COVID-19 – One Year On

from the attributes and the characteristics of the disbelievers as opposed to the believers is that Omar soldier mentioned in the Quran that they are those people who when the signs of Allah come to them, they pass them by and they are heedless. They turn away from them they don't take any benefit from them. Allah azza wa jal says describing the people of the fire in the Quran in the Levine Elia, regionally are Anna wardobe will hire to dunya wattman nombe her indeed those who don't seek or hope in the meeting with their Lord, and they are happy and content with the life of this world. We're living in a home and it Navarre Elune and Allah says, and they are people who are heedless of our

signs turn away from them. Allah wa who now will be McCann we ACCION those are the people that their abode will be the fire because of that which they end. And then Alonzo Jilin, the following verse speaks about the attributes of the believer, and he describes them and he says, In the livina Armin where I'm eurosai Hart, de mabuni. Imagine him as for those who believe in that you do righteous deeds, then Allah guides them in accordance to their Eman. Your Eman is a reason for you to be able to see what other people don't see who haven't been endowed with that same level of he man, your demand should be something when you see a sign from the signs of Allah subhanho wa Taala. in

whichever way shape or form, it should make you stop and take lessons and benefit from them. So keeping that in mind, this week marked a year since COVID-19 became a global pandemic. And within a few days, they will mark one year since this country wanted to his first national lockdown one year since the way that our lives will live has changed, whether they're being social aspects, whether they're being the way that we work in the way that we meet one another, even in the way that we worship, read Ramadan, Hajj, and many of the different forms of worship that we will use to in certain ways and in certain manners has changed, and it is still the same. One year has passed. One

year ago when this pandemic first started, there were a number of people giving advice people telling us what we should think about the lessons that we should learn the benefits that we should derive. And it is from the methodologies of the Quran, that Allah subhanaw taala often used to mention to the companions of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam lessons after incidents had occurred, not necessarily before, the lessons are allowed surgeon mentions for the Battle of battle, the Battle of heart, and many other major incidents of the Sierra were revealed in the Koran after those incidents had occurred. Because you're meant to benefit from that situation. you're meant to

look back and say those are the mistakes that I've made, or I'm continuing to make. And those are the things that I need to change. So with that in mind, I have three things that I want to bring to our attention in this brief time that we have before us today, three lessons that we should have learned, and if we did learn that we should continue to learn and once this pandemic by the permission of Allah azza wa jal comes to an end and life goes back to some type of normality. They should be listened to that we should keep at the forefront of our minds. The first of them is how this pandemic should have taught us to analyze our relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala. I will

level of Eman the tobacco and the trust that we have been our Lord and creator. He should have brought to our mind the power and the ability of Allah subhanho wa Taala He is my gender fear Allah. You should have heightened our sense and our understanding of what it means to have faith in a man in the decree of Allah subhanho wa Taala either. Yeah, you are ness and Tamil Pokhara in Allah or people or mankind You are the ones who are impoverished before Allah subhana wa Tada. You are in need of a large religion, how quickly the world thing changed within

A few days, within sometimes moments, one morning you wake up into one set of rules and by the evening everything has changed. That shows you the power of Allah subhana wa Tada. No amount of technology, no amount of medicine, no amount of anything could have stopped the decree of Allah azza wa jal, Allah shows through the signs, just as he shows through the signs of earthquakes and lunar solar eclipses and many other signs his powers subhana wa tada in Morocco Mullah hula the Holocaust sumati. While all of you sit at a young indeed your Lord Allah is the one who created the heavens and the earth in six days. For must Allah Allah louche and then he ascended above the throne in a

manner which befits His Majesty subhana wa tada Yoshi Leyland Nohara your to lubu high fever. The light the night chases the day, and he chases after it overcoming it

was shumsa Well, Amara one Buju Mimosa herati me Emily and the sun and the moon and the stars are all subjected before Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah Allah halco amo indeed all creation and or power or Command belongs to Allah tabarrok Allah horrible are they mean so blessed it Allah is Allah loadable that exists. On Mars the origin in the following verse even speaks about what the demand should do to in practical terms. Once you've learned that lesson, once you see around you the power of Allah subhana wa tada for the believer that should make the demand guide them to action you deem or boombah Imani. Allah guides them through the he man guides them To what? To a course of action

that is beneficial for them. So Allah says in the following verse, or do Rob back home to dog.

