Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07

ala say you didn't want saline water the early he was Safi about

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11

a coastal limit the Sleeman cathedral Ilario Medina Amma beret

00:00:13 --> 00:00:18

and Omaha CB says was Starmie lillahi, Aquila, kabhi, Turkey, VT

00:00:19 --> 00:00:25

was Tammy Lilla he iClicker be targeted. We were staring below

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

here Allah sorrowful makadi.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:34

He says that, for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala use your

00:00:34 --> 00:00:34

uncle

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

by abandoning

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

too much planning.

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

Now it sounds I mean, what does that mean? Right? So what that

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

means is, don't

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

rely

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

on

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

just the planning of your intelligence

00:00:57 --> 00:01:05

fully, do not fully and completely just rely on what your intellect

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

says about something

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

that you think it's like this, or you think this is how it's

00:01:10 --> 00:01:15

supposed to be. Because Farrell, actually who do don't

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

the intellect has a certain jurisdiction beyond which it can't

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

go, you know, it has a certain reach

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

you and the he Basa rule are clear in

00:01:29 --> 00:01:34

the sight of the intellect, the vision of the intellect as such,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

there is a limit at which it stops, it cannot penetrate. Beyond

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

that. We're in nama Aliko ously mooloolah he fitted bat he made up

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

the bill as viability America beha. So

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

you have to fully submit to Allah subhanaw taala

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

in his planning

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

with regards to his planning,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:05

while adopting all the means that you need, that He has commanded

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

you to do so.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12

So let's untangle that a bit. What he's saying is that you have to

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

take whatever means that we have to take in this world because this

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

world is in a boat of means and hence we have to use us Bob as

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

much as possible wherever possible.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

But we have to be fully submitted to Allah subhanaw taala in terms

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

of what he has actually planned,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

in terms of what the result may be, the consequences may be, I am

00:02:34 --> 00:02:40

going to use all my efforts to try to get this to happen, or to try

00:02:40 --> 00:02:45

to attain this or acquire that. But I must be fully submitted that

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

at the end of the day, Allah also has a plan. And I've always got

00:02:49 --> 00:02:53

that at the back of my mind. And that is my insurance basically, in

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

the sense that if whatever I do, I've put all my effort and we

00:02:56 --> 00:03:00

should put all of our effort in there completely and entirely. But

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

if something does go wrong, and it doesn't materialize the way I

00:03:03 --> 00:03:07

think it should do the way my my uncle tells me that it should do,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

then I know that that's because I have to fully submit to Allah and

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

he has a grand plan in which this particular way is not the best

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

way.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:23

So somebody goes with his son or his daughter for a proposal. And

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

his son or daughter has huge potential huge qualifications, all

00:03:28 --> 00:03:33

the qualities that he thinks somebody would snap up instantly.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

It's a deal. Why not? But then he gets rejected.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

said we'll tell you, we'll We'll think about it. So as soon as they

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

say we'll think about it he expected like yes, yes, yes,

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

definitely when you want to do the vetting? straightaway, you know,

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

because you think it's such a good deal. You don't want it to go, he

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

expects them to react like that. They say, Okay, well think about

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

it, I immediately that dampens your entire, you know, ambition,

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02

and your your thoughts and dashes your wishes. And then after a

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

week, they still don't respond to you. And that makes it even worse,

00:04:05 --> 00:04:10

because sometimes, you know, waiting is worse than death.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

And then eventually you have to ask them. Okay, so what do you

00:04:15 --> 00:04:20

think you It humbles you to do that? It makes you humble, you

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

know, it forces you to be humbled.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

And of course, you've gone to them because of the idea that they are

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

a suitable match and you want them as much as you think they want you

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

but in your mind, you think that you have more value than they have

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

to offer?

