when we go to Allah wa Sula, who forgot the first supposin Alima and my bad,
all praises due to Allah we seek His guidance and his forgiveness and we seek refuge and Allah from the evil of ourselves and the whispering of our desires, whom Allah guides no one can misguide. And whom he allows to be misled. No one can guide and I have ever witnessed that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah alone, having no partners. And then Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa send him as a slave and His messenger Allah subhana wa Tada says in the Quran, oh you believe fear Allah as he deserves to be feared and do not die except in a state of Islam. And Allah says, Oh mankind's, Fear your Lord who created you from a single soul and produce from that soul its mate, and made from
their combination many men and women, so Fear your Lord whom you ask each other by and by the ties of kinship, verily, Allah is Ever Watchful over you. And Allah says, Oh, you who believe fear Allah and say that which is correct, he will correct for you your deeds, and forgive you your sins, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, then they are indeed victorious.
I shall let the Alana hum she asked the Prophet salaallah And he was setting them and she said, Did you ever experience a day that was more difficult than the day of
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam responded to her and we know the day of Hood was the day that he lost Hamza, the day that seven day companions were murdered. The province of allied SLM his himself was injured on the day of hurt. It was a day that had begun for the Muslims and then it ended with something that was a seeming loss, although it was victory for the believers. But it was a very difficult day. And I Aisha asked if he had ever experienced a difficult day that was actually more difficult. And the province of Allah Allah has sent him he said, Yes, your people have troubled me a lot. And the worst day was the day of Aqaba, when I presented myself
to even yella ill and he did not respond to my demand. And so I discarded and overwhelmed with excessive sorrow proceeded on and could not relax until I found myself and putting aside the province of Allah
idea is that lamb is describing the event when he went to
give or call the people of a five to Islam, after having being expelled or having been rejected by the people of Makkah and Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam after going to a thigh if he was ridiculed, he was stoned by the children and the foolish people of a five and the province of Elijah send them wondered, until he had reached a far distance, in his hum in his distress and in his sadness, until he saw and he looked up and he said, I saw GBL and he called me and he said, Allah has heard your people saying to you, and what they have replied back to you. And Allah azza wa jal has sent the angels of the mountains to you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish with these people.
The Prophet salallahu de Sena has been rejected, he's been insulted. He's been ridiculed, he's been injured. And now he has the opportunity, the angel of the mountains is there.
And if he had wished for the mountain to be collapsed and vengeance to be enacted, he had that license. And the province of Allah descended on the angel of the mountains, greeted him and said, Oh, Mohamed, order what you wish, if you will, like I will have the two mountains fall on them. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said no, but I hope that Allah will beget children who will worship Allah alone, and will worship none besides Him, that Allah subhanaw taala will extract from their loins from their lineage, those who will worship Allah subhanaw taala Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam showcases incredible optimism, even by people who reject Him, even by
people who he the most, the most, the person with the most
integrity in his Dawa the person who was most sincere in his Dawa and when he has the opportunity to enact punishments on them,
compare this with some of the companions of will not only father who went and he he gave, he gave that word to his people, or other companions who went and they gave that out to the people of dose. And they came back and they said, you know Sula, the people of those have rejected Islam. So, make dua that dose be destroyed. There is an there is an anger that comes when a person may call people to goodness and they reject that goodness. And so the prophets of Allah Allah has sent him raise his hand he said, Allah Almighty those who are TB him, Oh Allah guide the people of dose and bring them to Islam. Similarly, even one of the prophets of Allah they sent him himself as the one who was
injured. He still is asking Allah azza wa jal that they be guided to Islam.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was optimistic in his Dawa, the province of allied s&m taught us to be optimistic, always. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, he said that I like alpha and I like good science. It is not precise that we say that Muslims don't believe in science, but rather, Muslims don't believe in bad omens. We don't believe in evil science. But the promise of Elijah send them used to like good science and the promise on the licen and was asked what isn't fun? And he said, It is a good word. The Prophet SAW Melania send them used to connect good words with good outcomes. And even IBISWorld Allah Allah who answers the question, why is it that we are
not allowed to have bad omens bad superstition, and yet we are allowed to have good omens, good signs? And he said because it is an extension of personal vanilla. It is an extension of good expectation of Allah subhanaw taala.
