What is the rooh fed by? This is the question. The response: the rooh must be fed from substances that originate from its [own] origins, just like the body must be fed from substances that originated from where the body originated.
Where did the rooh originate form? Hence — how do we attain happiness? By feeding the rooh. How do we feed the rooh? By establishing a connection with Allah. How do we establish a connection with Allah? By doing what Allah wants us to do…. Fasting… praying… charity… thikr… every single act of worship that we do, it will feed the rooh; it makes the rooh grow stronger.
It will make the rooh become more alive, and when the rooh is alive , even if the body is week — subhan Allah, even if the body is dead — when the rooh is alive, it will enjoy blessings from Allah in the hereafter. Even when the body is dead , because the rooh is alive, it will be happy. The scholars of tafseer say: this verse applies to the one who was not worshipping Allah, and Allah called him dead. So the point is, this verse calls the person who does not worship Allah dead.
And in order to get that happiness, we need to establish a connection with Allah. The world does not become our ultimate goal. And when the world seizes to be our ultimate goal, then all of a sudden we are content with what we have.
So the point being, when we correct our inner state, our rooh, the outer state becomes truly irrelevant. No matter what we do with the jasad, the body, it will never be satisfied, it will always want more and more and more. But if we feed the rooh, then the body becomes content, and when it becomes content, then and only then is where we find ultimate happiness. Because, as I said initially, this is something that we experiences in our lives.
It is something that is a fact, that each and every one of us has tasted. How do you feel on a day that you woke up for Fajr and you prayed Fajr at its proper time? How do you feel for the rest of the day? I ask you this question: this feeling of joy, of happiness, of fulfillment — can you purchase the feeling by all the money in the world? By Allah, YOU know the answer: no, it cannot. Your goal, your ultimate destiny is to please Allah, and when it becomes to please Allah, you feel fulfilled.
Why do you feel fulfilled? Because this is why Allah created you:. When you do what Allah wants you to do, of course you will feel fulfilled. Of course!
Allah made you for this purpose. When you do it, you feel fulfilled because you are fulfilling your purpose of life! But when you neglect Allah — when you neglect Allah, when you neglect the religion, when you neglect the spirituality, what happens? Wallahi, you can eat, you can feed yourself, you can follow every passion in the book — it would increase you nothing by disgust, nothing but feeling bad, nothing but regret, nothing but remorse.
You can do each and every sin in the book, and yet at the end of all of that, you have not attained — forget happiness — you have attained ultimate sadness. And again, I ask you: when you commit a sin, that feeling that you get after committing that sin, that feeling of guilt, that feeling of distancing yourself from Allah, that you have done something that displeased Allah — can ALL the money in the WORLD get rid of that feeling?
Can ALL the money in the world get rid of that feeling that you have that YOU have gone against the purpose of creation?
Because I know it as well as you. You experience it, and I experience it, in our lives. The question, then, becomes: if we experience it, if we know it, if this is a reality we have tasted and felt, we have SMELT this reality, then why have we neglected it? You know it! Sins only increase your guilt, your feeling DISpleasure. Worshipping Allah only increases you in happiness. The goal is to fight against sins, to lower them, to minimize them. Commit sins. Repent to Allah.
Continue to establish [a] relationship with Allah. TRY your best to minimize the sins. Always attempt to become a better person. Establish the five prayers. Oh Muslims, what will make you understand the importance of the five prayers? Fast the month of Ramadan.

And yet here we are, we're sacrificing our sleep. We're Sacra we have limited time. We are this is the time we're supposed to rest and then eat and then before and after. Why are we here?
What are we giving up? We're giving up that which is precious to us our sleep. And in the daytime, we give up that which is even more precious to us, our food and our drink? Why can it how and that's why non Muslims are shocked even water, right? They just can't understand even water. They just it doesn't occur to them, that we have a sustenance and a pleasure that is one llahi more precious to us than cold water on a hot summer's day. The fact that we are doing this is.
That's why we commit sins. Why do we commit sins, we know that the pleasures of this dunya that are not allowed and hamdulillah By the way, we thank Allah listen to this carefully that every urge we have, Allah has allowed a halal way to satisfy it. We're allowed to have the best food and the most delectable drinks and every type of sensual pleasure. We can do it in a halal way.
But unfortunately shaytaan tempts us and he goes Oh, forget the cocktail juices go to the Haram stuff. Okay, there's plenty of. All of Jenna is open gulaman Hot Rod and he Toma but just one tree was made out on our scholars say this is the reality of life.
The default is everything is halal. But Haram is a small bit. The default is everything is halaal. So much out there. How long is a small bit for shaytaan comes seduces talks keeps on what's what's up until finally we fall into that small amount of how long thinking that that how long is more beneficial to us than all of the hell out there.
But you know what brothers and sisters even in satisfying our halaal desires, that is halaal that is. But there comes a point in our lives and the life of every single human being that they understand that there's more to life. Eating and drinking and sensual pleasures. And that's perhaps Allah who are them. One of the reasons why we see so much depression, and so much loneliness in the world around us right now that people are given all types of pleasures at a young age.
And at a very young age, they discover it's not good enough. I'm not happy, I have everything, but there's still an emptiness, perhaps we'll lower them that this modern technology with all of its, you know, contrivances and all of this entertainment, it has expedited the discovery in the younger generation. And perhaps that's why and Allah knows best. I'm just, you know, just saying theory.
Perhaps that is one of the reasons why. So panela brothers and sisters, it doesn't matter how old you are, even the teenagers in the audience, you know, you know, that satisfying your bodily desires, even in a halal manner only takes you so far, a hella satisfaction is good, but then it goes away.
You had the best meal that money could buy, that's halaal. Okay, how long are you going to enjoy the meal, okay, and what's gonna happen to the meal in 10 hours? Okay, good, how long once they leave you with something. So the bodily pleasures don't give us satisfaction in life. And that is because what really makes us human is not the physical flesh. Animals have physical flesh. What really makes us human is something that is divinely gifted to us.
And that is the rule. That is the soul that is what is inside of us. And that's why our father Adam was created out of clay and the body lay there for ages and ages and ages.
By guiding him to Islam, Allah gives him a light, a life. Spriritual life. He anyone who follows my guidance, he will not go astray nor will he taste grief and anguish.
If we don't taste the sweetness of imam in this life, we cannot taste the sweetness of imam in the Hereafter. Quran: 3iza honor, glory, power will always belong to Allah, and to His messenger, and to the believers. Every activity human beings do is aimed towards this goal. Some believe the accumulation of wealth or possession is the way to go.
Other segments of the society believe that having power will make them happy. Yet others believe that happiness achieved through fame and recognition. Others believe that happiness is achieved by satisfying every sensual desire and lust women, wine, drug, alcohol , The majority of mankind try to achieve happiness by a combination of these factors.
The highest suicide rate is found amongst the rich and the elite. Divorce, drug problems, are the same. They are far worse off than when they first started their journeys to come to the top.
They wake up just like the animals are. Animals wake up just to eat, drink and be merry. So how do you find happiness? What is the "call"? Qur'an, Islam, scholars have differed in opinions. What is sure is that each commandment from Allah is a means to achieve happiness.
