Ibrahim Hindy – How to think of 2020

			hamdulillah in the middle who want to stay and will be he wants to talk to or will want to stay
deep. Whenever we live in Thailand and Julian phocoena woman cicr Melina in omya de la, la la la la
		

			la la, la la la la la la la sharika Why should why no Mohammed Abu Rasul Allah, Allah Al amin was
once in a movement in Saudi King, where her definitiva the Romanian announced along with the local
wasabi, his pseudo was so happy he are in an army and then someone local to run away from home and z
is eaten ibnr no matter what. So, what he what he said it was a llama was very funny. He was hiding,
while engineering minister Nabisco nutty boxes yesterday he lived within a mailbag pharmacy Kumasi
we took a lot hit either Faina home a tequila ajaya who Maharajah? Well there was a woman hateful I
tested all praises due to Allah alone. And when we seek aid and assistance into him we turn both in
		

			repentance and for forgiveness. Julio Allah subhanho wa Taala guides them can mislead and human law
leaves to go straight there is none who can guide and I bet when he said there's nothing worthy of
worship civil law alone. And then Mohammed Salah law where I mean he'll send them is both his
servants and His Messenger.
		

			Today, of course, as we all know, is the first day of the new year of 2021 according to the
Gregorian calendar. Of course, as Muslims, our religion obliges us to follow the lunar calendar.
		

			And so months that are imperative in our Deen, like the holy month of Ramadan, or the sacred month,
like the head jet, are lunar months and are established according to the lunar calendar, and not
according to the solar calendar. And of course, as we know, the Sahaba are the longtime
		

			adjumani in that they instituted a calendar for the Muslim civilization based on the hedgerow of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the history calendar, and upon that basis, much of the world
actually function for many, many years. And so it is part of our Islamic legacy, and something that
we shouldn't soon forget. And we should try as much as possible to connect ourselves to the history
calendar. And recently I've done myself with my children, taken them and tried to show them make
them memorize at least their birthday, according to the HD calendar. The reality is most Muslims if
you told them what day were you born in the hingedly? calendar? They don't know how old are you
		

			according to the hingedly calendar, I don't know. One brother turned 40 he said I need to make the
DA n number that I should know that. That was her that I mentioned in the Quran when he turned 40
and make a certain number and that Allah mentioned, but he's doing it according to the Gregorian
calendar. I told him you already 40 probably two years ago, right? But we lose track of our own
legacy in Islam, it's important for us to connect to our hidden calendar. At the same time. Is it
wrong for someone to take the opportunity of the new year according to the Gregorian calendar to
reflect over what happened in the past? Is it wrong for us to sit back and reflect what happened
		

			this past year? And what might come this next year? No, because any opportunity to reflect over the
nature of time is important. And the opportunity to reflect over our actions is important. And the
opportunity to do what has to take ourselves to account is something that the believer should take
advantage of any opportunity to reflect over our actions, our perceptions, our opportunities, and to
resolve to do better is an opportunity for every Muslim to take. So as we enter into the year 2021.
And we look back at the year 2020. What should our attitude be? How should we reflect over what has
happened in this previous year? Now we've all heard people obviously are always talking about the
		

			year 2020 now, and people continuously say over and over throughout society, the year 2020 is the
worst year ever. This is the worst year. And even people will try to you know mentioned mentioned
basically the worst things that have happened that happened in this year. Netflix even made a
documentary called Death to 2020 and the documentary or watch it but basically it's people talking
about all the bad things that happened in 2020 and how it's the worst year ever. And obviously there
is a pandemic and there's resulting deaths
		

			like far
		

			And there's resulting deaths. And there's a number of crises that have a role as this past year. And
the sentiment is somewhat understandable. millions of people worldwide have died from COVID
businesses have been shut down. The massagin have been shut down around the world. And so people
have blamed the challenges and the problems of the year 2020. If something bad happens, they say out
of 2020, they use 2020 as a comparable for other bad things. If there's another bad thing, they
said, that's a 2020 thing, because now bad in 2020 have become synonymous in society and in the
lexicon of society. But had a lot of the other day, my son turned four years old. He was born in
		

			2016. And, you know, I got a notification of what I posted, for my friends online the day he was
born. And
		

			the thing that I posted when I said something like 2016 wasn't all that bad. And I remember that I
wrote that because at that time, everyone was saying 2016 is the worst year ever. And you can go and
Google this yourself. You'll see there were articles in the New York Times, and the washington post
on slate.com. Literally titled 2016 was the worst year. And they talked about all the bad things
that happened in 2016, Donald Trump became president, all these celebrities died, climate change
became worse. This this, this, this, all these different reasons that occurred.
		

