00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			Apology for the delay,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			but we have a dilemma to pray Maghreb
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			or not to pray Maghreb, basically.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			So what I decided
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			next week we're gonna do, we'll go back
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			to 7.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			So at least we finish and we'll pray.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			Right? Because it's I was literally running to
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			get here. And, of course, every traffic almost
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			was red, but half of them were red.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			So just
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			a reminder for everybody, Insha'Allah, next week we'll
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			move to back to 7, and then the
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			program today because it's 10 points, I don't
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			think I'll finish half of it, so inshallah
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			will be part 1 today, and then if
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			Allah
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			will be part 2 next week.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			So,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			of course,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			we're gonna
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			keep reminding ourselves
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			about what is happening in the world around
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			us and let alone in Gaza. I don't
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			want anyone of us, number 1 me, is
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			to just becomes
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			the norm. Oh, Gaza again.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Okay. You know, we get bored. Human beings
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			get bored, and we get very much used
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			to it. Even if you go to the
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			news now,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			right, like, if you see, everything is now
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			becoming more important. Like, I I looked this
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			morning, and at least it was number 7
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			or 8,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			although when I got a text from Gaza
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			was a really bad night.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			So for us, at least, we really need
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			to keep reminding ourselves,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			reminding, thinking of them, making dua for them,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			see what you you can do, and then
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			keep talking about it. And on Sunday, subhanAllah,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			I arrived home, and the first thing I
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			get when I opened my phone was a
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			text from Gaza saying,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			please tell all the pass this to all
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			the team.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			Alhamdulillah,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			biameen. Even if we're not gonna do anything
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			that we see, but at least we are
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			making them happy
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			and making them feel that they there's people
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			who care about them. Anytime, any of us,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			especially when you feel lonely or you're alone,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			and suddenly you feel or you see text
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			message or a phone call or somebody says
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			something that there's somebody cares about you.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			You're not the only one. Let alone if
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			you are living the way they are living
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			and all this
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			suffering they are going through. So keep doing
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			it. Don't
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			feel tired, don't feel bored, and don't feel
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			hopeless or helpless.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			Both is not allowed.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			Absolutely hopeful,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			latayi suma rahillah
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			and which is one of the verses that
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			I kept reminding myself and they reminded me
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			of it. And the other thing is never
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			feel helpless. There is always things you can
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			do. You have a tongue. You have a
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			brain. Then you can do something. You have
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			a hand. You can type. You can do
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			something.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			Right? I mean, you're seeing how many things
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			have changed. Yes. It took 7 months,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			but it's
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			changing. Right? I mean, you all are reading
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			about what is going on in Colombia.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			This is unheard
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			of. This is unheard of
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			8 months
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			ago. Right? And who's doing it? It's the
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			students.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			So keep keep doing it. Say you Allah,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			it's the time you decide not to me,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			but I know
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			this is gonna happen.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			So what I wanna share with you, I
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			was, like, just debating, do I go by
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			the Quran or I go by the way
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			I felt and I saw?
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			I'm gonna go by the way I felt
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:35
			and I saw.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			And the first thing which is the following,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			and, subhanAllah,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			many are reaching out now that a lot
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			of people wants to go to Gaza.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			I can't tell you how many text messages
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			I got since I came back.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			So far, what we know is only the
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			people who are in the medical field or
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			very few exceptions.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			Right?
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			However, I wanna say this to everybody. If
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			you really wanna go
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			and Allah did not allow you, you will
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			get the reward.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			It's not like you're faking it. You really
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			wanted to go and you couldn't go whatever
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			the reason, even if you were in the
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			medical field and you couldn't go,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			then Allah will reward you. There is a
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			hadith of Rasul alaihi salatu wa sallam anytime
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			you need you wanna do something and then
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			something happens and stopped you and you really
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			feel bad about it,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			remember this hadith. He was coming back from
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			Uzwah Tabuk, from Tabuk Expedition, and he was
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			coming back to Medina, he was looking at
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			Medina and the sahabba around him, the companions,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			right, and he looked at them and says
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			They're in the city of Medina.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			There are people living there. They didn't go
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			with them. They were coming back.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			Anytime you're gonna go up or you're gonna
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			go down,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			meaning whenever you are in and out in
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:52
			the journey,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			right,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			they will get the same reward.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			And of course the Sahaba looked at him
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			and
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			says They're staying there. They didn't go through
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			any of the difficulties we went through,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			and he said
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			The reason they didn't come out
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:14
			because
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			they had an excuse that prevented them, not
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			an excuse they made because the munafiqeen, the
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			hypocrites, that's what they do
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			we're busy with our children and our wealth,
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			those they really wanted,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			so anytime you're really planning to do something
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			for the sake of Allah, you took all
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			the measures, you really want to do it
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put a block
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			and this is what they kept, the first
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			thing they kept reminding us from the moment
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			they said, all the papers are ready. Book
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			your ticket. This is how we know it
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:45
			is happening,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			It was Wednesday, and we are flying on
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:49
			Saturday.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			They said book your ticket. Still with booking
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			the ticket, they said.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			Still, you may not go.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			And I kept reminding myself of this hadith.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			So for those of you who really I
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			mean, I had you the other day came
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			to me and says, how can I go
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:05
			to
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			Allah insha'Allah will reward everyone
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			according to their
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			niyyah, according to your intention? So the first
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			thing I wanna
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			remind everybody is there's a verse in Surah
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			Al Nahal. It's a 3 verses together, but
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			who the last one is is what I
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			wanna focus on, but I have to tell
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			you because the the one before because usually
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			you need to know the concept why.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			Right? Allah is talking about the
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			the disbelievers.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			They made an oath,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			very forceful oath. Allah always says
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			with a lot of of efforts.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			Allah will not give life to those who
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			died.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			And you normally you stop here because the
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			next is Allah is answering.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:06:59
			Yes, he
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:01
			will.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:03
			Right? Why?
