00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			Psychological trauma I Want to reflect on a
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			story that happened in the days that we
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			live in and That was a story that
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			happened to one of our brothers in Ireland
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			Was a neurosurgeon one of the only two
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			neurosurgeon in all of Ireland he sent his
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			family to study in the Islam course in
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			the UK and One day there was a
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:54
			fight between two individuals One of them being
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			an Englishman and the other one being an
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:03
			Englishman from Pakistani descent and this English man
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			was defeated by the Pakistani brother.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			So he wanted to get revenge and As
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			he was looking to get revenge he said
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			where does this guy live show me his
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			house So some of his friends showed him
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			this is where he lives the only thing
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			was That it wasn't his house It was
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			the house of the family of this doctor
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			in Ireland who was a much of a
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			very good Muslim very good practicing family They
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			were there memorizing the Quran They had nothing
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			to do with this fight so he makes
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			a firebomb and he goes to the house
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			and he throws it into the house and
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			To the house burns down and the brother's
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			wife his daughter and his two sons Who
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			had just completed their head of the Quran
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			and now we're easy moms when they would
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			come back to Ireland and we'll leave the
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			Tarawih All of them were killed in this
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			house fire.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			I Heard of this story and I had
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			met with the brother and Then one day
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			we had a radio program on the local
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			radio in Ireland I was talking about a
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			new Islamic Center that we were about to
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			open And as I was waiting for my
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			turn on the radio station they hosted him
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			to talk about his story as well and
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			He talked about How he has suburb and
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			how patient he was and the Presenter on
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			the radio station.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			He couldn't understand How someone could be so
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			calm and be accepting to what had happened
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			to him?
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			This this is a serious trauma how could
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			it be so accepting so open to what
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:48
			is happening and subhanallah He said this is
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			what we were trained to do in the
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			Quran when Allah taught us in that in
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			Lahi We're in that e-mail.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			He Roger truly, we are from Allah and
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			to him will return and The tips here
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			that he gave to this ayah It's not
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			a tough seer that you find in the
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			books It's not a tough seer that you
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			learn it's a tough seer that he went
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			through Personally and he's telling the story and
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			that's why it was so powerful and I
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			never really understood in that in Lahi.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:23
			We're in that e-mail.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			You're going to that level until I heard
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:30
			his story And when laws upon what Allah
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			tells us in the beginning of these verses
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			in surah al-baqarah When he says what
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			another one that we will certainly test you
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			He's gonna test us with what look at
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			the things that are mentioned here Be shame
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			in a little coffee.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			Well, you're he's gonna test you with fear
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			and something of hunger when oxen many I'm
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Wally what I'm pussy what's the marauds and
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			he will test you with having not having
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			sufficient when it comes to your money your
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			wealth and the summer of the fruit and
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			even losing those who are closest to us
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			and Allah said well, but shit is so
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			beady Give glad tidings to the Sabir in
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			Aladina either our father to Musiba to those
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			who when Affliction comes when it strikes.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			What do they say?
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			Here comes the implementation of true Iman.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			They say in Naliwa in Nailea radio.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			They say indeed we are from Allah to
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			him or return.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			What is the outcome?
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			What is result for these individuals?
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			Well, I am Salawa to me Robby him
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			or Ahmad what will I go home or
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			more to do?
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			These are the ones who have Salawat blessings
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			sent from Allah upon them and Rahma and
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			mercy and they will be the more to
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			do they will be the ones who are
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			the truly guided ones Some of you might
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			ask why do we start today's lecture with
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:56
			this story?
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			Clearly there's a lot of benefits in this
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			story, but the main objective is to show
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			That this type of Iman and this type
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			of implementation of the Quran can actually happen
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			even in the days that we live in
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:20
			because sometimes what happens is that We look
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			at these stories in the Quran The stories
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			in the Sunnah the stories of the Sahaba
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			the Salaf the early generations of the ummah
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			And we said that was back then when
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			they had strong Iman no one could do
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			that in the days that we live in
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			But this example that happened to our brother
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			dr.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			Tophiq It's something that happened in the days
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			that we live in something so powerful I
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			remember we had a conference in Dublin when
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			I met with him and I said with
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			him personally.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			He told me the story He said, you
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			know something amazing Shaykh.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			I said, what is that?
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			He said every single thing in the house
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			was completely destroyed by the fire except for
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:00
			two things the Masai of My children well,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			I'm telling you the story the hairs are
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			standing up on my body right now because
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			there's something I witnessed They went through myself.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			He was telling me the story.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			He said everything was burnt in the house
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			everything destroyed except for two things the Masai
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			that his family was memorizing the Quran from
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			and some Sadaqa some money paper money that
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			his daughter put her eye for Sadaqa somehow
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			wasn't burnt and Then he gave me the
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			Quran to see myself you could see the
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			burnt marks on the outside of the Quran
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			You could smell it.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			I took it and you could smell the
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			fire You could see where it was just
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			the outside of the pages, but it was
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			completely nothing happened to the Quran inside It
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			was amazing subhanAllah.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			This is a story from the days that
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			we live in So we look at these
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			stories that Allah mentions in the Quran To
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			find the guidance in it to find the
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			benefit from it We can truly implement it
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			today as we're gonna see in the story
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			of Maryam alayha salam, and why is it
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:55
			so important?
