The importance of serving Christ's sub hungry for the sake of others is discussed in a series of covers and talks. The book of the beast highlights the importance of the printing of the mercy of Christ's sub hungry for the sake of others, as well as the need to set up scaling on the day of resurrection and not overestimating the creator's power. The speakers emphasize the importance of finding a mixture of spiritual experiences and finding a way to find comfort in the cycle of the prophets and people around them. The use of the miracle of Islam is also discussed, and the importance of finding a way to overcome acceptance and tolerance for knowing the future is emphasized.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			The only circumstance that really matters here is
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			their
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			is their servitude.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			And a lot of times we say, well,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			if you want a child, read the story
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			of Zakariyah, and if you are impatient, then
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			read the story of Ayyub. But Allah says,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			what a beautiful servant of Allah he is,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			And this is a reminder for the servants
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Those who want
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			to be
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			the in that state of devoted servitude to
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			You know some people may not be afraid
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			of committing crimes on this earth, but when
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			they do something wrong on this earth, with
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			the Muslim particularly,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			they're existential. They believe that there is something
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			beyond the physical. That the Allah,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			there is someone that will hold us accountable,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			and He is our creator. He is our
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			maker,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			Which serves as a motivation
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			and also a reminder that there will be
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			a day that I will have to answer
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			to my needs. Think about all the different
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			ways, of course, that Allah could saved Ibrahim
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			alaihi salaam from the fire. Right?
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			It could've started
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			pouring rain and put out the fire. Allah
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			could've sent the wind to carry Ibrahim
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			to safety. A giant bird could've swooped down,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			grabbed Ibrahim alaihi salam, and carried him to
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			safety. But Allah
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			showed here that Allah changed the very course
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:13
			of nature.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			He intervened directly
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			and changed the nature of the fire.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			Welcome back to Quran 3030.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			The question from yesterday's juz, how many times
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			is the name Ar Rahman
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			mentioned in Surah Mariam? So go ahead and
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			answer below And,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			of course, a reminder
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			to please support Yaqeen this month. Please also
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			download the Quran 30 for 30 book and
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			follow along
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			with all the chapters that we are doing,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			and we are blessed today to, of course,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			have Sheikh Abdul Adoor as always. Sheikh Abdul
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			Nasr Jangda. How's it going, man? Very good.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			So
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			we're really blessed here in Dallas, alhamdulillah. Amazing.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			Yakeem
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			is just a few minutes down the street
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			from Qalam. Absolutely. Alhamdulillah. But I mean, I
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			think it's part of the beauty of our
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			collaborations here in this area.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Your people always come here, our people always
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			go there. Hamdulillah. We're all one people obviously.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			Hamdulillah. I mean, our masajs are close by
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			and Qalam has become a significant presence here
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			in Dallas, alhamdulillah, and obviously
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			not just for the community here, but, masha'Allah,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			lots of great students. Masha'Allah. Great teachers, obviously.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			Masha'Allah. Shaykh, how's how's Qalam going? It's going
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			good, alhamdulillah.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			It's it's busy. It keeps us busy, but
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			it's it's a good busy.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			What made you choose to really you slowed
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			down your travel quite a bit I did.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			Over the last few years. I did. What
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			made you choose to focus on this?
