I

00:00:10 --> 00:00:15

haven't talked to anyone in so long, we will rise to the top.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

They will never breathe.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

We will fail fade into the

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

24th Gen.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

I was right.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

It was only a matter of time.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

Ironically, you could call it last time me being here was the calm before the storm.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

I knew the rain was going to come.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:57

I didn't know it will be this heavy. We even lost this know how that was a university lecturer and a good wage.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:05

He never made it seem like we could have everything. But at the same time, he never gave us the impression that nothing was off limits.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

But that's all changed now.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14

Now it's up to me, and the endless doom that the job market brings with it.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

And I haven't even finished school yet.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:28

I'm trying. I'm trying to create some passive sources of income. I read about them online.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:35

But they never seem to mention that you need a lot of capital and a lot of time to make it happen.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

I don't know what I'm going to do.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

I'm not going to fix it wanting to my diary

00:01:45 --> 00:01:56

right now are being pulled all over the place. By family mean, my mother needs me. My younger siblings need me. I don't know how much more I can take.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:05

I feel the world is closing in on me. I can't sleep. I can't eat. I don't find pleasure in anything anymore.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12

My face is fine. I'm smiling. I'm happy. I'm laughing

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

I have to

00:02:18 --> 00:02:24

if I show any weakness or pain, it will rub off on everybody else. And we'll never be able to move past this.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

But inside.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

Inside however, it's a different story.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

I don't know how long I can keep this up.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

After all,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

I only have so many faces in my pockets.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:51

I feel your pain. Brother Adam. It's not easy keeping up that poker face when you're burning inside.

00:02:52 --> 00:03:09

You want you to do that for long. Especially when you pull the right strings and you press the right buttons at this moment in your life. And I want to share with you one of my personal favorites. When with time it will insha Allah take you to a better place in the quickest time. You know what it is?

00:03:11 --> 00:03:59

Make the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala your fortress that you retreat you every Muslim believe knows how powerful this tool is in combating anxiety and giving you strength when you fear the unknown. ADAM You know that Allah subhanaw taala said to his messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam international Zina Anika Quran and Zillah we were the ones who set down the Quran upon you in stages. Then he said to him what must be really how can we rhombic while our daughter I mean who are female aka photo, so be patient for the decision of your Lord, and do not obey among them a sinner or ungrateful disbeliever and then comes the third verse with charisma of DECA book Ratan was and

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

mentioned the name of your load in the morning the evening

00:04:04 --> 00:04:15

Wamena Layli first jeu de la who was a Beholder in the villa, and during the night for straight to him, and it result him for a long part of the night. Do you see the link? Brother Adam?

00:04:17 --> 00:04:27

Do you see how these verses speak to you? Do you see the connection that Allah the Most High is making between being able to cope patiently

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

and the remembrance of Allah

00:04:31 --> 00:04:52

It's an amazingly the scholars have spoken about it, even though to me and he said that Allah has commanded His Prophet to remember him during the morning and the evening. Because his remembrance is the greatest assistance in bearing the burden of patience. And he was also commanded to show patients by praying at night.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:59

So his night prayer will act as assistance for the tasks that are ahead of him by day

00:05:00 --> 00:05:17

and an ingredient for his strength Subhanallah rewind with me, brother Adam, for just a moment, stepped into the shoes of Prophet Musa alayhis salam for just a moment I want you to imagine with me now the huge worries involved in needing to go to the pharaoh of Egypt to invite him to Islam.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:46

And a man who had attributes of God who to himself and wanted Musa himself dead or alive, for what he saw was murder. A nerve wracking endeavor. But Allah wouldn't send Musa and his brother huddled without weaponry. What was their weaponry? It's the same as what we're speaking about now, bro. I want you to equip yourself with Allah said to them, if you have a cool kbit 120 evictory

00:05:47 --> 00:05:54

Go you and your brother with my signs and do not slack in in my remembrance. That was the weapon.

00:05:56 --> 00:06:03

That was the weapon that they were given to confront. The world's most sinful tyrant the frequent remembrance of Allah

00:06:05 --> 00:06:28

one scholar who I know you've personally been benefiting from shitless Saturday said about this, that for inadequate Allah He died for him female owner I know Jamie I know Ohmori user he knew how to use a fee for hangar. He said this is because the remembrance of Allah provides assistance in every matter, it eases him and lightens their load Wahaca

00:06:30 --> 00:06:46

and one last thing before I love you and leave you I want to gift you with one specific phrase of remembrance taught by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to a very stressed out companion of his. He wants to walk into the mosque and found a man nicknamed Abu mana all by himself.

00:06:47 --> 00:07:02

And the messenger alayhi salatu salam said to him, What makes you sit in the mosque during a time when it's not prayer? And the man who said something that you can relate to Adam, homeowners you met me What do you own jasola

00:07:04 --> 00:07:10

He said Messenger of Allah, it's due to burdens that have entangled me. And that's

00:07:11 --> 00:07:23

and so the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam said to him a fella or Nemo column and either in the context of Allah Azza wa Jalla Hanoch Wakaba hunkydory Enoch, shall I not teach you some words?

00:07:24 --> 00:07:30

Through which if you say them, Allah will remove your values and he will set to your dad's

00:07:31 --> 00:08:10

the man said yes, teach me and so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him to say in every morning and evening these following words memorize them hola hola me I will be coming and help me when hasn't what are all the becoming an IBC well caisson will also be coming in Germany well book would wear out we'll be coming out of it Danny Walker hurry region. Oh Allah I seek refuge in You from grief and sadness. And I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness. And I seek refuge in You from cowardice and stinginess. And I seek refuge in You from being overcome by debt and subdued by men.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:22

abou Myrna, he said that the ultrasonic I did just that for us have Allah who helped me walk over I need Nene, I did just that. So Allah released me from my grief,

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

and he paid off my debt.

00:08:27 --> 00:09:03

You may or may not have endured the pain of losing a parent. But to some extent, we all feel Adams pain, because we've got our own demons to find on a daily basis. So I say to you, as I say to Adam, memorize those words, which the prophets Allah Allah Allah who was taught to abort will never put them into action every morning and evening, and ultimately, make the remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala your fortress, which you retreat to when you are afraid, and when you are down. We've been promised that this fort is an impenetrable one.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:38
