00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			I'm sorry.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:09
			Rhodiola. And how was a widow, she was the mother of innocent nomadic.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			And men began to propose to her.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			And of the men who proposed to her was a baton handle on Saudi.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:29
			And Abu Talha was a very desirable man in Medina. He was very wealthy. And I'm so lame said
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:37

00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			But you are a mushrik accept Islam, and I'll marry you.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			And so I will not have
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			accepted Islam.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:02:00
			And the narrator said, we used to consider that no one had a greater amount, no one had a greater
amount than a greater dowry than Sudan. Because her dowry was Islam.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			They would be blessed with a child.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			I will tell her what was out one day.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			And the child this young child passed away
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:31
			on Sunday, who is this incredibly wise, gifted woman blessed woman is thinking about how she can
break this news to her husband. And so when her husband comes home that night, he says, How's the
baby? She says, I skinned my Akun as peaceful as can be.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:39
			And she had beautified herself for her husband and they had spent the night together in the morning.
She says to him,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			if someone had loaned you something,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:03:01
			and then they wanted what they took back, or they took it back, would you be upset by that? He said,
Of course not. Everyone has the right to take back what is theirs. And so she said so be patient.
Allah took back our child yesterday.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			I will don't have goes to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:14
			to tell him our own surname did and the Prophet sallallahu s&m said May Allah bless the night that
you had together.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			The
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			our community
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:52
			has been rocked by the news of a horrific tragic death of sister Saudi Alonso, who was the reports
are that she was killed by her ex husband and he killed her four year old daughter as well their
four year old daughter as well than his or her mother. Three generations of a family wiped out May
Allah Subhana Allah have mercy on them and protect us and our families alone, Mommy. And there's so
much to be discussed.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			As a community,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:02
			the topic of domestic violence can be discussed. And how
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:18
			at the crux of these relationships, is the idea that a person sees a relationship that Allah has
gifted them whether the side of a spouse or whether it's that have children as a relationship of
ownership when it's not that
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:27
			in fact, the province of ally they send them corrected that type of thinking. One time he saw a
companion a great companion of boomers route
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:42
			not to be confused with Eben must route the famous companion but Elon Musk was the Allah and who was
once beating a slave of his which is a relationship that's defined by ownership there's literally a
transaction that happens
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			and so when was rude says that he was beating a slave of his
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:57
			and he heard a voice behind him say LM Yeah, Mr. Root Lulla who aka dead or they can make it
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			he said no Obama's
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Here's the voice. Allah has more power over you than you have over him.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:46
			If what's diluting you right now is the power that you think that you have in that relationship. I
am the owner. In that relationship, I am the husband in that relationship, I am the parent I
outweighed them by 40 pounds or 100 pounds or I have this weapon or have whatever it is that I think
that I have that has given me a power over them. The province of Allah to send them says, Allah has
more power over you than you have over them up almost route. He sees that it's Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam he's a companion to he's not going to sit there and argue and so he says, ya rasool Allah who
are heard only which Allah, he is free for the sake of Allah. Immediately my repentance, he's free.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			And so the promises of Elijah said to him said, Let in lamb Turfan lemma said cannot.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			If you did not do that, the fire would have touched you.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:27
			It's a relationship of ownership, right? I was not going to ask me about what I do to my kids. No,
Allah is. Allah is not going to ask me about what I do with my my family members. No, Allah is Allah
is not going to ask me about what I do with my employees. Oh Allah Subhana Allah is and in fact you
might have the most righteous brother coming to the messages all the time helpful kind all of these
things. Meanwhile, the threat of the Hellfire is hovering over this individual because of the
delusion that they had with regards to some power that ALLAH SubhanA data gave them.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			Allah has more power over you. Then you have over anybody.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:07:11
			That is a conversation that we need to have. And yet we could also have the conversation of
senseless killing the province la mala do is send them said that near the end of times, one of the
things that will increase is a lot of Jay said what's that he said it'll cut and cut, killing,
killing. And so one piece of news comes after the other. We have a journalist who was killed in
Jerusalem, we have 10 people who are killed in a in a market in Buffalo. We have our sister who is
killed here in Houston. And every one of them does not know why they were killed. And one is killed
