wala,
Allah, alayhi wa sallam,
respected on Amaya Karam, elders below, brothers in Islam.
Allah subhanahu wa taala is our Creator, our Sustainer, our
nadisha
and Allah is the Creator of everything that exists. Lahua,
FISA, mawati,
vamahil, samavati. Vamahil ARB ala indalilla, human FIS samavati,
vamanfil Aur, everything in the heavens, everything in the earth,
everything between the heavens and the earth, everything beneath this
earth. Every cell in our bodies, every atom in this universe,
belongs to Allah.
Allah is Khaliq, the Creator. Allah is Malik. Allah is the
Owner.
It is his hakumi, at his Hakimi, at his Samadhi, at his jabariya
that is muhit that encompasses every facet of our creation,
the life in this world that Allah has given us is very, very
minimal, very short, when compared to the reality of the akhirat,
when Allah speaks of this in the Quran in surah, Mulk tabarakal,
Lady be Adi Hill, Mulk wahwali Shay in Kadir al khaya, Leah, Kum
ayukum, aksan, wamala. Amala in one or two expressions, Allah sums
up the reality of this life, the glitter, the glamor, the
attraction, the complicated system, the vast, vast systems of
this world, the nature of the essence, the crux of this entire
issue and affair, people children are being born, according to
statistics of 1990 300,000 children plus minus every day.
Human beings are living in this world, facing challenges, halal
conditions every direction we look around us, somewhere, it's a
pandemic. Somewhere it's earthquake, some way it's
hurricane, somewhere that is looting, somewhere that is strike,
somewhere there is a hardship. People are dying, people are
getting sick. Some are young, some are old. Then when these people
die, what happens to them after that? The entire mature and
essence of the existence of humanity in this world is summed
up in these expressions in Quran, which I have just recited, where
Allah says Tabara di bihadi Hill, Mul blessed is Allah in whose
hands lies all kingdom. Wahu, Allah, Kulish in Kadir, and he has
power over everything. Al ladi, Khala, Kal Mau tawal, khaya. Allah
created life. Allah created death. No one is born of his own choice,
and no one leaves of his own choice. Halatan, conditions in
this world are not in the control of any government, any looting
forces, any system. Hala, conditions in this world are in
the control primary of Allah. Waholi, Sheik Khadi. He has power
over everything. Al ladi, Khala, Kal mau tawal khayya. Allah
created death. Allah created life.
Normally it is life first, then, then death. Person is born, comes
into existence first, then he dies. It interestingly, in this
verse of the Quran Allah says, Allah the Khala Kal Mau tawal,
khaya, Allah created death and then life. Why is the mention of
death supersede? Why does it supersede the mention of life in
this is indication what is Mort related to akirat, the life that
is still to come. Hayat is the life of this world. This world
compared to akirat, is insignificant. That is why Quran
mentions moth first and ladi, Khala Kal, mohta wal, haya and
then the crux, the essence. Liyab, luwakum, ayokum, aksan o Amala.
Allah is testing you. Allah is not in need of any of the systems of
this world, the entire purpose and of the entire purpose, the nature
of the essence of this life is Allah is testing us.
The verse of the Quran, which I recited in the initial khutbah,
wala nabaloo, one Nakum. Wala nabaloo, one Nakum, wow and Lam,
Laam and nun mush, that when it comes together in one expression,
it carries the meaning of Qassam. Allah takes an oath. Wala an abulu
one Nakum, we will test you. Alif lami, ahasivanas, a utaraku, a
yamanah wa hum laif tanone, what is the matter with you people? Do
you think we are going to bless you with iman? We are going to
give you MIKTA Jannah. We are going to give you the key to
Jannah, and you won't be tested. Walaka, fatten na La dee namin,
cobbling him. Falaya, Laman Allahu, Allah says, We tested the
nations of the past, and you also will be tested halat and
conditions. It's a different matter.
