Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen or salat wa salam ala rasulillah Bala le your site be a humane. All praise and thanks belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon his servant and final messenger, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as to what follows my dear respected brothers and sisters in Islam as salaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:40

And today, I wanted to dedicate this lecture this lesson to my brothers and sisters, specifically that are residing in Sydney, Australia

00:00:41 --> 00:00:53

who are now entering their I think fifth or sixth week of an intense lockdown for the situation in Sydney is very real. It is serious.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

Everything is perhaps, basically closed.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

People are losing hope.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:13

No one knows when this lockdown will end. And what makes things worse is that the massages are closed. No congregational prayers, no solid Juma? No brotherhood.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:30

schools are closed. Children are being homeschooled. So if that's a family that has five kids, six kids, you can imagine how difficult that is going to be especially when there is no information about when this lockdown will be lifted.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:39

family problems are on the rise. Men are not going to work. Everything is just shut down.

00:01:40 --> 00:02:26

We have police on the street. The army is deployed on the street as well making sure that everyone is in house add to that there's a five kilometer radius you cannot leave that you can only be within five kilometers of your house and many more Allah Hanim what restrictions also are there for this is a very difficult time for our brothers and sisters in Sydney, Australia. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make it easy upon them. We ask Allah azza wa jal to descend upon us all peace and tranquility and that He grant us guidance so that we're able to navigate in difficult times and in times of calamities, my brothers and sisters in Islam.

00:02:28 --> 00:03:13

Let me first and foremost begin with the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in terms of how the believer is supposed to respond, whether he's living in times of good times of ease times of comfort, or in times of difficulty and intense calamity and hardship. There's a beautiful Hadith that is narrated by Omar mini and I shall obey Allah one her in where she says, can also the lying is some Allahu Allah He was a lemma if Allah May, Allah Al Hamdulillah he loves to be near Matty heater Tim musala head there Matt what is our ma a color palette? hamdu lillahi Allah Cooley had this hadith is authentic eyeshadow the Allahu anhu is seeing that in Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa

00:03:13 --> 00:03:42

sallam, whenever he saw something that is pleasing to Him, if I know him, when he used to see something that is pleasing to Him, He would say Alhamdulillah a lovey binaire Amity he that the masala hat it praise Allah subhanho wa Taala with these words, what is our Ma and if you saw something, and he was he if he saw something he disliked if he saw something he disliked.

00:03:44 --> 00:04:05

It was a difficulty It was a hardship It was a calamity, something that is disliked by the human being. And Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would also praise Allah through these words he would say, and hamdulillah Allah Aquila, Han, all praise and thanks belongs to Allah azza wa jal, Allah akula *.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:20

It belongs to him over whatever situation we are in overs, whatever situation we are living, whether it's easy, whether it's difficult, and you realize in this beautiful world of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:04:21 --> 00:04:27

his man is with Allah azza wa jal, his manners with Allah subhanho wa Taala that

00:04:29 --> 00:04:59

fulfill Allah as an array map or hammer home Allah they see sun will have no problem in Allah. When there was good he would ascribe it to Allah subhanho wa Taala and thank Allah azza wa jal for and when he would see something bad he when he would see something difficult, something of a calamity. His manners with Alonzo version was to see and handle the letter as well on air cooler hand. This is manners with a loss sergeant, that you you're grateful and you express gratitude to a lawsuit.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:34

Hola Diana, for the difficulty that you're in and for the hardship that you're in, for the believer is supposed to thank Allah azza wa jal in good times. And also in difficult times, this is worship for a believer to do so. This is very important for us to know lender, the power of Allah subhanho wa Taala is always good. What you're going through now my brothers and sisters in Islam have intense difficulty and extreme hardship and these new rules and this lockdown that you have never seen ever in your lifetime,

00:05:36 --> 00:05:44

nor your parents have seen in their lifetime and there is nothing that we can read about it in terms of how people survived that in the past.

00:05:45 --> 00:06:35

Right now you need to understand, this is by the color of Allah social. What has happened is by the color of Allah and all the model of Allah Zoysia is good all the decree of Allah azza wa jal is good. You must believe this and you must acknowledge this with your heart. This is what our faith This is what our Eman tells us. And this is the moment for your Eman to shine and Tara's abdelkarim Rahim Allah He says, Lee surfy cloudy lahemaa born sharp. He says there is no absolute evil in the color of Allah. Even what is apparently evil, what we see is evil. What we see is difficult. embedded within that is heaps of goodness, loads and loads of mercy and goodness. But we fail to see

00:06:35 --> 00:07:18

that because our knowledge is not like Allah Zoysia and his knowledge. And so long as our knowledge is not like a lost knowledge, we will never see the wisdom behind what Allah subhanho wa Taala decrees and what he does. But this is the faith of the believer, he must have faith in Allah and trust that allows vision only decrease what is good for his righteous believing servants. So that's the first and foremost thing your mindset needs to be correct before you do anything. In this lockdown, before you do anything, your mindset, your attitude towards Allah azza wa jal and your he man and the positioning of your Eman must be correct that it must be thinking straight and right. So

00:07:18 --> 00:07:41

that's the first thing you need to acknowledge that whatever situation you're in right now Alhamdulillah hyaluron wanyama Alhamdulillah Allah Kula have seen these words now and repeat them. And hamdu lillahi Allah akula Han and continue to see them until you're satisfied that you are seeing them from your heart and not only with your tongue.

00:07:42 --> 00:08:16

The next thing is to acknowledge that there is goodness behind the apparent bad other that we see I see the word apparent because from our eyes, we see it as something bad. But from Allah subhanho wa Taala this perspective, this color that we see as bad is actually good, and it's healthy for the servants. We need to have good fought in Allah subhanho wa Taala at this very moment need to have good fought in the last session. How do we have good fought and what are we supposed to be thinking? Number one think think my brothers and sisters in Islam,

00:08:17 --> 00:08:31

that the one who is testing us at this moment is more merciful towards you than you are to your own self. Because at the end of the day, Allah or hammer wa he mean, He is the Most Merciful.

00:08:32 --> 00:09:19

Yes, with this lockdown that you're in, and this difficulty that you're in, and this fee and this anxiety that you feel will address this. But these matters, and this job loss and this wealth and the income that you're losing, and the children that are in your face, 24 seven and you need to cope and deal with the troubles and all this, all of this you need to understand is a test from Allah. And he is the one who is more merciful to us than we are to our own selves. That's number one. Number two good faith in Allah to think during this time of calamity, that the one who tests us, only wants good for us. Don't think that Allah is testing you, because he wants to punish you.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:59

Or he wants to inflict harm upon you. No, never ever think like this of Allah azza wa jal rather, the one who is testing us, Allah, He wants good for us. Maybe we'll do we will experience pain. But this pain is good for us. Allah has social wants good for us. And this is evident in the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in where he says, as you have a late unreal moment that the affairs of the believer or something amazing and incredible in that and what I have heard all his man is the good and the bad, all good for him. How is that and the reason I said Lem says in asaba whoa sobre la

00:10:00 --> 00:10:44

Got that if God was to happen to him, he thinks Allah as a result that's good for it because when you thank Allah you're rewarded when asaba to Bob well, and if something evil or difficult or bad was to happen to him, sabar, again a higher level, he observed patients he commits the patience and patience is good for him because it is rewarding patients in time of difficulty is where as you will discuss what patience is and how to exercise patience, but understand these things that the one who is testing us wants good ones. And ultimately, we are the ones that will benefit from this on the day of judgment and in this life. Number three, having good thought in Alonzo as well during this