			And even in 2016, there was a one TV show, they brought all the celebrities together, what did they
do? It was a clip of, you know, five minutes of 20 celebrities or 50, celebrities, whatever was each
of them cursing the year 2016. So everything people are saying today about 2020. They were saying
back then about 2016. And so society is accepted, cursing, the years where bad things have happened,
cursing time, and the things that have happened that we dislike and cursing the days and the years
associated with it. But our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said to us, let us have Buddha.
		

			He said do not curse time. Laughter super de Fein la hora de he said for indeed Ally's time, is how
do you think we'll call it a what is meant by this is that
		

			the things we curse that happened over time are really things that happened by the command of a loss
of panel data. Right? And sometimes, you know, the Arabs will even say this, it was not in your
mail, not curse the day that this happened, curse the day that this thing happened to the hour that
this happened. Right? And but really by doing that you're cursing the one who by his decree, these
bad things have taken place. It's the decree of a law that this person died or this happened or that
happened. And so when the Prophet sallallaahu out he was sentenced to in Allahu Allah His time. It
doesn't mean that time is an attribute of a loss penalty. But it means that when you're cursing
		

			things that happen over time, you're really cursing Allah subhanaw taala the one was caused things
to have taken place, and other had the footsie that's in Bukhari and Muslim that for a long time,
and we said the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Allah said, Follow along to Allah in
Vini. No other the son of Adam abuses me. How do we use the last panel to either? Yes, so we're
done. One. He says he curses time and I am time the quality will lay low and the affairs are by my
hand by the decree of a loss penalty. I very nice indeed. And so if we curse time, we're really
cursing the one who was created time, the one who created the day the one who created the hour, the
		

			one who decreed what would take place and we seek refuge in Allah subhanaw taala from being people
of curse to Allah subhana wa Tada. But as we reflect over the attitude of society over the year 2016
and now the attitude of society over this year 2020 really, we can see are the attitude has not
changed. What is the attitude? The attitude is complaining. The attitude is saying, oh, the worst,
the worst, the worst, is focusing on the negatives. The attitude is just complaining about things
being really bad.
		

			And what has that attitude gotten us? Have we become better because of it? No. If you told the
person today, what do you prefer 2020 or 2016. They're all gonna say 2016. At least in 2016. You can
go watch a sporting event. You can go to the restaurant, you can also wear a mask everywhere. In
2016. There were so many you could travel wherever you wanted to go. Now these things have all been
closed. So the person who's complaining today about 2020 would have loved to be in 2016. But when
they were in 2016, what did they do? They complain.
		

			And so the attitude of complaining has not caused us to progress. The attitude of complaining hasn't
made anything
		

			thing better for us. And so instead of hating the year 2020, instead of cursing 2020, and the days
and the things that have happened in it, we should actually be grateful over the things that have
happened in 2020 grateful for the successes we have, and even the failures that we have endured,
grateful for the happiness and the sadness for the fortunes and the misfortunes. And because of
this, you see that the setup is solid, there are the Muslims, they would look for reasons to be
grateful, no matter how bad the situation was. And they said, no matter how bad something has
happened, there is at least three reasons to be grateful to a lowest penalty, the minimum three
		

			reasons to be grateful. The first reason is that whatever happened, and we'll see that did not
affect your dean, you will see but whatever tragedy it is, didn't affect your dean, you're still
Muslim, you're still connected to our last panel to Allah, that's number one reason to be Rachel to
alive zildjian. Number two, however bad it was. It's not as bad as it could have been. However bad,
then we'll see though was, it could have been worse, right? Even when you look at 2020, and the
pandemic, and all the things that happen, it could have been worse, we'll get some kind of luck. You
know, this deal. This disease of COVID is very infectious, but the death rate is very low. And
		