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

So eventually, when you contact them, and they say no, we

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

discussed it, but there's this issue and that issue. Now what

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

so if we do understand at the back of it that Allah subhanaw taala

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

has a grand plan and this particular method did not feature

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

well inside there. And that's why it didn't happen, then would you

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

feel bad about it, you won't feel too bad about it. You think are

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

hamdulillah then Allah will give me something better. When you

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

start doing that, then you start relying on Allah

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

100 watada more. But if you didn't have Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

featured in this in any way whatsoever, then you will feel

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

extremely lost, dejected.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

So meta forward will Amara la he SubhanaHu wa Kiba, tema, UCAT, the

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

Rue La caminata in our Herrmann exactly what I said,

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

then after that, you know, once you've done the ASVAB, and you've

00:05:22 --> 00:05:26

submitted to Allah as well, then some are tougher with all umbra,

00:05:26 --> 00:05:29

then you consign your message to Allah subhanaw taala, in terms of

00:05:29 --> 00:05:34

the consequence of what he will have planned for you, or what He

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

has planned for you,

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

in either giving you that or in depriving you of that, I thought,

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

oh, Herrmann is one of those two.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:47

For in who, why, why should we think this for inner who are

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

hameau becoming sick, because Allah subhanaw taala is actually

00:05:50 --> 00:05:54

more merciful to you, than your own self to yourself.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

That takes a while for us to understand if we've, you have to

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

really be selfless, and really have a lot of reliance on Allah to

00:06:02 --> 00:06:10

be able to think that way. How can Allah be more merciful to me, than

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

me for myself?

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

You know, generally we think that we are the greatest well wishes

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

for ourselves.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:23

But we realize that we're not, when you start thinking about it,

00:06:23 --> 00:06:27

we actually realize we're not because what happens is, we

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

realize that when we commit a sin become overpowered that by our

00:06:30 --> 00:06:35

shower and desire, and we then realize that the that is actually

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

blasphemy, that is actually disobedience, then, where we

00:06:39 --> 00:06:43

really good for ourselves, we indulge ourselves, it's like the,

00:06:43 --> 00:06:47

the parents who are feeding their children in parties or giving them

00:06:47 --> 00:06:52

bits of wine and, you know, the young teenagers, right? Or they're

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

letting you know, maybe maybe they're in to drugs or something.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

And they're allowing their children to be part of that,

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

thinking, what's the big deal? Right, thinking that making them

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

open minded, and so on, that they can dabble in all of these things.

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

And then after that, they realized one day that it's been so harmful.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

They've allowed their children to go out and do this, that on the

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

other, and then they realized that I wasn't indulging them, I was

00:07:15 --> 00:07:15

actually

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

making monsters out of them. So it's that kind of the thoughts.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

Because Allah doesn't fall to any emotion. Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

doesn't become prey to any pressures or forces. He is the

00:07:30 --> 00:07:34

perfect planner, he understands he knows where we fit in terms of the

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

grand scheme of things. He knows that if you don't get this, but

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

you get the other thing, which you thought was bad for you, that will

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

actually turn out to be better for you in the long run. There's so

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

many of these kinds of things.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

We've got quite a few Kitabi Hill Karim Allah Who Yeah, and the more

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

into military, the moon.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

And Allah subhanaw taala says in his book, in the Quran, and Allah

00:07:56 --> 00:08:01

subhanho wa Taala knows, and you do not know, is a very interesting

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

story that I came across the other day, an incident actually about

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

hedge, which Subhanallah it's just

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

amazing. There was a

00:08:11 --> 00:08:16

person called Saeed is sitting in the airport. After finishing his

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

head, you know, and you have to go and sit and wait on your way out

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

and hope that your flight is going to be at the time that they say

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

and did the airport coming back that's that suits you out and

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

purifies any other remaining sins that we have that we haven't been

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

forgiven? And how did the airport's does that for you?

