📝 #Lesson | Choosing Between Light and Darkness
🔹Inside the mother's womb, the fetus exists in complete darkness. If you were to out your hand on their eyes and ask what it is, they would say:
You explain to them:
They laugh at you and say,
Their contentment lies in holding onto the umbilical cord - their lifeline. However, that cord must eventually get cut off, so they can be fed through a new way. This example signifies the continuation of the journey towards Allah. After death, the means of sustenance will evolve. your feeding path will change.
🔸Exactly, if you have too much attachment to that umbilical cord, it will kill you as you approach your birth. Some get suffocated with the umbilical cord. Some people get strangled or ensnared by their worldly attachment in life, but they don't realize it. Existence of Light is necessary in such cases.
🔹But now imagine someone who hasn't forgotten his fetus times, and remembers the environment of the mother's womb well, and even after venturing out and seeing the light, enjoying the freedom of movement, running, hearing, yet he prefers to return into the mother's womb and chooses the darkness. Such a person's situation is horrifying. They actually love the darkness.

🔹Inside the mother's womb, the fetus exists in complete darkness. If you were to out your hand on their eyes and ask what it is, they would say:
"I don't know."
You explain to them:
"These are eyes, meant for seeing. You are going to see the world with them, in your next life outside the womb."
They laugh at you and say,
"Leave it. No one has ever returned from there. I only need to grasp onto the umbilical cord, that's all I need. That's my everything."
Their contentment lies in holding onto the umbilical cord - their lifeline. However, that cord must eventually get cut off, so they can be fed through a new way. This example signifies the continuation of the journey towards Allah. After death, the means of sustenance will evolve. your feeding path will change.

📝 #Lesson | Neither rush ahead of the Imam nor fall behind Him.
🔹There are some people who rush ahead of the Leader of the community. For example, they address the Imam saying,
The Prophet promised that they will en going to Hajj; when they were about to go, the polytheists interrupted and a dispute arose which led to the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
🔸In a particular incident, the Prophet declared:
The second Caliph, in a state of protest, challenged him and said:
The Prophet calmly replied:
Unconvinced, Omar persisted:
And in the end, he said,
He took up the sword and headed towards to make a conflict; in return, the polytheists attacked back.
🔹The Messenger of Allah (s) told Imam Ali (a):
When the polytheists saw Imam Ali (PBUH), they got scared and turned back. The issue was always made by those who were over heated and those who were so chill. That is why in the Ziarat al-Jamia we are taught:

🔹There are some people who rush ahead of the Leader of the community. For example, they address the Imam saying,
"No sir, you should do this!"
The Prophet promised that they will en going to Hajj; when they were about to go, the polytheists interrupted and a dispute arose which led to the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
🔸In a particular incident, the Prophet declared:
"We will go for Hajj next year."
The second Caliph, in a state of protest, challenged him and said:
"You promised we would go for Hajj. What happened?"
The Prophet calmly replied:
"We will go next year."
Unconvinced, Omar persisted:
"No, we must go for Hajj this year! What kind of negotiation was this? What agreement did you make?"
And in the end, he said,
"I will fight against them."
He took up the sword and headed towards to make a conflict; in return, the polytheists attacked back.
🔹The Messenger of Allah (s) told Imam Ali (a):
"Go and prevent him from starting a war."
When the polytheists saw Imam Ali (PBUH), they got scared and turned back. The issue was always made by those who were over heated and those who were so chill. That is why in the Ziarat al-Jamia we are taught:
"Do not go ahead of the Imam, and do not lag behind."

📝 #Lesson | Technique for Overcoming Envy (Jealousy)
🔹There are some undesirable qualities within us that are difficult to eliminate. But each time we emerge victorious over them, the next victory becomes easier for us. We learn to confront our ego. Envy can affect both you and me. All of us possess a certain level of envy. Envy is a very frightening quality! Satan was envious; Shimr was envious; those who stood in front of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) were envious.
🔸Sometime you envy someone insignificant like me, and that doesn't matter much, ultimately a calamity may befall you. But there may be a time when you envy someone dear and loved by God,. That could have dire consequences! May God show mercy upon you! It is as if you are a negative number, manipulated into the positive number of that person. For example, if you envy someone whose rate is 10, your rate become -10. There may be a time when you envy Imam Hussain (PBUH), you become negative Imam Hussain; you become Shimr!
🔹Now we want to combat this envy. How to eliminate it? To combat envy, we must show respect to the person we envy. By doing so, we feel discomfort and burn from inside, but our Ego gets trained and fixed. After some time, that quality will be like a wet clay that is loose and can be washed away. Ultimately, you reach a point where you see that the envy in you has almost disappeared entirely.
