We've got one child, not child. He's a youth now, and
he no longer. This is what happened. His father used to abuse
his mother for years and years and years.
I was a biller, his father abused his mother for years and years
domestic violence, beating her up and everything like that. He
observed this.
Those who do this, they should see what impact it's having on the
child. Now this child, he must have heard somewhere, let me make
dua. So you must have been making dua, but the abuse continued.
So now he thinks that there is no God because I was told to make
dua. I made dua, and it didn't stop.
So now, I don't know how old he is. 17 1819 Somebody mentioned
just recently, somebody mentioned that he no longer makes toys
anymore. He doesn't say much anymore. But this is his problem.
He thinks that God does not exist because he made a door and nothing
happens.
This is a conundrum a lot of people deal with these kinds of
questions in their mind.
Smilla rahmanir rahim.

Baraka was a limit asleep and got here on Eli Iommi, Dean Amma beret
Dear brothers, nice to be in your midst in this month of Ramadan.
It's been I think I was here two years ago. Allah subhanho wa Taala
removed the pandemic from us and allow us to continue to come to
the masjid and be close together.
The Ramadan is the month of the Quran. It's a special time for the
Quran. That's why many of our predecessors used to abundantly
recite the Quran in Ramadan and interact with the Quran in
Ramadan, more than sometimes other worships as well. Along with the
fasting there's a special connection with the Quran.
Generally, they say that in your when you're fasting, your thought
process is clear.
Give it a few days, first few days when you first when you start
fasting, you're a bit confused, because we're not used to fasting
if somebody is not used to fasting every day. Then the first few days
of fasting, people are a bit groggy, the a bit tired, they're a
bit confused, but once you have a few days in your system gets used
to it. The the mind works better on an empty stomach or not on a
full stomach you can say not an completely empty stomach. If
you're very hungry, then your mind doesn't work either. So I think
there's a very special connection between Ramadan and the Quran.
Because I think it's a time not just for reciting the Quran, which
many many people mashallah do but also pondering the Quran and
reflecting over the Quran. The Quran is, especially when the
Quran the Ramadan was also the time and the Quran first was
revealed from the Divine tablet up to the first heavens altogether,
it was revealed.
This is as Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, in Zelner, who
feel a little colder on the rock, the rock O'Malley little recorder
later to Kadri hieromonk official. So the Quran was revealed,
according to this verse, In the night of Qatar, but we also know
that it was revealed over 23 years. So what this means is that
when it was first revealed all together,
all in one go, it was revealed to the first heaven to a place called
beta is the house of might the house of greatness.
Now, from there Gibreel Ali Salam brought it over 23 years, a bit by
bit, when to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. One
of the wisdoms of why it was brought over 2323 years is because
if the Quran all came down at once, then it may have been too
much for people to have acted upon it. Because you see the Quran
eventually the way we have it right now. Don't funny, Kate,
don't drink. Don't do this. Don't do that so many akam the people
that were in gross ignorance, lots of Jamelia very far from where we
are today.
So, if the Quran came down all together, and they had to practice
this overnight, it would have been very difficult. So it happened
slowly, slowly, bit by bit. And it did not come down in the order as
we know the first verse was sort of a crop bismi after that was
sort of till Modesitt which actually towards the end
of the Quran now. And circle Bacara was actually revealed in
Madina, Munawwara you know, that's a Madani surah. So it gives you an
understanding of the Quran. Now the other benefit is that Jibreel
Ali Salam could actually see from the Quran. Once he was in the
first heavens, what was the relevant parts? And whenever that
became relevant, so sometimes the Muslims would ask a question, yes,
Aluna Can I need a hill? They ask you about the moon, about the year
about the moon. So the answer came, they asked you about women's
cycle? Yes, I do. And I need my healed. So again, that verse came
down. Sometimes you will be objections from the enemies.
