when we look and analyze

The stories that alleged religion has given to us in the Quran. And also those stories that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam mentioned within his authentic Sunnah. Whether those are how to deepen the summoner those stories are explanations of what is mentioned in the Quran. Or there are stories that the Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself, without references from the Quran. We find that there are many, many benefits and wisdoms from those stories, the Quran and the Sunnah. Both of those stories hold many benefits. But from amongst those greatest of benefits is the benefit of perspective. The Quran and the Sunnah. When we look at those stories, and what those past

nations and peoples and prophets been through, it puts our own situation and our own era in perspective, we are going through a time of trial, we see the situation of Muslims across the world in places like Aleppo in Syria and Burma and other places across the world. And then we look at our situation and the rise of Islamophobia and anti muslim sentiment across the western world. We're going through a time of trial. But when we look at our trial, and even though those trials are difficult, and they may be severe upon us, but when you analyze and you compare them to the stories of the banana what the Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in his Sunnah, it gives you a

sense of perspective, despite how difficult times may be, despite how difficult our situation may appear to be. There were many nations who came before us and there were many people who came before us. Even the companions are the love language Marine, and the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that they went through many trials, and he suffered oppression and persecution for greater than any are most of us all of us have ever seen or tasted. So the Quran and the sooner gives you perspective, that something which the companions themselves learnt, because when they were going through the closet they were going through, and we all know of the situation of the companions,

especially in the early days of Islam, the way that Beloved, your loved one was oppressed, the way that you're certain sumiya will count the way that even our own profits on a low hourly or cillum would be harmed almost on a daily basis, either physically or verbally or psychologically, how the Muslims are a time in Mecca, or boycotted financially and they weren't able to buy or sell or trade or do commerce. Muslims went through many things. But in the Hadith in Sahih al Bukhari when some of those early Muslims came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as is in the hadith of Habib urato de Allah one. They came complaining to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam of this

situation, because for them, it was severe and it was difficult. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was leaning in the shade of the Kaaba, and the king Tim and he said, O Messenger of Allah, you see what we're going through? The difficulty, the oppression, the persecution, the torture, you know, what we're going through? A lot of stones Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta. So why don't you make dua for us? Why don't you ask Allah to give us his aid and his help? The Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam who was kneeling on the Kaaba, he sat up, and his face became web and he spoke to those companions and he put their issues in perspective gave them perspective. He said to them, just kind

of human can publikum your fulfill all the for you junglefy Rajan for you, Joe, Bill, min char for you, de la si, for you shock COVID-19. What am I so do that he can do? He said to those companions, that before you from those people who came before you, a man would be bought, and a home would be done in the earth, and he would be placed in that hole. And then a soul will be placed on the top of his head, and he will be sewn in half. But that wouldn't make him returned from his religion. And a man would be bought and he would be placed in that hole. And then they would bring a comb of iron of metal, and they would come off his meat in the coma of his flesh, and his blood from his bones and

from his limbs. But that wouldn't turn him away from his religion. Well, I can not come home and start genome for you or people who are hasty. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam took the affairs of the Muslims of his time, and he gave them perspective. Gave them perspective. Yes, you're going through difficult times, but there are people who came before you that went through harsh and more difficult times, but they remain patient, and they stuck to their religion. And they continue to worship Allah subhana wa Tada. And they had certainty in the promise of a large religion. So likewise, for us, it is important that we remind ourselves from time to time using those things,

stories of the origin, those same stories that our Prophet told us a lot while he was in them, and the return to us of the situation of those people who came before us. So we can put our own situation perspective, not only the issue of perspective, but also then how to overcome those trials. Something that you find that

goes across runs through all of those stories in the Quran and the Sunnah is that the path to success is when you stand up for what you believe in, you stick to your ideals and to your principles, that is the measure of true success. galarza which will measure our success through our wealth, more through power, not through leadership of fame, Allah subhanaw taala does a look at numbers of quantity. But what Eliza was looks for is piety and action, a person's Eman and how strongly they remain steadfast upon their religion. So Allah subhana wa Taala. in those early Mexican days, he revealed to the Muslims, a story that we're all familiar with in a sort of that