			Nigeria was very infectious and the death rate was very high, there would be millions, maybe
billions of people who passed away, and Hamdulillah, which then hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah, there's
lockdown. But we have internet, and we can communicate with each other. And we can have phone chats
with one another. And we're not completely cut off from each other, and hamdulillah there's so many
reasons to be grateful, because it's so much better than it could have been. And three, because of
our belief as Muslims in the decree of Allah subhanaw taala. And the color of our lives origin. What
happened was written, a lot wrote that this would happen, and it couldn't have been avoided, there
		

			is nothing we could have done that would have made a difference COVID was going to happen is going
to happen no matter what a lot wrote it, it was decree so don't drown in regrets. The only things
that people do when something bad happens, if only I did this, then maybe this would have happened.
If only I didn't go here, maybe I wouldn't have got this disease or this one. This was written by a
must have helped Allah, Allah wrote that this was gonna happen. So don't drown in regret, this
should help the person improve. So the more we feel grateful to Allah subhanaw taala actually, the
better we feel, and allows a penalty, it tells us when you're doing that, right, the law and ethics,
		

			if you try to count the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala, you'd never be able to count it is beyond
our comprehension and awareness, the blessings of a lot. So Allah says, last bill o'reilly who never
know what you're talking about, Lina, Allah has spread upon envelope to you in his favors.
		

			What is apparent and what is hidden, meaning there are blessings of a lot better apparent that we
can recognize the blessing of family, the blessing of food, the blessing of drink, the blessing, the
blessings that we are aware of that we can comprehend, that we can understand. But he says there is
conflict, there is a broth cleaner, there is blessings on the last panel data there is now that you
have no idea though, that you can't even understand that you cannot even comprehend. It's beyond our
knowledge and understanding, but things that we are, in fact indebted to a lesser penalty. And to be
grateful to a lot to have sugar, the last panel Tada. It requires humility, that the person realizes
		

			that you are in need, you're in need, that if you didn't have things that will last held that Allah
gave you, you would be worse off. And so to realize and to recognize, that Allah Subhana Allah has
given you that requires humility, for you to know that you're in need and that a lot of debt has
given you. And the person who's arrogant, doesn't think a lot of how to Allah, because he thinks
that anything he has this is right, that he is entitled to it. Second thing is that to be grateful
to Allah subhanaw taala is that you have to appreciate and love a loss of handle data to truly be
grateful to him, you have to love him, someone has done a big favor to you. They loaned you money at
		

			a time when you're really desperate, you have a sense of respect, a sense of love, a sense of
admiration for that person, you know, that person helped me out at a time where I needed help,
you're always going to have a certain amount of love for that person. And so if we have this type of
love for human beings, what should our love be for a loss of penalty Allah who blessed us with every
blessing that we have enjoyed and even ones that were not aware that we are enjoying and three is to
act in a way
		

			that shows that we are grateful to the blessings of Allah subhana wa Tada. So imagine if someone
gifted you a new car, they gave you this president of a new car, amazing gift, beautiful gift
		

			And then you take that car and you do something with it that harms that person or displeases that
person. So you take that car and you run it into his house, you drive it right into his house, you
break his house down. That would be ungrateful. Everybody would say that's so ungrateful. He gave
you a gift, and then you use that gift to displease him. So likewise, I lost how that gave us gifts
for us to be grateful to a lost count that is to use these gifts in a way that is pleasing to Allah
subhana wa tada in a way that is pleasing to Allah as Odin and not to displease him with the gifts
that we have been given. And this show is shown in our profits in the long run, he was telling them
		

			that he would pray all day and all nights.
		

			And he would pray all night, I showed the law says that the feet of the prophets a little longer,
he's no more bruised and bleeding from the amount of prayer that he was praying. And she said to the
prophets of the love where it was sentimientos who will love us and that will cut off for a while.
		

			them becoming law her, she said, O Messenger of Allah, are you going to pray this much your feet are
bleeding from how much you're praying, even though you know that Allah has forgiven your sins. Allah
is Forgiving your past sins and has forgiven your future sins, and yet you're praying this much. And
he says, Allah Aisha, I fell upon adventure where I said, Oh, should I not be a grateful servant of
Allah subhanaw taala And so yeah, Allah, he's saying Allah has forgiven me. But shouldn't shouldn't
that make me be more grateful to Allah Subhana Allah shall not make me be more developed Tomas
Canada shouldn't that make me use this life that he has given me in a way that is more pleasing to
		

