How Allah works? We don't know, but we
accept the calamity. Don't think that Allah is
against you.
Rather, this calamity is a purification for you.
It's cleansing you. It's preparing you for the
meeting with Allah.
It's giving you a chance
to exercise the beautiful patience Allah wants to
see.
How can you be patient if you never
tested in your patience?
How can you practice this beautiful worship of
patience
if you never tested?
So Allah wants to elevate you. So he
tests you to bring out this beautiful worship
of patience.
And the beautiful worship of a dua, and
the beautiful worship of
seeking his help.
All of these are worships of the heart.
It will never come out if you're not
tested.
So no. It's not the matter of fact
that Allah is against you. Otherwise, what are
we gonna say about prophets?
Allah was against them all along.
No one will say this.
So don't understand wrong.
The tests are there for a for a
reason and Allah already promised us this. It's
not like coming out of the blue.
He said, be shame, be not sin. We're
gonna test you with loss.
And and the reason for why Allah told
us this is so that we become more
acceptable of it. We prepare for it. You
know, like if I was a teacher, I
came into the classroom and I said brothers
and sisters, you have an exam
today. You are all shocked. What do you
mean? You didn't tell us. We are not
prepared.
I mean, imagine I'm a teacher and I
said to you brothers,
in a month's time, you have an exam.
So, a month's time, come I give you
the exam. Is anyone shocked?
No. But Allah told us in the Quran,
we will test you with loss.
But when the loss comes,
didn't Allah already tell you? Whoever's wrong.
There's 1 or 2 things. Either Allah did
not tell you or you're not reading the
Quran and reading what Allah has promised you.
1 of 2.
So the believers prepared.
Quran.
It shapes the mind, it shapes the attitude,
it puts you on that path that you're
supposed to be with Allah
