Hamdu lillahi Hamden cathedra on the uban Mobarak and fee Mobarak
anally
Cana your Hebrew Rob buena Huerta jelajah, who
was Salatu was Salam ala say you didn't have evil Mustafa
SallAllahu Taala are they who are an LI or Safi or Baraka was seldom
at the Sleeman Kathira on Isla Yomi Dean Amar Bharath inshallah
today's is a very profound aphorism. But to understand it
better, we'll just have to remind ourselves of the previous one,
where if not, I thought, Allah says Robomow, Taka Femina world
Burma Menaka for our buck. Sometimes Allah gives while
depriving you and sometimes he deprives you in giving. So the
idea of that was that Allah subhanaw taala sometimes gives us
something, but because of that, he deprives us of something even more
important. And sometimes we don't receive something, and we feel bad
about it. But actually, in that there's actually betterment in
that for us.
So
once we've understood that, then what he says next is
for the aphorism for today, he says, matter, Fattah halacha
burble, for me, Phil many other men who are final authority,
which is men Fattah halacha burble, for me, Phil Monterey, the
men who are final authority.
Really interesting statement, he says when he opens up your
understanding of deprivation,
the deprivation becomes the same as the gift bit of a riddle. But
what it means is that when Allah subhanaw taala opens up our
understanding, and when we come to understand that when Allah is
depriving us of something, or we feel like we're being deprived of
something that we've been trying to acquire, we're making, we've
made a huge effort to get we've worked nights and days, we took
exams, we tried to dress our best, we tried to woo to the best of our
ability, and all the rest of it, and then we were deprived. It did
not come he did not come she did not come wherever it is, the
deprivation becomes the same as the gift, what you were hoping
would be a gift. The deprivation is the gift. But that can only
come about once we've understood the way Allah subhanaw taala works
in his system. So that's why it's very important to understand the
previous aphorism. And that will be online for you to listen to, if
you haven't listened to it already soon. Inshallah. That was, that
was aphorism number 83. We're doing number 84. When he opens up
the understanding of the deprivation, the deprivation
becomes the same, same as the gift. So what's going on here is
that
once you've understood, once human beings understand slaves of Allah,
understand only a believer will understand this, you have to have
some kind of belief in Allah, if you don't believe in, where we're
going where we are. And what's the purpose of this whole thing, then
this makes no sense. Like it makes no sense. But what's really, yeah,
what's really interesting is that this is for a believer that once
you've understood that Allah has mercy, He is the Merciful One. And
Allah is compassionate, Allah is benevolent, Allah is generous.
Allah subhanaw taala is not stingy. Allah wants to give, give,
and he does give, when it's appropriate to give, once you've
understood all of this thing, that means we've understood who he is,
and we've understood some of his characteristics. Remember, you can
never understand Allah without understanding his names and his
characteristics. This is why many, many people are deprived, even
those who worship so much they don't really understand Allah.
That's why when something strange happens or abnormal happens, they
freak out. Because they just don't have the variance of the various
ways that Allah subhanaw taala can deal with people. So they've been
dealt with in a certain way. So they feel that this is now
different to that, that means Allah mas hate me now, or
something of that nature. So that's why it's very important. I
think the secret knowing Allah subhanaw taala is the beautiful
names. That is the secret of knowing who Allah subhanaw taala
is. So once you've understood all of this, then you will know that
whenever you ask Him for anything,
whenever you decide to do something, whenever you
contemplate doing something whenever you need something, and
then he stops you, he prevents you He doesn't give it to you. You
really want this thing Hey, I want this I want to go here I want this
I will acquire this, but he prevents you then you will
immediately understand okay, this must be some mercy in this. This
is Allah's gifting me even though he's proven he's not providing me
this philosophy you can't live without. Once you understand this
idea about Allah subhanaw taala I think life becomes so much
So much easier, right? You just start the work is based on this
consignment of our affairs is based on this, and happiness comes
from this
Subhanallah then you will understand that Allah is not
preventing it from me due to any kind of miserliness, or because
he's unable to write, but he doesn't have the ability to, or
because he's really ignorant and unaware of how good this thing is
for me, you know, this would have been so good. So many people have
told me you need to get this. That's the car you need, or get
this job or move into this place.
