And because I said that you shouldn't do that.

So first number 94 of Surat Al Ma'idah teaches this to us in a beautiful way.

Allah will test you with a little bit of the hunting animals that will be at close reach of

your hands and your spears, your arrows, close reach which means in the condition of Ahram

which is in the condition where you are fulfilling the pilgrimage or the Miner pilgrimage

you're not allowed to hunt animals. So Allah says at that time we're going to make these animals

come close or we will make it such that your hands can reach them or your spears or arrows can

reach them. In order to test you who from amongst you is conscious of Allah, fears Allah

in the unseen. No one's watching you besides Allah. Are you really going to because of your

connection with Allah abstain when there is a beautiful hunting animal, something you want

you want to eat or you want to consume, you want to hunt it and it's right there. And Allah says

don't do it. Are you going to go for it or you're going to go for what Allah said? That happens

and Allah says from an Ita dhabada dhali whoever crosses the limits after that for them is a

painful punishment. From that we see in life also Allah Almighty has prohibited many things

and sometimes when he wants to test us he allows those things to dangle in a way that

they're at close reach it's doable you can commit this sin no matter what it is drugs or

pornography or adultery or alcohol or gambling or whatever else it may be. Allah says well are you

going to stay away because of me or are you just going to jump into it because you can do it.

If you can do it and you just jump into it knowing that this is prohibited and defiance of Allah

that's very dangerous. That's very dangerous. So that was a beautiful point of benefit I thought I'd

share with you may Allah Almighty grant us goodness. I call you Kaulih Hathar.
