Ramadan 2024 – Stories of the Prophets #02

Bismillah you will hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah ala alihi wa sahbihi Ultramarine As salam o aleikum, wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

Continuing in sha Allah with our series here in the month of Ramadan, which is focusing on the stories of the prophets in the Quran, and how we can derive lessons and inspiration from these remarkable stories that Allah subhanaw taala has given us. Yesterday, we talked about the repentance of other Maliki salaam, the self blame and repentance of the Maliki Salaam. And the lesson that that provides for us. And we looked at the juxtaposition between once again the self blame and other the self blame and repentance of other Maliki Salam juxtaposed to the deflection of blame, and the refusal to repent by Shavon. Today, we're going to look at D is the karma to new Alehissalaam. We're

going to look at the steadfastness of the Prophet newer, I think his salah, who we also refer to or we might have heard him referred to, as Noah knew how to his salah, there's a chapter in the Quran surah number 71, which is referred to as sutra, it's newer, the chapter about no Harlequin salah.

And there are many, many lessons in this chapter and in these verses.

But the one I'd like for us to focus on today is the steadfastness, the consistency, the resilience,

of new haikus Allah.

Allah subhanaw taala tells us in our salah, new Han Isla comi, and their coma communicably And yet to whom

we sent new to his people. And we said warn your people and tell them warn your people before a painful punishment comes upon them. Funny guy foamy in the lacuna zero movie, he said, Oh my people and there's a lesson here that when you are talking to people, you cannot otherwise them you cannot treat them as others and speak to them distantly, without any affection without any connection without any concern or sympathy them. But rather you have to be invested within the people. He says my people he doesn't say oh people Yafo me, my people. And he says I am here to warn you from Allah. And Allah What's up boo hoo up to your own. Worship Allah and fear Him and obey me in what I am

telling you to do your Fiddler coming up come if you do that, God will forgive your sins, where you are headed Camila, Jelena Musa and he will allow you to live a beneficial fruitful life for as much time as you have in this world. In a gel Allah He either Jaya Allah you and know for a fact that when that moment comes, when Allah takes you away from this world, nothing can delay that moment. Nothing can delay that moment, low quantum Charla moon if you would only realize how important this is. And then I want everyone to understand something in another place in the Quran in surah tilahun Kabuto Allah tells us we'll look at the Sunnah new Han Isla comi he fun fella with a fee him Al

fascinating Illa come Cena Iman

new alayhi salam did his job. This message, he presented it to them. He spoke to them. He talked to them. He reasoned with them. He pleaded with them. He did everything in his capacity. And the Quran tells us how long did he do this for? Allah tells us in the Quran, he did this for 950 years.

A day, 1000 years minus 50 950 years. This is not just a quick little thing. Somebody gives us a task. And we go we were back five minutes later it was too difficult. It's not working. They don't want to live.

There was a Sahabi at the time of the Prophet salatu salam he came he accepted Islam, the prophets Allah the some said Go back to your people. He went back to his people and he said here's the message of Islam believe they said no, it's okay we'll pass he comes back to Mecca the prophets a lot he says what are you doing back to fail me now? I'm gonna dosi What are you doing back and he says in the Dosen Kedah assert they're bad people. They don't listen. Further ALLAH ha they can make dua Allah destroy

Islam

the Sahaba say the prophets Allah the some raised up his hands and when he saw it when we saw his hands, we said to ourselves doses finished in the doses of the halachot they're gone

but when the prophets Allah the sum opened his mouth the words came out of his mouth. Hola Matthew Dosen Oh Allah guide the people of those

he said in Neelam Oba Isla on and wait number four is to Ramadan. I was not sent to curse people. I was not sent to doom people. I was sent to us and mercy to people.

And then he told to fail. Go back to your people it or Jerry la Komik

what your whom Elon Islam, called them to Islam? What * be him, but this time, care about them. And the Sahaba say we didn't see that man again, for over a decade. The next time we saw him he brought over 1000 people to become Muslim. The whole tribe he brought the whole tribe and the whole tribe became Muslim.

So new holiday he salaam preacher 950 years.

And after 950 years, when the people finally didn't listen. Then he comes to Allah. He begs in front of Allah. He prays in front of Allah. And what does he say? Don't be any doubt to call me an alien when a heron. I called my people I preached to my people. Again, pay attention to the word he says my people. Is it these people? My people. He says night and day.

Filming is it whom do I interfere rara the more I call them? The more they run away from me. When we're in the pudding, another outcome, little fear all of them every time I call them and I don't yell at them. I don't reprimand them. I don't call them bad and evil and terrible. Lee tuck federal law when I told him Allah will forgive you.

Dr. Lu Asami. I hope he has any him. They plugged their fingers in their ears with some shows the younger him they cover their faces. They don't want to look at me with a sunroof. They are arrogant. They are insistent was was stuck but rustic Barra and they are arrogant and rude. For my needs out to come grr. So I said, Okay, that's fine. I'll do it in a group in a gathering. Maybe that'll be effective. Nope, that didn't work for me in the island. Tula home. So then I said, Okay, let me talk to them one on one, but more like still in the public setting during daytime. No, that still didn't work. What Estrada Tula whom is sarara I said, Oh, I understand social pressure. So I'll go to them

one on one individually in their homes and speak to them privately. I get that. And they still didn't listen.

This is the persistence, the consistency,

the steadfastness of new Hani husana.

In the face of such rejection, we know about the art. We know about the tufan the flooding of the world. We know about the destruction of all the people. We know that only 80 some odd people survived and followed him.

And we fixate on that and that's in the Quran. That's a fact that the whole world was annihilated. Everybody was wiped out. And only those in the arts survived a new Heidegger's salaam that is all true.

But what we do not pay attention to what we do not reflect on enough is that for nearly 1000 years, every day, morning, afternoon, evening and even at night.

He preached every day he prayed every day.

He preached all day he prayed all night.

And he never stopped. And he never questioned. And he never asked why.

But when we were just listening to the ayat was you know, had tell you Akula Rasulullah Dena Amanu, ma who? Allah

that when the difficult situations arrive, and the Earth moves beneath their feet, and the messenger and those who believe with them, they say my time is for Allah, Oh Allah, when will your help come? They don't say if or will it come? No, when will it come? But even then Allah says to them, Alina Nasrallah HCA read it soon enough. That's not your job, to worry about the timeline.

Our job is to do what we were told.

Do your task, do your job, play your role, and Allah will take care of the rest. And that's not easy. That's not easy. It's very difficult. It's very challenging. The Sahaba Radi Allahu Taala and him the companions of the Prophet salallahu Salam

They are role models with Serbia una la Luna, middle, Mahajan, avanzar. Well Latina ma who they are a role model. And even they have moments where they asked is a homecoming now. So it's not easy,

but it is still the job.

We have to stay consistent.

We have to be strong, we have to be steadfast, every day every night. We keep doing our job. And we know and we believe that the Promise of Allah is true. That the Promise of Allah subhanaw taala shall be fulfilled in this life and in the next. May Allah subhanaw taala grant us strength. May Allah give us steadfastness, may Allah give us consistency. May Allah subhanaw taala give us resilience, may Allah make us strong upon our faith. I mean arable Allah me, Zack Mala Hara May Allah subhanaw taala give us the ability to practice everything that's been said said and heard.