00:10:44 --> 00:10:59

difficult moment, is to understand that the one who is testing us subhanho wa Taala, the one law who is testing you at this moment in this lockdown that has dragged now for six weeks now Allah Allah when it ends,

00:11:00 --> 00:11:55

he responds immediately to your supplication. He is responds immediately to supplication, especially when a person is in distress and is in calamity, a lot of so shall he says. A Miyoshi will mubadala either way a chief will sue who Allah Sojin asks who other than Allah would answer the call of the distressed whenever he calls him, were actually for Sue. And he uncovers the difficulty and the calamity. Even Allah subhanho wa Taala wants to hear the Dwyer of the person in distress. This is the best moment to the making dua to Allah. So again, when you are extremely ill when you are tested with extreme difficulty and hardship. This is the moment that allows sosial promises to accept the

00:11:55 --> 00:12:41

Dwyer immediately. And if you were to look into an MBA and reads all of the MBA, all of the MBA 10 pages in the program read it tonight, Alonzo Gilles mentions in stories of profits that were trialed and tested really severe difficult trials. And each of them made a dire and at the end of each of the story of the Prophet Allah azza wa jal would say, first job nella first job, nella, we immediately answered these immediately, according to Allah, not immediately in our time, in the next minute or a minute second, if that's what Allah wants, if that happens immediately on a large social terms means whenever he decides whenever he decrees, for step nella, we answered his diet, these

00:12:41 --> 00:12:48

prophets when they went through difficulty and made by to Allah, The result was always faster chanela we answered.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:56

And for fourth point I want to mention here thinking good of Allah in this time of calamity and difficulty,

00:12:57 --> 00:13:17

acknowledge and realize my brothers and sisters in Islam, that Omar social wall, replace your losses, and he can replace your losses, then what is the difficulty now? People are getting, they're anxious, they're worried. He's running out of job. So that's source of income lost, right?

00:13:18 --> 00:13:57

Not earning as much as he used to earn before these lock downs. So there is a worry people get worried when they financials, this is a financial difficulty, financial stress. But how do we think of this? And how do we comfort ourselves that this should be fine, and it would be alright, we need to discuss this. I'll mention too. But you see, there are losses in this time, perhaps people are worried for their education. He told students he 11 students attend students, people that go to university people that are studying, they're worried that they're losing out on a lot of knowledge that they could have learned in school, and a lot of education they could have earned. Right? This

00:13:57 --> 00:14:37

is a worry parents are worried for the young children that they're sitting at home, there is an opportunity of education is going and slipping even though there are these replacements of homeschooling and so on but it's not as good as a child sitting in class. So, there is this loss. And generally, generally human beings stress and they become anxious and they become worried when there is a loss, especially when they cannot do anything about it. Let me know at this moment, when you when you feel my words, and you can relate to what I'm seeing and you're worried about your losses. People have businesses, the business is threatened, they might close down, their staff are

00:14:37 --> 00:14:48

going the business is going to close. How is he going to survive and revive after this? Sit down, relax and reflect over the story of au Bali.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:59

Uh, your body, you said was tested in his health in his world and in his family for almost 18 years.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:08

Give or take a loved one and but for a long time he was tested and he was locked down in his house for all this period.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:32

And he was sick on top of this. Yeah knew what the sowhat test over test. He lost his wealth, his business all gone. He lost all these children had about 27 children, Allahu Allah. Some of the narrations mentioned, only his wife was alive. He lost his ability to move and to function. His wife had to carry him to the bathroom and back and he was bedridden for 18 years.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:43

Yet after this entire test, and he made to Allah, Allah Bhima sending a bottle one Tara Hamad wa Hamid Allah

00:15:44 --> 00:16:13

difficulty has touched me Look at his manners with Allah has Zoysia he says difficulty has touched me I can feel it must send me a ball. It's touched me I can feel it. One hammer Rahimi and you are the Most Merciful. He's acknowledging the mercy of Allah in the most difficult of times. This is an achievement my brothers and sisters in Islam, to acknowledge the mercy of Allah in the most difficult of times.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:56

This is achievement, you know, saying that Allah is the most versatile in times of ease is very easy. Anyone can say that. The challenge is to say this in a time of difficulty, now in this time, so your value Salam says we're under all hammered. Why he mean, you know, as a result after 18 years of sickness, when Allah sosial finally cured a yo Valley he said, you know what Allah said? Allah azza wa jal said faster job nella, we answered him, meaning he made during this time of sickness he made diet so that means for your life during this time of lockdown during this time of difficulty you make dua, Allah and city. Now listen for Kashif, there may be a newborn, we remove the calamity.

00:16:57 --> 00:17:07

We removed his calamity kashf now it's like it was a blanket covering him. It was choking him, you know Kashif neck when needed to see someone wrapped in a blanket.

00:17:09 --> 00:18:00

There's tightness is there's anxiety, people become anxious? It's tight, it's gloomy. Right? A lot of social said FACA Schaffner, we remove that and look at the ease of the word Kashif. Now upon Allah, it was easy, all it is, it was just removing the sheet, the sheet of difficulty a lot, just remove that focus shift now may be even more any kind of difficulty that was going through whether it was a Mental Difficulty or a physical difficulty, financial difficulty, what are they it is a lot removed at all. And then the last Zoysia he said, what the now Who? Hello, mommy floam ma whom are met Amina, and Allah has version replaced his losses. Allah replaced his losses. This is why I'm

00:18:00 --> 00:18:35

telling you, when you're worried about your loss, believe and acknowledge that Allah can replace your losses. What is it, you're going to lose your business, you're losing your income, you're losing a moment of pure and good education, Allah would replace the losses will will rule the Replace your losses on social Well, I said, Well, I think you know, we gave him his family back when we left her mom. And similar to his family, we duplicated this family now in the law, when they explain this

00:18:36 --> 00:19:18

criminal law he said p Lily a tube it was sent to Europe Allah sent an angel to you. And he said to him in laka laka fil a hill that your family is 27 children of yours that you lost. They are all in the paradise and they are waiting for you over there on the Day of Judgment for in shit that I shall know from lack of dunya if you want our YouTube Allah who give you that family that's waiting for you in the paradise he'll bring them to you right now. And this is one of the famous opinions of an alumna and the majority of the Muslim of a saloon mentioned this opinion that Allah got him his family back. But listen to this narration I mentioning to you because it is any comes more correct

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

with the understanding of the air.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:35

Your boss told your family is waiting in the paradise for you. Do you want to wait until you get to them. And if you decide and you want Allah subhanahu wa taala will bring them to you flesh and skin back to this worldly life.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

So

00:19:40 --> 00:19:54

for Han yaku Luna leafield He said, I want them to be for me in the afterlife, meaning keep them in the paradise. What all DMF lavonte dunya and I want similar to them in this world in life.

00:19:55 --> 00:20:00

So that is the meaning of colita Allah we're at the next level we gave you

00:20:00 --> 00:20:51

His family, meaning his original family, Allah gave it to him when he gets to the paradise Illa on the Day of Judgment. When we left when Allah said when we level ma home and we gave him similar to his family, meaning Allah azza wa jal gave him, children 27 of them again in this worldly life, he replaced his losses. This is what Allah did. Not only his family, but look now financially, what happened a year Valley he was told to go and make horses. So he went out to a river, and he was naked, this hadith in Sahil Buhari, and he made awesome he made those for our Salallahu alaihe salam don't mean the hub. Allah showered upon him. He showered upon him gold. He showered upon in gold he

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

replaced his losses once again.

