			Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi l-hamd,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			wa lillahi l-fatiha.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			Alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen, ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, wa
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:26
			lillahi l-fatiha.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:56
			Alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen, ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, wa
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:04
			lillahi l-hamd, wa lillahi l-fatiha.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:40
			Alhamdulillahi
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			rabbil alameen, ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, wa lillahi
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			l-fatiha.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:59
			Alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen, ar
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:29
			-Rahman ar-Raheem, wa
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:29
			lillahi l-fatiha.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:47
			is that whenever there is a calamity, there's
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			a problem, there's a way out of it,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			meaning the mental state of the mu'min is
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			always positive.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			And so, after the battle of Uhud, of
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			course, there were many Muslims, many of the
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			companions, they felt deflated.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			Maybe some of them felt deflated, they were
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			sad by what had happened.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			So what did Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:10
			-A'la do?
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			And what did the message of Allah Subh
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la teach them?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			One of the lessons Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			Ta-A'la says in Surah Ali-Imran,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			in a verse that's related to the aftermath
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			of the battle of Uhud, Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			Wa Ta-A'la says, And
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:40
			do
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:51
			not feel deflated, do not feel saddened, because
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			you are Al-A'lawn, you are above,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			meaning you are better than them, you are
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:57
			above.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			Why?
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			Because, وَأَنتُمُ الْعَلَىٰ وَإِن كُنتُم مُؤْمِنِينَ If you
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			have faith in Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:08
			-A'la, no matter what happens in your
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			life, no matter what happens in an incident
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:15
			or a case or a situation, as long
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			as you have your deen, your faith and
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			your iman, you are better than all of
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			the other people who don't have faith, don't
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			have iman, don't have Islam.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			And that's why even though they may be
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			happy, but be thankful that Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			Wa Ta-A'la has given you iman
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			and faith, that in the end is the
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			best that you can have.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			And that's why Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			-A'la says, وَلَا تَيْنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا Do
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			not feel deflated, do not feel saddened.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:50
			So anything that something happens to you, you
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:54
			lost something, you lost, maybe somebody stole something
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			of yours, you've lost something, as long as
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			you still have faith and you still have
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			iman, don't feel deflated.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			That's the greatest blessing that you can have.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			Don't feel deflated, don't be saddened, because the
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			most, as long as your iman, your faith
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			is protected, because a fitna or a trial,
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:16
			in the fitna, in your deen, that's the
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			most dangerous thing.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			If you don't have la ilaha illa Allah,
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			you don't have deen, you don't have faith,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			you don't have anything.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			You won't be successful in this life or
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:25
			in the hereafter.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			And that's why as long as you have
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			la ilaha illa Allah, don't feel deflated, don't
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			feel saddened, وَأَنْتُمُ الْعَلَىٰ وَإِنْ تُمُّ الْعَلَىٰ If
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			you have faith in Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			Ta-A'la.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			And so this is one of the lessons
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:44
			that we can take from this, from this
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			balance, the aftermath.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			And that's why even though you might feel
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:51
			like some Muslim countries are weak, you know,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			they don't have the capacity, the strength, but
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			when they have faith in Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			Wa Ta-A'la, when they have iman,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			they're still above.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			Because your brothers are, your brothers of faith,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			those who have iman and islam, in the
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			end, they're better than all of the other
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			people.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			Even if they might have certain aspects that
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			are not praiseworthy, in terms of akhlaa and
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			things like that, but they still have la
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			ilaha illallah Muhammadun Rasulullah.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:23
			And that's the most valuable thing that a
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			person can have.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			And faith in Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			-A'la, a nation that's based on the
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			faith of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			'la, inshaAllah Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			'la in the end, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:39
			Ta-A'la will always help inshaAllah.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			So Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			will always allow those who inherit the earth,
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:47
			to allow, in the end, those who worship
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:52
			Him, those who, you know, those who praise
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			Him, who raise la ilaha illallah, in the
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			end, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			will give them inshaAllah success.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			And so, you have to look at the
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			positive, right?
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:04
			You look at the positive.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			So after the battle, right?
