Abu Bakr Zoud – Do Not Be Like The Fish Outside The Ocean

			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim, my brothers and sisters in Islam Alhamdulillah for Allah has fever
upon us. We are still living in these beautiful sacred days of the sacred month of Rajab ask Allah
azza wa jal to allow us to reach Ramadan, and to bless our actions and our deeds in Ramadan. My
Brothers and Sisters in Islam, I wanted to bring your attention to something very important. And
I'll begin with the example. You know the fish, if it was removed from its environment, which is the
water in the ocean, what happens to that fish? If you observe it closely, you will find that he
shakes and he trembles violently
		

			because it's panicking. It's worried that he's going to be the end of its life. Why because it was
removed from its environment. Similarly, my brothers and sisters in Islam, the human being is
created. Allah subhanahu wa taala has made for for us an environment that we are supposed to embrace
and engage with and remain in. And that is the environment of Iman and Islam and the Quran Allah
subhanahu wata either we our entire body, including our heart and our mind, was created to fulfill
La Ilaha illa Allah. So the moment you abandon the Corolla, if you move away from the Quran, from
sila to Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, if you move away from the crolla, from the prayers from
		

			fasting, from the circles of knowledge, if you move away from this, your state is going to be that
like of a fish that has been removed from the ocean and the water Allahu Akbar, the heart will
shake, it will tremble, and nothing will bring tranquility and peace and comfort to the heart of a
human being other than him returning to his environment, which is Victrola, which is Allah Eman.
This is our environment. Allah azza wa jal Li says Allah be Vickery lay document in Nakuru, Allah
azza wa jal affirms in this area, that the heart will only find peace and tranquility and comfort in
the remembrance of Allah azza wa jal and the Kerala has social is anything of the worships that
		

			reminds you of Allah subhanho wa taala. A Salah Zika fasting, reading Quran doing still fall,
updating your Toba every night and every day. This is our environment my brothers and sisters in
Islam. So use this month and the days that remain in this month and the month that comes after
Shabbat and Ramadan. Use these bliss days to work on bringing yourself back to the environment that
you are created for. Once you find your environment and you sit in the gardens of Eman the evening
there you will find comfort be if you learn you will find peace and tranquility Subhanallah and that
my brothers and sisters in Islam does not mean
		

			that a committed believer will not be tested and will not go through moments of stress and calamity
and difficulty. No. It just means that the believer who is in the environment of Eman and has
committed to righteousness almost definitely find stress in his life and calamities and difficulties
and hardship. But he will be able to manage it really well. He'll be able to practice patience
really well. Allah azza wa jal will give him the ability to do so. That's why Allah subhanho wa
Taala he said, When mejor min Belaire Yeah, the akamba Allah azza wa jal, he said mal Saba Mimosa
any calamity that afflicts a person, Allah azza wa jal he says after this warming, you mean Billa
		

			anyone who believes in Allah, he believes in Allah he's in the environment of Eman he believes that
Allah azza wa jal has tested him. Yeah, they are coming back he will guide his heart. He will guide
the heart so that it can find peace and tranquility and comfort in a time of calamity now these are
a few thoughts that I wanted to share with you. In these beautiful these that we are living in West
LA subhanho wa Taala to forgive our sins we asked him subhanho wa Taala to elevate our ranks in the
Paradise in the Hollywood valley called Colorado or SallAllahu wasallam or Vatika Allen Urbina,
Muhammad wa ala alihi wa Sabi Germaine