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			because nowadays when it comes to Psychological trauma
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			and dealing with these difficulties and this is
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			a new term by the way.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			It wasn't there Many years ago or the
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			beginning of Islam psychological trauma.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			There's a new term but dealing with it
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			was there Solving the problem of this psychological
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			trauma These emotional traumas it's there in the
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			Quran when Allah described the Quran for us
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			in Surah Yunus He said it's shifa lima
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			fi sudur.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			It's a cure for what is in the
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			hearts and he said in Surah Fussilat, qul
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			huwa lilladhina amanu hudan wa shifa and say
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			it is for those who believe Huda or
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			source of guidance and shifa.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			It's a cure So the Quran is there
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			as a cure and we look into Islam
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			because what happens to the Muslims today We
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			say that these new terms Psychological trauma, okay,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			where do we find the cure?
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			Let's go to the West.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			Let's see what professor John and dr Sally
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			the psychiatrist what they say and okay Let's
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			go to them and find solution and a
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			cure for them and let's go to a
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			psychiatrist and let's get some antidepressant medicine to
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			deal with these traumas While that might be
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			necessary in some cases The original the cure
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			we have it humble in the Quran If
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			we were to act upon what we have
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			in the Quran in the Sunnah, we would
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			find a cure for many of these things
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			So if you look for Islam an example
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			as an Islamic example an example We have
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			al-qadr al-iman bil-qadr one of
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			the pillars of Islam if we truly understood
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			that pillar In fact when the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			alayhi wa sallam, he said and to amin
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			bil-qadri khayrihi wa sharrihi It came in
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			the hadith of Jibril He said to believe
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			in the qadr the good and the bad
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			which comes from it If we really understood
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			that meaning we're gonna understand how to deal
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:56
			With trauma and calamities and difficulties and tests
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:56
			when it comes to us.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			We have a verse in the Quran one
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			verse That if we understood this verse It
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			would make it very easy for us to
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			deal with traumas and difficulties when they come
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			to us and there's many verses like this
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			In the Quran in the hadith of the
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			And in this story That we have in
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			the Quran the story of Maryam alayhi s
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			-salam, we're gonna see examples of that as
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:22
			well And subhanAllah even just listening to the
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			Quran is a cure It's a shifa and
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			this has been proven for Muslims and non
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			-muslims alike When they just listen to the
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			Quran how they feel good inside This is
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:37
			the power of the Quran Before we look
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			into the story of Maryam alayhi s-salam
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			The iman bil qadr The Prophet alayhi s
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:48
			-salatu wa s-salam Was with his young
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			cousin Abdullah ibn Abbas radiyallahu anhu ma'a
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			And he took it as an opportunity to
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			teach him a very valuable lesson A lesson
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			that we need to constantly remind ourselves of
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			and we need to teach our children as
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:03
			well He said ya Ghulam, oh young man
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			inni u'allimuka karimat.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			I'm going to teach you some words some
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:12
			advice I'm gonna give you Ihfadil la yahfadak,
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			to be mindful of Allah and Allah will
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:19
			protect you Ihfadil la Tajidhu tujahad, that if
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			you and be mindful of Allah, Allah will
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			be in front of you.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			He will be there for you Widha saalta
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:30
			fasallil la, and if you ask Only ask
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			from Allah, widha ista'anta fasta'in bil
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			la, and if you seek assistance only seek
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			the assistance of Allah Pure Tawheed, pure la
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:38
			ilaha illallah.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			This is the Tarbiyah and this is why
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			it's so important when you have this pure
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			Tawheed and that attachment to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			ta'ala and That Iman, the Qadr, the
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			good, the bad that comes from it.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			It's gonna help you when that Trauma comes,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			that calamity, that difficulty, when it hits you're
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			gonna be prepared but if you're far away
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Then
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			the trauma hits Then it becomes difficult.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			You can still find a way out with
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, alhamdulillah But it
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			becomes much more difficult to deal with it
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			Then he taught him a very very valuable
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			lesson after that, after that introduction He said
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			wa'lam anna al-ummata law ishtama'at
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			ala an yanfa'uka bil shay'in lan
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			yanfa'uka illa bil shay'in qad katabuhu
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			allahu ladin.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			He said and know that if the entire
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:31
			world Were to come together to benefit you
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			with something They couldn't benefit you with it
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			unless it's something that Allah has already decreed
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			for you wa'lam anna al-ummata law
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			ishtama'at ala an yanfa'uka bil shay
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			'in lan yanfa'uka illa bil shay'in
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			qad katabuhu allahu ladin.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			And to know that if the entire world
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			Were to come together to harm you with
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			something They couldn't harm you with something unless
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			Allah has already decreed it upon you And
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			then he said rufi'at al-aqlaam wa
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			jaffat al-suhu That the pins have been
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			raised and the ink has dried, khalas, this
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			is the qadr of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			And another narration of this hadith There are
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			six principles if you reflect on it When
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			he taught him He said ihfidh allah tajidhu
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			amamat That if you are mindful of Allah,
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			you will find him in front of you
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			We'll find it there for you And then
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			he said and pay attention to these quwa
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			'id, these principles laid out by the Prophet
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam He said Ta'arif
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			ala ila allah fi al-rakhaa ya'arifka
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:32