Or do this. So Allah subhanaw taala is neither ignorant He's
neither impotent and unable, neither is he stingy. And neither
is he heedless and unaware. He knows exactly what he's doing.
It's not that he's so concerned about so many other people are so
busy with other people that he doesn't have time for, you know,
he has time for every single individual, individually.
So then, why does Allah subhanaw taala prevent it from us? Because
that's his, that his his understanding, that is the way he
knows it should be. And it's better for you, this is actually
the completing of His bounties upon you.
Because Allah subhanaw taala, it has the greatest insights, he has
the greatest awareness.
And he knows what the best
solution, conclusion and ending is going to be. And here we have the
verse of Surah Al Baqarah, which is verse 216. Where as
Takara who che, who are how you like, wise
to Hey, boo, she, who shall rule a comb, Wallah who here learn more
to the moon.
Perhaps you dislike something, whereas it is
better for you. And sometimes you love something, but it's actually
worse for you. And Allah subhanaw taala knows, Allah subhanho wa
Taala knows and you do not know, you just know that immediate. So
sometimes we're considering a matter, right? If we open this up
a bit more, sometimes you're considering a matter and we think
this is the best matter for us. This has the greatest
source of welfare. This is the most profitable item for me.
But then it actually then turns out to be against us. I mean,
we've got experiences of this in our life that we've done something
and it actually just was wrong. We took the wrong path, we disobeyed
Waze,
right the app, and then we got punished because we got stuck in
traffic.
Somebody told us to do something, we did it. But then it was wrong.
He was missing for me information. You bought a product and actually
it didn't turn out very well. But you thought that was the best
product. Right? There's a restaurant you went to to eat and
you thought, Man, this is it. But it actually turned out to be quite
sad, and disappointing. So in fact, you also we also know in our
life that sometimes is a difficulty that happens. But at
the end of that difficulty comes out some goodness, we were hating
it in the beginning. But then after that, mashallah, this was
well worth it.
This was well worth it. Should we go to
Jebel Rama on the Day of Arafah.
And then you start going out and the heat, the dry heat is just
upon you. And you're like, Man, I shouldn't have left my camp, the
cold water, the AC and everything. But then when you get to the Jebel
Rama and then you enjoy.
Likewise, Hajj itself is difficult. And there's a lot of
people starting man, where am I, when you get to the tents of Mina,
but by the end of it, you wish you'd done it so many times. So
there's so many cases like this, where you find numerous benefits,
through difficulties. That's the nature of the world. And then
there's also other cases, where you find many difficulties where
you thought something was going to be beneficial for you. You
actually need your there's so many people who got married to someone
superficially, thinking that one particular characteristic they had
was the most amazing characteristic that they were
going for. They're blinded by everything else and got married
and then spent the next 510 years in misery. They can't stay in and
they can't get out. Subhan Allah, sometimes they can't get out and
they can't even stay in. Allah prevent us, Allah protect us. So
many times, benefits and gifts are hidden within difficulties within
challenges within calamities so much, so many times that has
happened. And sometimes there are so many challenges that are hidden
within what is perceived to be a benefit or a gift or something
that you really enjoy. Sometimes, we have benefited at the hands of
our own enemies. They were doing something out of aggression, but
it turned out good for us.
Sometimes, we've also been harmed by
Our best people, by our own family members by our most beloved,
sometimes out of their foolishness, sometimes out of
something else, they say that half of the misery of the world can be
avoided, if you just don't put your hope in the wrong people.
And the other half can be avoided, if you don't have doubt and
suspicion about good people.
That's where most problems come from. But I think you know, I
think for most people, or many people, you do have to have some
of this to be able to learn the wisdom of getting it right. When a
person has understood both of these things, and they avoid being
suspicious of the right people, and they avoid trusting the wrong
people. Then they've got wisdom. May Allah subhanaw taala, grant us
wisdom. So anyway, then he says,
yes, we've been hurt many times at the hands of our own beloved ones.
And sometimes a lot of goodness and happiness enjoys come from
where we thought there was going to be harm. And sometimes a lot of
harm comes from where we thought was going to be a very joyous
occasion. That's why a few examples now right? I will pass on
a show that he Rahimullah Radi Allahu on he says in his his This
is a dua of his. It says hola Houma in Argentina, I mean,
definitely Dorian and fusina mean Hi Hola. Bhima natum for K for la
noche Is 130 coming Hey through learn that lm v merlon anam.
