May Allah always constantly send peace and blessings to Mohammed, to his family to his companions, and all those who call to his way and establish his sunnah to the day of judgment as to what follows.

00:01:23--> 00:01:44

I begin by reminding myself and you have the overwhelming importance of Taqwa Allah, the overwhelming importance of the consciousness of the fact that everything in this universe is ultimately controlled by Allah subhanaw taala, creator of the heavens in the earth.

00:01:46--> 00:01:55

And Allah has revealed to us are you who believe, fear Allah in the way that he should be feared and do not die, except in a state of Islam.

00:01:57--> 00:02:16

Oh, you who believe. Allah subhanaw taala has revealed the last revelation in a time framework that is beginning now with a revelation coming to the Prophet Mohammed Salah Salem and continuing on until the day of resurrection.

00:02:17--> 00:02:34

And so the verses that are so much were so much important to the Prophet peace be upon him and his companions are also critical for us today, as we read them, and in this chaotic world that we are living in today

00:02:35--> 00:02:38

Maya T him in decurrent Min Robbie him Martin. Illness time are who, what when we are born,

00:03:05--> 00:03:22

Allah has revealed closer and closer to humanity comes their reckoning, yet they do not care and they turn away whenever a renewed message comes to them from their Lord. They listen to it

00:03:23--> 00:03:24

and they play.

00:03:26--> 00:03:27

They listen.

00:03:29--> 00:03:31

It goes to their ears.

00:03:32--> 00:03:34

But they continue to play.

00:03:36--> 00:03:41

Now we are witnessing a clear renewed message.

00:03:43--> 00:03:53

It is totally agreed upon by the scientists. That climatic disaster is a reality that we will have to live with.

00:03:55--> 00:03:56

Renewed signs are coming.

Recently it is found that the glaciers in Greenland some of the largest glaciers on Earth are restricting because of the heating of the earth. And it is causing strange ice formations to pour into the oceans

00:04:17--> 00:04:29

and the heat that we have created as human beings in the north. This heat is causing glaciers around the world to melt at an unprecedented rate.

00:04:30--> 00:04:41

It is causing strange phenomenon even in Europe, which thought that it was safe from the punishment of Allah. They are witnessing

00:04:42--> 00:04:46

the hottest temperatures in 500 years.

00:04:47--> 00:04:50

Their major rivers are drying up.

00:04:51--> 00:04:53

Their livestock is dying.

00:04:54--> 00:04:56

And this terrible heat

00:04:57--> 00:05:00

is causing rivers to dry up in China.

00:05:00--> 00:05:00

In

00:05:01--> 00:05:06

many parts of the world, and the opposite, it is also causing

00:05:07--> 00:05:08

terrible droughts

00:05:10--> 00:05:24

not just drying on the ground, but a whole atmosphere of heat and dryness. East Africa is facing a terrible drought, over 20 million people are in danger right now.

00:05:25--> 00:05:32

And this is not to forget about famine that is sweeping Yemen and sweeping Afghanistan.

00:05:34--> 00:05:36

And now, in Pakistan,

00:05:38--> 00:05:43

the monsoon rains that have been increased with the heat.

00:05:44--> 00:06:06

The glaciers above Pakistan, more than any other country in the world are melting at a tremendous rate. And now 33 million people in Pakistan are affected 33 million people that is almost the size of the population of Canada

00:06:08--> 00:06:28

00:06:30--> 00:06:38

There is a 60 mile wide inland lake now developing around the Indus River.

00:06:39--> 00:06:45

And so what is pouring water into the country over 1/3 of the country is underwater.

00:06:47--> 00:07:00

Is this not assign what more to people on Earth with the wealth that we have? What more do we need? But what is the response? As Allah has said, they listen, we're home yell our boon.

00:07:02--> 00:07:19

They listen to it and they play. Whether it's their war games are whether it is their national games, or whether it is their international games and this year alone, there was the Winter Olympics, while drought is happening.

00:07:49--> 00:07:53

Allah gave them the message. And as he told us in this chapter,

00:07:54--> 00:07:55

they play

00:07:56--> 00:08:11

Antonio Guterres, Secretary General, the United Nations has said recently, the world is sleepwalking towards the destruction of the planet by climate change, sleep walking.

00:08:13--> 00:08:14

How do we respond?

00:08:15--> 00:09:01

How do Muslims respond to have the last message? We have the last message in our hand? What should we do with these catastrophes hitting us in the left hit is hitting us in the right up and down. Allah told us inserted talaaq woman yet tequila Hajjaj Allahu Maharaja, while your resume and highschooler yet acid woman yet Tawakkol Allah He for who has spoke in Allah knows not.

00:09:06--> 00:09:12

with the consciousness of the Creator and Tawakkol which means you depend upon Allah, but you tie your camel.

00:09:13--> 00:09:39

You deal with the reality on the earth that we are living in, we can bounce back. We have bounced back as a nation in many catastrophes throughout the centuries.

It changes the order of societies. And this is what we are seeing right now. The order of this planet is changing

00:10:16--> 00:10:22

right in front of our eyes, not 50 years from now, not at the turn of the century. Right now.

00:10:24--> 00:10:27

calamities are also a sign of Allah's love.

00:10:29--> 00:10:35

And the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him said whenever Allah loves a person, he tests him.

00:10:36--> 00:10:43

He also said If Allah wants to do good to somebody, he afflicts him with trials.

00:10:45--> 00:10:50

Given a km Rahim Allah said calamities and trials are tests

00:10:51--> 00:11:08

and signs of the love from Allah for the believers, they are comparable to a cure. Although it may be better, you accept it, because it is from the one you love. And to Allah belongs the best examples.

00:12:50--> 00:12:55

If his faith is weak, his affliction is light.

00:12:56--> 00:12:59

calamities also teach us sober

00:13:00--> 00:13:06

patience during the calamity and there has to be Saba after the calamity

00:13:08--> 00:13:21

and check it okay and Rahim Allah also said panicking does not make the calamity go away. In fact, panicking makes the calamity more difficult.

00:13:24--> 00:13:37

What is the outcome for us now? It's all around us. We need to show gratitude. shukor gratitude and thanks to Allah subhanaw taala under all circumstances.

00:13:39--> 00:13:44

and relative calm. But that is only momentarily.

00:13:51--> 00:14:10

in the next life, when they see the reward of those who are suffering under calamity,

00:14:20--> 00:14:56

we are under tremendous test right now. And so every person every one of us, has to look into himself or herself.

And then the east will come.

00:15:03--> 00:15:44