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			There, they will find out
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			that who was right, who was wrong.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			And
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			those who are disbelievers, they know they were
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			liars.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			This is not about Gaza. Now
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			the one that I actually lived with it
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			as we were in that
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			car going,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			like, going in that trip. We haven't yet
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:29
			arrived.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			Our saying
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			lishay into anything
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			idha
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			oradna, if we wanted.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			An nakkoolalahu,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			we just say
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			be
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			and it
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			is be
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			done. Why I'm saying this? Because this you
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			can apply it
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			as you are in the trip or during
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			or when you are leaving.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			It is all under Allah control,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			And even when you read the commentary on
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			this verse, they tell you Allah allows it.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			SubhanAllah. I was reading and I was like
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			SubhanAllah. I mean, Imam al Tabari when he
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			wrote it, he didn't even know there is
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			anything that's gonna happen in Gaza, but he
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			was saying when Allah wants something,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			he doesn't have to do anything.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:25
			And
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			this is very common commentary on this
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			Kun for those of you who know Arabic
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:32
			is
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			and doesn't take a breath,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			They say the order of Allah,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			not only the order, not only allowing it,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			but happens, done,
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			the same space between this kaafnoon, this letter
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			and this letter, how much space?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			Nothing. Nothing literally. Kun, ka noon.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			They say all the matter of Allah is
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			between this.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			What did I learn?
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			If Allah wanted the war to stop, he
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			would have done it.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			Now that doesn't mean Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			would want these people to die
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			or to suffer,
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			but how do I respond?
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			He has a wisdom.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			That's when
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			things doesn't make sense externally,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			I need the names of Allah,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			I need the names of Allah because the
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			names of Allah are chain,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			it's not one here or one there, they're
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			all connected,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			for example as we study Surat Youssef if
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			you remember the most common two names
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			and Surat Yousaf is Al Aleem Al Hakim
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			All Knowing All Wise. So if Allah wanted
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			this not to start,
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			He doesn't need to, subhanAllah, for you and
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			me to take a birth.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			If He wants this to stop, He would,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			but there is a reason. I don't know.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			Maybe most of us will not know but
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			that doesn't mean there isn't a reason
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			1 2 the reason is very good
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			but I don't know it because it's way
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			beyond
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			my
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			comprehension.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			3,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			whenever you want to do something and you
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			took all the measures and you really worked
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			on it, don't someone looks at you and
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			says it's impossible.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			Don't you ever take this word.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			The response, natural response for you and me,
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			if Allah wanted this gonna happen,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			which I never thought I will be able
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			to enter to go to Gaza, to be
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			honest with you. I didn't even
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			I mean, I wanted, but like many of
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			us we wanted, but really it's gonna happen.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			I mean, I've visited Palestine so many times
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:39
			before,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			and every time I wanna go I every
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			time I go on there and I say
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			I wanna go to Gaza, the response right
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			away is no this is this is very
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			difficult we're not gonna go there.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			There was no word, there was nothing, so
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			peace was what you hear, ghazah, before October
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			7. But when Allah wanted it,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			which is very difficult,
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			He made it happen,
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			and he made it happen. I didn't. He
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			made it happen within 2 days,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			and that's not even I mean, kompe yukon
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			is even shorter.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			So you and as we were there and
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			I was looking at everybody there and all
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			the tragedies and all the things, and I
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			was like you Allah,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			if you want this all can change,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			but I'm not questioning your wisdom.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			Just show us
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			or keep us going, and this is what
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			we all need to know, just keep going
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			that Allah is allowing it to happen and
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:38
			he's allowing it to continue for a reason,
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			and that's actually you hear it from them
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			not from me.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			So one of the things you keep saying,
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			they keep reminding you,
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			Allah allowed it to happen,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			there is a hikmah,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			there is a reason for that, I bring
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			this and apply it on my life because
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			that's why it is 10 lessons from the
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			Quran I learned in Gaza, but what does
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			it mean here? I don't live in Gaza.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			For each one of us in this room,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			remember this, when you want something, it's not
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			you gonna do it.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			That mean
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			he didn't want it, period.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			Stop arguing
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			and stop blaming
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:22
			who?
