This world is full of a great diversity, it's full of different
situations. And that's actually what makes this world a kind of an
interesting place to live in. Because everything if everything
was just so predictable, and nothing stood up to chance or the
coder of Allah subhanaw taala and the typical duck deer and the
destiny, pre pre ordination from Allah subhanaw taala, then it
would become quite
a boring place to live in. So what we have is we have a lot of
disparities in this world, we have a lot of if the Latin difference
in this world, we have people who are rich, we have people who are
poor, we have people who have certain disabilities, and we have
yet other people who don't have disabilities. So we have a lot of
diversity in this world. And that's actually the nature of the
world. That's the way it is. And the sooner that people can
acknowledge that, understand that take that as their worldview and
within their worldview, then life in this world becomes easier to
live in. When a person thinks that everything has to be perfect.
That's when you get depression. Because when something goes
against what you think how something should be, then that is
when you start, there's a there's a difference between what you're
seeing. And there's a difference between what you're feeling and
desiring. And that is a very difficult thing to deal with.
Because if you think that something should be a particular
way, but it's not that way, then you can just see the kind of
tension that's going to create in your life. So if we don't
recognize that this world is going to have differences, ups and
downs, ebbs and flows, problems, good times, prosperity, adversity,
moments of thankfulness, moments of patience, then it's very hard
for such a person to live here. And believe me, you know, from the
questions that, you know, the discussions that we have with
people, and a lot of the questions that come about from people, a lot
of it is to do with this kind of situation. For example, recently,
a sister, she said that a person she was, they were having some
kind of communication with the family of a person that was
interested in marrying her. And it took a bit long, but the person
had said that he is going to, despite the complications he's
going to wait to, to marry her. And then she didn't hear back from
him for a while. And then after that, she discovered through
another source that he'd already been married elsewhere, that he's
already married elsewhere. And this really, really hurt her a
lot. Well, number one, so she wants now to be she's feeling
really bad, and her arguments are. But that's so bad to do to
somebody, I can't believe that somebody would do that to me. Why
would he do that? I feel so bad. I feel so let down. I feel so angry.
Of course. I mean, don't blame you for feeling angry. But you can't
feel angry about the fact that this is a possibility. Yeah, that
somebody did this to and somebody shouldn't do this, completely
understand. But if a person is feeling angry as to why did it
happen to me? Right, then that is wrong. Because at the end of the
day, what I explained was that not everybody is
not everybody always acts with somebody else's interest in mind
with goodwill towards somebody, you know, with thought process,
that I mean, at the end of the day, it could have been that maybe
the other person, the other side may have thought that it would not
be wise to, to contact because maybe they found somebody better.
Or maybe they discovered something that they didn't like in this
first proposal, whatever the case was, at the end of the day, what I
explained was that from a technical perspective, because you
weren't married and there was no proper promise of marriage, there
was no agreement, it was just that, yes, I'd like to marry you.
And you know, I'll wait or whatever it is, at the end of the
day, that's all it was. And one has to understand that situations
like this change in this world. And that's, that's what you call a
diversity that we live through. If we don't understand this
diversity, and you feel that it has to be a particular way and why
isn't it that way? Then you're really at the end of the day
that's just trying to go against
Is the grain of the reality. And that just doesn't happen, it
doesn't work that we are going to be losing at the end of it because
reality is more powerful than anything else. Reality is more
powerful than anything else. So if we want to challenge reality, then
that is just being completely absurd. It's essentially like
somebody stands at their doorstep. And they know that if I take a few
steps down the steps, I will enter my yard, I will basically step
into my yard. Now that's a reality. That's the reality that's
their, that's the way they're going to go. And that's what they
were going to see. But let's imagine that a person is in India
or Morocco or somewhere else, you know, where they allow train doors
to be open while the train is running. And the person is
standing there by the train. And this has happened so many times,
right, that I've seen this kind of situation where, you know, people
are just sitting there, at the doors of the train, the train, the
trains are moving at high speed. But just imagine that a person
who's sitting there with a skewed perspective, is imagining that
this is I'm standing at my doorstep, as I'm standing at my
doorstep and outside is
my yard. And if I step off, I'm going to step into my lush green
yard. Now, you can understand that he is challenging reality here,
this person is challenging reality here, and he is bound to fail is
going to go to his destruction. So this is although an extreme
example, but it really just shows how we need to work in this world,
especially when it comes to difficulties. When it comes to
difficulties, we need to start understanding reality is that we
can't take on reality, we can try to change the course and direction
of things by asking Allah subhanaw taala and doing different things.
