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

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			which means everything you need
for a marriage for your daughter.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			I was just how am I going to do
this? So I wrote that this is for
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			Allah meaning this is I'm going to
leave this to Allah. Allah knows
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:04
			best how to deal with this. And
now you come Mrs. I do feel sorrow
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:09
			that your daughter your niece has
died. But I'm just Subhanallah he
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			calls out to Allah subhanaw taala
Oh, Kareem Avi are great one Oh,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			benevolent one.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			And then basically he says this,
this is what's important to
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:25
			understand. He says, he says that,
since I have become mature, and
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			discerning and understanding.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32
			He says that there is one lesson
that I always do that I have read
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			and that I always follow, which is
the in the morning I say raazi
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:40
			Karasik to hear ASIC. Oh Sustainer
Oh, sustainer you're the only
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:46
			Sustainer everything comes from
you. And he says are Shymko Sugar,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:51
			Sugar Mala Tara sugar. Thank you.
Thank you gratitude. It's only
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:55
			thanks to you, oh Allah. He is
starting his day off with Allah.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:59
			He's ending his day with Allah
subhanaw taala. And everything in
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:03
			between is Mubarak and Baraka. In
fact, what the person had said is
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			that I've been trying to catch you
for a few days. Every day I've
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			come I come in afternoon, evening,
your your stories closed. So
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			yesterday, somebody told me you
need to come at nine o'clock in
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			the morning to catch up himself.
And that's why I'm here today.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			Now, if we could have that kind of
baraka and blessing, and you know,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			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