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is,
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:17
			making us, or helping the believers, to focus
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			on that which is positive.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			And so that's why when we speak about
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			the aftermath, and some of the lessons of
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:29
			the battle of Uhud, we also can apply
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			it to all the other situations, the calamities
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			that happened in our life, and what should
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			we be thinking about.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			So if you lost something, as long as
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			you have, Alhamdulillah, you still have your need,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			then that's the best that you can, that's
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:46
			all that, you know, that's la ilaha illallah.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			No matter what you have lost, as long
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			as you have your need, inshaAllah, you still
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			have that which will benefit you and give
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			you success in this life, inshaAllah, and also
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			in the hereafter.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			And also, one thing that Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			Wa Ta-A'la keeps the Muslims in
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:08
			focus, is that, of course, everything that happens
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			is by the will of Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:10
			Wa Ta-A'la.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			That nothing happens except by the will of
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:14
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			is all-wise.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			So everything that happens to us in terms
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			of calamity and problems, we have to realize
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			that, that it is a test from Allah
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, and Allah
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la will be
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			returned back to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:39
			-A'la.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			And also, to give us hope.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			giving hope to the believers.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			Afterwards, after the battle of Uhayr, Allah Subh
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:53
			'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, If Allah
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la helps you,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			then there is no one who will be
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:58
			able to defeat you.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			There is no one who will be able
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			to defeat you, no matter what their numbers
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			are, no matter what their strength is.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			If Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			helps you, no one will be able to
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			defeat you.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			And that's why the focus is on the
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			pleasure of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:13
			'la.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:19
			The focus should be on not disobeying Allah's
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:19
			message.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:24
			Because why did the calamity at Uhayr occur?
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			It was because of the disobedience of a
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			group of companions.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			Because of their chasing after the dunya.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:37
			But in the end, if you return to
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, know
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			will give you victory.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:49
			If you are at the service of Islam
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:53
			and the Muslims, if you are doing things
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			for the sake of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			Ta-A'la, obedient to Allah, responding to
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:00
			the call of Allah and His Messenger, Allah
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la will give
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			you victory.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			And that's why the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:12
			said, Know Allah in times of ease, and
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la will
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			know you in times of hardship.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			And so in the end, Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:23
			Wa Ta-A'la, again, if you fulfill
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			these conditions of the obedience of Allah and
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			His Messenger, then Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			-A'la, Insha'Allah, will give you success
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			in this life and in the hereafter.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			But Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			also reminds us that there are, in Surah
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:40
			Al-Imran, after speaking about the battle of
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			Uhud and the calamity of Uhud, Allah Subh
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la mentions that there
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			are many others before also.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			Many others who also went through difficulties.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			Allah tested them also, right?
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			Allah, but they were patient.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			And they had taqwa in Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:56
			Wa Ta-A'la.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			gave them victory when they were patient and
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			they were strong.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			And they returned to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			Ta-A'la.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:14
			And that's why Allah says, Allah Subh
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, And how
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			many?
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			There are many incidents before this.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			All the prophets and messengers of before faced
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			calamities and hardships.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			And there are people with their followers, they
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			fought with them against the disbelievers.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says,
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			And it didn't deflate them.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:48
			From whatever occurred to them, meaning whatever happened,
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			of course there's ups and downs.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			When there's a calamity that occurs, it didn't
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			make them quit.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:54
			Right?
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			It didn't make them quit.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			They were patient and they continued to be
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			focused on the pleasure of Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:01
			Wa Ta-A'la.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			And of course Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			-A'la gave them victory.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			But not without hardships and difficulties.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			So the hardships and difficulties that you're facing
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:16
			right now, were also these hardships and difficulties
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:19
			were hardships that the other prophets and messengers
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			of before and their followers also faced.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			But they were strong, they were patient.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			helped them and was also with them.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			And so also Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			-A'la then reminded the believers that you
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:38
			faced hardships and you went through difficulties But
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:42
			you know the disbelievers, whatever they did to
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			you, they didn't just do it, you know,
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			and they didn't face any difficulties.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			No, they faced difficulties also.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			That's why Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:57
			'la again reminds the believers إِيَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدَ
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:02
			مَسَّىٰلْ قَوْمَ قَرْحٌۭ If you face this qarh,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			that means like a scab or a harm,
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:11
			a hardship, difficulty, you know, some calamity, the
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:14
			hardship that you went through, they went through
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			those hardships also.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			They went through those hardships.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
			But in the end, what are they going
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:19
			to get?
