 Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, just met my dear friend, Tamur, from California. He teaches… he's a software engineer, worked for Verizon all his life, senior professional, also teaches Arabic grammar. I've been here in Basin-Zabu Sharif, and so on and so on, he said something wonderful. He said that, trillions of people who live in this world, the time Allah created this world, trillions of people, and out of all those trillions, Allah honored one. And that one is here, in these beautiful mercies. Muhammad Rasool Allah. SubhanAllah. And I said to him, I said, look, this is honor. Because for the last 1500 years, and it so happens that this is the 1500th year of, from the beginning of the revelation, 2025. He said, for 1500 years, people are coming here. Look at these people here. They're coming here. All of these people, thousands upon thousands of them, not one is related to him, not one knows him, not one has seen him, but they all love him. Now this is honor. This is honor in a lifetime. And this honor comes for one reason only, and that is, that the person lives his life for one reason only. That reason is to please Allah . And that is, that the person lives his life for one reason only. This is the lesson we learn from Rasool Allah life. To simplify our lives. People say, declutter your life, declutter your mind, simplify your life. You know what's the best decluttering? The best simplification is to understand that there is only one thing to do in life. And that is? To make pleasing Allah your only goal. No other goal. Have only one goal. And that goal is to please Allah . Just one goal. To please Allah . And if you have this one goal, everything else falls into place. Allah provides us. We get stuck with rizq. We get stuck with, you know, how's my job and I'm making so much money and I have, my needs are expanding and I need to make more money and what will happen to me and this and that and the other. None of that matters. Because Allah promised. If He created you, He will fulfill your needs. And if you don't, then you will be in a state of ! not created the jinn and the insan for anything other than my worship. Allah did not create us to run around behind food and this and that and shelter. Allah created us to worship you. All the rest will come. We make reasonable effort. I'm not saying don't do anything. But do something. the Torah decrees it. It is happening because Allah decreed. If you got sustenance based on the amount of effort you make, then the head-loading coolie, the illiterate neighbor who was carrying stones and bricks on his head at a construction site would be the highest paid person in the land. If you got sustenance based on your education, the president of a university probably would be the highest paid person in the land. And I can go on endlessly with this. You will find that that's not the case. That is not the case. Yes, you effort, you make some effort, but Allah gives. Allah said that He gives and all the people need to take sustenance but most people don't understand. Let's just say, it is my Lord, my Lord, who expands your sustenance or constrains it but most people don't understand. Let us be among the people who do understand. Because we have been told this. What is there not to understand? Because we have been informed. We have been informed in the best possible way, which is by the Kalam of Allah SWT himself. How do we know this? Because Allah said so. Let us look to that. And let us make that our creed in life. That I will work to please Allah. That everything I do, there is only one question I need to answer. Does it please Allah? Because if you do the thing for the right reason, believe me, everything else follows. Do it for the right reason and everything else follows. That is the whole thing. Make sure the right reason, the reason is right. The rightest of right reasons is to please Allah SWT. We ask Allah SWT to be pleased with us and never to be distressed. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
