00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			We look around the world, brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			and we see the state of the Muslims
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			all over the world,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			not just
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			in the Middle East,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			not just in Asia,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			but wherever they
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			are Muslims,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			they are going through some type of trial
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			and some type of tribulation.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			And we see the Muslims
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			being oppressed.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			We see the Muslims
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			being harmed. We see the Muslims being slaughtered
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			and killed
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			in certain parts of the world.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			And when we see this,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			it hurts us.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			We feel their pain. And we hear stories
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			of of children
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			who leave their homes in the morning,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			leaving their homes in the morning to go
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			to school,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			and they say goodbye to their families and
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			they go to school.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			When they come back from school,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			they don't have a home to go back
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			to. Their homes have been bombed.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			Their family is dead.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			And you hear stories about
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			orphans living in orphanages
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			because their whole family has been killed.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			The whole family has been killed and they've
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			been slaughtered.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			And when they go to sleep at night,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			they take some chalk
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			they take some chalk chalk and they draw
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			an outline of an adult
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			on the ground,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			and they sleep next to it
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			because they're looking for some type of support,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			some type of comfort
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			in their lonely lives.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			We hear about other
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			children
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			who are killed
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			and just before they die,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			just before their souls are taken, they tell
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			those who are holding them in their arms.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			They say I'm going to tell Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			wa ta'ala everything.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			I'm going to tell Allah everything that happened,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			and we hear countless stories like
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			this of our own Muslim brothers and sisters
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			who are being killed, who are being slaughtered.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			You know, we see videos and images
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			on Facebook, on television
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			about their state and what they're going through.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			And it tugs at the heartstrings of every
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			single one of us and we feel their
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			pain.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			And some of us when we hear about
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			these stories, when we hear and we see
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			what the Muslims are going through, some of
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			us start to have certain doubts.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			Some of us start to question things.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			Some of us start to say,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			if we are upon the haqq,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			if we are upon the truth,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			if we are those who are rightly guided,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			then why is this happening to us?
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			Why is this happening
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			to those whom Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			chosen?
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Why is this happening to us?
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			If we are upon the truth, why are
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			we being humiliated today?
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			If we are upon the hack and we
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			are upon the truth and we are great
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			in number, there's so many of us living
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			today, so many Muslims today,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			why is this happening? We start to question
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			ourselves. We start to question our own faith.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			We start to question
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			whether we are upon the truth, and sometimes
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			this happens to some people.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			And I want to mention today, brothers and
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			sisters,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			some of the benefits
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			and some of the wisdoms
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			of
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			trials and tribulations
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			that before the Muslims.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, You
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			might dislike something.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			You might despise something. You might hate something.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			But Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, will put in
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			that thing lots of good. There'll be lots
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			of benefit in that thing, in that thing
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			that you despise, in that thing that you
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			hate. There'll be lots lots of good in
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			it whether we see that or not.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			And I wanna mention, brothers and sisters,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			6 benefits
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			of trials and tribulations
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			that Muslims face.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			Six things that we can take.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			Six things that we can be optimistic about
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			when we see what's happening to our Muslim
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			brothers and sisters all over the world.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			1st and foremost,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			the fact that we feel pain.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			The fact
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			that when we see these things happening
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			on the television screens, on our laptops, on
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:53
			our computers,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			the fact that we become upset,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			the fact that when we go to bed
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			at night, we can't sleep because we're thinking
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			about what's happening to our brothers and sisters
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			all over the world.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			The fact that we have these feelings, when
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			we see our Muslim brothers and sisters being
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			persecuted,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			being slow to left, right, and center, the
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			fact that we have this feeling
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			is itself a sign that you yourself possess
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			some iman
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			and some faith in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			And that you have a love for your
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			Muslim brothers and sisters because you've never seen
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			them before. You don't know who they are.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			You don't know their families. You don't know
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			where they're from. You don't know their language.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			You've never been to those countries before,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			but you see them on the television screens
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			crying and you start to cry. You become
