skateable Hichem, the book of
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			wisdoms. The next aphorism
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:29
			we're going to cover is number 235
on page 207. If not authority,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:36
			Allah says, in general either
either add him, Kala takuna Serkin

00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			quite a really simple but very
important idea, he only made
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:57
			affliction come at the hands of
people so that you not repurposing
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			them.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			He only allowed difficulties and
afflictions to come to you from
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			other people, sometimes the
closest people to us,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			just so that you don't get too
comfortable with them.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			You don't repose in them, but
rather in Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			all the time.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			He wanted to drive you out of
everything so that nothing would
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			divert you from him.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			He wanted to drive you out of
everything so that nothing would
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			divert you from him.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			So before we start looking at this
in a bit more depth, what's going
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			on here is that look, difficulties
are part and parcel of this world,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			this world is full of change in
difficulty. And if you look
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			around, whether that be in the
crops, whether that be in the
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			land, or whatever, sometimes, good
things happen. Sometimes bad
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			things happen. Sometimes crops,
there's a good season. Other times
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			there's a bad season. So just like
with everything else, whether that
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			be natural growth of plants and
trees and products, trees,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			sometimes mashallah you have these
wonderful trees, they provide a
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			lot of fruit and everything in
shade. But then other times, you
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			actually have trees that are
struck and afflicted by disease.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			There's the elm tree in the UK,
which is,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			which has a problem right now,
among other trees as well. So
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			likewise, with everything else in
this world, you have a car, he
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			goes very well, suddenly breaks
sometimes has a bit of an issue.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			So the humans are just like the
same thing. You just can never
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			have a perfection in this world.
It's not designed for it. There's
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:42
			just no way to have perfection in
this world. So difficulties come.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			Now it's about how we react to
that difficulty. That really
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			matters. Because that is upon
which the satisfaction,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			contentment
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			depends on in this life for a lot
of people.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			You know, when people are
depressed or when people are
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			not comfortable with something,
when they're sad about something,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			when they have a grief about
something, when they find the a
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			lot of stress. What is that? Where
is that stress coming from? It's
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			because there's instability.
Something different has happened,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			something not what they wanted.
Why else would you get it? If
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			everything's perfect? There's very
few people who get stressed by
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			that. But generally, the stress
comes because of difficulty and
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:38
			change, alteration, unexpected
happenings, somewhere surprises.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			But should any of that be a
surprise? Well, I guess some
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:46
			things can be a surprise. But when
the way to manage this, as any
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			therapist will tell you, is about
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			managing through expectation,
through understanding what it's
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			all about why things happen.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			And Islamically, we have got
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			a beautiful understanding our
whole faith is based on the rain
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			on the unseen. And this is all
unseen, this is exactly part of
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			life. This is part of faith.
Alladhina Umino. And I believe how
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			faith is based on the unseen.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			And this is all part of the unseen
in a sense, because Allah is the
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:25
			One who plan planning all of this
and we don't know. So the first
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			thing is to just get an
understanding that this all
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			happens from Allah. It's the
nature of the world. It's
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			inevitable, it's gonna happen. But
we're going to ask Allah for as
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			less as possible of that, so that
we have more outfits. I don't
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:44
			think you can escape it entirely
calamities. Number two, what he's
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			telling us now here is a wisdom of
why things happen. So Heinola
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			when you know that there's a
teacher of yours. For example, I
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			pick on the students who I know
are very good.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			But they've got a little flaw a
little issue, so I pick on them
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			If I go to a masjid to pray a lot
and I listened to the Imam and
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			he's got lots of Tajweed mistakes
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			I don't have time to because how
can you correct so much in a quick
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			meeting you go to another town
another Masjid if it's your local
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			Imam it's something else but if
it's somewhere else you go and
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			mashallah, you know, he's making
so many mistakes
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			in that Allah who are in a garage,
Iran now what are you going to say
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			to him? You just pray for him?
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			Because difficult to go into and
brother correct your tweet. So we
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			hope that they will, however, I go
to some messages and the Imam
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:38
			mashallah has good reading. This
is making a silly mistake
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			somewhere on Oversight and
something there, I think that
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			there's worth telling them
something. So I, if I get a
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			chance, I'll tell you, brother, I
really enjoy shave, I really
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			enjoyed your reading. You know,
there's just this one or two
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			things, if you correct that it'd
be like leaning flawless, like
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			white students. That's why we tell
our children off. If our children
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			could just understand, can you
imagine we get it? But did we get
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			it when we were children being
told off?
