00:00:06--> 00:00:07

Said Ibrahim

00:00:08--> 00:00:08

in

00:00:09--> 00:00:10

one of the

00:00:11--> 00:00:11

most beautiful

00:00:13--> 00:00:15

verses in the Quran talking about Allah when

00:00:16--> 00:00:18

he said to his people, who's Allah to

00:00:18--> 00:00:20

him? He says,

00:00:22--> 00:00:24

He's the one who feed me and give

00:00:24--> 00:00:24

me drinks.

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

And when I get sick, so sickness here,

00:00:29--> 00:00:32

he's the one who will give me cure

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

or make me,

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

healthy.

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

So this is something for us also to

00:00:37--> 00:00:40

learn. Meaning, the Quran talks about physical illness

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

and its part of the life. What should

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

I do in the physical illness?

00:00:44--> 00:00:47

Right? Number 1, I think all the time.

00:00:47--> 00:00:49

It is Allah allowed it to happen. And

00:00:49--> 00:00:51

then when I go to someone, I go

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

to a physician

00:00:52--> 00:00:55

to help me to do a surgery, give

00:00:55--> 00:00:55

me medications,

00:00:56--> 00:00:58

when he or she is doing the surgery

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

and I get, alhamdulillah, recovered,

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

I need to remember that Allah

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

put the cure in the hand of the,

00:01:05--> 00:01:06

for example, the surgeon.

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

When I take her medications,

00:01:08--> 00:01:11

I don't think the medication is giving me

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

the cure. It's the medication by the will

00:01:13--> 00:01:16

of Allah. Allah is making the medication

00:01:16--> 00:01:19

works and I get better including any medication

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

you take for something as simple as headaches.

00:01:22--> 00:01:24

So that's the physical. But the interesting

00:01:27--> 00:01:28

the

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

where

00:01:35--> 00:01:36

he said, as he said it in Suratul

00:01:36--> 00:01:36

Baqarahlaqarahlaqaw.

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

And their hearts already is sick. They have

00:01:40--> 00:01:43

disease and Allah made it even worse. And

00:01:43--> 00:01:46

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talked about disease,

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

or sickness

00:01:47--> 00:01:50

when even physical, this one, is when he

00:01:50--> 00:01:51

talked about ablution

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

and he gave the permission

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

for those who are sick. And he said,

00:01:59--> 00:02:01

If you were sick or you were traveling,

00:02:01--> 00:02:04

then there is an permission not to do

00:02:04--> 00:02:06

wudu or to do the wudu in a

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

limited way as long as you don't get

00:02:08--> 00:02:09

harm. But if you get harm, you can

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

even don't do wudu, you do.

00:02:12--> 00:02:14

Back to the disease of the heart

00:02:15--> 00:02:16

and Allah repeatedly

00:02:17--> 00:02:18

say said it.

00:02:19--> 00:02:20

The disease of the heart is when the

00:02:20--> 00:02:22

heart doesn't see

00:02:22--> 00:02:25

truth as truth all the time and does

00:02:25--> 00:02:27

not see falsehood as falsehood

00:02:27--> 00:02:28

all the time.

00:02:29--> 00:02:30

It alternate

00:02:30--> 00:02:31

or it changes.

00:02:32--> 00:02:34

And usually there is 2 forces in that

00:02:34--> 00:02:37

heart. As Rasool alaihi wa sallam, the meaning

00:02:37--> 00:02:40

of, he said, lammatan, the heart has 2

00:02:40--> 00:02:41

forces. Lammatulmalakul

00:02:41--> 00:02:44

lammatu shaitaan. There's a force of the angel

00:02:44--> 00:02:47

and there's a force of the shaitan.

00:02:47--> 00:02:49

When I wanna do something and

00:02:49--> 00:02:51

I know that this thing is not pleasing

00:02:51--> 00:02:54

to Allah and I have this voices, 2

00:02:54--> 00:02:56

voices inside me saying don't do it. It's

00:02:56--> 00:02:59

not pleasing to Allah and the other voice

00:02:59--> 00:03:01

will say it's okay. It's only one time.

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

Allah will forgive me or whatever

00:03:03--> 00:03:04

excuse or justification

00:03:05--> 00:03:07

I wanna do, then my heart is sick.

00:03:08--> 00:03:09

It's not dead, alhamdulillah.

00:03:10--> 00:03:11

It's sick.

00:03:11--> 00:03:14

And how sick it is or could be

00:03:14--> 00:03:17

not sick at all if the good force

00:03:17--> 00:03:20

win? That means I am absolutely fine.

00:03:20--> 00:03:23

One of the interesting points where Allah mentioned

00:03:25--> 00:03:27

or there is a sickness of the heart

00:03:27--> 00:03:29

is when he talked to the wives of

00:03:29--> 00:03:30

Rasul

00:03:32--> 00:03:34

in the chapter Al Ahab, the confederate. And

00:03:34--> 00:03:35

he said,

00:03:39--> 00:03:40

Don't speak

00:03:41--> 00:03:41

softly

00:03:42--> 00:03:44

or in a suggestive way if you wanna

00:03:44--> 00:03:47

use that word. And then the person who

00:03:47--> 00:03:48

has a disease in the heart,

00:03:49--> 00:03:51

the heart is sick, not physically. The heart

00:03:51--> 00:03:52

is sick.

