there's a slide in the Quran, each of this was in the Quran have a
particular benefit or a virtue that's associated with it as
explained to us by a supervisor, or some
sort of a kind of as a very significant connection with
Fridays. And Friday is the end of the days of the week. And in one
heavy about the sort of cafe in general, the police have a lot of
ideas, somebody said that if you resign on the Friday, it will
illuminate the next week for you. So if you want Baraka in your
lives, you will recite Surah to the curve and inshallah your next
week will be illuminated me in the next seven days of your life will
be illuminated. We all need illumination, whether we're
studying or whatever we're doing. The benefit of illumination in our
life is our guided to do things in the right way.
With Allah subhanaw taala provides us with Allah some kind of a
thought law, the law of summer well, he would just like to have
this artificial light here because the natural light cannot come in.
This is also part of the light of Allah subhanaw taala the light of
Allah subhanaw taala aside from the physical light that gives us
the ability to see things and to identify and distinguish between
things. The other spiritual light is the light of the heart that
Allah subhanaw taala gives us the greatest of those lights is the
light of Eman and then the second type of light above that is the
light which is the trophy to do good deeds, the highest form of
light is given to the MDR where they are absolutely protected and
completely covered with the light of Allah subhanaw taala that's why
there's a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu sic which says Allah
from the child and Yemeni numeral one Shabbat even more learning
more on on the country more on more info be more on that oh Allah
put light on my right on my left in front of me behind the above me
and then it says put light into my eyes would light into my heart we
may go to Allah Subhana Allah illuminate our souls as well.
Number one, so now so to recap is supposed to illuminate the next
seven days for you. If you read that in Sharma, if your students
you will get bollock in your studies, you're gonna have to work
for it. You can't just recite circle cap and then think that
it's all gonna come in. That is not beyond Allah subhanaw taala.
But you have to be on some level of we live for that to happen to
you. Right? So you do have to try hard. But that effort that you put
in if Allah subhanaw taala is helping and supporting you, then
you can put the same effort in, but you will get much more out of
it. I'll give you an example.
A person felt that he had no barakah in line. The day was just
going fast. I don't know if any of you have noticed this. If you've
been back to other countries, especially third world countries,
have you noticed that the day goes slower than it goes in England?
Right.
I lived in America for eight years. The thing went faster than
anyone in England.
Right? And the day goes faster here and then it goes in my
experience in Syria in India and you know many other places. I
don't know why. Yeah, right. That's up to Allah subhanho wa
taala. Anyway, this one particular student
told one of his teachers that this is my issue. I don't see any
bollock in life. That you sit down and do something bigger Allah
subhanaw taala says I do on and off I don't really sit down and do
it properly.
Get some time to the vicar of Allah subhanaw taala you said
something Quran to just sit down to do something. Remember
what he noticed is that when he started dedicating time to that
he's a he's a workaholic and he's a workaholic. I mean, do we have
workaholics do
so
he was a workaholic, you will play sports because he thought I'm
gonna study studying the team.
Right?
He was studying the team. So he was using a lot of his time behind
that and he felt that any other time should be used with just
studying. You know?
When he started making thicker for about half an hour a day just
sitting down dedicated for thicker.
It's very difficult for us to do that. Because they don't think
that producing anything at that time. Right
He said after that he felt the power coming into his life, that
you would put less efforts. And he'd been able to, he'd be able to
achieve a lot more. The reason is the time is in the hands of Allah
subhanaw taala. You give him some time, and he will open up your
time, you will eliminate your time and you will have a lot more
Baraka in what you do.
Right, you will be able to achieve a lot more in the time that you
have. That's what you call Baraka in the prophets of Allah and says,
Muslim.
I shot out in a word salt and pepper.
There's another one that says when our committee shorted
the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that whoever recites the first 10
In another version, the last 10 is of solitude. They will be
protected from the trials and fitna of the job.
Just to give you an understanding of what I was speaking about,
if I asked you today the brothers, what is your greatest tip now?
The Prophet sallahu wa sallam told us that
the greatest ripoff of men is women. Right? And sisters, what is
your greatest?
Don't say men because there's
beauty. Right? Unless you're hanging your head? No, no, if you
hung up with us.
Right? When there was another speaks about volunteers in the
Quran. For women, he speaks about clothing, he speaks about purity,
he speaks about beauty. Right? That is what people want.
