What if the thing you are most proud of ends up costing you the most? The poet's voice turns personal here. Almost uncomfortably so. A name is called, not shouted, but called with expectation. As if the listener should already know better. As if the invitation had been made before, and quietly ignored. In Episode 4 of the Ta'iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble opens verses that challenge how we think about fortune and intelligence. Not in abstract terms, but in how we choose what deserves our time, our effort, and our attention. A stark comparison sits beneath the words. A life measured in decades, set against a standing that stretches beyond imagination. Suddenly, the question isn't what you've gained, but whether you've used your mind well enough to recognise what truly benefits you. There's a tension running through this lesson. Between time and value. Between effort and return. Between drifting through the Dunya and responding to a call that asks more of you than comfort ever will. You'll find yourself rethinking words you use lightly. Fortune. Gain. Success. Even intelligence. Are they really what you thought, or have they been shaped by a much shorter horizon?