The reason why I'm not allowed to believe in 13 being bad luck, or a black cat crossing the street is bad luck or what have you. Whereas I am able to believe
that one Rasulullah sallallahu SLM here's a man who's brought to him in the Treaty of her debut and his name is 200 nanometer and he's the negotiator being sent by the machinic. In Rasulullah, sallAllahu. They sent him Here's the word so Halen, Souhei means the one the little easy one. And so the province of Allah they say themselves, but sal Allahu Allah subhanaw taala has Major affair easy, because because of the derivation of the name. And so this idea of being able to see goodness and expect goodness in every turn, is an extension of a person thinking good of Allah subhanaw taala a person were to look at the script of their life. Do you think that Allah subhanaw taala would
write for you the worse a person everywhere they go, they're looking out for the worst outcome. They're afraid of of everything around the corner, and they think that this is going to harm them and this is going to harm them and this is going to harm them. Why would you expect from ALLAH SubhanA data who we believe the opposite of we believe that he isn't, Hakeem? We believe that Allah is Allah. We believe that ALLAH SubhanA diatas man, we believe that Allah Subhana Allah to Allah is an alpha, we believe that Allah subhanaw taala doesn't get him. These are the names. These are the attributes that we believe about Allah subhanaw taala and so
A person should when their lord is a Lord of goodness, they should look for goodness.
Even in the difficulty that they experience Allah Subhana Allah says for in the madness of use in the madness resume, Allah Subhana Allah says endometriosis in the marrow sutra, Allah subhanaw taala says that with every difficulty is ease,
and then Allah subhanaw taala you know this, the grammarians, the scholars, they mentioned that Allah subhanaw taala made Alerce more rough with Elif Allah, Allah subhanaw taala made a notice, he made it definite with the Elif lamp, and it's repeated in both verses were indicates that it's talking about the same hardship. And Allah Subhana Allah made us he made it indefinite. And so it indicates that it is a different a different ease. And so the scholars they said linearly versatile new strain, that one difficulty will not overwhelm to eases
that with every difficulty comes multiple eases not a single one, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is the most transformative leader in history. And so we should pay attention to the things that the Prophet salallahu Salam paid attention to. And one of the things that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam paid attention to is people's names.
It's very interesting. Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, if he came across a person with a bad name, he would change it.
But you might think like, that's incidental to a person that doesn't really affect the person's personality. It doesn't affect their psychology, it doesn't affect. In fact, we might even come up with horrible nicknames for people.
To cute nickname for my family for my brother for my sister for my kids. So horrible nickname, Allah subhanaw taala says, Well, that's an Ibiza when
Allah says do not insult each other with nicknames the province of Allah, Allah has sent him in, in many occasions, changed people's names.