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			In the end, they're going to get the
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			hellfire.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			In the end, they will not be successful
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			in the hereafter.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			But they also went through hardship.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			It isn't just you that went through difficulty.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			And that's why Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36
			-A'la, He also mentions in Surah Nisa
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:41
			إِن تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ If surely you are in
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:45
			pain, you feel pain فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُونَ
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			They also are in pain.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			But you have Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			-A'la, you have hopes in Allah Subh
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la and you have
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			the reward from Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			-A'la for the pain that you went
		
00:26:59 --> 00:26:59
			through.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02
			For them, they lose this life and the
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:02
			hereafter.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			So it isn't just you.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			So the enemies of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:10
			Ta-A'la, they are also going through
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			difficulties also.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			So it isn't just you also.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			And that's why Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:19
			-A'la says أَوَلَمَّ أَصَابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَدْ أَصَبَتُمْ
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:24
			مِنْ بَيْهَا قُلْتُمْ أَنَّ هَذَا قُلْتُمْ أَنَّ هَذَا
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:29
			أَوَلَمَّ أَصَابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ And when indeed calamity fell
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:35
			upon you Indeed, قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِنْ بَيْهَا قُلْتُمْ
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			أَنَّ هَذَا Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			'la reminded them also, remember In the battle
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:43
			of Uhud Yeah, you lost 70 But they
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			had, you know, I mean, they During the
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:50
			battle of Badr also They lost You know,
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			they were, they lost 70 They were also
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:58
			They were also Not only The 70 of
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			them were killed before this In the battle
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			of Badr The battle of Badr But also
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06
			70 of them were Captured As prisoners also
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			Like you actually, you know, you're on the
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			You're winning still Like you still have, like,
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15
			you know Because, you know, Abu Sufyani says
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:19
			He says, you know Today is In replacement
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			of that day, right?
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			No, it's not the same وَلَا سَوَاءُ خَتْلَانَ
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:27
			بِالْجَنَّةِ وَخَتْلَاكُمْ But no, those who were killed
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			amongst you And they held fire Those who
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			were killed amongst us Are in Jannah, are
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			in paradise It's not the same And even
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:39
			the numbers Like you guys, you know The
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			calamity that happened in Uhud In comparison to
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			the whole thing Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			-A'la is always Helping us to focus
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			on the positives And that's why in life
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			Always try to focus on the positives Don't
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:54
			focus on the negatives Even in your relationship
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			With your wife You know, there are many
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			things That you may not like about your
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			spouse Your wife or your husband But there
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			are also many things That are good about
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			them If you focus only on the bad
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			And never look at the good You will
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			never be happy You think your wife is
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			the worst wife You think your husband is
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16
			the worst husband Right, and that's why the
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:27
			Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said Do
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:33
			not Do not have Do not hate Like
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			you know, when you hate somebody really bad
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:37
			Everything, you just never Focus on the positives
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:42
			at all That's, see, I'm And And And
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:50
			also to Dislike something Is to hate Like
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			you know, when you look at somebody You
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:55
			just detest everything about them Don't hate them
		
00:29:55 --> 00:30:00
			That passionately Don't hate them passionately If you
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:04
			don't like certain things About them There are
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:08
			other things that are positive About them Right,
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			you may be You might think that your
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			wife is a little bit mean In certain
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			aspects But she takes care of the children
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:17
			She cooks very good food And you know,
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			she is She always keeps the house clean
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			Think about all the positive things If you
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			don't think about the positives You're going to
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			go crazy Right, you're always going to be
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			mad So both for the husband and for
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			the wife Try to focus also on the
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			positives And so when you go through a
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			calamity When you go through difficulties You might
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			lose this Yeah, but look what we have
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			Focus on what you have Don't focus on
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			what you don't have Even in life, you
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			know when you look at other people Don't
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			look at those who have more than you
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			When you look at those who have more
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			than you You're always feeling that you need
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			more You're always lacking But when you look
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			at those who have less than you Like
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			you're like, oh I have this car Then
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			other people have better cars Or better house
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			And then you look at some Many of