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

Right? It pre washes you and they're not supposed to wash. So

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

when you go into pre washes you write gets you prepared and

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

everything. And then after that when you leave, then it gives you

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

a post wash as well post rinse, just to make sure that everything

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

is fine on the Rila

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

how else are you going to think about it, otherwise, it is so

00:08:50 --> 00:08:55

frustrating. We are standing in that line for hours line, not

00:08:55 --> 00:08:59

sitting down, but you're standing in line for hours. And then you're

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

standing there and you expect that your flight will be next and then

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

somebody brings somebody else's line and goes in front of you. And

00:09:04 --> 00:09:08

for three 400 people they've got one scanner, and they put

00:09:08 --> 00:09:09

everybody through it.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

And this is Saudi Arabia, you know and you think Subhan Allah and

00:09:12 --> 00:09:16

then you just think, alas this must be a post, you know, post

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

rinse just to finish everything off. So anyway, sorry. They're

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

sitting at the waiting area in Jeddah airport. And of course next

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

to him is another person who just completed the Hajj. So the man

00:09:27 --> 00:09:33

next to him, he says, I work as a contractor and Allah subhanaw

00:09:33 --> 00:09:37

taala mashallah, you know, make contractor who sounds like

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

somebody from India, Pakistan or something, you know, like

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

contractor is a big job. You get more money out of that, and this

00:09:42 --> 00:09:43

is my 10th hedge.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

This is my 10th hedge

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

because in the West we don't really think about what job as

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

long as you got the money Halas because everybody's got money

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

here. But in those countries generally it depends on your job.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

You know, I work for the government. I'm a civil servant or

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

something that means that

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

askeaton hace Unison but here, it doesn't make doesn't make a

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

difference whether you're signing I mean this is the same thing you

00:10:06 --> 00:10:10

live and go for Hajj. Subhanallah Jeeva Allah Allah has given us

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

Allah Tala allow us to use it properly.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

So he said this is my 10th Hajj. So this brother sir Ed says to him

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21

hijab rule may Allah accept forgive you. So the minds demand

00:10:21 --> 00:10:25

smiles. And he says, I mean, then he said, Have you performed Hajj

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

before this time? Like, is this your first Hajj? Have you

00:10:28 --> 00:10:32

performed Hajj before this? And this poor sorry, the he's

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

hesitating to tell him this, you know, to tell him. And then he

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

says, It's a long story. And I don't want to bore you with my

00:10:39 --> 00:10:44

story. Right about my past. So the man laughs and he says, Look, just

00:10:44 --> 00:10:48

tell me, right? We got nothing to do. We're still waiting anyway.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

So say smiles and he says,

00:10:52 --> 00:10:56

waiting is the start of my story. This is the story of my life to be

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

waiting is a story of my life. Anyway, I've been waiting for

00:10:59 --> 00:11:04

years, so that I can go to hutch, as it did. Everybody who goes to

00:11:04 --> 00:11:09

hajj has a very individual unique story that Allah knows everybody

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11

and he gives everybody accordingly.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:16

He says after working for 30 years as a physiotherapist, right in a

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

private hospital,

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

I was able to finally save enough money to go for Hajj.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:32

When I went to get my final salary before the Hajj, I get my salary.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:37

I came across one of the mothers who's got a paralyzed son, and

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

I've been treating him paralyzed son.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

And I could see that her face is very worried and anxious.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:49

And she said, she saw that, you know, she knew I was going for

00:11:49 --> 00:11:53

Hajj. So So I leave you to Allah's keeping? Right?

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

No, I don't think No, I don't think she knew he was going for

00:11:56 --> 00:12:00

Hajj. She just said to she said to him, that this is probably the

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02

last time I'm going to be able to see you at this hospital. Right.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

Now there were ongoing treatment that they used to do. And there

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

was some benefit in that treatment as well. But she said this is the

00:12:08 --> 00:12:12

last time I'm going to see you. So I was surprised why she's saying

00:12:12 --> 00:12:16

that? Because I thought maybe she's not happy with my treatment.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

And that's why she wants to now move to another hospital.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:25

So then she said, No, no, that's not the reason. Allah is a witness

00:12:26 --> 00:12:30

that you have treated my son like a, like a father, you know, you've

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

been like a father to my son. And you've helped him in his treatment

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

when we pretty much lost all hope.

