00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			The hadith which Ahmed narrates, on the authority of life, healer, even on
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:53
			the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Allah Almighty said, and I'm the one yeah
BDB familia Honda de Ma sha.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:06
			Allah Almighty said, I will be just as my servant thinks I will be an expects of me. So let him
expect of me whatever he wants. La ilaha illAllah.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:21
			Not only is this act of worship, I eat hosts no vanilla thinking highly and positively and when of
Allah. Not only is it something admirable, something that is recommended.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			But we can describe it as being one of the backbones of Eman.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:34
			Really one of the pillars of faith that underpin your relationship with Allah Jalla gelato
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:43
			to think well over him. And Allah Almighty, therefore has promised those who exercise this act of
worship
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:56
			to fill their hands with goodness in this world and in the hereafter. Every time he or she brother
or sister thinks well of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:16
			the more this person can expect a return from Allah, Allah can even the most generous and to not be
let down today before tomorrow before the great before the Day of Judgment, Allahu Akbar, and to
elaborate upon this value, and this example, I want to draw your attention to the case study of a
woman
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:30
			who thought so will of Allah subhanho wa taala. And so he filled her hands with hair with goodness,
reassurance and internalized her story for us to benefit from till the end of time all because of
what
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:44
			all because she expected the best in her Lord La Ilaha illa Allah I hope you see the brothers and
sisters, just how important this topic is before we proceed. Amidst this situation that we are
experiencing today.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			I speak to you of a woman called Hotjar
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:58
			who is the mother of Prophet Ibrahim alayhi salam son Ismail. She had no idea where she was going.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			Her husband
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:21
			And Ibrahim had clearly received an instruction from Allah Almighty. So he took her and there maybe
is married till they reached Mecca, modern day Saudi Arabia at a time when it was barren, completely
desolate, not a human being inside, in sight, and let alone any human resources to make use of.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			And there he placed in her head, a small bag of dates,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:50
			and another small container of water. And this was going to suffice her apparently, under her newly
born child. And then without explaining to her what is going on, he made his way back to a sham,
leaving her in this desert all by herself. Think about this brothers and sisters, we hear it also
often, but put yourself in her shoes.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:22
			She obviously latched on to him and pursued him. She said, Yeah. Ibrahim Aina to Laguna Aina doesn't
help what Rocco Nafi had inwardly led the laser fee. And he said when I shave, but I hit Where are
you going? Leaving us in this valley that has no companionship, and has nothing for us. He continued
walking. You can imagine the pain in the heart of Ibrahim. But he has received an instruction from
Allah Almighty for wisdom he knows. And she pleaded he did not turn back
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:49
			until she finally said to him, law who America be harder. Did Allah Almighty command you to do this?
And he said to at that point, none. Yes. I then she said her phenomenal words, even learning on your
own. In that situation. She said, in that situation, Allah will not forsake us. Allah will not
abandon this.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:26
			And she went back, and she began to drink from the water and eat from the dates. And you know the
story, this is not the time to elaborate upon it. The water finished, the dates run out. Her baby is
requiring milk from his mother, her milk has dried up, what is she going to do? She began to move
from mouth to mouth between the mouths of Safa and Marwa and then Allah Almighty, and then Allah
Almighty would fill her hands with goodness, did we not say that this was the outcome of every male
or female Muslim who thinks well of Allah? They will not be let down every single time.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:42
			How did Allah feel her hands were cleared with goodness, Count with me brothers and sisters, number
one, is it not that Allah subhanho wa Taala would allow the water of zamzam to gush from the very
feet of her child.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:08:14
			Water that when you make dua, your DUA will be answered thereafter, straight away a guarantee from
Allah subhanaw taala. Sooner or later, a blessed water that we still benefit from till this day. Did
we say that Allah will not let her down? Number two, what else did he give her? Is it not that he
said fruits to her and food to her from all corners of the world? Despite her being in the middle of
a barren desert, that would happen and look at Mecca to de la ilaha illAllah? Number three, is it
not that Allah Almighty would place
		
00:08:15 --> 00:09:00
			her love and the love of her son within the huts of some people and so an Arab tribe from the home
tribe of Yemen, they made their way to Hajah and they settled with her and she was so desperate for
this type of companionship because she was by herself. And despite them being stronger than her,
they recognized her right of ownership over the water. Subhan Allah, that's number three. Number
four. Look at how Allah decreed that the karma, the greatest old masajid Masjid Al haram will be
built right next to her Subhan Allah, she said Allah would never forsake us, and he did not forsake