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			the people in Somalia They wish that they
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			had the car that you have They wish
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			that they had the car that you have
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			There are some people who wish That they
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			have the house that you have They wish
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14
			that they had the money that you have
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:17
			And you think you don't have anything They
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			would trade anything for your situation To be
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22
			in your shoes So focus on the positives
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:26
			And don't always focus On the negatives And
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			also things will change And that's why Allah
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la reminds us
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:32
			In the battle of Uhud It's not just
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			learning about the battle It's the lessons in
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			life Lessons that we learn in life That
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:43
			things will change Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:46
			-A'la says Concerning the incident And these
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:47
			are the days that we just You know
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			we flip them back and forth And so
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			there's some good days, there's some bad days
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			And there's some difficult times And then you
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			have some positive times And so when you
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:01
			become sick Focus on the positives Even when
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			you're sick Focus on the positives And be
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:09
			thankful So when somebody is sick He's still
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			thankful to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			'la How was he thankful when he was
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:16
			afflicted With so much hardship And so much
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:20
			sickness And difficulties He said, Ya Allah, how
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:23

			you gave me May be only a bunch
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:30
			more There's some days you have headaches Ya
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			Alhamdulillah, maybe these are two or three days
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:36
			But you had 30 years Without headaches You
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			had 30 years Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			the positives And then it will go away
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:44

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			don't repeat them over and over and over
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:48
			again But if they do They return to
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la Quickly
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:51
			And that's why Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:55
			-A'la says وَالَّذِينَ إِذْ أَفَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْظَلَعُوا
		
00:35:55 --> 00:36:01
			أَفُوسَهُمْ Those who when they commit A sin
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:05
			Meaning they commit A fahisha That means that
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:11
			they In evil أَوْظَلَعُوا أَفُوسَهُمْ Or transgress themselves
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:17
			ذَكَرُوا اللَّهُ They remember Allah Then they Then
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:23
			they quickly Ask forgiveness for their sins فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:27
			لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَن يَغْفِرُوا ذُنُوبَ إِذْ اللَّهُ And who
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			is there That can forgive except Allah Subh
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la And so Allah
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:33
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la Mentions that
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:38
			also To raise their To make them feel
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:40
			Positive, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:48
			Mentions concerning The battle of Uhud He says
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:58
			ثُمَّ شَرَفَكُمْ عَنهُمْ نِيَبَتَرِيَكُمْ وَلَقَدْ أَعْفَعَنِهُمْ Took
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:02
			them away from you نِيَبتَرِيَكُمْ Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			Wa Ta-A'la wanted to test you
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			To test you نِيبَتَرِيَكُمْ وَلَقَدْ أَعْفَعَنِهُمْ And Allah
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			has already forgiven you So all the mistakes
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			that you made in the battle of Uhud
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:14
			Allah has forgiven you Forgiven you So don't
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:18
			be inflamed, don't be sad Things happen and
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			you learn The most important thing is that
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:23
			you learn You learn your lesson And that
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:27
			when the Shaitan Tries to trick you That
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:29
			you don't fall for those tricks Of the
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:30
			Shaitan and Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:34
			'la Says إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ يَوْمًا تَقَلْ
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:39
			جَمْعًا إِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلْنَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسِبْ وِبِمَا
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:44
			كَسَبُوا وَلَقَدْ أَعْفَعَنِهُمْ Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:47
			-A'la said إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ يَوْمًا
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			تَقَلْ جَمْعًا Remember there was a group who
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:52
			fled They went back to Medina The Messenger
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:54
			of Allah was calling them Come to the
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:57
			mountain Come to the foot of the mountain
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:03
			Come, come أَلُمْهُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسِ Come over here,
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			come here And then some of them fled
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:06
			So Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:09
			said إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ يَوْمًا تَقَلْ جَمْعًا
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:14
			And there amongst you A group amongst you
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:18
			Who turned their backs يَوْمًا تَقَلْ جَمْعًا And
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:20
			on the day that the two groups met
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:25
			إِنَّمَا اِسْتَزَلْ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ Indeed the Shaytan made
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:31
			you sin The Shaytan اِسْتَزَلْ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ بِبَعْضِ
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			مَا أَسْهَبُونَ Why?
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:33
			Because of what?
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:36
			Some of the things that you did That
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:39
			means when you are disobedient to Allah And
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:43
			The Shaytan can Have an influence So the
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:47
			Shaytan, anytime you are sinning You are sinning,
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			you are disobeying Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى You
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:53
			open the doors For the Shaytan to be
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:57
			able to You know Have an influence on
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:00
			But when you remember Allah It's when you
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			forget Allah, the Shaytan comes, right?