But once something has taken place, you can't cry over spilt
milk, you have to manage that situation. And this will, if a
person has reliance in Allah subhanho wa Taala realizes that
Allah subhanaw taala can do as he wishes, and whatever he wishes
than a person, it'll make it very easy for the person to deal with
these kinds of situations. Otherwise, we're constantly
constantly fighting with what's happened, what's already happened,
and we're going to be crying over that. The one thing I told the
sister though is I said look, we're always told to do is that we
are told to learn from our situations, not to make the same
kind of mistakes again, so don't overly rely on people where you're
not you don't have to rely when a person is not married, there's no
obligation towards each other. Yes, it would be decent for the
person to have said look, you know, I'm breaking this off now
completely. And I don't expect this to work out at all because
you know, nothing had been agreed this was just a thing that okay,
you know, I will wait for you or something like that until the
complications disappear. But that would have been decent for the
person to have done or at least informed them that okay, we are no
longer interested at all. But it's a difficult situation. It's a
difficult situation and we need to get used to these kinds of
situations. So what I said is that what the prophets of Allah Islam
did say though, is allotment Allah Yun, the min jehlen, were hidden
Mortain a believer does not, is not bitten from the same hole
twice. So that shows that it's not necessary for a believer to to be
such a simpleton to be so simple that it gets he or she gets
walked over deceived over and over again, that's not the point of it.
That's not the point of it at all. A person should not be deceived,
and especially if they've been deceived once or they've been
bitten once from somewhere they should not be bitten again. You
know, it's a possibility that a believers will be bitten once from
somewhere but not twice, and definitely not three times. So we
have to learn from these situations.
The next point I want to speak about today that ties into all of
this is that with the diverse diversity that we have out there
with all of the differences that we have out there in the world,
the Prophet sallallahu sallam said one thing this is related from
from Sahib. Radi Allahu Anhu that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, I genuinely mean fame that Amara who could Allah who
will who hide what an astonishing state of affairs it is for the
believer, because whatever situation they find themselves in,
in this world, it's their own, always good for them in their
there's always good in there is always good in there. And then the
process that allows them explain that
well as a director in LA little moment, that this is only for the
believer, because it's only for the person who has believed in an
afterlife who believes in salvation, who believes in in
Jezza in reward in the afterlife, and who believes in matters coming
to be reckoned to in the afterlife and how everybody will be
definitely on an equal footing in the afterlife, that this is only
for that kind of a person for example, a person is walking
through for example, Euston station, right, and or walking
through, you know, any, any place where there's lots of like
diplomats or wealthy people or big businessmen walking through, and
he looks at the disparities thinking about the disparity
between different individuals, the poor and the
The rich, the weak, the influential, the people who are
making the laws for others sometimes, you know, to the
disadvantage of many people, and people who feel that they're the
underdogs that they can't get anything done. When he's walking
through this, he feels the sense all of these people who are booted
and suited and going around with these briefcases and looks at
these people and thinks, you know, I've got no place in this world.
Now, what is to give any kind of hope, comfort, solace to this kind
of individual, because this is the reality of the world that he's
living in. So what is it that's going to help this person to make
some sense of this life, to look forward to something else, it's
only a belief in the hereafter mankind, a human or Billahi, when
the old mill archaea, and the last day that that belief is so
important, that it's supposed to deal with all of these issues in
this world, because he knows that this is a world where Allah
subhanaw taala may have gave given disparity to different people
given for Donna about Muhammad, Allah been given some people more
than others, higher status than others. But when it comes to the
hereafter, everything will be judged according to what a person
has done with what Allah has given them or not given them. So there's
patients that require it from somebody who doesn't have and is
thankfulness that's required from somebody who does have. So when a
person is in that situation, he feels well, I've got a day of
judgment to go to where I'm going to stand there neutral with
everybody else, there's going to be no favors on that day, except
the one who's done good. And the virtue and good is open to the
wealthy and to the and to the poor, to the strong and the weak.