O Allah, we are we are unable we are incapable of repelling any
harm from ourselves from where we don't expect it to come. Where we
don't expect harm to come. We don't have the ability to repel
that harm with what we already know. So using what we already
know, the knowledge, the experience, what we have, we
cannot even repel. Using that the harm from places that we don't
expect it. So then how are we going to then we are then
definitely incapable of doing the of repelling harm that we don't
know, with what we don't know, either. Right? Because if we can't
do it with what we know the bit of awareness we have, then how are we
going to use what we don't know because we don't know it. It's
quite a complicated to ah, but very profound. That's why the most
important thing is ask Allah subhanaw taala for understanding,
oh, Allah, just let me understand affairs. Let me see what the good
is in and what the bad isn't. Let me not be deceived by the outer
form. Let me not be deceived by misunderstanding, misconception
mis attribution, misrepresentation, let me not be
confused by that. The people with the greatest clarity that
generally succeed are those people who have clarity, who don't
generally get bowled off their feet, by something that seems like
something else. Allah has given them insight, they have a lot of
experience, either worldly experience or divine insight, or
both. If Allah can open that up for us, then in sha Allah, the
first marriage proposal that you make will be the right one. The
first person you get married to in sha Allah will be the right one.
The first business that you do in sha Allah, it should be the right
one.
You may still have some setbacks in some cases.
But it works. Life helps in that sense, Allah, this Tofik is really
important. So whenever Allah subhanaw taala, or people of iman,
remember, this is only for people of iman who have consciousness,
you have to have that belief, when Allah subhanaw taala will open up
the door of comprehension for you regarding why he prevents certain
things from you, then you will know the good and bad and things
and you will be able to perceive that insha Allah and you will have
better insight. And now, when he does prevent something from you,
you've tried your best but you didn't get it.
Then you will realize that that is the bounty that is God's gift that
He's prevented it from me, that is the best thing that can happen
from me.
There's so many people who used to do a certain job, and they were
very happy in their job. And then they lost that job. And they felt
extremely sad, right because they knew nothing else. They've been
doing a job for years. He was giving them a certain amount. And
it had a bit of difficulty but they were willing to undertake
that because they had not much else to go by. They didn't really
care about anything else. And then one day they lose their job.
When they lose their job. Now they've become unstable. They've
been destabilized what they knew the routine they knew for five
years, 10 years 15 years has been spoiled. They think the whole
world is caving down upon them What sin have I committed? What
wrong have I done? Why am I now so despicable in the sight of Allah,
but they make an effort. They start praying to Allah subhanho wa
Taala and then they come up with a better job. It probably pays them
more it is more convenient. It is more easy. It is better
for their heart, it is better for everything. But they would never
have done that new job.
Had they not been fired from the first job or lost that first job.
Somebody recently, they had a property that they were renting
out a commercial property. And one part of it, it started leaking.
And then they brought the people in, and the engineers whatever in
and they said, This is very dangerous, this could cave in, you
need to knock this whole thing down, and you need to rebuild it,
it's going to cost a few 1000 to rebuild, but it's just going to be
a small place. Now, somebody then gave them the idea that why don't
you take it down, you're gonna have to spend a few 1000 Anyway,
spend a bit more and extend it and make it into something that you
can rent out for more money. And within a year, you will be able to
remake the money that you spend in making this up.
So they thought, that's a good idea, I'm going to spend that much
I'll spend maybe double or triple the amount, but I should be able
to make that up and I can then rent it out. Now they're thinking
to themselves that we would never have done this, we would have kept
it the way it is and just got the small amount carried on. Now this
difficulty came upon them, they felt really, really bad. Right?
This was a challenge, because you have to put all of your energy and
do something but something insha Allah betta came out of it. It
happens like this, a lot of the time, as long as you're positive
in the way you think, how can you turn a bad thing into a good
thing? How can you turn a setback into a greater opportunity. And
you know, this is not just the spiritual aspects, the spiritual,
it just helps you to manage it, and increase your love of Allah
subhanaw taala. But it's a it's something that successful people
end up doing all the time. If you look at a lot of success stories,
they actually say that we would never have done this. Initially,
what we've embarked on doing this project, this company, whatever,
it actually came out of a lot of chaos, I lost my job. So then I
decided that and there's been lots of companies that have started up
where they used to work for somebody, they lost their jobs and
decided to do it on their own and mashallah they became bigger than
the others.
