Smilla Manuel him hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam
ala so even more Salim
were either early he was asked me he about I go I seldom at the
Sleeman cathedral Eli oh me Dean Amma bad
so you continue with that advice is of Imam Hadith al Maha CB.
He says
the last thing that we read in the previous gathering was what Kulu
saw him in letters that we hire on FICO, Leone from these anchors of
better who, that any companion any friend that you have any, any
friend or companion, anybody that you generally sit with, through
whom or with whom you don't increase in goodness, you don't
increase in any goodness or excellence, you don't get any
benefit out of every day, then abandon is companionship.
Abandon is companionship, you don't need him, you there's not
enough time in this world to have bad friends. Basically, we don't
know how long we live for anyway. But even if you live to 70, or 80,
there's no time for bad friends. Because it's not just about the
day spent with those bad friends.
But it's actually the harm that comes from it. And the the time
that's lost, when you could have had a better friend. And anybody
would tell you that afterwards, in hindsight,
doesn't matter what how they excite you. Doesn't matter how
nice it's been with them. If you're not benefiting from such
people, then there's no point. You either benefit somebody yourself,
or you're going to be affected by somebody else. Then he says
something very interesting. He says we'll be healthy communal, if
we were to gel was
it says you need to carry with you your share of pardoning and
forgiving, you need to take with you your share of forgiveness,
overlooking somebody else's faults or whatever it may be just
easygoing nature, you need to have a share of that with you. And if
you don't have that, and you just can't forgive, then you've got
problem. So go and buy some, you know, good gold, gold and get a
supply of forgiveness and pardon and overlooking somebody else's
wrongs and faults or whatever it is. Because without that we're
going to suffer in this world. In this world, we need to we need to
have patience. Otherwise, there's only some challenges that come
about. And if we don't have patience, then we're going to
react in the wrong way. And we're never going to calm down, we're
never going to forgive. And then that creates acrimony, that
creates hatred that creates broken communities, broken families,
broken communities broken on broken humanity, I mean, what else
you want.
So it's just not a good idea.
Basically, what the author seems to be indicating towards is that
if you ever have a
dispute with somebody, then that it's best in that dispute, or
maybe a slight difference of opinion, or small kind of coral
that you may come into, or whatever it may be, it's better to
actually forgive an overlook than to continue in it, even though you
then realize that there's no point in this. Just because you want a
good argument and you want to win. That's a trait by the way. I mean,
I can tell you because I, I've experienced that trait, where you
just want to win, you don't want to give up. You want to win. And
obviously you think you're right. Most cases you may be right. But
some cases it might be a misunderstanding. That's also a
possibility.
Have you ever experienced where you thought you were right? But
then actually, you did find out later that you're wrong. I'm sure
everybody's done that right. I'm sure. Every one of us has never
been always right. Even though we may be right most of the time. I
mean, there are some people who are generally right most of the
time.
But it has to come a time when we're not right. Because we're
human beings. That's why not because we're weak or whatever we
will we are weak because human beings are weak. That's what it is
in some other ephah, as Allah says in the Quran, so it's a
possibility. We don't want to be wrong. We don't want to be wrong.
We don't always be right. But we have to allow the idea that we
could be wrong. And then it's not about that anyway, it's not about
being wrong. It's about the fact that sometimes you may be right,
but it's no point persisting in the arguments.
Right? Because let's just say that somebody owes you something. And
because of that, you've got an argument with them. But you know,
they're not going to give it to you. Even if you act stubborn.
Even if you keep arguing even for years, they're not going to give
it to you. So then what's the point of continuing the argument?
I know it's very difficult to then say, Okay, we're going to be
friends again. Right? I mean, you could say I'll deal with you on a
day of judgment, but we're going to be friends again. I'm going to
be nice to you again. You could do that. But that takes a lot. That's
not easy.
to do.
But then what's the point of keeping the argument? Somebody
called me the other day from another country?
He said, I've been listening to you and so on. But I've gotten,
I've got a question that I don't get any baraka and blessing in my
wealth. I don't have any barakah in wealth, I do a little job, you
know, I have a job. But I don't have any money left. And I
struggle. That's what I got from the question. So I asked him a
number of questions gave him a few hours. And so but I asked him a
number of questions said, Have you broken up with anybody, especially
from your relatives family? So from what I could understand there
has been a dispute and because of that they're not on speaking
terms. And I'm sure that Well, I would assume that many families
have that kind of a problem somewhere. Unfortunately, there's
somebody not speaking to somebody.
