the beloved brothers and sisters in Islam.
And the last week.
And if you're following some of the news about the Muslim community across the United States, we were
giving to
EPA two news two different episodes that were so striking.
And one of them is a 22 year old, who was afflicted with a terminal cancer, who left a message to the family, to the community and to the entire Ummah, reminding everyone with
this life, what it means and his absolute satisfaction with what is coming. And he passed away, Rahim Allah
just few days after he left that message.
And then the other example that we were hit with was about a family that was faced with a major calamity. They lost
their daughter,
four or five years old, and a drowning accident.
And then, within a week later, as the family was going through this hard time,
the grandmother came to check on them.
And she found the father, the mother and the two remaining kids, or died in a suicide murder. Act. Walia Davila
and I'm not here to criticize anyone we ask Allah subhanaw taala not to test any of us the way they were tested.
But we
want to understand how come someone who has given a calamity in themselves
a hard one, a person who's got his entire life ahead of him 22 years old half of the Quran, among more either of the Quran, someone who used to lead taraweeh and then was afflicted with mostly battle mode with the calamity of death and showed the utmost sober.
And then someone was shaken to the core when they were hit with a major calamity as well.
The difference is the practice of server.
And that tells us we need to understand we need to learn we need to comprehend what a server is about what is server.
What types of server we have to train ourselves
to practice and how we become of a father in
a sovereign brothers and sisters is something that Allah subhanaw taala commanded
us to have your your Alladhina amanu. It is a kin to Eman. Yo Yo Latina Fabio are you who believe
practice Southern
and sober sometimes it's translated as patients but it is more than that suburb goes deeper into an act of faith and act of Eman. A sub Rumina called, it is of the deeds of the heart. And it's also the deeds of the tongue. And also it's the deed of our faculties that Allah subhanaw taala has given us
and the supper is a type of a bed.
Those who practice supper are becoming closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala
and Allah will reward those who are a sovereign immensely. Why Jnana yoga sabe Runa I drove home the lady he served
as sober
as a type of a guy that just like the rest of the bed at a Salah, a song al Hajj and all the bad ads we have in our religion, the linguistic meaning of the bad
matches what the bad is all about. For example, a Salah
a Salah, we know what Salah is, but linguistically, the salah is a connection, a communion, a filler, meanwhile, Salah for Salah
it's when we connect, that is Sunnah and when we pray and connect with Allah subhanho wa Taala there the salah.
Same thing for a data of Zika
Zika we know it's paying the two and a half percent or whatever is the commodity is the percentage to into charity to the needy people. But linguistically, the Zika means purification. Cleansing, a cleanse the heart from greed, a cleanse the heart from being attached to the dunya. It cleanses the society from envy from crime. It's an act of cleansing on many, many multiple levels. A sufferer is just like those three bad that it also has a linguistic meaning and the meaning of a solver is perhaps if you go to the origin of the word sabara means habits to hold back to key to restrain to contain.
And the old man said a server is nothing but restraining our heart from going into a state of panic when a calamity occurs. Or restraining our heart from falling into sins from falling into haram.
Restraining our heart to practice. What Allah subhanho wa Taala commanded
and also to restrain our tongue
from saying things that Allah does not like to hear at the time of a calamity when it occurs to the believers, restraining our tongues from saying haram restraining our tongues from saying anything that does not satisfy ALLAH SubhanA wa taala. And that's why the ultimate set of sober
is three types.
Sovereign Allah thought,
it is a suburb,
to practice the obedience of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
that needs southern there needs endurance, that also needs a state of the heart, that will be steadfast for the Tao of Allah subhanho wa taala. The state of the tongue that always mentions Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, instead of the faculties of Jawara that always in obedience of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
and then his sovereign Anil Bihar him to hold back to restrain ourselves from committing haram. And again starts from the heart
and then into the other faculties into the tongue into the eyes, restraining our eyes, restraining our hearing, restraining our hands from doing holding something haram from reaching something haram restraining our feet from walking to something haram that needs sub.
And you can see how somebody leads to every act of charity, every act of goodness, every act of Eman and there is the supper that we talk about the most. And that is a supper from at the time of a calamity. When and we'll see what happens when Allah subhanho wa Taala test us
Allah subhanho wa Taala promises that we will be tested that this whole creation that our life on Earth
and higher to dunya
Hala culture will hire Leah blue accom Allah subhanaw taala created life and death just so we can have a test we have a Bella and sometimes Allah subhanaw taala will test us with a very with with Colette with prosperity and Allah subhanaw taala may test us with adversity and both needs solver when a blue pill hiring machinery fitna.
A test can come in many different ways. We identify always with the calamity, that is a masiva that is something that is bad that would hit us because that requires an immense strength, but also we have to understand that when we are tested with with the prosperity when we are given that is a test and sometimes that test is very hard.
When Allah subhanaw taala gives us wealth, when Allah subhanaw taala gives us any knowledge when Allah subhanaw taala gives us intellect, intellect, when Allah Subhana Allah grant is families, children of spring's spouses, this is all a test from ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala to see what we would do with it.