by a Zionist soldier and the other is killed by a Christian white supremacist and another is killed
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			by a Muslim family member.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:30
			Killing being widespread. And yet one other conversation that begs to be that needs to be had is one
about mental illness and the removal of this stigma so that people go and they get help and they
talk to therapists and they talk to counselors and they come to the massage and then they they
express
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:48
			and we encourage family members and we don't tell them there's nothing wrong with you get up and
walk it off. You're okay there's nothing wrong with you don't say that. Know that we see people are
injured in our families that we encourage them to go seek help. And we knock on all of the doors
that are required. All of these are important topics to be at.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			But one topic that I want in the short reminder very, very briefly.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:06
			Is this phrase that Allah subhanaw taala gifted us and it is a phrase that I believe is worth
billions of dollars.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			And that is in Allah here in Nigeria Rajon
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:21
			Allah subhanho wa Taala he says what a wn a combi che in mineral whole fuel joy. We're not similar
and why he would unfussy with thermal rot, whereby she was sobbing.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:52
			Olivia either Asaba Tomasi, Baton Katarina Lila who any theological I want to, I'm not speaking
about the context of any event in this moment. But I am talking about any time tragedy happens
anytime a calamity happens. Allah subhanaw taala has gifted the Muslim world this phrase that
relieves us of burdens that we would not have been able to carry. If you look at the pain and
suffering that is experienced in the Muslim world, the pain and suffering that we experience and
that we've experienced.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:10
			And people are amazed how do you go through all of this and you don't resort to alcohol and you
don't resort to drugs and you don't reserve to any sort of anything that will numb your pain? It is
because Allah subhanaw taala frames for us the reality of this dunya and so of the meanings of this
phrase, we say in that Allah when Allah
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:19
			to Allah, we belong and to Him, we return to Allah we belong and to Him we return a couple of points
with regards to this race.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:34
			To Allah we belong on so lame, is showcasing Abu Talhah the meaning of this phrase, if someone had
lent you something and then summoned it back, would you be upset by that? And he says no.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			The believer recognizes that we are all the property of Allah.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:59
			And that Allah subhanaw taala does with us what He wills and that Allah subhanaw taala summons us
back when he wills and in doing so it doesn't mean that I don't grieve. No I grieve. It doesn't mean
that I don't feel incredible pain. I feel incredible pain. The
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:24
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam lost his son Ibrahim and he is weeping. And he said even you y'all
rasool Allah, and he says, this is a mercy that ALLAH SubhanA data space in our heart, and he says
in the lane and the man will call Bella Hazzard, our eyes weep and our heart feel sorrow what I know
who Illa Europe and we do not say except that which pleases Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:57
			I feel grief, but my patience requires that I do not say that the limits of grief that I don't do I
say that which Allah subhanaw taala does not love, nor do I entertain evil thoughts about Allah
because of what I know about Allah subhanho data, I know that this is coming from someone who is
merciful. I know this is coming from someone who is wise, I know this is coming from someone who is
just and so I do not say anything except that which pleases Allah. And we are very early by your
departure. Oh, Ibrahim truly grieved.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			That grief is is normal.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:43
			But Allah Subhana Allah Allah tells us that this dunya is a dunya of of trials and tribulations. He
says, What an absolute no kombucha immunol hope you will join we will test you. And so the believer
knows the reality of this dunya is not to be a place of eternal happiness. This is a place of test
and trial. But when a calamity touches they say in Allahu Allah, Allah. And Allah says we're best
suited to slavery and give glad tidings to the patient. give glad tidings to the patient. This is
really amazing. How Allah says rubbish she does sobbing. It's amazing. Because our natural
inclination, which is what we do, is we console those who are going through trials, we console those
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:50
			who are grieving, we are the consoling those who are going through loss. That's what we do, and
that's what we're supposed to do.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			But Allah says congratulate,
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:06
			not to console he says congratulate and Allah is not congratulating a person who is going through
something unless what they are receiving at the end of it is greater than what they lost.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:39
			Allah says well, that she does sobbing in and give glad tidings to the people of endurance of
perseverance. Those who when they're afflicted, they say in it like you're in a Roger in that moment
where they're afflicted they say, no matter what the affliction is, they say in that Eli way Nayla
Joan, why, what do they receive after that? Allah says, Allah Allah, Allah him Salah to mera beam
Rama, they will have Salawat they will have praise from their Lord. And they will experience mercy
from their Lord because of their endurance in that moment in that test their response to it
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:54
			will let it go home and what they're doing and they will be guided on the line who hearing this
verse, he said, What an excellent exchange are these two things that they say two phrases and in
response for those two phrases, they get
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:33
			Rama and they get Salawat. They get two things, what an extra exchange? And then what would I go
home and want to do? And he said, and what an excellent bonus, you get even more out of the great
reward for that person's experience. And at the end of the day, as believers we have to always zoom
