
There is no God worthy of worship except him, the Lord of the noble throne.
This page though, it really talks about, you know, Allah being greater than everything else and the purpose that you should find in life.
So as the lines are highlights how limited our time on earth is, what then should we be living for?
You know when it comes to this particular page and the names that are brought up on this page.
Speaker 4
You know, I was very excited to have just 18 because this is one of the pages in the Quran that I every time I read, I almost always have to stop.
Like, it's like those goosebumps moments.
The the page starts off because with this very descriptive imagery of the people who are now punished in the next life.
And it's like this back and forth dialogue of them begging a Las pantada.
Yeah, like, please, we regret it.
We messed up.
Get us out.
And I'll just ask them, did you not have all of the signs?
Like you had everything I told you time and time again, this is my message.
This is I'm trying to guide you.
And you continue to reject them just very like, again, like goosebump like dialogue between a Los Pantada and those who are now being punished.
We were overwhelmed.
We couldn't help ourselves.
And they're just trying to negotiate anyway, back out.
And the way Los Pantada, like, puts it into context is absolutely incredible.
Like you're staying in there.
I don't want like, essentially like not a word, right?
You had your chance.
You could have spoken up.
You could have done whatever it is that you needed to do.
Now it's too late.
In the hookah Badi, you know what?
There was a group of my worshippers.
There were as a group of people who saw the signs that I clearly displayed, clearly gave, and they responded right.
We believe in you.
Please forgive us.
Have mercy on us like we see your messages, we see your signs.
And because we know everything we're doing wrong, please forgive us.
Please have mercy.
Like you are the best of those who are merciful to others.
And this is the part that really just gives me chills.
You guys used to make fun of these people until like, you lost sight of everything.
You were constantly teasing these people.
You were criminalizing these people.
You always were after them.
And it's just such a lived experience, I think for so many of us where you feel like whether you're in college, you're in school, you're in hijab in public, what we all have those moments where you feel so small and belittled and like insignificant and you're constantly like, what are you wearing that for?
Why are you doing that?
Really going to stop and pray like you believe in God, Like something even as basic of like, really like the amount of times I was not not taken seriously.
It's like, OK, God's in the picture for you.
And there's those moments that you have and you just feel so little and insignificant.
And unless my dad flips the script on the day of judgement and says those people that you sat and made fun of, like I'm saving them and you are going Sophie had just you, you can sort of revel in this, this punishment.
And I and I think to me like that is such an incredible display.
Whilst Pan Dada is like his mercy to us in this dunya now, still that moment that you feel belittled or insignificant or like honestly, like people are making fun of you and you and you have those moments.
Remember this, this fierce discussion that's like, well, let's put that putting these people in their place, their rightful place and a lost pant that are praising you that on that day when you got past that moment when you were able to turn the lost pant and say, look, listen, this is really difficult, but I know I'm messing it up somehow.
I'm not doing what I need to be doing what I'm not.
Have mercy on us.
What I mean, right?
It's just like there's a little something that inviting you be one of those people.
You were made fun of.
Everyone's going to be made fun of.
But when you stand out and you push through and you make this draw, that is that is really what's going to distinguish you on the day of judgement.
So to me, it's a it's a, it's a message of like fear, fear of being among those who who are make fun of those who believe in God.
But I've hoped for those who stick through Despite that.
And so this is like a really important Segway, really like the set up to all the spontaneous says next.
And then it says they're asked like, like, like how, like how long were you even on that on this earth?
Like how long were you even there to make fun of, to disbelieve, to neglect my signs?
And they respond like just a few days.
Like, I don't know, the time went by so fast.
It was a couple days here and there.
And also says no, no, like, like, again, putting it into context, like at the end of the day, you neglected my signs.
It was all just a few days.
It was just a blink of an eye and everything was over.
Those few days.
You had the opportunity.
That limited time on earth you had that opportunity.
I created you for a purpose.
I sent you signs and you have something to look forward to to push through like literally just builds up all this this this to this moment almost Pantada says Fatah al Allahu al medical Hak exalted as lost Pantada al Malik al Hak right and it's there's a couple ways you can read this I about medical hack like if you read them separately, I think it's.
Is a good starting point Al Medic the king, but the king of what the king of this world, right that those moments when you feel unsure like in confident about who you are as a Muslim, as a believer that it it's difficult and it is difficult to believe right.
God is the true king.
He's the owner of this world.
Like I don't care who's in power now we have that focus.
God is al Medic and in how we have truth.
We have the full on, right.
We have what can guide us, make us, help us make those distinctions, have a stick to the truth, have that clarity that people are so desperately looking for, right?
And then you can read the, the, the names together.
And then you could have the true king, the only king, right, The best of kings.
