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.