her. Number five, is it not that Allah subhanho wa Taala would make the city that she was living in
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:46
			now the dearest of all cities to Allah on planet Earth. Allah did not forsake her, is it not? This
is number six, is it not dear brothers and sisters that parts of our Hajj have been made to
replicate and to walk in the feet of this marvelous woman as presidents, ministers, Kings warriors,
even prophets educated uneducated, male, female, young, old, they all walk in her footsteps as they
move between Mount Safa and Marwa and your hedge cannot be accepted as a hedge till you do this till
you follow the footsteps of this woman. Why? Because she was a woman. No gender does not empower a
person. It is the Taqwa of Allah and the Great Expectations of Allah subhanho wa taala. She thought
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:53
			well of Allah and therefore the whole of humanity, males and otherwise to walk in her feet, Allahu
Akbar.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			Number seven, and Allah Almighty with eternalized her story in the in the Quran.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			In the Sunnah
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:26
			That's what she said. She said, Even now you will you will not Allah will not forsake us, He will
not abandon us, he won't let us down. Allah said I will be just as certain things for me take that
as a case study that you know in Allah. Now, I want to ask a question here, after introducing the
magnitude of this of this topic that we are addressing, having good and positive expectations of
Allah, despite the circumstances, I asked a question.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:56
			When are the scenarios which a Muslim or where a Muslim is particularly required to think well of
Allah subhanaw taala. There aren't your brother, your sister, certain events that unfold in a
person's life that require from him or from her a special attention to that act of worship that we
are speaking about now. Having good expectations of Allah, I will list just a few of them take note
of them, number one, during times of financial stress.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:40
			And now that a lot of us have been working on zero hour contracts, and others who were literally
hand to mouth and others who are maybe mechanics or others who are taxi drivers or others who find
themselves unable to work now because of the circumstances we are in. This is a time to think very
well of Allah Almighty during times of financial distress, and Elijah, Elijah that who will not let
you down sooner or later, and that is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a
remarkable Hadith, Which Imam will tell me the inner rates on the authority of Abdullah he asked he
said, Man, Nadella to be HIPAA. And Zelda Biller, he and Zelda have been Nursey Lim to set the Falco
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:51
			woman Nasrallah to be HIPAA, for unzila habila He, for you, she could love whoever will be
listening, agile in our agile, he said, whoever is struck with a poverty
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:57
			and then relies upon Allah Almighty for the removal of that property.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			Allah Almighty will bless him sooner or later.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:45
			But whoever is struck with poverty, but then relies upon people for the removal of that Prophet
poverty, it will not be removed. Now you know, you know Allah, please your reliance upon Allah. And
even after this dear brother, dear sister, who those of us who are sending out their CVs, those of
us who feel under qualified, those of us who feel we are struggling on the ladder of career
progression, have good expectations of Allah and He will not let you down despite the circumstances.
The second of them were a Muslim is a heavily emphasized to think well of Allah agenda. duologue,
who is time on challenges in life, generally speaking, we will be not circumcise circumstance. Maybe
		
00:12:45 --> 00:13:23
			it was in the past, maybe we are experiencing it today. Maybe it's something that shall unfold in
the future and it will unfold in the future, whether we like it or not, where you feel that the
challenge is so severe, and the burden is so heavy and the weight is so much on your back. And the
darkness is so unmanageable, and your heart feels so tight, that you realize that that moment that
nobody can alleviate you from this dress, but Allah subhanho wa Taala and that was the purpose of
this dress, to bring you in this direction. Sometimes you see somebody praying in the wrong
direction, you turn him towards the table. And similarly Allah will send that description of a
		
00:13:23 --> 00:14:03
			painful experience in life. Turning you back to Allah Hi Jana Gennaro so that you think well of him
on a highly and that is why Allah subhanaw taala he tells us in the Quran about those three men
Surah Tober chapter nine, who stayed behind, when Allah wanted them to go out and fight with the
prophets, Allah Allahu Allah, He was saying that they stayed behind. And they were in that
circumstance sinful for doing so. But then Allah Almighty would eventually forgive them. Why would
he forgive them? Listen to the ayah that I'm going to recite to you know, and it will mention the
pain that they went through. And in the same breath, it will mention what it was that took them out
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:25
			and save them from their trauma. Listen to the ayah Allah says we're under 30 Latina who LIFO and
Allah has also forgiven the three who were made to stay behind. Had that either Ibaka led him will
or will be Morocco, but till they were so stressed that they felt as if the Earth had constricted
despite its vastness.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:48
			Although God Allah him and also him, and their souls also felt so tight because they were abandoned
and they were forsaken by the Muslims as a punishment. But here comes the rest of the ayah while one
new Allah manager Amin Allah in LA he but they believed they were certain there is no refuge from
Allah except in Allah.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:59
			So metab it humiliate Whoo, so Allah Almighty forgave them so that they may repent. Allahu Akbar,
