			Any man who calls on a law

			or woman who calls on a law in prayer will be answered.

			It is either granted in advance in this life, or stored
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			for him or her in the next life.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			As long as there is a condition
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			as long as he or she does not pray for something sinful.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:28
			As long as they don't pray for something sinful, or for breaking family ties.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			Or for breaking family ties.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:40
			mother and dad are upset with son or daughter and they pray to Allah
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			to break those family ties not accepted by Allah.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:57
			And as long as he or she is not impatient,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			as long as he or she is not impatient.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:12
			When the companions of the Prophet SAW, Selim asked him, How is one impatient with regards to da
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:21
			How is one impatient He replied, by saying, I called on my Lord, and He did not answer my prayer for
me.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:28
			I called on my Lord, and He did not answer my prayer for me.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			So one who expresses this
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:40
			will not have their prayer answered. impatience in da
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:50
			will cancel our laws accepting that law. That is how serious impatience can be.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			We all
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			know as Muslims that
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			Gratitude and patience are basic principles, which each and every one of us must develop.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:17
			They were exemplified in the life of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:41
			When he prayed at night, till his ankles were swollen, and his wife, companions asked him, Why are
you doing this to yourself when ALLAH is forgiving your sins of the past and the sins of the future?
And he said, What? Shouldn't I be a thankful servant?
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			Shouldn't I be a thankful servant?
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			This was the way of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			when he went to carry the message to tarrif,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:03
			relatives of his there, stoned him, chased him out of the city and stoned him.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			stoning him until blood, clogged his sandals.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:18
			And when he was given the option to have that city destroyed,
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			what did he say?
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:27
			Perhaps they would come maybe leaving people from their children.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:36
			He was patient, you and I, if that happened to us, we would have told the angel Yes, wipe them out.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			But Prophet Mohammed says alum
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:47
			looked positively into the future, saying perhaps a believing people would come from among them.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			So gratitude and patience
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:03
			should be a part of our characters. as Muslims, it should be practically demonstrated in our
families.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			It should be practically demonstrated in our communities.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			On the world scale,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:21
			there is so much which could be said about the importance of gratitude.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			Muslims today unfortunately,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			with wealth,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			they have not shown gratitude.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:46
			Instead, that wealth is used to enjoy, so busy enjoying that they have forgotten that this is from
Allah Subhana Allah. So they squander that wealth,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			and all kinds of corruption
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			instead of using it, to spread the word of a law
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			and to relieve a lot of servants in the earth.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			Similarly,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:18
			in times of difficulty when it comes, instead of depending on the believers,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			they depend on the disbelievers.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:30
			They make the disbelievers their friends and their allies instead of the believers.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:38
			This is in gratitude and impatience on a international scale.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			But taking it back down to the individual,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:50
			how does one develop gratitude?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			If we are by nature,
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			on thankful, thankless,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:21
			we have to be reminded, even as little children, we have to teach our children to be thankful.
Otherwise, you give them something they will take it then they're gonna finish. They got it. That's
what's important. I got it. But we have to teach them, train them raise them to be thankful.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:45
			So how do we if we have reached adulthood, and we don't display proper gratitude in our lives, how
do we bring it into our lives because we need to understand practically how we can change ourselves
to make a difference. Well,
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			for gratitude, fundamentally,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:58
			it involves recognition of our laws, favorites, as the law said, and so on.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			As I said in short,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:14
			Omar become mania Martin Femina law, whatever blessings
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			you have, are from Allah.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			Whatever blessings you have,
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			are from Allah.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:41
			In Surah Al ahzab verse nine. Yeah, you're Latina, amanu oscura Yamato la de la come, or you will
believe. Remember our laws favor on you.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