Right. So I said, Look, you don't need to be on speaking terms in
terms of like, you don't have to have like some big discussions or
something like that, but at least make some right at least have that
much at the start of it that much. So that's what I mean, it sounds
in theoretically, sounds great that okay, if you're not going to
get something from someone, and there's no way you're going to
convince them, well, okay, fine. That doesn't mean you have to
break up for the rest of your life. Life is a bit bigger than I
mean, there are other ways you can benefit from other people, right?
So that's what he's saying that he's saying that if you do have a
dispute with somebody, then it is best to forgive and overlook, than
to continue stubbornly in arguments. Because Allah subhanahu
wa, tada know, what the author says, for example, is that and
what we learned from our deen is that disputes they actually
dissolve your deen they actually effect negatively impact your
religion. Have you noticed even when you're praying, you go to the
masjid and the guy you're disputing? You've got a dispute
with he suddenly you see him in the masjid.
And you're about to start your prayer and your start your prayer?
What's going to happen? You're going to think of that argument or
he said this, I'm going to say that that's just generally what's
going to happen. So your Salah gets boiled.
The shaytaan is there to see the connection. Shaytan is very
intelligent in that sense. I mean, he can make connections very
fancy. Okay, I'm gonna use that too.
So it really like it faces the dean. It occupies your mind, you
can't be productive, then you may become a good argue. You may
become better at debate. But I mean, you can make money out of
debate. I mean, if you're a professional debater, and people
are paying you for it, then maybe it's worth it if you're debating
the right causes, but otherwise, just to be a debater, just to
satisfy your own knifes and that's not worth it.
So there should be a rule Arkel. What Dr. Duck to Toma, Nina to
Colby will hotter, it will totally kill basically any kind of
tranquility and peace in your heart. Because you're you're going
to be in overdrive thinking about all the time
it's going to occupy you,
it's going to probably restrict where you can go because if the
other person is there, you won't you won't want to be there maybe
or you know that it might just read lead to the wrong thing. So
you don't want to be there. And at the end of the day, just blackens
your heart. And it just it's just Kindles too many problems for our
for the jealous. So just forgive and pardon overlook. That's why he
says that generally the person who is so easygoing and relaxed and
they don't generally they, you know, some people just find it so
much easier to deal with a to forgive.
Right, those of us who are a bit more principles in well, I don't
know if that's the right principle, but those of us who
want perfection, and who have this strong sense of justice that they
want to receive justice prevail. One is that there's just somebody
who just loves to argue, he just always wants to put up, pull up
his sleeves and argue. But then there's other people who always
want justice to prevail, and they're willing to go to extremes
to do that. But again, those people have to choose their battle
well, because you can't do it everywhere. In some cases, it's
heroic. But in other cases, you might end up being stupidity, just
depends on what it is. So human life is very complicated. It's not
straightforward, and you have to be very versatile. That's why he's
giving us the tools here. Remember, he says you need to have
your share of the cause sometimes you're gonna have to forgive even
if you want justice, sometimes you may not be able to get it and it
may be better just to leave it. So that's why he's saying that the
the the one who is
the one who's able to digest a lot more and let go of a lot more. And
who doesn't like to get into arguments as much he's going to
sleep much better than other people, generally speaking.
And then
he says what will happen when you forgive is that you will be given
tranquility in your heart you will be given comfort, you will relax a
bit more. If no kotoba
A deal with a great Imam of Arabic and other length other subjects.
Once what happened is he was very intelligent. He's very
intelligent. Once he had a deep he had a dispute with somebody else.
I think he was correct in it, he was on the right side. So he had a
dispute with somebody else between actually a cousin of his ignore
Aminullah, his cousin, a family, you know, one of those family
issues, whatever it was it no cultiva said I'm going to get my
rights from this person until eventually he took it went to
court. So until eventually it went to court. So they got to the
court. And
so even though Kotova says the bishop, ignore Abdullah ignore the
Bacara he passed by me once and he said, What's making you What's
making you sit here? Why are you sitting in this place for so I
told him that oh, you know what, I mean, you probably started sewing
by the courthouse. So this is why you sitting here for it says
because I've got a dispute with my cousin brother. Right maybe some
land issue. I don't know what it was but I mean, that's typical,
right? So he said that person Bishop, Bishop and Abdullah he
says you know what?