00:03:54--> 00:03:55

He will,

00:03:55--> 00:03:58

and this is he. He will understand what

00:03:58--> 00:04:00

you are saying in a different way, and

00:04:00--> 00:04:02

he will have more desires.

00:04:02--> 00:04:05

SubhanAllah, what a beautiful deen that

00:04:05--> 00:04:08

Allah knows what we feel and knows what

00:04:08--> 00:04:09

affect us.

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

Another one he said about the disease of

00:04:11--> 00:04:14

the heart where he said it in Surah

00:04:14--> 00:04:17

Tawba, when a verse is is revealed.

00:04:21--> 00:04:23

And people in between this is in time

00:04:23--> 00:04:25

of Rasool alaihi wa sata salam in Medina

00:04:25--> 00:04:27

where the 2 groups were said, what did

00:04:27--> 00:04:29

this verse do to you? Now let's pay

00:04:29--> 00:04:30

attention

00:04:30--> 00:04:32

because that's you and me. When I read

00:04:32--> 00:04:34

the Quran, when I listen to a verse,

00:04:34--> 00:04:36

what does it do to me? And Allah

00:04:36--> 00:04:37

here, he

00:04:41--> 00:04:44

When a verse from the Quran is revealed,

00:04:45--> 00:04:46

the real believers,

00:04:46--> 00:04:48

they are so happy,

00:04:48--> 00:04:51

and they feel good and have glad tidings.

00:04:57--> 00:05:00

Those who have sickness in their heart, have

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

sick heart,

00:05:01--> 00:05:02

when a verse is revealed,

00:05:03--> 00:05:06

they will what happened to them? They will

00:05:06--> 00:05:08

their heart will have more evil.

00:05:08--> 00:05:10

Their heart will have more filth.

00:05:11--> 00:05:13

Rich is one of the meanings of riches.

00:05:13--> 00:05:15

They will have more doubt,

00:05:16--> 00:05:16

basically.

00:05:17--> 00:05:19

What does the verse of the Quran

00:05:20--> 00:05:21

do to us?

00:05:22--> 00:05:24

When I read this verse and I should

00:05:24--> 00:05:27

ask myself, am I that person, or I

00:05:27--> 00:05:28

am the other person, where I am going

00:05:28--> 00:05:30

to be closer to Allah and I'm going

00:05:30--> 00:05:33

to be very happy, or versus I'm going

00:05:33--> 00:05:34

to have more doubt.

00:05:35--> 00:05:37

What does that mean? I'm not convinced?

00:05:38--> 00:05:39

Then there is a disease in my heart.

00:05:40--> 00:05:43

SubhanAllah, how subtle, in a very subtle way,

00:05:43--> 00:05:44

Allah

00:05:45--> 00:05:47

give us clues to look internally,

00:05:47--> 00:05:50

to look into our hearts. And one of

00:05:50--> 00:05:51

the best cure,

00:05:51--> 00:05:52

subhanAllah,

00:05:53--> 00:05:55

for the disease of the heart is the

00:05:55--> 00:05:56

Quran itself.

00:06:03--> 00:06:05

Allah said this and we send down the

00:06:05--> 00:06:06

Quran

00:06:06--> 00:06:08

and from the Quran, meaning the Quran, all

00:06:08--> 00:06:10

of it is is cure.

00:06:14--> 00:06:15

However, the wrongdoers,

00:06:15--> 00:06:17

they will even be even more losers.

00:06:18--> 00:06:19

So diseases,

00:06:20--> 00:06:20

sickness

00:06:21--> 00:06:23

is a natural thing. It's something part of

00:06:23--> 00:06:26

life. It's one of the tests that we

00:06:26--> 00:06:26

go through.

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

And Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, ex what does

00:06:29--> 00:06:31

he expect from me? I need to be

00:06:31--> 00:06:32

grateful. I need to be patient.

00:06:33--> 00:06:35

And sickness should bring me closer to Allah.

00:06:36--> 00:06:39

That's the external one. The internal one, the

00:06:39--> 00:06:41

disease of the heart, is the most important.

00:06:41--> 00:06:43

Each one of us have to look at

00:06:43--> 00:06:44

herself or himself

00:06:45--> 00:06:48

every single day and ask the following question:

00:06:48--> 00:06:49

is my heart sick?

00:06:50--> 00:06:51

Do I have a disease of the heart?

00:06:51--> 00:06:54

Do I have jealousy? Do I have anger?

00:06:54--> 00:06:55

Do I have

00:06:56--> 00:06:58

arrogance? All these are diseases.

00:06:58--> 00:07:00

Sometimes we don't know,

00:07:00--> 00:07:03

but the way it helps me is what

00:07:03--> 00:07:05

a verse in the Quran does to me

00:07:05--> 00:07:06

when I read.

00:07:06--> 00:07:07

Do I argue?

00:07:07--> 00:07:09

Am I not convinced? Then my heart is

00:07:09--> 00:07:10

sick.

00:07:10--> 00:07:12

And what do we have to do? Number

00:07:12--> 00:07:13

1, ask Allah

00:07:14--> 00:07:17

to cure our hearts, to purify our heart.

00:07:21--> 00:07:25

You Allah purify our hearts, our souls, our

00:07:25--> 00:07:27

body, meaning spiritually,

00:07:27--> 00:07:28

and

00:07:28--> 00:07:30

purify yarubi Ami.

00:07:28--> 00:07:30

purify yarubi Ami.
