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

00:00:43 --> 00:01:32

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.

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.