out we don't look at things through the lens of the dunya only we see things through the lens of the
dunya and the AFA. And Allah subhanho data says when I started talking, I will say well, okay,
perhaps that you hate something and it is better for you. And Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu a beautiful
framing that he showed us he says love hate if you hate him by the WHO not or that shall official
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:46
			remember the WHO Jana, there is no harm in any harm that leads to paradise and there is no evil and
any evil that leads to there is no evil in any evil that leads to paradise and there is no good in
any good that leads to the hellfire.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:00
			the seeing of everything, whether I enjoy it or whether I do not like it or whether it's painful,
whether it's if it is something that leads me to the paradise at the end of it then it is something
that is beautiful and it is something that is good.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:11
			Any calamity that a person experiences that a person learns to say ignite Illa who are in either
here latch on to Allah we belong and to Him we return a whole massive metal monster for the Lord who
were looking for stuff we don't know for right
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:13
			now
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:58
			hamdulillah salatu salam ala Rasulillah a person says we belong to Allah so we we are the belongings
of Allah he does with us what he wishes. But the second part of the phrase Allah says, what you lay
here on your own and we will return to Allah and returning to Allah subhanaw taala that part of the
phrase and deuces incredible hope that no matter what the loss is, no matter what the harm is, no
matter what the pain is, no matter what the oppression is, that I am returning back, and I'm going
to leave this this horrible dunya filled with oppression filled with wrong filled with and I'm going
to go to a king who is just I am going to return to a king who is ramen. I'm going to return to even
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			Ambassador de la and he says
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			When he lost his father and a bus
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			a Bedouin came to give him condolences.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:20
			And he said Isabel Nakhon Vika sabaidee inna for in nassarawa at in the sub De Rossi, Pharaoh
Minelab, bassy, Sorocaba, Idaho,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			Walla, Ohio Minka Hill ambassy.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:36
			He said, Be patient. To Evan Abbas. He lost his father. It's an incredible loss. He said, Be patient
will be patient by your patients because the patience of the flock is in accordance to the patience
of the leader.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:16:23
			Better for better than an Abbas is your patience after he's passed away. Like it's better for you to
experience patients in this moment, than even the presence of your father. And the law is better for
an ibis than you. Allah is better for an ibis than you even ambassador, nobody gave me condolences
better than this Bedouin. The idea that as much as I love my loved one, as much as I loved, whatever
whoever that person is, that when they journey to Allah subhanaw taala they are now with someone who
is more merciful to them than I am, more kind to them than I am. And that Allah subhanaw taala is
more loving of them than I am. And Allah Subhana Allah is a better provider for them than I am.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:28
			Allah is better for me than them. And Allah is better for them than me.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:50
			When is this phrase in the law who enabled your own legislative this legislative at the loss of any
calamity? I'm gonna follow the law on him. When he would break his sandals he would say in the law
when he the Rajon people say it was something that you say for something so small, and he said yes,
any calamity? It is legislative for you to say he nodded. Like you're in Alien, right? You're owed.
And of course,
		
00:16:51 --> 00:17:01
			the great losses the loss of a child. The province of Elijah send them says in a Timothy he says
that when the angels come back after having taken the soul of a
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			of the child of one of his servants, he says,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:38
			according to whether the Abdi and the angels say yes did you take the servants of did you take their
child and say yes, Acaba to thermadata. For it. Did you take the fruit of their heart? They'll say
Yes, mother, Karla Abdi. What did my servants say? They'll say Hamada was started Yeah, they praise
you and they said in Allah He was in a hurry Elijah, to Allah we belong to Him we return and Allah
Subhana Allah will save a newly added debate and was a motivated hunt, build for my servant a palace
in Paradise and call it the house of praise because they praise me in that moment. And of course,
when a person loses
		
00:17:40 --> 00:18:09
			a loved one, I'm set them out of the Alana. She lost her husband abou Selma and the province of
Allah Heidi who has said to him, he says, Nobody says when they lose someone in that in that era he
Olajuwon Allah who didn't if he mercy, but living Pharaoh minha Oh Allah reward me and my calamity,
and replace me with what's better than it except that ALLAH who replaces you with what's better than
that, and I'm Selma, she said I was making this dua and I was thinking to myself who's better than I
was enema. Like there's nobody better than my husband who passed away.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:47
			But I made the drought and she said Allah subhanaw taala replaced me with Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam she became Omar meaning and she's better than she's better than or he's better than cinema.
In any case, inshallah to Allah tonight we'll be having a discussion on Friday Night Lights
revolving around the passing away or some of the conversations that we need to have as a community
and inshallah Tala both around domestic violence and mental illness and a number of other things
Inshallah, tada invite you about tragedy and the response to tragedy and I invite you all to join us
Inshallah, to Allah. Ask Allah to have mercy on her and her family and to protect our families and
		
00:18:47 --> 00:19:11
			to heal our community. Ask Allah azza wa jal to allow us to hear the speech and follow the best of
it and to grant us paradise and will bring us closer to actions of speech and to protect us from the
Hellfire will bring us close to the reactions of speech. Law minutes Erica general Makara Beatty