So just being good inside having reliance on Allah subhanaw taala
Tawakkol, thanking him and making lots of sugar that is open to both
the rich and the poor. It's open to everybody doing good wishing
well for people relying, relying on Allah subhanho wa taala,
keeping one's trust always in Allah subhanahu wa taala, trying
to think well through these situations, having strong Iman,
all of this is open to all sorts of people. I mean, this is a
universal kind of belief that anybody can have. So when a person
feels that way, and he reckons that there is a day that I'm going
to go to where everybody will be on equal footing and I can do my
own. Right, I can do my own because worship is free. At the
end of the day. Most worships are free except monetary worships. But
then there are many other non monetary non financial worships
that a person can do. Okay, if a person doesn't have enough for
Hajj, that's fine. There's other things that a person can do when
other people go for Hajj, there are fasting that he can keep doing
little hijab. There's many, many other things that a person can do.
So not everything has to be restricted. And not everything has
to be restricted to wealth. Yes, it does help. But then wealth also
comes with its own challenges. It's generally the people who have
lots of wealth that are going to spend it in facade, spend it If
sir, spend it in corrupting people in correcting themselves. When a
person has lots at their disposal. That's when they decide that they
can go out and splash money and go to Holland places for holidays,
haram forms of tourism, gambling, you know, all the rest of it, you
know, haram kind of indulgences. A person who doesn't have anything
who's just about surviving, not to say that they don't have these,
you know, they may not have these ideas in their mind, but they're
not able to do it. So at the end of the day, everything comes with
its challenges. Everything comes with its challenges. So the main
thing is about realizing the reality of the world, to
constantly realize that I still have Allah subhanaw taala I'm
going to be standing in front of you on the Day of Judgment, and
that's good. That's what's going to happen. That's what and
everything will be equal on that day because while I already am
Allah, Allah subhana wa Tada will not oppress anybody shader. Not at
all. He won't oppress anybody at all. So a few things that we need
to do which we understand prophets doing for example, when you look
at Ibrahim Ali salaam, Allah subhanho wa Taala says about
Ibrahim Ali Salman Surah to Nahal in the Ibrahima Corona, mitten
carnita, Villa Hanifa Windermere, communal Mushrikeen Shakira only a
neurone Shakira only and Romi estaba Hua hada, who in US are
Artemis takim. So Allah subhanaw taala speaks about Ibrahim alayhi
salam that he is always focused on Allah subhanho wa Taala he's
always worshiping Allah subhanho wa Taala he is not a mushrik he is
focused his his class, his sincerity is entirely for Allah
subhanho wa taala. And then the main thing I want to mention is
Shirkey are only a neurone he the sugar for the bounties that Allah
has given him now you know what kind of struggles Ibrahim and
Islam went through from having to leave where his family were, which
is from where his paternal family was, and his paternal maternal
family was yet to leave his father, Father, and go and my
emigrate from there because of the difference in creed and an
ideology and the shift that was going on there. He had to leave
that totally alone. He went with his nephew and then
After after he settles down yesterday, then go and desert his
family is his wife and his child that he'd gotten at a much older
age. So he went through numerous kinds of challenges, but Shakira
only enrollment only Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar on the types on the
bounties that Allah subhanaw taala had given him and that's why Allah
subhanaw taala says each diver who will have enough sera to stalk him
Allah subhanaw taala specially chose him and selected him and
guided him to the straight path about Noah Halle Salaam. Allah
says the reexamine Hammond Amma I knew that this was a group of
people that Allah subhanho wa Taala placed on that arc with new
hallelujah salon for their safety out of that flood. And then Allah
says in Now who can add them shakoora So despite the
difficulties in the hookah, I beat them shakoora That he was the
servant of Allah subhanho wa Taala was extremely gratitude who had a
lot of gratitude, a lot of gratitude, he he was extremely
grateful. So again, the gratefulness acid the gratitude
aspect comes in here. Then, Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah it'll
cover Nirma min andina near metta min andina katha, Lika Nazim and
Shakur, that this is a bounty from us. This is the bounties that we
give from our from from our side, how this is for cathodic energies
Iman Shakur, this is the way we reward those who are thankful.