we're all familiar with, similar to Beirut. And he mentioned they're in a story of a group of people who went through persecution and torture, for the beliefs that they stood up in the beliefs that they have, and the principles that they stood for. But they remain firm and steadfast upon them. Alonso agenda when he speaks about the story in the Quran, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and is one of the stories of the Quran that he explained in detail a lot of references in the Quran. But it's details as mentioned in the sermon of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam allarakha, which at the beginning of the Surah Surah to boo Rouge, to show us the importance of the

surah. And to show us the important importance of the story that will be mentioned there in a lot takes a number of oaths, Alonzo whittle says was sent out either to

the heavens or law takes an oath by the heavens and the stars and amazing stars that it contains, to show you that it is something that Allah is not going to address that is also great. It is important. It's important for us to pay attention to what's similar either till borage will yo mill Mill Road, and a lot takes an oath by the Day of Judgment. We're sure he didn't wash food, and a lot takes an oath by that which by the witness and that which will be witnessed, the scholars have seen the different over this, what is the witnessed, what is the witness, and what will be witnessed. Some of them said that the witness is our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he will be a

witness over his own. Another said that it refers to Allah subhanho wa Taala himself, and that the creation alone will be a witness over his creation. Others said that it is the Friday prayer This is Yeoman Juma, this prayer, that is the witness and whoever attends and plays the celestial Juma the Salah will be a witness for them. Other scholars said combining bringing all of those different opinions together, all of which have a basis in the Quran. They said that it refers to every witness that will bear witness over something else. A lot takes an oath by them, because every time a trial comes across or trial peaks pace, we come across a trial, they will be witnesses, and they will be

people who will be witnessed upon. So alarmed so we'll take this oath, three oaths, the heavens, the day of judgment, the witness and the witnesses. And then Allah Subhana hota Allah says cookieless hibu dude, the people of the trench were massacred. They were killed. And nadie that in were called by fire that was used burned by fune is Houma. La Haku was the people who burnt them were watching and they were sitting nearby. Well, whom Allah Maja Luna mini Misha hood, and those people were witnesses as to the punishment that they doubt upon those people. The story that Alonso was just referring to as mentioned in detail in Sahih. Muslim in the hadith of Sahiba Rumi rhodiola, one that

weightless companion, one of the earliest people to accept Islam. He said that the Prophet Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and explanation of the story that became known as a story of the people of the ditch, or the people of the trench, that they used to be a king go live before us again. And he had a source of the sorcerer would use his magic to help the king and to keep his food upon his kingdom. But when the sorcery became old, became old and frail, he said to the king, why don't you find for me a young boy, that I can teach my trade to, that he can learn from you and he can help you after my death. So the king sought for him a boy that was intelligent and smart, and he gave him

to the sorcerer, but the boy every morning as he would work from home, and he would go to the palace, to learn from the sorcerer, he would pass by

a scholar, a monk, someone who believed in a lion, he feared him, this monk would speak and he would address the people. So when the boy would walk across him past him, he would hear his words and he would be amazed and he would sit and he would learn, but that would result him in being late for his lessons. So when he would come to the sorcerer, the sorcerer would beat him because of his lateness. So he went to the RA hip to the monk one day and he complained, I like you say and I love to listen and benefit from you. Love to learn from your knowledge, but when I go to the sorcerer, he beats me. So that the the, the monk, the scholars

said to him, that if you go to the saucer and you're late, say to them that my family delayed me. And if you go to your family and you're late on the way back because you're sitting with me, say to them that the sorcerer delayed me. So he would go and he would learn from him, and he would seek knowledge. And that is the first way that you overcome trial in times of trial. You learn your religion, you come closer to Allah, you learn what Allah wants you to do in your religion, you learn to worship Allah in the way that Allah has legislated. So the boy will do this every morning and evening, you will sit and he would learn. Until one day as he was walking towards the monk, he was

going on towards his lesson and he was going towards the monk, he found that the people had all gathered in the place and they had stopped on the road. Because there was an animal a predator on the way that are blocked them in some narrations that has said that it was a lion. So when the boy saw this, he said to himself today, I will know which one of the two is more beloved to Allah, the scholar who teaches people to worship Allah to turn to Allah, or the sorcerer who teaches magic and sorcery. So he picked up a stone and he said, Oh Allah, if the Pharaoh of the scholar is more beloved to you, and he started with the scholar, because his heart was leaning towards him anyway,