There are women who will be led to
fears of suicide because they think they don't look as good as
somebody else does. Right? And you will be different fitness whatever
your major fitness be, doesn't matter. You know what a fitness or
fitness is something you find so difficult to abstain from. That's
a fitness, whatever that may be is eating too much.
Or one of the things.
The main thing is this, the Prophet sallallahu earlier,
somebody said that the absolute worst of all fitness that you are
waiting for? Is that the job
if the men think that women are a fitness, or watching how things is
a fitment or eating, obesity, gluttony is a fitna or clothing or
whatever the case is, or anybody, that child is supposed to be a
worse fit, man and that.
Essentially, if we can't avoid the temptations of the word and before
into something or the other, how are we going to protect ourselves
from the shape from the job?
The antichrist, if he's supposed to be a greater fitna, more
intense than any other way of experience
is the worst of the evils that you are waiting for. Shambu Ha, even
Utada last week mentioned, may Allah protect us from him. That's
why when the prophets of Allah told us use like certain kind of
just in verses from the beginning, or the end, you will be protected
from the day job. And that's the minimum that we should do. So pick
up a Quran from next week, at least on Fridays and recite at
least the first time or the last investor. So eventually, in a few
weeks, you will memorize them. You can read them while you're
traveling to school, whatever the case is, but let us keep that as a
habit. Right? Because that will protect us because otherwise, if
we left to our own self, it will be very difficult. May Allah
protect us now coming to sort of kind of what is the significance
of reciting from Surah to kind of
illuminate the seven days for us? What is the significance? Why not
another Surah Surah. Yaseen is very famous, very significant,
very virtuous, but it said about certain things.
Right, so what is the secret of skeleton calf?
So the calf is in the middle of the Quran. In fact, according to
some opinions, the absolute
middle word of the Quran one year turned off, is part of a verse in
Surah, two capsulate bearing in the middle
as three or four main stories,
and today in the world that we're living, maybe a bit more than
other times,
has very significant variance on our time image.
Allah subhanaw taala starts off the surah with speaking praise for
himself, but hamdulillah underlined activity done. We're
not going to go through the whole song, we don't have the time to do
it. It's a very long time.
But the first story
that is mentioned is the story by which the story is given same sort
of target
The people of the cave, I'm sure the majority of us would have
heard the story of the people of the cave.
Probably very simply a group of about seven, young, six to seven
young youth. Right? So we can shall relate to that your youth
until you're 33, according to mo Josie, right, so I guess I'm
beyond that. But
if you're still, you can relate to that youth is a time of great
turbulence. It's a very long time. Shabaab, the whole word means that
it's sharper to Milan Junoon. As mentioned in the narration, it's a
degree of insanity.
Right? And the reason is that you've just suddenly got all of
these abilities that you found that you you have honed, and you
have, so now you become more independent minded, then you come
to, I guess you don't stay the study of humans.
Right? Then you start studying and you think you know, more than your
parents, especially if your parents are from another country,
and they speak in an accident, and they don't speak English. So you
suddenly start thinking, you know, you're better than them, even
though they have lived in this world, what 20 years or 30 years
more than you have, right more than we have. So the Shabaab time
is a very important time. That's why Hadith that was related, that
was mentioned a bit earlier about loving your brother, the same
Hadith, one of the seven shades is that you've spent is
not old age, you within the worship of Allah, Allah subhanaw
taala. Because it's such a difficult time, that's when
attractions towards other things are so many because there's a
fresh,
right, so vibrant, and you're exploring, it's a time of
exploration. You want to try all of these things build up
protector, this age for all of us and our children. So now, these
youth six year old plus a shepherd that found them on the way or
seven individuals that were seven individuals. It was a time it was
it said this is all based around Ephesus, right in Arabic of suits,
emphasis is in the south of Turkey. Right? It has Roman
remnants today, it's a historical city in the south of Turkey. So it
says that this is all basically it was under the Romans, but this
time it was under the pagan Romans. So there was a governor
there called Theseus. According to some durations, it was Theseus.
He was persecuting anybody that believed in Christianity. Well,
instead of Christians who believed in SRA, salaam, so the religion of
Islam was much younger. At that time, there were people who had
embraced, but in general, the governance was still under the
pagans.
Who did not believe in Christianity. So
there was an inquisition in that area, to find anybody that did not
subscribe to the paganism.