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

And then after that she left.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

So this person who is sitting next to he says, that's strange if she

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

was pleased with your treatment,

00:12:47 --> 00:12:51

then why did she leave? You know, it's a question that maybe his

00:12:51 --> 00:12:55

second is doubting her. So say it said, That's what I thought too,

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

at the time that maybe she's just giving me an excuse to make me

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

feel good. But otherwise, she's going. So then I went to the

00:13:00 --> 00:13:03

administration to find out what really happened, what's her notes,

00:13:03 --> 00:13:08

what she's saying. They told me that the this, her husband had

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

actually lost his job. And because his he lost his job, he was unable

00:13:13 --> 00:13:17

to continue paying for his son's treatment. And believe me, this is

00:13:17 --> 00:13:21

a reality in most countries of the worlds, except in some countries

00:13:21 --> 00:13:24

in Europe, where we have this system where you know, nobody is

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

going to be turned away from hospitals. And we keep complaining

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

that it takes five hours and six hours, right? I've been in America

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

where I've had to pay huge amounts of money for this kind of stuff.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

Right? Unless you have insurance, and even then you pay money even

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38

if you have insurance.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

So this is an absolute blessing.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

The man said that

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

how poor they are, you know, how did you deal with that issue? So

00:13:49 --> 00:13:53

say he says that I went to the manager of the department the

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

hospital and I pleaded with him to continue treating the boy at the

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

hospital expense. Like you know, Loki is doing well. So you must

00:14:00 --> 00:14:03

have some kind of charity or some kind of funding that you can do

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

this with. But he said no, this is a private institution. We don't

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

know charity. That's how these hospitals are they just after your

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

money most of the time because that's big money making business

00:14:13 --> 00:14:17

that is. So he said I left the I left this office, really

00:14:17 --> 00:14:21

heartbroken, really feeling bad. Then I suddenly realized I put my

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

hands in my pocket and I had all my budget money in my pocket

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27

because I was going to be probably going to go and pay his ticket or

00:14:27 --> 00:14:31

whatever. He's just got a salary. So I stood for a while thinking

00:14:31 --> 00:14:35

should I shouldn't i? And then I said Oh Allah, I talked to my

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

Allah and I said, Oh Allah.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:41

You know how I feel. And you know, there is nothing more beloved to

00:14:41 --> 00:14:46

me than for me to go to your house and to do Hajj and to visit your

00:14:46 --> 00:14:50

messengers Masjid is something I've been obviously saving for a

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

huge amount of time and when you finally got it, and you're gonna

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

get it, it's not like okay, I've saved up enough for that new TV

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

sets for that new car. This is going for Hajj. You know,

00:14:59 --> 00:14:59

something that you know

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

You have to do once, you know at least. And he says, you know that

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

I've been working all my life for this moment.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

But I feel that this lady should,

00:15:11 --> 00:15:15

and her son, they should get the treatment. So don't deprive me of

00:15:15 --> 00:15:21

your favors. This is what you call submitting to Allah. Don't deprive

00:15:21 --> 00:15:25

me of your favorite he can see his open Allah is trusting Allah. But

00:15:25 --> 00:15:30

he is taking the leap. Allah wants to see us take the leap, suspend

00:15:30 --> 00:15:36

ourselves, risk ourself, put ourselves over our comfort zone.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:40

And then he will give allowance to see that tipping point.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:45

I went to the accounts desk and I paid all I had for his treatments,

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

which covered the next six months, that was six months of treatment.

00:15:49 --> 00:15:54

And I then begged the accountant, the finance office to just let the

00:15:54 --> 00:15:58

lady know that this is something the hospital had come up with for

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

us for special cases. And not to tell them it's me.

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

Now this person next door, who is who's listening to him, is

00:16:07 --> 00:16:14

obviously very affected by this. And he has tears in his eyes. He

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

says you know, Barack, Allah fake, you know that Allah subhanaw taala

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

that there are people like you.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:24

But the person is a very curious person. So he says to him, If you

00:16:24 --> 00:16:27

donated all the money, how are you here today, then you're just

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

finished your hedge? How have you finished your hedge them?

