So when Allah told you that the reason he created you in Aljin is to worship him, Allah subhana wa ta'ala, he then told you, "Because you're engaged in my worship, and inna, because you're engaged in fulfilling that ultimate goal, I will take care of everything for you." What does he say? He says, "Allah says, first of all, I don't want risk from you. I don't need provision from you." Allah doesn't want you to feed him and provide for him. Allah is the one who provides. Allah is the one who gives.
So the one who is worshiping Allah, singling Allah in worship, my brothers and sisters, wall, Allah is going to take care of you. I, I, I don't want to digress and going to, but I need to say something. Please, please pay attention today to this particular benefit. This benefit is very strong.
The prophet said in a hadith, I find this powerful when you really ponder on it, because a lot of you already know this. Allah says, "If you guys were to rely on Allah the way that the bird..." [Music] "...if you relied on Allah the way that you rely, if you relied on Allah the way that the bird relies on Allah, then..." The prophet told, this is the statement of the prophet, "...the bird leaves on an empty stomach. It's on an empty stomach. It leaves and it comes with a full stomach and food for its children."
The bird is an animal that does not store anything. The bird is not known to store food for tomorrow or the day after. Not only that, the bird leaves its children in the wilderness. Snakes can come and kill those children. She puts them, of course, on a nest, and she, she ties her came home. Okay. But it's open for anybody to take her children, and it happens a lot. But she relies on Allah. It, it leaves with an empty stomach and no protection for its children. The prophet is saying, "If you do it like that, you come with the efforts and you rely on Allah, he will take care of you."
Now, you need to study how the bed works, then how much reliance that the bird has. Allah takes care of it. Allah will take care of you. Nine months in said, you were in the womb of your mother. You never worked. You didn't go work. Who is it that brought the risk to you in the womb of your mother? You were fed. You were taken care of. You know what he said? He took care of you without you exerting any effort. Would he then forsake you now that you've exerted the effort and you've come with righteous deeds and you've worshiped him alone and you've singled him in worship?
That's why, brothers, the prophet said this, he summarized it. You know what he said? "Anyone who makes the his ultimate goal..." Pay attention to this. "...and he was meant to make the worshiing of Allah and strengthen his bond with Allah the ultimate goal. That's why he should have strengthened every day, work on that, get to that strong, stronger, stronger bond with his creator." The person doesn't do that. What does he do? He does the opposite. He makes the dy the ultimate goal.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, what did he say? [Music] "Disperses his affairs. Nothing is all together. Everything's all over the place for him. He's confused. He's like, 'Where's my shoes? Where's I don't know where.' He's confused. Allah makes poverty in front of his eyes. He's always feeling like I don't have enough. I'm struggling in life. I'm..."
The next one. What about the other one? The other one is the one who makes the, you see, means the one who makes the worship of Allah his ultimate goal. He fulfills this. He fulfills this. He can, he strengthens every day. He's working on this one. Listen to this, my brothers and sisters. The prophet, he said, [Music] "The will come to you." I'm begging you, please. Hadith is saying this is not my words. "The will come to you begging you. It wants you. Please." So anyone who tells you, "I'm going to bring you the, I'm going to bring you money, I'm going to bring you the glitters and the glamours of this world," to say, "Listen, the only way I know it will come is as the prophet said, richness is not the what's in the hand, it's the inside. And this one is given to you from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala."