It's a different matter, my respected brothers, that many of
us are engaged in trying to make this dunya agenda, we are trying
to make this dunya paradise. We have this
perception, or we have this unrealistic goal, that this world
is an ideal home, an ideal existence. This goes against the
very grain of Quran and Hadith. This goes against the very grain
of the message of bialyhi musallat was salam Allah hasn't sent us in
this world, for this world to become our Jannat
Allah system, Allah, sunnat Allah will test us. We have seen on the
South African platform of scale over the last one or two weeks
Allah give him courage and strength some the very core of the
existence has been rattled.
20, 3040, years of worldly effort wiped out in the space of 48
hours,
every direction, strife, confusion,
what we have to understand is one is the way that we look at things.
One is Allah system taught to us on the tongue of Sayyidina,
Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam.
There is, to a very large extent, a sense of despondency, sense of
hopelessness, a sense of helplessness, a sense of despair,
amongst many of us,
someone to pack up and leave, someone to migrate. Some are
looking around in different direction. What's the solution?
What should I do?
What we have to understand, my respected brothers, is a Muslim
site is not limited.
A Muslim is not short sighted. A person of iman does not look at
the current situation. The person of iman looks at the overall
picture.
Dunya when compared to akirat is nothing.
Dunya when compared to akirat is nothing. Is like taking
sit with the paper, write whatever figure you want, 1 million, you
are worth 10 million, 1000 million, 1 billion, 1 trillion.
Write whatever you want, whatever you want of this. Dunya, then put
a cross sign and in front of you put a zero.
Alladi Khala, Kal Mau tawal, Haya. More is that zero,
whatever you have amassed of this world, the daily challenges,
whatever you have gathered, once more than death, is staring you in
the face. Oh, Allah. By the custom of May Allah, all the material
wealth of this world is zero multiplied by zero. The reality
for a moment is accurate.
The reality for a moment is is Allah pleased with me. The
reality, for a moment, is, did I use this dunya to earn my Akira
dunya when compared to akhira? Look at the manner in the which
the Quran, in which the Quran denigrates this dunya, that
Machar kapar. This is the wing of a mosquito. This is nothing
for us. We see it as everything. What is Quran telling us? What?
Reblahum, matal al hayatid Dunya, kama in anzala, humina Sama,
Fathi, namatul, Abu Asmaa ha sheeman, Ted, rudich, Wakan,
Allah, kulishheim, mukatadira, al malual, Banu Nazi, natul, hayati
dunya wal bakiya to swallow. Says
Alamo, come to know, knowing, understand, what must we know? Ya
Allah, Alamo, animal, Hyatt, dunya, Allah, even wala was in a
what a far from Bena come with a car through Ali wala, Kamath. Ali
Ray, Audible, covid,
Buchawatis Allah says, mankind, you read all hyatted Dunya was In
AHA Noah, feeling him Allah, whom fee Havoc Hassan,
here at
a waina, lo Kanu, ya la Moon elsewhere, Allah, Allahu, Akbar,
verse upon verse in the Quran, time is limited. Allah denigrates
this dunya. This dunya has no value. Mataun, kaliel, Ayam,
maudah, Kasara, bimbitiya,
Yama a upon verse upon verse, don't be deceived. The glitter,
the glamor, the attraction, the goal, the silver, the wealth, the
embellishment of this world is temporary. It is temporary. How
many similar tubes an example Quran gives us. You look at the
lush green field today. That Rose is blooming, that carnation is
blooming, that dandelion is blooming. Beautiful fragrance,
beautiful breeze, lovely fresh fruit, lovely fresh vegetation.
Allah asked you, does it stay like that?
Does not winter come? Does not autumn come? Does not that crop
die dry up? Does not that field that was lively and lush and
beautiful today tomorrow become a dead corpse. Does not that rising
sun set, does not the day turn into night, does not the health
become sickness, does not the youth become old age. How long are
you going to be in denial? How long are you not going to accept
this message Allah, over, and over, so many verses of the Quran
Allah is repeatedly calling out, understand, don't be deceived.