I've got a favor to repay because your father Your father has done
me something is done something good for me so I've got to repay
you for that. Meaning this I owe you one because of your father I
owe you one and right now I want to actually repay you I want to do
that favor to you now So is that okay great. You know maybe
whatever it may be. This is what Allah He Mara Ito che and other
Hubballi Diem. While en casa lil Marula. Wala out the la lucha,
well, Ashikaga little cul de Minal Kusuma. So he gave him this
advice. It says, This is my favorite to you, I'm going to tell
you that I've never seen anything that is more disasterous to your
deen that is more destructive to your religion. And that is more
diminishing to your decency, your self dignity and respect among
people especially. And that takes away the pleasure of your life.
Because you can be eating some really nice food, but you're
worried about that. You could be doing something else that's
pleasurable, but you're worried about that. Right? You're worried
about meaning your disputes, what are actually valuable, and
something that is they haven't seen anything more occupying than
the hearts. So those four things that will be more destructive to
your dean more diminishing of your common chivalry and decency and
self esteem, that will take away your pleasure, and that will
occupy your heart. I've never seen anything worse than wholesome and
disputes. I completely understand I completely agree with them. So
even though Kotova says, Now if no, kotoba was a man of
principles, but he was a man of NASA, and he was a man of, you
know, understanding, soon as he heard this, this old man is
telling the truth, for come to the end, sorry. So I got him to move
away. I got up to turn away from the whole argument. So my
opponent, Mike, my cousin said to me, what's going on my luck,
what's happening? I said, I'm not gonna I'm not going to dispute
with you anymore. I'm going to drop this case. So he got probably
excited in the car. And luckily, like, you know, you figured out
that you know, I'm on the truth, that means that you're wrong, and
I'm right. That's why you're moving away. That's what they'll
say. Right? That's what will stop you from actually moving away.
Remember that is because of that, that they will think so. And
unfortunately, people they are they are they're not going to
leave you alone. I mean, that is what this is. shaytani is going to
make you think all sorts of stuff. I said no. I said no, it's not
because of the Wallachian Oh, Cremona FSI another, I just want
to ennoble myself from by staying away from this, I want to make
myself noble by staying away from this, because by being with this,
this is ignoble, what Dr. husana and I abandoned this dispute,
because it is actually related this in his Hello Medina alpha to
listen. So wonderful, huge, but wonderful chapter that he
discusses.
Alright, the next point that our author, may Allah have mercy on
him, he says is worrying them and then Walkman YouTuber cidco, who
frequently *
that's extremely profound, says know that the true believer his
truthfulness, veracity sincerity is going to be
it's going to be tested at every moment.
his truthfulness to Allah, whether he's truly Siddiq, right, that's
going to be tested at every moment.
Well, now that we know that the point of telling us this is that
we probably not sure if we were aware of this, it's a reality. But
when you're told about this, you start thinking of it like that.
And the benefit of it is that you think that Okay, the next time,
you know I'm having to make a decision about something Do I
really love Allah or not? So I've got a possibility of a sin
In front of me,
right? Am I really truthful to Allah or not? Why am I going to
fall into this other thing? So I'm being tested.
So know that a believer is going to be tested, his sick is going to
be tested in every state.
more tolerable. NAFSA will bill Bilwa apparently, this, this
particular statement, according to the editor, as well, it's a bit
confusing the statement, but it seems like he's gonna have to test
himself through trials that will come upon him, there's gonna
always going to be tests. So he's going to have to test himself,
there's always going to be some challenge that's going to come in
front of you by which
humans become purified. It's like, it's almost like life is just full
of hurdles. I mean, that's a statement anyway, life is full of
hurdles.
Life is like an assault course.
And there's just various different things that you're going to have
to come and whoever reaches the end, without being messed up too
much, they're gonna go to paradise.
So when you understand that it is an assault course, I guess it
makes it easier to Okay, I have to do this as a sole cause. If you
think it's a walk in a park, and it's a bit of that, then then
we're in for a rude surprise, right. But if you know that it is
going to be difficult,
then you get used to it, you get prepared for it. Hopefully, it's
always nice to know where you're going.
Like, if you know you're going and there's not going to be any water,
well, you're going to take some water with you. But if you get
then you find out there's no water there, then you're like oh no, I
wish I bought that my water.