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			It's 2 things, because I get asked that
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			question a lot. It's 2 things. Number 1
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			is
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			I think,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			everyone has kind of an inclination,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			something that they gravitate
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			towards.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			So everyone gravitates towards something different.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			Education was something that always really motivated me.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			Kind of like, systematic,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			long form, in the class room education was
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			what motivated me. And number 2, it was
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			a wasi of my sheikh.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			Bless
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			you, and have mercy on your sheikh. Amen.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			Accept all the great work that y'all are
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			doing.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			So please check out their work,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			And with that, we are in the, 17th
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			juz,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			And I am going to be speaking about
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			this beautiful dua from Ayyub, alayhis salam, but
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			really connecting it to the previous juz, which
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			has been, of course, the beauty
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			of this entire season. Yes, sir. When Allah
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			mentions in verse 84 of Surat Al Anbiya,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			the dua of Ayyub alaihi salaam,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			verse 83 actually, Ayyub,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			alayhi salaam, when the prophet Job cried out
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			to his lord
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			and said, I have been touched with adversity,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			and you are the most merciful of those
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			who show mercy. And Allah mentions in the
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			next verse,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			that we answered his prayer and we removed
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			his adversity, and then we'll continue with the
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			rest of the ayah shortly, bidna Nahi Ta'ala.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			But of course, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentions
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			in Surat Al Anam that if Allah subhanahu
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:12
			wa ta'ala
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			If Allah touches you with adversity,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			then no one can remove that adversity from
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			you except for him. And you'll see the
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			words here being used that Ayub alayhi salaam
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			says, I've been touched by adversity
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			and you are the most merciful of those
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			who have mercy, And Allah
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			says and we removed. SubhanAllah. As if this
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			is a practical example of exactly what he
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			told us would happen
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			with his servants. Now the beautiful thing about
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			Ayub, alayhis salaam, is that he manifests, of
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			course, the most beautiful example of patience when
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			you are struck by adversity.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			And, of course, we always note that he
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			doesn't blame Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for the
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			duh, for the harm. He only attributes the
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			mercy to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and he
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			says that I've been struck with
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			adversity. But here's what I want you to
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			pay attention to inshallah, and, of course,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			these duas are loaded with so much to
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			reflect on. I just want to reflect on
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			one element.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			In jus 16,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			Allah mentions Zakaria alayhi sallam
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			and Zakaria calling out to his lord
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			Make mention in the book of the mercy
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			of your lord to his servant, Zakaria
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			when he called out to his lord in
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			that beautiful private prayer.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			Almost every word that is used to describe
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			the dua of Zakariyahaiyahsalam
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			is used to describe the dua of Ayu
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:41
			alaiyahsalam,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			and it's one juz apart. And it's it's
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			amazing because
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			in both situations, there is an immediate blessing
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			that manifests itself in a miraculous way,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			but they have very different circumstances.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			Right? Zakariyah
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			alaihis salaam is calling out to Allah subhanahu
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			wa ta'ala
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			with hope and never disappointed. Right? And saying,
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			yeah, Allah, you've never disappointed me before, and
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			he's appealing to Allah's mercy for a child
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			and he's never had a child before. So
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			Zakaria, alayhis salam, when he calls out to
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			his lord, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			praises his Ubudiyyah,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			praises his servitude. What a beautiful.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			What a beautiful manifestation of
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			of servitude to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			he shows.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			And here is the mention of
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			the mercy of your lord upon Zakariyah alayhis
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			salaam. And in the case of Ayub alayhis
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:33
			salaam,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			Ayub is calling out to Allah after a
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			long period, almost 2 decades
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			of and the prophet salaihi wa sama mentioned
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			in one narration, 18 years of bala, 18
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			years of trial and tribulation,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			and calls out to Allah in this humble,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			beautiful way, and Allah
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			immediately manifests his mercy towards him,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			alayhis salaam.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			Now here's the thing. They both appealed to
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			the same thing. And so it's really interesting
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			because if you read the words, you wouldn't
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			actually know what circumstances they were in
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			because the only circumstance that really matters here
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			is their uwudia, is their servitude.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			And a lot of times we say, well,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			if you want a child, read the story
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			of Zakaria, and if you are impatient, then
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			read the story of Ayyub. But Allah says,
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			what a beautiful servant of Allah he is,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			and this is a reminder for the servants
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			of Allah subhanahu wa'ala, those who want to
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			be
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			the in that state of devoted servitude to
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And so the lesson
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:32
			here
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			is that no matter what your circumstance is,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			you should turn to Allah in the exact
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			same way and appeal to the exact same
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			thing which is his Rahma.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			And, of course, in this situation just look
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			at the words. Right?