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			If our children can just know from
the age of five and six, that it's
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			actually for my good. They're
telling me, they're not really
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			against me. They're not just being
tight. They're not just being
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			overly strict. It's actually they
weren't good for me that would
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			suddenly become easy. When on that
child. Can you imagine that?
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			You're like, oh, yeah, hamdulillah
No problem, I'll sort it out.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			So But even we become adults, and
we just don't understand that with
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Allah subhanaw taala it's the same
thing. We're always children in
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			front of Allah, like children in
front of Allah.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			When it comes to children, you
know, when they start realizing
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			it's a bit, you know, then they're
like, 20 years old. You know,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			hopefully, they'll realize before
that
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			it's the same kind of thing. He's
telling us something which we as
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:57
			children, like children in front
of Allah, it would be like our
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			children would understand the same
thing he's saying. So this is what
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			he's saying. He's saying, he only
made the affliction come to you at
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			the hands of people so that you
would not to get too comfortable
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			and repose with them. But rather,
Allah wants to drive you out of
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			everything, so that nothing will
divert you from him, which means
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			that Allah wants you to go to him.
So when you have difficulties from
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			people, especially from people
that you've trusted, that's the
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:28
			worst ones, what hurts you the
most, some enemy who's Okay, I
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			understand that, at least
psychologically, it might be
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			hurtful. They physically do
something to you, they've done you
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:39
			a monetary harm, a major
economical harm, or something of
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			that nature is going to be hurtful
in that sense. But if you're not,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			well, what do I expect from that
person, at least that doesn't
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			hurt. But when it happens from
your own people who you trusted,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			suddenly that hurt to just
increases? Oh, he was part of it
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			as well. That's what leads me
like, I just don't know how to
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			forgive that I just, I just can't
get my head around it, they say.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			So Allah is saying, Allah, Allah
gives us difficulties through
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			people, sometimes not all the
time, don't expect that all your
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:13
			close friends are gonna suddenly
become unfaithful to you. But it
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			can happen. And that's up to Allah
subhanaw taala. Because he doesn't
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			want you to be comfortable with
anyone except him. And if you are
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			comfortable with anybody, he must
be for his reason for his sake. So
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			it's not like you can't be
comfortable with your parents and
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:32
			with your spouse and children,
whoever you can be. But you have
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			to realize Allah is the one in
charge of everything.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			So you do it for the sake of Allah
subhanaw taala. That's all he's
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			saying. He's just saying that he's
going to make devotees come from
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			your very own sometimes, because
that's his way of doing it. Now,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			people are going to react in
multiple ways. Some people are
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:57
			going to cause a huge family feud.
Some people are gonna get so
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			depressed, that they don't even
know what to do next. They just
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			don't know where to go with this.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			And that's the difficulty when you
know Allah more, you just become
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			calmer in life. Because it's like
you understand how the world
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			works.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:21
			There's two people one knows the
teacher that they do get mock
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:26
			angry, and they get mock inferior
ated and they tell them off. So
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:30
			there's two students, they both
made a mistake but one knows that
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			been with them for a very long
time. And the other one doesn't,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			oh, one's gonna get really
depressed. They might break down
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			seeing the app and the other ones
like please forgive me. I know the
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			way to deal with this. Like, you
know, I don't worry next time,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			it'd be fine. What if not, I
thought Allah is saying is that
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			the rule of a human being when he
gets too comfortable with anything
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:55
			of this world? That's bad for it?
Because the comforts this world is
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			temporary so you can't get too
comfortable with it.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			We can only be comforted
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			is the next world because that's
permanent. So we can't be
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			comfortable in this world,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			too comfortable with it in the
sense that you just feel secure,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			to secure, and you start to love
everything in it too much to take
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			it into your heart,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			then what happens is that that's
just going to make it difficult
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			for you to get to the next world
to even focus on it.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			Because if you love this world too
much, then why would you focus on
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:33
			the next world? If you love this
world, for the sake of the next
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			world, then that's fine.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			I mean, you must love this world.
Because if we weren't given a
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			chance to be here, what would we
be doing? What would we get in the
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			Hereafter, so you can love it for
that reason, hamdulillah Allah has
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:51
			given me this world so that I can
build for the hereafter. That's
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			one way to understand this world.