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

Suicide said that well, I went back to my house and that day.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

I was very sad, obviously, for having lost the opportunity of a

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

lifetime for doing damage.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:47

But on the other hand, my heart was actually filled with happiness

00:16:47 --> 00:16:53

that removed the distress from the lady and her son. Now just imagine

00:16:53 --> 00:16:58

yourself in this situation, you have two conflicting emotions that

00:16:58 --> 00:17:02

are fighting with each other in your mind. One is something that

00:17:02 --> 00:17:08

you've been wishing, desiring, planning working towards, for, for

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

as long as you can remember to go for Hajj. And you know, when

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

you've had this desire to see someone to see something, and that

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

be Allah, you know, with all the Iman that you have, then you can

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

imagine what kind of pressure that is on you. You know, and then now

00:17:21 --> 00:17:24

you've just given that money away, you thought you were so close, and

00:17:24 --> 00:17:28

then you suddenly gave it away. And on the other hand, you've just

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

really satisfied somebody and if you're a caring soul as this

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

doctor seems to be, then

00:17:35 --> 00:17:39

it brings you a lot of relief. But is your sadness greater? Or is

00:17:39 --> 00:17:40

your relief greater?

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

They're vying and competing with each other. So we talk about

00:17:44 --> 00:17:49

conflicting emotions. This is where most people fail. This is

00:17:49 --> 00:17:53

where most people fail the test. These are the tests in our life,

00:17:53 --> 00:17:58

conflicting emotions. Do I get this minus once it? No, you

00:17:58 --> 00:18:02

shouldn't get it because it's haram. This is the conflicting

00:18:02 --> 00:18:05

emotion. Now think about anything you want. But these are the

00:18:05 --> 00:18:09

emotions will be this type of an emotion that will be fighting

00:18:09 --> 00:18:13

within us. We have to strengthen the side that will help us to be

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

closer to Rasulullah sallallahu something disregard

00:18:17 --> 00:18:18

so he said that

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

I slept that night with a tear on my cheek.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

I had a dream and I was making thought of her on the cover I mean

00:18:28 --> 00:18:33

Subhanallah you could say that he you know, whatever thoughts you

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

have in your in your data and that's what you see at night so

00:18:35 --> 00:18:38

you can just pass it off as that that he had thought of he was

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

doing tawaf around the Kaaba and people were saying salaam to me.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

And you were telling me hajima Bourassa EADS

00:18:46 --> 00:18:50

for you have performed Hajj in the heavens before you performed hajj

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

on the earth.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

Now I take this as the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, you know

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

that sometimes somebody praises you, you know, like somebody comes

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

in praise you for something good. You've done. That is still Karachi

00:19:01 --> 00:19:05

to Bushnell movement, that is the advanced glad tidings that a

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08

believer receives sometimes that's from others. Now here he is

00:19:08 --> 00:19:12

receiving in his dream. Now if he just saw himself in tawaf, you

00:19:12 --> 00:19:16

could say that this is just his thoughts, playing with his mind.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:19

But this additional aspect that somebody tells him that you your

00:19:19 --> 00:19:22

Hajj has been performed in the heavens before you performed hajj

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

on the earth, he never thought about this. This is definitely

00:19:24 --> 00:19:27

something not from the shaytaan show. You don't want to do

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

something like that. Right? I immediately woke up

00:19:32 --> 00:19:36

and felt an indescribable happiness. This is what you call

00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

being from Allah when you've consigned yourself to Allah. This

00:19:38 --> 00:19:42

is the kind of happiness it gives you. physically doing something or

00:19:42 --> 00:19:46

not, is a totally different thing to when Allah satisfies you with

00:19:46 --> 00:19:51

something and you are spiritually satisfied. I praise Allah for

00:19:51 --> 00:19:55

everything. And I was then pleased by his decrease so then I no

00:19:55 --> 00:19:59

longer felt as bad as it was. When I got up from my sleep. My phone

00:19:59 --> 00:19:59

rang

00:20:01 --> 00:20:05

In the hospitals manager, he called he told me that

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

the owner of the home remember this is a private hospital so they

00:20:08 --> 00:20:12

have an owner. The owner of the hospital wants to go for Hajj this

00:20:12 --> 00:20:12

year.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

And he wanted to take his personal therapist with him. But the

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

personal therapist is unable to go because his wife is expecting

00:20:22 --> 00:20:27

the personal therapist wife is expecting that means a personal

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

therapist cannot go because she's due final days of pregnancy he

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

can't leave her

00:20:33 --> 00:20:37

Would you do me a favor? Would you accompany him on the Hajj

00:20:40 --> 00:20:44

this is obviously I could not believe it. I made such the of

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

sugar to Allah.

