1. 0:00For me, what is promised is more
2. 0:02certain than what is present. The
3. 0:05respected Abdullah says, "I asked for
4. 0:07the glad tiding." And I set a time for
5. 0:12it to be yesterday. I was certain, yet
6. 0:16it did not come. Why shouldn't I say
7. 0:19that my Lord does not answer? But why?
8. 0:22Yes, but why didn't it come? Is this a
9. 0:24test? Look, first, your statement about
10. 0:27why God does not answer. Yes, it is
11. 0:29possible that the Lord of the Worlds
12. 0:31does not answer. I mean, God might not
13. 0:36answer, but only to those who fail—
14. 0:38those who fail in trust, fail in peace
15. 0:41of mind, fail in the feeling of His
16. 0:43companionship, or fail in their
17. 0:45knowledge of their Lord. Nerve-wracking
18. 0:51tension, hidden anxiety, confusion, and
19. 0:54negative waiting—brother Abdullah, it
20. 0:56is a state of certainty. It is a state
21. 1:02where a person reaches a point where
22. 1:04they see themselves as the happiest
23. 1:05person. They see themselves as one of
24. 1:12the luckiest people in this world; they
25. 1:14see no one happier or more fortunate
26. 1:16than them because they are living in
27. 1:18the moment. This, my dear, is what we
28. 1:25call the difference: inner joy in God,
29. 1:27away from anything else, because I have
30. 1:29discovered something beautiful. You
31. 1:36know, someone might say, "I entered
32. 1:38university to get a degree," but then,
33. 1:40after the first semester or two,
34. 1:42university itself becomes something
35. 1:44beautiful. So, they are enjoying their
36. 1:49moment. You are enjoying your unique
37. 1:53relationship with God Almighty—that
38. 1:55is the point. And this unique
39. 2:03relationship with God that you enjoy
40. 2:05makes you also enjoy the moment in
41. 2:07which the blessing that God gave you
42. 2:09exists. We are full of blessings; our
43. 2:16homes, our cars, our food, our drink,
44. 2:19our health, our well-being—I am not a
45. 2:22prisoner, nor am I in a hospital, nor
46. 2:24...I am now in my home, happy, eating
47. 2:27and drinking. I do not have a serious
48. 2:31illness, nor this, nor that. So I am
49. 2:34happy, my happiness is in my moment.
50. 2:37Meaning, the first level of gratitude
51. 2:39is to enjoy happiness, to enjoy the
52. 2:41blessing in your hands. Your enjoyment
53. 2:46of the blessing in your hands is the
54. 2:48path to thanking your Lord. This is the
55. 2:52second joy. The third joy is the true,
56. 2:56the real joy in what God has promised
57. 2:58you. That I am happy because God
58. 3:03promised me, promised me something. For
59. 3:07me, what is promised is more certain
60. 3:09than what is present. What is promised
61. 3:12is more certain than what is present.
62. 3:14They asked, "How?" He said, "The
63. 3:18present is a matter of reliance on
64. 3:20things with me." For example, this cup
65. 3:24of coffee, praise be to God, it is with
66. 3:26me. This is present. This is more
67. 3:29certain to me. But what is promised is
68. 3:31with God, and what is in God's hand is
69. 3:34more certain than what is in mine. What
70. 3:39is in God's hand, what God promised me
71. 3:41—my belief in it is more certain than
72. 3:43what is in my hand. For God does not
73. 3:46break His promise. But this cup I am
74. 3:48holding could break, and it could be
75. 3:50lost. For example, if it were full of,
76. 3:54let's say, gold. It could fall and
77. 3:57someone could steal it from me. But
78. 4:00what was with God, deposited with God,
79. 4:02God Almighty does not lose it. On this
80. 4:08basis, one who works—works on these
81. 4:11three types of joy. He works on them,
82. 4:17and it is certain that, first, the idea
83. 4:19of nervous tension will not exist. The
84. 4:24idea of negative waiting will not exist
85. 4:26. The idea of anticipation—that I am
86. 4:29anxiously waiting—will not exist.