			Him? So kinda whoa tada and forth to be grateful to Allah subhana wa tada means to verbally praise
Allah subhana wa to actively praise Allah subhanaw taala if someone gives you something, you know,
you praise that person you say thank you to that person. You know, you praise them for having gifted
you. What should our praise be to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And this is why sugar is an active thing
that we do a lot of men, with their own family have dealt with acts, in gratitude, do gratitude.
Gratitude is something that you do. It's not just something that you have, it's an action that you
do. It's something that you actually have to engage in. We'll call it a shocker. Allah says in few
		

			of my servant arsha cooler. And the scholars By the way, they talk about what is shakin, and what is
shuffle because both are mentioned. And they say shakin is the one who is grateful to a lot. Shakuni
is the one who is grateful to a lack of support is an emphasize shakin means grateful Shaku means
grateful with an emphasis. They say shockula is the one who is grateful to a lot during a calamity
during a difficulty, so there's a calamity that has come to you. And during the calamity, you see
something in that. And again, as we look over 2020 and all the challenges that are with it in the
pandemic and all of that the gratitude to us. pathauto should increase, we should be grateful even
		

			in the difficulty. It was mentioned that a man from vinius Hawaii, was blind, was paralyzed, had
leprosy he was homeless. He was on the ground in the middle of the street. And someone walked by
him. And this man in the middle of the street imagine he's blind. He has leprosy. People are
avoiding him.
		

			Finally, or also our free time, the fact that we have free time in our lives that, you know many
people you know night and day have to work just to survive. People in countries have to work two
three jobs just to be able to put food on their table. And yet some had a lot
		

			you know the luxury of going home and having some free time this is a blessing from Allah Subhana
Allah Tada. Also the blessing of peace and security. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
Men also have income ammunition, if you survey him off, and he just said he and don't quote a woman,
okay, no matter who he is no dunya, the prophet SAW a lower incidence of whoever begins the day with
		

			peace and security in their home. And they have health in their body, and they have enough money to
get by a single day. It's as if they have all of the world. All of the world has been brought to
this person. And this is the reality because the person who doesn't have this is the person who is
in desperation. Right? And if you think of it, this step up from
		

			like, the food that the common person eats, write the food that a common person needs like rice. The
difference between rice and the food that somebody who's really rich eats lobster, there's a
difference but in the end, you're filling your stomach. But the difference between rice and not
having food is a huge difference. Right? And this is why the profits little lie it says if you have
the necessities, you have all that is needed when you land hemmed up one colony, how those software
developer stuff are all normal for him.
		

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah who aren't early he also happy Omen wider.
		

			inshallah, just because I think the audio got cut off the hook, but for those who are following us
online, to go back to the story of the man from vinius Ryan, who is suffering blindness and leprosy,
and you know suffering
		

			from homelessness, and he's in the middle of the street, and a man walks by him and he overhears
this, this guy saying to himself Alhamdulillah All praise belongs to a lot, olevia I found him in
the patella, he kaffee, Roman, anass, and hamdulillah all things belongs to a lot, who has saved me
from the tests that he has tested many other people with, well, from what any leader, and he has
favored me a tremendous favoring over the rest of the people. And so the man stops in his tracks,
and he turns to this man who's homeless, and blind and suffering leprosy, and he says to him, How
could you say this? You know, imagine, you have blindness and leprosy and all the and you're
		

			homeless, and you are saying that Allah saved you protected you from the tests of other people? What
tests did Allah not give you? A law gave you all the tests. And so the man said we had he said well
on to you. He said, didn't Allah give me the sun and Kira didn't give me a tongue that reminds that,
that is reminding of a loss of habitat. There are minds that thinks about a loss of habitat and
engages in Vic, well Alban Shakira didn't Allah give me a heart that is grateful to Allah subhana wa
tada and did an Allah subhanaw taala give me patience, to persevere over these tests he gave me in
my body. And so he said, Allah has given me far more than what he has given other people that he
		

			gave him this connection to a lot the remembrance of Allah and gratitude in his heart. Before we
conclude, inshallah, I want to talk about how can we be thankful of a loss of handle to either,
first of all, one of the recipes of gratitude is not to be greedy for more, right, the profits a
little longer it was sent him said, couldn't burn and Teflon, Ash could be content with what Allah
has given you the content, you will be the most grateful of people, the most thankful of the people
be content, and you will be grateful and proud of law in our culture.
		