Eventually, these these young, these youth who are from
the wealthy families of that area, middle class, wealthy families of
the area, when they discovered that there's no escape here,
they're going to force you to change your religion or they're
going to persecute you or kill you. They made a mashallah between
them. They consulted between them, and they decided to leave.
Now, think about this, that in the face of your challenge
in the face of all challenges, right, this was the new challenge.
In the face of that challenge, they were trying to stay steadfast
on their faith, they decided that we can't stay here and change. So
we're going to leave, there was a cave that one of them used to know
about. So they got to that cave, and they decided that they will
stay there and hide and they'll do something about it. So that's
where they went. So Allah subhanaw taala sees
us however, Kathy, we're not even gonna win at Nashoba Do you think
and this story was famous, by the way people knew about this happen
many years before sort of wasn't allowed is that they just
disappeared in this cave and people couldn't find them
initially.
So this story was quite well known what aspects of the story was
known because it was such a major thing that took place. So Allah
subhanaw taala says that do you think that the people of the cave
that they that they are from our extraordinary science, our IG
science,
it will fit into either category for calling
Robin attina will be doing Karina
Rashida, this is what we wanted to take. How many of us in times of
difficulty turn to Allah subhanho wa taala. Oh Allah remove us from
this difficulty. As a matter of
As a matter of routine to do this, this is what they're doing. They
weren't when when these people took refuge in the cave, they
said, Oh our Lord, give us mercy send us mercy from you. Let us use
these words, Allah be merciful on us,
save us from disappointment is one thing, but showing your mercy upon
us.
Why only now Russia and make a means of guidance in this actual
house. Look at how powerful they all must have been that Allah
subhanho wa Taala says,
learning Phil Caffee, Sydney and either we
put up them over the years, for numerous years, this is very
interesting. They were not put to death, they were still quite
alive. But Allah subhanaw taala made the circumstances such that
the opening of the was in such a way that the sun, when it was
rising, would go towards its side, one side, when it was setting, it
was set towards another side. So the sunlight would not penetrate
inside. Right, number one. Number two, we want to evade over the
years essentially what that is saying is that we covered the ears
now from sight and vision perspective, they had no problem
because there wasn't much of a light pollution in that area.
Right. So they were not going to be woken up by light. And people
are less open up by light than they are by sound. That's why we
have alarm clocks. So Allah subhanaw taala says, we put a veil
over their ears. And once that veil on their ears, there was no
physical veil over their ears. But I would say you know, you've got
these new head headphones on that, you know,
that are supposed to be even if you're in a play that cuts up on
sound gives you just what they call white sound, right? Where it
just totally blocks off all kinds of sounds to you in a neutral
sound zone. Right.
In order to protect them from being woken up by any sound that
may come from anywhere.
They were probably put into some kind of white sound zone so they
couldn't hear anything.
Because they have to sleep for a very long time. Now the other
thing is that if they were to stay in one position, then that's not a
good idea for such a long time. Because eventually things get worn
out. We're not currently moving verted immunity whether the
shimmer Allah subhanaw taala says we kept turning them around in
this
they were preserved in every single way in the sense that Allah
subhanaw taala just made all of the facilities available for them
for this miracle that was to take place. How many years did they
sneak for they said for as Allah subhanaw taala says they stood for
309 years approximately 309 years they slept for
and when they got up, they were not covered in dust.
Right That proves that Allah subhanaw taala looked after them
during this time there was no cleaner coming inside and you know
brushing everything off Allah subhanaw taala just needed a dust
free zone right in every way shape or form I mean that would that was
just all protected when they grew up. When they woke up, they
suddenly started to look at each other and they said what can Allah
subhanaw Does what can they take a bath now whom Lea does nobody
know?
We now brought it back to life so that they could ask among they
could mutually ask each other basically they could start talking
and interacting on a car in the middle term that is one of them
said How long have you been asleep for you know when you when you go
out on a trip when you go out on a cabin you've set for a few hours
and you have had a good sleep which I don't know if you're
having in this camp here.
But they they had a good restful sleep so we're probably asking
each other we slept for how long do we serve? I think it's just
kind of evening time that slept and then it was morning time it
was the other way around. Have you said half a day was not like how
many years have we slept for it's just like five hours a whole day
or half a day
or a Yeoman Olga we've either set for a whole day or some parts of
the day that was what their understanding was
called on Roku.