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42
			upset.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			And this is one of the signs of
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			a believer. As the messenger of Allah alaihi
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			wasratu wasalam said,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			that the that the example of the believer
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			with regards to his mutual love and with
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:02
			regards to his mercy, and the compassion that
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			he possesses, is like the example of a
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			human body. When one part of that body
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			feels pain, when there's pain in one single
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			part, a small part of that body,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			the whole body feels pain.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			The whole body feels pain and the whole
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			body stays awake at night and he has
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			a fever. He can't sleep.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			Even though that pain is just affecting one
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			part of the of the body, one limb
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			of the body. And this is the example
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			of the believer.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			When he sees someone who he's never seen
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			before, he doesn't know who they are, but
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			he knows that they're being afflicted.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			They're being oppressed.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			They're going through trials and tribulations, it affects
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			him. And know brothers and sisters that if
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			this is happening to you, then you possess
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			some iman. And you should be grateful to
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that he has made
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			you from the believers and from those who
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			possess faith and possess iman.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			The second benefit of these trials and tribulations
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			that are happening today in this world
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			is that it shows the greatness
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			and the power of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			And it makes us realize that we have
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			no power to do anything
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wills, he will
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			do whatever he wants.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			If he wants something to happen, it's going
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			to happen. Whether we want it to happen
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			or not, whether we like it or not.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			And this is the qadr of Allah subhanahu
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:29
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			And this is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			has chose and decreed is going to take
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			place to us and to our Muslim brothers
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			and sisters all over the world.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:44
			Those people,
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			those Muslims,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			when they realize that this is in the
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			hands of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and that
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			everything on the face of this earth belongs
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			to Allah and everything will return to him,
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			what do they say?
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			Those
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			who when a trial or a disaster strikes,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:03
			they say
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			They say to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			belong and to him we will return. They
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:11
			realize
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			when they see these things happening, that is
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			something which is out out of their control.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			It's in the hands of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			ta'ala. And they say,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			To Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we belong. He
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			is the one who created us. He is
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			the one who gave us what we have.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			And he the one we are going to
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			go back to eventually.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			Everything on the face of this earth belongs
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			The third benefit of trials and tribulations
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			which take place
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			is that person when he sees these trials
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			or when he goes through these trials and
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			tribulations that affect him and affect those who
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			are around him, he turns back to Allah
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			He turns back to Allah aza wa jal
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			because he knows that there is no nation,
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			there is no leader, there's no group of
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			people that can help him more than Allah
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			If the whole world was to get together
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			and try to harm someone,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			they won't be able to harm him if
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protects him. And if
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			the whole world got together and try to
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			help an individual, they won't be able to
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			help him before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			want to help him. And an individual realizes
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			this and he knows that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			ta'ala
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			individual realizes this. And he knows that Allah
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			subhanahu wa ta'ala can help him. At a
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			time and at a moment when no one
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			else will be able to help him. He
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			puts his trust in Allah He asks Allah
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			instead
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			of asking and depending on other people, on
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			other individuals.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			And when harm touches him, when harm touches
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:50
			an individual,
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			he calls on us. He remembers us.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			When a calamity afflicts him, when a trial
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			befalls him, when he goes to some some
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			form of tribulation,
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			he remembers Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And Allah
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:04
			says,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:07
			When
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			harm touches you
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			while you're at sea
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			while you're at sea,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			everything that you used to call upon vanishes.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			Every body that you used to ask for
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			help, they can't help you anymore.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			Accept him. Accept Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			He knows in that state where
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			he's in a moment of weakness. He knows
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			nobody can help him. At this moment in
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			time, he remembers Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			he knows that people may forsake him.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			People may not help him.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is always there.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			You know, they say you know your friends
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			not during times of ease but during times
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			of hardship. You know who your friends are.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			When you're going through a trial, when you're
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			going through a calamity,
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			you know who those people are that when
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			you're going through those trials, they're by your
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			side.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			They're with you. They're helping you. They're supporting
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			you. They don't abandon you.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			And you only find that during times of
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			calamity and during times of
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			trial. The 4th benefit brothers and sisters