Sometimes it would be questions, criticisms, objections from the
enemies. How can this be the case? How can they be? They didn't like
the idea of a resurrection,
that we will come back to life afterwards, Allah will bring us
back they just couldn't understand that. So so many verses were
revealed about that whole you he had Liddy and Shaha Oh, well,
Amara, the One who created everything, the first time round
from nothing, you will create you again. Why is that so difficult?
Why do you think that so difficult? So, sometimes 10 verses
would come down together, sometimes one verse would come,
sometimes a part of us would come.
But the professor lorrison would be told exactly where to place it.
So when he would receive it, he would tell the Sahaba who was
writing it down, this verse put it here, in the Surah, in which this
is mentioned. So that's how the whole Quran as we see today, is
organized by the Prophet sallallahu sallam, through Allah
subhanaw taala as guidance. It wasn't done randomly. There's
agreement, that sort of the way it's organized certain fattier
sort of Bukhara, and the way it is, it's organized like that. Now
the Quran is a book for remembrance. So for example,
so to Fatiha
which Allah makes us read, how many times a day for somebody who
is going to do solid, the forum, the wedge, the Sunnah, we really
like what 3040 times and no, so many times why is so little
fattier, so important? Why do we do it so many times? Why was it
not another verse? why certain fattier? Because certain fattier
is one of the most powerful verses of the Quran? And Allah wants us
to do it because this life is a struggle. This is not an easy
life. To practice the deen because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was told called Armand to biller from stockin say I believe
in Allah and then remain steadfast.
So once you say you believe in Allah has lots of responsibilities
that come somebody who doesn't say they believe in Allah doesn't make
a difference. But if you say you believe in Allah and I'm a
believer you sit in the masjid while there's responsibilities
don't eat haram you know don't do haram don't lie don't cheat don't
look at haram don't go close to haram
pray Salah fasting don't you can't do interest even though it's very
liquid only point 5% is the interest rate it's a no brainer
you know you can make so much money if I start business like
this you know and get a loan from the bank but no, conduit is not
allowed. So the Quran is certain fatty as we are seeing this little
fattier. Why do you think we have to read it so many times in a day?
Have you ever thought anybody thought about this?
Why we have to read it, you check after that you read other verses
or another sort of it's sort of idea you must read because it's so
powerful. Sort of the Fatiha is like a conclusion of the Quran.
But one of the biggest things in there is that in our life as
Muslims, it's tough to have steadfastness. That is very, very,
Allah says in the Quran, first takim come out, omit.
remain steadfast as you have been commanded, and the prophets are
some said this is one of the most difficult verses on me. Because
you know what steadfastness means? steadfastness means that we're
totally on the middle path. In every aspect. Not this side, too
much. Not this side too much. It's like saying when you're driving on
the highway, you must drive in exactly in the middle. You can't
swerve this way or that way. I mean, when you get a bit tired,
you can't go that way. You must stay straight. Otherwise, you're
in trouble.
So steadfastness
is
starts with our beliefs. You must have steadfastness and moderation
in your beliefs. So, in our beliefs, we must make sure that we
don't have any extreme beliefs, or we mustn't have shortcoming in our
beliefs.
For example, all the groups of the past that were considered to be
heresies, heretics,
misguided groups, they all had problems with extreme belief, like
the Shias and all other groups, the martyrs, etcetera, they went,
they said,
for example, in our deen, if you commit a major sin,
somebody lies somebody phony, Kate, somebody steals. We say that
as long as they believe inside, they're still believers, but
they're sinners. They could be punished by Allah. The martyr
Zilla, they said,
This person is not a Muslim anymore. You commit any major sin,
you're not Muslim.
But you're not careful either.
You're somewhere in between, not Muslim, not careful, where you're
going to be in Jahannam in a special place. In a special place
in Jahannam, you'll never go to Paradise because you're not a
movement. But you're not a full kafir either. So you've got a
special place. This is extreme view. Then on the other hand, you
had another view, which was
worse.
They this was the Hawaii ridge. They are extreme. They said, If
you commit a major sin, you're not a Mormon, and you are a Catholic.
