The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The presenter : How are you, Shaykh Muhammad?
The Shaykh : I am well, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : I have three questions, may Allah bless you. The saying of the Exalted, Blessed and Exalted is He:[Fussilat 41:35] What is the intended meaning of the word “fortune” (hazm)? And does fortune play a role in entering Paradise?
The Shaykh : First, if you want to say it that way, say: “What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted?” Because the most noble of the names of Allah is Allah, and the most noble of the names.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. Did you understand? Yes.
The Shaykh : Good, repeat the question.
The questioner : I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.[Fussilat 41:35] What is the intended meaning of the word “fortune” (hazm)? And does fortune play a role in entering Paradise?
The Shaykh : Listen to the verse before it. Allah the Exalted said:[Fussilat 41:34], [Fussilat 41:35] And who compel themselves to patience. And who bear the hardship of patience. [Fussilat 41:35] meaning except one who has a great share. Of noble character and abundant reward.

The Shaykh : I am well, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : I have three questions, may Allah bless you. The saying of the Exalted, Blessed and Exalted is He:
But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].
وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍThe Shaykh : First, if you want to say it that way, say: “What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted?” Because the most noble of the names of Allah is Allah, and the most noble of the names.

The Shaykh : Good, repeat the question.
The questioner : I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.

And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.
وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌBut none is granted it except those who are patient
