TOPIC - The power of Choice.
-------------------------------------------
-Sheikh Mouthasem AL Hameedi

"Life is all abou change .
And as they say change is a constant.
Change is the constant.
Because if you dont change by choice, shaitan will change you by force. Its a matter of decision. You either decide to changr favourably
And take control of your life
Which is your mission in this world, which is the reason you are created
Which is the reason Allah put everything at your service
Because you are the decision maker in this world.

The sun doesntdecide its course
The moon doesnt
Rain doesnt
The whole world doesnt
Vegetation doesnt
Plant,animals they dont dont decide anything about their lives.
They are just programmed to behave in a certain way and follow a certain course.

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE HAVE CHOICE !

The angels dont decide , they follow the instructions.

YOU HUMAN BEING AND THE JINN ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE GIVEN CHOICE.

And these are the only two sources where corruption comes about
Because they make the wrong decisions.
So one of the biggest gifts Allah has given us.
Allah has given each one of us
Is CHOICE, the ability to decide.
The ability to choose which route you take
The ability to choose what action to do
What step to make
The ability to relate to things, how to understand the world around you, how to understand yourself
How to understand the people around you
All of this is a matter of decision.
You are making decision at every single momemt of yourlife.
But most of us have gave up this gift.
And we let society choose for us.
We let our culture choose for us.
We let our teachers choose for us.
We let our parents choose for us.
We let the tv choose for us.
We let our politician choose for us.
We,let sometime ,our friends and peers choose for us .

But in the day of judgement, you will deal with the consequences of all those choices.whether you made them or others for you

You will face the consequence on the day of judgement..
You will stand before Allah alone!Alone!...
In some narration prophet Muhammad (s) said...
Even a mother ,on the day of judgement will come to her son and she would say
Oh my son i held you in my womb nine months. I looked aftr you. I breastfed you. And i stayed up all night just to look after you
I wasted my life and my years just for you to grow up and become independent. And you became independent and successful.

Now all what i want from you,
That's on the day of judgement.
My son ,
She tries to draw his heart
Nearby memtioning everuthing she did for him...
The she says ... oh my son in exchange of all this
All what i want i am askg for is one hasanah.
ONE GOOD DEED , ONE REWARD
Just give me one from your records

So i can be saved from hell fire.
Thats all i am asking you.

You know what ?
That son with all respect and love for his motger he says
I m paraphrasing by the way
The jasanah you are asking for
Im more in need than anyone else.

Some other time mom..some other time.

One day your soul will stand before Allah alone and you will be asked about every single decision .
The woman passing down the street that you looked at and you kept straight at will be brought to you live, you could see it.
The moment you were alome and did something wrong
And other haram things you did...and backbiting and so on....

Just before that moment you had the ability to make decision.
Either to engage in or give it up and leave it..
But you made the wrong decision. Amd it will come to you that moment. It will be placed and it will be manifested in front of your eyes.

When you are standing bfore Allah amd he will ask you about it.

The moment athan was called ,
You know its time for the prayer and you didnt pray.
Before you were engaged with something else.
Anything any of these worldly matters , it will be brought you and you will regret the decision you made.

When you listen to the whispers of Satan
When you listen to the advice..
And the social evidence of your friends..
Of your family... of your culture...
And you just flew with the tide...

That moment will be brought toyou will be asked about it and you will feel so much pain about it...

The first moment of pain you'll start to feel..is the moment the angeles come to you amd start dragging your soul out of your body...
Thats the moment Allah spoke about in the Quran so many times ...so many times.

Allah says..sural al mu'umin:99

The moment death comes to you one of them, he says ...
Oh my Lord send me back!

99-100

Oh my Lord send me back

So i may do something good before i depart again.

Just something good he know Allah is merciful..he know in the way that when Allah gives them the commad
They just go about doing it automatically .
They cant think of other choices.
Thats it
But Allah has honoured human beings. He has given us a trust you can choose.

The sun of the whole universe ,
In its maginificant cannot choose , cant make any decision.

You can choose !
You can choose and this is why everything is put at your service. You can control it.
To a certain extent..
And the most important thing is to control ..
Is that peice of flesh
That co trols travelling in your life . Thats the central point.

Thats the center of human being you control it. You can control everything in your life.
You can control your eyes...your hands and everything... DISCIPLINE YOUR HEART
everything will fall in place in your life...