Matauru, this world is a deception. Don't let your heart
become attached to it. Don't let it this become the purpose of your
existence. The hadith of Rasulullah loka Nativ dunya
tamarind, Allah Janaka, to the wing of one mosquito even
malfunction alike dunya
fatana For Suha come abusive that Allah man can a couple of us who
as a result
of hunger. And yet, what does my Nabi master sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, say to them? He says, I don't fear poverty for you, I fear
the time when the wealth of the world will be opened up for my own
men. They, like the nations of the past, you will start fighting over
this. Your life will revolve around this. You will hand
yourself over to this. And as a result of this, you will destroy
your Akira,
madhuniafilakira in LA Mital, Muhammad, Rasulullah, Saadia
wasallah. What does he say? He says, this whole world, compared
to akirat, is like you take your finger, put in the ocean, lift it
up, the droplet of water, not even a droplet of water remains in the
finger. The wetness of the finger is dunya. The entire ocean is
akirat. How much longer are you going to hanker behind the dunya?
A Muslim is not short sighted. Musari salam, Allahu, Akbar. He
addresses Allah in
he says, Ya Allah, why is it people of iman, the Beloved of
Allah, the Chosen of Allah, Muhammad, Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa sallam, our noble, beloved master. He said, when
calamity, when hardship, when difficulty befalls you in this
world, man, you see Bobbi Hill, musiba When musibat and calamities
come as is Allah sunnat fell here. Kur musi Bhatta, hubi, remind
yourself of how I was tested.
What hardship didn't he go through? Father taken away before
he was born. Mother taken away when he was.
Years of age, Grandfather taking away the age of eight, the
greatest of Allah's creation, a nine year old youngster barefoot
does cannot even afford shoes, is shepherding and the mountains of
Makkah,
the greatest of Allah's creation, the most Beloved of Allah, this
world had value. Allah would have showed it upon him. Yet, what is
the reality? Ulida, yatiman, Vaishya, Fakir and wamamata
miskina, born and orphaned, lived the life of a Faqir and passed
away a miskiel. What value does this dunya have?
The question was put that ya rasulallah, who will Allah test
first? Who will Allah test first? Hey, you, Nas Abdullah and who
will be tested the most? So far as this dunya is concerned, he said,
The ambiya, the Beloved of Allah, summaman, fumban, ya rasulallah,
after them. Who will be tested? He said, Asa Yun, the obedient slaves
of Allah.
We have this mindset. Loss of dunya means that you are
disobedient to Allah. No Allah will test his friends first.
In moment, Musa Ali, Salam says to Allah, Ya Allah, why is it that
the believers are going through such hardship, such difficulty?
For you, Jannah, the door to Jannat is open. The door to Jannat
is open. Fayan durailha, Musa, look at Jannat.
Look at Jannat.
Allahu, Akbar, one day is a Jannat.
This is a Israel, the saying of Musa Ali Salam come to the saying
of Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Utah, you atta.
The an army, you atta, the Ashad din Nasi Bala and Minal mumin.
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said there will be one
person in this world. He will have been tested more than anyone else.
Hardship, difficulty, sickness, strife, loss of wealth, loss of
property, you name it, every hardship he went through.
Ashrad nas
ashrad nas Balan, no one was tested like him.
And Allah says, on the day of Jannat, on the day of akirat, this
person will be taken for use Bahu Lahu Phil Jannat is subgrant. He
will be put into Jannat for one millisecond, one millisecond, one
millisecond, he will be put into Jannat.