So it's not like you're saying I
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:58
			hate this world. Just hate to put
it in your heart. Because that's
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			not where it should be. But you
need to get by in this world as
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:01
			well.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			So the animal Rouhani
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:10
			is what the rule needs, which
means the world, the world of the
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			souls, where eventually we all end
up going, which is the hereafter,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			that's the real world for
ourselves, because that's where
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:21
			they will remain forever. That's
where we came from. We came from
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			Ireland, or Wha, we're gonna go
back to another world, this place,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			we just here for a short while, so
doesn't want us to get comfortable
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:27
			here.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:33
			So it's part of the Hickmott of
Allah, the wisdom of Allah
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			subhanaw taala. And actually his
kindness, because he knows the
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:39
			future. That's why he knows if I
let you indulge right now, you're
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			not going to know anything. You're
not going to be prepared. So can
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			you see how it becomes kindness?
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:51
			Like, how is that kindness? Well,
it's kindness, when you look at
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:51
			the future,
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			and we must be people of the
future, not just off today.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:00
			Because that's never benefited
anybody. Why We Should we people
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			of tomorrow, because that's where
we're gonna go.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			Well, why are we going to go
there? Well, because that's what
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			Allah has written. And that's
where everybody goes, we can't
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			help it. We're in that system.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			So it's actually Allah's look, and
his kindness that he's made. He's
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19
			letting that happen. But it's only
his kindness when he lets that
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:23
			happen. And we understand this.
Because for those people who
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			shriek and freak out, and get even
more depressed than I mean, the
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			reason that happens, they don't
know Allah. That's really the
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			simple thing. They just don't know
Allah.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			Or they're not willing to accept
it. Most of the time, it's just
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			Jehovah. I mean, how many people
would know this idea?
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			This is a deep idea how many
people would know this, you can
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			only know this when you love
someone and you know they love
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			them, then you know that
everything that comes from that,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			beloved, must be for good cause.
That means there's an absence of
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			love for Allah. That's why we
don't know. That's why when things
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			like that happened, we think Allah
has just forsaken us.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			So that Allah subhanaw taala has
kindness
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:12
			for his Olia for his Willie for
his friends, that Allah subhanho
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			wa taala. Just disturbs things
that they may get too attached to,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20
			so that they don't get attached to
them. So He disturbs those things.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			So they don't you don't feel like
you can rely on that. I'll give
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			you an example. You're looking to
buy a house.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			Right? You're looking to buy a
house. And you know, you put your
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			emotion in there. Because I mean,
why else would you buy a house,
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			you're not buying houses every day
you and especially in London, when
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			they're expensive. It's a big
investment. So you're really going
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			to figure out what you want. And
then after that, you're going to
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			get emotionally attached, you're
going to look at the neighborhood,
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			you're going to look at the
potentials of that house, you're
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			going to look at all of that. Now,
all of that creates emotion. Now
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			you really put your heart in
there. And then suddenly, you lose
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			it because somebody else bids you
over video and you know how far
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			you're gonna go. Like, you know,
you only have a certain amount of
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			money. So then you feel really,
really, really let down. You get
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			angry at the other person. But
there's no What are you going to
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			do? You don't even know who the
other bidder is, you know, maybe
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			you want to stand outside the
household and find out who he is
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			and beat him up like La hawla wala
Quwata illa biLlah you know, what
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			are you what are you going to do?
Are you going to get angry on the
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:24
			agent, sometimes Subhanallah the
agents are playing games, they
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			take bribes from from, you know,
one buyer or whatever it is, and
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:31
			they'll just make sure that they
talk to the owner in a way that
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:35
			that person will get it because
he's going to make the agent is
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			going to make Subhanallah bribes
5000 pounds in the process or
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			10,000 part in the process,
depending on the price.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			Yeah, I mean, I can see you can
get angry with all of that, but
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			it's not worth it.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			It's not worth getting angry. Just
going to trouble yourself because
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			you can't do anything.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			So the next time you make sure
you're the highest buyer
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			and then what happens is that the
owner decides
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			not to sell. Now you're gonna get
angry on the owner. You let us you
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			put it on the market you've had it
on for three months and then you
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			pull it out afterwards
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			who you're gonna get angry on?
