Fatima Lette – Patience

00:00:12 --> 00:00:17

			Today's topic is patience. Allah
SWT says in the Quran was dying
		

00:00:17 --> 00:00:21

			over sovereign was Salah to seek
help through patience and salah
		

00:00:21 --> 00:00:25

			and prayer, wainma, Hala, Kabir,
tuna, il da Allah, the HA she eat.
		

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

			And indeed, it is difficult,
except for those of except for the
		

00:00:29 --> 00:00:34

			humbly submissive to Allah. What
Allah swt is teaching us about
		

00:00:34 --> 00:00:38

			seeking patience, seeking help,
and the way that we are to deal
		

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

			with the different issues and
situations that come up in our
		

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45

			life, he says, But Sabri was Salah
by means of patience and by means
		

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

			of Salah. When we talk about the
word SABR, we translate it in the
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

			same way that I just translated in
this opening statement, by saying
		

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

			patience, when really SABR is
about enduring and pushing through
		

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

			the difficulty. It doesn't mean
that when the storm is storming,
		

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

			you just sit in the rain. It means
that you push through, and that
		

00:01:05 --> 00:01:09

			pushing through means that you are
able to go through those
		

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

			difficulties and move through the
storm and the hardship that you're
		

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

			experiencing by means and by the
help of Allah, that you turn to
		

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

			your Lord, and you seek His you
seek His help, and then you seek
		

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

			His mercy. You seek His
compassion, and you know that
		

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

			there's going to be life light at
the end of the tunnel, even if you
		

00:01:28 --> 00:01:32

			don't realize, or you're not sure
when that ease will come. The
		

00:01:32 --> 00:01:38

			perfect example for the one who
who shows us exactly what it means
		

00:01:38 --> 00:01:42

			to exhibit patience, especially in
a time of very in a time of
		

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

			intense difficulties. Yakub Ali
Salam, the Yakub alaihi salam
		

00:01:46 --> 00:01:50

			deals with a very intense
situation where his son has now
		

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

			been he doesn't know if his son is
dead. Yusuf alaihi salam. He
		

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

			doesn't know Salam has been
kidnapped. He doesn't know exactly
		

00:01:58 --> 00:02:02

			what's happened, what has happened
to Yusuf alaihi salam, and when
		

00:02:02 --> 00:02:06

			the brothers of Yusuf alaihi salam
come to yawg and tell him that he
		

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

			died, Yakub alaihissam doesn't
believe them, but he also knows
		

00:02:10 --> 00:02:16

			that he can't prove otherwise. So
instead, he tells them that FASD
		

00:02:16 --> 00:02:21

			that I'm going to exhibit a
beautiful patience while Allah and
		

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

			God is the helper or the
assistant, and God is the one
		

00:02:24 --> 00:02:29

			who's whose help is sought. And
the interesting thing is that
		

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

			Yakub alai Salam did mourn the
difficulty that he was going
		

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38

			through. He cried so much that he
went blind. He He made the offer
		

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

			Yusuf alay Salam, he asked about
Yusuf alai Salam, and then he
		

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

			became even more protective with
his younger child. And so this is
		

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

			such an interesting thing, because
a lot of times when we think about
		

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

			patience, we think is not to admit
that life is difficult. It's not
		

00:02:52 --> 00:02:58

			to admit that hardships come and
go. Rather, patience is being able
		

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

			to get through that difficulty,
get through that hardship while
		

00:03:01 --> 00:03:06

			recognizing that Allah is the One
who you seek help from, which is
		

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

			why the next part of the ayah says
bere was salah. Now that you have
		

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

			examined your situation, you
recognize that it's difficult, the
		

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19

			way that you're able to exhibit
and push through and actually have
		

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

			patience is by your Salah, and
that is seeking help from Allah.