if the fail of the scholar is more beloved to our law, over the affair of the sorcerer, the news is stone to remove this hump. And then he threw the stone, the animal died and the people passed, the boy who went to the source to the to the scholar and he told him what happened. The scholar said to him, today, you are better than me, you have surpassed me. And because of this, you will be trying, when you come closer to Allah, when you turn to Allah, when you hold on to the original of Allah, what happens, you will be tried. But when you are tried, and the time comes upon you, then don't tell the people about me. Don't tell them who taught you. So the boy went on his way. And by the

permission of Allah, he began to cure the left hand, the blind, and the people would come with their elements and their sicknesses and he would kill them by the permission of Allah calling to Allah, making the right to Allah subhana wa Taala alone,

using the skills that he had the knowledge that he learned to do good and to benefit the people, not looking for harm. Now looking for fitna or trial, we're looking to cause trouble, but to benefit the people. So one of the posts, advisors of the king was blind. He heard of this boy and what he did, so he took to him wealth and gifts. And he said to him, that if you call me, I will give you one of the swath. I will give you one of these gifts, the boy and according to himself, according to Allah said, I don't, quote kill anyone. I don't kill anyone. It is Allah who kills. So if you believe in Allah, and we make dua to Allah, that Allah will kill you. So the man believed in Allah, and the boy

made while for him, and he received his eyesight back. The next day as that man was sitting with the king, the king saw that the man could see, he said to him, what happened? Who killed you? The man replied, My Lord. The king said to him, do you have a load other than me? Do you have a load other than me? The man replied, My Lord, and your Lord is Allah alone. So he took the man, the king took the man and he began to punish until he told him about the boy. So the boy was bought. And he said, the king said to the boy, the king knows the boy. This is the apprentice who's going to become the sorcerer, your knowledge that you've learned, your trade that you've learned, has given you much

power, to the extent that you can kill the blind. The boy said, I don't kill anyone. It is a law who kills. So the king took Him and He punished him until he told him about the scholar, the monk. So he bought the monk the king and he said to him, either you turn away from your religion, what I will tell you, the man refused, standing firm upon his religion upon his principles, in his belief in Allah subhana wa Taala. So he ordered the hole be dug and he please be placed within it and be sewn in half, just as the Prophet told us and allowed to sell them. In the Hadith that I mentioned in the beginning, the hadith of hubbub, rhodiola. One killed in this manner, the confident advisor of the

king was bought in the same thing turned away, we will be killing, you refused, sawn in half, but the boy was bought and because he's the one who's teaching, he's the one who's calling, he's the one who by the permission of a large religion is curing the king set us for this one, then take him to the highest mountain, and if he doesn't turn away from his religion, throw him off the mountain. So the soldiers took him to the highest peak of the mountain, this boy and he's the boy the wedding of the Hadeeth is Ola boy, this boy goes pretty has his belief in a large village in certainty and Allah subhanho wa Taala he reaches the top of the mountain, and he says, Oh Allah save me from these

people. So the mountain trembles and those soldiers fall off the mountain they die and the boy survives. He walks off the mountain and he comes back and stands in front of the

King. King says what happened the boy says Allah saved me. Allah saved me. So he bought some of the soldiers, the king and he said to them, take him in a boat in the middle of the ocean and drown him, doesn't turn away from his religion drown him. So they took him to the middle of the ocean. And he said, made the same drought over last season. So the boat capsized and everyone round except the boy, the boy came back to the kingdom. The king said, What happened? The boy said, Allah saved me. Allah saved me. So the king said, How can I kill you? The boy replied, You can't kill me unless you do. As I say that you take my buddy and he string me up to a tree. And then you take an arrow for my

quiver, you attach it to my boy, and you say Bismillah In the Name of Allah, the Lord of the boy, and then you should, that's how I will die. So the king gathered the people. He did as the boy asked, he said, In the Name of Allah, the Lord of the boy, and he killed him, told him by the permission of Allah, when the people saw this, all of them said, we believe in the Lord of the boy, we believe in Allah. So, all of those people believed in Allah subhanho wa Taala. So the king became upset and he became afraid. So you order the trenches be dug trenches, across the whole city be dug and filled with fire. And if those people don't leave in the religion, they be thrown in the fire