So chant your Lord in Dwyer and supplication, in worship, in humility, and in secret. That is the second principle that we should have learned the second lesson that we should have learned that that knowledge and that greater awareness of Allah subhanaw taala His names, his attributes, his powers, his ability subhana wa tada should have spurred within a some type of action and action to worship Allah to come closer to Allah azza wa jal to make more data to Allah subhana wa tada and to make Toba to Allah subhana wa tada and seek forgiveness for our sins, the horrible facade will feel badly will bow, me Marcus ever ad nurse evil corruption has become rampant upon the earth, and the sea,

the London the sea, because of that which people have earned by their own two hands, you the apothem bearable lady Amira so that alarm may cause them to taste the consequences of just some of their actions landed on your own, so that perhaps they will return to Him in a bus rhodiola. One woman said Mr. Cyr of this verse a little longer to Boone, meaning may they return to Allah in repenting to him. That's what it should bring in the prophets on a long way. He was Selim tell us instruct his companions during this time, though when they see this lunar eclipse the solar eclipse, those are signs from the signs of Allah. So when you see them you should cast fear in your heart. If Allah can

do that, with the creation, that is as big as the sun and the moon, then what on me a new In comparison, that should make you then turn to Allah azza wa jal in worship, into our inshallah, in recitation of Quran in Vicar of Allah subhanaw taala. In reminding yourself of a large religion. That's one lunar eclipse solar eclipse that some people around the world see at one time, you have an earthquake that affects a limited number of people at one time, in one location. This was a pandemic that struck the world, every corner of the world, it reached, people died, people were affected people are still dying and being affected. But what is the benefit that we have learned?

And so a large soldier tells us that our Eman should bring this closer to Allah azza wa jal, but he should lead us to action. And the third point that I wanted to bring to our attention, the third benefit is how these past 12 months should have allowed us to understand the value of Time, time and how precious It is time and how much we take it for granted time and how little of it we have guaranteed for us, large zildjian throughout these 12 months has given us the benefit of time, in the sense that many of us were stuck at home. Even those those of us that were working in some to some extent or in some capacity was still curtailed in our social aspects of life. What do we do

with the time of the last 12 months and the time that we still continue to have? How have we benefited? How will we come closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala what is the excuse that you have when you have nothing to do except to sit in your home, but you still can't find a way that is pleasing to Allah subhana wa Tada, a number of the scholars of Tafseer have mentioned from the principles that alarm those dimensions in the Aurangabad time is how time is always filled. If you don't fill it with God, it is filled with evil. Even doing nothing with your time is still filling your time with something. That concept that we're in the situation where we can be neutral, that our time can

just pass by that it doesn't count, maybe not for us pray doesn't count against us either. is not a concept that you find in the Quran, or that is supported in the Sharia. Your time has always been used in one way or another benefits you harms

Always the time is being used from the methodologies of the Quran, therefore is to make us think about how we spend our time. And that is why when a large audience takes an oath in the Quran, to speak about how lost we are as a species as humans, a lot takes an oath by time while also so that we can understand the value of time these last 12 months should have been an indication of what how precious time is, how much we take it for granted, and how can we use that time wisely. Then even if a large degree comes from whenever it comes, and however it comes, the believer is someone who is ready because they have benefited from that time. barakallahu li walakum florante was certainly one

of our newer jaccob mefi mumbrella to LACMA Apollo. Cody heard I was talking to you welcome What did you mean Muslim Needham equilibrium infrastop Euro in the whole off all right.

Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah. On early he was talking to a woman who Allah seldom at the Sleeman kathira mabank. As we head towards inshallah, to Allah some type of normality in this country as inshallah to Allah, we hope that in the next few months, things will change and things will be eased, and we go back to some sense of normality, to remember the signs that a large student gives you and more importantly, the lessons that you learn from them is something which allows dogen mentions in the Quran, one of the greatest traps of shaitaan is a times of difficulty. Remember that you need a large soldier the lessons that you should learn the benefits that you

should take. But as soon as times of ease and Felicity come upon you, that you become heedless, again. I want to leave you with three verses of the Quran from Surah Al Anam, and I will conclude with them. Allah subhanaw taala says concerning this principle that I just mentioned, what about ourselves, you know, oma may mean public. A lot of soldiers says that, indeed, We sent messengers to those nations that came before you for further now humbled by the raw, and then we paste upon them strife and hardship.

So that perhaps they would learn and seek humility. For Lola in the home but sooner to the round. Allah says and if only they had showed humility, when the time of difficulty came upon them. Well, I can posit colo boom, but rather their hearts became hard, was a yen Allahumma shippon oma can we are Milan and shavonne beautified for them the actions that they use to perform for them man so my look your obey. So when they forgot the lessons and the reminders that Allah has sent down to them, for temporarily him awaba condition, we open for them the gates of everything, meaning that Allah gave them ease and all of the blessings that they could want, but not because they deserved them as a

test from Allah azza wa jal so that they would go further and further in their state of heedlessness, distancing themselves from Allah azza wa jal thinking that they are on this life to enjoy it. For secondarily him a guava condition. Her tell you the 40 aubema Auto until they became happy, and content with a world of this life, after the noun barter, we will snatch them with our punishment for either humbly soon and they will have no hope. There will be no good for them. Allah subhanaw taala warns us against being like those people who when times of difficulty remember Allah has the coloration the mystery can often dead, but in times of ease, we are neglectful of Allah

subhanaw taala and we don't remember him. The believer is the person who's always conscious, mindful of the fragility of their life and the temporary state of their of their existence upon this dunya and how soon they will return to the Lord. We ask Allah so did the remixes from amongst those people who remember and that allows you to mix us from amongst those people who take heed and benefit from those lessons and reminders.
