Q & A

Why is belief important according to the speaker?

Belief is important because it is through faith that one can receive five special privileges from Allah as promised in the Qur'an. Those who have faith are the only ones guaranteed these blessings.

What is the first privilege of belief mentioned in the script?

The first privilege of belief is inner peace or 'Sakinah,' which Allah promises to give to those who are truly faithful. This peace is guaranteed to enter the hearts of believers as mentioned in Surah 48, verse 4.

How does marriage relate to achieving inner peace (Sakinah)?

Marriage can be a means to attain Sakinah because, as described in Surah 30, verse 21, the bond between husband and wife is a source of tranquility and comfort, which is one of the purposes of marriage.

What happens if someone experiences anxiety in their marriage despite claiming to have faith?

If someone experiences anxiety in their marriage but claims to have faith, it is a sign that their faith has not yet reached their heart or soul. True belief brings inner peace, which should reflect in the tranquility of one's home.

What is the second privilege mentioned for the believers?

The second privilege for the believers is a sense of calm and contentment in their lives, even if they are living in difficult or confined circumstances. This is exemplified in the story of Ashabul Kahfi (The People of the Cave).

Who were the Ashabul Kahfi, and why are they significant in this context?

Ashabul Kahfi refers to a group of young believers who took refuge in a cave to escape persecution. Despite the harsh conditions and limited space, they lived comfortably for many years, illustrating that strong faith can bring peace even in the most challenging situations.

What is the difference between a 'Hira' and a 'Kahfi' in the context of the cave?

A 'Hira' is a small, narrow cave that can only fit one or two people, while a 'Kahfi' is a larger cave that can accommodate several people. The term 'Kahfi' is used in Surah Al-Kahfi to describe the cave where the young believers took refuge.

What is the lesson from the story of the Ashabul Kahfi about faith?

The lesson is that when faith is deeply rooted in the soul, even in the simplest or most restricted environments, one can experience peace and comfort. It highlights that faith transcends material conditions and creates tranquility in the heart.

Why is it important for faith to reach the soul rather than just being verbal?

Faith must reach the soul because true inner peace and contentment come from a deep, heartfelt belief in Allah. If faith only resides in words and not in the heart, it cannot bring the promised tranquility and other blessings.

What does the speaker say about choosing between wealth and peace?

The speaker emphasizes that if one must choose between wealth but with anxiety or poverty but with peace, the better choice would be peace. This highlights the importance of inner tranquility, which comes from strong faith, over material wealth.