So we went one step beyond the martyrs and say you are Catholic.
Now. You will be in hellfire. Unless you make Toba and come back
to Islam. If you don't, you cannot be forgiven.
We say that Allah can send this person to be
punished. Now, in hellfire, Allah says Allah Subhan Allah to absorb.
Hellfire has seven stages. The top stage is for the believers, that's
the washing machine for the believers.
That's where believers are sent to be cleaned. You can call it like a
dry cleaning process. I mean, Allah protect us. So but if Allah
wants, he may forgive us. Allah wants he can forgive us as well.
Now, on the other hand, the other extreme, there were some groups
called the Moto G, which said that if you commit a sin, no problem.
If you don't do solid, no problem. If you don't fast, it's not a
problem. As long as you got belief, belief is the most
important thing as long as you got belief, nothing else will harm
you. You won't be punished for it either. So you have these
extremes. So a believer can't have those extremes. Also in practice,
we have to stay steadfast. Now spiritual Fatiha. Anybody who
reads it with meaning, the benefit will be that we are asking Allah
for steadfastness. In this biggest responsibility in human life, is
in a man's life in a believers life which is to stay steadfast.
Certain Fatiha is very, very useful in that regard. It's one of
the most useful things because what we say in certain data is a
dino sera Tal, Mr. Team,
guide us to the straight path, not the deviated path, not the one
this side or that side. Keep us on the straight path.
Now imagine if you and I know what this means and when we're reading,
so to refer to it as your autonomous takim
Sirata Misaki.
That DA is going to be special. We read it in our salata. Anyway, we
just read it right now, or the Imam read it for us in your
signature read it. But if we know what we're saying in a Serato
study, it makes a big difference. A lot of people they wonder how to
gain concentration in prayer. This is the way to gain concentration
in prayer is to read the Fatiha and to learn its meaning. Now
maybe I can ask how many people
here know the meaning of certain Fatiha
if you raise your hands, how many people know the meaning of certain
Fatiha I'm not embarrassing. I'm saying who knows the meaning okay
mashallah, that's about a 50% Good 50% hamdulillah the other 50% your
rest of Ramadan you need to you need to learn meaning of fatty
right. You will see once you know it and you start reading your
Salah to become inshallah much more and also use this Ramadan to
not just read the Quran, read the Quran, lots of it, but also spend
some time in thinking of the Quran. Allah subhanho wa Taala
says, Allah Who knows Zilla axonal Hadith Nikita moto shall be him
method.
oneota passare roomin who julu Levina Yaksha winner of the home
so mightily you know Judo homework polo go home in a recurrent.
This is sort of to Zoomer verse 23. Now think of this verse, Allah
says, Allah has revealed the best of discourses the best of words,
which is the Quran
Kitab and a book with a shabby hum which is similar to one another,
whatever you read in one place, you read other money, salaam story
in central Bacara you go to another Surah You will find a
similar story with a bitten with a slight difference. Right? So it
constantly constantly
parallels with one another and provides you harmony with one
another same messages mentioned so many times and Allah says motor
shall be similar to one another Muthiah Ania oft repeated. So lots
of things in the Quran are repeated over and over again. Lots
of ideas are repeated. Mousavi Salam stories mentioned so many
times. Allah mentioned so many times that Allah is forgive. ALLAH
forgives. He is a fool Rahim. Allah mentioned so many times that
he is there available for you whenever you need him. Because
when you read it the first time, he may not hit you, you're not in
the mood. And you read the second time, you're a bit soft hearted.
You've just had a problem in life and you read this and like oh
Subhanallah give me forgiveness.
So then Allah says, duck, share it Roman who julu Latina Yasha Nora
boom.
This the skin,
the flesh of those who fear the Lord, it trembles by the Quran has
our skin and flesh ever tremble because of the Quran.