And I I think it's it's like again, that powerful reminder of putting things in their place that people will make fun of you, those people who exist who deny me when you stick through you make this one to hammer Rahimian and the Surah also ends with the same thing.
Enter Haider Rahimian, right that the you are the best of those who have mercy.
It's this desperate plea.
Allah have mercy.
And it's because it's not easy.
And when you do, Los Pantata says, I will give you your rightful place.
This world is only a few days.
It's going to pass like this.
You're going to be asked and it's going to be like what it was just a day or two.
And Los Pantata says, reminds us, we did not create you without that purpose.
So to me, it's when I read and medical help, I think to myself, I must find that as the real he's the one in charge, right?
Don't lose sight of that.
And we have the truth.
We have something that these people don't have.
And it's that what sets us apart.
And it's that which gets us to that plane, that place, that ranked where we can be told Los Pantes says, no, no, you, you get all of this because you stood fast, right?
You get all of this because despite everyone pressuring you, you believed in my word.
And it's an invitation to make this day in and day out, especially last nights of Ramadan.
Please forgive us.
Have mercy on us.
You are the best of those who have mercy.
Speaker 3
Yeah, Subhanallah, there's a there's a lot of things that went to my mind and that Subhanallah that that verse always every time it's Sophia would like to Kali moon.
It's like the first thing I think about is, you know, if you're that person that has told someone something over and over and time and time again and they don't do it.
And then when they finally, you know, see the they get stung by the reality of what you told them to stay away from and then they come to you said no, no, I told you that's it.
I've told you, that's it.
You know, now you have to deal with that particular situation.
You have to face the consequences.
And then you would allow the method of that allows a much greater, much greater example.
Subhanallah, when I lost $1.00 man at the same time he's saying no, no, stay there and don't even speak let to Kaliman.
That's it.
All those opportunities that's been there in this life.
And then I started to think about Subhanallah.
There was a an individual that used to live with me.
He was locked up, you know, Mashallah chorus, Mashallah, bless him.
I met him when he became a Muslim.
He he became a Muslim.
He got kicked out of his house.
He lived with me.
Then when I went to go stay in Medina, he went back to jail.
Then I graduate from Medina.
We ended up living together again.
Don't ask me how.
That's just from the father of a loss from $100.
But he was telling me and I was remembering for those of you that are out there that you know when you commit that crime and you do something wrong and then you go to court, even if it's a speeding ticket, you go to court.
You're very subservient at that moment.
You don't want to face any penalty.
You're going to be on your best manners.
He is the owner of that day and all the other days and that day he is the owner.
There is no who is the authority for on this day, Allah is telling you, he is telling you, but if we're not reading these verses, if we're not constantly encountering what Allah is telling you, he's painting the picture for you, for you to even think about what efforts are you making?
Because those of you that have went to court at least and many other examples, you say, man, I wish I wouldn't have done that.
I wish I wouldn't have speed.
I wish I would have paid that bill.
I wish I would have done.
I wish I would have done so and so and so and so after that.
What are you going to do in the following days?
What are you going to do after this Ramadan is over on these last 10 days?
How are you going to rectify those those deeds?
What are you going to do?
And even if it's a little, do that little deed, but have that lost sincerity and the lost Pandala will rectify inshallah, but that day will come.
That is he's, that's what he's warning you about, the one that has authority because he is the king, the ownership, He is the one that has authority over that day.
And he's letting you know that firstly, there will be a day that will take place.
You don't want to be from those inhabitants.
Me, I lost one time.
I make this free from that shell.
It's.
Balancing Allah's Mercy and Accountability on Judgment Day
Probably such a powerful elaboration my law reward you.
I don't think I'll read the page the same way again and I bless you.
But it's probably like that imagery of the courtroom that you're just talking about, like my brothers lawyer talking about this like a lot like what it looks like in a courtroom, right?
Like in you're right.
Like unless it's like a political prisoner like these, these people that are that are wrongfully being held, but someone like that did something and they know they did it.
What are you dependent on at that point?
You're dependent upon in the worldly sense, how well your lawyer can argue for you, how many holes your lawyer can poke.
And then your performance of guilt.
It's your performance of guilt.
How, how regretful you can appear to be in those moments so that maybe the jury or the judge would look at you with some pity.
And you can always see when they're like reading out, like showing the videos, you see the person kind of put their head down.
Very few people will like, sit up and laugh because they know they're done anyway.
You know, people put their heads down.
It's just kind of like, man, like, yeah, like, how do you feel about yourself right now?
How do you feel about what you did?
And the day of judgement panel as a courtroom is such a scary thought.
You know, my Eliza did to protect us and and make our hey sob easy.
And I think the the part of like the Haidol rahimin Allah, Muhammad Allah have mercy on us.