			fi shidda.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			He said to know Allah at the time
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			of ease and Allah will know you, he'll
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			be there for you at the time of
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44
			difficulty and This is why it's so important
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			to have that tawheed Because when the difficulty
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			comes when the trauma strikes and you know
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			that you've been working for Allah, Allah's gonna
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			be there to assist you He's gonna be
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			there to make it easy for it.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			Doesn't mean you're not gonna be tested The
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			anbiya were tested and they're the highest in
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			level of iman the sahaba were tested but
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			they found ease in that test or more
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			ease than others because of the fact that
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			they had that foundation of strong tawheed and
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			strong iman and Then he taught him another
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			very important principle Wa'allam anna ma akhtar
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20
			lam yakun li yaseebik Wa ma asabak lam
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:20
			yakun li yukhtir.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			That what you missed out on missed out
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			your failed opportunity He said it never would
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			have came to you in the first place
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			and that which be fell upon you that
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			what came to you You never would have
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			you never would have been able to avoid
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			it This is the qadr of Allah subhanahu
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			wa'ta'ala and when you have that iman
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			and you're ready when the calamity strikes you're
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			gonna be able to deal with it and
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			Then he said wa'allam anna nasr ma
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:50
			as-sabr and to know that victory It
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			comes through patience wa anna al-faraj ma
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:59
			al-qurb that the Relief comes after affliction.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			Wa anna ma al-usr yusra and that
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			after hardships comes ease But their foundation in
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			both of these narrations What was it having
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			that strong iman billah first of all and
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			then the iman del qadr and that's why
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			in the other hadith when the Prophet alayhi
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			salatu wasalam found a woman and She was
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:23
			crying On the grave of her young son
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			who had just died And no doubt that
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
			that as a parent is probably the most
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			tragic thing That a parent could ever face
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			losing his child, especially a young child at
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			that age As she's crying on the grave
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			The Prophet alayhi salatu wasalam he came behind
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			her to remind her about sabr and patience
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			This sahabiya not realizing who was behind her
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			she didn't realize it was the Prophet salallahu
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			alayhi wasalam She said alayka anni and he
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			said get away from me She said you
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			don't know What happened to me?
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			You don't know the difficulty that I'm facing
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			The Prophet alayhi salatu wasalam didn't say anything
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:02
			else to her and he went to the
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			masjid The people were around they heard this
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			they went over to do you know who
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			that was that was the Prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:12
			wasalam Obviously now the iman kicks in and
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			she felt bad and she remembered the reminder.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:19
			So she rushes to the masjid She rushes
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			to the masjid To seek forgiveness from the
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam and say I didn't
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			realize who you were What did the Prophet
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			alayhi salatu wasalam say to her?
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35
			innama sabru inda sadmatul ula That patience is
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			at the time of the affliction That's when
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			you really benefit that's true patience when it
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			hits But like we said the foundation has
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			to be there in order to help you
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			deal with it and we're gonna see that
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			and the story of Miriam very clear as
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			well and The story of Miriam before we
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			start in this story Who was Miriam alayhi
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			salam?
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			Allah subhana wata'ala describes her for us
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:03
			in the Quran And before I mention that
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			I want to mention something very beneficial that
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			one verse because you might have asked about
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			that I said there was one verse that
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			if we understood this it will be a
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			life changer for all of us when it
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			comes to dealing with difficulties and calamities and
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:19
			That came in Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 216
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			when Allah subhana wata'ala said kutiba alaykum
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			al qital It's been prescribed for you to
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			fight in the path of Allah subhana wata
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:33
			'ala Why it could be a great honor
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			to fight in the path of Allah subhana
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:39
			wata'ala generally speaking the nafs As a
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			human being you realize when you go to
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			fight there's gonna be two outcomes You're gonna
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			be victorious and come home to your family
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			or you're gonna die on the battlefield So
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			it's a situation that most people don't want
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			to be in because all of us we
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			want to live as long as we can
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			So Allah subhana wata'ala said kutiba alaykum
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			al qital wa huwa qurhun lakum.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			It's something disliked to you It's human nature
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			that we don't want to have to fight
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			unless we have to But then Allah said
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			something very powerful and take these as qawa
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			'it as principles in your life Allah subhana
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			wata'ala said wa asan takrahu shay'an
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			wa huwa khayru lakum that perhaps you dislike
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			something but it's actually better for you wa
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			asan tuhibbu shay'an wa huwa sharrun lakum
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			and that perhaps you love something But it's
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			actually better for you wa allahu ya'lamu
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			wa antum la ta'lamun and Allah knows
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			why you don't know If we understood this
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			subhanAllah if we understood the power of this
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			verse and wallahi I've sat with non-muslims
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			non-muslims and Talked to him about this
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			verse and they found it as a solution
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			for their problems because when you sit down
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:48
			and you reflect on the benefits That perhaps
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			it was really bad for you, even though
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			you wanted it something you really wanted But
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			it was actually bad for you something you
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			look at as being really horrible a calamity
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			But a lot of good came from it
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			How many people have gone through calamities?