So methylene or julu, whom eventually after doing it so many
times the their flesh will become soft and and their hearts will
become soft and for the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa
Taala
a person who reads the Quran often will become soft hearted, the
harshness will go from their lives, they will become better
people. There's no way that's if you find harshness in you. If you
find that you're harsh. Start reading the Quran with meaning you
will find that he will soften you out with everything that you read.
Because when when you read the Quran, you understand the
awesomeness and power of Allah subhanaw taala we then understand
that we're just human beings. Even though I may be very strong, I may
be very wealthy, I may have lots of influence. I may have a big
position somewhere, which makes me a bit arrogant, which makes me
overconfident. It gives me false assurance and false security. But
when you read the Quran and you realize that they were bigger
people than us, we can interact with this and benefit from this.
So that's what Allah subhanaw taala says Then Allah subhana wa
Tada in another verse, Allah subhana wa Tada says in Surah two
Zoomer verse 27. Now, few verses later, Allah says, What are the
Nika o Hanaa? elago, Rohan min Marina marco de Mille kita boo al
Iman, wala Jana who knew more on the behemoth and Nasha Omen arriba
Deena, we're in Nicoletta de la. So you're all team most of the
team. So you're out in Hila de la Houma is what you want to fill
out.
In LA, he does see your rule or more, we have inspired to you the
rule, which is from one of our commands, which is from our
commands, you did not know what the Kitab was before this. Before
you are given the GitHub you didn't know what the Kitab was,
you didn't know what Iman was either.
So we made it into a light. That's why the Quran is also called the
news
because it illuminates what's right and wrong for us.
These are all basic things you're saying this is so basic, I'm
telling us so basic things, but are we taking the Quran as a
light? Are we directly gaining light are we putting the light on
and the way to put this light on to benefit Allah has given us a
light now you sit in a darkroom and you don't use the light you
don't put it on? You want to save electricity.
Right? You want to save your batteries on your phone so you
don't put the light on.
You're not going to get much you're going to have trouble. So
in our life, we have troubles the Quran is there Shiva. The Quran is
Shiva. Allah says it's a shift.
It's a shift. There's a lot of people with depressing ideas. If
they read the Quran in sha Allah, they
they this will be the cure.
This will be the cure. There's a woman who
Allahu Akbar Allah. Some months ago she contacts she said she's 35
years old and cannot get married.
And she was really really like, what is the situation? Why can I
get married? Am I doomed? Does Allah not want me to be married?
Once Subhanallah when people have these problems, they start
complaining about Allah subhanaw taala
there's another woman she called other day she said that she's has
ringing in her ears.
Tinnitus I think you call it some ringing is a hissing sound in the
ears. Oh, the biller Allah protect us from it. And she's saying how
can Allah make me suffer like this? If, you know how can Allah
make me suffer like this? I'm making so much dua but it's not
going away. So I'm going to lose, I'm going to lose my faith.
I said okay, fine, lose your faith where you're gonna go then.
Like, Why do you blame Allah for? Just think about it? Why do you
blame Allah for did Allah promise you that you're not going to have
suffering?
That Allah say that it's going to be paradise for you in this world?
That you're not going to have any problems? Allah never said that.
Were you getting this idea from this shaytaan telling you that
because it's not getting better? That means there's probably no
God, or some weird idea. I said, Okay, fine, give up, then what's
gonna happen you think is gonna get better that because you don't
longer believe in Allah, so you're gonna get better. Now just think
of that logic. So I think then she started realizing that's the wrong
thing. People need something to complain about. And the easiest
thing is to complain about Allah subhanaw taala. Anyway, so the
first cyst I was talking about, I said, Look,
you need to believe you can and you need to ask Allah and I'm
going to give you something to read. Read husband, Allahu Annette
mill Joaquin is from the Quran, right? Has Allah who in Milwaukee,
read that this many times a day.
He means has when Allah Allah is sufficient for us. When netmail
Joaquin, and he's the best of patrons. He's the one who's gonna
look after in the best of ways.