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			The a mention
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			of the mercy of your lord to his
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			slave and in the situation of Ayub alaihi
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			salaam, it's the exact same thing. And the
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			last thing that I'll say here, of course,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions this
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			is a mention of the mercy of your
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			lord,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			which shows you that it's not the Lord
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			of Zechariah alone or the Lord of Ayub
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			alone. You're calling upon the same Rab, the
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			same Lord, who removes and who gives even
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			in the most impossible of circumstances
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			out of his mercy and manifest his mercy
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			in the most fitting way. May Allah, subhanahu
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			wa ta'ala, make us from his devoted servants
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			in every situation. Allahumma ameen.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:29
			That
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:31
			was beautiful.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			So remembering the mercy and justice of Allah
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			and also how Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			able to do all things.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			From all things, we always have to remember
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			to maintain our iman and the strength of
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			it. To establish initially and to maintain it
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			is the belief in the unseen, that there
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			are certain things that Allah
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			will not disclose to us. And also there
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			are things that Allah will disclose to us
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			of things that are going to happen in
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			the future.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			So from that particularly is the day of
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			resurrection, the day of judgment, what Allah Subhanahu
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			Wa Ta'ala calls yawmuktiyama. Now there will be
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			a series of things that takes place.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			What's so interesting, if you sit back and
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			think about it, Allah is actually telling you
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			what's going to happen in the future. The
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, gets descriptive.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			I want to cover one verse where Allah,
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, says in chapter number 21
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			verse 47,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			when he talks about the day when things
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			will be weighed, particularly
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			the deeds of the slave
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			and also
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			their their actions and also, subhanAllah, we will
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			cover even the prophet, salaw al salawalam, comparing
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			a body part to showing that it will
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			be heavy on the scales. Allah, subhanahu wa
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			ta'ala, says,
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			hasibeen.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says beautifully here, beautifully,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			as every verse is beautiful.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			Allah says, we shall set up just scales
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			on the day of resurrection. This is the
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			first part of the ayah.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			So
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			we will place the mawazin, the scales.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			And
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			is here is the
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			the the adjective
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:20
			describing
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			the scales that they will be just.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			Is justice.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			So when he puts these scales down, they
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			will be just. Meaning that whatever he weighs
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			from your good deeds. Oh,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			as Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			If it's an Adam's weight, as we know
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			in another chapter in the Quran, that it
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			will be weighed, nothing will surpass Allah. Allah
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			is not unaware
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			of anything that happens within His dominion,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			within His creation.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			So He says here, We will place the
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			scales
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			on the day of resurrection.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			This is to establish that there will be
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			a day of judgment
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			which shows that the human being, the Muslim
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:01
			particularly,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			should know that there is
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			a a day of accountability,
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			a day that you will stand in front
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			of your Lord. You know, some people may
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			not be afraid of committing crimes on this
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			earth, but when they do something wrong on
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			this earth, with the Muslim particularly,
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			they're existential. They believe that there's something beyond
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			the physical. That the Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			there is someone that will hold us accountable,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			and He is our creator. He is our
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:27
			maker,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			Which serves as a motivation
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			and also a reminder
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			that there will be a day that I
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			will have to answer to my deeds. Then
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala continues on to say,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			And even if it was
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			the weight of a grain of a mustard
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			seed, showing that nothing will surpass Allah Subhanahu
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			Wa Ta'ala's knowledge and nothing can surpass his
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			ability because he is the one that puts
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			the scales
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			and every single thing will be weighed. This
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			is where the individual has what is called
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			muhasaba.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			They hold theirselves accountable. Murakaba. They watch over
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			their deeds, they watch over themselves. We know
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			the beautiful statement of Umar Bilakatab
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			that he used to say, hasibu
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:08
			amfusakum
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:09
			qablantuhasabu.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			Wazinu atmalakum qablantu
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			zenu. It's beautiful. He says, hold yourselves accountable
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			before you will be held accountable.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			And weigh your deeds
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			before they will be weighed. Brothers and sisters,
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			before you go to sleep, have a review
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			of your day. What did you do in
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			that day? Because you don't know if you
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			will wake up.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			And the day we don't know when the
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			day of resurrection will be. The fact that
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			it's a mystery should increase our rajat, our
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			hope in Allah's mercy.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Our hope in Allah's mercy and also fear
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			of any type of accountability from a shortcoming.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			With the reality,
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			with some of our shortcomings,
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:49
			Allah
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			mercy
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			encompasses and engulfs everything, and it's up to
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			him to forgive us or not. Lastly, when
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:57
			Allah
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:58
			says,
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			and this is so beautiful, the tadeel, the
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			way that Allah ends this verse.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			When He talks about accountability and nothing will
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			surpass him, one should think about what am
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			I doing now?