			It's difficult to be content, the person goes on social media, they go through Instagram, all they
see is all this person is on vacation, this person has this kind of house, this person has this kind
of car, and they just see one picture after another and they see what other people have. And so they
feel for themselves, I don't have very much, the Prophet says, Be content with what Allah has given
you. And this leads to, you know, the idea of looking to those who have less than you. Consider
those who have less than you the profits in the long run,
		

			are 11, who attended 11 o clock, look to those who have less than you in the dunya don't look to
those who are more than you in the dunya why vain now, as though Allah is very natural, organic,
because when you look to those who are more than you, you are more likely to underestimate the
blessings of Allah subhana wa Tada, you underestimate what Allah has given you. Allah gave you a
lot, but you can't see it now because all you do is look up to the people who have more than you.
When you look to the people of less than you, the people who struggle to eat the people who struggle
in their lives. He said, The law of law gave me a law give me more than he gave other people on hand
		

			to the left, you begin to realize the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala. And likewise, we need to be
aware of our blessings, know what the blessings are, that we see in our lives to consciously
actively try to identify blessings we see in our life. Unless parent Allah said about prophet nor
honey he sent them in Okanagan Shakira. He was a grateful servant in the Tafseer, even though the
Allahu anhu said, when he commented on this verse, he said, Man, listen, God will act upon us. Illa
Hamad Allah for the vatika Salida de la no abdon shahpura that
		

			we're out in the water Island, and because he would think a lot to kind of tie that with each of
these things and us consciously thinking about us constantly. constantly thinking consciously
thinking about the world.
		

			lessons of Allah subhanaw taala Allah subhanaw taala mentioned him and spoke about him as a servant,
grateful servant. And for another method for us to be grateful for the loss of habitat that is to
make due to a loss of habitat. Well Father obidos era initial and aromatic ality and Antonio,
		

			beautiful to see my lord enable me to be grateful to the blessings that you have given me and upon
my parents to be grateful of the blessings that my parents have given me as well. And the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		

			said to my husband, we alone,
		

			tell you have
		

			words that you should say, at the end of every sauna, at the end of end of every sign is actually
the Ross I didn't begin anything. Oh, wow. I love you. I love you. And then he said, Omar actually
tell you something to say at the end of each letter. He said, what is it that I should say? He said
all along that I need to click or Chicago was the only guy that he said that maybe this two hours in
your life helped me and aid me to remember you to be grateful to you and to have excellent character
and to as our into a worship with excellence, or Krishna, Nevada to worship you with excellence. The
fifth method for us to be grateful to almost penalty is to thank the people for things that they
		

			have done on our behalf Malaysia greenness, let me assure you that whoever has not faded the people
has not been a loss of Hannah Montana. And finally, number six, for us to realize that no matter how
much we spend on one soldier, we can never fully think no matter how much we think, and we can never
fully thank him. And it was mentioned that one of the prophets said to almost come with it at all,
how can I thank you, one of the facts that I think you requires me to be thankful for the fact that
I'm able to thank you, I have, you know, enough guidance and consciousness and ability to think of
the blessings and to thank you is something that I need to thank you for. And so it was held their
		

			hand and said, if you know this, and this is the maximum amount of sugar that a person can have the
maximum amount of gratitude is to realize, understand that we can never fulfill gratitude to a loss
of Hannah what, because of this reality, no matter how much we think a lot, we are still in debt to
a lot. And if we realize is that will keep us from falling into arrogance, and to realize that we
need to constantly turn to a loss of humans either with gratitude. And the reality, you know,
especially over this year,
		

			where there's been so much trouble and problems that have occurred,
		

			you know, being grateful to us kind of the height of the headsets, our mental health. And there's
been a lot of studies on this path in this regard. You know, UC Davis has a study of people that
were suffering from depression. And they told them, we took a group of them and told them all you do
every day, wake up in the morning, write a letter of things to be grateful for. And they did this
and the people that group that did this. We're far happier, by the end of just a short period of
time, or just two weeks, you are far happier than depression lifted significantly than the group
that didn't do this. And so the more you're able to allow us to either the more alone gives you in
		

			this world and in the next world would in Chicago from less even the home if you are grateful. And
indeed Allah will give you more in a law of Milan introducing me Yeah, you know, somebody who was
named Sima alongside he was in a harness. He didn't want to be in a way Have you been long forgotten
him in the medical otaku when I'm abroad? Also the Matador sundiata Europa salatu wa sallam and then
he really didn't want to do what he was hiding until you've been fighting. Well, I mean, well, I you
know, I saw him along with other female
		

			colleagues as
		

			well.
		

			However, to do no one else who are here to look at either one or nothing else. In our latest
interview, I'm going to go hammer I mean, along as it is now on Simeon, where are the public
accounting that's unhappy with Dean along with the man was able to be here in
		

			Santa Rosa not rushing in, in Omaha. Hi, everyone. I'm glad that you in so many ways have been
pulled back when Hannah
		

			was relying on Coco marshmallow and that he has gone
		

			low reanimate snuggling up the bottom side