But then the other is always taken it back to Allah Allah knows best
how long have you slept for? Right? Look at the top of that
everything is such a mundane topic how long you slept for Allah knows
best how much you slept for. Right? You either missed them
forever I thought I had that can be when you people heard Elon
Medina Tifa younger a US girl or element. But you have to convince
women while you're top of whether you should run in the wake of
either. So one of them there's names as mentioned but they're not
in any sign Khalifa body cam de Lena Magoosh and so on Maximilian,
these are all wrong names Allah Allah what they exactly as well.
So
One of them said, go go send somebody with this money, and they
will go to the town ID surreptitiously and find something
nice cure to buy for us. The meat was haram,
because people were slaughtering on the idols. So it's saying,
Allah subhanaw taala here says as Galco element, the most purified
food bring for us the most purify food. So be careful look around,
because they may be sacrificing for the, for the idols. And that
will be hard for us. When you have a lot of be very considered when
you go because you don't want people to for what I shared on
that because I had the you don't want people to find out about us.
So he goes out.
Suddenly, he notices that there is a cross
on the main gate of the city as he enters. And that immediately
surprises him what's going on. But he thinks, maybe I'm just oriented
wherever he goes into the market. And he looks at me different.
People always the same, right? But so he tries to buy something. And
if the coin, which had PCs, it was the coins of DCs because he was
the ruler of the area. And the person is trying to see like when
he tried to give me
the point that he just totally shocked. So finally,
he tells the story, and people go back to the cave. And they find
them, then the Quran is silent about them. Because the story is
done now. So it's mentioned that then they will put to then they
Allah subhanaw taala put them took the life away from them
afterwards, very shortly after that, because they were not
supposed to be a walking talking miracle that whatever the purpose
of their sleep was, had been fulfilled. What happened was, in
these 300 years, the ruling party had changed. Now,
the followers of the Prophet Jesus peace be upon him with who in the
area, and it belonged to them. It was run by them. And
the ruler of the area was a very pious individual.
And he was facing a fitna he was facing a problem at that time. The
problem was that one of his close advisers, or one of the people in
his court had started to question resurrection,
about coming back to life after the after this life.
It's a bit strange people have questioned this as they do today.
It's just an ongoing thing that people are making questioning that
as well. Allah subhanaw taala says, Why do you question what
will have to come or what Amala He created you the first time around
with nothing. This is resurrection is a model for Him for allah
subhanaw taala to make you on to recreate the one. But it's just
something that when materialism is very strong, when people forget
about the hereafter. So finally,
this ruler was very perturbed, he was having sleepless nights
because
this was a major challenge to him and to their religion. Allah
subhanaw taala used these people, these youth as How will calf both
in the beginning as a miracle for the safety and they disappeared
from being persecuted or killed and brought them back 300 And some
years afterwards as a proof of resurrection. So when they came
back, and it was proven, because people had known that the seven
had disappeared, that was in the history, it was being passed down.
Now then they discovered that these are those people that got
the coins or got clothing, they they figured it out. These must be
the same people
sorted out this controversy. And people, people who had confusion
about resurrection was all it was all it was all completed. Now this
particular incident which the first story in Sorrento Calif,
speaks about pure Cooper against relief. Right, which hamdulillah
for us in sha Allah is not that big of a challenge. But what it
does tell us that although we're not it's not a question for us
becoming garfein. Our issue is of becoming towards go for coming
towards Cofer and leaving Islamic ideology and our Islamic
practices. The fact that these were youth shows that Allah
subhanaw taala helps whoever it is, as long as they've got the
zeal and they've got the Lockwood and the reliance on Allah subhanho
wa taala. Regardless of our situation, it tells us that if a
place is too difficult for us to deal with too much data that's
taking place, then you have to migrate from that place. If you
are in a school where it's just very difficult because your your
your circle of friends then you can't get away from them. Then
move to another school. I used to be in Santa Barbara, California.
The university was on the beach, and the parties used to start on
Thursday.
day every week, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it was a
party school. Right? I mean,
it was probably a good university in some aspects. But it was
considered a party school because it's right at the beach in
California, it's always sunny.
