Abu Bakr Zoud – How To Fight Evil Thoughts During Calamities

The way to get rid of an evil

thought in your mind about Allah in a

moment of calamity is to say

that gets rid of everything you're going to

think evil about Allah

That he takes it a step further. Watch

this.

I am a wrong doer.

I did wrong.

I'm in this calamity because of my own

hands, because of my own decision that I

made.

I'm here because of me.

I'm not in this calamity of the belly

of the whale because of you. I'm not

here because you oppressed me or wrong

Allah.

Allah doesn't oppress anyone.

Allah doesn't wrong anyone.

Allah is not in just to anyone at

all.

Rather Allah is full of wisdom and knowledge

and justice.

And everything he decreases for knowledge and wisdom

that he knows that no one else knows.

Can you do that in a time of

calamity?

You can sit there in a time of

calamity and say, Allah

it's me. I'm in this because of me.

This is an achievement brothers and sisters.

See how Quran

shapes

your understanding of things.

The worst thing

that you can experience in a calamity is

evil thoughts of Allah and

acting by them.

So an evil thought and acting by it

is to say, why did Allah test me

with this and with that? I don't want

to pray anymore.

Well, there was a story a Sheikh of

ours tells us. A religion in,

There is a book,

wrote. The story of the foolish,

heedless people.

One of the stories he mentioned was a

man

that used to fast voluntarily.

And he used to have camels as well.

He fasted voluntarily,

he had camels,

and

he lost 7 of his camels.

He said, lord,

I fasted voluntarily

for your sake,

And you deal with me in this manner,

and you take 7 camels away from me.

The days that I fasted,

I'm going to minus them from Ramadan.

So when Ramadan came, he fasted 23 days,

and he did not fast the rest, the

7.

By the law,

show the foolishness.

See you already He's thinking that Allah

done bad with him. So I'm gonna get

Allah back

by missing 7 days in Ramadan.

Foolishness.

But there is people like this.

There is people like this in their relationship

with Allah.

How many times have you heard of a

person he left the salah, things were going

bad in his life.

How many stories have you heard that a

sister removed the hijab, things were going bad

in her life.

And what do we say to each other?

Now leave him leave him. You don't understand.

He's He's going through a hard time. Triana,

he's the only one that's going through a

hard time. No one else went through a

hard time.

But the reality is they didn't read the

Quran.

That's the reality.

Give these people proper advice.

Don't sit there and comfort them and tell

them it's alright you're going through this doesn't

matter. Allah doesn't want you to pray now.

It's okay. Take time off.

You'd like to remove your hijab. It's alright.

No worries. Once things go better come back.

Advice you give to one another.

Heather, this is from a shaypa.

These people actually did not read the Quran.

If anything, they are in need of these

in the Quran.

They're in need of this type of medicine.

The word

eliminates and removes every evil thought you have

of Allah.

If anyone, it's you.

You're in this issue because of you.

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.