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			I don't know when Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			will take me. How do I want my
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			status to be with Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			Then Allah says here, and suffice
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			with us as reckoners. Kifa'bina,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			with us. This is a showing of greatness.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			Even though there's no plurality with the creator,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			this is a form of greatness and royalty
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			that when he uses the plural plurality to
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			show the majesty that he is great. Subhanahu
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			Wa Ta'ala. He says, suffice for in us
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			is a reckoner. Why is this important?
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			For the individuality of the Muslim and understanding
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			that I am not afraid of ultimately anyone
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			except the law, subhanahu wa ta'ala. I do
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			not fear what this person will say as
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			long as I am obeying Allah because he
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			is my ultimate reckoner. He is the one
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			that will hold me accountable
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			for my deeds. So when it comes to
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			making a choice
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			because of that strong foundation and the belief
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			in the oneness of Allah and his greatness
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			and his ability, and there will be a
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			day that the scales will be weighed, deeds
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			will be weighed, We recognize that, and that
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			should serve as our motivation for wanting to
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			please him within these trials and tests. May
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			Allah, subhanahu, make us of those that are
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			aware of his greatness and aware of his
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			justice and allow that to be a sense
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			of solace and peace in our hearts.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			The story of Ibrahim alayhis salam, which is
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			mentioned in Suratulambiya,
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			Surah number 21,
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			is really fascinating.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			One of the
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:30
			remarkable
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			stylistic
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			marvels of the Quran
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			is that the Quran returns back to the
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			same story repeatedly
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			while highlighting different elements of that story.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			But maybe one of the most well known
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			of the stories of the prophets of the
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:48
			past,
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			and something that
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:57
			is symbolically is very powerful and universally recognized
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			by believers everywhere
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			is only mentioned one place in the Quran
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:06
			and that's here in 17th juz in chapter
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			21, surah number 21, Surah Al Anbiya.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			And it's a very lengthy
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			passage that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala details the
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			whole story beginning with ayah number 51 going
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			all the way till ayah number 70,
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			but the culmination of the story, the climax
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			of the story, if you will,
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			is in verse number 69, ayah number 69.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			In which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			we
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			said,
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:34
			oh fire,
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			Ibrahim. Be cool
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			and peaceful, safe
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			upon Ibrahim, alayhis salaam.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			And very quickly, the back story is is
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			that
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			Ibrahim alaihi salam,
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			after trying
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			over and over and over again
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55
			to
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			reason with his people,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:58
			to
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			try to get them to understand
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			that the worship of idols was something false.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			And they were so stubborn
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			that they just were not coming around. So
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			Ibrahim alayhi salam decided to take more drastic
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			measures. When they were all gone for a
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			festival or a carnival out of town,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			he went into the temple, he smashed all
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			the idols,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			and he left the largest one so that
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			they would have to come back and deal
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			with this reality.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			When they come back and they find all
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			the idols smashed they say,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			Ibrahim. This young man Ibrahim is always criticizing
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			our idols so they brought him to
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			Let's make an example out of him. And
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			then they decide
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			to when Ibrahim Alaihi Salam challenges them about
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			the reality of these false gods and these
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			idols and they are unable to answer him,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			then finally they resort to violence as people
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			upon falsehood will always do. When they are
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			confronted with the truth, when they have no
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			response for the truth, then they will resort
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:04
			to violence,
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			indiscriminate
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:06
			violence.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			This was this has been the trend all
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			throughout history. This happened in the lifetime of
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam. And we
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			even see this happening today.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			So what did they say?