This is the way we reward those who who expressed their gratitude,
who think Allah subhanho wa Taala and show proper gratitude shaytaan
in mentions about the shaytaan in the Quran, right shaytaan is
quoted in the Quran saying it in the home mean by any ad him woman
Kulfi him one Imani one Shama in him. So this is shaytans promise
to Allah subhanho wa Taala of how he's going to try to mislead the
people. So Allah says in surah, Allah are off quoting the shaytaan
semana at the end, the Khomeini ad him that I'm definitely going to
come and confront them from in front of them from in front of
them. And then Allah, Allah subhanaw taala says, and from
behind them, so the shaytaan is saying, I'm going to come and
confront them from in front of them from behind them from the
right and from their left,
while touchy, do a thorough homeshare Karim
and what he wants to do, he says, You will not find the majority of
them to be grateful, you will not find the majority of them to be
grateful. So that's the point here, gratitude, the absence of it
allows, opens the door to shaytaan shaytaan wants us not to have
gratitude, because once a person has gratitude for Allah subhanaw
taala it means he's connected to Allah, the Mercy of Allah, the
bounties of Allah sharing upon this person. And the greatest
bounty, one must realize is not worldly goods, the greatest
bounty, or the bow is the bounty that a person can have pious
children that they can leave behind. Right, children that are
satisfied with
a heart that's remembering Allah subhanaw taala Kenema La Ilaha
illa Allah on their deathbed, great place in the Hereafter, all
the stages of the Hereafter easy for them, fragrant grave and a
place of rest, full of light, no tightening. And then after that,
on the Day of Judgment, a great meeting with Allah subhanho wa
taala, and then a place in the high realms of Jannah. So that's,
that's basically what it is that a person needs. This is a story
that's related that once there's a man who
was blind, along with that he had no arms, no legs. Now, how much
worse can you be, you know, other than that, you'd be I mean, other
than that, the next stage is just death, because you've got no arms,
no legs, and the blind as well. On top of that, I've seen a person
with no arms and no legs, and he was dragging himself on his
stomach, dragging himself with his chin, with literally with his face
that his body is pushing his torso up, he's got no arms, he's got no
legs, but I think he had said, This person doesn't have sight.
And he's sitting there thanking Allah subhanaw taala he's saying
Alhamdulillah Hillary, Bernie Alhamdulillah Hillary I funny meme
Abdullah who be he mapped Hola, me Metalla be he lady Alhamdulillah
Allah the earth Bernie mipela Be he lady were for Balani Allah
cathedral women Holika Tov Lila, it's just such a
doer of tanks of sugar. It's filled with sugar. What he's
saying is all praises to Allah, who gave me wellbeing, who gave me
safety who saved me from that which he has afflicted, so and so
with all praises to Allah who has given me wellbeing from what he
has afflicted such and such a person with and he has given me
priority or preference
over so many other people in this world. Now this person who's
listening, there was a person who's listening to this individual
making this dua, and he is this astonished. He's taken aback
completely. He says, What does he have to thank Allah for? This was
his misunderstanding says, What does he have to think? Thank Allah
subhanaw taala for when he's losing his arms, his feet, he
can't see what else is there. So then he confronted him he says
that, yeah, what are you what are you making sugar for? What is your
thankfulness about what are you being grabbed earlier showing your
gratitude for? So this was his response? He says, Ash Kuru Allah
and what have any listen in the Quran. Please turn on the camera.