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			Others,
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			someone,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			somebody, a human being, my boss,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			my spouse, my children, stop it.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			Just learn
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			Qadrallama
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			Shafa Haj. Allah decree and what he decree
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			it's gonna happen, he just didn't want it,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			and if you're really feeling uncomfortable about it
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			talk to him and says you Allah show
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:45
			me,
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			I know there is a wisdom behind this.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			It's just very difficult for me to swallow
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			it. And one thing I want to all
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			of you, if it is very difficult for
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			me and you to swallow it, and we
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			are living here in our comfort zone, what
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			do you think they are?
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			What do you think they are? I mean,
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			I got text messages on Sunday after I
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			came back from there. I mean, I was
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:08
			like,
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			I definitely need these messages. Like, we're supposed
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			we should send these messages.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			Right? They send you back.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			And even one of them says remember that
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			verse we talked about? Don't forget that verse.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			And I'm gonna maybe today or next week
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			I'll share it with you, and they reminded
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			me on the verse. So the first thing
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			is
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			Kun Fayakoon, he allowed it to happen, he
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			allowed me and whoever is going, alhamdulillah, went
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			and came back and now going, and then
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			if he wants to stop it, he will
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:38
			stop it.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			The second one which I heard it again
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			and again and again and again in the
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			Tarawih,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			As I said to you last week,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			they have fiqh of the Quran. They not
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			only they memorize the Quran, they have the
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			fiqh, they know the Quran
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:56
			because
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			they don't read too long, they read maybe
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			a 2 or 3 verses, but every verse
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			is related to what they are going through,
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			and the first one I heard that as
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			we arrived,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			literally as we arrived and we entered they
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			were playing the Isha and we went,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			and is the following which is in Surat
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			Al Baqar, so 3 of them
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			Many of you know this verse.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			Oh, who you believe, for the young generation
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			or those who don't know Arabic,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			all you who believe, you and me,
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			pay attention to the words Allah use, especially
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			those of you who know Arabic. What does
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:45
			mean?
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			Seek
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			help. What does seek help mean?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			I need help,
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			right?
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			That means what I am going through I
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			can do it with what I have. I
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			need help.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			I need something external to help me, and
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			what did he say? Sa'in will be Sabri
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			Sabri here patience,
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			some scholar tells you is fasting,
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			was salaas sala
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			in Allahama as Sabri
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			Allahuvali
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			is with
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			those who are patient,
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:18
			meaning
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			they practice patience.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			Let's take it 1 by 1 because again
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			I heard this all the time there,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			and I was like SubhanAllah,
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			You hala Adhina aamanu all of us,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			when I say sTa'inu as I said just
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			a little bit meaning
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			most of the things
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			if not all of the things we cannot
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			do it at all.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			And this is very opposite to the day
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			and age we are living,
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			especially for the youth. When do they teach
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:48
			you?
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			I can do it, it's mine,
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			I did it,
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			I didn't,
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:58
			I didn't. Allah puts barakah, blessing, in my
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			efforts
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			because there's 10 people like me put the
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			same efforts, but they couldn't.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			It's not because they couldn't, Allah didn't allow
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			it,
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			so ista'inu be sabri, why?
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			And he is not talking about anything,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			this verse later on is he's gonna explain
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			why he said this.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			When do I need patient?
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			When do I need to import if you
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			wanna use the word Import
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			patient or remind myself you need to be
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			patient. When?
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			When?
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			In difficult times. Right?
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			That's it?
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:37
			No.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			When it is also going your way.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			When it is going your way,
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			everything in life is the way you want
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			it. You applied to this job, you got
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			it. You want to get married, you did.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			Your husband is the best one. Your children,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			mashaAllah, TabarakAllah.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			You want to go anything you want, you
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			want to buy the house, Allah sent it,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			made it easy.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			You need patience.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			Why? Everything going my way.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			Anybody knows? Because we all think of patient
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			is when I go through difficult times,
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			but why do I need patient when I
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			am here so I can absolutely understand? The
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			people in Gaza, of course they need to
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			be patient,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			but why do I need to be patient
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			here?
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			Living comfortable.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:26
			Why?