87. 4:32Exactly. So, in such a state, when he
88. 4:35raises his hands and asks. He no longer
89. 4:38has the thought, "Oh, let me see, did
90. 4:40it come tomorrow or did it not come?" I
91. 4:42want to challenge myself. No, no, no,
92. 4:44it's fine. It's fine, I'm moving on
93. 4:46with my life. Things are going great.
94. 4:48Everything is fine, and I'm pushing
95. 4:49forward. I go out and visit my
96. 4:51relatives. I enjoy what God has
97. 4:53bestowed upon me. In this case, let's
98. 4:56assume, brother Abdullah, that you’ve
99. 4:58done everything I mentioned. You might
100. 5:01say, "Doctor, everything you mentioned
101. 5:03has just become information to me.""
102. 5:09I’ve applied it all, Doctor.""And
103. 5:11praise be to God, everything is perfect
104. 5:13." I would tell you, that's right. Now
105. 5:17comes the turn: when you faced setbacks
106. 5:19. Like, for example, a delay. A delay,
107. 5:23a delay happened. Trials, call them
108. 5:25stumbling blocks. Fine. When these
109. 5:29stumbling blocks happened, what was the
110. 5:31state of my heart? The heart has two
111. 5:35states. We shouldn't pretend that we
112. 5:38don't get affected; that’s not true.
113. 5:40We must get affected. But immediately
114. 5:43after being affected, fine. I turn
115. 5:47toward God. Because I have already
116. 5:49achieved two types of happiness.
117. 5:51Actually, two types of happiness. My
118. 5:53happiness with God Almighty. This is a
119. 5:56discovery; I discovered that even my
120. 5:58prayer used to be wrong. Not wrong, but
121. 6:02my prayer didn't have the joy I now
122. 6:04feel. My fasting wasn't with the joy I
123. 6:07now feel. My night prayers weren't with
124. 6:09the joy I now feel. So, I am happy
125. 6:11anyway. And I am happy with the moment
126. 6:13I am in. Because I have my car. I have
127. 6:15my home. I have everything right now.
128. 6:18What is competing with my happiness for
129. 6:20the promised reward now? What is
130. 6:23competing with it are those setbacks.
131. 6:28So if these setbacks and delays were a
132. 6:30reason for me to turn to God. The goal
133. 6:35here is the turning of the soul toward
134. 6:36God. Because I have no one but Him.
135. 6:38Then you have succeeded in the test.
136. 6:40Immediately, thank God, it's over. God
137. 6:43Almighty knows. He sees that you passed
138. 6:47the test. That’s it. If there is a
139. 6:49regression, "I’m tired, and I’m
140. 6:54this, and I’m that..." We tell this
141. 6:56person, "You have lost." Be careful.
142. 7:01And we tell him something strange and
143. 7:03amazing, too. We tell him, and memorize
144. 7:07this from me if you want to benefit
145. 7:08from it. By God, no one regresses
146. 7:12during setbacks except due to a flaw in
147. 7:15their foundational certainty.
148. 7:20Understand this. Meaning, no one
149. 7:22relapses during setbacks unless they
150. 7:24hadn't properly established their
151. 7:26certainty. They didn't have it; it
152. 7:29wasn't set right. Because when the
153. 7:31setbacks came, they were exposed.
154. 7:33Because setbacks existed in the life of
155. 7:34the Prophet. And in the lives of the
156. 7:36Companions, may God be pleased with
157. 7:37them. So why didn't that happen to them
158. 7:39? Why didn't they become like me,
159. 7:41crying and all that? Why should I put
160. 7:44myself in the category of: "And when
161. 7:46the hypocrites and those in whose
162. 7:48hearts is disease said, 'Allah and His
163. 7:50Messenger did not promise us except
164. 7:51delusion'"? They had a flaw because
165. 7:53they weren't working correctly. The
166. 7:55Companions, may God be pleased with
167. 7:56them, were working correctly. And when
168. 7:58the believers saw the confederates,
169. 7:59they said, "This is what Allah and His
170. 8:00Messenger had promised us, and Allah
171. 8:02and His Messenger spoke the truth." And
172. 8:03it increased them only in faith and
173. 8:05submission. I hope you understand that.
174. 8:07I think you will be happy with this.
175. 8:09And you will reshape your whole
176. 8:11situation with it, my dear sir. May God
177. 8:13be pleased with you.