And all of that requires to understand what the slavery is all about. But the supper that occurs when a calamity has happened
is a special
category of that solver.
And that software needs to be practiced in a state of shock and a state when we are shaking.
When we are being tested in sometimes the hardest way that we can imagine.
And one time rasool Allah salAllahu alayhi wa sallam passed by a woman standing by a fresh grave
weeping wailing
in a state of absolute Jezza absolute
grief.
inconsolable
screaming out
and Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam came close to her. And he said yeah Matala is very
servant of Allah slave of Allah. My sister, be patient practice Sabha. And she said that Kenny, leave me alone. She did not know who this person was. She did not know some allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said leave me alone Dhaka and if I am to blame him actually to be
you are have not been tested the way I'm tested. She just lost her son.
And indeed, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was tested not only once, not twice, not three times, not four times but five times in his lifetime by losing his children and burying them and burying his grandchildren, in his lifetime from Allah Azza wa sallam. So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was not giving her the advice out of
mere
just advising her he practiced this hola Honeyville Salam he was the role model and solver. Then the woman
was told by the other Sahaba this was Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, how would you respond to him like that? So she goes to him she goes to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and she said yeah rasool Allah did not know who you are. And then he said this hadith, he said in nama sabrewing the submittal Allah sobered needs to be practice when you are in the state of that first shock. And that's why sober
is hard.
In Arabic language, sometimes the subber equals bitterness, because to have it, supper is bitter is a very hard thing to swallow. But that's what Allah subhanho wa Taala wanted us to to practice.
And when a calamity occurs, when anything bad happens to us, masala Avia.
The human being has only one out of four things that they can do for states that we fall into a state of a calamity and the state of Florida and the state of a disaster that afflicts us.
The first one
is at the heart,
the response of those who will not practice over.
It's not fair.
Why this happened to me, why me?
And then they will go into a state of Jezza into a state of despair into a state of absolute depression.
And that is not the response that Allah subhanho wa Taala likes.
As if we are accusing Allah Subhana Allah to Allah so when he sent this Messiah, that He is not fair
and Allah subhanaw taala says this test that are hard sometimes, but it's not something that we cannot handle. Like you can live for long enough sun in Laos haha. Allah will not bear on a soul on a human being. Anything that they cannot handle.
I just the wisdom and the knowledge of Allah subhanho wa Taala Yes, we can be shaken. Yes, we can be tested very hard nuts Allah Allah, Allah Sophia, but Allah will not send us a test that we cannot handle.
So that is the state that we don't want to be in. And then the state that is above it, is the state of silver when we hold when we restrain when we don't say it's not fair when we don't complain about the destiny of Allah subhanho wa taala, about the coder of Allah subhanho wa Taala
and that solver is to be rewarded. But there is a state beyond that. There is a state even above that. And that is the state of Florida,
of actually being satisfied, being at absolute peace with the calamity that occurs as if it never happened. And sometimes Allah you see this and I've thought I and many of you probably seen people like that with our own eyes, they lose a child, they lose his son, they lose a spouse that they love so much.
And then you see them at absolute peace,
at complete satisfaction, and tranquility that comes from Allah subhanaw taala and from the faith that is within and that is the state of rainbow. But there are Allah said there is even a state beyond that is when a calamity happens. A person is in a state of hand instead of praising Allah.
And in state of complete not only satisfaction but in and happiness was Allah subhanho wa Taala not happy with the muesli but mostly basil mostly bad disaster a calamity is a calamity. We are human beings we feel the pain
and condemn
the alarm would offend now Noemi Ala Moana
that we all feel the pain those who practice suffer and those who have suffered those who are satisfied with the fate of Allah and those who are not are not they both, they both can be afflicted by the same pain. It is the response to the pain is how we respond to what happened to us.
It's not being sad for them, we'll see but we notice all allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he was afflicted with the death of his infant son, Ibrahim, he was tearing up.
And the Sahaba looked at him and they sat and
asked him what is that you're rasool Allah. And he said in the line, Allah take them out.
Indeed, the eyes would share tears and the heart would feel sorrow. That's a normal human reaction. But we don't say what Allah does not like to hear what are the law.
So the state of sun, the state of being satisfied and not not resentful. That appreciation for Allah subhanaw taala at the time of Musa
we can embody that in the words of Pablo the Allahu Anhu. It's an effort another Hadith that Rama Radi Allahu Anhu said, every calamity that occurs to me, everything bad that happens to me, I always find at least four things. Four things that I can ask that I can I can thank Allah and praise Allah for the first is the calamity that occurs, it could have been worse,
will lie every calamity could have been worse. Some people may lose a business, but they could have lost their business and their home and their family. Some people may lose a child and that's a huge calamity.
But they might lose lose the entire family.
Shake was speaking about a person yesterday who has five children and lost two of them in a car wreck and an accident. Nurse Allah Allah here, to have to have said is his most favorite two sons.