00:20:54 --> 00:21:04

You need to believe that Allah would replace your losses and he can do so. And Allah so it was raining literally it was raining gold upon a yo Bali he said

00:21:06 --> 00:21:55

and he began to collect the gold. He rushed and he began to collect and gather this gold. So Allah subhanho wa Taala he said to him, alum of nicaea you have an idea of a new enough, are you enough because there's a narration that mentions that he where he was standing, he went he went away to get a bag of gold that had gone had come down at a distance from where he will say he ran out and got it and came back. So Allah said team haven't given you enough what's in front of you enough for you while his salami said color yellow woman Nish. Baumann Matic woman Nish bow been public? He said Oh Allah, Who? Who is it that can see I've had enough of your mercy. I've have had enough of your

00:21:55 --> 00:22:16

favorites. Who which fall would say all I don't want your mercy. Keep it away from the other one from your bounty keep it away from me. He realized this is law and he began to collect it and collect as much as he can from it so long as that is helpful, of course. So the ID is the ID is a law can replace your losses.

00:22:17 --> 00:22:59

This is the story of a your valet job. So there's no need to have this stress over your finances and your businesses. You stress and you're anxious. Okay, that's fine. You're going to have this this is an Abdullah Allah azza wa jal, he says, when an up lower near completion, emotional health, we're going to test you with some fee. We acknowledge these no problems, people are going to feel anxious, but at the same time, it is encouraged for the believers that we comfort each other. And we share these stories and we say to each other do it fee and don't worry, and don't be scared. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala said this tomorrow Allah Salaam, when Maria was in a very difficult moment in her

00:22:59 --> 00:23:44

life, and she was pregnant and she worried what her people would see. You can imagine the level of stress and anxiety Miriam alayhis salaam went through Allah said to her, lead the hoffy you will advise me Don't be anxious. Don't be Don't be afraid. And don't worry, don't be sad. The mother of Musashi has said when she also went through a difficulty and she had lost her son more Sally center. He's in the river river, Long Island where he's going. Allah woods and she was of course she was she was afraid. Of course she was all anxious. emotions were running wild. Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned this was perhaps the only Moosa 30 her that her heart became drained and empty.

00:23:46 --> 00:23:58

Then Allah social sector led the hoffy Well, Attorney in order to elect a new human and mousseline let the hoffy don't see. Well, Sonny, and don't worry.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:17

Don't be worried in there or do we like we're going to return him into now my brothers and sisters in Islam, close your eyes and think or do who you like, we're going to return it to you. Whatever you lost Allah will return to you but if Allah and Allah is promised is always right.

00:24:18 --> 00:24:34

And Allah social return musala your certainties, mother. One lucky he returned in the most abnormal of ways in the most impossible of ways. Can you think of it if you don't hear around? Who wanted every baby boy dead?

00:24:36 --> 00:24:59

And this baby boy Moosa arrives to his palace, because he is a dead boy now. Yet Allah saves him just so he can fulfill his promise with the mother of all Sally has set up in now our doggie lake and he returned, he returned more Sally sent him back to his mother. For my brothers and sisters in Islam. Where are they now?

00:25:00 --> 00:25:22

Hola Hola. Hola me floam Ma, mutton min andina Allah azza wa jal he returned, he returned what a yoga is Salaam had lost during his time of calamity and difficulty, he returned it. Why did Allah return it? Allah says in the air, or matter min in dinner as a mercy from Us.

00:25:24 --> 00:25:24

That means that

00:25:26 --> 00:25:57

we don't deserve we a lot of social doesn't give us because we deserve it. Allah gives us because he's the most generous, because he's the most merciful. So we're clinging on to our laws, mercy. Alonso actually gives us not because we deserve it, or because we're smart or because we're intelligent or because we know how to do business with people or you you're relying on your business to keep you afloat and financially sustained.

00:25:58 --> 00:26:44

Is this what you're doing when you rely on your business, and then you see it go downhill, and it's crushing and it's going into loss, that's when you will become even more worried. We rely upon Allah. Allah, Allah Zack, when Allah gives us, He gives us because he's the most generous, he's the most merciful or not and benign dinner. When Allah if Allah when He replaces your losses in the long run, but if we learn later on in your life, you will see you'll understand, you will realize that it was a mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And you must ascribe this mercy to Allah azza wa jal, not to yourself mean indeed, from us, not from you, not from your intelligence. And look how beautiful the

00:26:44 --> 00:27:12

area ends. Allah sosial says, We're Vicar or Lila OBD. Again, what e Corolla OBD in meaning this story of a YouTube it's not just to tell us about a Europe. It's a vehicle. It's a reminder, it's a lesson. It's a lesson for everyone who worships Allah. So again,

00:27:14 --> 00:27:24

any time he existed, I think Corolla lillahi Deen. Allah is reminding us through the story, that Allah sosial is able to replace your losses,

00:27:25 --> 00:27:34

not only for a YouTube, but for every worshipper that comes after a YouTube Larabee Dean is in the key, the key

00:27:35 --> 00:27:35

to

00:27:37 --> 00:27:47

for a lot to replace your losses. And IBD be from among the worshipers. Be from among those who adhere and commit to the worship of Allah. So

00:27:48 --> 00:28:03

that's how you will guarantee Bismillah that Allah would replace your losses, you'll get a new body he said, It is enough of a story to give you a calmness and satisfaction and tranquility or llahi. It is enough.

00:28:04 --> 00:28:17

This is thinking good of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So this other that Allah azza wa jal has written upon you all, that you're sitting in this lockdown, and it doesn't have any end Allah who Allah when it's going to end.

00:28:19 --> 00:28:25

Trust that it is good for you. Don't worry about your losses, Allah has solution would replace them for you.

00:28:27 --> 00:29:08

And we have to believe in accept this bed other. Why? Why do we have to accept the bed? Because when Allah decreased something, he decrees upon knowledge and wisdom. But it that's why we have to accept bad color. Because it's decreed upon knowledge and wisdom of Allah. Allahu Allah antonette Allah, Allah knows, and you don't know. You could look, look how blunt This is what led on the ward, you don't know you and you don't know anything. Just accept a lot of loss aversion. And understand, understand that you're in good hands. You're in good hands, so long as you're faithful to Allah Zoysia.

00:29:09 --> 00:29:28

Your stress and your anxiety would increase the moment you turn away from a law and you begin to worry about the future and what is going to happen in the future. And when you begin to worry about your financials, and worry about this and worry about that. This is when you you bring stress upon yourself.

00:29:29 --> 00:29:31

Take a step back and look at yourself.

00:29:33 --> 00:29:40

What have you got to Why have you reached to the stage? Where is the EMA? Where's the faith in the believer?

00:29:42 --> 00:29:45

And where is the believers that are coming each other?

00:29:46 --> 00:29:59

It is a sin. It is a sin to cast fi in the hearts of others. This in Islam is known as an area of an era Jeff Mohan to cast fee and terror in the hearts of people

00:30:00 --> 00:30:11

And to tell them all sorts of words and theories, that there is no more hope that we're all doomed, that we're all finished. Where these words come from.

00:30:13 --> 00:30:29

Don't listen to words like this, and attach your heart to a loss or one and understand well, that even if the entire world wanted to harm you, no one can harm you except by a loss permission. And at the same time, no one can harm you except by a loss. So against permission.