So if you have a challenge in your life, sometimes the only way to
deal with it is to move away and go somewhere else, rather than try
to fight with it. Because you may be fighting a losing battle. And
this tells us that Allah supported them when they did that. A lot of
the time, we can't move away, because we feel that everything is
in place here. I won't get a placement somewhere else. I want
some this won't happen if this won't happen. But believe me as
people who've moved around Allah subhanaw taala opens it up. There
are people who've been displaced or people who've been being forced
to go from one area to the other, Allah subhanho wa taala, enriches
them because richness, and the NA is in the hands of Allah subhanho
wa taala. And he enriches if he could put these people away from
the normal customary way of things to poor people die at the age of
70 or 80, or 100. He let them sleep for 300 years so that the
regime could change and they could come back as a proof that you
think Allah subhanho wa Taala can't do even a fraction of that
for us. May Allah subhanaw taala give us the tofi That's the first
example. The second story that was that was mentioned is something
that we can relate to probably a bit more right over this great
relevance in this topic in this particular one as well. It's the
story of the person with the two gardens. And essentially what
happened in this one was two brothers
inherited a huge amount of wealth equal equal equal wealth from
their father. A huge amounts, like six you know, 600,000 or some huge
number one of them did, he spent everything in the path of Allah.
Like absolutely everything is spent in the path of Allah
subhanaw taala the other one, he played it very wisely from a
business capitalist perspective. He took that money he invested in
Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran
right
what's your name? Give them an example of the two individuals the
two men, one of them we gave them we for one of them who have
invested his money. He had two massive fortunes. Right? Two just
gigantic watches. Genma tain gentleman is a garden. Right?
It was a garden of
grapes. What happens now who have been asking? Allah subhanaw taala.
Have you ever goes into such detail but he's trying to explain
here? What riches this person had? It's a it's a two gardens of
grapes surrounded by palm trees. Like what more do you want,
surrounded by palm trees, which are unavailable. And there were
other types of crops in between as well. So a multitude of crops,
whatever you want. Give them Jana Dini added hula, though both of
these gardens was so productive, that they would give them the
crops, they would give their fruits and their crop crops.
When I'm totally mean, who shaken off, I don't know.
So they were very productive, right in terms of the produce that
will grow from there. And then in between, we also put some rivers
so we had rivers between this as well, ultimate description of
paradise, like, like millions in Spain, try to create the agenda.
Next to the Granada, if anybody
is long garden, the waterfall and the liquor and the river running
through it.
Right now is agenda to life. It's a description of paradise and this
guy created in this world
what kind of a thought and he had lots of fruit. So what happened is
after this particular the one brother lost, everything will not
muster the other is everything on the floor. He felt he needed to
earn a living now, to sort of find our work. Let me find somebody to
work for. My brother is the best person he's got mashallah lots of
place to work, I'm sure he can take me on. So he went to his
brother, and he said, Can you give me a job? He wasn't asking for
charity. He didn't ask him to give him from his wealth. He said, Can
you let me work for you?
So his brother starts to turn to talk to him, because he must have
known what he had done. And he must have been seeing how big he
was becoming. So he says
O'Connor you saw him you all you have a root canal and what as soon
as I'm created, and I've got more wealth than you
We know that that's what he's come to you for employment, but he's
bragging about it. I've got more wealth than you and I am more
respected in terms of people I've got more respect and honestly
Well, the whole agenda, the horrible Hollywood innocent. So he
taunted him, he said, how you had all of this money, you got rid of
a Why did you do that? Look, what I've done, look what I made for
myself, and so on and so forth. So he's showing off, he went into his
garden, what nobody will enough see why he was abusing himself.
Why this arrogance, he was abusing himself. Now look at the
statements This is what relates to us is what I'm talking about.
Whereas in the first story that they were pagans that we are
speaking about, in this case, we're talking about believers,
both of these were believers, by the way, right? They were
believers, except that one was a proper believer, and the other one
was a weak believer, nearly losing his face, you can tell, you can
tell by what he says. He says, My other TV the other day, he's
looking at the camera, you know, when you've just made something
great for yourself? Are you going to ever think that this thing is
just going to be totally destroyed? Just like that, you
know, when you've used all these amenities? What are these
facilities? Right? How could it be destroyed?