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			Yes? Because you never know whenever if you
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			ever go to the same
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			I never know things can change. That's true.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:35
			But
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			Because we we believe that everything is happening,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			because of the still we don't have we
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			feel like we have a control over this
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			life. So we feel we have a control
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			over us, but we don't.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			No, there is bigger one, applies to us.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			Asabra I Badha, of course, it's act of
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			worship, But I I I'm giving you the
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			clue. The clue is I'm living here.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			I need patience
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			when I am living in prosperity
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			to stay on the right path,
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			to stay on the right path
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			because nirma,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:12
			blessings,
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			prosperity,
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			getting everything you want,
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			sooner or later
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			will take you away from Allah.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			A sabru,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			and this is just a quote about sabru,
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			about patient. There's 3 kinds of patients.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			Scholars will teach you this. Sabr
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:34
			on
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			a calamity, people
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			Sabr al al Masiyyah I need to be
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			patient not to disobey Allah and there is
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			Sabr al Ata'a I need to be patient
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			to obey Allah For those of you who
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			fasted yesterday,
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			how easy it was.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			It wasn't,
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			right? Honestly, it wasn't. I was like, I
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			kept reminding myself you just fasted 30 days,
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			but it wasn't, SubhanAllah.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			And you needed to keep reminding yourselves, ta'eemu
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:04
			Bissabriwasala,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			Allah loves fasting, 6 days of shawah, all
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			these to keep going, but it wasn't easy.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			I need patient.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			Which one is the hardest one?
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			The people of Gaza
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			or us?
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			Absolutely us.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			Because to be patient
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			and keep obeying Allah,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			keep fasting when everything around you is available
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			is way harder.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			So Ramadan, that's what we have in Ramadan.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			I need to be patient,
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			remind myself
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			of everything
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			good,
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			and I need salah to keep me connected
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			because I can't be patient unless I'm connected
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			to Allah. In case you wonder why these
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			2 together.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			Right? Why didn't Allah
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			Because I need these 2. The more my
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			salah, the more I'm connected with Allah. The
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			more I am connected, the more I am
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:01
			patient.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			You all know this verse. Right?
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			What does it mean?
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			Allah is with those who are patient. What
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			does it mean?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			You all know the verse. Anybody doesn't know
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			this verse in this room? Everybody, show me
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			hands. You all know the verse?
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			What does it mean?
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			In Allahama Sabri means what?
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			What does it mean Allah is with me?
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			Of course Allah
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			with us, and of course Allah is seeing
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			us and hearing us, but what does it
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			mean when He says Inallaha
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			specifically?
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			So if we are here, all of us,
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			only one person is real patient
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			in the sight of Allah. Allah is with
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			her,
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			but Allah also with us,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			but with her especially.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			What does it mean? Yes?
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			I'm sorry. I yeah?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			You can perceive him and you're connected with
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			him. That's true, but it's deeper than that.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			Hadima'i
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			al Khasa they call it. For you to
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			know when you when you read in the
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			Quran Ma'a with there is two kinds of
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			Ma'a. There's 2 kinds when Allah is with
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			me. There is a general
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			Allah with all of us,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			and there's a special
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			Sayyidna Musa
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			when all the people behind him
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			were so
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:21
			afraid,
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			that is it. They are behind us. They're
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			gonna come and catch us. What did he
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			respond? He said,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			My Lord is with me. He is gonna
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			guide me.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			You all know this? What is the next
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			the next verse?
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			Fa'uhayna
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			ila Musa amirduribyaasaqalbaah.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			Immediately Allah told him immediately.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			You have a stick,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			hit the sea, see what's gonna happen.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			That's the special
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			Ma'ih that's the special connection when Allah looks
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:56
			at everybody
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			and says she's special
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			I'm going to guide her through something everybody
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			else doesn't see it because the people with
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			Musa did not see Usayidna Musa saw. Are
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			you with me?
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			So to be to get to be with
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			Allah in this special way, I need to
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:12
			be patient.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			I did see this in Wazza
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			Inna Allahama Sabri I'm not gonna say stayinu
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			Sabri wa Sabri, it was there, but I
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			saw how Allah is with them.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			Now how is that?
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			I didn't see Allah Subhan'a
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			but I saw
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			their response
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			to the calamities
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			and to the test, the real tests
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			and how they are responding there is no
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			way
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			a human being
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			can
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			live this
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			and respond this way
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			by Allah. You have your children, the children
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			2 or 3, right?
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			Nagging what somebody want to say this, the
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			other one want this, the other one and
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:00
			you lose it
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			and you get upset. You have tomorrow an
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			exam, and you get very anxious. Right?
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			Why the people of Hazaw and not?
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			Honestly, I didn't see anxiety
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			which is the norm here.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			I didn't see depression.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			I'm sure later on Allah knows, but at
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:22
			this moment of hunger, of fear, of bombing,
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:23
			of the,
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			the drums, and they're fine. Children are playing.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			Adults, if they are healthy, they are taking
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			care of the adults,
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			and I thought of this verse,
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			when Allah is with me,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			special
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			looks at you or me,
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			special, I'm gonna react in a special way,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			I'm gonna perceive it in a special way,
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			and then
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			the next two verses we lived it.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			Don't
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			you say to those who are killed for
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			the sake of Allah,
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			Dead.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			Right? And then
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			malahiyaaandarabeem
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			yuzafun, for sure they are alive.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			Not a single person who died there,
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			they did not the word martyr,
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			shahid,
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			on their tongue like you and me and
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			say good morning, salaam alaikum, how was your
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			day?