A lot of success stories are actually like that. But from a
spiritual perspective is what we get is managing the hurt, the
setback, the deprivation, and realizing that no, this, there's
something good in it. So you don't feel sad, you don't feel sad that
chaos in your mind doesn't happen. Chaos in the world happens. But in
your mind, you're quite content, you're going to have to make an
effort, but you're quite content, you don't freak out. And that's
very, very, very important.
For example, let's let's look at this, right, a simple example,
you've got a child, mashallah we have some children here, they've
seen some really good foods. Now, this insha, Allah is never going
to happen to our children, you know, not at this level, a child
sees some food they're going through and they see some food, or
some sweets, or something like that. And it's poisoned. Now, I
said, I doubt we're ever gonna come across this kind of an
example Insha Allah, but hypothetical example. There's some
pipe pies in India, it's very harmful for you. Right, but it
looks beautiful. It looks really nice. And you show children ice
cream, or you show them sweets, and they just candy and they want
to go for them. Now, the father knows what's the problem in there.
The father knows what's in there. Right?
So every time the child is trying to grab the foods, his father is
moving his hand away the child and starts to cry, why don't you let
me have that I want that. I want that. I want that. Because he
doesn't know. That's why if he had tasted it once, and he made him
sick, he'll know. But he doesn't know this time because he's not
experienced it before. And now for the child really wants it. So he's
got a tantrum, he's throwing tantrums, and the father has to
now use a bit of force to keep him away. Because he's got knowledge,
he knows this is harmful.
Now, obviously, if the child figured it out himself, and knew
that he wouldn't have even touched it, he would not have even
extended his hand. He would know why his father is he hates his
father right now, why don't you allow him to have this?
Right. But when he finds out what the problem was, then he's going
to thank his father.
Why his father and he's going to know that his father was actually
very compassionate and loving him and his his love for him, that has
stopped him from doing this.
It's just the same thing that sometimes your father would have
told you don't be friends with that person. Don't go down there.
Don't stay out after school and go around the corners and the back of
flats or were in the park or whatever, right? Because they've
been through it. They know what it is. They know what poison looks
there. They know what harm is available in those places, but you
don't know. And this happens all the time. These are just examples.
We know this so on a grand scale is the same thing between us and
Allah subhana wa Tada. I remember I said once with my daughter who
was probably about 1112 or 13 at the time, 12 No, maybe she was
about eight
15 1516 At the time, and she's telling her younger brother off,
right? And I could tell the frustration in her voice and her
attitude, why don't you understand you don't do this, you don't do it
like this is like this. Right? And I could tell the frustration. So I
told her, I said, you know, when I was telling you the other day,
about something, and you just weren't getting an I was getting
praise the same thing, you know, now better. That's why you're
telling your younger brother who's 910 years old, five, six years
younger than your seven years younger than you, whatever it is,
right? And you're getting frustrated, he doesn't know. But
you know, more. That's why you know why he shouldn't be doing it.
It's the same kind of attitude.
So hopefully, that was of some benefit. You know, hopefully that
was of some benefit. But these are simple examples like this. There's
another example. Let's just say that a person he
I don't know they say they do this in some restaurants when they
don't like you or some hotel some some takeaways they do this when
they don't like you, he he makes some food some really looks really
nice, looks really nice. But he's put his spit in there and, and was
a gross a bit of a gross example, he puts his spit in there and his
nose, would you call it mucus and, and other dirty just doesn't wash
the knives or the spoons or whatever. And then he brings it to
you looking in a really nice way. I mean, you probably won't even
know unless he tells you afterwards. But he's just maybe he
doesn't like you because you didn't, you said something bad to
them. Right? Or whatever. So and when he that's why I don't ever
mess around with the waiter. Some people really mess around with
waiters, I'm quite scared to be honest. You know what they're
going to put in your food. Right? Hopefully, that doesn't happen.
But I'm sure it can happen.
So anybody who's seen him do that, another waiter, another cook, or
whatever, he will obviously know that.
