Trust the Rabb

"أوضي رهي لاشيطان رجيم" "بسم الله رحمن رحيم" إنه موحنا يستحي أي يظري بمثل ما بعوضة فما فوقها فألم الذين آمنوا فيعلمون أنه الحق من ربهم وأم الذين كفروا فياقولون ماذا أراد الله بهذا مثل يدل به كثيرا ويهده كثيرا وما يدل به إلا الفاسطين الذين يقذون أحد الله من بعد ميثاكه ويقذون ما أمر الله به أي أصلا ويفسدون في الأروف ولا إكهم لخاصرون كيف تكفرون بالله وكنتم أمواتا فاحيكم ثم يميتكم ثم يحيكم ثم إله ترجعون هو الذي خلق لكم ما في الأرض جميع ثم استعا إلى السماع فصوى هنسبع سماوات وهو بكل شيء العلي وإذا قال ربقا للمالئكة إنه جعل في الأرض خليفة قالوا أتجعلوا فيها من يفسلوا فيها ويفسلوا الدماء ونحن نصبه بحمدك ونقى الدسولك قال إني أعلموا ما لا تعلمون بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم قلوا الله أحد الله سمع لم يلد ولا ميهد ولم يقول له كفوان أحد صدق الله العبيم ومسنارخ مين الرحيم إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك سيكون بخير رسالتك أو رسالتك والحظة أنك يكون بخير رسالتك إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك لأنك ترى في الوقت لتحكير رسالتك إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك لأنه سيكون بخير رسالتك وفي الغال إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك لأنه سيكون بخير رسالتك إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير رسالتك إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير إذا قمت أنه سيكون بخير conviction that the world that I'm looking at is my ally and it's on my side that makes being human, properly human possible. Because being properly human is to have the sense of stupendous wonder, the spectacle of creation, this extraordinary miraculous light show that we're looking at. But if you assume that this thing is dangerous, then you don't want to look at it, you want to hide from it. So the only way to be problem-human is to look at the world that you're looking at. But this thing is vast, it's beyond calculation, but it is deliberate with me. There's an intelligence behind it that has a deliberate engagement with me in my interest. That means I assume that all will be well. I claim, sometimes despite how things appear, I claim for myself the conviction that all will be well. That means that I assure myself of my Rob's mercy. I assure myself that there's a good place for me in Acher. I don't suspect that I'm going to be done in. I don't suspect that the inadequacy and infermeness and the weakness that he's made in me, that is going to condemn me to the point where I'll burn forever. That's like saying this big thing that I'm looking at is hostile to me. Because what am I, if not flaws? And if my flaws aren't going to be forgiven, then I've been made by an intelligence bigger than me to be broken so that I can be burnt. That is, what kind of a God is that? What a strange idea. What sort of a conviction? Why would you call such a God a Rob? So I would encourage myself and I would encourage you to be fundamentally convinced that your life will have a good outcome, that your Acher will be good, that your Rob loves you, that your Rob protects you, that your Rob is your ally, that your Rob does not want to destroy you, that your Rob is the most forgiving. He is made me with my flaws. He's made me with my inadequacies. I'm not required to be perfect. I'm required to regard him as perfect. And how can I, if I was perfect, then I wouldn't be able to affirm his perfection. If the two beings of equal size, the one can't call the other one big. If the two beings of equal perfection, the one can't call the other one perfect. It is precisely my smallness that puts me in the position to affirm his greatness. It's precisely my imperfection that puts me in the position to affirm his perfection. Now I do not therefore say I have a license to misbehave or you have a license to misbehave. But you really don't need a threat of eternal damnation hanging over your head to behave well. I would have crazed the idea. Just like saying, I only steal because I know this policeman around. No, I refrain from stealing because I just don't want to steal. Who says that you need a threat of eternal damnation to walk the straight path, to walk a path in constant remembrance of your Rob? I think it's the opposite. I think if you walk around with a threat of constant damnation hanging over your head, you're living a life of fear. You're living a life which therefore means that whatever happens to you, you're going to see the worst possibility in it. You interpret the worst possibility in it. And because you interpret the worst possibility in it, everything that happens to you, you look back at it, it's going to be failure. It's going to be wrong. It's going to be bad. To give yourself all the reasons, to both distrust yourself, distrust your life and distrust your Rob. Have a good opinion of your Rob. Trust that all will be well. That would, however difficult things are in the moment that you're in. The future is good. We have come from him and we're going back to him. We're going back to bliss. We're going back to delight. We're going back to joy because that is his fundamental nature. Love. That is our predestination. It is those who don't go into that end up, they suffer because they suffer in illusion. They suffer an illusion of separation from the Rob. This is another angle on the thing that occurred to me last week, which is, we shouldn't have such a punitive take on our deed. It robs the Dean of its joy. The salar of a person who is trying to avoid fire. And the salar of a person who is deliberately dedicates their salar as a dance of joy in worship of the Rob. These are two different salar. The first one at best leaves you feeling temporarily relieved because you've paid your dues until the next one. The second one leaves you ecstatic. We don't have to suffer as much as we suffer. This message about the good news of the fact that Allah exists, that the Rob is real, that the Rob loves us, that the Rob has a good plan for us, that we can trust our existence, we can trust our Rob. This is a message we really need to take out to the world today. This is all human beings, the most human beings today. There's a deep hunger for solace, to be encouraged, to be given good news. It's fine. Your life works. It's good. A lot of grunt is news to him. He grunts us annihilation in him and he grunts us death before we die. In Allah, I pray to the Sahih of Allah, and I pray to you, and I pray to you, and I pray to you. (Arabic)