Will Kanban Harsha were Kanban Harsha were burdened an island
Bella Isabela. That's what he said. He said, I am thanking Allah
subhanho wa taala. Because he's given me a tongue that remembers
him. He's given me a tongue that remembers him. He's given me a
heart that is fearful of him that is reverently fearful of him. And
Allah subhanaw taala has given me a body that is able to persevere,
that is able to be patient on the difficulty and a kilometer Allah
subhanaw taala has afflicted with. So such a person even comes with
this kind of attitude. So at the end of the day, it shows that it's
about facing the reality, and recognizing what Allah subhanaw
taala wants from an individual. So what this means clearly is that
this person understood his reality, and understood that not
much is going to change here. This is how Allah subhanaw taala wants
me to be. But I can change this because to be honest, to have a
tongue which remembers Allah, and a body which is able to withstand
any difficulty that comes to it, and a heart that is reverently
connected to Allah subhanaw taala. That is better than having
anything else in this world. To be honest, we don't hope for just
that we hope for both. But to be honest, that is because when we go
back to our belief in the Hereafter, when he will go back to
belief in the earth clearer than we realize that that is where all
of this is going to be on benefits. The Reverend heart, the
the remembering tongue, and the persevering body, that's where
that's going to be a great benefit. And then after that for
endless eternity, for for absolutely lifelong, with no end,
that that is going to be a benefit to the person. When you equate
things that way, when you compare things that we know then you
understand, but of course, we don't ask Allah subhanaw taala to
put us put us into that kind of afflicted situation we asked for
it and well being but we ask for those for the tongue and for the
body which is thankful to Allah subhanaw taala that is the most
important thing another person came to this happens a lot a
person came to one of the one of the scholars or the owner of Allah
and he's complaining of adversities complaining that I
don't have any money. He's complaining complaining of his
masculine, his fucker is dead, his his he's been without money. He's
been without substance. Now, what is that a person comes and says,
Can you give me something to read that can help me give me Bonica
and so on, that's completely fine to look for, because that person
is in difficulty when wants to get out of it.
That's understandable. But what this Sheikh recognize that this
person was complaining of a situation now complaining or a
situation like why am I in this kind of situation? You know,
what's the problem? So it was a complaint as opposed to looking
for a solution. So the Sheikh said to him, that if you're, if your
hands were taken away, and you had a million did Hamza dinars or
pounds or whatever it may be, right, would you like that? Right?
Now you've got a you've got a toaster, nice, sound body, you've
got everything, you know, you're able able bodied in mind, etc.
Let's just imagine that your hands were taken away and you were given
a million. Would you like that? And the person thought, he says,
No, this is what happens if your eyes were taken away, and you had
2 million in place of it. He says, he thought about it. So no, no,
no, I'd rather keep my eyes. So he asked him a number of questions
like this, if you're, if your legs were taken away, and you were
given a million if this was taken or you're given a million, so he
he enumerated for him, he can't find all the benefits and the
bounties that he did have, we're in debt, we do Namath hola hola to
Suha and he gave the kind of value to him. And eventually the person
realized that he does have a lot and he still has potential to do
more. So it's all about being thankful to Allah subhanaw taala
what He has given for us and facing the reality of these
things, that is one of the most important thing they say that for
sugar, there are three fundamentals. Now we hear about
sugar all the time people you know orlimar tell us about sugar all
the time. I want to I just want to mention
as a as a you know, one of the final points as to what is sugar,
if Allah has given us something and he has given everybody
something, so we all have something or the other to be
thankful for what is required of us. So He says that there
are three elements there are three integrals of sugar, three cans of
sugar. One is that a person will tell off banana to recognize
essentially to recognize that Allah has given us something, this
will take away the complaint. So we recognize that we do have a
tariff been there, too confess realize, acknowledge the bounties
that we do have of Allah subhanho wa Taala Balticon insight insight
to recognize that truly inside and internally that we do have
bounties from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And at the same time, have
love for the one who gave them to us, which means to have love for