And what will be the reaction of this person? He will take an oath
on Allah. He will take an oath on Allah. He will take qasam. He will
swear an oath. No one was tested like him. No one lost property, no
sickness, no hardship, like this person, but he was a person of
iman, Muhammad, rasulallah, second in Jannat. And he will swear in
order. I have never experienced any difficulty. I have never
experienced any hardship. Musa Ali, salam, one glance at Jannat,
waist. Wa Jalali, lokana, APTA. Ali, adeniwa, Ridge lane, youth,
Abu Allah, wajih Mundo, yom, Khala, yoga. Wakana, Masih,
ruhada, lamiya, Rabo San Kato. He says, I take qasam on your iSat
and your Jalal. Oh my Allah, if there
is a person in this world who is born without hands, without feet,
he is dragged face down, face on the ground. Dread from the time
the world was created, right up till Kiama and his eventual abode
is this Jannat I take Kasam ya Allah has known no hardship
whatsoever. Such a Jannat, wain nadawan Allah says that is the
goal. Liabilah then Musa is in the katu. What's your allel kafir, Ya
Allah, the disbelievers, your enemies, you have given them free
reign in this world.
Many of them are wealthy. Many of them have the opulence of this
world. They are sitting behind closed chambers the imaginations
Allah have given them. Rome.
One glance the door to jahannam is open. One glance of Jahannam
Allahu Akbar,
come back to the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa
sallam yotta The annami Ali Dunia, minalinal, basal lum says, Anam,
those who understand Arabic, this is Mubarak. This is emphasis upon
an amulah said, No one got so much in this dunya like this person. No
one had wealth like him. No one.
And opulence, comfort, sucker, every wish, every desire,
fulfilled born with the proverbial golden spoon in the mouth. Never
knew sickness, never knew hardship, never knew pain, never
knew loss,
but he didn't have Iman Allah, Islam, says this person,
sabbagatan finna, use babula Who sabbagatan finna? He will be put
for 111
millisecond in Jahannam,
one millisecond.
Koha
deed now fi Amma di Muhammad Dada, verse upon verse Allah describes
this waball of Jahannam,
one millisecond in Jahannam, the best life ever imaginable. One
millisecond in Jahannam, and he will swear an otter. Allah Mara A
to I take custom and alive. Never known ease or comfort. I take
Qasim if you would have wiped away whatever happened in this world.
Musa Ali Salam sees this Manza of jahannam. Why is that? Tikka wa
Jalali, why is datikawa? Jalalik? What was his statement to Vaal
kafir Ya Allah, you have given the Kufa such freedom in this world.
Now, when he sees this, why is that a custom on your is that in
your Jalal, Luka and Allahu, dunya, mundo, ilaki, amisar Ya
Allah, there is one person you showered the dunya. From the time
you created the dunya right till ke Ahmed. You gave him every wish,
every aspiration, every desire, waha and Wakana, Masih, ruhada and
this Jahannam is to be his abode. This Jahannam is to be his abode
by the Qassam of your dignity and your honor, Lamya rahattu, this
person has never experienced any goodness.
Allah will test his beloved
Allah will test his beloved. Quran is teaching us this do. A moment
is not short sighted. A moment sees the overall picture. A moment
sees what lies ahead. Our goal is accurate. Our goal is not diniya
conditions in this world. This is Allah takes Qassam, we will test
you. There will be loss of property, there will be loss of
life, there will be sickness. This dunya is not an ideal home. It's
not a gender. What is the goal? Why is Allah testing you?
Wabashiri, sabiri wabashri. Sabiri wabashri, saabiri, Allah says,
give glad tidings to those who will make Sabah
ambiya were tested, the Beloved of Allah, Allahu, Akbar. We have been
given the nuskha. We have been given the prescription halatan
conditions will come. Look at the expression of Sayyidina, Umar, the
Allahu, taala, Anhu. This is that personality, lokanadi, Nabi Yun
lakhana, Omar. My Nabi said, If there to be a NaVi after me, it
would have been Omar. He says, Whenever halaat and conditions
came, whenever halat and conditions came, whenever Allah
tested me, whenever Allah tested me, I realized three great
bounties Allah gave me in this test,
Allah protect us. Allah rasoo Salaam taught his uncle akti
rudwa, Allah Hill, masala dua, Allah Hill, Afiya, ask Allah for
afiyat. Ask Allah for ease. We are not worthy of being tested. We
don't ask for difficulties, but when they come, we have been given
the paneshya.