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			Burn him at the stake
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			and help your gods, they turned it into
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			a campaign.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:27
			And then
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			the narration of Abdullah bin Masood radiAllahu ta'ala
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			Anhu that ibn Kathir, Imam Al Kurtubi, others
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:33
			mentioned
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:34
			that
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			they built this humongous fire and people came
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:37
			and started
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			throwing everything they had, old clothes and old
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			furniture into the fire to the point where
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			it became like a forest fire. They couldn't
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			contain it. They couldn't get near it. So
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			then they said, okay, how do we put
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			Ibrahim in the fire now? So they constructed
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			a device like a catapult
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			to launch him into the fire. They tie
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			him up. Ibrahim alaihis salam puts his faith
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			and trust in Allah and he speaks those
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			words that have been immortalized within the Quran
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			which in which he says,
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			Allah is all I need. Allah suffices for
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			me and Allah is the best of caretakers.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			And then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala intervened for
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			Ibrahim alayhis salam. And in verse number 69,
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			Allah says, we said, oh fire,
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			become cool and safe and peaceful upon Ibrahim.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			And there's 2 quick reflections that I'll give
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			here. Number 1
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			is that think about all the different ways,
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			of course, that Allah could've saved Ibrahim alaihi
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			salaam from the fire.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:35
			Right?
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			It could've started
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			pouring rain and put out the fire. Allah
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			could've sent the wind to carry Ibrahim to
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			safety. A giant bird could've swooped down,
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			grabbed Ibrahim alaihis salam, and carried him to
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			safety. But Allah
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:51
			showed here that Allah changed the very course
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			of nature.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			He intervened directly
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			and changed the nature of the fire.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			And then the second thing that I'll mention
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			in closing here
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			is that
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			Abdullah bin Masuda, the Allahu ta'ala Anhu mentions
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			that when Allah said, oh fire,
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:10
			be cool
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			and safe and peaceful upon Ibrahim.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			There were ropes that were tied to his
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			hands and his feet. Those ropes
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			were against Ibrahim not for Ibrahim. The ropes
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:25
			burned away without burning a single inch on
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			his skin. That's right. Without harming a hair
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			on his head. The ropes were burned, But
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			Ibrahim was not harmed at all. This is
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			the power. This is the majesty.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			This is the might of Allah. This is
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			what we believe in. And we need these
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			reminders constantly,
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			but I feel really now more than ever
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can do anything
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			and everything.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			And so even when all the worldly means
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			don't make any sense,
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			and it seems like there's no way out,
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			we have to keep our faith
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			in the power and the might of Allah
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:58
			Yes.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			SubhanAllah, Sheikh, like these, a lot of the
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			duas and a lot of the things that,
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:05
			you know,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:10
			we learned about through powerful stories, we're now
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			obviously witnessing with the people of Allah, may
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			Allah help them alleviate their And their struggles
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			and their pain, all of the moustallafin
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			around the world. Mhmm. Of course,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			in Jerusalem and Palestine, and you know,
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			the whole area,
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			you see the cruelest enemy,
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			and you see the most faithful people. Agi.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			I think one thing that I always try
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			to emphasize to people is that
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			the people of Gaza didn't just find this
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			faith now. Mhmm. They had it. Mhmm. And
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			one thing that's very apparent, like, when you're
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			going through the stories of the prophets,
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			look, Zakariyah knew, alaihi salaam,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			when he
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			needed to turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			for a child, he needed to turn to
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			Allah. Mhmm. Ayub, alayhi salam, knew that with
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			everything that happened to him,
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			the only one he could turn to was
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Absolutely. Ibrahim, alayhis salaam,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			knew whether he was in a fire Mhmm.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			Or whether he was in the comfort of
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			his home Mhmm. Turned back to Allah subhanahu
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			It's like when they say you can't know
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:15
			only 1 or 2 names of Allah. To
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			know Allah, you have to know his names
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			and attributes.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			And to know all of his names and
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			attributes, you have to know different circumstances.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			And the prophets were subjected to the most
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			extreme manifestations of all of those circumstances,
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			and so they had the most extreme connections
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			to all of those names and attributes. Mhmm.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			Right? Their duas were
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			loving, sincere, devoted, and so
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			the seemingly impossible happened Mhmm. For them
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			in ways that we could never imagine.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			But that's directly tied to their tawakkur. It's
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			not just their stations as prophets. Mhmm. It's
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			their stations as hidaat, as as being great
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			servants of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			And so that's why when you when you
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			see, like, I think the scars of the
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			past, like, when you've been Qayyim Rahim Allah
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			talks about Tawakkul and Madariz Asadekeen,
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			you know, when you really,
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			really,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			really realize
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			this trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, things
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			happen for you that don't happen for other