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			But Allah subhana wata'ala then raised their
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			status and made them better Muslims and open
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			for them the doors of khairul hamdulillah So
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			you don't know where the good is Allah
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			knows where the good is and Allah puts
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			each one of us in a situation To
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			be tested in a different way But if
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			you're ready for it and you have this
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			iman then it's gonna make it easier to
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			deal with inshallah ta'ala And the story
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			of Maryam alayhis salaam Who was Maryam?
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:27
			This story and the Quran comes in the
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			beginning of the second half of the Quran
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			After surah al-kahf when Allah subhana wata
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			'ala mentioned the four main trials and tribulations
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			that face mankind every day the fitna of
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			the deen of our religion the fitna of
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			al-mal our wealth and of ilm of
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			knowledge and that of sulta of authority of
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:49
			being in charge and then after chapter 18
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:53
			surah al-kahf comes surah 19 Chapter 19
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:57
			surah Maryam alayhis salaam and in this surah
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			from verses 16 to 26 Allah talks about
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			the story that we're going to talk about
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:05
			today But before that who was Maryam alayhis
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			salaam Allah subhana wata'ala describes her in
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:11
			different ayat in the Quran in surah Ali
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			Imran chapter 3 in verses 42 and 43
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:26
			Allah says with Allah
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:30
			has chosen you and purified you and chosen
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			you above the women of the world O
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:37
			Maryam Allah has chosen you and purified you
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:37
			and chosen you above the women of the
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:42
			world O Maryam O Maryam To be someone
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:47
			who is Devotely obedient to your Rabb and
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			making sujood and rukoo and be with those
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			who are making rukoo and the other verse
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			in surah Al-ma'idah chapter 5 verse
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:01
			75 The verses before surah Ali Imran before
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			the birth of Isa alayhis salaam in this
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			verse after the birth of Isa alayhis salaam
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			What did Allah subhana wata'ala say about
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			her in surah Al-ma'idah chapter 5
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:14
			verse 75 And his mother was someone who
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			was Siddiqa a supporter of truth someone upon
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			truth Why is it so important to understand
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:19
			this?
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			Because this explains makes you understand as you're
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			about to enter into this story and to
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:28
			verse 16 of surah Maryam When Allah subhana
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			wata'ala tells us about this pious woman
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:35
			who has devoted herself for ibadah She's devoted
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			herself completely to ibadah.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			Allah told us wadhkur fil kitabi Maryam idhin
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:46
			tabadat min ahliha makanan sharqiyya To mention in
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			the book the story of Maryam if she
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			were to withdraw herself from her family towards
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:57
			the east Fattakhathat min doonihim hijabah She put
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			a screen between herself and them.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			So now picture the story.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:07
			She's devoted herself To ibadah Just like we
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			have an itikaf To seclusion to worship Allah
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			subhana wata'ala all of us need that
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			in our lives And this is the way
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			of the salihin of the pious.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			So here she is devoting herself worshiping Allah
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			subhana wata'ala What happens after that Allah
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			subhana wata'ala sends an angel who was
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:31
			Jibreel alayhis salaam When he said That also
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			we sent our angel to her and he
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			presented represented himself to her as a well
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:40
			-proportioned man and here in this story we
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			might focus on the first part that an
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			angel has come to her but a well
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			-proportioned man as Many of the scholars of
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			tafsir focused on that.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			He is someone who is handsome Here's a
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			woman who's not married and the handsome man
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			Has come to her and she's seclusion where
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			no one else is around very similar to
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			the story of who?
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:06
			story of who and in chapter 12 The
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			story of Yusuf alayhis salaam a young handsome
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			man or beautiful woman comes to him.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			He's an unmarried man What did he do
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			to find a way out Yusuf alayhis salaam?
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			What did he hold on to?
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			What did he say?
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:24
			Ma'azallah, I seek refuge in Allah the
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			same tool that Maryam alayhis salaam is going
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:31
			to use qalat inni a'udhu bir rahmani
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:34
			minka in kunti taqiyya She said I seek
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:38
			refuge in a Rahman From you in kunti
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			taqiyya and if you're someone who was pious
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			And this is the way of the believer
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			at the time of difficulty time of trauma
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			Immediately seek refuge to seek assistance to seek
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			a help from who from Allah subhanahu wa'ta
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			'ala to attach ourselves to Allah ma'azallah
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			huh, I Seek refuge and a Rahman from
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			you and she reminds him if you're someone
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			who's taqiyya if you have taqwa taqilla fear
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			Allah get away from me and Then he
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			comes and tells her and by the way
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			The real trauma in the story hasn't happened
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:08
			yet.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			This is just a scary part for her
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			in the story This is something that's put
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			her in fear The real trauma is about
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			to come and the verses that are coming
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			when she says when when Jibreel says to
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:23
			her Qala innama ana rasooli rabbiki li ahaba
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:26
			laki ghulaman zakiyya I am the messenger of
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			the Lord sent to you To give you
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			glad tidings of a pure boy meaning who
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:36
			is pure from sins Obviously here she's shocked.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:40
			She's astonished and she says Qala anna yakunu
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			li ghulam.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			How can I have a ghulam?