We have been given the cure. We have been given the Marham when
musibat and calamities will come, a Muslim does not become afraid. A
Muslim does not become despondent. A Muslim does not lose hope. A
Muslim does not start running helter and Skelter. A Muslim
focuses on Allah. A Muslim focuses on his akhirat, Sayyidina, Umar
the Allahu taranu said, when halat and conditions came, I realized
that in it, Allah has given me three great bounties. First
bounty, first bounty, said, I appreciated that I may have lost
some wealth, or may I have lost some beloved one. I may have lost
some near one, but my Iman and my deen is intact.
The Lost I experiences of dunya, not of Akira.
The Lost experiences of dunya, not of Akira. In fact, in fact, what
is this? Allah said, Maya zalu, Bala bilmomin, well, Momina Allah.
Hadith, he said, when Allah loves someone, Allah brings halaat upon
him in this world,
and when Allah's Mercy has turned away from someone, then Allah
keeps him in afiyat, and he is no difficulty and hardship. Why? Why?
Because he will have to face the return for his sins in afib,
halatan conditions in this world is Allah's cleansing process is
Allah's washing machine. Allah is cleaning us. Maya, salul Bala
bilmomin, well. Mo Mina, rasulallah. And conditions,
calamity, strife, difficulty on a person of iman will keep coming.
Finaf Sigi, wamalihi, wawaladihi, his life will be tested. His
wealth will be tested. His children will be tested, Allah,
wama, alaihi, khatiya, so that when he meets Allah, no sin
remains upon him
for a moment. Allah is cleansing us. Allah is wiping away for our
sins, and comes in Hadith like how the leaves throw from a tree the
sins of a person is that is tested by Allah will be washed away.
He said the first bounty Allah is kept. Whenever I am tested, I
remember three favors of Allah. One is I make sugar to Allah that
Allah has tested my dunya Allah has not tested my Deen, my Iman
and my deen is intact. Second, Niamh of Allah, second, niyama of
Allah I make sugar on is that? La you? Khalid, Allahu, NAFSA, Allah,
My Allah will never test me beyond what I can bear. May Allah will
know it could have been far more severe than this. Arua bin
zuberadi, Allahu taala, lengthy into the time is limited. Aura,
bin zuberadi, Allahu taala, and who is this? This is the son of
Asmaa. This is the son of Zubair. Zubair is one of the Ashara in
mubashra, one of the 10 who are promised Jannat in this world. His
mother is Asmaa, the daughter of Siddique Akbar of Abu Bakar Adi
Allahu. That progeny,
lengthy incident, and cutting it short, he undertakes a journey. In
that journey, he loses his son, the most beloved son of his this
child goes into a stable, is crushed by an animal,
then he develops a sickness in his leg, as a result of which his leg
has to be amputated.
At the time of amputation, the doctors, the physicians at that
time, they said, We have to give you something that will dull your
senses so that you can bear the pain, some hammer, some
intoxicant,
by the custom of May Allah. He said, Khamar will never enter my
body. They said, how are you going to amputate your leg? He said, let
me start my salah. Let me start my salah. This is not fairy tale.
These are realities. He said, whilst I am reading my Salat at my
leg off, I will not feel any pain.
He starts his Salah, the leg is cut off. After the Salah, he looks
at that leg and he says, I take a Qasab and oath on my Allah. Ya
Allah, I make you a witness that this limb of mine has never walked
towards your disobedience
tested. How did they react? It could have been more severe.
Falaq, Alhamdulillah. Wadahiran wabatina, he says, Oh May Allah,
praise you, beginning and ending openly and Ya Allah, openly and
secretly, every Praise belongs to you in Kunta. Afta, why in Kunta?