and killed. So all of them were killed. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam concluding this hadith that from amongst those people was a woman who was holding a baby, a baby and when she came towards the fire, she became hesitant, fearing for her life in the life of her baby, but the baby Allah gave him permission to speak. And the baby said, Oh, my mother, be patient, for your upon the truth, and they found within the fire. And those are the people that those people that were thrown in the fire and burnt alive because of their belief in a larger region. Those are the people that allow refers to in the Quran, as hell belong to the people of the trench, who because of their

belief in a large soldier, simply wanting to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala they were punished and tried in this most difficult way. A large soldier says wama Naka, Moomin home Illa Allah, Allah, Aziz Hamid, those people were not punished or harmed, except because they believed in a large religion alone. That's the only reason that they were harmed, but they stayed steadfast upon their religion. And that is the way that you overcome trials. So when Allah subhanaw taala concludes the story and similar to the barrage, and a lot of siljan speaks about those people. He describes them in a unique way. Allah says in the levena armano, while I'm in Saudi hottie, Luciana to integer

demon Dotty Helen, how radical fosun kebele indeed those who believed and they did righteous deeds, for them, they will be Gardens under which rivers flow, that is the greatest victory. The scholars have said that usually in the Quran, Allah subhana wa Taala. When he speaks about the belief, the believers, they are victorious in this life, they are not wiped out and killed all of them. They are victorious, and Allah describes them as victorious. But this is the only time in the Koran when this nation was wiped out. All of them were killed, but Allah still described them as being victorious. We show through the Quran that one of the greatest principles in overcoming trials is when you stand

to your religion, when you stand up for your beliefs, and you stick to your principles, because true victory and success is not the victory and success of the dunya whether you have leadership or whether you have fame or whether you have power, or wealth, that is not the measure of success in our religion, but the measure of success and victory in this religion is when a large religion is pleased with you. When the loss of power no Tyler rewards you. When you're given gentlemen, you're given paradise that is the way that Allah chooses success and that Allah show success. So Allah subhana wa tada describes this in the Quran, those people who stand up for their beliefs, those

people who remain steadfast upon their religion, meaning what? Meaning they follow the teachings of the Quran, and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they don't let their emotions overcome them. There are people who just because the Muslims are having a hard time will do harm and commit haram and cause havoc and destruction because they think that it's a path to God, no, they will stick to the teachings of the Quran, and the son of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they will stand up for their religion in the way that Allah subhanaw taala has allowed them to do so. And thus they will have success. So the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

from those early days of Islam, when they were being persecuted and they will being tortured, and they would often come out of their houses and they would see that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is being tortured and persecuted himself, but none of them has the strength or the ability to defend

Him, none of them can stand and come to his aid because of how weak they are. To the extent that we know that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam one day as he was praying and he went into such the, into prostration in his Salah, praying by the Kaaba, they came, the courage came with the entrails of camels, the insights of the camels, and they placed it upon him. And so heavy was it, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wasn't able to come out of such the current setup from the search the position, and to live in Miss rhodiola and said, no one on that day, was able to come to the aid of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam everyone was feel for their own situation,

until his daughter, Fatima rhodiola. And her she came in, she was the one who pushed off those intros from the back of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, everyone was afraid. But the Muslims learned from those experiences. They learned from the stories that Allah gave to them in the Quran. They had perspective, that yes, we're going through difficult times. But Allah give trials to people who came before us that were much more severe. Yet those people remain steadfast. They continue to worship Allah, they learnt about their religion, they continue to please Allah, they did good for their communities, and the larger region ultimately gave them success, not the success that

we may have within our minds and the way that we think of success, but the success that matters, the success of the next life of the euro, so the companions learn to the benefited from this. So they would go from trial to trial, from one challenge to the next challenge. If you were to analyze those 23 years of prophethood that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam lived as a messenger of Allah, you will find that it's trial after trial, challenge after challenge. Rarely Is there a period of time when the Muslim just sat back and relaxed and nothing took place. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has personal trials, his children die, his wife dies, Khadija rhodiola and her people who