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			How can I have a child?
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			How can I have a boy?
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			Because the one who has a boy there's
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			two possibilities and she mentions both of them
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			here in the verse Wa lam yamsasni bashar
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			wa lam akum baghiyya.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			No man has ever touched me and I'm
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			not someone who's unchaste She's not someone who's
		
00:23:59 --> 00:23:59
			in haram.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			So how can she have a child?
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:07
			It's impossible Jibreel Jibreel says to her Qala
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:11
			kathaliki qala rabbuki huwa alayya hayy This is
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			what your Lord has said that it's upon
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			him hayy and it's something easy upon Allah
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			subhanahu wa ta'ala He's the one that
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			says kun fayakun, be and it will be
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			And then he mentions through the wisdom.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			You're about to go through this now this
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			difficulty, but there's wisdom in it Walina ja
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:31
			'aluhu ayatan lil nas wa rahma wa rahmatan
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			minna That we will make him an ayah,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			a sign for the people and a mercy
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			for the people Then he says to her
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			Once again the imam of qadr So we
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			hold firm and we believe alhamdulillah.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			Don't take it difficult.
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			Don't make it difficult upon yourself because he
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:49
			says Wa kana amran maqdiya That this is
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			something that has been decreed from Allah.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55
			This is what it is And then Jibreel
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			alayhi salam he blew An opening of her
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			garment and the breath went up into her
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			private part into her womb And then she
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			became pregnant like a woman becomes pregnant from
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:11
			a man After that Allah said That she
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			became pregnant with him and then she went
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			to a remote place, any far away from
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:21
			her family Until then the labor starts Now
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			picture the story as it's coming in the
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:26
			ayat A pious woman devoting herself, all of
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			a sudden becomes pregnant And no one's ever
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			touched her but she's pregnant.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:29
			It's from Allah.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			Who's going to believe her?
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			She's in this difficult going through the pregnancy,
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			being by herself Now she's in delivery.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			No one there with her.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:45
			All by herself That she goes against the
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			trunk of the palm tree as the pains
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			of the childbirth starts to hit She goes
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			up against the tree And imagine her emotional
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			state right now that she's going through Even
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			though she knows it's from Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			ta'ala How difficult is it?
		
00:25:59 --> 00:25:59
			No one there with her.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			What's she going to say to the people
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			when she comes back with this baby?
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:03
			What does she say?
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			She says subhanAllah I wish that I would
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			have died before this And I was just
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17
			someone who was in oblivion, forgotten This is
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			the situation that she's in.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:26
			How stressful it was But right away But
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:29
			he called her from beneath her and said
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			Do not become saddened.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35
			Don't grieve Who called her?
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			The scholars of Tassir said it was Jibreel
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			and some of them said it was Isa
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			himself The other one said he hadn't spoken
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			yet, so it was Jibreel Either or Don't
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:49
			become sad and do not grieve Allah has
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:54
			made underneath you a stream that's flowing He
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			said this stream had stopped flowing, it wasn't
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			flowing anymore There was no water and she
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:05
			looks down and there it is, flowing And
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:12
			shake the trunk of the date palm And
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			fresh dates will come down to you And
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			it wasn't the time of the fresh dates,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			but here Allah is providing for her from
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			his signs Then Allah said in the last
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:25
			verse of the story in 26 So eat
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:29
			and drink and be contented Be contented, meaning
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			with what you have Being contented with the
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			blessing of this child Being contented, meaning being
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			in a good emotional state And then he
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:42
			said That if you see anyone from humanity
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			So tell them that I have made another,
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			a vow to the most merciful That I
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:56
			will not speak to anyone I won't speak
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			to anyone And then the story comes after
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			obviously where Isa himself speaks to them From
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			this story, what do we gain?
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			How can this be a map for us
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			to deal with physical trauma when it hits?
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			From the foundation right away, as we mentioned
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:18
			earlier That it's something that's already been decreed
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			And we understand this, it's going to help
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			us deal with it Yes it's very difficult,
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			but it's going to make it much easier
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:28
			in dealing with it And then the sabr,
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			having the sabr in dealing with these difficulties
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			And being sincere to Allah subhana wa ta
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38
			'ala And these difficulties, they strengthen our faith
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			And they also attach our hearts to Allah
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			subhana wa ta'ala Because some trauma and
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:47
			some trials and tribulations, they're so difficult You
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			realize that the only way out is with
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			Allah subhana wa ta'ala How many people,
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			if you saw on social media I mentioned
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:59
			actually in a lecture in Malaysia recently About
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			a man who came to me after his
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			khutbah He was someone who was very successful
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			in the company in Microsoft And he had
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			had all the dunya And he said the
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			most beloved thing to him was his young
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			child, 5 years old And when he got
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			sick he said he was far from Allah
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			subhana wa ta'ala He didn't really believe
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			in Islam He used to make fun of
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			Islam and the Muslims Because he became a
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			successful engineer It went to his head Until
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			his son passed away at the age of
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:26
			5 When he passed away, everyone tried to
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			help him, console him Didn't work Then he
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			remembered who?