But anybody who has not seen that it looks like wonderful food. It's
their sizzling on the coals, or, you know, in the plate or whatever
they give it to you. Now, if you knew what was in there, you
wouldn't touch it. You'd be absolutely disgusted, even though
it looks so good, and you're very hungry, and you've been waiting
for 45 minutes for your meal. Right? You wouldn't want it. In
fact, you're so hungry, the guy's bought the food. You had a bit of
altercation with him before he's bought the food, or somebody else
comes. And he tells you and aside, like, be careful about the food.
Your hunger, and everything is so much like man, what are you
talking about? Look at the food, it looks so nice, you probably
won't even you will be suspicious about them. You wouldn't even want
to listen to them. Why? Because you don't know. You can't
comprehend it. You just don't understand what's happening.
Likewise, ourselves, the human being the slaves of Allah, we go
off the things of this world, we want to grab them, we want to
consume them, whether that be positions, whether that be
objects, whether that be good, or anything else in, which is
actually harm for us. It's lurking inside, we don't realize, and
Allah subhanaw Does it look, you can't have it, just trust me on
it. You can't have it out of mercy for you out of compassion for you,
out of concern for you.
So if a person can start understanding this, that there
must be something in here why I'm not getting it. There must be some
here,
you will believe me have a lot more time to look for something
better. The calls we get sometimes people because they couldn't get
married to somebody now they are trying to literally micro analyze
why it went wrong. And beating themselves up about it. Analysis
is good so that we don't make the same kind of mistakes in the
future. But to be then wrecked by that is an absolute foolishness.
It's gone, it's finished. Let's move on.
So a person needs to understand from Allah. And when he does that,
then he will just resign his affairs to Allah subhanaw taala
and Allah subhanho wa Taala he will never essentially be
suspicious of Allah, He will never be doubtful about Allah subhanaw
taala about his decisions. And if he doesn't understand this from
Allah subhanho wa Taala then he's just concerned grief, worry,
anxiety, depression, and so on and so forth. In fact, sometimes a
person will even get angry. Person gets angry sometimes why didn't I
get this I tried my best man. Allah is probably not on my side.
Or maybe Allah doesn't exist or he's passive. He's worried about
somebody else. But then later on when he actually comes out to be
better for you.
Then you realize the goodness and then a person makes Stober.
But then it's too late. A lot of the time, this is what happens.
You freak out in the beginning, you try everything and then you
can't do anything about it doesn't budge.
Right? Then nothing happens. Let's just say that.
You got an Amazon account, and something went wrong and they shut
down your account and you're emailing them and you're messaging
them and nothing happens. You're really angry and freaked out.
Eventually when nothing happens, and you can't do anything and no
other avenues are available to you. Then you'd like
Okay, I'll just leave it to Allah now. That's fine, you can still
leave it to Allah. But you know what you've missed. What we've
missed them is the position of summer, we've lost all the reward
for summer. This is no longer summer anymore. This is
helplessness you can't do anything to that. Okay? That's am I going
to do summer was in the sun in the submittal ruler in the sub row in
the submittal ruler, patience is right at the beginning in the
first stage, that can't happen unless we train ourselves for it.
And we can't train ourselves. We don't understand Allah and the way
he works. That's why we're discussing this, this will give
you more support. So the next time you happen to be like, it might
take or you might freak out in the beginning, and then you will
realize quicker than then sooner than later. That No, no, no, let
me take it easy. It's not worth it. Me take it easy. It's not
worth it. Nothing's going to change if I free cards.
So you miss the reward of the patients if you don't do it right
from the beginning. There's a story he said about this guy who
used to live in
the olden days, in earlier days, maybe even someplace in the world,
you could still have this right? Is he used to live in the
outskirts of the city. There wasn't any light at nighttime, you
had to have your own lamps and things. And he was of the RF when
he was a person mashallah had the awareness of Allah he was a
righteous, very righteous person. And what happened on this single
day is that three of his assets all disappeared. So his donkey
that he used to do work on that date, his dog died. Now where did
he have a dog for guiding purposes? Not as a pet, but for
guiding purposes because out there, dogs useful in the sense
that they your alarm system. Okay, so the dog died.
And also his
cockerel died as well that used to wake him up for failure, right
that they have in their homes.
So his family comes to him. And sort of the first it's the, it's
the donkey that died. So his family came is our our donkey has
died. He said, very good.