You go somewhere and then you didn't know it was going to be
colder. So for example, once I went to Hajj, and I haven't taken
anything because I thought it was summer here with some of this. I
don't need a jacket. Right? Well, why would you need a jacket? In
the planes that give you blankets anyway? So where would you need a
jacket? Got back after the hudge did the airports and it is
freezing?
I don't know maybe they had a lot of money at that time. They you
know, the AC was just blasting like really cold. Really cold
metal? No, maybe it was about 13 degrees or 12 degrees is freezing
or maybe less than that. I was like, Oh no, why did I bring a
jumper. Now had I known every tear I go even though it's summer
still, I take a take a fleece with me in my hand luggage because I
know that I don't want to mess around in the airports. Because
then you know, you already got like a bit of a cold or cough or
whatever. And then that just aggravates it, and then it becomes
worse. So when you know about something, it's always nice to
know. And that's why reading more and understanding more it gives us
these reminders, it keeps telling us look, you know, because you may
forget may imagine somebody who knows about this, but then after
he hasn't been for 10 years, he goes back after 10 years and OH NO
MAN I forgotten again. That happened to me 10 years ago. So
it's just like Life is like that the more we know about life, the
more we know that there's going to be difficulties is easy if you
prepare for it.
We ask Allah for help.
Rakeem only Allah here Allah enough see. So the person needs to
be always for the sake of Allah, very conscious about themselves
actually supervising them in Rocky when somebody watches very
carefully
saying a person needs to watch themselves very carefully.
Otherwise, we are going to allow ourselves to go on the wrong way.
Because we're not careful. So a person the wording his uses is
that you have to be just very careful about yourself. Always
looking out for yourself with all of these tools that he's providing
for first but Allah Maha digital hotkey for in a camera down. So
remain with the true with the proofs of, of, of the Huck always
go according to the Quran, and the Sunnah, and whatever gives you the
hack. That's the most important for you. Look at this.
This, this particular incident will kind of highlight to us what
kind of balance is required here. Imam Muhammad didn't know humble.
It's a famous story about his Inquisition.
The ruler of the time came up with this strange idea about the Quran,
the nature of the Quran. It's highly theological, and completely
I'm not going to go into it right now, but I've discussed it. I've
actually got a biography of Muhammad and even a humble on
zamzam Academy if you want. And he's in saviors of Assam
experience as well if you want to read about it. So his Inquisition,
he was put into prison and then he was going to be whipped. So now
he's put into prison. Remember, there's a number of other scholars
have been killed for not believing and not not accepting the belief
that the ruler of the time wanted them to accept. So a number of
them have been killed. A number of them are in prison, Imam Muhammad
Abdul humble. It was such a it was such a desperate and serious
situation that a number of older man actually
interpreted or gave a different impression about their beliefs and
got away. That's how far it became. But Mr. Muhammad he stood
up and he said, I'm not going to compromise in this at all.
So it says that
he was imprisoned. He was shackled.
He his feet were shackled to the ground. He didn't care about the
fact that he was in prison. That didn't bother him. Neither did it
bother him that he was going to be killed with a sword. That much he
says that that didn't bother me, because that's all for the sake of
Allah. I'm fine with that. He says, what I can have a Yoda Alpha
gismo, where he was worried about was that his body would become
weak.
His body would become weak so that he couldn't undertake the
punishment. He was only concerned that I won't be able to take this
persecution. He didn't mind being killed. But he didn't want to
become weak. So he couldn't take the persecution. And thus then say
something because He was whipped. He was whipped so much that he
said that if if an elephant was ripped, like they would have
fallen, right, that's how much they ripped him. And he said
harder and harder. So he's saying that the real what he was most
fearful about was that his body would become weak, he wouldn't be
able to tolerate the persecution, he would then his patience. Right
for the sake of truth, the perseverance that he had, that
would diminish. That would diminish like he couldn't stay
strong. That's what he felt. So
Allah subhanho wa taala, basically inspired him,
inspired him with a number of words, number of kanematsu number
of verses or whatever, which helped him to get through it. He
says, what happened is actually, Allah gave, Allah taught him
certain things and inspired him from really venues that he would
never have expected it to come from. He says that,
with him.
Were a number of thieves.
A number of thieves, the number of Bedouins
and
a number of
other criminals in the prison.