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			Is it worth getting it? What are
you gonna get out of it wasting
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:20
			time? You gotta go and find
another house. Eventually like,
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			man, Allah just give me wherever
is good. So the next time you're
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:28
			looking so the next time what
happens is that first house you
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			lost suddenly comes back to you.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:36
			Because the guy who overbid you,
he eventually didn't buy it. So
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			the owner comes back to you, even
though he let you down the first
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			time.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			So now you're more cautious.
You're not going to put your heart
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			and emotion in it because you've
learned a lesson, hopefully.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			So now you're like, Okay, I'm
gonna leave it all I'm gonna do
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56
			every now leading up to Allah does
not mean that, yeah, if it comes
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			up, you know, I'm not gonna do
much about it. No, you have to
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			make an effort. But
psychologically, and emotionally,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			you're not attached.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:09
			Until you get it, well, even then
you shouldn't be attached. You
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:13
			know what I mean? You need to
personalize it, you need to make
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			it yours. But then you don't want
to become attached to the dunya
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:21
			too much. You can enjoy it, that's
fine. But you must know that Allah
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			is giving it to me. So now what
you do is you just take it easy.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			To be honest, when you're like
that you're in a better bargaining
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			position.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:33
			The best bargain is that those who
are willing to walk away so even
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			from that perspective, you're
better off and you're like,
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			whenever Allah gives it to me, and
whichever one Allah gives, because
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			you're doing istikhara now as well
properly,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			you can do is the harder but you
still to it, you know, the first
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			time he was doing istikhara was
still too emotionally attached.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:51
			But now No, because you realized
after two losses, that that's what
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			it is, I can't. So let me now just
leave it to Allah and Inshallah,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			when I do get the right one, it
will be the best one.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:03
			And you start seeing the wisdoms
afterwards. Same thing with cars,
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			same thing with anything.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:09
			Just have to leave it to Allah,
but you have to do your best.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			Right? A lot of people mistake
they must just sit back and do
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:15
			nothing. No, you have to do your
best. You have to make lots of
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			dua, you have to do everything
that the world demands from you,
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			except haram stuff like don't give
bribes. Right.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			And Allah will create a way for
you eventually, when it's right,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			and the thing will be right in sha
Allah.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			So that's what he's saying, Allah
doesn't want you he wants you to
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			turn to him. That's it, he wants
you to turn to him. And then when
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			you do turn to Him, you just get
more anyway. Because Allah gives
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			great greater things.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			So then he actually says that
those people get really close to
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:49
			Allah, they will actually find
difficulty coming from their own
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			people.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			I fear that. It's like you want to
be close to Allah, but you don't
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:58
			want to go through difficulty. So
that's why Allah give us closest
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			to you with alphabets,
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			with well being.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			So anyway, when a person starts
realizing this, hopefully sooner
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:12
			than later, his rule is soul will
never depend on this world. He
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			will use this world and
everything, but he'll be much more
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:19
			detached. So we're in the world,
but we're detached.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:26
			You know, all of these people who
are successful in the, the all
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:30
			they've done is they've detached
themselves, but they in the world,
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			but they've detached themselves
right in the heart. So it's in
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			their hands, they're working in
the world, they're doing things in
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			a world but their heart is
detached the heart is for Allah.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			So when a person gets really
tight, constrained with all of
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			these things, and like I can't
wait, he'll say you're gonna turn
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			you're gonna turn to Allah
subhanaw taala you're gonna turn
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:53
			to Allah subhanaw taala when that
happens so many times you just
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:57
			will do this for the rest of your
life. It won't be just for that
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			particular thing, it will be for
the rest of your life in
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			everything that you do, you will
be focused on Allah
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			and then you will become very
successful about it.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:12
			The problem is that if the knifes
otherwise stays too satisfied with
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:17
			the dunya with its glory, and
everything else, then it's just
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			never gonna be able to prepare for
the other world prepare to meet
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:27
			Allah. And that is just difficult.
So you know, when only you read
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			the story of Alia, you read the
story of Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			alayhi wa sallam is the same
thing. His whole life was like
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			that. Allah subhanho wa Taala he
causes turbulence in everything,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			so that you don't become dependent
on that thing.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			Allah subhanho wa Taala doesn't
want anything to distract you from
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			him.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:53
			Because it is absolutely
impossible that you witness others
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:57
			along with Allah. You should only
witness Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			should only see him behind
everything, nothing else.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Do you see others but they all
because of Allah, Allah is the One
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			who pulls every string.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			There's no way that you can love
Allah and love others
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			independently. Yes, you can love
others for the sake of Allah.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			Allah just refuses that you can
love anybody along with him
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			for the sake of themselves yoni.
