0:04.1

Those who believe and follow their hearts, they will remember God, or God, or the hearts of God.

0:18.1

Peace be upon you, and mercy of Allah and his blessings.

0:21.1

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful, the Peace of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful.

0:25.1

And on his feet and his companions, we praise Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, my brothers and sisters, who has instructed us to be just.

0:33.1

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has indeed instructed us to be just.

0:37.1

If you are just, you will achieve contentment. You will be happy.

0:41.1

When you are a person who is unjust and you engage in injustice, you can never achieve true contentment.

0:49.1

This is why every Friday we hear of verse, it is verse number 90 of Surat-um-Nahl.

0:55.1

Inna Allah ya murubil adali wa l-i-ahsani wa ita ithin al-kurba wa yanhaa anil fa-shahi wa l-mukari wa l-balbi.

1:08.1

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says, indeed Allah instructs you to be just, to be kind and to be good.

1:17.1

So there is al-Adaal wa l-Ihsan, there is justice, there is kindness and goodness, and there is ita ithil-kurba.

Allah asks you to give your relatives, to reach out to them. How can you be a wealthy person and they are struggling and they are so closely related to you?

1:35.1

How can you be a person who has everything and your own relatives don't? Allah made them related to you to ask you about what you did towards them.

1:44.1

These three things are repeated every Friday in almost all the must-gits. So we hear it. Allah is telling you to be just, be kind, be good, and reach out to your family members.

1:55.1

Do you do that Subhanallah? And then we complain, why is it that we are not content? We are not prepared to solve problems with our family members.

2:02.1

Yet solving problems with family members will earn us, gennettul ferdaus. Then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says, wa yanhaa Allah prohibits you from the following. Al-Fa-shahi immorality.

2:14.1

Al-Fa-shahi al-Munqar, that which is bad and evil and al-Bari, that which is sinful and transgression. So Allah prohibits that. Stay away from that, you achieve contentment.

2:24.1

If you have immoral behaviour, your words are immoral, you have no values when it comes to living your life, you will not be content. You've let yourself loose.

2:34.1

No, hold high values, high morals, high standards, you will be content. Yes, it is discipline, it requires an effort.

2:42.1

But long term contentment and even short term contentment, more than anything else in the ahrah, in the hereafter, you will achieve a lot of that contentment.
