exist when our hold on our water in leveler. Amen. claim that Allah doesn't exist. So a righteous man, he came to him and he questioned him. He said to him, Why do you say so? Why do you believe that Allah doesn't exist? So he responded, and he said to him, look at everyone's problems. Look, everyone is sick, everyone is ill, everyone is going through hardship, difficulty poverty, where where is a lot to solve the people's problems. Therefore law doesn't exist when our hold our court, the leveler. So the next day, this righteous man, he went back to this person that has disbelieved in the existence of Allah azza wa jal,
and this righteous man, he said to this disbeliever he said to him,
I don't believe that hairdressers exist in this country. So this disbeliever said to him, Why do you say so? He said, Look, look at the people's head. Look at the people's heads disheveled. It's nasty looking. It's ugly. It's long. It's out of place. I believe there are no head dresses in this country. Look at the people's head.
So the disbeliever he said theme, of course there are hairdressers, but people don't go to them. People don't want to enter the door of the salon and have a haircut. So then the righteous man he said the Mr. Allah social does exist. But the people that have been affected with calamity, don't want to turn to Allah. Don't want to ask from Allah. They don't visit the house of Allah. They don't enter upon Allah and so agenda and raise their hand and request when the vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam has in the Habib, mocha be calm in the name. He came past a home a tribe that were that were tested with intense calamities, sicknesses, diseases, poverty, whatever it is, they were tested with
intense calamities when the recent lamotta us alum saw them. And he said, surprised, surprised, he said, and again.