And Hamdulillah I forgot about her. She called me I think two
days ago and she said, I just want to give you the good news. Do you
remember? It's no I don't remember, I get so many calls. I
don't remember that. I'm the one who was crying to you on the
phone. I'm 35 years old, I couldn't get married. I could
vaguely remember something. She said I'm finally fixed. I've been
reading that door every day. And it's taught me so much. I've
learned so much that I have not learned before essentially, the
last few months I've learned so much about people that Allah has
opened it up for me. So I said well, hamdulillah Masha Allah,
that's the blessing of the Quran. This is the blessing and the power
of the verses of the Quran.
Right? So Allah subhanho wa Taala is there but he wants us to make
the effort to do so. The Quran is a light.
I guarantee you if you're feeling down, you're feeling a bit
depressed, you're feeling a bit emotional about something, open
the Quran, pretty much any page, you'll find something there for
you.
I tell people who are sensitive, we're constantly crying, we're
constantly have a problem with these kinds of things that you
know what you should do, instead of crying for free and wasting
your tears like this people who cry for free, right? They waste
their tears.
If I have a small problem with somebody start crying.
Right? Somebody says something to them, they get a bit upset, but
they start crying. So look, that's your nature, that's fine. You're
not going to be punished for your nature. But you have such a
valuable asset. There are so many people here they think and I wish
I could cry in front of Allah in my doors and they might
they can't cry. They find it very tough to cry mashallah, you're
crying for free, five times a day.
So what you do in crying is instead of crying just like that,
when you feel like that, two things, either open the Quran and
start to read and you'll find so many things to cry about. And your
crying will be valuable here in the sight of Allah. There are so
many stories as horrible dude.
You read a summary that will Guruji you read about those people
who are mercilessly, flesh torn from blood torn from their bones,
you read about the other people and everything else that is going
to happen Janome and you will find so many things to cry about, and
your heart will get prepared for that. Your heart will get close to
Allah. And number two, if you can't do that, you don't have a
Quran then put your hands up to Allah. In fact, don't even put
your hands up. Just direct your heart to Allah and make dua and
use the crane to make dua for Allah. Allah relieve me Oh ALLAH
relieve me Oh Allah, give me this Oh Allah take give me delivery
from this. Oh Allah give me sukoon give me tranquility. Don't cry for
free. Don't waste your tears
and you will get a hug
Unless on your, on your emotion, will get a harness on your
emotion. There was another person they contacted me just been
through a divorce and they were depressed and couldn't sleep at
night, told him to read some do some vicar from Allah subhanaw
taala three weeks I got an email saying that I'm sleeping better
than I used to sleep before.
This is science, this is empirical you try it.
You try it, and you will see the benefit of it. So that's what
Allah subhanaw taala says, we have made it a light for you that we
will guide with it whoever we wish,
of our servants.
And then Allah says to the prophets, Allah some you're
obviously guide people to the straight path. This is the
straight path that you guide people. Thereafter in another
verse, Allah subhana wa Tada says in Surah, two Nyssa actually the
verse I just recited was from Surah to Shura, I made a mistake.
It was not from certain memories from shoulder to shoulder, the
next verse, yeah, you haven't so called the comb Bohan whom are
become Zelda in a canoe rum Albina. Oh, this is from surah
Nisa, verse 174. Allah subhanho wa Taala says, oh people,
there has come to your proof,
clear evidence, clear proof. If you look in it, you will find all
the evidence of what you wanted
from your Lord, and we have given you a clear light for you to
benefit from so Allah calls it a clear light in the Quran.
Thereafter, Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
In surah Taha a boon for amino Billa he was a Sunni he when no
Rila the Zelina believe in Allah and His Messenger, and in the
light that we have caused to descend, Allah is saying over and
over again, this is a light. Why don't we take it as a light in our
life?
Why don't we take it directly as the light Alhamdulillah most of us
follow the light of the Quran. If you're a practicing Muslim, you
follow the light but you follow it indirectly. You follow it through
what you've been told through other books, which is fine, right?