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04
			That's why there are certain times You feel
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			like your Iman is strong Because you remember
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:10
			Allah When you forget Allah Immediately the Shaytan
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:14
			comes So your forgiveness You forget for this
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			And what you did This is from what
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:21
			you did So remember, learn your lesson And
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:22
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says وَلَا قَدْ
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			عَفَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ But Allah has already forgiven
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			them for the mistakes that they made Allah
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:30
			has already forgiven them For the mistakes that
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			they made And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:37
			Mentioned immediately وَلَا قَدْ عَفَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ And
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:40
			so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Even reminded
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			them, even though you made those mistakes If
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43
			you repent to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:46
			And you turn back to what you did
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:49
			Like a clean sheet And start over again
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:52
			InshaAllah That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Will
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:56
			again bless you in your life And give
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			you the best of this world And also
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:01
			in the Hereafter And so Another thing that
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:06
			strengthens a believer's resolve When it comes to
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:11
			All the things that happened Sometimes during the
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			kalam The calamity and so forth Allah subhanahu
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:17
			wa ta'ala Is reminding us That no
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			matter what you have Your focus is on
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:23
			the Hereafter The loss in this life Nothing
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:28
			is temporary It's temporary Don't worry about the
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:31
			result in this life Of what happens It
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:34
			is your effort That you make Whether it's
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:36
			successful or not When it's done for the
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:39
			sake of Allah InshaAllah you'll always be successful
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:41
			in the Hereafter And that's why Allah subhanahu
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:44
			wa ta'ala He mentions Again Surah Ali
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:51
			Imran In the verses about this vow And
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Gave them the
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			reward of this world Meaning gave them the
		
00:40:56 --> 00:41:00
			best of this world He gave them the
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:03
			reward in this world And the best reward
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:10
			in the Hereafter Allah loves those who do
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			good Which means what?
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			Is continue to do good Continue to do
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:16
			good And do so for the sake of
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:21
			ta'ala will give you In the Hereafter
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23
			Even better The reward will be even greater
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			You can look forward to the reward in
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:28
			the Hereafter Even if you're going through the
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:31
			calamity And difficulties in this life You may
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:33
			have lost a lot of money You've lost
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:36
			some people in your life You're going through
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:40
			so many Difficulties Your life is sort of
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:44
			like falling By the wayside Everything is collapsing
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:46
			all around you You're going through so much
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:49
			difficulty But if you're patient What can you
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:50
			look forward to?
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:53
			You can look forward to the reward in
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:57
			the Hereafter And it keeps you positive And
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:59
			that's why those people Those who go through
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			hardships They don't have any hopes in the
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			Hereafter That's why those who don't have faith
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:07
			They commit They commit suicide a lot And
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			that's why in this city for example In
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:11
			Seattle, Seattle has a high level of suicide
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			Some of you might think Maybe because it
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:16
			rains a lot Maybe it has a little
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			bit to do with it But it's because
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			of the lack of faith Look around, how
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			many churches do you see?
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			People don't believe in Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:30
			'ala Even Christians Even on the The falsehood
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			that they're on They still have faith When
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			somebody has faith they still have something To
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			look forward to When you don't have anything
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:40
			Your life is collapsing from all aspects And
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:41
			you don't have anything to hope for in
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:44
			the Hereafter Is this all I have in
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:44
			this life?