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			Every two words the third is martyr, every
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			two words the third is shahid.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			Not a single family, a person I talked
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			with did not lose 4, 5, 6, 7,
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			and I'm talking about oh, my sister.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			I mean, this this one of the,
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			persons who
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			works in the hospital brought his wife to
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			meet us, and the wife young,
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			maybe 20 I don't know, in her twenties.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			And then he said,
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			her sister, all her family died.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			And I was like, you can see, like
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			your face is mine, and they were talking
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			to us. He said, yeah, they were all
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			having getting ready for iftar.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			She said,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			oh, I forgot something. I don't remember what
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			was it. I'm gonna go and get it.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			The children followed
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			her. She looked at the children and says,
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			no. No. Go back. Stay with daddy.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			Daddy and his parents, I'm gonna come back.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			She come back.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			Everybody was dead.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			And when the sister of course she was
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			crying, I mean we're human,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			but when they were telling the story, if
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			it is me I cannot even say the
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			story, and this is like a 3 4
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			days ago, it's not like 6 months ago.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			Inna Allahama sabri.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			The word comes off at her martyr,
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			martyr, shuhada,
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			engabla, this is what you hear.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			It's like the natural.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			Literally you see the Quran
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:56
			in action
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			and then the verse that lived with me
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			from the day I enter to the day
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			I left
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			you will be tested.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			And it's scary for us because that
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			this verse,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			you will be tested, didn't come for the
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			people of Ghazza only,
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			it came to all of us that means
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			we are too.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
			We say in little bit
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			how fear
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			and you're gonna lose wealth
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			and people
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:29
			with Tamarat
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			and vegetation,
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			and the same thing, Obasheus,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			sovereign.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:39
			Give glad tithing to those who are patient,
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:40
			8 days
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			food was a luxury,
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:45
			Sleep,
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			good luck. You sleep because you're tired,
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			and you don't know if you're gonna wake
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			up or not. The norm.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			Less money, talk to everybody. They lost everything.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:57
			Everything.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02
			Like homes, I'm talking about material things. They
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			lost it.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			Fear?
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:09
			Fear. You live between the drones or you
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:12
			live between the bombing. You choose which one.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			And if there is nothing now, you're very
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:16
			afraid because is it coming to us or
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:16
			not?
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			We will test you.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			And then
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			I live in between these 2. I like
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			I separated them and I was looking and
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			I said, you Allah, he gave This is
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			I see it around me in every spot
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			in the hospital
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			where we were because we lived most of
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			the time in the hospital. We didn't go
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			out. I mean, if you go out, you
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			have to go maybe maybe 3, 4 feet
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			and you have to come back.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			Then Wabashir is sobering, and I look around,
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			and I kept asking myself,
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			and each one of you, may Allah not
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			test us with this You Rabbi Ami, but
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			each one of you ask yourself this,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			honestly,
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			if you are the person who is living
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			in Gaza,
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			will you be Bashar Sabri?
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			Will
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			I and you be Bashar Sabri
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			if I cannot be patient
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			because the temperature
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			is a little bit less than my comfort
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			zone,
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			or the food
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			is not what I want, or my friend
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			did not do this or that, How will
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			I live with this all
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24
			major things completely out of your comfort zone?
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			I don't want to say we're going to
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			be tested, for sure we're already tested,
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			but we need to practice,
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			lessons take,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38
			you need to train yourself adults before youth
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			to know what patience mean.
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			It is not always my way or the
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			highway
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			as they say here,
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			it is whose way?
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			It's Allah's
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			way, so when things doesn't go the way
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			I want, I say You Rabbi it's Your
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			it's Your earth,
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			it's Your people,
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			it's Your home, it's not mine,
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			it's Your wealth,
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:05
			wabashir
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:06
			sabri
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			and give a glad tiding, what is the
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			glad tiding of sabr?
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:14
			Jannah.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:16
			They say
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			the people who are sovereign,
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			a Sabreem is not one day, now I
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:25
			learned that lecture and then alhamdulillah I learned
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			something, I'm gonna go tomorrow on Sabreem, Thursday
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30
			I forgot back to square 1. Sabri meaning
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			it become your
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:32
			constant
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			nature, habit. It's not nature but you will
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			work on it,
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			to be patient, not necessarily you're born as
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			patient, It's something you gain. I can I
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			can become patient, and one of the best
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			way to make you patient is
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:54
			fasting?