Basically, from them, he learns
that he'll be able to
gain the energy to deal with these things. He said, I would never
have expected that I would learn from these people. But they were
there and he said he learned from them. So that's how he managed to
become stronger. His patients increased. And even though his
shoulder was dislocated in the flogging, right, until he became I
mean, he became unconscious, but he was able to be patient and he
was able to remain with the on the true opinion he didn't give it up
at all. So if you want to be strong, Allah will help you and
he'll give you
these things from where you would never have accepted expected these
things to come from.
That's why in YBNL Josie is biography of Imam Muhammad even
though humble he says that llama Aki that hammered me in Baghdad
was for Ruby De La Rocca.
When Mr. Muhammad no humble was picked up in Baghdad, and then
they were taking him to rock you know, rock, they was famous. I
mean,
it's in the northern part of Syria. That's where he was
imprisoned. Some of their other mouths they came to him to remind
him
about certain a hadith in which you're allowed to hide your true
opinion when it becomes very serious and you're going to be
killed and so on. So they were trying to Our Mercy, right out of
compassion for him. Look, you got these ahaadeeth And you know, you
can use them you don't have to do what you're doing. You can just
kind of say something else because it's a life and death situation.
So some some of their own money, but even Muhammad, he says, I'm
not going to do takia I'm not going to hide the true opinion. I
need to fight for this one. He said to them gave it us now I'm
gonna be Hadith the hubbub. So he's giving them another Hadith is
what what's your response to the hadith of hubub in an orator the
Allah one in the men Karna publikum Kana Yun shahada, humble
min SHA familia Sudha, DECA and dini. Now the famous about Ababa
the Allahu Allah and the Prophet, he came to the Prophet Elijah and
the prophets Allah and told them we were sitting by the Kaaba
person kind of got up when he to answer him that you think it's
going to be so easy, you're going to be tested. Right? You're going
to be tested, there's going to be things and that's why we're
constantly being tested here. Nothing compared to what they
test. Well, you know, that was it. killable Cindy, what was it?
Punish a Muslim day.
Don't punish a Muslim day, right? I mean, these are just all trials.
But there's they're nothing compared to this and hamdulillah
May Allah protect us. I mean, they seem like compared to this he says
that in that hadith he mentions that the prophets Allah I'm saying
that before you they were people who would whose flesh would be
separated from their bones using metal, metal shears metal cones,
right until it was I mean, that just sounds gory. That sounds so
difficult to even some Elias should do that he can do but that
did not prevent them from the Adeem that did not prevent them
from the deme.
So that's why he totally
wrecked refused.
And he said to them, I don't care that I'm imprisoned.
He says, my home and this prison is the same thing for me. Like I'm
there, I'm here. I'm probably doing what I'm doing anyway, it
doesn't make a difference to me. Neither do I care about being
killed by the sword.
What I do here, though, is being persecuted with that flogging
because I don't know if I'm going to be able to
to tolerate them. What a half or Anla Asbill
and I fear that I won't be able to tolerate it. So that is when some
other prisoners who were there when he's speaking to this alum,
that's when the other prisoners said to him law aka about Abdullah
from our who are in law, so Tom, so Mullah 38 year old Berkey,
Allahu Akbar, this prisoner said to him, you know, you're gonna
feel the first two of these floggings. Then after that, you
won't know where the rest
you will only feel the first two after that you'll be gone you
won't feel the rest don't worry about it.
You won't feel the rest of them at all. forgotten who soon surgery
and that was the right time for that person to say that and it was
like Imam Muhammad, you know, humble was relieved that oh
hamdulillah
What are you going to do in that situation? But then to think in
that correct way that that's what I'm worried about?
Not that I'm worried about that. I'm going to be beaten but worried
about why you're going to be beaten what is going to do to you
Allah. So you might have Muhammad Rahim Allah says
he says I did not mass him to kill him at the moon Diwakar to vehicle
umbrella the waka tofi Aqua mean kill him at our being can lemony
fear or habit in fear fear Robert EToken is the name of place called
Dr. Hamid and you have to local heck commit the Shahidan we're in
esta esta Hamid and fucka. We are Kobe is getting all his
reassurance from one of these people. He says this Arabi this
Bedouin so Mr. Muhammad says that I've never heard a
statement or
words that were said to me.
Regarding the Inquisition that I was afflicted with, that were more
powerful for me and more strengthening for me, then these
words that were sent to me by this Bedouin right in this place called
Raha to talk, right? He said to be armored. If they kill you, right?