So how about that there was a
tornado right now in in Texas, Arlington, Texas, and they caught
the
it taking up trucks, we're talking about the big American juggernaut
trucks as well, not the ones that we see in England, the small ones,
we're talking about the big ones, believe me, those are massive,
going up in the air, a few of them, that's quite amazing. Who
would think that that could happen when you're driving a truck up
with a kid with the road, right? Who would think that that will
ever happen? Likewise, this guy is the same thing. So this is what he
says, he says, one of them one after the other that I don't think
there's ever going to end, it's never going to disappear, this is
never going to finish? Well, I wouldn't call him and this is when
he starts rejecting the hereafter.
Not outright. And I don't think that the day of judgment is going
to occur. I don't think there's going to be a final game. This is
what happens with materialism. It draws you to a world It makes you
want to believe in it.
There are many religions today, it makes you believe in them. If
there's a new shop opening, you will go to it. Because you believe
in that product. Right? If it's a mesh that's been playing, you will
go even if you have to be software, because you believe in
that team. It doesn't matter if they've got a devil, I'm
sorry for those fans.
Just to wake you up, I don't care about this stuff.
So
he's saying I don't think the final day is to occur. And then
look at what he says. So he's not a complete unbeliever, he says,
while he would need to be educated in a higher color.
And if I was to be turned back to my Lord, if I was to be returned
back to Romania, there wasn't here, often I had to go back to my
mode, then I would find a good place. Thinking that because of
his investments in the world that these that he had, he'd be able to
use the influence there and he'd get good there as well.
That's the way it works, isn't it? They show you
a guy on the moon
and an American Express card, machine wherever you are with you.
Right? It's like kind of I mean, whether it's American Express, I
mean Subhanallah I don't know you might be I might be getting the
ideas, right? You might be Visa, MasterCard, I don't know what it
was. The point is that the materialism and the dunya makes us
focus so much on it that we forget everything else we think that this
is our security our token is then focus on that and this is exactly
what's happening is equity Volker he doesn't know what he's doing in
saying if I am to go back to my old and I'm gonna find a good
place to return to to call Allah who saw people who were who you're
Harville is his brother is companion said to him while he's
discussing a comfortability harder to come into our denying the road
that created you from the soil is reminding is very eloquent is
reminding him of his humble beginnings. Hello, Coca Cola from
we will not fall then from the crud, the muscle work Orjuela and
he's the one who made you into this land, who turned you into the
standing man like him know who Allah Who rugby. He reaffirms his

an interview. You know, you start advising the company, the guy
who's taking your interview for this new job, you start advising
him, you're not going to get a job, whatever that is. He says,

taala

that's why you will find in some countries I don't know if you've
noticed this in some countries people get these nice houses and
then they've got this Masha Allah I just always wonder about that
Masha Allah but it's actually in the Hadith about it. There's a
there's an answer about about writing that because what you're
doing is you're trying to say this is from Allah I know I've put a
lot of effort or money or ingenuity into it. A lot of you
know there's there's been a lot of
effort put into this but Masha Allah, whatever Allah wills, La
Quwata illa Allah there can be no ability except by him. If you're

time, you're always the one who's in the forefront. You know,

important because it protects from many things. It also says that
mashallah Quwata illa biLlah is a protection from the evil eye.

Xalapa when he noticed that this person wasn't taking to kindness
and good advice.
Then he said, It is very possible that my Lord will shortly give me

he will send on your garden a disease or a calamity.
A tornado whatever it may be, so that everything of it will be
destroyed
or used to be hammered well hold on funding of the polymer or the
water will totally disappear. And you will not be able to find any
water for irrigation you need water for irrigation for such.
Allah subhanaw taala has all of these sources at his disposal
what were and then that is exactly what it because the person did not
relent what or he Bobby thermo for us the how you can limit your
failure I love and photography. Where your hobby either illusia
We're cool. We are the internet.
So is Allah subhanaw taala says is garden was surrounded by this
calamity. And everything was destroyed. He doesn't Allah
subhanaw taala doesn't focus on the type of destruction. But again
in the eloquence of the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala just shows
the type of destruction from how the person was feeling about us
and how you can revoke your faith he he began to be began to move
his hands around. He began to move his hands around in despair upon
what he had, you know, upon what he had spent on it. I've wasted
all of this money in this. This is called
Have
you heard yet another OSHA? It was totally in a dilapidated state. It
was basically the roofs of underground on the floor,
everything was gone.
