There's a very interesting story who's who's from miracle here?

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

Anybody from miracle because the story about miracle

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

so in Gujranwala in one of the villages of Gujranwala, there was

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

a hockey himself. He used to have a surgery in town in the city, he

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

had a very strange way of working unusual way that most of us

00:00:23 --> 00:00:23

wouldn't understand.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:29

He would go to the city every day to open up his surgery. Before

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

leaving, he would ask his wife from the village, what do you need

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

from the city today, so which mich masala, you know, some spices, I

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

need some oil, I need this, she would write it on a piece of

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

paper, and he would take it with him. When he would get there he

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

would check the paper the list only after getting the he would

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

look at it and he would he would then budget you'd say okay, this

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

cost 20 rupees and this cost 50 rupees, he would then total that

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

up. And then he would make a dua to Allah subhanaw taala, he would

00:00:56 --> 00:01:01

say that, Oh Allah, I'm only coming here to, to earn a living

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

for my dependent ones. So when I have earned this living, as soon

00:01:06 --> 00:01:10

as you give me this amount, then I will close shop and go back nearly

00:01:10 --> 00:01:16

every day by about 930 to about 10 o'clock, he would see whichever

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

patients would come in. And he as soon as he made that amount of

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

money, if it was 500 rupees, 300 rupees, then he would close up,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

and then he would go back, he would he would do his shopping,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

and he would go back every day. This was his story. He says, I'm

00:01:31 --> 00:01:37

only doing this to fulfill my obligation of living. I'm looking

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

after my dependent ones. One day,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

he left home as normal. And his wife gave him a little

00:01:45 --> 00:01:50

piece of paper with the list. So he gets the opens up his surgery.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

And he looks to start the budget. And there's a few spices and

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

things like that he budgets them and then it says

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

the daughter's Jahaz Gamal

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

meaning his daughter is going to get married. So all of the things

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11

that she needs to give to the other side, all the supplies that

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

you have to give in these cultures, unfortunately, it's

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

there. And sometimes that could debilitate people in getting their

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

daughters married. It's really strange.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

In Arab countries, it's about the man having to pay a huge amount of

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

money. But in some of our countries, in some areas, like in

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32

some areas of India, some areas of Pakistan and Bangladesh, the girl

00:02:32 --> 00:02:37

has to cough up. And if a guy has had five daughters, he is going to

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

be miserable because of this culture.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

So

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

he'll looks at that. And he he writes next to it, he said, You

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

Aloka come here. Hola, Jana. Right? This is I'm going to have

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

to leave to Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah knows best how I'm

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

going to make this is used to everyday making the few 100

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

rupees, or you know, few 1000 Whatever it is, and this is just a

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

huge amount of difference.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:08

And he starts his work. And he's seen patients, he sees a few

00:03:08 --> 00:03:12

patients and then suddenly this big car pulls up outside and cars

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

pull up all the time in that area. And so he didn't give it a second

00:03:15 --> 00:03:20

look, just normal. And a person comes in. This suited booted guy

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

comes in.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:28

And he sits on the bench. So after Hakeem Sal finishes off with the

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

current patients, he says to me, says, if you would like me, if

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

it's something about yourself, then please come next to me on

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

this chair. So I can check your pulse. So I can diagnose your

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

problem or if it if you come here to ask for somebody else's

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

medicine, then let me know what the symptoms are, what the

00:03:43 --> 00:03:47

problems are and make your medicine. So the person says my

00:03:47 --> 00:03:52

name is such and such, but it looks like you haven't recognized

00:03:52 --> 00:03:52

me.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

So the hacker himself probably looks bewildered. So he says,

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

Let me tell you 15 years ago, I had been I'm from Miramar.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

But I'm coming from Lahore and on my way from Lahore to Munich,

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

where I pass by

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

this area every time. Fifth 15 years ago.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

As we were passing by this area, we had a puncture.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:27

And it was really hot in the late morning. And as my driver was

00:04:27 --> 00:04:31

fixing the puncture, I was there standing in the heat. And you saw

00:04:31 --> 00:04:36

me. So you came outside and said come in and sit down. So you made

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

me sit down and you had a small girl with you.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

And it took a while for the puncher to be fixed. But in that

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

time your daughter kept telling you oh Father, Father, come on.

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

Why are you taking so long? Let's go home. You know, it's, you know,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

I'm hungry or whatever it is, I'm hungry. You know, we need to go

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

home and you kept telling you just be patient, just be patient. Then

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

I thought to myself

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

of 15 years ago, when I was sitting there that I'm sitting

00:05:03 --> 00:05:07

here for free, maybe I should do something, this person is

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

even laying his daughter, you know, comforting her. And you

00:05:11 --> 00:05:17

know, just for my sake, because so he said, that I decided to tell

00:05:17 --> 00:05:21

you my story that I've been in England for five years. Now this

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

story was sent to me, I don't know who this person is. I'd like to

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

meet him one day if I could,

00:05:26 --> 00:05:32

if it is a true story, right? So I mean, I have no reason to doubt

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

that it's a true story. He said, I'd been in England five years,

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

we've been trying to have children. But we just can't have

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41

sure we've tried everything we've been had tests done in the you

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

know, in the hospitals there. We've done everything, but we just

00:05:43 --> 00:05:50

cannot have children. So as I'm saying this, he started getting

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

some potions of medicine ready. He splits it up. And then he put it

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

into two separate packages. And then he asked me my name. And I

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

said, my name is so and so. So he made he wrote it. And then he

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

said, Look, the problem you have only Allah subhanaw taala can fix

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08

that. Doesn't matter who does tests doesn't matter who gives you

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

medicine?

