Adnan Rajeh – Performing Dawah – Outreach #15

			Today's hadith found the collection of ma'am Tell
		

			me the narrators by Jabra ibn Abdulla radiAllahu
		

			anhu where he says that the Prophet Sallallahu
		

			alaihi wa sallam said that a person does
		

			not fully believe until he believes in the
		

			decree of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, the good
		

			and the bad. And until he knows that
		

			whatever has come to him was always going
		

			to come to him and was never going
		

			to miss him. And whatever has missed him
		

			was always going to miss him and was
		

			never was never going to come to him.
		

			Believing in the decree of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		

			Ta'ala is one of the 6 pillars of
		

			iman as we all know. And when Jibreel
		

			alaihi wasalam asked the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam,
		

			So believing in
		

			in the decree of Allah
		

			is one of the 6 pillars of iman,
		

			and that is the meaning of this hadith
		

			that a person does not truly believe until
		

			they believe
		

			in in all 6 in all 6 of
		

			these pillars.
		

			But believing in the part of believing the
		

			decree of Allah
		

			is knowing that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
		

			capable of doing anything that He wants. And
		

			that if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants something
		

			to happen, He will pave the way for
		

			that thing to happen. And that if Allah
		

			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has decreed something, it will
		

			happen regardless of whether or not people want
		

			it to happen. Look at the story of
		

			Musa and Faraun for example.
		

			Faraun,
		

			he saw a dream
		

			and the magicians, the sorcerers, the people that
		

			were with him, they told him that the
		

			meaning of this dream is that the fall
		

			of your kingdom is going to be on
		

			the hands of a child that is born
		

			in Bani Israel.
		

			There's only really 2 options, either it's a
		

			true dream or it's a false dream. And
		

			if it's a false dream, it doesn't affect
		

			you. But if it's a true dream, then
		

			no matter what you do, you won't be
		

			able to change the decree of Allah Subhanahu
		

			wa ta'ala. And that is one of the
		

			points that Faraun was missing. So what so
		

			what did Faraun do? He started killing every
		

			male newborn child that is born in Bani
		

			Israel. Why? Because he was scared
		

			that the child that would be the reason
		

			for the fall of his kingdom would be
		

			born. So that is what Faraun wanted, but
		

			Allah
		

			wanted something different and Allah
		

			had decreed something different. So by the Qadr
		

			of Allah, that child was born and Faraun
		

			raised him. And he spent his money on
		

			him and he lived in his palace. And
		

			then when that child grew up, the fall
		

			of his kingdom was on the hands was
		

			on the hands of that child. And that
		

			child was Musa Alaihi Salam.
		

			So we all want we all want different
		

			things, but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does does
		

			whatever
		

			he wants. And the lesson for us is
		

			what the prophet said
		

			in the hadith that we mentioned in the
		

			beginning,
		

			know that whatever has come to you was
		

			always meant for you and was always going
		

			to come to you, was never going to
		

			miss you. And whatever has missed you was
		

			never meant for you and and was never
		

			going to was never going going to come
		

			to you. And sometimes,
		

			you know, we you you might have a
		

			a goal that you have set out to
		

			achieve or a dream that you want to
		

			accomplish or you have 1 or 2 things
		

			that you are constantly asking Allah subhanahu wa
		

			ta'ala for but it just doesn't
		

			doesn't seem
		

			to becoming
		

			does just doesn't seem to happen. Know that
		

			the situation that you are in is the
		

			best situation for you and that know that
		

			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is capable of giving
		

			you what you want. And know for a
		

			fact that if you had the ability to
		

			choose what was going to happen to you
		

			in the future, if you had the ability
		

			to change the future and choose whatever you
		

			wanted to happen, then you would not choose
		

			except what Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has already
		

			chosen for you. And Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala's
		

			choice for a person is better than that
		

			the person's choice for themselves. And wallahi, Allah
		

			is more merciful to you than you are
		

			to yourselves. And that's why Umar ibn Khattar
		

			used to say,
		

			He
		

			would say, I don't
		

			mind waking up on a situation or waking
		

			up on something that I love or something
		

			that I hate because I don't know which
		

			one of the 2 there because I don't
		

			know in which of these 2 there is
		

			good for me. So these are just some,
		

			some things to keep in mind. I hope
		

			that was a benefit sha'liarwi. And Imam