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			It's not worth it But for a believer
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:49
			it's always worth it Because when you're patient
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52
			Allah gives you a reward Even if you're
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:55
			going through difficulties Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:58
			will Not reward you for it But knowing
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:02
			that reward For patience is so great Helps
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:06
			you to Be hopeful always And you also
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:08
			know that Allah is in charge Allah knows
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:11
			what you're going through Sometimes He doesn't give
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13
			you any option Except to be stronger So
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15
			that you can be stronger And so Allah
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			subhanahu wa ta'ala then says Remember he
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:25
			reminds the believers Do not be deceived Do
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:28
			not be deceived By all the disbelievers going
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:31
			out Rejoicing in the world Like you see
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:34
			them partying Oh they're so happy Don't be
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:41
			deceived By all of that That rejoicing And
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:46
			you know Celebrating Going around Doing this You
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:49
			think that they're having fun Mata'ul qaleel
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:56
			Mata'ul qaleel Short pleasure Small pleasure Thumma
		
00:43:56 --> 00:44:01
			ma'wahum And then their abode Jahannah Then
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:05
			their abode will be Jahannah What a wretched
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:10
			Abode it is So no matter what Celebration,
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			what happiness Whatever you're feeling Oh those guys
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:14
			are having so much fun They're doing so
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:19
			many things Mata'ul qaleel It's just temporary
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:24
			It's fake also Don't be deceived Don't be
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:28
			deceived by this You may be going Through
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			a lot of difficulties Or you can't do
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:33
			all of those things that are haram But
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:34
			it's not good for you The best for
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:36
			you is to be obedient to Allah And
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			His Messenger to hold on to your deed
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:42
			Because these people in the end Thumma ma
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:45
			'wahum In the end Their abode will be
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:47
			Jahannah And what a wretched abode it is
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:52
			What a terrible abode It is And so
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:57
			Allah SWT Reminds us There's so many lessons
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:02
			in the battle Of Uhud That when When
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:05
			a person goes through difficulties When a person
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:09
			goes through hardship In life Focus on the
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:13
			positives There's so many positives And the Muslims
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:16
			Yes they lost 70 But the 70 isn't
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:20
			a calamity These people have Jannah But the
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			calamity is in the disobedience of Allah But
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:25
			Allah gave you another chance Allah gave you
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27
			another chance As long as you're still alive
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:30
			You can still make tawaf You can still
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:33
			return to Allah So even those who disobeyed
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:36
			Allah SWT And His Messenger Even those who
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:39
			disobeyed the orders Of the Prophet SAW On
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:42
			the mountain When they went after the dunya
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:45
			And sometimes we go after the dunya We
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:50
			go after the dunya Instead of At the
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53
			expense of the after Sometimes At the expense
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55
			of the after And we chase after the
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:58
			dunya And we forget And we make mistakes
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00
			But then return to Allah And be quick
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:03
			When you realize that you've made a mistake
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:10
			Return to Allah Just like You go You
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			hurry to the battlefield to fight In the
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:16
			path of Allah SWT If you are killed
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:19
			Then you're martyred, you have Jannah The same
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:21
			with return to Allah You made a mistake,
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24
			you have another opportunity It is through what?
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:29
			Through repentance Through returning to Allah Through the
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:31
			obedience of Allah And His Messenger And you'll
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:35
			be successful Insha'Allah in this life And
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37
			also in the hereafter So these are just
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:40
			some of the lessons Afterwards, insha'Allah we'll
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:43
			be speaking About some other lessons Next week
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:49
			We will also be covering Another incident That
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:52
			occurred It's known as Hamrat Asad So this
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:59
			was The aftermath The battlefield That the Prophet
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:03
			SAW Sent the non-Muslims After the non
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:07
			-Muslims And so This is the incident immediately
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:10

00:47:11 --> 00:47:14
			In this campaign, insha'Allah next week We'll
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:16
			start with that And we ask Allah SWT
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19
			To teach us that which benefits us And
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:28
			benefit us from that which Taught us Insha
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:32
			'Allah Right now, Alhamdulillah We were finally able
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:38
			to correct Some of the audio and video
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:40
			So from now on, insha'Allah Hopefully we'll
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:45
			be able to stream everything And It will
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:50
			be online Also On our YouTube page Insha
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52
			'Allah So the lectures will be on there
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54
			And every time before the lecture If you're
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			following us on WhatsApp You'll get the link,
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:01
			insha'Allah So Alhamdulillah we're able to Actually
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:05
			get some of the Recording and everything Done
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:07
			with all the audio That we may have
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:10
			And the reason we're having problems Is because
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:13
			sometimes it's good here It sounds good here
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:16
			But that online doesn't sound good So we
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:18
			change there and then it messes up And
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:22
			then we change here So to find that
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:25
			balance Between the two so that both You
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:27
			know, on the computer And sometimes the computer
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:30
			Causes problems here, makes noises So we box
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:31
			up a lot of things to try to
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:34
			stop all of that So Alhamdulillah Right now
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:37
			it seems like it's working Finally, after like
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39
			how many weeks That we're able to do
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:41

			can always follow us Online and the lectures