Now the interesting thing is that
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:28
			once Allah subhanaw taala does the
tarbiyah he purifies a person
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:32
			connects him to himself, then
after that the person can be with
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			everyone and he won't make a
difference, but he'll be with
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			everybody.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:44
			That's why it mentioned in one of
the author's other books, that
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:48
			when Allah subhanaw taala makes
you suddenly get to this
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:52
			realization, then what happens is
that you actually free yourself
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			from the slavery to others.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			What that means is that generally
what happens is that when somebody
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:04
			does your good deed, a good turn,
you feel like you owe them and
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			that's the nature of the world
that you do owe people and Islam
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:12
			wants you to reciprocate in the
right way as well. But the Prophet
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:16
			sallallahu sallam said this man
esta la cama rufen, whoever does
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:22
			you a good turn, lends you money,
feeds you, assist you guide you
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			consult gives you a consultant,
whatever it may be, then for Kathy
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			who repay him,
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:32
			reciprocate, do a good turn back
to him. For in them talk the rule
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:36
			like if you've got no way to do
that, no ability to do that with
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			giving him something, giving them
something back then further ruler
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			who then at least make dua for
them.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			Because what that does is that
will at least take your heart away
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:49
			from this feeling of obligation.
So you need to do something with
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:53
			them. But then do it, do that and
get out of it. So that way you
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			don't feel there's some people I
know you give them a gift, they'll
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:59
			always give you something back. So
it's never like, I've got one on
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			him. Right? That's the best
attitude.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			shakable hasn't said to such a
degree. Now this might be
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			difficult for a lot of us to
understand, but put in this
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			perspective. He says
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:17
			flee from better people, good
people, people who do good flee
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			from them even more than you flee
from bad people. Like why man, I
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			want to be with good people, he
doesn't mean run away from them,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			basically means that be much more
careful there because you don't
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			want to become slaves to goodness,
just
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:35
			because he says that their
goodness and the good will afflict
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:39
			you in your heart. Whereas the
other people that evil will
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			afflict you on your in your body,
if that's what they're doing.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:48
			And it's worse what you get struck
by in the heart if it's the wrong
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:52
			thing, especially if it's a bad if
it's a bad person. And if it's bad
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			company, then that's really really
bad.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			Because then it's going to take
you to evil. It's not it's a level
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			beyond this.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			And he's saying that enemy which
actually connects you to Allah
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			forces you to turn to Allah
subhanaw taala is superior than a
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:12
			than a friend that will sever you
from Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			that's what you know, when you
have good friends Masha Allah and
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			they do good for you, thank Allah,
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			you just have to recognize coming
from Allah not from them. Allah is
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:28
			making them do that. We do need to
reciprocate. But at the end of the
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			day, it's Allah who is doing that.
So that way that doesn't become
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			harmful anymore. So he's not
trying to say that don't take any
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37
			good favors from anyone that you
got to work on, like Ibrahim is
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:37
			now something
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			but at least realize that it's
coming from Allah subhanho wa
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:45
			taala, Allah has sent that person
sugar to Allah, it's just part of
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			your sugar process.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			It's actually they say that,
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			when a person really gets serious
about connecting to Allah
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			subhanho, wa taala, initially
they're going to have, they're
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:59
			possibly going to have a lot of
difficulties, potentially, they're
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			gonna have to grapple with a
number of issues when they first
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			get very serious about this,
because Allah is purifying them,
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			he needs to upset them first. You
know, when you first start
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:13
			training, it's much more difficult
until you get used to it, then you
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			know exactly what you're doing.
But initially is much more
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			difficult to start running, you
know, to start lifting or whatever
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			it is that a person is doing.
That's that's kind of a similar
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			idea here.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			And we understand this from verse
in the Quran in surah baqarah
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:33
			verse 214, Allah says, was zero
hedaya cooler Rasulullah Latina
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:37
			Aman Omar who Mata Nasir Allah,
Allah in the nostril Allah He
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			Corrib they were shaken.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:45
			They were set upon the turbulence
until the messenger and those who
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			believe with him said when is the
assistance of Allah gonna come?