Talita, oh my Allah today, you took something from me, how much
more you have given me.
Oh, my Allah today, you tested me, how much Afiya you gave me in my
life.
Ate any Quran
tells us, wabashiri, look at the reaction. These were these our
guides. These are our symbols. Aur, Rabin, zuberadi, Allahu,
Taala and who he says, oh my Allah, you gave me four limbs. You
took one away. All praise belongs to you. Oh my Allah, you gave me
seven children. You took one child away. All praise belongs to
you. Omar the Allahu, talani, he said the second thing I focused
on, the second thing I focused on, whenever musiba came that it could
have been far more severe. It is only the kindness of my Allah that
Allah will not put upon me, that which I cannot bear. And he said,
the third thing I focused on
is that Allah gave me an opportunity to earn my arguments.
What reward Allah has kept in this musival, what Allah? What reward
Allah has kept in this test? We don't ask for test. But when he
comes make sabhar, why? Because, what does Allah say? Wabash Sheri
sabiri, wabashshiri saabiri give glad tidings to those who will
make Sabha in namah, your first sabiru, na AJ Abu ghairi fi Saab.
Allah says, Those who will make Sabha, we will give them such
reward. Such reward you won't be able to count the reward.
One lady in a sabar of Tira, Wajir Rabbi Him, those who will make
Sabba for the sake of Allah, those who will make Sabbath for the sake
of Allah, Allah will give them dunya, what Allah, whom I do not
be. Amrina, Lamma sabaru, Allah says, On this Sabbath, we made
them the Imams of this world. And in accurate, in inaccurate, WA
Jaza hum, Bima Saba ru janato wa Hari ra wa Jaza hum, bimah. Saba
ru Jana wa Hari ra Allah says we will give them dunya also. We will
give them Jannat also. We will give them akhirat also. And one
more verse of the Quran
Allah dala says they will get the salaam of Allah, salaam of the
Malaika, salaam of the rules of Jannat, Salam of the hilmans of
Jannat On this Sabbath.
Ulaika, yujizonal, hurfata, Bima sabaru wa yula konafi Ha tahiya,
Salama tahiya, Salama salaam of Allah. Why? Bima sabaru? Because
of the Sabbath that did
take listen my respected brothers. We are weak. We don't ask for
this. The Beloved of Allah, Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa
sallam, at the time, at the time of the demise of His beloved Son,
barely six months of age, Sayyidina, Ibrahim, RadiAllahu,
Taala anhu, look at the master mountain of sacrifice, mountain of
perseverance, the greatest of Allah's creation that the maul
Ayan, watakzun Al Kal the tears are pouring down the cheeks of
Rasulullah sallam. The heart is grieving. He addresses Sayyidina,
Ibrahim, the baby that the lifeless child that is in his
hands. Ya Ibrahim, innala, firatika, lamaun, our heart is
grieving over your loss. In Sani fitrat, to feel the pain to cry.
Nothing wrong with that. Abdrahman bin Abu says, ya rasulallah, you
are crying. He says, this is rahmat which Allah is placed in
heart. Malla yah, the one who does not have rahmat Allah will not
have rahmat in him, but, but test will come. Test will come in. Musi
button fill Ardi, wallafi and fusikum, illafi kita, Avi min,
kabli and nabraha Allah says, within yourself and on the side,
within yourself and your dunya, musibat and calamity will come. It
has already been decreed you cannot change the system of Allah
in the dalika Allah, he has seen this is easy for Allah. The
question is not the test. The question is, what happens after
that? What is the reaction? Do we abandon Allah? Do we run away from
Allah? Do we say things we're not supposed to say? Now is the time
to get closer to Allah. Now is the time to introspect. Now is the
time for Toba. Now is the time to reflect. Now is the time to
realize that the clock of life is ticking. How much reliance we had.
