(Preferring the self that commands evil, the world over the Hereafter) Leave what you heard people say and take *** what you have seen with your own eyes, and by Allah, if you sat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Leave what you heard people say and take *** what you have seen with your own eyes
Leave what you heard people say *** "
What does he mean by it?
The student: The Fire and Paradise
The Shaykh : The Fire and Paradise ... and take what you have witnessed now
"And by Allah, if you sat with your soul in seclusion *** and searched it thoroughly without evasion
You would see this lurking within it, and if *** you were to trust it, it would cast it toward the ears "
Meaning, if you were to be alone with yourself and strip away the Shari'ah and the evidence of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, you would see that what is lurking in your soul is this: that you prefer what? The world over the Hereafter, and that you remain in doubt about the Hereafter. The reference is to the self that commands evil, whereas the self in the mind, possessing intellect and faith, does not say this.
"This is the secret for which it *** chose over it the lowly, immediate "
We have reached it
The student: One verse remains
The Shaykh : Very well.
"This is the secret for which it *** chose over it the lowly, immediate
A currency for which its need has grown intense *** from it, and it did not obtain it cheaply "
Meaning, it did not obtain it by something easy; rather, it attained it with difficulty, so it preferred it over the Hereafter.
Yes, do you sell