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:53
			This is all part of that. Allah in
the Nasir Allah He Corrib that the
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:58
			victory from Allah the assistance
from Allah is very, very close. So
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			the difficulties Jen
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			really bring about goodness
afterwards. Difficulties are
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			generally followed by an opening,
because night is followed by day.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:13
			Winters are followed by spring and
summer. Generally what happens is
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			a period
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:21
			now you don't want to get into
summer, miserable. You want to
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			enjoy it when it comes. So that's
why
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			some people when they just I just
can't believe it when some people
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			have difficulties, they just start
complaining about Allah.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			The only answer I have for that is
really you need to understand who
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			Allah is, you have not, then you
say, Oh, I might my faith is
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:46
			shaken. My faith is shaking, or my
faith is becoming weak. Well, it's
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			wants to force you to get to know
Allah better. That's our that's
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52
			what this world is all about. To
get to know Allah subhanho wa
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:56
			Taala Some have said that, you
know, when an enemy does something
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:00
			to you, that's actually Naziha
it's like a whip from Allah. It's
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:06
			like an advice that Allah has used
this enemy to give us. shakable
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:09
			Hassan says that once I was
troubled by somebody, he insulted
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			me or something like that, and I
felt really bad about it.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17
			Like it was really a big affront
to me, I felt really bad about it.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:22
			I have slept. And in my dream, I
see somebody telling me that look,
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:27
			if you want to be Siddiq, if you
want to get to the McCollum of CDT
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			which we discussed, that's the
highest McCollum before you can be
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			you know before a prophecy you
can't become prophet but the
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:38
			closest you can get to the last
highest level which is a kind of
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			an endless level is sit down at
your
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			absolute truthfulness with Allah
if you want to get to that you're
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:49
			gonna you could have a lot of
enemies. You have to just learn to
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:53
			ignore it all for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala so what we
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			understand now is that when you
look at the lives and you read the
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			biographies of the great people,
you find that a lot of them had
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:02
			difficulty right. So that means is
that is the sunnah to Allah He
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06
			fell out. That is Allah sunnah
that is Allah's way in this world,
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			for an entity that is soon Atilla
heeta Videla. As Allah says in
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:16
			surah, 240, you're never going to
find the way of Allah to change
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:19
			the method that Allah using this
world is constantly going to be
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:23
			the same. That's why learning
history, reading history is
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26
			extremely useful because that's
what Allah does. It's just gone
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			through cycles.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			Very useful. Those who don't know
history, they're very depressed
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			today. With the situation that's
happening.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:39
			Merci Luxa. We actually lost Mr.
Luxa. For 90 something years. I
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			just give a give a lecture about
this. And in Oxford yesterday, we
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:48
			lost AXA itself for 90 something
years, 9091 years. We still have
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			it. It's you know, there's
problems there. But we still have
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			it at least there. We actually
lost it. Till Salahuddin Rahim
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			Allah came and took it back.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			So we've had worse than what we're
having today. Today's not the
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			worst, that we're going through
that so I'm very optimistic that
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:05
			things will be better. There's a
lot of signs of goodness in the
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			world of things being better than
50 years ago.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			There's some things which are
messed up more, but there's a lot
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:16
			of good stuff. I mean, just take
the example of Turkey how messed
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20
			up that was 50 years ago. Totally
secular. Now look at where it is.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24
			And a number of other places. Same
kind of thing. Uzbekistan, look at
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:28
			where that was 50 years ago,
Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, all of
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			these areas. I have hope I've got
a lot of hope.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			May Allah subhanaw taala make that
a reality?
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38
			If you look at the prophets, Allah
Allah isms life the best example
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			that we have, we can't be any
better than the prophets of Allah,
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			some like that's impossible. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:48
			look at what he first received at
the hands of the Quraysh in
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:52
			Makkah, of the proclaim the truth,
and the Benoit.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:57
			After that, he stayed there for 13
years, his muck in life is 13
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:01
			years of difficulty. I don't know
if you ever have a day of comfort
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:05
			day of calmness in there. There
was difficulty after difficulty
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:09
			after 13 years of it. Then after
that the Prophet sallallahu meant
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			to Madina Munawwara thought that
would be people thought that would
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:16
			be easier. It was easier in a
sense, but there was still
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:20
			difficulty war after war. Now,
there were no wars in Makkah. But
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			now there were battles people
coming to attack.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			Not just that it wasn't just war
and
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:33
			fighting. There was the enmity
that was shown by the other tribes
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			there. The Yahoo tribes for
example.