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			of trials and tribulations that before the Muslims
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			is that it's an expiation
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			for our sins and for our own shortcomings.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			that any disaster
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			that strikes
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			you,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			then it's because of what your own hands
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:43
			have earned.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			And he forgives a lot of them.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			Any trials, any tribulation that an individual goes
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:56
			through, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive most
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:56
			of them.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			So as a result of trials and tribulations,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			a person
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			will have his sins being expiated by Allah
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. The messenger of Allah
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			that no tiredness
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			or exhaustion
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			or worry or grief or distress
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			or harm befalls a believer.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			Even the pricking of a thorn.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			Even something as small and as tiny as
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			a thorn pricking him.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			He walks past a thorny bush
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			and it pricks him.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Even something as small as this, even
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			something as small as this, it doesn't happen
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			to the believer, it doesn't happen to the
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			Muslim except that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala expiate
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			some of his sin some of his sins
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			as a result of this. SubhanAllah.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			Any type of
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			discomfort that a believer goes through, it's a
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			it's a it's a way for Allah Subhanahu
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			Wa Ta'ala to forgive him of his sins.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			And a person should think about this. Anytime
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			we go through trials and tribulations,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			we should realize that it's a way of
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala showing his mercy. A
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			way of Allah azza wa jal forgiving some
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			of our sins that we may have done.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			The 5th benefit brothers and sisters
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			of these trials and tribulations
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			that are happening around the world
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			is that we show mercy
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			to those in need when we see them
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			suffering.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			And we offer any type of aid that
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			we can give them.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			And it reminds us to be grateful
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			for the fact that we're living in safety
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			and insecurity.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			The fact that we here living comfortably,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			we remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's blessings upon
		
00:13:59 --> 00:13:59
			us
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			and that he saved us from these trials
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			and these tribulations
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			and that he's given us wealth
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			that we can spend
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			on those people who are suffering.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			We can give them this type of aid.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			We're in a situation.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			We're in a position where we can help
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			those people.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			And a person
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:20
			lives here
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			in comfort, in total comfort. He doesn't
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			have to worry about coming back from coming
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			back from work and seeing his house demolished
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			and destroyed.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			He doesn't have to worry about these things.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:37
			He doesn't
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			have to worry about money and about income.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			He doesn't have to worry about food. Where
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			is he going to get the food from?
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			How is my child? How is my family
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			going to eat today? He doesn't have to
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			worry about those things.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			Yet there are people around the world who
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			are thinking about these things every single day.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			They're worried they're going to leave their homes
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			and their homes are going to be destroyed.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			They wake up in the morning and they're
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			thinking, how am I going to feed my
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			children? Where am I going to get the
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			food from?
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			And us living here, we can't even imagine
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:08
			this.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			We can't even begin to imagine what those
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			people are going through.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			And so a person
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			living here
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			with the blessing that he's been given by
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			and he sees those people suffering, he helps
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			them. He offers them aid. He gives them
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			wealth. The messenger of Allah ahi wa sallam,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			he said that wealth doesn't decrease
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			through charity.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			When you give in charity,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			when you give money to those who need
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			it,
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			your wealth won't decrease. It won't decrease as
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			a result of you helping others.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			So my brothers and sisters, it's an opportune
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			time. It's an ideal moment for you to
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			be rewarded from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala by
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			giving your wealth to those who need it
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			the most. By aiding those people who
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			are in
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			need and those people who are looking for
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			people to help them. Those people who are
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			looking around and they're asking others and they're
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:09
			saying, When
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			is the help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			When is the help of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			ta'ala going to come?
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:19
			The 6th
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			benefit
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			of trials and tribulations that afflict the Muslims
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			in this
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			world is that this
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			is something
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			and the messenger of Allah salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			sallam have decreed is going to happen.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			And if anything, it should increase our iman
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			and not decrease it.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			It should make us stronger as believers and
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			not make us weaker.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			The fact that they foretold that these things
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			are going to happen to the Muslim Ummah.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			Do the people think that they will be
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:03
			left alone
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			just because they say we believe
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			and that they won't be tested as a
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			result of this?