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			Allah subhana wa ta'ala He said I
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			knew that the only one who could help
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			me out was Allah He turned to Allah
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			and returned to Allah And attached his heart
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			to Allah And Allah made it easy for
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			him on the way Alhamdulillah And that brought
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			him back to the deen So a tragedy
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:47
			that makes you stronger Alhamdulillah Also from the
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			things that we gain from her story Is
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:55
			taking a temporary isolation To be by yourself
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			At the time of trauma You're going to
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:01
			be sometimes in a negative area The area
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			where you were where the problems happened And
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			that's why the hadith of the Prophet about
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:08
			the man who killed 99 people What did
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			he tell him as his solution?
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			He went to the abid who didn't have
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:14
			much knowledge of the deen And asked him
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:14
			can I have tawbah?
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16
			Can I repent to Allah subhana wa ta
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:16
			'ala?
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			He said no way You're a horrible person
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20
			you already committed 99 sins There's no way
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			out for you You already killed 99 people
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			There's no way out for you So what
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			did he do?
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			Obviously he has a problem with anger management
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:28
			this guy right?
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			Because he already killed 99 people So he
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			takes out his sword and makes him 100
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			Then he goes to the alim who understands
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			the deen Who knows Allah subhana wa ta
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			'ala He said of course What comes between
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			you and making tawbah?
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:45
			He said lakin but Innaka bi ardi su
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			Fadhabila ardi katha wa katha Fa inna fia
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51
			qawmun salihun Ya'budun Allah fa abudullah ma
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			'hum He said go to such and such
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			a land A different land He said because
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			there there are pious people who worship Allah
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			And he said go and worship Allah with
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			them So get out of the environment that
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:04
			you're in He was making tawbah So the
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06
			same mind said here she goes by herself
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			She's by herself What happens when we are
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:11
			alone by ourselves for some time If trauma
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:15
			hits We have the emotional management To be
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18
			able to deal with the overwhelming emotions Without
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21
			external triggers In everyday life The same problem
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:22
			that happened to you could be in that
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:27
			same area So we Temporary isolate ourselves Also
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			it helps us to reflect and raise self
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			-awareness Because sometimes When you reflect the trauma
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			that you're in The test that you're in
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			The reason behind it is what?
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:42
			Yourself It's us Allah told us that no
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			musibah Happens upon earth except for what?
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			That's what the people have done with their
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51
			own hands We're the ones behind it a
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			lot of the times So here when a
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			trauma happens And you reflect and you say
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:59
			Because of my sins Some of the salaf
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04
			They said something Very very deep about this
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:08
			They said that I see The impact of
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			my sins on the people in my house
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			When they change and how they deal with
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			them In the house They said I see
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:19
			the effects of my sins On my own
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			family And how they act when I sin
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			When I have shortcomings When not fulfilling what
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			I should be doing as a Muslim Even
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			one of them he said He said the
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			father He said the mouse that's in my
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			house I can see he changes what I'm
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			sinning for Subhanallah Where did he reach this?
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			On a deep contemplation On reflecting On why
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			he's in this situation Why is my family
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:37
			acting like this?
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			Look what I've been doing the last couple
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			of days I have been going to the
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			masjid I've been waking up late on the
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:47
			salat I've been doing this sin or this
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			Or watching this or doing that And then
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			he realizes that The sins that he's committing
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:54
			is having impact So that self reflection It
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56
			opens up So you might understand why you're
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			going through The test or the trauma that
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:00
			you're going through And as we said it
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			also helps us Healing spiritually Because you're going
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			to be closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			'ala When you isolate yourself As we saw
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			in her story And helps you reconnect Either
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			reconnect altogether Someone who's far away from Allah
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			subhanahu wa ta'ala Or someone who has
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			become weak It helps you reconnect And sometimes
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:22
			we attach ourselves To the creation And we
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25
			forget Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Just recently
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			I was looking for an upgrade in the
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			dunya Something good for me and my family
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:34
			Alhamdulillah And in order to get this upgrade
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			I just need someone to sign a paper
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:40
			inshallah And I'll get it And I knew
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41
			the perfect person to help me with this
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:44
			This guy, no one says no to him
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			So I talk to him and wait for
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49
			him He goes and he speaks to this
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			individual And we're considering that it's done, it's
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			finished And the guy comes back and he
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			says You know what, it's not really a
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			good time right now Maybe in the future
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			Subhanallah Right away what this reminds me of
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			I said to my wife I said we
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			made the biggest mistake I said we remind
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05
			the people We need to remind ourselves subhanallah
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:07
			That we forgot Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			We made a bit of du'a But
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			not as much as we should have been
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			making We relied on the strength of the
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:12
			people that we knew That was going to
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			happen So something like this sometimes It could
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			be a small thing You didn't get what
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			you wanted from the dunya It could be
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:22
			a musiba, a crisis Trauma, trial, tribulation, whatever
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			it may be It could be just to
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			remind you To return to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:28
			ta'ala To reconnect with Allah And that
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:31
			when you're isolated It helps you be able
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33
			to do that inshallah wa ta'ala Also
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			exiting in the circle of grief Because what
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:38
			happens to the individual When the trauma hits
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:44
			Is that Sometimes we despair Sometimes we despair
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:48
			And we start to give up hope And
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			this is the trick of shaytan Is what
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:52
			shaytan wants from us Because if you have
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:53
			hope You realize the only hope that I
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			have Is from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			So I want to connect myself with Allah
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:01
			I want to beg upon Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			ta'ala But if shaytan can get us
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			to give up And just be sad and
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:08
			despair And then just go take medications And
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10
			go to a counselor And be far away
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			from the deen This is what he wants
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:15
			He's become victorious And that's why the Qur
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18
			'an Focuses on this in detail In the
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:19
			sunnah of the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wasallam If
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			you look at the story of Yusuf a
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:24
			.s Yaqub is going through the difficulties That
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			he's going through Of losing his son And
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30
			still having hope Not giving up What does
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:31
			he tell his children?
