Anything Allah puts in your path,
anything,
there is a learning message from Allah.
And the question is,
what's the message?
Did I get it?
And the most important thing, what did I
learn from it?
So here I am when I was walking,
we went to the University of Malaysia
mosque, and I was walking and I was
really feeling hot, the humidity.
And I look around me and everybody is
normal
because you're used to. Right?
Same thing, for example, when I used to
live in the Midwest in the United States,
in the middle of the winter, it's cold.
It's ice. It's not only snow. And when
I get family visiting me from California,
they think this is impossible.
What does that teaches
you? This is a message. Remember, everything is
a message from Allah. He doesn't put you
in a circumstance just because.
Yeah. You know? Okay. And then I'm gonna
comment, I'm gonna laugh or cry or just
pass by. It's a message, and I need
to learn.
Teaches me the following.
And this is again, I am sharing with
you a thought. It's a reflection I lived.
If they can do it, I can do
it.
That's something for you all to learn.
If all these people around me were standing
some of them were standing outside,
and they were absolutely fine.
Woman, mashallah tabarakallah, in a beautiful Islamic
dress. Then if they do it, I can
do it, and the opposite is also true,
and this is what I will say to
you. When people ask me, how did you
memorize the Quran?
You know what I say to them? If
I can do it, you can do it.
If you know the struggle
and how difficult and how many people said
to me, you will never do it, you
will not be able to do it because
you are so busy and this and that,
and Allah made it happen. And this is
when people tell me I can do it.
I said, please forgive me.
If I can do it, you can do
it.
Same thing. Anything you see in your life
that you find
you stink, and again, young and old, brothers
and sisters, it doesn't matter, you think,
no way I can do it. Don't say
that.
Because if Allah allowed a human being to
do it, that means he gave you the
ability.
The only difference is how long it will
take you.
The journey of some people easier than the
others, but the reward is
what?
Depends on
The efforts.
Right? Nothing with Allah
goes vain,
and Allah does not take me accountable, and
that's what I keep saying.
Alhamdulillah,
Allah is my lord.
Because Allah does not take me accountable on
the results.
True or false?
What does he take me accountable or he
reward me
for? The effort,
the journey.
So when you start, for example, the journey
of knowledge,
Allah is not gonna say, well he didn't
take your PhD,
then nothing is gonna happen
because that's unfair.
I put the effort, but something happened, and
I couldn't do it.
He will reward me for every effort I
put,
and this is something for all of us
and the beauty of this deen.
Every effort,
every struggle,
every unease,
whether it's a feeling in me, whether it's
a feeling and translated to action, whether it's
a pain
came to me from someone,
in every step, I will be rewarded if
I respond
the way he wants me to respond.