00:30:31 --> 00:30:37

In this time, you need to be grateful to Allah so we should, you must be grateful to Allah. So

00:30:39 --> 00:30:49

don't sit down and complain about 1000 things that you can complain about. Use your energy to find 1000 things that you can be grateful for Allah to

00:30:50 --> 00:31:37

think of that, you know, let me share with you something, the human being by default is ungrateful. By default. Again, if you just ran yourself on, on neutral if you ran yourself neutral default, the human being is ungrateful. Allah azza wa jal, he says, we're in Tel Dona Matala. He later saw her in Santa Laval moon cafe. When Alonzo Gilles described the nature of the human being. He said his volume is a wrongdoer. He does run and he is tougher. He's extremely ungrateful, extremely ungrateful. will remember saburo hammer Hold on, he said in his tafsir heavy he have Avia to insert. This is the nature of the human being. He's extremely ungrateful Lazor. He said in the insert a

00:31:37 --> 00:31:51

little bitty like a note that the human being towards his Lord is extremely ungrateful. So, by default, we are ungrateful. So what that means why I'm telling you this is because you need to find the strength to think a loss solution.

00:31:53 --> 00:32:12

You need to shift your energy towards thinking aloha solution. Yes, it's an exercise to think a lot. It's an exercise it requires brain cells, it requires energy to kind of strength. Because default the human being can find a million things to be ungrateful for,

00:32:13 --> 00:32:21

you need to counter counter this default nature within you and fight it, resist it.

00:32:22 --> 00:32:29

And find the strength and the energy to think Allah subhanho wa Taala to go towards the gratitude of Allah azza wa jal

00:32:30 --> 00:33:20

now, when the end and Yanni interface Allah Maha Allah He was seldom taught us many ways in how to do this. For example, in Nabi sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam teaches us that we continuously look at those who are less than us financially, and to never look at those who are higher than us financially. Because if you look at those who are less than you financially, what does it do as a lead as Dodo Namath? Allahu alikum as an abyssal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, if you look at those who are less than you financially, what does it do? This is what it does. It will keep you safe from belittling a laws Namah and favor upon you. So look at those below you look around the world. Yes,

00:33:20 --> 00:33:21

you're locked in a

00:33:22 --> 00:33:47

you're in lockdown. It's maybe the fifth or sixth week. You can apply for a government grant for example, you can apply government will pay you muscle on $400 a week to sit down on the couch. $750 if you're I think lost more than 20 hours of work just for sitting on the couch. While others when they in locked down. No one is looking after them. No one gives them anything.

00:33:48 --> 00:33:59

At least you have food on your table. Others will sleep tonight with no food. At least you have called on you. One law he tonight people sleep with no clothes on them.

00:34:01 --> 00:34:10

That's a fact. You have a shelter above your roof. One law he people tonight was sleep and this and the sky is the roof.

00:34:12 --> 00:34:17

You have a million things to think one of the best ways is to look at those below you

00:34:19 --> 00:34:29

those less than you financially and your thank Allah social. And you know, since it's nighttime here in Sydney, and as you prepare to sleep,

00:34:30 --> 00:34:59

one of Galton known one of the supplications and the wicked were supposed to see before we sleep and this was the reed Anderson medical their loved one we mentioned that interview sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he used to go to sleep, he would say and humbly lay he lived the apartment also Cornell cafe and we're aware now for camomilla Cafe Allahu William we, you know that just before you sleep, it is a sooner to remember and to reflect over those that are less than you financially.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:18

every single night You're supposed to reflect the people that are about people that are less than you financially. And how do you this liquid before you sleep, you say all praises for Allah and humbly let the one who provided us food Obama was a foreigner and gave us to drink, What gift

00:35:20 --> 00:35:48

and he sufficed us, he looked after us and our needs, were awareness, and he shouted us. And then at the end of the vicar, you're supposed to say, Well, have you Sahih Muslim at the end of the vicar, you say, for camomilla keffi Allahu Allah Mui. How many of those around the world that do not have enough? And they have no shelter? Meaning what does that mean? It's not just words, you say?

00:35:49 --> 00:35:55

It's a words that force you to think about those that are less than you financially.

00:35:56 --> 00:36:29

And look at this, look at this liquid before you sleep. Obama now was the Cornell governor near him about the numa it's a blessing after a blessing after blessing. We're not allowed we you're not a true believers not supposed to sleep except after praising Allah for all the food and the drink that he's provided us. For the home that he's given us for the shelter for the clothing. It's not appropriate, defend, come off one thing and forget about the other things. Think of your clothing. Think of your food. Think of what you drink today. Think of the three meals you had.

00:36:30 --> 00:36:40

Think of the blessings, think of the money that you still have. Think of your savings and how much you have. Think of the house and the shelter that's above your head.

00:36:42 --> 00:36:49

Think of the niche in Sydney. It's cold. Think of think of the heater and the warmth that you have at home.

00:36:51 --> 00:37:21

And think of the ability that you're able to leave the house and go and buy some food and come back. Well humbler Allah Kula Han Allah at the end of the day, there is so much to think of one lot of love in my brothers and sisters in Islam. If you focused your energy, on being grateful to the things in life that Allah has given you oxy mobiler you will not find the energy to worry about things that have been taken away from you. You will not find the energy

00:37:24 --> 00:37:44

panela the believer is supposed to thank Allah even for the minute of things. Look at musala he said when he was on the mountain, and he had a staff a stick a stick in his hand. And he cast that after Allah to uphold him to throw it up. But before that, Allah azza wa jal asked him what's the stick? He begins to say,

00:37:45 --> 00:38:05

our Qawwali Hello, should we allow for the newly FEMA edible Hello, this is a staff it's a stick that I lean on. If I'm sitting and I want to get up, I lean on it. I use it to to hit the trees and then the leaves fall and my sheep eat from it. And I have many other benefits with it. You know what you learn with this, you learn that Musashi has said I

00:38:07 --> 00:38:19

can think of so many things to be grateful for, because of a stick because of a stick. Look how many things he is grateful for because of a stick.

00:38:20 --> 00:38:29

Yeah, neither believer is a person that finds a million reasons to think fat to thank Allah sosial for the even the smallest of things yars

00:38:30 --> 00:38:36

use your energy in that and stop focusing on what you've lost.

00:38:37 --> 00:38:42

Stop focusing on that we set a lot can replace this any time.

00:38:43 --> 00:38:50

But it's your faith in the Lord. So again, that would come you down. There's no faith in Allah. I think no one can do anything for you.

00:38:51 --> 00:39:09

Now my brothers and sisters in Islam, wouldn't it be so long while he was alive? He said menos, Bahama alphabet, any. Anyone who wakes up in the morning, and his body is healthy. And VCB wakes up and he's safe. He's safe in his house,

00:39:10 --> 00:39:44

in the whole world to me, and he has the meal of a day, not two days. He has the meal of a day. sucker and there he is at dunya. It's as though the entire world has been given to him long ago. Yeah, we embarrassed. Aren't we embarrassed to sit there and continuously worry and be terrified when the Navy sallallahu alayhi wasallam is telling you if you wake up in the morning, and you're healthy, and you're safe, and there is safety where you are

00:39:45 --> 00:40:00

and you have the meal of the day not for two days or three that I just the meal of the morning you have breakfast in front of you. It's as though the entire world has gathered for you. Isn't that enough of a reason for you to continuously thank the last part

00:40:00 --> 00:40:00

What the island

00:40:02 --> 00:40:21

when Be careful on what he be careful with seller for hammer home alone. They used to say cool Luna emetine lead to horrible Illa mafia belia every Namur every blessing that does not bring you close to Allah, it's a test it's a calamity. It becomes a punishment upon a person.