It's not just the forgiveness, but the fact that anybody passes through that because you can't perform for a lost pound of time.
You can't fake this.
You can't you can't fake regret on the day of judgment.
The fact that anybody survives that.
And in fact, Allah Azzawajal guarantees the believers right.
You have some of Hisab and Yasira that they'll have an easy accountability and a lies or that will allow the prophets like them to intercede.
And a lost pants I will fill in.
Like what other judge?
Seriously, what other judge will say, oh, like let's bring the voluntary deeds and like, let's fill in especially when the judge is the subject of the transgression.
You aggressed on the rights of a lies or judge.
There's not another party here.
This is between you and a lost pants.
Of course there's loading towards another person, you know.
Yeah, we like you're in trouble.
Woe to you.
Like because a lost pants is just he's not going to show mercy on behalf of someone else.
He's going to take their full rights.
But overall, like you aggressed on the rights of a lost parent out.
You're standing in front of all in law saying we're the voluntary deeds.
Patch up the the the obligatory good deeds and a lost pants out bringing you close to him and Najwa saying like you committed these sins in secret.
I'm I'm covering you, I'm concealing you, I'm forgiving you for them.
And by the way, I'm not going to embarrass you in front of these people.
What other judge does that?
So when you think of Almanico Haq Allah as the ultimate king, the ultimate judge, the fact that that's paired with his rahma, and that's something's problem on the very beginning of the Ramadan series when it's talking about the names of Allah's parents.
If you pair a Rahman with any other name, it fits every other name of Allah.
If you put a Rahman first, it fits because he's Rahman with his justice, he's Rahman with his power, he's Rahman with his might, he's Rahman with his all of it avenging.
He's Rahman with all of it, right?
So at the end of the day, you know, you come back to the beginning of sorts.
And what we know, can we focus?
Can we exert ourselves?
And you know, Doctor Sasim, I want to leave the last word with you, inshallah.
It's out of the last couple of minutes.
You know, you started us off with this really powerful discussion.
What are some takeaways for people to not despair?
Speaker 4
You know, I think it's beautiful because we're talking about on the day of judgement when it's too late, but I think about all of the times.
But there's a friend that I had that was constantly sort of going down this downhill and is a very close friend.
And I kept like day in and day out.
Listen, you're in a bad space, you're in a bad place.
Like you need to get out of it.
You got to do XYZ day in and day out for months on end.
Of course, months, almost a year passes by and exactly what I predicted was going to happen happened.
And I, I just remember being so angry the second I heard that what I told them for almost a year, day in and day out, like you got to change.
You got to change exactly what I told them was going to happen, happen, go to my room.
I'm like screaming in my pillow.
Like, hello, I gave you, I gave you all the tips you needed.
I was the support you needed.
Like I, I reminded you like there was no, you have no excuse.
And for like 30 seconds I was just like sort of screaming into my pillow, like I can't let this happen.
And then it just like something clicked in my head and I was like, this sounds familiar.
This sounds familiar.
Day in and day out I lost Pantada.
It gives you signs.
This is my message.
These are my laws.
This is what you do.
Everything I'm telling you to do is good for you.
Everything is good for you.
Just listen to me.
I got you.
And day in and day out we make a mistake day in and day out like oops, sorry, did it again.
Day in and day out.
We come to Ramadan and we got a full plate.
And I thought to myself, like, and when I when I mentioned had him in the beginning, it was like this hidden like I lost Pantada.
I'm like, wait a minute.
It's like the anger within like a minute dissipated like so let's Pat that he can forgive me day in and day out for making these mistakes.
Who am I not to forgive this person right now?
And I had no grudge at that moment.
Just think of us, Patata's mercy and hiddenness, forbearance for our mistakes day in and day out, despite every single time telling us I told you so.
But then that is balanced, right?
That Rahma, the helm is balanced with Los Pantata saying you have a time.
You can't, you can't play this game for the rest of your life.
I'll give you chance after chance after chance.
But for those who have lost their chance and have continued to push past and refuse to, to ask for forgiveness for that guidance, that's one of those Pantata, his judgement, his his decree.
Like you can read those verses and think like that's very strict, but if you know the context of like the amount of I gave you on this earth, day in and day, I reminded you, I gave you everything, but now you are taking advantage of me.
That is when like a Los Pantada like clarifies, like I'm in charge, right?
And many could help.
And I so I think there's like that, that balancing act, like a Los Pantada his, that mercy is there in the stunia.
Take advantage of it like because when that day comes, that that is when your last chance is over.
And that is the reminder Los Pantada, like don't wait until you you get to that date, right?
We want to turn to Los Pantos, especially the last 10 nights of Ramadan.
And he gave you that opportunity.