Allah turned to them so that they may repent
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:13
			In Allahu wa Taala what Rahim Allahu Akbar. Situation number one financial stress situation number
two during times of difficulty in general think well of Allah subhanaw taala. Number three, when you
are oppressed
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:47
			whether this is a business venture that you felt went pear shaped because of the injustice of a
family member or a friend who did you over, whether it is health that you are suffering because of
oppression, whether it is your reputation reputation that has been tarnished, because of the
maligning media machine out there. Any type of oppression you may be experiencing dear sister, who
may be complaining that because of this isolation her husband has become abusing and raising a
bruising fist God forbid.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:16:22
			Or a brother who may feel oppressed by his ex wife who is now preventing him from seeing his
children now that they are separated Vaughn oppression, what is the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam say Allahu Akbar brothers and sisters think well of Allah. He said in the Hadith Bucha
Tarantino writes on the authority of Jose MetroNorth habit, he said it ducky Dalton maloom be very
cautious of the DUA the prayer the supplication of the oppressed. Why he said in a how to manual
Allah man, because that dua is lifted until he goes through the clouds.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:17:04
			what are called Allah azza wa jal why is that you are Jalla Leela and Surah Nikki well oberheiden
Allah Almighty says I swear by my mind, and by my glory, I am going to honor you I will do ah, even
if it is after some time, think word of Allah, even if you feel despair or you feel that you're
going in that direction, think when of Allah subhanho wa Taala he will not let you down sooner or
later you will have your right you are oppressed, Allah is on your side. And that is why in the
other Hadith, the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Dawa to Matthew Mooster Jad our
encounter have had your unfulfilled role for Allah and FC. The doula of the oppressed person is
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:15
			answered, even if he is a rebellious sinner, even if ye the subject of oppression, is a sinner. Why
he said, because his sin affects him.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:33
			Our sins are upon ourselves, but the oppression Allah will honor that Doha and he said, Sal, Allahu
Allah, he was selling them it that the Dawa, tell him of normally what in Canada caviar, for in la
salud Allah hijab, fear the DUA the supplication of the oppressed, even if he is a non believer,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:59
			even if he is a non Muslim, he said because there is no barrier that stands between it and Allah
subhanaw taala This is the third scenario are you taking note dear brother, the sister where you and
I are expected to think so positively and hi and well of Allah dinner gelato. The fourth of those
circumstances when we are expected to think highly of Allah subhanaw taala is during times of dua,
Allahu Akbar.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			Brothers and sisters really in this pandemic that we are experiencing today.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:17
			Dedicate in your late evening, five or 10 minutes worth of solid focused dua away from your phone
away from your family, away from every distraction.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:58
			And when you do so, as you raise your hands to Allah, think well of him, as you remember and realize
that you are now in communication with the King of kings, you are in communication with Aziz the
most mighty the dignity of the sovereign, the owner of night, you are in communication now with the
king of the jinn and the owner of mankind and the Lord of the angels and the creator and manipulator
of life and death. That is Allah subhanaw taala the system that you are now communicating with so
think highly, think positively and think confidently of your Lord.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:16
			And that is why the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said emphasizing this meaning order
Allah want to move in with each other. As he promoted me the unit rates on the authority of Ebihara
era he said, Make dua to Allah Almighty wants you are certain of the answer. You're certain of the
answer.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:59
			And that is why one of the poet's he said describing this meeting he said what you need to add to
Allah deck and then he Arabi Jamelia find Nemo Latos law. He says I make dua Almighty and because of
my good expectations of him, it's as if I can see the answer of dua coming my way. Allahu equisite
as if I can see it coming my way as I am making dua, Masha Allah, Masha Allah, this is now another
scenario or a circumstance where we are expected to think positively of Allah agenda agenda when you
are making dua you are being heard and your delight is being answered, but just don't put a
condition on Allah. Don't put a condition on Allah, how and when and in which type of dua
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:20
			should be answered and how don't do that he knows what is best for you, and what is best for you
another circumstance, when it is recommended for us to think positively of Elijah Ninjago This is
during times of repentance, when we are lowering our heads in shame to Allah Subhanallah
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:41
			apologizing to him for a crime that we have committed, and that is you and that is me. Beware of
feeling that I am somehow exempt from this particular category of people. And if you feel that then
realize you have just discovered the greatest sin in your life that that requires repentance.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:59
			And the moment you shed those tears, and they fall off your cheeks realize that just by virtue of
them being shed out of regret, they are automatically wiping away mountains of worth of crimes that
you and me have committed Allahu Akbar.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:29
			And that is why one of the poet's he said what you need it them the Arivu Andhra who are Allah?