We're following the dictates of the Quran. But how about if we can
learn directly and take the message directly? And speak to
Allah Allah, Allah, Allah subhanaw taala speak to us directly. What
we're going to do today is because it's the what which day of Ramadan
is it
sorry, the 12. So, let us open chapter 12. And in the few minutes
that we have 10 minutes, we will just look at what Allah subhanaw
taala is telling us in chapter 12. Right now, Chapter 12. It consists
of
two sewers. It has sorted hood.
And it also has sorted use of at least the beginning of Surah
Yusuf.
So what I'm going to do is, I mean, we can't talk about the
whole Jews. But Allah subhanho wa Taala tells a few things in sort
of the beginning Allah subhanaw taala talks about the human being.
Well in a doctrinal insert, this is verse for those who want to
check it later. Verse nine of solitude, whether in abdominal
insan Amina Ramadan, Salman azana, Herman, in the hall lair, Olson
can fall.
If we give people some mercy from Us to taste, if we cause them to
experience some mercy.
Then we pull it away from them.
They get really, really despondent and they start becoming
ungrateful.
They start becoming ungrateful and despondent. Now, you had five
wonderful years.
Right? And then suddenly, for a few days, you had a problem,
whether that be a hissing sound in your ear, whether that be some
other difficulty, a pain in your back, and you just start
complaining.
You become the Allah hates me now. Or as I said, some people like
there is no Allah, how can they be Allah?
We've got one child, not child. He's a youth now. And
he no longer this is what happened. His father used to abuse
his mother for years and years and years.
I was a biller, his father abused his mother for years and years
domestic violence, beating her up and everything like that. He
observed this.
Those who do this they should see what impact it's having on the
child. Now this child, he must have heard somewhere let me make
dua. So you must have been making dua, but the abuse continued.
So now he thinks that there is no God because I was told to make
dua.
I made dua, and it didn't stop.
So now, I don't know how old he is. 17 1819 Somebody mentioned
just recently, somebody mentioned that he no longer makes die
anymore.
He doesn't say much anymore. But this is his problem. He thinks
that God does not exist because he made a DUA and nothing happens.
This is a conundrum a lot of people deal with these kinds of
questions in their mind. It doesn't lead everybody to
disbelief, though, right? But the reason here is that Allah subhanaw
taala tells us two things number one with dua, He tells us to do a
few other things.
And there's a remedy, there's a measure that we need to take, we
need to we need to take now obviously, he was a child, he
couldn't do much, but whoever told him to make dua needed to tell him
that sometimes you do, I will not be accepted. Because that's the
circumstance doesn't allow for that. Allah subhanaw taala has
different reasons for why he wants to do things, and why he allows
them things to happen. But the biggest thing that people need to
understand is that as the Hadith mentioned, that your DUA will be
accepted, there is a benefit in your doing dua even if it's not
even if you're not going to get what you are asking for. What
you're getting is you're getting reward from Allah. You're because
Allah loves it when you make dua, but Allah has to take care of the
whole world, the whole universe. And if what you're asking for
doesn't fit in to his grand plan, it's not going to happen. You have
to remember that, for example, your child wants something.
Right? Your little brother or child wants something. And you
know that if he has that, it's going to waste a lot of his time.
Like he's only seven years old, he wants a phone. Five years old, he
wants a phone, he wants his own phone.
Typical example, will you give you a five year old proper phone?
Some people are crazy, they do. They give their seven year old I
mean, some people are like that they give it for no reason. Some
people they give it because they may be going to school or
something, you know, but you wouldn't give it why? Because you
know that it's going to cause a problem. Now, seven years, few
years later, you will give it to them. Likewise, with Allah
subhanho wa taala, he may think that some he may know that
something is not beneficial for you today. After two years, it may
be beneficial for you. And sometimes your child may want
something which is not beneficial at all.