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

thank Allah for the little things, you have

00:40:25 --> 00:40:29

these little things if you thank Allah for them enough they become big things in your life.

00:40:31 --> 00:40:39

Well, how long are all with the 11? My brothers and sisters in Islam? So we said, thinking good over law. I discussed that with you.

00:40:41 --> 00:40:50

We spoke about your nice last point we mentioned being grateful to Allah Zoysia and that's going to occupy most of your day and night grateful to a lot.

00:40:51 --> 00:41:22

Also, during this lockdown, you're reforming your relationship with Allah. So as an advocate of girls, Sabah Halima said, the morning and afternoon supplication from among them in the vessel, Allahu alayhi wa sallam taught us a diet that were supposed to see every morning and afternoon. If there are spat there were Yvette MC. To see a lot on the internet over the weekend in an HMI wellhausen over the weekend in an rz old castle. Wow, we come in a Jubilee all over become invalidated the new edition.

00:41:23 --> 00:41:56

The beginning of the Hadith is important. over long I seek refuge meaning or law protect me from alum while it doesn't protect me from depression, sorrow, worry, anxiety, depression, these emotions that run in a human being you're asking a lot to protect you from the well becoming a large z one castle and our law protect me. Protect me from inability and laziness. You know the difference Elijah's will castle alleges alleges is

00:41:58 --> 00:42:35

when when your heart is ready to do a deed. Sorry alleges is when your body is ready, but your heart There's no determination to do a good deed. Wilkerson is when your heart is willing intend to do the good deed, but your body is lazy and doesn't do any good deed. You seek refuge in Allah from these two things from laziness. People in locked down become lazy, they become bored. And laziness and boredom both together are a deadly combination that creates anxiety and depression and the list follows after that. So ask Allah Zoysia to protect you

00:42:36 --> 00:42:46

from laziness of the body and laziness of the heart and inability inability of the heart and get up Bismillah and read of girls so that one must get

00:42:47 --> 00:42:53

busy yourself with Victrola busy yourself with the word of Allah.

00:42:54 --> 00:43:16

Honey my brothers and sisters in Islam and poor and the word of Allah social and when the last so I shall describe that he said Ajay Kumar ever to become what she felt or Lima I feel sudo or houden Ramadan little mini. There is Shiva on Lima for sudo there is a heal for the hearts in the Quran.

00:43:17 --> 00:44:10

There is mercy in this plan, memorize the Orion memorize because when you memorize you're busy with work. So you're occupied and focused and your mind is away from all sorts of things that you might see. and implement the Quran to the bronco. And during this time. You know when you hear the word double reflect and ponder over the Quran simply simply the highest form of of fun pondering over the Quran is to implement the Quran. One method up at 1111 diberi as it has an apostle and Allah says, the highest form of reflecting and pondering over the plan is to implement the plan in your life. So for example, if you open the copy of the plan, and you read from saltan model, and you read war back

00:44:10 --> 00:44:27

Africa better declare the greatness of your Lord stop and say Allah Akbar, Allahu Akbar Al karela say these words now you are doing 100% of the book because you're implementing the command of Allah so again,

00:44:28 --> 00:44:59

do the righteous good deeds during this time Allah II we need righteous good deeds. You know the righteous good deeds in Islam they called a solid head. And there is a reason for why they called slowly head solid head that comes from the word solo Han Solo means to reform to fix something that is broken either now in lockdown when you're broken, when the heart is broken, and the soul and the spirit and the emotion is broken. This is a time you need to fix these breaks. How do you fix them bill saw

00:45:00 --> 00:45:03

hard with good deeds you fix them.

00:45:04 --> 00:45:34

That's why they called Sally had a salad and fasting with Victor one. Iron was sort of hard. All of these are called saw they had because they fix our physical being our mental state our emotional state. They fix us they reform us. They mend the crack and the brick that is there in the heart. Make dua at night. Heather masani had prayed to rock out at night mental solely had

00:45:35 --> 00:45:46

Be patient upon the worship of a man don't give up was stupidly there that day, Allah azza wa jal says, Be patient over his worship don't give up that easily and that quick

00:45:48 --> 00:46:23

and i know i know it becomes really difficult. When we discuss the matter of the masjid is closed. There is no solid Juma there is no Gemma I know congregational prayer. What do we do during this time, when the masjid is closed? And you know, naturally if a person is far away from the masjid, even for a day or two, he realizes a decrease in Amen. So what do we do during this time? understand my brothers and sisters in Islam, that the believer he's a man is with him wherever he goes. It's not attached to a specific place. It's inside his heart. It's here.

00:46:24 --> 00:46:42

When we saw Allah Allah you send them says a taqwa who knows where you shoot Sabri falletta he said, this is where duck ways. This is where the man resides in the heart, for the heart, his wisdom with you wherever you go and come. That's the one event is with the believer wherever he goes.

00:46:43 --> 00:46:55

And during the time of Musa alayhis salaam, when fit open, closed all massaged, and did not let anyone have Bunny is slow enough to congregate congregate and worship Allah in congregation.

00:46:56 --> 00:47:47

Musa alayhis salam, a prophet of Allah was alive at the time and he gave direction and guidance these people we need to follow that advice. He said these people is shallow Buta calm Qiblah. Make your house a blur. In other words, make your house a Masjid. Transform your houses into massage it is shallow, we will continue to solid and establish a solid in the house. Establish a solid in the house. If the massage at a close doesn't matter. We'll strive and will struggle to lobby governments and so on in order to open these massages. Because some people, some people that cheat all they can do is find the event in elicit a be strong and understand that we don't accept the closure of

00:47:47 --> 00:48:33

massage it. We don't accept this. But as a believer, you need to understand that if that's the case, and that's what's before you now, you cannot do anything about it. What do you do you sit down and complain, move by victory layer and understand that email is here. So long as it's here. Make your house a Masjid and follow the advice of Musa alayhis salaam. Look at use of Allah. He said when he's thrown in prison. He uses it as a moment to make Dawa and give down and teach the people. So if you feel like you're confined in your prison in your house, give Dawa to your children and to your family. The mother teach your children the father teach your children teach each other read a book

00:48:33 --> 00:48:34

in a Syrah.

00:48:35 --> 00:48:37

This is what earns your last pleasure.

00:48:38 --> 00:48:46

Yeah, when in doubt is not only a person giving an advice to someone strange. The highest form of a tower is to your family.

00:48:48 --> 00:48:58

Oh and fusa como alikum nada, save yourself and your family from the fire. The biggest dollar you're supposed to do is to your family. So be like Yusuf alayhi salam.

00:49:00 --> 00:49:19

If you feel like you're present in your house, your lips Mila. Open a book The Ceylon and read to your family and discuss Scirocco Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam read at the CEO of Sierra Saudi I always recommend this book it's translated in English in 10 volumes of see the Saudi read it to your children.

00:49:21 --> 00:49:25

and discuss read simple books bill fucker Hadeeth

00:49:27 --> 00:49:31

This is how you go this is this is a dour Illa in the house

00:49:33 --> 00:49:45

emulating the example of use of following his Salah look at you know Salah he said when he was locked down in a whale and he was trapped literally in the belly of the whale.

00:49:46 --> 00:50:00

And he didn't know when he's going to come out. And so if you believe you're in the same situation Soviet it's the same. Your Salah is shalom in the belly of the whale and he did not know when he will come out and you

00:50:00 --> 00:50:00

It was dark

00:50:02 --> 00:50:10

when they are in lockdown, and you don't know when you're coming up. He also found Jonas early he said him, occupied himself be the killer.

00:50:11 --> 00:50:20

He was more concerned with the vicar of Allah and the worship of Allah, more concerned with that than he was concerned with his calamity.

00:50:21 --> 00:50:33

For now, therefore, follow Matt, La Ilaha, Illa and sapan occur in the consuming of oil. I mean, yes, he was worried. Yes, he was depressed. Then the last version said funny gentlemen, and

00:50:34 --> 00:50:53

we saved him from depression and worry. But he didn't let the worry and the depression take the better of him. He didn't allow it to take the better of him. He didn't allow the depression in the war in the anxiety in the fi to cripple him and disable him. And he's telling me victory lap he did not allow it.

00:50:54 --> 00:51:06

Rather, La ilaha illa Anta subhanak in Nico domina, volley mean, was on his tongue repeated, repeated until la made the story of an ad mentioned that in the air,

00:51:08 --> 00:51:21

a thicker, a thicker in these times. We brought him out, he said, when he was thrown in a fire, a difficulty and a calamity and he was trapped in it. He'd say, when Allah who enamelware kealan always saved these prophets.

00:51:23 --> 00:51:36

Reflect over this manner. Make your house a place of worship, in where you establish your solid and you make liquor have a lot of social after your present before your present all the time.

00:51:37 --> 00:51:43

And pray on time my brothers and sisters in Islam and make then it make your house a mess here.

00:51:44 --> 00:51:57

So make the other end for every salad and meet after the event. Because the after the event, or between the event and the comma is an accepted Dwyer it's not rejected.

00:51:58 --> 00:52:05

Why? Because when Allah called you to a salad and you answered, now Allah answers your diet on fourth.

00:52:07 --> 00:52:09

And pray your sooner prayers pray the sooner

00:52:10 --> 00:52:17

before you pray your obligatory prayers, occupy your time bit the vicar bill with worship, wanting

00:52:18 --> 00:52:33

occupied and worship can have the I want to just hear a message to all these people that believe this is the end of time and this is the end of the world that even if you believe that what Jani what do you do then should you be worshipping Allah

00:52:35 --> 00:52:48

should in your final years and the final days and your final moments on earth being worship of Allah, Yanni as extreme as you think of the situation around you, and as bad as you think it is.

00:52:50 --> 00:53:38

You should be busy with the gorilla because that's the only thing that will save you. And that's the only thing that is going to save you in your grave. And before Allah subhanho wa Taala soon no matter how you think of your situation outside the Quran, Allah and the worship of Allah is always relevant. And especially in times of calamity, it needs to increase. So pray your sooner. Relax, make Yvan do I pray your sooner prayers? Wouldn't it be some Allah Allah wa sallam said about the Sunnah prayers for in Allah Jerry, home in sala de Phoebe de hielo that Allah azza wa jal will make an abundant good in your house because of your prayers in the house. And abundance of good would

00:53:38 --> 00:53:41

descend upon the house and its members.

00:53:42 --> 00:53:44

When you pray sooner praise at home

00:53:45 --> 00:54:04

hair the Hadith and the vessel Allah Allah you know, Silla and I remember I recall that at this moment, yeah. And in a story that Shaka Chantilly, high fever Allahu Allah mentioned and this was Bill Medina. He said that an old man came to him complaining about family problems.

00:54:05 --> 00:54:45

The wife and the husband are always arguing with each other. The children are arguing with each other. No one's respecting anyone. The house the family is just on all sorts of chaos and disorganized. So he came to the chef and he complained theme of the family problems is experiencing for shocks at the marquee. At the do you pray you saw that the sooner at home? Do you pray Slaton was at home? Is tamala hiya Haida? What's this wooded? First time I hear of what I don't know what this is? Can you explain to me what is with her? For chefs that theme selected with her? It's the one blackout the minimum one blocker that you pray before you sleep.

00:54:46 --> 00:54:59

The minimum one blackout Allah Zoysia winter Allah is with us. He is one he is odd. And you have polluted he loves odd foul to pray a little ulterior in another Hadith in the Salah.

00:55:00 --> 00:55:13

00:55:14 --> 00:55:15

So then

00:55:17 --> 00:56:06

shucks a thing go and increase asuna prayers in your house and tell your family to pray some new prayers in the house. This old man when after a few months he came back to the shirk excited happy team or law he or she or one lawyer he I took your advice and I prayed Sunnah prayers at home and oxy mobiler our problems have disappeared from the house. There is tranquility and peace and calmness in the house. It has restored once again. any organization and tranquility and love and mercy and compassion and gentleness has been restored once again in the house. A shelter to him sober, colossal Allah and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has spoken the truth when he said for in

00:56:06 --> 00:56:47

Allah has Yeah, Allah home in solidarity heafy Beatty here a lot, that a lot of social would descend into a house an abundance of good if a person wants to establish prayers in his house. What can you lose? What can you lose? When you pray some prayers an extra 11 prayers in your house lamarca laquan my brothers and sisters in Islam are solid is therapy therapy. You know, when people are going through emotional illness, mental illness, they go to the psychologist psychologist recommends therapies whether it's a CBT therapy or other therapies.

00:56:49 --> 00:56:57

That's all good, no problems. I think if you need to do that you go and do that we're at a psychologist. But you know Islam in Islam, we have our own therapies.

00:56:59 --> 00:57:06

And one of the greatest therapies we have in Islam is a solid or solid is a therapy to the heart to the disturbed heart.

00:57:07 --> 00:57:09

It is a therapy.

00:57:10 --> 00:57:19

This is why in the beast on the lamola you are seldom if there has ever been physiology, la salette. When he was worried about something he would rush to a salad.

00:57:20 --> 00:57:24

And you know what's what's interesting is that this is not a hobby he narrated.

00:57:25 --> 00:57:54

This is how the companions described him. What does that mean? Meaning they have seen enough from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, that every time he is distressed he prays that's it it's become a pattern it's become a habit, we've seen it so now they narrated it, yet any How many times did little soul loss Allah while he was alum, pre whenever he felt the stress and worry

00:57:55 --> 00:58:06

so many times that the companions observed that and mentioned that as a habit of his. And that's more powerful than if and the bizarre seldom was to narrate that. Like what

00:58:08 --> 00:58:39

for in prayer, there is therapy. One I know of a Saudi chef that passed away now, Allah He used to treat the people this suit. While law he used to treat people the suit. Whenever a person used to come to him and complain about his worries and depression and sadness. Chef would say to him pray and sit in suit for half an hour. Stay in suit for half an hour, don't come up. That's your solution to suit what they get along or cry out to Allah surgeon.

00:58:41 --> 00:58:59

And he'd go and he'd do that and it becomes a solution for people as Suzhou is a solution for our anxiety for our depression for our fee for our worry, Lonzo Hill he said in the Quran, Allah Nanaimo and Mecca a week so look, we know that your heart experiences tightness,

And he was given that command of the prayer in the year of sorrow and sadness, after he had lost his beloved uncle of a polyp. And after he had lost his beloved wife, Khadija robiola one and after he had gone to a party, and he was stoned,

01:00:51 --> 01:01:12

he had nothing he was feeling down. When Nevis Allah azza wa jal took him up on a slot with Mirage, and gave him a salad. It was a gift, it was a therapy, to calm his heart, to bring him peace and tranquility and relaxation in his life. That's what a salad was for.