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

He doesn't tell you them, Oh, I've got a medicine for you. It's going

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

to cost you this much. He said, It doesn't matter what medicine you

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

take, which Hakeem gives you medicine. It's only up to Allah

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

subhanaw taala you need to ask Allah because he is the provider.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

And then he said, Look, this one is for you. And this one is for

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

your wife. He put the two the two envelopes into a larger envelope,

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

a larger package. And he gave it to him. So I said, Okay, can I?

00:06:32 --> 00:06:37

How much is it? He said, No, today's today's balances is full.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:42

Today's businesses closed. Sneaky. What do you mean is closed? The

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

whole reason I did this is to pay you something and you're telling

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

me that the business is closed. So there was somebody else would come

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

in, who was a local, he probably knew he said, What he means is

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

that every day he comes in the morning, and however much he needs

00:06:56 --> 00:06:57

for that day's

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

expenditure. That's how much he works. And then after that, he

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

doesn't do anything over that.

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

So

00:07:06 --> 00:07:11

they said this was quite amazing. And then and then I left. When I

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

got home, I told my wife this story.

00:07:14 --> 00:07:18

And she was amazed by the story that this Hakeem SAAB is such a

00:07:18 --> 00:07:24

noble person, such a great human being that he first hosted you

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

like this, then didn't even take advantage of your situation.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

Right? Looking at you as a person who's wealthy, there must be some

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

blessing and Baraka in this medicine. Let's take it. They

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

started, you know, praying to Allah, whatever it is, and they

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

started taking this medicine. And he says today Alhamdulillah I have

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

three children. I have three beautiful daughters. I believe you

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

said daughters said I have three beautiful children.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

Now what happened is,

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

I have come right now, because my most of my family is in England.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:03

Right? What's new, right? Most of my family is England. I've just

00:08:03 --> 00:08:07

got one sister, who is a widow, who who's lost her husband, she's

00:08:07 --> 00:08:13

a widow. And she's a widow. And she has a daughter. And it's

00:08:13 --> 00:08:18

she's, I think 21 years old or something. And she, her marriage

00:08:18 --> 00:08:23

is on the 21st of this month. And we have come as a family. And we

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

have taken responsibility for her that she's our sister, she doesn't

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

have any money, we are going to pay the jazz, we're going to pay

00:08:28 --> 00:08:31

everything we're going to take care of the entire marriage.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

That's what we had come for.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

However, what happened just five days before, so it's on the 21st,

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

but five days before, what happened is that she had gone

00:08:42 --> 00:08:47

shopping into the market and felt some headache or something Come

00:08:47 --> 00:08:51

on, she didn't tell anybody. She developed a fever, but she didn't

00:08:51 --> 00:08:55

mention anything in the excitement or whatever the case is. And

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

finally she fell down in the market after doing a lot of the

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

shopping, they took her to the hospital, but she had a very high

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

fever. They couldn't save her and she passed away.

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

Now we've done a lot of the purchase and everything. And me

00:09:08 --> 00:09:13

and my wife have decided and it came into our mind that you're in

00:09:13 --> 00:09:17

this Gujranwala area. And we remember that you have a small

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

daughter. We don't know what her state is, whenever she's going to

00:09:20 --> 00:09:27

get married. If it's now or later. If it's now then we want to sort

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

the whole wedding out

00:09:29 --> 00:09:36

and tell us your address. And we will send all of the

00:09:37 --> 00:09:44

summon all the shopping that we've done for it, tell us our our truck

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

or whatever it is we'll come and drop it at your place.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

And if it's later on then that's fine. We'll give you the money for

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

it. But if it's now then we want to do it.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

And this Hakeem sub is just just looking totally

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

dumbfounded, he just can't believe what's happening here. So

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

he says

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

that this morning I came.

00:10:12 --> 00:10:16

And this is generally what I do that I look at my budget and this

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

is what my wife had written. And this is what I had written.

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

I'll tell you exactly what he had written.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:29

He says, I think I should say this in order because who doesn't

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

understand or do hear better?

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

I'll translate it for you as well. Halfway, I'll translate it for

00:10:34 --> 00:10:39

you. Not so the person tells him You have no refusal rights here.

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

You're going to take this as it is making an imposition on him.

00:10:45 --> 00:10:48

Yeah, Allah, Allah. He said Muhammad Ali said

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

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

And then basically he says this, this is what's important to

00:13:18 --> 00:13:25

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

00:13:28 --> 00:13:32

He says that there is one lesson that I always do that I have read

He's ending his day with Allah subhanaw taala. And everything in

this is recent times, you know, this is probably last 1015 20

00:14:25 --> 00:14:30

years. And this is not the only story. We don't have the time, but

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

there are stories like this from Mallanna Yunus Patel, who was a

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

wonderful person and Rahim Allah is passed away now in in Durban,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

South Africa. There are things like this about him as well that

00:14:40 --> 00:14:44

I've heard, but it requires a certain level of Tawakkol to do

00:14:44 --> 00:14:47

this, you can't do this. If you don't have reliance in Allah. You

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

don't have any trust in Allah how you're going to do it. You're

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

gonna think Is he gonna give me or not? Is he going to give me but if

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

your Eman is strong and you have the taco and you have the taco,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:58

then you will do something like this. May Allah grant us this

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

level of Taqwa. That's serious

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

May Allah grant us this is not a story of 700 years ago or 1000

00:15:04 --> 00:15:08

years ago, this is recent time with everything England, Pakistan,

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

Punjab, Miracle Kashmir, everything involves May Allah

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

subhanaw taala make this a reality for us. May Allah subhanaw taala

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

grant us an understanding. I'm not saying that that's all we can we

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20

will do as well, but at least it gives us some understanding of

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23

having some contentment, working with that one and il hamdulillahi

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

rabbil Alameen
