My beloved brothers and sisters,
I know many of you are probably expecting
a lecture.
However, I've become very very tired
of giving lectures.
And the reason for that is
lectures
are like paracetamol.
I think everybody here knows what paracetamol is.
Right?
What does paracetamol do to an individual when
he's feeling sick?
They call it a quick fix, Sahir.
However, if you have underlining issues, and correct
me if I'm wrong, doctor,
I'm overstepping in outside of my field now
into yours.
What it does is it just covers some
of the underlying issues that you might be
suffering from.
And then what happens after that?
Every now and again, you might get these
similar pains.
You have the paracetamol again, it covers it
up.
A little bit like what happened to myself.
I don't think I completed Ramadan for the
last
maybe 4 years
because of these stomach pains that I was
experiencing.
Okay.
And every time I go to the general
practitioner, the GP,
they would give me these
tablets called Entreprozole or something like that.
So you're familiar with that. Right? Yeah. Yeah.
Memprozole or something like that.
These yellow tablets that removes the pains that
you are experiencing at a time.
There was even a time, subhanAllah, in the
month of Ramadan,
I just passed out.
Right? And I fainted and I started shaking.
They took me to the doctor,
and he just prescribed me the same tablets.
And then alhamdulillahi, it will remove the pains
for the time being.
And life would go back to normal after
a month of Ramadan.
Next Ramadan, the exact same thing.
And then life goes back to normal. And
then the next Ramadan, I
would similarly experience these pains, have these tablets
all the way up until
when I was in Egypt.
I had something
that was not necessarily, I think,
cooked properly,
and it caused my appendix to burst.
And I think a lot of us are
aware of
the,
appendix bursting and what kind of effect it
can have on on an individual.
It's very life threatening.
And I was very very fortunate
to still be alive.
I remember the doctor came running in and
he said,
you're either going to have the operation in
the next couple of hours or I'm going
to have to refer you to another
hospital. As for traveling
back to the UK, this is a no
go.
Why am I mentioning all of this?
These lectures
are like paracetamol.
Right?
It doesn't solve the problem
at hand.
It might boost your iman.
However, we are all in need of
maintaining
that iman and keeping it steady.
Will we all agree with that?
Sahih.
And this is why
after coming to a lot of these lectures,
my beloved brothers and sisters, and I've been
coming to Islam as did
for so many years now doing the lectures.
1 is in dire need
of going through continuous,
consistent
lessons
on a regular basis.
Otherwise, your iman is just going to dip
back down again.