Allah HYAH for your funeral in alumnus was the no data in our in our government fee Ramadan
Rahmatullah he does. He said, I commit sins, knowing very well the severity of my crime. He said,
however, even if people deem my crime to be severe, and it is, but in comparison to the Mercy of
Allah Almighty too small
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:57
			have good thoughts in Allah Jana, Jana, and don't doubt his ability to forgive you that is one of
the most monstrous of sins to them Allah agenda, whose ability and willingness to forgive you How
dare you and I level that accused accusation or the Lord who has called himself Rahman and Rahim and
uncle for the world level? Why did he give himself these names to open up the doors of a hope? And
that in of itself erases sins, and that is why
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:46
			one of our predecessors sadly he said that I saw in my dream Africa booting up after the great
inadequate would deny this worship of Allah he had passed away I said to him, on that lake, What did
Allah Almighty do with you now that you have met him? What did Malik say? He said, I say to in Allah
Hebrew, though no been cathedra Therma ha ha and the hospital funny BRB. He said, I came to Allah
Almighty carrying so many sins, but they were all raised for me because of my good expectations of
Allah Subhana Allah Akbar, Allah, Allah, Allah. And I remember the words of Mohammed even though
Abdullah Howery, who said that I once stood next to I was to lay man of Dharani and I heard him say
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			in his dua to Allah, Oh Allah.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:56
			If you asked me on the day of judgment about my sins, I'm going to ask you about your forgiveness.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:14
			And if you Oh, Allah asked me about my repentance, I'm going to ask you about your generosity. And
even if you choose to throw me into the Hellfire I am going to tell it in inhabitants that that I
love you, you know expectations of blood brothers and sisters
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:21
			you have been to them Allah Almighty said in the Hadith kotse Allahu Akbar hot melting words
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:39
			you have to add them in the camera they're out any water Joe Tony refer to like, cadmium, koala or
barley or son of Adam. As long as you continue making dua to me and repenting to me I will continue
forgiving your sins and I don't mind.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:57
			I don't mind. You have any other novella to do? No Buka Anana Sana, Ethan my stuff for attorney
refer to like one elderly or son of Adam, Allah said, if your sins were to reach as high as the sky
to touch the heavens.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:44
			But then you apologize to me you repent, I will forgive you and I don't mind. You ever know them?