Armies were going to protect us. Police was going to protect us.
Government was going to protect us. Walla, all these things can
only protect you if the protection of Allah is there, if Allah's
protection is not there, not no system this world will protect
you. Our gaze has to be in Allah. Our focus has to be in Allah. And
more importantly, this test has to take us closer to Allah, bring us
back to the masjid. Get cause us to wake up for tahajjud. Cause us
to turn to Allah. Cause us to beg from Allah, because halat and
conditions are in Allah's hand.
If we have gone closer to Allah, we have succeeded. The eyes are
grieved. The eyes are tearing. The heart is grieving. But la Na,
our Master salah, gives us the guidance. He says, I will not
utter anything except that which pleases my Allah, my
respective brothers. Over the last few days, we have met
brothers that have been tested Subhanallah, the overriding the
action across the board, Allah give them Josiah, each one, one
person we met the other day, Walla, in the space of four or
five sentences, this person lost millions. But Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. Praise be to Allah. Praise be to
Allah. Praise be to Allah.
What is happening? Akhiradi is being earn.
Akhiradi is being earned. Sabriel, look at the Salafi. Sahib, in
multitudes of incidents, I will terminate on one time has run out.
Umm, sulaym RadiAllahu, taala,
anha Umi, Salam alai, Allah, um, what better example our mother?
Our Mother, Mother of the Believers. Mother of the
Believers, was ALLAH, says, the wives of the prophets. There are
no women like them. There are no women. They have been elevated,
the wives of Rasulullah.
She says, I was married to Abu Salama Abu Salama Adi Allahu. One
day he comes home, he says, I have heard something from Rasulullah
sallallahu, some surreal to be He, my heart is full of joy from what
I heard. She says, What did you hear from our master? The.
Was the Talim this. This was the system of Sahaba, what they heard
in the masjid. They will bring it home. This is why elders are
saying, establish the halakah of Tali in your homes. Bring kala
kala Rasul in your home. Take that filth out of our homes, that
internet and the TV and that trash that we have brought into home.
Our little children are being nurtured and brought up on YouTube
and these instruments and gadgets we are destroying the Iman. Where
is the Imani muzakara? Where is the talks of Allah? He says, I
heard in a masjid today something sure to be displeased me. My, you
see my you see akada Minal Muslim. Did,
what did our master say? He says, Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
that when anyone of my ummat will be tested, any one of my ummat
will experience any loss, and at the time of that loss, at the time
of the loss will say innalilahi wa ina ahi Raja, verily, I belong to
Allah, and I will have to return back to Allah. It is Allah when he
gave it to me. It is Allah's when he takes it from me. In nali,
lahima, Muslimah, whatever we have from this world, is for a set
time. Allah has given it. Allah will take it at its time,
anyone who is tested, Ma, you see bu ahadam, Minal Muslim. And at
the
time of being tested, he says, in nalila, you are in Ali Raju. And
he recites this dua, Allahumma, ajir NiFi, musi butI, Oh Allah,
outwardly, it looks like a musibati. Allah, you reward me in
it. Ya Allah, you reward me in this loss. I didn't leave him.
Musibati and ya Allah for your your treasures are limitless. I am
weak. Wakul, if waqli, khayram, binha, Ya Allah, replace it with
something better for me. Ya Allah, replace it with something better
for me. Illah for ilabhi, my master, Salah said, Allah will
fulfill this dua
me. Sanwaladi Allah says for Hafiz, to who I learned this, I
took it to heart, and then Allah tested me. What test Abu Salma,
her husband passes away.
Allah takes her husband away. Look at the reaction of this widow, the
words of Rasulullah immediately in nali. Allah, He waina, Allah, AJ
NiFi, Musa ibati, Allah, reward me in this test and give me better
than this. And then she says, I started thinking. I started
thinking, I've asked Allah for better than this, better than Abu
Salama. Who's going to be better than Abu Salama? Such a husband,