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			وَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَوْحِ اللَّهِ Do not despair
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:37
			From the relief from Allah لماذا?
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:37
			Why?
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41
			إِنَّهُ لَا يَأْسُوا مِن رَوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:44
			الْكَافِرُونَ That no one despairs from The relief
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:46
			of Allah Except for the kafirun, the disbelievers
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			It's not the way of the believer to
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:51
			despair We always have hope And the story
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:53
			here We see that when Jibreel or Isa
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:56
			Whoever said it to him لا تَحْزَنِي Do
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58
			not become sad Don't give up And the
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			story of the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wasallam When
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			he was in the cave with Abu Bakr
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			as-Siddiq And if one of them looks
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			down Abu Bakr said If he just looks
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			at his feet He's going to see us
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			underneath They're going to get caught They're making
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14
			hijrah No, they're in a cave They're going
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			to get you You want it dead or
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:18
			alive In this situation What did the Prophet
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:19
			shallallahu alaihi wasallam say?
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:24
			لا تَحْزَنِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعْنَا Do not become
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			sad Do not grieve Why?
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			Indeed Allah is with us And what was
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:29
			the outcome of that Iman?
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:31
			What did Allah say?
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:35
			فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ السَّكِينَةُ عَلَيْهِ That Allah sent down
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:38
			His Sikina His tranquility upon him The same
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			thing in the story of Musa alayhi salam
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:45
			When he was caught Trapped The sea, the
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:47
			Bahar in front of him And Fir'aun
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			and his troops coming from behind him They
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			said إِنَّا لَا مُدْرَكُونَ Khalas, they're going to
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:54
			catch us now We're caught What did Musa
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:55
			say with the Iman?
		
00:36:55 --> 00:37:00
			He said قَالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعَيْ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينَ
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:03
			He said no He said indeed my Lord
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			is with me He's going to guide me
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			He's going to show me the way And
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:10
			subhanAllah Those of you who are with me
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			on social media You might have saw in
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15
			the last clip That I posted about two
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:17
			days ago The signs of Allah in Gaza
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20
			And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Grant
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			ease to our brothers and sisters in Gaza
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:24
			And in Syria and Sudan and all around
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:29
			the world I mentioned the impact of the
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			ayat And this I mentioned several times throughout
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:35
			this conflict And this genocide That we live
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			with the Quran Wallahi these ayat It's like
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:42
			it's being revealed about us As we're looking
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			at the situation I looked at the verse
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:48
			in Surah Al-Baqarah When Allah said مَسَّتْهُمُ
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:54
			الْبَأْسَاءُ وَضُرَّةٌ That they were touched By difficulty,
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:57
			by poverty And I'm seeing exactly what's happening
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			to our brothers and sisters وَزُلْزِلُوا And they
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:05
			were shaken And wallahi We've never seen anything
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:07
			like this What they're going through What did
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10
			Allah say after this in the ayah حَتَّى
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:16
			يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ مَتَنَصُ اللَّهُ It
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:19
			got so bad The affliction that they were
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:22
			going through That even the messenger Look at
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:25
			the level of Iman The messenger, Rasul And
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27
			those who believe with him They said مَتَنَصُ
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			اللَّهُ So wallahi this is the level we
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:33
			reached Because every time there's negotiations And خَلَاص
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			Our brothers and sisters are going to finally
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:38
			find some ease It fails It fails, it
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:41
			fails, it fails And it's just like wow,
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			this is never going to end And we
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:46
			started After about 14 months To start to
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			give up hope Just something that It goes
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			into the heart sometimes Even if you're someone
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53
			who's positive I try to always be positive
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:56
			But I'm thinking is this the end for
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			our brothers and sisters Maybe they're all going
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:01
			to be annihilated I don't know, subhanAllah مَتَنَصُ
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:05
			اللَّهُ Not realizing just as Allah told us
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:08
			in the ayah أَلَا إِنَّ نَصُّ اللَّهِ قَرِيدُ
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			That indeed the victory of Allah is close
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			And alhamdulilah right after that The victory came
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			May Allah make it continue يَا رُبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:17
			From the benefits that we gain from this
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:21
			story Is remembering the blessings The ni'mah that
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:25
			Allah has given us When trauma strikes When
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			difficulties strike We go through tests And we
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:30
			remember the blessings that we have Alhamdulilah makes
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:33
			it easier If we go through a difficulty
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:36
			And then I look at what happened to
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			my brothers and sisters in Gaza It makes
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			everything easy People said how was your flight
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:43
			coming here The worst flight I've ever had
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:46