Oh, son of Adam. Now at a Tony Robbins or the hotline through Malachi Danila to Shrek rubbish. To
cabbie corabi Ha mafia or son of Adam, if you come to me on the day of judgment with an earth full
of sins. But you come to me having not associated a partner with me. I will bring you It's like in
forgiveness luck. Apologize, athlete Kareem system. Apologize, my brother, repent to Allah have
great expectations in him and realize that the one who has invited you to, to ask for forgiveness is
the same one who wants to forgive you and that there is no sin greater and more that than the mercy
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:59
			and the forgiveness of Elijah and the gentleman who finally the sixth place where a person is
required to think well of Allah Jalla Jango and that is when this person is passing away when this
person is dying, and that is why most of them the rates on your thoughts.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:42
			yours Jabba the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, three days before he died, he said, I
heard him say these words three days before he passed away. He said La Jolla Mutanda had to come in
now who are you see no thunder Billa none of you should die, except in a state of good expectations
in Allah. Now, you know, in Allah, we say this to ourselves and our families, and those brethren of
ours who may be going through the throes of death. Because of this virus, or its likes, we say to
them, allow yourself to meet Allah Almighty in a state whereby you think well of him, Allah wants
you to think of him during that moment. Brothers and sisters, practically speaking now, how is it
		
00:25:42 --> 00:26:22
			that sometimes we struggle to get this act of worshiping together? It's not easy. I mean, it's so
easy for me now to to stand here or sit here and to speak to you about having good expectations and
Allah and to rely upon you ayat and a hadith, anybody can do that. Nothing special about that. The
special thing is when you and I put it into practice, but the question here we're tackling is Why is
it so hard? Why is it so tough? In other words, what can we do to remind ourselves during times of
weakness, to encourage ourselves to have good expectations and Allah? What should I remember? Take
note of this brothers and sisters number one, remember this, remember the book that is found on top
		
00:26:22 --> 00:27:06
			of the Throne of Allah? Did you know that there is a book there with writing inside Bukhari and
Muslim you write on your authority that you read or that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said, lambda club Allahu culpa, Qatada fie Kitab in for who is the WHO focal Archie in Naramata
libo. Robbie, he said, When Allah Almighty completed creation, he wrote in a book and that book is
with him on top of the throne, and it says, My Mercy overcomes and defeats my anger. Allahu My Mercy
overcomes my anger. That's one thing to remember during times of weakness when you're struggling to
think well of Allah Almighty or myself. A second thing to remember, take note of this, please
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:18
			remember the words of Angel Jibreel. Does anyone know Allah Almighty, in the world of the angels
better than Djibouti? The one who is responsible for revelation I say to you No way. Listen to His
words.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:58
			As if it were telling me the narration the authority of Abdullah him know how best he said when the
Pharaoh was drowning. He uttered words trying to save him testifying his alleged belief in Allah He
said La Ilaha, Illa and La are meant to under who La ilaha illa de Armada to be Hebrew Israelite
one, Amina Muslimeen, I had believed he said that there is none worthy of worship except the Lord
which Bani Israel, the children of Israel were worshipping, and I am from the Muslims. But of
course, Allah rejected this from him because now you come to repent when you're dying and you see in
punishment. But what did Angel Jibreel do? Angel Jibreel said to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:27
			alayhi wa sallam who did not see the events. He's learning it from God. He said to him, Follow what
I'm telling ya Mohammed. Well, I mean Halle Berry, those who who Fifi Maha tanto de rica Rama, he
said, O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, If only you saw me on that day, when the Pharaoh was
drowning in the sea, and I was scooping from the mud of the oceans and thrusting it in his mouth,
fearing that the Mercy of Allah Almighty would encompass.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:59
			Look at the hem of Allah that He knows of. He knows Allah Almighty so well that he knew that it was
possible for Allah's mercy to encompass him. He said, I did not want to hear him become Muslim, I
was afraid because I hate him as well. For what he did. This is something to remember the book on
top of the Throne of Allah, their words of Angel GB. Number three, look at the words of Sofia and
authority, who said, bow our head and now he sat me. Ilan only a Isla Obioma.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:39
			He said, I would never want my accountability on a day of judgment to be placed in the hands of my
mum and dad. He said, Because Allah Almighty is better for me than my mum and dad. Subhan Allah
Allah, does this not just fill your heart with the hope of brothers and sisters? Does it not they
help us think positively positively of Allah, despite the dark circumstances that we may be in the
words of Abdullah he was almost always in the same category here. Number three, who said I swear by
Allah, Allah will forgive people on the day of judgment and issue mercy in a way that no human being
could ever fathom.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:45
			Remember that that's number three, the words of Sophia the words of Abraham. So number four.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:59
			Remember the ordeal of user? I truly believe that in this circumstance of ours? I mean, others that
may unfold, we can never give enough attention to the Sora sort of hope and positivity. Good thing
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			Think of Allah subhanho wa taala. Think about use of
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			what is it not dear brothers and sisters that the
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:22
			use of was, according to the very inmates, he was within the cell. He was according to the best of
them in that rockin middle machine, we see that you are a man of excellence.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:36
			But when the time for eviction came, they were evicted before him. They walked away as free men
before he was still in jail. Does that not seem unfair? It's not unfair. Why? Well look at what
happened to those two men. When they came out of the cell what happened? The first of them became a
servant.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:43
			And then the second one was executed. And Yusuf was in the prison is that not better for him?
