This lecture, the third in a series, begins with acknowledgments and answers to audience questions from previous sessions, including the role of Istighfar, reasons for eternal reward or punishment, and the concept of predestination. The speaker then discusses how actions mold the soul and create a physical reality in the afterlife, referencing Quranic verses and anecdotes to illustrate that individuals can devolve into beast-like forms based on their deeds. The lecture further explores the illusion of the material world, contrasting it with the real world and emphasizing that true pleasure lies in avoiding lust and embracing hardship in the cause of Islam. Materialism is identified as a major obstacle to perceiving the real world, with the love of Ali ibn Abi Talib presented as its antithesis, urging listeners to prioritize the hereafter over worldly possessions. The lecture concludes by encouraging listeners to alter their perceptions, live as if the veil has been lifted, and exercise patience in the face of worldly temptations, drawing parallels with the trials of the Ahlulbayt, particularly Zainab, in Kufa.