			in my life Honestly Not gonna say oh
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			it was a great flight No it was
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:51
			horrible It was a horrible experience But even
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:53
			with that Even though if you look at
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:55
			the timings And there's no sleep Allah made
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:58
			it easy And on top of that when
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:04
			I see what happened Alhamdulilah No difficulty Alhamdulilah
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			It's a blessing in the end Compared to
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			what other people are going through And that
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:09
			was mentioned here in the story when you
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:12
			see قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتِ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ Allah
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			has made a stream flow under you So
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:17
			Alhamdulilah You're going through a difficult time but
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:18
			there's some good at it Look in the
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:20
			blessings that you have And this is one
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			of those powerful ways For us to deal
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25
			with trauma, with tribulations With difficulties, with fitna
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:27
			when it comes Is thinking about the blessings
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:29
			that we have Also from the things that
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			we gain from this story Is maintaining strength
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:34
			And not succumbing to weakness Don't give up
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:37
			to weakness and become weak And for us
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:39
			to do this As we said the foundation
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:41
			for this is faith And then taking the
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:46
			necessary means And action And that's exactly what
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:49
			was mentioned here In this story When right
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			after the delivery What did Allah tell her
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:54
			He told her a reminder about the Jibreel
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			or Isa said to her A reminder about
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			the stream coming under her, about the blessings
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:00
			And then right away وَهُزِّ إِلَيْكِ بِجِضْعِ النَّخْلَ
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:04
			Now to shake the tree So the rota
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05
			will come down for you What do we
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			gain from this Many times we might not
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:10
			think about this Because at the time And
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			this is one of the benefits from the
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:14
			story as well Is quickly addressing and rectifying
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:17
			the situation Realizing the situation It's a mosib,
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			it's a crisis But let's deal with it
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:21
			quickly so we can find a solution Because
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23
			what happens when trauma strikes When people go
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:28
			through a psychological trauma A psychological emotion Difficulties
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:31
			they're facing Two bad things happen to them
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:36
			First of all is The mental and emotional
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:40
			Impact that it has And secondly is what
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:45
			The physical side People stop eating They become
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:47
			depressed That's why right away in verse 26
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:52
			Allah said فَقُولِ وَشْرَبِي وَقَرِّ عَيْنَا That Allah
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:53
			said to her Eat and drink and be
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:56
			content Be happy with what you have Be
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:57
			content with what you have And eat and
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:59
			drink to stay strong Don't let yourself become
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			weak at the time of difficulty Physically as
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:04
			well And quickly inshallah as we wrap up
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:09
			Two other points Is that we seek Allah's
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:12
			help Through silence And putting our trust in
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:15
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Sometimes they say
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			it's better to go talk about it Maybe
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			at some times it is And to certain
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:21
			individuals but not about everyone So you see
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			that her silence At the time of trauma
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:25
			It was actually one of the solutions And
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:26
			if she had started to speak and talk
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			All of the things that were mentioned in
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:31
			the past The other benefits we mentioned There
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:33
			wouldn't have been much benefit in it But
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34
			the silence now helped her benefit from the
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			things That were mentioned in the past So
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:40
			silence sometimes can be the best cure And
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:43
			in the end Also having certainty That after
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:47
			hardships comes ease And after distress comes relief
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:51
			And subhanallah We see this very clear In
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:55
			her story Here's this pious woman Who went
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:57
			through this difficulty Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:59
			raised her status Until he called her a
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:02
			siddiqa She's a supporter of the truth Named
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			it a chapter in the Quran after that
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			we read until today And the Prophet as
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:08
			he said in the hadith Which came in
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:13
			Sahih Bukhari Many of the men Have reached
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:20
			perfection Many of men have reached perfection And
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:22
			there's no one from the women Who have
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:25
			reached perfection Except for two people he mentioned
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:31
			Maryam bint Imran and Asiya The wife of
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			Firoun Subhanallah So you see here that Allah
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:34
			subhanahu wa ta'ala Even though she went
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:36
			through this difficulty How he raised her status
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			when she had sabr and she had yaqeen
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:40
			This teaches all of us That as Allah
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:44
			told us in the Quran That after difficulty
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:47
			will come ease Allah knows best May Allah's
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:48
			peace, mercy, and blessings be upon the Prophet
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:50
			Muhammad And peace be upon you