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:51
			And then when use of time came to walk out of the cell, what happened? He made his way to the
palace, Allah Almighty Allah Almighty made him the king of Egypt.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:58
			To show you that the will of Allah Almighty is greater than the will of man and above the will of
man.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:20
			think word of Allah subhanaw taala is it not that the brothers of user tried to kill him? So what
happened? Allah Almighty did not want that so he gave him life? Is it not that the brothers of use
have wanted to face any trace of love that their father had for us? But Allah they didn't want that
to happen? So what happened? His love only deepened in the heart of his father.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:42
			Is it not that the his brothers wanted to dishonor use it but Allah didn't want that. So what
happened USE OF HONOR only came higher to show you that the planning of Allah is above the planning
of man and the will of Allah is above the will of man, La ilaha illa Allah think all of him dear
brothers and sisters, these are four things to remember when you and I may be struggling to think
well of Elijah Elijah that No.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			Brothers and sisters
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			let's be honest.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			A person who associates a partner with Allah
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			or denies his existence altogether.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			This person has thought very bad of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			Somebody who
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:25
			believes that happiness can only be sourced in a cup of alcohol, or in a cigarette, or in a shisha
lounge. Or that peace of mind can only come through * or an impermissible relationship.
That person has expected the worst of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:35
			a Muslim sister of ours who believes that her career is going to be undermined because of her hijab.
So her hijab comes off.
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:48
			Or she believes that marriage is going to be delayed because of her correct Islamic hijab. My
sister, if that person is you that you have thought really ill of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:32:50 --> 00:33:09
			a brother of ours who seems to think that money can only be secured via shisha lounge, or via the
sending of alcohol or via the using of interest, regardless of what people may call it today. This
person has fought so badly of Allah subhanho wa taala. Has he limited you?
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:43
			La ilaha illa Allah brothers and sisters, what are our expectations of Allah those who came the
companions of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam God forbid had left the religion
after he died and competed over royalty positions. They have thought the worst of expectations about
Allah gender Jannatul those of us who believe that the status quo of Muslims worldwide as they
suffer in China or elsewhere elsewhere will continue as normal and Allah will not change this
through us or others.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:47
			This person has thought very bad of Allah subhanho wa
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:56
			Taala of undue comparability. What are our expectations of Allah your brothers and sisters think
we're going over him and be positive.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:41
			To remember that the see that Prophet Musa crossed it did not drown him. And remember that the belly
of the whale, which Prophet Yunus was inside it did not consume him. And the fire which Prophet
Ibrahim was launched inside of it did not burn him, and the knife that was passed over the neck of
Prophet is nine it did not injure him. Remember these things? Think well, Allah subhanho wa Taala
funnel of unknown Bureau Bill Alameen Those were the words of Prophet Ibrahim when he said to his
idol worshipping community, what are your expectations of Allah? Is this how lonely you think? What
are your expectations of Allah? Ma? Jun Allahu ACARA. Those were also the words of another prophet,
		
00:34:41 --> 00:35:00
			Prophet nor seem to his people why don't you ascribe to Allah that grand jury he deserves? What are
your thoughts of Allah brothers and sisters think well of him. But realize that I will conclude with
this in a minute now, which is we have to differentiate between personal valuable Let good
expectations of Allah
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:32
			And on the other side, something that seems to resemble it. But it is a world apart, which is a
guru, delusional thinking, wishful thinking, beware of conflating between the two. How do I know the
difference? Ignore him, he mentioned a benchmark. If you are thinking well of Allah, or you just
depending upon false hopes, he says that if your feeling is driving you to become a better Muslim
and to drop habits that are sinful than this is good expectations of Allah, it's pushing you to do
action.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:36:14
			He says, however, if it is causing you to lose encouragement to worship Allah and to find the
shortcuts to get out of the obligations and to justify your sins, and you say, I'm thinking well of
Allah. He says, No, that's not thinking well of Allah, that is a sign that there is delusional
thinking involved. And that is why it hasn't been bustling. He said, In Elmina, as an Amanda be live
action alumna in Nevada, I saw a wonderful lady Salman. He said the true believer thought well of
Allah, and so his actions were just as good. But the sinner thought bad of Allah Almighty and so his
actions became evil as well. We asked Allah subhana wa Medina to forgive our sins. We ask Allah
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:35
			subhanho data to fill our hearts with hope and optimism and positivity and ultimately, personal
Monday we let great and positive expectations of Allah subhanaw taala and to fill our hands with
goodness as he filled the hands of our job. As we mentioned in the beginning of this hotbar was
something Allahu Allah never you know, I'm like, what happened in that?