Allah subhanho wa taala. So to recognize the bounties are from
Allah subhanaw taala, Allah subhanho wa Taala has given us a
nice house to live in Allah subhanho wa Taala has given us
safety, Allah subhanaw taala has given the ability for our children
to have an education, Allah subhanaw taala has given us the
ability to eat the foods that we want to, to wear, the clothes that
we desire, all of these things are bounties for us. So that's number
number one. Number two, at the Hadith we have at the head of visa
vie Iran to openly declare them as well that Oh Allah subhanaw taala
is so I'm so grateful to Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah must be
praised for what He has given me to thank Allah subhanho wa Taala
to thank Allah subhanho wa Taala Massana and Allah with praising
Allah subhanaw taala
there's a there's a person who needed some money,
he needed some money. So he went to borrow from here and to ask a
few people if he can borrow money from them. So he must have asked
five, six different people. And what he noticed was that despite
the fact that these people were not well known to have money,
only one or two of them, the main minority of them actually thanked
Allah. So most of them would say, would make things up, like, Oh, my
money is all tied up, or I've got this issue that came up, despite
the fact that the person has lots of money, lots of assets, lots of
you know, real estate, whatever it may be the person, most of these
people, they were they were, they were they were basically making
excuses. They you did not see the thanks from Allah subhanaw taala
come from the and they were literally like hiding what they
have, right? Allah knows best of their situation. But this is what
the person mentioned that he felt there was only one or two people
who said, Look, I don't want to lie to you, Allah subhanaw taala
has given me so much Alhamdulillah Allah has given me so much, and
I'm glad that you've come to me, and inshallah I've tried to help
you out with something, right? But and there was another person who
said that Hamdulillah, Allah has given me a lot, I'm not able to
give you anything right now. But maybe Inshallah, in a few months
or something, I'll be able to give you something. But the sugar only
came from two out of those six or seven people that he spoke to, the
sugar only came from about two of those people, right, which is kind
of amazing, because at the end of the day all of these people have,
but there's very few people who actually make sugar, who actually
make sugar. And the second integral of it is not to show off
with your wealth, but to thank Allah subhanaw taala. And to thank
Allah for what one has given us. You don't have to tell people Oh,
Allah has given me this much of a bank balance. I mean, believe me,
I mean, what I say to people generally is that Allah has given
me everything that I want, and I can't ask for anything. Allah has
given me everything that I want. And I cannot Yes, there are things
that I may still want to have a desire for, for whatever reason,
but Allah has given me so much I can ask, seriously, you know, I
have so much I can't, I can't thank Allah subhanho wa Taala
enough, but the focus is on the bounties, then the less focus will
be on what we don't have. And that's what's important, then
Allah will give you even more and that's a wonderful thing because
Allah says Allah insha Allah as he then the committee, thank me, I'll
give you even more. This is what the Prophet stated they they
thanked Allah subhanaw taala number three, number three, which
is the most important one, which is the most important one, after
recognizing it in the heart, and after thanking Allah subhanaw
taala openly as well. Number three, is that Sophie thought
Atilla which is to spend it in the obedience of Allah subhanaw taala
What about Allah T and everything that satisfies Allah subhanaw
taala and above all, which the Naboo ma see, and not to spend it
in the disobedience of Allah subhanaw taala This is where a lot
of people fail. When they get money, as they say basic you must
be the mystery for money, right? This is what happens when people
get too much money, then then they have the ability to go and spend
it in the Haram then they get ideas shaitaan comes and gives
them different ideas. So that's that's the issue here. That is one
of the most important things we need to realize that we could not
be using.
The wealth that Allah subhanaw taala has been has given us and we
should think to ourselves and even thinking that way that this is
wealth that Allah has given us. I can't use this in the Haram. It's
not allowed for me and Allah could take it away from me. And so
Hello hola this has been an occurrence on many occasions that
Allah has taken things away from people when they did that. Above
all the final point is, Allah says in the Quran, Maya Allah Allah who
will be either be cool in Chicago and to walk around Allah will show
Kevin Idema which is my f and Allah will be either become What