I'll give you a few examples of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, he changed the names of has been washed up
and hasn't limited. That which is difficult. The province of Elijah said and said to him, No, you are sad. And he said to him, I will not change the name, which my father has named me. He was the grandfather of say them the Messiah. And say he didn't say he was narrating this hadith where his grandfather refused for the name change of the province. Little Light is ended up his name, difficult, hard. And the province of Allah they sent him said you're easy. And he said, I'm not going to change my name. And so say didn't want to say it commented. And he said, roughness has been on our character ever since. It just been one generation to the next we were and even had mentioned
that they were known for their difficulty, the family of say didn't one way of his ancestry, they were known for their their bad manners. The Prophet sallallahu send them changed the name of icea I'll say meaning the one who's defined the Prophet sallallahu wasallam changed her name, he changed the name of how to and called him sitting the change the name of war. And he made him named peace. You know the story of the province of the lightest and then changing the name of of how to who I've never thought about all the Allied who wanted to name his son and the province of ally. They said him said to him No, he's name isn't war, his name is Hassan, the beautiful, and then again, the
province of ally, they send them change the name of it Hussein, because I didn't have any thought about named him how to begin and the province the law why they sent him said no, he's an Hussein, the little beautiful one, the province of Allah did send them change the name of a land that was called or a land that was called share, but blah, blah, the mountain path of misguidance. And he called it shared by the Buddha, the mountain path of guidance. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam changed the name of Benu Zinnia, the children of fornication, and he called them Brentwood Rasheeda, the children of those who are on the right path I want you to pay attention to even in the United
States, you have a lot of names that are very negative little towns little, but paying attention to the effect. For example, one of the famous cities is Las Vegas. What's its nickname, Sin City? And that becomes a license. Right? You have all of these phrases what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and what have you, right. And all of this facilitates the psychology of the people of that city and the psychology of those who when they enter into that city, what they expect, or what they imagine is possible there. And so the province of allied SLM will transform the names of individuals who will transform the names of places he will transform the names of tribes even all because of the
effect as well as hoping for an optimistic outcome for them and their lives afterwards. Also, that a person be optimistic about themselves. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said that Leia could have become habitat Neff See, one of you should never say that my soul has become evil, that my soul has become hubby filthy, impure evil. Rather, he should say Well, yeah, cool.
At certain FC let them say that my soul is in difficulty or it's in bad shape. But just that idea of of being Habiba nefs the province of allied as Adam said, a person should never say that a person should always look at themselves with optimism, the province of Allah it was said to them, he says, In another Hadith, and by the way, with that the scholar said that a person should never say that he loves to be any less to believe that a person should never say that I'm not good. How are you doing? Not good.
But rather, they should say, I am right now I'm currently in a state of weakness or something of that nature. Because wording affects a person's psychology and affects a person's self perception, and the province of Allah to set it up,
even showcases to us the effects that words may have on a person's future. In the example of the man who came to rasool Allah license, or rather the province of ally, de Sena went to him to visit a Bedouin Arab. And it's reported by the body and the man was sick. And when Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam came to him, he said, Allah that's to hold on Insha Allah, there is no harm on you inshallah. And the man said, rather, he said, Kela Bell, Huma forro, Allah chef in Kibera.
He said, This is a humor that is, it's inflamed over a old man that will send him to alcohol or send him to the grave. And so the prophets of Allah they said, and he said, for now, and even
then it will be,
he came to him, saying, Lavazza Inshallah, you're going to be okay. You're going to be purification. And this man is saying, No, this is going to kill me. And so the province of Elijah send him said, then it will, because it doesn't have this but at the Bharani added, that the man passed away, that the man passed away. And so this person is a person's expectation may lead a person into more difficulty it could even lead a person to death, a person being optim optimistic, may lead a person to healing a person being optimistic and Allah subhanaw taala, optimistic and goodness. You know, a Bedouin man, another Bedouin man was asked, and he said,
it was said to him in nicomedes, you're gonna die.
And he said, then what?
They said, then it's to Allah.
He said, What's the problem? Every good I've ever experienced is from Allah Azza.
wa jal. So then should I be afraid of meeting ALLAH SubhanA data?
How is that going to scare me when every good I've ever experienced this from ALLAH SubhanA wa Donna
What if a person
whatever person can't be optimistic or just negative by nature?
The province of Allah do you send him he says no hadith of a mover over the ALLAH and he says yeah Rasul Allah, Allah, Allah, may Allah what is the best of actions? And Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said Eman will be law? Well, do you have the visa vie belief in Allah and jihad in his path? And then he said, a Yoda copy of God,
which freeing of a of a slave is best? And he said, the most expensive and the one that's most desired to their master, that you go and you and you free that one.