00:20:47 --> 00:20:48

And

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

it's almost like Allah had granted me a free Hajj without having to

00:20:52 --> 00:20:52

pay anything.

00:20:56 --> 00:21:00

After that, he says, the owner of the hospital he even

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

insisted on giving me something to accompany him like a wage, you

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

know, for accompanying him. But then I told him the story of the

00:21:07 --> 00:21:08

lady and her son.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

And then he demanded when he heard the story, you know, when you're

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

going for Hajj, it softens your heart.

00:21:18 --> 00:21:21

So when I told him the story of the lady and her son,

00:21:22 --> 00:21:26

he demanded that the boy be treated at the hospital from his

00:21:26 --> 00:21:30

own expenses, meaning from the managers expenses, not the

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

manager, sorry, the owners expenses. And then after that,

00:21:33 --> 00:21:37

what he did was he placed a donation box in the hospital for

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

the treatment of needy patients, so anybody can donate in there,

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

and then we will use this fund eventually.

00:21:42 --> 00:21:48

And on top of that, he gave the father of the son of this boy, a

00:21:48 --> 00:21:49

job in one of his companies.

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

He even returned the money I had initially spent for the boys

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

treatment.

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

What a story.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:06

Furby a rugby coma took as the bomb, which of the favours of your

00:22:06 --> 00:22:06

Lord, will You then

00:22:08 --> 00:22:08

did I,

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

the man next to him, hugged him and just just told him that

00:22:13 --> 00:22:18

Subhanallah never felt this kind of shyness that I'm feeling now.

00:22:21 --> 00:22:25

I've been performing Hajj one year after the next. And I thought I

00:22:25 --> 00:22:28

was doing something great. I had the money I could do it. I thought

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

I was doing something great.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:34

And that my place with Allah would be elevated as a result of it.

00:22:36 --> 00:22:40

I've never seen a dream. Never seen any signs of acceptance like

00:22:40 --> 00:22:44

that. But now I understand that with this one Hajj of yours is

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

equivalent to 1000 of mine.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:52

I went to the house of Allah, I paid my way to the house of Allah,

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

but Allah invited you to his house.

00:22:56 --> 00:22:57

May Allah accept your church

00:22:59 --> 00:23:03

for his one act of kindness in that conflicting moment of

00:23:03 --> 00:23:08

emotions, the benefit is that it benefits so many people that one

00:23:09 --> 00:23:13

act of kindness, it has benefited so many people because it brought

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

up the case of the person he had to do the one act of kindness.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:20

Then Allah just set everything in motion in Allah Allah EULA Euro

00:23:20 --> 00:23:24

Marga. Coleman had the euro, euro, maybe unforeseen, Allah subhanaw

00:23:24 --> 00:23:28

taala doesn't change people until they start making that change. And

00:23:28 --> 00:23:31

then after that, he just sends a shower of change, a shower of

00:23:31 --> 00:23:35

benefits. So he started off by making this very difficult, very,

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

very difficult Believe me, that's a very difficult decision to make.

00:23:38 --> 00:23:41

Forget hudge if it was anything else, you probably would find it

00:23:41 --> 00:23:44

difficult to give that money up. Very few will give money up like

00:23:44 --> 00:23:47

this, right? For something else like this in which is going to be

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

a thankless job, nobody's going to thank you for it except the

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

person. It's not like for the world is it? You're not going to

00:23:51 --> 00:23:55

put it in into the papers. But then the benefit is that this gag

00:23:56 --> 00:24:00

this kids get gets treated not for six months, but for you know, as

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

long as he needs his father gets a job. He gets his money back. He

00:24:05 --> 00:24:08

sees this dream of acceptance from Allah subhanaw taala you know, can

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

you see the whole chain of events?

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

That's a chain of events we're talking about.

00:24:15 --> 00:24:19

Just for this one act of kindness. And that's why Allah subhanaw

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

taala says in the Quran, are tall and a higher homage Ruth.