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			Rather we tested those who came before.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will know
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			who are those people who are truthful.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			And he will know those individuals who are
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:30
			the liars.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has told us
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			that these things are going to happen to
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			the Muslim Umma.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			These things are going to take place
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			and is to distinguish
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			between those who have iman and those who
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			don't have iman.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			Those who are the believers
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			and those who are the hypocrites.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			Those who have faith in Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:58
			ta'ala and have trust in Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			ta'ala. And those who forsake
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and don't have trust
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			in Allah Azza wa Jal.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			So that we can distinguish
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			between the 2.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			The fact that these trials happen
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			so that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can differentiate
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			between the chabith and between the tayib, between
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			the impure,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			between those people who are contaminated.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			The iman isn't there. They're hypocrites.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			They don't they don't have any love or
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			any sympathy for their Muslim brothers and sisters.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			And so that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			see the can
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			see the good, can see those people who
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			have some element of iman,
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			can see those people who have some mercy
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			and compassion.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			Those people who are the true believers of
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			These things happen so that Allah a zawajal
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			can distinguish between the 2. And so that
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			we as believers can tell who are the
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			true believers and who aren't the true believers.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			Who are helping the Muslim brothers and who
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			aren't helping the Muslim brothers and sisters.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			The messenger of Allah alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			when he went out to the battle of
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			Uhud
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			when he went out to the battle of
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			Uhud, he was around a 1,000 strong.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			On the way there,
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			before they went to the battleground,
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			around 300 of them
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			left. Around 300 of them left.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			And many of us would think this was
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			a problem.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			This is something which harmed the Muslims.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			This is something which was, you know, a
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			negative,
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			but rather it was a positive
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			because they saw
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			who were the true believers and who went.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			And so you learn lessons from these types
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			of situations.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			When you're at these critical moments, you see
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			who are the true believers and who aren't.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he says in
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			the Quran
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			that you are going to be tested
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00
			in your wealth.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			And in your own selves.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			And you for sure are going to hear
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			from the people of the book.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			1, from those who come at
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			Sheikh,
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			lots of abuse,
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			lots of harm,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			lots of insults.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			And if this isn't relevant and pertinent to
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			what's happening today,
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			then I don't know what it's relevant to.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			The fact that this is happening today,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			people are insulting us. People are harming us.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			People are mocking us. People are humiliating us.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has already told
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			us in the Quran that this is going
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			to happen, that you're going to hear from
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:45
			those people and they're going to be insulting
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			you and they're going to be harming you.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			But those people who are going to be
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			victorious
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			are those who will be
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			patient and those who will stick to the
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			Quran and the sunnah. And those who remember
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:01
			that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and his help,
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:01
			Allah
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			verily his help is close.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			It's going to happen.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			The messenger of Allah alaihi wa sallam also
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			mentioned
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:15
			that this situation will occur and that the
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			Muslims will be in a state of weakness.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			He said that there will be a time
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			when the nations are going to call each
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			other.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			They're going to call
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			each other just like they do when there's
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			food around.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			They're going to call each other and they're
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			going to set upon you. They're going to
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			attack you. And so it was said by
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			the companions,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			will it be because we are few in
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			number, oh Messenger of Allah? And the Messenger
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam he said
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			rather you're going to be many on that
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			day. There's going to be loads of you.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			You won't be weak with regards to your
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			number. You're going to be great in number,
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			but rather you're going to be like the
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			foam on the river. Meaning, you're not going
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			to be worth anything.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			Even though you're huge in number, the quantity
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			is there, but there's no quality with regards
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			to the Muslims who are living today.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			And he said Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			also remove the
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			fear of you from the hearts of your
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			enemies.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			They won't fear you anymore. And he'll throw
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			in your hearts.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			He'll throw in your hearts. And the companions,
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			they said, oh, messenger of Allah, what
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			is wahann? And the messenger of Allah salallahu
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			alaihi wa sallam, he said, love of this
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			world and hatred for
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			death. And this is exactly what's happening today.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			We have a love of this world.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			We wanna accumulate
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			and make lots
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			of money. You love wealth and excessive wealth,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			an extreme form of an extreme love an
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			extreme form of love.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that he
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			rectifies our affairs and the affairs of the
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			Muslims all over the world.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			Many of us when we see these incidents
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			happening all over the world and we see
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			these images and we see these videos,
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			it tugs at our heart strings.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			And we feel upset and we become emotional.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			And we want to do something.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			We want to go out and help those
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:28
			people.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			And I want to mention something
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			that all of us can do.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			Something that will help our Muslim brothers and
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			sisters wherever they may be in any part
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			of the world, in any country where the
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			Muslims are being persecuted and slaughtered.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			Something that we can do here.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:48
			Something
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			that every single one of us can do
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			sitting here today.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			Whether we're old or whether we're young, whether
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			we're male or female, whether we're strong or
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			whether we're weak, whether we have lots of
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			money or whether we don't have any money
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			at all to give in charity.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			Every single one of us has this weapon.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			This weapon that he can use. That if
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			every single one of us use this weapon,
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:14
			effectively,
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			it could change the whole face of the
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			Ummah. It could change the entire state of
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:19
			the
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			Muslim world today. And this weapon that every
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			single one of us possesses brothers and sisters
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			is dua,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			is supplication.