And then he said, fair enough, that if I can't do that,
he said, If you can't afford to do that, then help a laborer or help someone who's disabled someone that you assess someone in some way. And then he said, What if I can't do that? He said,
to give Shakalaka and any nurse for in Hasakah to Minka, Lnf sick, he said that you
refrain yourself, from your evil to other people, that becomes a sadaqa that you spend on your self.
I can't help the community in any way.
I can't volunteer, I can't give charity. I can't I can't support in any way. You know, the sadaqa that I can I can give.
I can give the sadaqa of not being negative.
You know, they say when people criticize.
They should not let when criticize and when people criticize and say something that can't be done. They should at least step out of the way of those who are doing it.
Meaning that if if if I cannot do
that, let me not be someone who is harming those who are. If I can't be a supporter of goodness, if I can't be a supporter of teaching, if I can't be in the support of Osama bin Malraux Fernando munkar commander good and forbidding evil. If I can't be the supporter of the support of the dean in general.
The Let not be let me not be one who is criticizing those who are doing that
Let me not be those who are criticizing let me not criticize those who are doing good in whatever capacity that becomes a sadaqa. Not that I give to them. The province of Allah de Sam says it is a sadhaka that you give to yourself is so powerful that you give to yourself.
A person be optimistic in every generation, you know, sometimes.
This is a common trait where people look at the generation that came after. So the baby boomers look at the millennials and they say the millennials are useless. The millennials look at Generation Z, and they say Generation Z is useless. And Generation Z looks at whoever is younger than them and they say that generation useless and and all of that.
The home of Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam will always have goodness in it.
Always have goodness in it. And the prophets of Allah de Sam says mancala halacha Nasser, who Allah
the whoever says that the the people have been ruined. They're the ones who are most ruined.
Or they are the ones who ruin them. The person who's saying you're, you're a loser, you're nothing, you're never going to be anything. You're the entire community, the entire the entire ummah. They're all ruin that sometimes you hear people talk like that don't move them hammer, the entire room is useless. The province the law essence says Whoever says the people are destroyed, the people are ruined. They're the ones who are destroying them. Or they are the ones who are the most destroyed amongst them. And so a person being optimistic with regards to the community, a person being optimistic with regards to themselves, a person being optimistic in the way that they communicate
with other people a person being optimistic with regards to the future of this deen
and ALLAH SubhanA data knows best optimasi mentor Mustafa they were looking for sofiero novela for Rahim.
hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah What are your Cybil Selim 70 Thirassia Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola, Chica, y shadow no Mohammed Abdullah Surah
for those of you who are just joining we were just talking about the province little lady I sent him in his optimism and his optimism, periphery ated every aspect of his life cellulitis and and from the way that he interacted with people from the way that he perceived events that were difficult, but all of it came from an extension of good expectation from Allah subhanaw taala. A person being optimistic in their life is an extension of their optimism or their good expectation from Allah subhanaw taala which is a great great act of worship. And so we ask Allah azza wa jal to make us of those who expect goodness from his always and to make us of those who love to meet him. Because the
prophets Allah, Allah, Allah sent him says that whoever loves to meet Allah azza wa jal, Allah Subhana Allah loves to meet them to make the best of our days our last days and the best of our moments, the day that we meet Allah Subhana Allah to Allah.
We ask Allah azza wa jal for his Jinnah to protect us from the hellfire and what will bring us close to it of actions of speech alone. mananas local general Makabe Hammond Khalid Mohammed want to become an unarmed Micromobility Harman Kardon mammal Allahu Mateen Fuson at UCLA zakiyah entitlements aka Antonio hom Allah Allahu Maximilian and Attica matter Hulu been in Albania Marcia tick I mean try to come to believe whenever he jannettek I mean you have to remember to hold up here I didn't almost lie but dunya Montana Oklahoma vs mine off slide you know watching them play tena watch on Hulu.