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			Betrayal,
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:45
			other investigations, the monarchy
team, the hypocrites, that's
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			probably worse than than a war
than a battle you know, the
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:55
			constant turbulence, no stability,
until finally, Allah subhanho wa
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:58
			Taala He Allah He went to Allah
subhanho wa Taala
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			likewise after that was his Sahaba
same kind of thing
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			for a while, until eventually
Allah subhanaw taala gave them
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			great glory. But then we still had
issues throughout.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			We had
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allah one
they say that he was actually
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:20
			killed also by poison, when he
eventually died, said that there
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:25
			was a poison that had influenced
him. Omar Farooq Rhodiola one
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:29
			Ameerul Momineen he died by being
assassinated by being stabbed
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			in the federal prayer
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:37
			with the man or the Allah one was
definitely martyred in his home
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41
			while performing while praying
while reading the Quran.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:47
			Ali Radi Allahu anhu, he had four
years of extreme difficulty I
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:51
			Subhan, Allah Subhana Allah all
the others had some glorious green
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			within that time, but guardians
was helped to stabilize the
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:59
			situation. Earlier, the unknown
inherited a turbulent situation,
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:04
			and it just became more turbulent.
And finally, he was also killed.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			Eventually, his son has an
Hussein, they both died, Hussein
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			was killed as well.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:14
			Today, we would have said he was
gunned down, like literally, you
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			know, the way he was, he was
martyred.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:22
			They played about with his head in
SHRM. So he wasn't even dignified
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:26
			after his death in that sense.
Until finally he is killed in Sham
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:27
			in Syria.
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:35
			And then eventually, his head is
buried in Egypt, in Cairo.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			That whole area is called Hussein
now because it's a big Masjid
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			there, that's where he's buried.
Now, that's where his head is at
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:46
			least. Then if you look at a
number of other stories, which you
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:50
			don't have time for inshallah and
next one, some of those who are
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			known to be only Allah like
Junaid, Al Baghdadi and number of
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:57
			others and what happened with them
inshallah will recount some of
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:01
			those stories in the next session.
But it wasn't easy. It wasn't it
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:05
			wasn't easy for everyone. It was
difficult Mr. Mohammed even know
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:08
			humbled. Imam Malik. Number of
them, it wasn't easy for them.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:12
			Imam Abu Hanifa Rahim Allah
finally passed away in, in the
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			jail in prison.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			So there's numerous stories like
that.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:23
			That was the only thing if there
was no hereafter this would be so
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:27
			miserable. If there was nothing to
look for that for all of this,
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:32
			we're gonna get a reward for hat
Showkat and you Shakra
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36
			even a thorn you're going to be
rewarded for taking the pain of
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:39
			that that's Islam, even a thorn.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:45
			You just going and you get a
little you know, scrape. That's a
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:48
			thorn of today, right? A scrape
from a wall. Right? Because you
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:52
			don't go in plants as much today.
Even that you get rewarded for it
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:55
			in that Allah when Allah Allah,
Allah quoting you get reward for
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:55
			that.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:59
			Now imagine if we didn't have that
philosophy, that belief and there
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:03
			was no hereafter imagine how many
miserable people there will be in
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			the world. There's a lot of
miserable people in the world. But
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			at least the Muslims among them
Subhan Allah, you know, the, those
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:13
			in Palestine, those in other poor
people, poor places like Rohingya
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:17
			and that you see the faith, like
the difficulty that they're going
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20
			through and they still stand up
proud, because they really realize
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:20
			this.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25
			Right? Do we want it that we get
difficulty then we realize it.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:30
			So then our life may become
difficult before it becomes
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:30
			better.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:35
			So imagine anybody who doesn't
have that belief system, they're
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			going to be extremely miserable.
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			That's why believers are supposed
to be
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:46
			those people who have better
lives. Because we know that this
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:50
			is the temporary life and there's
a life to come which is supposed
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51
			to be the main life
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			just
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:59
			you know you you're visiting
somewhere you have to be somewhere
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			for a business trip and you just
don't enjoy it. You know, when you
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			know that you're going to
eventually go back to your home it
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:07
			just makes it easier but if you
have to stay there forever Subhan
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:07
			Allah
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:12
			Allah make it easy for us. Allah
make it easy for us and grant us
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:16
			the understanding that will help
us to make this even further. Easy
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