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			The scholars they said,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			Du'a is the weapon of the believer.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			There was once an oppressive Muslim ruler
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			who used to oppress the Muslims. He used
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			to harm the Muslims. Nobody liked him. He
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			was unjust.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			And once he was walking down the street
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			from the many towns and cities that he
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			had command over and authority over, and he
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			was wearing the best of clothes, and he
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			had guards around him, and he was walking
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			with pride and with arrogance, and there were
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			around him despising him because of the harm
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			that he had caused them.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			But they they couldn't do anything,
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			and he's walking down the street knowing that
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			they can't harm him, knowing that they can't
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17
			do anything. He himself has guards around him,
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			and he's walking with pride and with arrogance,
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			And nobody dares to say anything
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			except an old frail woman.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			She comes out of the crowd
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			and stands in front of him
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			and she says looking at him, pointing at
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			him, she says I'm going to make dua
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			against you.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			I'm going to supplicate to Allah.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			And this man in his pride and in
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			his arrogance, he laughs at her and he
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			walks away.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			And he turns around
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			and he says to this woman, he says,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			don't forget to make dua in the last
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			part of the night. And he walks off
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			because dua in the last part of the
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			night is accepted by Allah azzawajal.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			Sometime later,
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			this very same leader, this very same oppressive
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			leader is going down the same streets in
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			chains and in handcuffs.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			And the people are humiliating him. And the
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			guards are now taking him not as an
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			oppressive leader but as a prisoner.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			And he is being
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:15
			humiliated.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			And the same old woman comes out in
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			front of him. And she says to him,
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			I took your advice.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			So we can see see from this story
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:29
			brothers and sisters the power of dua.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			How many of us really supplicate to Allah
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			subhanahu wa ta'ala every single day for our
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			Muslim brothers and sisters all over the world?
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			How many of us when we pray and
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			when we when we're in Sajdah and we're
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			the closest we are to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			ta'ala while we're in Sajdah, while we're prostrating,
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			how many of us supplicate to Allah azza
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			wa Jal to ease the suffering of our
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			Muslim brothers and sisters all over the world?
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			How many of us really do this? And
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			I question myself before I question anybody else.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			How many of us wake up in the
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			middle of the night, in the last part
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			of the night, and supplicate to Allah azza
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			wa ta'ala to ease their suffering? It's easy
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			for us to say things.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			It's easy for us to share a quote
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			or a message
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:10
			online.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			But how many of us actually do something?
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			How many of us are actually acting
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			and making a difference
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			through our supplications,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			through our dua.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			How many of us are doing this? Really
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			sincerely think about this and ask yourselves brothers
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:25
			and sisters,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			how many of us are doing this on
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			a consistent basis?
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			It's one thing
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			doing it in one day of the week.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			For Jumaa when the khatib makes the dua
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			at the end of his khutbah, but it's
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			another thing doing it yourself
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			regularly and consistently
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			making dua for those people around you.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			that ease the suffering of our Muslim brothers
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			and sisters all over the world.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			So is straighten your rose.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			Straightening the roses from the perfection of the
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			A long walkabout.