Then you're gonna die as a shade. And if you stay alive, you're
gonna you're gonna be praised by people, so you're fine. So either
way, you're fine. So basically, it's like the end justifies the
means, in a sense, don't worry about what happens in between. If
you die, you're a shaheed. And if you're alive, then people if you
remain alive, people are going to praise you. So it's worth doing
what you're doing. It's well worth doing what you're doing for Kobe,
Kobe, My heart got strengthened it I never expected that to happen.
For some Arab you telling me this.
His son Abdullah, says that I used to constantly hear my father say,
meaning Imam Muhammad, I used to constantly hear him say, may Allah
have mercy and I will hate them. May Allah forgive, I will hate
them. May Allah pardonable hate them? I said, Yeah, it'd be
miserable. Hasan who's Izabal hates them that you keep making
the offer.
Right. So he said Don't you know, said no. He said, I will hate them
we'll headed.
That's kind of interesting, isn't it? But this one is a bull Haitham
al heard that the father of Haitham Al had that
this will will hate them. Al had done. So Imam Muhammad is
explaining to his son, he said, you know, the day that I was taken
from the prison to go and be flogged, and my, my arms were
being extended between the two posts to be tied to the two posts
so that they will be tied there so that I would be spread like this
so that they could flog me, right.
He said that suddenly there was somebody grabbing my clothing from
the back. somebody's pulling up my clothing from the back. And he was
saying to me telephony, do you recognize me? And I said, No, he
says hon Hi thermal Aiyar.
So he called himself Aiyar. Somebody who you can say is
So who basically says bad things about others right? It's not it's
a negative right? And the sheet will mousy somebody who is known
to be a big very disciplined very mister very big criminal. Right He
says that's why I'm I will hide them a year. He was a list. He was
a list and a thorough basically he was he was a thief he was a
robber, and he was a pickpockets, professional pickpockets. He was
known for it. Now, how is he going to help you mama? Do you think
about it? How is he going to help you mama? Well, you see, this is
where Allah provides you from places that you never thought of.
He says, I have been I am registered in the state, you know,
in the courts as according to the immediate meaning that I have been
a you can go and check. He says I have been flogged.
18,000 times.
Like over the course of my life I've been flogged 18,000 times
was Subhadra to feva, deca, ALLAH Ta RT shaytani agilely dunya. And
in all of that I have taken it I have borne that I have persevered
through that in obedience to the shaytaan. I did that for the
shaytaan he's obviously saying it in hindsight that I did that for a
wrong course. First bill and Fatah to Rama Neely actually been so you
be patient, you persevere through this for the sake of obedience to
the ramen for the sake of your dream. Now, if somebody tells you
that
your iman is going to go out of the roof, Allahu Akbar, can you
imagine somebody has been
18,000 flogs for the sake of shaytaan and he says, I survived,
you can easily survive for the sake of the deme.
So Imam Muhammad said,
for duty to Thurman Yetta Ashura Sultan, I was struck 18 times I
was flogged 18 times instead of 18,000 times.
Now they struck him well, though, they stuck him really because one
of those people who struck him one of those floggers, he says that
if I had struck a camera like that, that camera would have
fallen.
That's how he was he fainted. He fainted, and his heart arm was
dislocated. Because remember, he was hung like that outstretched,
but his his people, they the people who actually flogged him,
they say that we really struck him hard because the matassa was
saying, strike him harder, strike him harder. So there you go.
That's, that's a truly a lesson in sha Allah gives us Sophia, it
gives us that it's not easy to be a Muslim. I mean, it's supposed to
be easy, but it's not easy. Like there's going to be Chinese so
easy to be a human being in this world. There's always difficulties
and there's always challenges, regardless of who you are.
There are people who suffer
and they're not Muslim, but they suffer because they don't get
enough food, they don't get this they psychological depression,
maybe they've got some other problem, maybe got some problem
with their children, whatever it may be. Everybody has issues. But
if you're on the truth and you got a cause worth living for, then
these troubles are not not a problem. We have to undertake
them. Allah opens up other paths for you. Some paths of yours
become closed, Allah opens up other paths Ijebu Allah subhanaw
taala the world is vast. So we ask Allah subhana wa Taala for help We
ask Allah for help. So
that's why he says was doc fifth Tada. The third is Ali, el mal

You be sincere in your striving, be sincere in your striving. And
you will then be given the knowledge of the insights of the
Divine insight, you will be things will be opened up for you and you
will figure these things out. And then he mentions a number of other
things and we will we will