And then he said How I wish I did not make sure with my doors. I
wish I did not astray partners with Michael. He's a believer.
He'd lost it for a while. That's why we tell us ourselves as well,
that if we're going to be prosperous and Allah subhanaw
taala mashallah is giving a lot of prosperity traditions in this
country, right, we must be thankful for Allah subhanaw taala
we must be
remade the remembering the sisters we must be fulfilling the rights
of the wealth and
so mashallah, if you are
achieving greatly at university, or whatever you may be doing at
work, think about Allah subhanaw taala resorted to a calf, with
meaning, at least once when you recite certain can't read it with
the meaning. So you can remember these stories. So when you do
recite it every week, even if you don't understand Arabic, you can
recall the meaning. This second story, as I said, is about
believers who a believer who had lost his way, because of his
understand because of his
indulgence in the world, and beginning to feel if you notice,
he's saying, this stuff is like a guarantee for me. Because if I go
back, it's going to be good for me because I can maybe take some of
this with me. Or maybe they'll say, Oh, he's that rich guy of
that area. That's that's the way people think I've got context.
But at the end of the day, if Allah subhanaw taala, wants to
soil someone, he wants to destroy something, Allah has many ways
that you could do that. Whether that be through internal factors,
like diseases, or whether that be through external factors, Allah
knows the best way, we ask Allah for protection.
I'm going to stop here, although the other two stories,
just to mention them in brief is one about new Saturdays and
holidays.
Right, those are Islam was asked just very quick, because I was
asked who's the most knowledgeable person? He said I am, which is
completely true, because the prophets are the most
knowledgeable. But really, you should have said, Allah, Allah
Subhana. Allah then said, Look, I want you to take a trip, I want
you to go out for a learning expedition. So he made him meet up
with this person called Hadith. And epsilon is COVID CoSIDA Ali
Salam was doing these things to the strange both from a shonky
perspective. And from a worldly perspective, if he's a young boy,
twist his head off and kills him. They're taken on a boat to cross
the river. As they're getting towards the other side, he pulls
off some planks on the side and causes them to be defective.
And this is not a worthy thing to do. And it's kind of demeaning to
the both of these. Then they go to a third area, where they ask
they're hungry, they asked for some food. They don't recently
hospitality. That is how they see this was I was about to fall down.
And suddenly he starts to build it up.
Sometimes it is totally confounded. There, they took us
for free in the boat, you did you cause their boats to be different,
you pull off some lights.
Here, they don't give you any food to eat, and you're just building
this up.
What's going on,
then, eventually told him the secret of this young boy, he was
to grow up to be a very evil person, and he was going to lead
his it was going to be his parents. So it was taken to pass
right then, then then it's explained by the university that
they got many other children, Allah subhanaw taala replaced, or
Allah did not want the parents to be tested by this challenge. Allah
knows the futures. Number two, the world belongs to these orphans who
have money that their father had hidden, if it was to fall right
now, people would have found it will be exploited. Let them grow
up. It will keep them warm and solid for them when they got there
find themselves and be able to use it. Allah is not and their parents
had been the parent has been a pious person. So Allah subhanaw
taala is not protecting their children if this is an unseen
person. And the Pope, the first one. On the other side that they
were getting to there was a king who had just there was a ruler or
somebody that had come in the area, or any sound boat.
Craft, he would confiscate. So unbeknown to all of them.
This was an act of mercy. They pulled off a few planks, when they
got to the other side. It looked defective. So it was left alone.
It was actually an act of mercy. But in this case, what this tells
us the lesson from this I mentioned very shortly, but the
the lesson from this story is that never jump to conclusions.
Regardless of what you may see, take it easy and making your
judgments especially I mean, I'll talk off on the side, especially
when it comes to quoting somebody a cafe book

the plane and I asked my friend, it's Monday it's going to be slept
out he prayed obviously we've got two hours left. We can even touch
down in Riyadh and pray there. Right? So I said, Okay, fine. So
they said, and he said, Well, this time I've been seeing this woman

girlfriend or whatever the story was, but she was totally dressed
in a very inappropriate way

up her bag took out this herbal Yeah, totally covered us up and
sat down and prayed I was shut out my greatest reason. And I was
thinking Subhanallah we're making that we were waiting to pray late

clear as I was waiting my days and I said to her May Allah give you