And you're never gonna get it for them. Likewise, Allah is never
gonna give it to us, He will give it to us in the future. He may
never give it to us, but he'll give a reward for us in the
future. And also in the world. There are so many kilometers that
Allah will remove because of our making dua if he doesn't give us
what he gives us. So that's why never become like that. Allah says
that if we then give them some,
some benefits, some prosperity, we make them taste some prosperity
after difficulty that had afflicted them, then they start to
say that oh, all the evil is gone from you. Now they get very
arrogant and very excited. So in both cases, they're not thanking
Allah subhanaw taala. In one, they're not doing suffering the
other one. And our life is based on sobor. And Shaka to Allah
subhanho wa taala. The next part of this surah tells us, those
people who would like to challenge the Quran.
I was I went to one of the universities in London to give a
talk. And after that we had another program somewhere else. So
I had to rush from there to another program. And I had to go
on the underground and I was wondering which way to take so one
of the students at the University Muslim guy from East London, he
said, I'll help you out. I'm going in that direction. Anyway. So come
with me. I said, Okay. And then
he said, You know, I've got some questions about Islam. I go, what
is it? He said, Look, I believe Muhammad Sallallahu sallam was a
special person. This guy is born Muslim and every strong Muslim
household. I said, I know Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a
good person. Everything I've read about him, his biography, us
wonderful person and everything. But
the Quran.
I know Quran has a lot of good things in there and I know that so
he had he had educated himself that Quran doesn't have any
comparison. So far, nobody has been able to compare anything with
the Quran. Nobody has been able to produce any equal to the Quran.
Like Allah subhanaw taala says, I'm yaku enough Torah
to be actually sorry Mythili hem of taloja to the room minister to
our to mu Dooney Allah He in coutume Saudi teen and this one he
says do they claim or do they say that he made up the Quran he
fabricated the Quran, Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam that is not from
Allah. Tell them say to them that okay, you bring 10 verses sorry,
10 suitors like it that you make up from yourself. Call whoever you
want, besides Allah to try to help you.
And if you if you're truthful for him yesterday, G welcome. If they
cannot respond to you if they cannot produce something like it,
then furthermore Undermountain Zilla berrimilla Then if you can't
do it, then accept that
It is it has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah subhanaw
taala.
And that there is no God except Allah. Are you now going to
submit? It says 10 Surah is here. In another, it says, To be Surah
bring one Surah in like in our co author, they
could not bring it. So now this guy knew that and he said, Okay,
for all of these 1400 years, nobody's been able to do it. But
my problem is what about if they do in the future?
So how would you answer that question?
But he is a possibility saying, and this is kept, this is what
skepticism does to you. If there's even a slight possibility and
slight doubt, you're willing to take it. So I could say to him,
and I didn't say I don't I don't know if I said this to another
person. I asked a similar question. I said to him,
how sure, are you that your father is your father?
Very sure. said why how? He said birth certificate.
But how can you be sure you can make up the I mean, in Bangladesh,
can you make up birth certificates?
You could probably do it in England, you know?
I mean, is a birth study proof yet? Officially it's approved. But
is it really up enough? Somebody who's doubtful? Who's skeptical
about you think it's a proof?
So DNA, okay, DNA tests will give you 99 point something percent
accuracy, not 100%. That's agreed. So there's still a possibility. So
how can you prove it?
Right? This is the disease. Skepticism is the disease. I told
him. Look, it's the same way. It's just you're just being skeptical.
This was another person actually, this person what I told him was I
said, Look, what what answer would you give?
I said to him, Look, 1400 years has shown us it hasn't happened.
And they've tried.
So now believe in it for now.
If in the future, somebody brings it up, we'll discuss it then. What
else? Am I gonna tell him?
What are the answer? Can you give to a person like that? Gee, do you
understand what I'm saying is like, at least go with it for now.
Because this person's problem is agnosticism.
This is another problem, which is, I'm not sure.