01:01:14 --> 01:01:37

So you cannot look at the sled as a burden or as a difficulty. Now, that's the one who doesn't focus in Israelite will see it as something heavy, and with a believer, for one who has to shore in a sled, and connect with a sled, and he knows this is when he's connecting with a law. And he feels that closeness to a law,

01:01:38 --> 01:01:57

especially in his suit. A sled upon such a person would be light, would be easy, would be the only way out of all difficulties in his life. Yes. For such a person or solid would be the only way out of difficulties of life. That's where you relax.

01:01:59 --> 01:02:41

That's where you're satisfied. That's where your heart is nourished and fulfilled, misled, or awkward. From the very moment of when you say, a law or a court, you know, and you hold your heart, you hold your hand and you hold it here on your chest. You know, as though you're controlling your heart and the emotions that are in there. You grab on to it, which is a law a law is greater, greater than everything that is happening around me, greater than my emotion greater than my feelings, greater than my financial difficulty and my stress greater than anything you can think of in the law at the bottom in cliche.

01:02:42 --> 01:02:59

As an individual Allahu alayhi wa sallam said that it even had them apart a little bit Allah I know, when he explained to him the word laquan. He said to him, Well, well tala mushy and acabado mean Allah. Do you know anything greater than Allah, meaning Allahu Akbar means there is nothing greater than LA.

01:03:01 --> 01:03:25

Aloha high quality. Now, lower quality, it settles the disturbed heart of the believers. During this time in lockdown, avoid sins keep away from since especially that we are still in the secret months. We're still in village jack, we're moving on to how long these are secret months. We're not allowed, especially in these vaults to run ourselves

01:03:26 --> 01:04:10

and to commit sin or to leave out the obligations and so on all these are considered sins. We should keep away from that. During this time it is still far. Making is still far in abundance still for a lot of stuff for Allah stowford Allah Leanna Homer NAS Ella Bella on Ellerbee them, there is no calamity that afflicts a person except because of a sin he committed. Now except my a sin, these calamities we're going through are because of our sins, which laws social will wipe away with these calamities, so long as we behave and we remain patient in the face of these calamities.

01:04:11 --> 01:04:34

So if these calamities only come about because of our sins, and there's mercy that allows origin is giving us an opportunity to wipe away our sins to purify us to elevate our ranks with him. That means we need to start making steel for a store federal law a store for a lot of stuff that will lower to LA and you continuously make a list of all say you do Lister for in the morning and in the afternoon.

01:04:37 --> 01:04:59

A lot of social says the one who does that you'll see this summer Ali comida Allah He'll open up the heavens and he will send them upon you doesn't only mean rain or come down at the bottom. It will come down from the heavens. Then he said you'll see a summer he did not say the water. He said a summer Daniel Baba cat Mina somehow or Mohammad

01:05:00 --> 01:05:11

The mercy and the blessing. And the tranquility in the peace will descend from the heavens Aleykum meet the long run in abundance, it'll just show up on you

01:05:12 --> 01:05:31

with is still fought, it will come I told you unlock and replace it all here is still far with guaranteed replacement if Neela hit Diana, with whatever you've lost. My brothers and sisters in Islam, also what we can do during this lockdown when we're anxious and this is kind of a practical movement you do to yourself Subhanallah and I find this very interesting.

01:05:57 --> 01:05:59

You know, there is something in therapy,

01:06:00 --> 01:06:00

which

01:06:02 --> 01:06:25

is mentioned by psychologists, therapists and so on. Is something known as Jani when someone is really anxious, terrified, afraid and worried. How do you come such a person down? There's something known as self hugging, self hugging, what it means is that someone hugs himself in a time of anxiety,

01:06:26 --> 01:06:35

self hugging, play with this phone, you know, there is essence to it in the whole air and it is mentioned invoke

01:06:36 --> 01:06:46

Allah subhanho wa Taala when he describes the fee of Musa alayhis salaam and the extreme fee that he went through

01:06:48 --> 01:06:53

a lot of social said to him or moon la occasion a hacker may not work

01:06:54 --> 01:06:58

which means hug yourself from the feed that you're in.

01:07:00 --> 01:07:18

What mon la cocina had a hammer home Allah they said Jenna hack, meaning your left hand and your right hand, put your right hand under your left and put your left under your right. And like a kind of boom or boom meaning hug. Embrace yourself

01:07:20 --> 01:07:21

01:07:22 --> 01:07:26

because of this anxiety and this fee that you're experiencing,

01:07:27 --> 01:08:26

will also have been a bear slowly Allah one who he said name in her in bada Moosa Eva woba is the one I saw that he is Ella Hofer, who had been a bear saw their loved one who said, There is no one that comes after Musa alayhis salaam that is afraid of something and puts his hand on his chest, except that Allah removes his fee from him. When we show here by him Allah from among the Salah, he said kulu and fazia for Bama, Janelle Haley elever huband revisar. Wahidullah hammer hola said any person who experiences fi and anxiety for Bama Jenner hi embrace himself in leather band, wolf Azhar except that the fee would go away from him. fee would go away from him.

01:08:28 --> 01:08:56

Even this is a last word. And this is the explanation of the companions. So yes, we do have this idea of self hugging, right? That is mentioned by psychologists. But if we read our plan, we would have found this in our Quran. This is what Musa alayhis salam was commanded to do by Allah. And as a result, Allah removed his worry. Now this is a therapy.

01:08:57 --> 01:09:04

law I cannot read the I read the translation and interpretation if you're shocked that the first time he hears something like this.

01:09:06 --> 01:09:18

Also, what helps to regulate and maintain the anxiety during this lockdown and distress in this lockdown is helping others helping others.

01:09:20 --> 01:09:59

And once again, once again, if you read any you will find in books of psychologists, therapies as well something they call helpers. Hi, there's something known as helpers. Hi. The idea of helpers hi is that when you help others when you help others and you feel like you did someone something for someone else that helped him It relieves your stress and your anxiety and your depression. You feel good about yourself. It's called the helpers. Hi. We don't need to read it from psychology books. We don't have to sit on CRAN Allah Zoysia Lee says in solothurn bacala

livigno Fukuda and well 100 billion Naira sub one while earlier than fellow measured over in dollar beam one hole for Nally him with whom he doesn't own a lot of social discussed in this as mentioned about people who give generously during the day and during the night whether publicly or secretly they look after the people's needs, they give solar power they feed the people, they call the people they do all this. Allah social said their reward would be that there shall be no fee and worry at no fee upon them nor should they worry. And mufa Silverado hammer home Allah they said their whole family him without him he has his own dunya while

01:10:44 --> 01:11:12

they will not fee and they will not worry in this life and in the Hereafter. Now help others call someone that is in extreme distress and anxiety and panic and help him with a word with money, with food with drink with anything, help someone help someone in the intention that Allah removes away this calamity and this burden from your heart and this anxiety and this worry that you're in.

01:11:13 --> 01:11:16

This is very important to do my brothers and sisters in Islam.

01:11:18 --> 01:11:33

Another thing that brings peace and tranquility upon the believer, these are from the Yanni the the medicine of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam that he mentioned is something known as a b

01:11:34 --> 01:11:46

albina. Have you heard of it before? At albena it's been mentioned in the Hadith It is something to consume. It's mentioned in the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam found in Sahaba hardy

01:11:48 --> 01:12:11

shuttled the Allah one here she says that in the vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam said at albena to Muslim Mattoon Li for editing marieb were to the Hebrew be bound in prison. And it is a story here I shall be Allah Juana. She says whenever one of her relatives died, if someone was to die, the woman would assemble.