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			Fasting because it controls you. You I'm sorry.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:03
			It's you control yourself. Wabashir is sovereign give
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			glad tidings. They say the people of Sabur
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			who were really tested in dunya,
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			tested in the negative way, not in the
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			positive way,
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			They say when they see the result
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:17
			and the reward from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			you know what they say?
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			Does anybody knows?
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			I'm sorry?
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			No, no, no, no, that's easy,
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			that's easy, no,
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32
			no, no, no, When they see this in
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			Jannah, when they see the rewards,
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			they say
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			we wished, listen to what I'm saying,
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			we wished
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			that our skins
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			were picked up
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			with the pickups, you know, the pickups that
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			you that woman use, you know, to clean
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:50
			your face from extra hair. We wish
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			How painful it is when you start picking
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			pieces from the skin.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			They say we wish we had that from
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			what Allah gave us,
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06
			the people of Ghazid they know this,
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			they always think
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			of the other life,
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			Us,
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:17
			most of us,
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:19
			what's the focus?
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			Today and tomorrow and Thursday and the next
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			week and then summer and then next year
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			and Allah knows and I'm planning for the
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			next 10 years really, do I know I'm
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			living tomorrow?
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			And then the next one you hear it
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			all the time
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			Now you hear this all the time, Indas,
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			what I'm gonna get when I'm really sober,
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			practice it,
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52
			salah,
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			and I'm connected with Allah,
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			Allah told them Ulaaikar,
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			not you and me, those.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			So go back to these verses in Surat
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			Al Baqarah, it's 155
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			I think, Go back and see what they
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:05
			did,
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			and Allah says Ulaika. When I say Ulaika,
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			I mean, when I say Ulaika, I see
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			this, you're not included. If I say you're
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			not included, meaning special,
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			what I'm gonna get?
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			Not in Akhirah. He didn't say anything about
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			Akhirah. Pay attention to the verses. He just
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24
			came out of Ramabah.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			Ula Ika Alayhim, salawatumurabi
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			Those
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			who practiced patient,
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			focused on the akhirah,
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			used sabr and salah to make them patient,
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			connected with Allah,
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:47
			they will have special salah from Allah, special
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			du'a from Allah, wa Rahma loving mercy from
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			Allah only for them, and the best part
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			Wa'ulaikumu
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54
			muhtadum
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56
			Those are the one who's guided.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:59
			So when you see the woman her, she's
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			seeing her 3 children dead,
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:04
			and she holds them, she's crying, she's a
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06
			human being, but nothing comes out
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			of the mouth, or no actions
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			that is not pleasing to Allah because she
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			is guided.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			What is guided? Guided to do the right
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			thing in that moment.
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			Wa ulaika mu muqtadu,
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			and this is why I kept saying to
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			myself
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			will I respond the same way?
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			As you walk around, literally, as you walk
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:31
			around, you see this whatever I shared with
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			you last week, and this was not our
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			day. This was 8 days. The norm scenario.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			The norm. You go to the ER, somebody
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			comes in either dead or somebody comes in
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:42
			bleeding or the one one hand is lost,
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44
			and then you keep seeing and seeing this.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			Am I gonna be?
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:51
			Right?
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			When the weather changed, like 3 months ago,
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			I think if I remember well, there was
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:59
			a possibility of a tornado or whatever. Right?
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00
			We were Mu'tadu.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05
			It was a test, it's a severe weather,
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			right? We were Mu'tadu, we were guided,
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			we have practiced Sabr and Sala, and we
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			are with Allah, so when the test comes
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			in, I wouldn't say I'm ready, but my
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			response will be the way that Allah wants
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			me.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			So take home message
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:22
			especially from this,
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			we all will be tested.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			This dunya hadhi Daruktila,
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:30
			that's how they call it.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			This dunya Daruktila,
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:35
			this life is a place of a test,
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36
			and the test in 2 ways because I
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39
			don't want you to keep thinking test is
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:39
			bad.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			So if I'm healthy, I'm not tested.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			If I am sick, I'm not tested.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:46
			Both.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			What does that mean?
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			When you are healthy, alhamdulillah, all of us
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			now, right? Meaning I can see,
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:58
			I can think, right, I can walk, doesn't
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			matter what else but at least the major
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			ones.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			I am tested.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			What are you doing with this health?
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			And when I am sick,
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			I can't do what the healthy people
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			do.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13
			I am tested
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			how I'm gonna respond.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			So the test is different like when you
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			have 2 desserts,
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			they're all desserts,
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24
			but one is this, one is that
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:27
			and one people like and one people doesn't
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			like, but in both ways what does Allah
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:32
			want from me when I'm eating dessert?
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			He wants me to be
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			grateful.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			When I am being tested,
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			I have everything, I'm tested, I don't have
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			anything, I am tested. The response needs to
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:46
			be the same. Question for everybody.