They don't deny. But it's like, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. It's a
lazy attitude. That's what it is. They don't want to commit. Because
like, I'm not sure I said That's your problem. Just believe for
now. Everything is solid. Right? Everything is solid, just like
everything else in the world. You go because it's predictable. You
see it, it's solid, go with it. And then we will deal with it when
it happens. Nothing's gonna happen. But what else am I gonna
tell him?
So there's lots of
arguments like that, that people bring shaytaan causes these
things, the narrative outside that we constantly hear, it allows
people to stop asking these kinds of questions. The job has become a
bit more difficult. And, but sometimes, these problems are not
spiritual. They're actually psychological. There's a woman she
had a C section.
And then she had to have some other issues. So she's got
postnatal depression. The two doctors have told her that she's
been to doctors. They've told her that you've got post, you've got
depression. They've given her antidepressants. Okay.
May Allah bless our women, they go through so much to bring the next
generation into the world.
You have to understand that they go through so much the hormonal
imbalances, the emotion, the depression, there are so many
women who suffer from postnatal depression, at different degrees,
different varying levels. There's a lot that suffer every month from
premenstrual tension.
Why Allah has made them that way. It's not a flaw. It's just that
Allah has made them that way. Because that is what the best
conducive way is, you know, to bear the child to go through the
pangs of birth, and so on.
But the thing is that if they can't understand this, so now
she's refusing to take the medicine.
And she's saying that this is because I committed a sin.
That's why this is happening.
And I've made Toba and it's still not going away the problem. She's
got a problem, right?
It's all console confusing. So she wants to commit suicide. She
called me today and she says that said I want to commit suicide,
What's the punishment for it?
She said, I want to drink bleach. I said, you will be a bigger
sinner.
I said you will be a bigger sinner.
And on the Day of Judgment, what the Hadith says is people who
commit suicide by stabbing them they will come in front of
everyone stabbing themselves, they will constantly be doing that in
front of everybody.
The way to escape from even if you committed a sin, even if you
committed
isn't the way to do that is not to go into another city is to seek
forgiveness Allah forgives all but if Allah forgives them, why isn't
my problem going away? Said because your problem is maybe
unrelated how Judo is because he started the day after he committed
the sin, the perceived sin.
It wasn't even like a full sin or something it was, I think it was
allowed for her in that case, right? For her to do what she did,
but it's just depression. Now depression is a dangerous disease,
which makes you think of various different things like OCD, where
if you have OCD, it makes you think you don't have will do or
that you will do isn't done. So you sit in a wudu place for half
an hour. And take a whistle. And if you go to take a bath, you take
one hour, right?
You know what I tell people like that is haram for you to spend
more than three minutes doing will do and 10 more than 10 minutes
doing also you will be haram you'll be sinful because you're
wasting.
Then what it does is it makes them think that they're divorced all
the time, that they're divorcing their wife, or it makes them think
I've dealt with two cases where it makes them think they've lost
their faith all the time. This was somebody who'd actually studied
and he kept thinking that I've done Cofer.
And every day he's asking questions, it's a psychological
problem.
He was doing everything but this Alhamdulillah it's gone away now.
And he put his mind to something. And he started a project, then no
longer and he was going through a divorce at the time as well. 100
likes fine now. So remember, not everything is magic, though is
magic, rookie or whatever. But rookie is beneficial anyway.
Right? And not everything is would you call it a spiritual problem.
Sometimes it could actually be a psychological problem. So keep
your options open and get a large from all the different directions
and keep your keep your options open. But Allah subhanaw taala is
forgiving. Allah subhanaw taala is there to help but he can give you
suffering because that's the nature of this world. Suffering is
part of this world. It started from when Kaabil killed Herbie
wasn't a suffering when that happened. weren't a lot of people
upset because of that. Well, that's nature. That's what's gonna
happen. May Allah subhanaw taala assist us May Allah give us off
yet? And may Allah protect us and may Allah allow us to see the
right way especially through the Quran. And Allah make it a guiding
light for us when making short dua Allahumma and for Salah Monica