I mean, it's very difficult to say that at first, you're probably
freak out. And then you think, Oh, you must be some good in it. But
no, he's right from the beginning. hamdulillah is fine. Right from
the beginning. It's fine. That's what he said. May Allah allow us
to be so quick in this as well. Immediate. Then after that, they
kind of said, well, your the dogs died as well. Now. He said, That's
good as well. Hamdulillah. That's good. Then they came short while
later and now the cockroach died. So that's also good. And now is
the people around him, they're getting quite angry, like, what's
wrong with you? Always is good. Three of our assets have died. And
you're saying it's all good? Are you hiding fee hada? What kind of
goodness is in there?
So he got very angry.
And he's like, all of our assets are gone. And we're still looking
at this, we're still thinking that there's nothing wrong with this.
Now what happened is, those are the times when people came in,
robbed the village and so on. So at nighttime, there was this
attack on the village. And essentially, every single house
there was robbed. And all the assets were taken, all the better
assets were taken.
And this person's house was not robbed. Why wasn't it robbed? It
was dark, the only way they can tell where somebody is living,
where there's a inhabitation where there's a house is by the sound of
the donkey's brain, and the
and the sound of the cockerel, and also the sound of
the dog because he had none of these animals. He was the only one
who was saved from everything else. So they decided they figured
out the next day, that that was the benefit and that's what now
did it die for that reason? Yes, from Allah's perspective, right.
But his response just made it better for them.
The way he reacted, just made it better for them. This is the way
only function in this world they have difficulties as well his
animals died, they have they have issues, but they just deal with it
better than the rest of us. So may Allah subhanho wa Taala make us of
his friends, because they just have a better they have a better
recognition of who Allah subhanaw taala is.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a good amount of this. That's
why the famous ascetic and famous Sufi Shibli he said, a Sofia at
forlorn V Hagey. Real happy to Allah. The Sufis, once you
consider that you want to be on the path and want to be a
spiritual person. You are then you then become like a child in the
lap of Allah. Allah doesn't have a lap but it's like you become a
child in the lap of Allah that he What do you do with children your
lap you look after that.
But first we need to give ourselves up to Allah to be like a
child. And when worse
Stem children to be honest, meaning we are more helpless than
children. And we need Allah subhanaw taala more than a child
leaves their father and mother.
So that's what we need to give up. That's what you call submission.
And he says what he says is really correct. And they should just be
calm in whatever they
with the mind of an adult to understand that whatever our
parents tell us is the right thing. Right? Children don't think
that but but adults do. So we're like children, but with the mind
of adults. Right? Whatever happens, Allah subhanaw taala
knows best. Because Allah subhanaw taala is going to look after them,
he's going to protect them, he's going to preserve them, he's going
to plan for them for the future and things that we will not know.
And he will give us that which is to our best benefit and our
welfare. And they should not give themselves up to anybody but Allah
subhanaw taala it's not easy, but inshallah with all of this that
we've been discussing, it gives us some understanding, the next time
a difficulty arises, we hope to be more in control earlier, the and
sooner than later, and inshallah one day we will always be in
control. So nothing will upset us in the way that it upsets us now,
and we'll deal with it Insha Allah, this is what now Sheikh
Abdullah can go he concludes with in the explanation of this
aphorism, he says, perfect intelligence and true
comprehension are only bestowed on the ID theme on those who have a
relationship with Allah and become aware of Allah subhanho wa taala.
Others are deprived, deprived of this treasure. This treasure
constitutes the fortune of this world in the next. It's the way of
this life.
The Sheikh comments he says, Oh traveler, if Allah Most High has
withheld a worldly or religious favor from you, your heart should
be devoid of regret.
Your heart should be devoid of regret. In such a state, you will
have intelligently understood that your state of deprivation is the
very product of the Divine Wisdom and the mercy. Therefore you must
remain as pleased with Allah, as you would have been, if the favor
had been best, if the favor had been bestowed upon you, then your
deprivation is in fact, Allah's gift to you. This deprivation is
the gift of Allah to you. And it would be incorrect to think of it
as a deprivation, this intelligence and state of
contentment are far superior to the matter that was withheld from
you.
This is a high commodity to be able to understand it this way.
It's a very high commodity. It's a huge blessing. May Allah subhanho
wa Taala grant His blessing whilst he read that Werner hamdu Lillahi