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:06
			people. Mhmm.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			And that's why you have the Muertjizat.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			Mhmm. These miracles of the prophets, but you
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			also have the Kalamat al Oliya. You do.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			You have the the miracles of the Oliya,
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			the miracles of the friends of Allah that
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:20
			aren't prophets, but things happen for them Absolutely.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23
			That otherwise, you know, are outside of what
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			we are familiar with.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			How do you and and I guess this
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			is a question I'll pose to both of
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:27
			you.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			How do you say to someone, like, I
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			don't believe a miracle is possible in my
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			life or
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			because there are 2 extremes to this. One
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			is, is a miracle even possible for me
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			or
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			if the miracle doesn't happen for me, that
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			means that Allah is not answering my du'a.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			Mhmm. Right? It's kind of like there are
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			some people who are like, the miracle is
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			didn't happen, therefore, my relationship with Allah is
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			impossible. Mhmm. How do you kinda talk to
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			people as they're trying to find themselves between
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			these miracles,
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			and they're not seeing them manifest in their
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			own lives? Yeah.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			You know, something interesting because
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			this story of Ibrahim alayhis salam, as I
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			mentioned, you know, it's something that's really universally
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			known and recognized as maybe one of the
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			most well known of the stories of the
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			prophets. But particularly
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			during times of
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			difficulty and tragedy in the ummah,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			my mind, my heart always goes back to
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			this particular story for that exact reason. There
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			were so many steps along the way where
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala could have,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			when they're starting the fire, when they're putting
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			him in the catapults, when they're launching him,
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			when he's midair.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			There's so many moments where
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			the intervention one could have expected it,
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			but it came
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			at the time that was the most powerful
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			and most effective,
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			Where it became something that people would remember
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:00
			and talk about and reflect upon for the
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			rest of time.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			So much so that we're sitting here, only
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			Allah knows how many millennia later, halfway across
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			the world, and we're reflecting on it once
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			again.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			So it's
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			it's going back to these stories
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			is ultimately the way to find that kind
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			of strength and consolation and comfort.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			And it might seem a bit
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			obtuse to some people,
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			but just going back to those stories and,
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			you know, mentioning those stories and reflecting on
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			those stories together, I think ultimately is what
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			provides that comfort.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			That it's the same Allah
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			that we're praying to and he has the
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			same might and power that he had when
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			he saved Ibrahim alayhis salaam, and he can
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			do the same exact,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:51
			quote, unquote, impossible make the impossible possible.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			The miracle
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			happened today like he did at that time.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			I have to say one thing here, because
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			he just said it and it and it
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			just occurred to me. Right? When you say,
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			like, we're still talking about someone
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			Mhmm. 1000 of years later. Mhmm. Their exact
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			words Mhmm.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			That happened in a moment of time when
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			they were at their lowest
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:12
			and loneliest
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			I did.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18
			Ibrahim is in a roaring fire. I do.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			If you ever heard a fire roar,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			think about
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			his words. May Allah protect us from the
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			fire.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			Mhmm.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			Think about how muted his words would be
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			in that fire with the roaring fire. Mhmm.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			Has to be
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			And and and we hear them. Mhmm. And
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			then Ibrahim, al Islam, is in the desert
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			and. What's gonna cause my voice to reach
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			all these people in the desert? Yeah. Right?
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:44
			Just.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			Just do it.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			Zakaria, al Islam, is in a corner of
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			Al Aqsa.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			Mhmm. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala liberate it.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:53
			And
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:54
			he
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			like,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			he's speaking so low that no one else
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			can hear him
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			from from the khalq around him, from the
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			creation, except that Allah's.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			And here we are talking about it now.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:07
			Ajay. Ayyub, alayhis salaam, has been shunned by
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			all of society at this point. Mhmm. No
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			one's around him. And he's calling out to
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:14
			Allah in this private dua. He's shunned. Mhmm.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			And Allah
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			has it immortalized in Quran. All of these
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			people's duas are in Quran.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:22
			Mhmm.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			We're reciting it constantly. I mean, it's it
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			just shows you
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			how you don't know what's happening in that
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:28
			moment
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:29
			in history,
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			how how consequential that moment is in
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			the Quran, the decree of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			ta'ala for everything
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			that's to come.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			Yeah. I mean, it's it's that's what I
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:39
			was
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			going to mention about the statement of Ibrahim.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			I mean, we're seeing this online, Our brothers
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			and sisters in class, they keep saying it.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			Right?