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:49
			May Allah not test us the same way,
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:50
			which one is better,
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:53
			us in the sight of Allah,
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:54
			Us
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			or the people of Uzza?
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			I want to hear it.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			I'm sorry?
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:05
			Why?
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			Okay. So the people of Gaza. Why?
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:10
			I'm sorry?
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:13
			No habibati. This is what I wanted to
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:15
			change. Don't you think their test is worse
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			than us?
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			No.
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:25
			You will be asked about the luxury.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			You know what's a name?
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:30
			The luxury?
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			You think the luxury is a is a
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			home on the beach?
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			Sayyid Nabla Nabba said
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			the naim,
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:39
			the drink
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42
			of a cold water when you are thirsty,
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:47
			the sip of a cold water when you
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:50
			are thirsty, this is Naim, Latus Saloon Naoma
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			is an An Naim, You will be asked
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			about that.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			So which one is better? Which one in
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			the sight of Allah
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:01
			responding to a test? The test of ghazah
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:02
			is tough
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:03
			externally
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			and our test is
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			not tough externally,
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			but it's both tests,
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			and he's waiting for the response.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			Why?
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:16
			Which one? Stuffer. Which one is tougher?
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			Which one failed?
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			And which one did not fail?
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:23
			One person, raise your hand.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:28
			Yes, Mariam.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			I can't hear you.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34
			It's not about here.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			It's about response. Hear about action.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			Hear about action. Of course it's taqwa if
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			I'm thinking of Allah,
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:42
			right?
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			Which one is better?
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:45
			Our
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:46
			test
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:47
			is
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			better.
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50
			Our test is better? Because we have so
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			many
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			distractions
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:55
			at the moment that we can get ourselves
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			occupied and do it. Forget a lot very
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:00
			easily. But if we keep steadfast still and
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			If if if if
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			are we?
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:05
			Are we focused? Again, because
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:08
			the goal of this, maybe it's gonna be
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10
			next week and the week after is not
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:13
			only to fear for the people of Azza
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:15
			because that's how this is taken.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:16
			What did I learn?
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:20
			Why did Allah just brought this to my
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:20
			life?
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:22
			And I'm living it
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			day by day.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			Now we used to live it through the
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:28
			social media. Now we are living it through
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:31
			people going and coming back, and they saw
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			and they share. What does he want from
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			me?
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:36
			That's the most important thing. Right?
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:38
			Now what I need to do is the
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:38
			following.
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:41
			Identify your test,
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:45
			And the test, again, is not negative always.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			What test you are going test of health,
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:51
			test of wealth,
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:53
			test of beauty,
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:55
			test of children,
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			test of a good spouse,
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:58
			test of education,
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00
			test of religion,
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02
			test of being religious,
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:05
			test of being half of the Quran.
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:08
			These are all tests. How do you respond?
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			How do you respond?
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13
			If I am gonna respond in a way
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:15
			not pleasing to Allah, I failed it.
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:18
			So if I am busy collecting
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:20
			and enjoying
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			all the time, doesn't mean don't enjoy. Walatan
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:26
			sanasiba kaminat dunya. Don't forget your share from
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:29
			dunya. The people said to Qaroon,
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:30
			multimillionaire,
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			billionaire,
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:35
			don't forget your share from dunya. But number
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			1, what Allah gave you,
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:38
			us
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			One question,
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49
			all this, where is akhira in your daily
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:50
			life?
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			Healthy.
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:56
			You have everything.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			Doesn't matter. You have a 1 bedroom apartment
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			or you have a house. You have a
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			you have
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			a roof as the I still remember that
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			surgeon
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			who looked at me and says, oh,
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:10
			we're living in Paris,
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			and here I am
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:14
			living in Paris,
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:15
			half a room,
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			the half is full with furniture, the other
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:21
			one only for her, the son sleeps outside,
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			and the bathroom don't ask me how many
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25
			people are using it. And she read
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:29
			the face, me and doctor Henna with me,
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			and she said if you only saw where
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:32
			we were, at least there is no bombing
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:33
			on our head.
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:37
			So when Allahuha lana bluewanakum
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			we are all tested,
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41
			how are you responding?
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			How are you responding?
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:45
			And don't you think,
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:47
			and this is to everybody myself number 1,
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:49
			when Allah keep giving us
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:52
			that mean we're okay,
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			or Allah loves me, by the way, the
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:58
			sign of love of Allah is never rudumia,
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			otherwise he would have given it to Rasul
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:00
			alaihis salatusa.
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			Right?
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			We'll give them more time, let them collect
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			more sins.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			So here I am when I see this
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:17
			clips coming from Gaza,
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:21
			right, and somebody says alhamdulillah and they're dead
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23
			in front of them or the whole house
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:26
			is destroyed, you've seen that very famous clip
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			in the beginning, it says alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah and
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:34
			Alhamdulillah
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:37
			now he his response some
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:40
			response is exactly what Allah want, now when
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:41
			I have a house
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			and I don't have
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:45
			and I'm not living in a war and
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:46
			I have no issues and I look around
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:49
			and I see beautiful everything around me, what
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:50
			is my response?