01:12:14 --> 01:12:22

The only they would get it together as long as you like and they would give condolences, then they would disperse, everyone would go except her relatives and close friends.

01:12:24 --> 01:12:46

And she would order for a pot of delphina to be cooked. There is this thing called albina. And it's cooked. I'll tell you what it is and how it's cooked. She will order for delbene attari. cooked, then a third would be prepared. A third is a popular dish at the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. There is bread in the

01:12:47 --> 01:13:11

bottom of the pan and then there's meat on top of meat and bread. That's what they would eat. Then she would get this albina and she would pour on top of the food. And she would see eat from this food eat from albina for I heard the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say that attell Bina serve as the heart of the patient of the sick

01:13:12 --> 01:13:35

and relieves him from some of his sadness and his worry and his depression. This is a prophetic remedy at albena. What is tilbyder? It's mentioned as a therapy for people that are experiencing bad emotion, depression, anxiety, stress, whatever it is

01:13:36 --> 01:14:11

elvina it comes from the word LeBron LeBron LeBron means yoga, because it'll be near the end result of it. It's a dish that has the same color and consistency and thickness as yogurt. So basically what it is it's barley flour, you know, Barley Barley flour, it's two spoonfuls of barley flour mixed with two cups of milk, and some honey for a sweet taste. And it's cooked over a low fire until it's warm. And then you eat it as it is, or pour it on top of the food and eat it.

01:14:12 --> 01:14:34

And it relaxes the heart or Subhanallah on a journey. I did some research on this Hadeeth to find exactly how is this related to depression. And I found an incredible relationship and that is that albina which is barley is barley flour. It is very high in magnesium, very high in magnesium.

01:14:35 --> 01:14:38

And people that are depressed.

01:14:40 --> 01:14:43

Often often their magnesium levels are low.

01:14:44 --> 01:14:59

So you need a boost in magnesium levels. What albina is a soul study is high in magnesium, and I'm not a doctor, I don't take your information in that regard. And I'm not trying to bring this around. But we're sharing how

01:15:00 --> 01:15:09

of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in light of current medical studies that I find useful and beneficial before me. So, I share this as a point

01:15:10 --> 01:15:17

that if you find that this anxiety and the stress and Miss depression is really increasing in you,

01:15:18 --> 01:15:41

do albina go and cook yourself some tilbyder an eater. And of course, this is only a means we rely upon Allah azza wa jal to give us Shiva. Now and these are some things here and there that I wanted to share with you, my brothers and sisters in Islam. And you know Yanni Finally, I know as well, one thing I wanted to touch upon perhaps now the last five minutes I have with you.

01:15:43 --> 01:15:50

The homeschooling ID children at home. This is not easy. I know. I have three kids.

01:15:52 --> 01:15:54

For myself, two of them

01:15:55 --> 01:16:45

schooling age, and my kids for the last two years, I've been homeschooling them. So I know it is not easy. This is difficult homeschooling children is difficult. But you need to take it easy. And relax, relax. Take it easy. Focus on the children's well being on their health and their mental health, especially on the E man and their relationship with law solution. teach them about a law because this is the most important subject on earth. And it is the most important subject in the heavens. So wherever you go left and right, the most important subject is the subject about Allah to heed the love the oneness of Allah and how to worship Allah and how to have proper faith in Allah.

01:16:45 --> 01:17:04

Focus on that full really focus on homeschooling before you start homeschooling. Sit down with your children, sit down with them, and read of God or Saba, or solder that morning supplication together, doesn't have to be all of them. Because I know all of them are things it's a very long it might take 3040 minutes.

01:17:05 --> 01:17:29

Read one or two, read a little closer at least read our spa Spa halaman kulula. Read along in our becoming an HMI wellhausen read something from a gal Saba Halima said, pick three or four and read them every day with your children, then then get up and pre selected,

01:17:30 --> 01:17:30

pre selected,

01:17:31 --> 01:17:42

not together everyone separately let know sooner or not prayed together, preach, they put your children in front of you tell them no, we're going to pre select the ohana to look at.

01:17:43 --> 01:17:45

And then tell them the benefit that this solid

01:17:46 --> 01:17:54

is a sadhaka that you're giving on behalf of every single Bone and Joint in your body.

01:17:55 --> 01:17:55

Long.

01:17:56 --> 01:18:12

So already, you've started the day fresh and bright. After that, read a page of the all and together, sit in a circle. read a page of all and together, try if you don't know how to read, then listen to a page of the whole and together listen

01:18:14 --> 01:18:26

and listen to the translation. If you don't want to read the translation, put in YouTube translated or an audio enter you will find the Quran is translated and it's recorded as well.

01:18:27 --> 01:18:32

Listen to one page, the whole thing now the process will take 1015 minutes in the morning.

01:18:33 --> 01:18:41

You know, have breakfast together. Relax, talk about now metal law that is on the table in front of you all.

01:18:42 --> 01:19:28

And then after this Bismillah asked Allah azza wa jal that he makes schoolwork easy for them. They open their minds, you know, and start doing schoolwork. One day in the room, one day in the kitchen, tomorrow, outside, in the balcony, in the backyard, move around, move around the house. Don't get it focus in one place because that perhaps could bring boredom, laziness, negative outcomes, move them around, give them places tomorrow, you're going to do your schoolwork in this room. And you in this room, the new in that room and Do you hear a new there? You know, perhaps sit in the car, who sit in the car and do your work. For example, you can do that no problems. Move it around

01:19:29 --> 01:19:42

and be merciful. And be kind and be gentle and be compassionate with one another. Relax. This is a time to bond with your family, with your wife or wife with the husband with your children.

01:19:43 --> 01:19:59

Don't curse each other. Don't swear at each other. What do you get out of that? don't deal harshly with each other in the visa Mullah, who I think he was. He says in the Lucha Rafi, your hip belief where you're happy other 50 men

01:20:00 --> 01:20:29

Your piano loans. And the reason Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said Allah is Allah is kind, and he loves kindness, and He rewards for kindness in a way that he does not reward for harshness. In other words, the Hadith teaches us that when we deal kindly and mercifully with others, you will always see positive results. No matter what's going on, you will always see positive results. And when you deal harshly with each other,

01:20:30 --> 01:20:35

with your wife, wife, with the husband with the children, you'll always see negative results.

01:20:37 --> 01:21:08

It How bad is it? How sad is that? If you deal harshly with your family 100 in Salalah alayhi wa sallam is guaranteeing you you will see negative results. And if you see negative results, what does that do? It creates more depression in you and more anger in you because you fought your harshness. You thought your harshness might change the situation to the better. But it only gets worse, which only then increases in your anger or develop it

01:21:09 --> 01:21:11

into my brothers and sisters in Islam.

01:21:12 --> 01:21:24

If you're serious about living this time, now that you're living in your houses and in lockdown, if you're serious about living peacefully and tranquil

01:21:25 --> 01:21:31

and with peace, then you better you better be kind with each other.

01:21:32 --> 01:21:47

Otherwise, otherwise, if you're going to be harsh, you're going to see negative results. negative results are going to fuel your anger or you will pop you will literally pop where you are and then

01:21:48 --> 01:21:58

what what can save you Allah He if this doesn't save you and this advice he gave you you don't follow it. What are you going to follow? I don't know the choice is up to you deal with what you want.

01:22:00 --> 01:22:02