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			And then Allah says,
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			Allah is enough for me.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:54
			Hasibim.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			Right? Allah is enough for me. So when
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			it comes to a miracle,
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			I ask that individual to think about even
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			what is a miracle. A miracle is something
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			beyond human capabilities.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			And who is Allah? Look at those beautiful
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			names, those attributes.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			Each one of them are totally beyond our
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			capabilities. Therefore,
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			which is part of the reason
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			why we count on Him in worship Him,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:18
			and it's not conditional to our intellectual capacity.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:21
			So when thinking about the miracle, okay, it's
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			when Allah chooses.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			But in the end of the day,
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			it's this term of uncertainty tolerance.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			Right? I'm not certain when it's going to
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			happen but I'm certain He has the capabilities
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			to make it happen.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			Am I okay with that? The fact that
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			it doesn't turn on that I'm okay with
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			it or at certain times I may ask
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			why, that's human. But what's most important is
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			when you realize that,
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			how do you retreat
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			into Fir, Eid Allah,
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			and return to him? It's about
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			what happens at that moment.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			And getting back to Allah, it's not easy
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			at times. It's a fitna. It's a it's
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			a struggle. You think what they're saying, hasbilla
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			niyomu, ghasbilla.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			It is some type of, you know, some
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			would say cognitive behavioral therapy. You're like speaking
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			to yourself to bring yourself back
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			to spiritual sanity. And that's what's needed because
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			we're human.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			We're insan.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			Because sometimes we are you know, it's a
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			beautiful word insan comes from nesia and also
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			comes from uns.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			Like, nesia means you're forgetful at times, and
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			uns means having that closeness or sociability.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			But that closeness ultimately is to be like
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			Ibrahim was, Khalilullah.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			And that's why Subhanahu you mentioned times of
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			being alone,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			The last 10 days of Arun al Dinwala.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			Iritikaf.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			Being alone and intimate with Allah,
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			putting your phone away, fasting from food, drinks,
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			and
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			being with people, and electronics as well.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			And getting close to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			khalwa.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			We see this is what the salafah with
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:57
			our scholars. Khallwa, spending time alone just silence.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			Nowadays they call it meditation, right?
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			But we have this this system and this
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			framework that's been given to us to come
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			closer to him, to know that Allah is
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			enough for us. And when the miracles come,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			the miracle itself, we know that it's from
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			Allah. We need chooses to. It's up to
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			us to be patient, and that takes a
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			struggle. But Allah loves the struggle.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			Yeah. It's the leap of faith.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			That that term means a lot of different
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			things to a lot of different people, and
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			it's used by sometimes other kind of, like,
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			religions and, you know, other faiths in a
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			way that probably wouldn't
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:37
			agree with our understanding of.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			Mhmm. Because we have, we have the text,
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			we got Wahi, we have Quran and Sunnah.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			But this would be the Islamic application of
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			the leap of faith. Mhmm. We know what
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			we believe from the textual evidence,
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			but then that thing that you were talking
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			about, that that acceptance and tolerance
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:55
			for
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			knowing exactly when, where, and how. Mhmm. That's
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			the leap of faith. Yeah.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			I was talking about leap of faith too,
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			by the way, when we get here. So
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			Really? Something in. Y'all
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			all must be doing a lot of leaping,
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			leaping at Qalam. They have a big they
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			have a big campus. Yes, sir.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			Texas side campus.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			Beautiful reflection of Sheikh Adonasa. May Allah bless
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			you
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			and, increase you, and may Allah
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			allow us all to manifest those beautiful qualities
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			of the prophet. Allahu alaihi wa simeen.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			We will see you all tomorrow.