They died at the same time. And then at the janazah they looked at him and he was at peace. And he said and they said, Yeah, Allah, Allah Jrock We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to give you patience, and he said Allah subhanaw taala blessed me with five he took two but he left me three.
Every calamity can be worse.
So Omar said every
calamity is deserving of the Hand of Allah subhanho wa Taala that it's not worse than what it was. And we have to always remember that when something happens, someone may lose a limb. But some people become quadriplegic they lose the function of their entire body. Every calamity can be worse brothers and sisters.
The second thing that the calamity that occurs, it was not a it's not in our deen. It didn't affect our Eman. It did not take us away
from faith to be an unfaithful
from Iman to Kufa
and that is one of the three things that if human beings have the slave of Allah subhanho wa Taala has will taste the sweetness of Eman
that they would the worst thing that would happen to those who will taste the sweetness of Eman is to lose Eman.
Not anything else in this life. And then the third thing that Omar said we would praise Allah subhanho wa Taala when the calamity happens, is in every calamity we remember Allah subhanho wa Taala more we actually become closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala we always mentioned ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
to ask Allah Subhana Allah to give us strength to give his patience to bless the rest of our of our belongings or our families.
And then the fourth thing
it is the swab is what comes as a reward when a calamity happens.
And the third is immense brothers and sisters when we practice sober and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us suffer sabe rune the FRB rule in the
original home
How would you like it to face Allah Subhana Allah to Allah on the day of judgment, and everybody is standing before he seven Meezan and for the suburb that we practiced in this dunya we get a direct entry to Jana.
We direct without accountability,
without reckoning,
but that takes a lot takes the heart to be patient takes the tongue to be patient and take our faculties to be patient. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make yourself a sovereign. l Mursaleen. Alladhina Runa Allah Allah Allah Allah subhana wa Taala Ravi that he will Hamidi in Allah Akula Kohli has suffered hula halau Denali welcome Farah 1000 was suffering.
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Germain
the reward of sober is immense brothers and sisters, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says about every reward in Acura
you Jonel warfighter Bhima Subaru, salaam aleikum Beemers overtone, Sanjana, Aqua da always the people of Jana being reminded you were given this because you practice solver
you are where you are today. In genetic for those close to Allah subhanaw taala because of solver
so how can we learn solver? What if someone says I'm not strong enough? I don't find that strength in me. I need to be prepared, because we will be tested one way or the other.
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in this hadith whereby yet a sub bar, your sub your Hola,
Wilma or TIA I had an upper and Chiron Minato Saba, it's an agreed upon Hadith in Al Bukhari and Muslim that those who practice and train themselves to have sovereign
will be given sovereign.
So when the shark comes when a submit an Ola comes, we are prepared
psychologically, spiritually. We are ready
to show ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala what he likes to see.
So how do we learn sober brothers and sisters, our A Baghdad in general, every rebar that we practice is a training for saba. While more Allah cabbie Salah it was thought that Allah Salah need someone to maintain it to preserve it to do it in the right way. That takes endurance.
A song
fasting is nothing but a practice of sovereign
if a sovereign is restraining holding and habits during Psalm we
practice habits we practice. We practice restraining not only from eating and drinking and the things that we need for living, but also we practice to restrain our tongues from haram, from labor from the Mima from Khabib.
We restrain our eyes from looking at anything haram. We restrain our ears from hearing labor and Amina or anything that is haram.
A psalm is nothing but a practice of suburb brothers and sisters. And that's why so Yama, Ramadan, but also cm naskila They have the additional fasting is a training for southern
and then a sub Rolla GEMA. To be part of the community to be actually adherence to the community.
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reminded us
to be with the community to be with the group of Muslims and be harmed and then be patient to the harm that happens to you. Because when we interact with people, Miss happens, we'll some things will happen. We'll have misunderstandings we'll have conflict. So someone may say I would like to stay away from all of this. I'm just gonna just stay away from all of this. And I don't want to I don't want to have any trouble. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, No, you interact, you become part of a community, you become part of the GEMA. And if you are hurt, that is the practice of Sabah.
And then, the important part of being in the gemera is what Allah subhanho wa Taala reminded us in Surah, to Lhasa and will that I will conclude that when we practice Sobor collectively we are stronger, what our soul will happy. What I was told the sub ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala told us that we strengthen our each other with silver, when someone is in a state of weakness, and they have a brother or if the sister is in a state of calamity, and they have and she has sisters around her that are believers. They will strengthen her. They will strengthen you. They will make you more patient and more strong. And that's why brothers and sisters we have to learn how to practice
supper. So if a calamity happens, we don't go into a state of panic. murder suicide is a very painful thing, not only for the family that is afflicted with it, but it's also for the entire community. Wallahi the pain of that calamity has been felt throughout North America.
We ask Allah subhana wa Tada al Afia We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us have a sovereignty and a shaker in Allah Allah Subhana Allah Allah.