00:24:24 --> 00:24:28

This is a gift from Allah you know when he says that Medina certainly

00:24:28 --> 00:24:32

do fulfill agenda at the Holiday Inn fer Masha Allah, that those

00:24:32 --> 00:24:35

people who are studied firstly speaks about the people who are

00:24:35 --> 00:24:39

Sharkey, who are wretched in the Hereafter, and what they get. Then

00:24:39 --> 00:24:41

Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the people who are salaried

00:24:42 --> 00:24:46

meaning who are the fortunate ones, and what they will be given

00:24:46 --> 00:24:50

by Allah subhanaw taala then Allah describes at the end of it, he

00:24:50 --> 00:24:55

describes this gift from Allah as alpha and a hero image of Ruth,

00:24:55 --> 00:24:59

which means Arthur giving which is

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

Never ending, continuous giving. And one very interesting

00:25:04 --> 00:25:07

interpretation that I read of it the other day, that the people who

00:25:07 --> 00:25:12

will be given this are the people who are always giving themselves

00:25:13 --> 00:25:16

the people who are always charitable themselves, they will

00:25:16 --> 00:25:21

be the one given this, because giving is the response. This

00:25:21 --> 00:25:26

giving this continuous bounty from Allah is the reward for continuous

00:25:26 --> 00:25:30

giving in this world. So those who are continuously giving, and you

00:25:30 --> 00:25:33

don't have to be continuously giving with your money, that's not

00:25:33 --> 00:25:37

the point here is to actually be giving with yourself, donating

00:25:37 --> 00:25:42

your services, assisting others, helping people being charitable,

00:25:42 --> 00:25:46

smiling at people and all of these other cards that Allah subhanaw

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

taala has, has designated for us as the Prophet sallallahu sallam

00:25:50 --> 00:25:54

said Kulusuk, Salama ignore Adam, Salama ignore Adam,

00:25:55 --> 00:26:01

every limb of a human of a human being in the morning, a sadaqa is

00:26:01 --> 00:26:01

doing it.

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

And then he describes the different forms of sadaqa, which

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

is not just by money, but which is actually by

00:26:09 --> 00:26:13

which is actually by giving a smile to somebody when you meet

00:26:13 --> 00:26:17

them, helping somebody out picking something away. That is harmful,

00:26:17 --> 00:26:22

maybe from the from the road, and all of these kinds of things.

00:26:23 --> 00:26:28

This is this is all about giving. But for us to be able to do this,

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

maybe for some people, it's easy, but for other people is not the

00:26:31 --> 00:26:34

way to do this is to develop your love with Allah subhanaw taala

00:26:34 --> 00:26:37

because you do this for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala then it is

00:26:37 --> 00:26:41

useful. So if you develop your love for Allah, your Tawakkol, our

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

Tawakkol will increase. That's why the Prophet Lawson was the

00:26:43 --> 00:26:47

greatest giver, because he knew it came from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.

00:26:47 --> 00:26:52

And he knew that he is not going to become poor by giving. In fact,

00:26:52 --> 00:26:56

the more he gives, the more he will get, he had fully a keen on

00:26:56 --> 00:27:00

this. That's why he said that in Nama and kassym Allahu yoti, that

00:27:00 --> 00:27:05

I am just the distributor, it's the Allah Who gives. So you just

00:27:05 --> 00:27:09

keep giving in every way shape or form, but it's about making that

00:27:09 --> 00:27:13

decision and acting upon it, which is very difficult. But once you

00:27:13 --> 00:27:17

start, then it gets easier, and you have to build up. So you start

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

giving a bit bit by what you don't like to give and then after that

00:27:20 --> 00:27:23

you will be able to give bigger things and then you will realize

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

that nothing matters anymore. Because it's all from Allah

00:27:26 --> 00:27:30

subhanaw taala May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us that Sophie

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

just a few additional points he makes, which is

00:27:35 --> 00:27:37

called an alien or the Allahu Anhu

00:27:39 --> 00:27:43

with no seek assistance with Allah subhanaw taala in

00:27:45 --> 00:27:51

in basically administrating your entire planning of everything. And

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

earlier the Allahu Anhu says that Oh, son of Adam,

00:27:59 --> 00:28:05

letter from Bill, Xena don't get so excited and start exalting over

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