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:51
			Is it Alhamdulillah
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:55
			the way He pleases Him or Alhamdulillah tip
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:55
			of the tongue?
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			Did you see my point? Because that's how
		
00:41:58 --> 00:41:59
			we learned.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			The other one and I want to probably
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			gonna end up here is when Allah said
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:04
			again
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07
			Why You Rabbi?
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			This is in Surat Muhammad all the way
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:11
			at the end. Why?
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			No! Why why I'm tested? Allah doesn't love
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			me, it has nothing to do with love,
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			has nothing to do with love because there's
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:31
			nobody Allah loves more than the prophets, right?
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:35
			Sayyidina Musa, Sayyidina Ibrahim and Rasool alaihi wasalam
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			who has tested more.
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:39
			But Allah says
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:43
			we will test you so we know who
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:43
			those
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:44
			will struggle
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			for the sake of Allah and don't think
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			again of struggle
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:50
			the harsh way, you know what's the biggest
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:53
			struggle? When you are the only woman who
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:54
			wears hijab in your school,
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:57
			when you are the only woman who dress
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:00
			properly in the middle of everybody in August
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			because it is hot and you still cover.
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			You are you are struggling
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			when everybody around you
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:09
			looks different, tells you who you are, what
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			are you doing to yourself, and you're steadfast.
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15
			And now I am struggling,
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			and I need a lot of patience to
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:17
			stay
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			on the straight path.
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:22
			And I in the midst of everything I
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:23
			was seeing, I was like
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:25
			what is the big deal for the woman
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27
			in Gaza to wear hijab? Everybody is wearing
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:28
			hijab,
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:29
			everybody,
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:31
			but come here,
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			Come here. Whether a Muslim or a non
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:35
			Muslim,
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			you are a minority,
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:39
			let alone a minority among
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:40
			minority,
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:42
			lana blue one naku.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44
			We are all tested.
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:48
			In in adversity, we are tested, and in
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:51
			prosperity, we are tested. The question is, how
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:51
			are you responding?
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:56
			So remember this anytime now, I hope when
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:57
			now you're seeing
		
00:43:57 --> 00:44:00
			the the scenes that's still coming from gazah,
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:01
			now you start to reflect on yourself,
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:05
			Not only them and praise them and make
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:06
			dua and do everything we need to do,
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:09
			but the most important thing, I cannot face
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:12
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and he made me
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:13
			live this
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:15
			for 7 months now and Allah knows how
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:16
			long it will
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			take,
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			and then I learn nothing
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22
			and I change nothing,
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			then I have a problem.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			Then please forgive me, my
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:29
			faith is fake.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:34
			I'm talking about the the real connection. I'm
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:36
			not talking about being Muslim, no, alhamdulillah,
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:40
			but by being the real Muslim faithful believer,
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			If nothing changed,
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:45
			same,
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			then I have a problem,
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:51
			then all this in front of me did
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:52
			not change me,
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:55
			Subhanahu wa'alahe will look and says what else
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			I'll do to you people?
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:00
			That's why another concept in the Quran
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:02
			kept coming to me
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:06
			says walk on this earth.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			What does it mean see?
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:11
			Si.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:12
			Si,
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14
			and he puts many
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:16
			things after
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:19
			many things.
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			So you when you see this for the
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			last 6 months and you are
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:27
			not walking physically in Earth, but you're seeing
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:29
			it, it's coming to us within a second,
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:32
			Right? As if I traveled and then came
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:32
			back,
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:33
			and
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:34
			see.
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:38
			What did you learn?
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:40
			These are all questions I'm throwing it to
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:43
			everybody because that's how we need to react.
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45
			What did you learn? What did it change
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:46
			in you if anything?
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:49
			And if it didn't change anything, You way
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			do I say this to myself,
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:52
			woe on me.
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:54
			And again I'm not trying to make you
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:56
			feel bad, but we need to really learn
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58
			and wake up so we are ready,
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:01
			we are ready if Allah test us, may
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03
			Allah not, but if He want koon fayakoon
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05
			we already
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:07
			are prepared and ready.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make us among
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:11
			those people who listen to the word of
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:12
			admonition
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:15
			and, you Rabbi, benefit and help. May Allah
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:17
			subhanahu wa ta'ala not test us the way
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:19
			that he is testing them. May Allah subhanahu
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:21
			wa ta'ala not test us in any way
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:22
			that we are
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			not able to use this test to get
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26
			to Dunna and to get close to
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			Just a reminder, next week will be at
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:39
			7 o'clock, InshaAllah, be it, Miliya. We will
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:41
			just less than 5 minutes for prayer, be
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:41
			it, Miliya.