are close to him, his companions are being killed, the Muslims are being persecuted and the oma is going through trials, companions as families as individuals are going through trials that pertain to themselves and their families. But they learn from these principles that Allah gave to them in the Quran. They didn't become people who lost hope in Allah subhanho wa Taala, who thought that there is no hope in the promise of a large religion, but through their knowledge, and through their rabada through the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala. They continued to become stronger and stronger, until a large soldier gave them the victory that they desired. How the supernatural because the

phone was Saddam Hussein, what did you learn

from the dilla salatu salam ala rasulillah while he was talking to a woman who Allah wa seldom at the Sleeman kathira about, our Prophet told us a little louder, you will sell them in the Hadith that is sold on the day of judgment that a prophet will come and you will only have three followers and a prophet of Allah will come and you will only have two followers. The Prophet of Allah will come on your will to Yama with only a single follower and a prophet of Allah will come on that day and no one will have followed him. Even though the Prophet of Allah only has three or two or single follower, for some prophets of Allah will have no one that accepted their message, no one who

followed them, no one who believed in them, they are still called the prophets of Allah. And in the sight of Allah, they are still prophets of Allah, and their status a mama in this religion, there's still the status and honor of the prophets of Allah subhanho wa Taala, a larger which will measure success, the way that we measure success. Our religion doesn't teach us to look at and to realism. And those things that we can count and quantify as means of success, or the loss of panel data tells us that success is through taqwa through your belief in Allah, your piety of Allah, and then what that belief and piety leads you to do in terms of action, how you follow the Quran and how you

follow the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that will be your measure of success. So just as the boy did in the story of the people of the trench, he learned his religion, he can closer to Allah through worship, he used his knowledge to benefit the people. That is what Allah subhanaw taala wants. And if that is your way, then when trials come upon you, they won't affect you. So the scholars of the past you see that whoever has a strong foundation of Eman and righteous deeds, even the strongest of winds can blow them away. But if a person has just the appearance of a Muslim, they look like a Muslim. They talk like a Muslim, but within them they don't have that solid

foundation of Eman and have Taqwa. They don't worship Allah. They don't know what it means to follow the Quran and the Sunnah, then even the slightest breeze will not

aside, because there's nothing within you, that will keep you steadfast, the companions learnt their religion, and they made their heart strong, they fortify their connection with Allah subhanho wa Taala. And then Allah gave them challenge upon challenge during the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and after his death, and they were able to overcome each and every single one of those, and those scholars who follow them in their footsteps, were able to do likewise. So for me, and for you, and for our children, especially, the thing that we need to focus on, is strengthening our relationship with the loss of Hannah Montana, when you have that strong relationship with the

large soldier than a law safeguards you from every harm and every trial, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told the companions about the trial of the junk that he himself described as the single greatest trial that will affect mankind from the time of Adam and Eve Salaam, until the day of judgment. He told him about the journal and everything that took place. The companions are the Allahu anhu much more in understanding the principle that I just mentioned, the question that they asked the Prophet son alone, while he was setting them was a messenger of Allah. How should we play on those days? How do we offer Salah because the Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the

length of some of those days will be the equivalent of years. How do we offer Salah in those days? Man, how do we fight the job? How do we overcome the the joy? How do we know how do we offer salah and those days because they understood that if they have that strong relationship with Allah, the man is strongly worship Allah, not even that the child can harm them by the permission of Allah subhanaw taala whereas they can have every other type of knowledge. But if their connection with Allah is fragile, it's weak, it's feeble, then even the smallest trial will knock them away. So my dear brothers and sisters in Islam the lesson from this hookman the message from today's hookbait is

that we need to learn our religion. And we need to work on our Eman and our relationship with Allah subhana wa Tada. And as we bring up our children and teach them what it means to be Muslim, we must also focus on this these aspects for them, because perhaps the trials that they face will be greater than the trials that we are facing, as a large religion that it keeps us safe us and our families from every trial. And that alarm soldier mixes for most people that he keeps steadfast upon his religion, that Allah gives us an understanding of the Quran and the pseudonym and allows us to put it into practice and implemented and be from amongst those people who show wisdom when they call

others to the religion of Islam. So cannot be called amasi phone masala monado serene hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen
