1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,820
Living for Allah

2
00:00:01,820 --> 00:00:07,880
The heavens, the earth, and everything between them.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,060
The flawless universe in all its splendor and majesty.

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:16,060
Allah's existence and greatness can be seen everywhere,

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,360
from a tiny living creature to the vast galaxies in space.

6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:24,740
Those who see and comprehend this truth are sincere believers.

7
00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:27,460
They fear Allah and heed Him,

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,740
and organize their lives according to this great truth they have recognized.

9
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:36,480
Allah reveals the purpose of human creation in a verse of the Qur'an.

10
00:00:37,260 --> 00:00:39,540
We seek refuge in Allah from Satan.

11
00:00:41,260 --> 00:00:44,120
We seek refuge in Allah from Satan.

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,000
I only created jinn and man to worship me.

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,180
Muslims live according to the command of this verse.

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,300
Others are those who do not fear Allah and heed Him.

15
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:03,560
These people disregard by whom, how, and why their lives were begun.

16
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,340
In their own minds, they try to construct a new life,

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,680
in which there is no place for Allah or His religion.

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,180
In the Qur'an,

19
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:16,460
the fact that such a life rests on an empty and unsound foundation,

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,780
and is doomed to end in destruction,

21
00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:21,980
is explained through the following wise comparison.

22
00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:24,760
Who is better?

23
00:01:25,540 --> 00:01:29,340
Someone who founds his building on fear of Allah and His good pleasure?

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,880
Or someone who founds his building on the brink of a crumbling precipice,

25
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:37,140
so that it collapses with him into the fire of hell?

26
00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:40,380
Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.

27
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:43,460
For many people,

28
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:47,140
religion is a set of rules encompassing certain beliefs.

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,400
Religion and religious observance have no important place in these people's lives.

30
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,020
Muslims, however,

31
00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:58,620
regard religion as a path to follow in order to earn Allah's approval,

32
00:01:58,620 --> 00:01:59,700
and say,

33
00:01:59,980 --> 00:02:01,180
in the words of the Qur'an,

34
00:02:02,180 --> 00:02:04,900
My prayer and my rites,

35
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,100
my living and my dying,

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,920
are for Allah alone,

37
00:02:09,340 --> 00:02:11,340
the Lord of all the worlds.

38
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:28,640
Muslims,

39
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,380
Muslims,

40
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:32,000
Muslims,

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,320
Muslims,

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,360
Muslims,

43
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:33,980
Muslims,

44
00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:34,420
Muslims,

45
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:35,040
Muslims,

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,440
Muslims,

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,000
Muslims,

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,460
Muslims,

49
00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:39,080
Muslims,

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,340
Muslims,

51
00:02:39,340 --> 00:02:39,760
Muslims,

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,220
Muslims,

53
00:02:40,220 --> 00:02:41,320
Muslims.
