Why Allah Jimmy minister Nebuchadnezzar was the SRO, Elijah Medina, another add all praises due to a law alone. And then we seek aid and assistance and to Him we turn both in repentance and for forgiveness. truly human loss of Hannah, what's Allah guides,

00:01:08--> 00:01:55

none can mislead, and he Humala leaves to go astray there is none who can guide and I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship, save a lot alone. And now Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is both his slave and His Messenger, Allah subhanho wa Taala sent us prophets and messengers and he chose them from amongst all of the people from amongst all of mankind. So Allah subhana wa ins says, Allah who is a female metta, it gets useful and woman and ness, that indeed it is God was chosen messengers from amongst the angels, and amongst the people, and Allah Subhana, which Allah has made these messengers, as leaders for mankind, and as examples for humanity to emulate. And so

00:01:55--> 00:02:40

Allah subhanho wa Taala says Lapa de Candela Confucius who deny osawatomie escena leemon canaille, July, William and athfield, that indeed, there has been for you, in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example for anyone who has hope in God, and in the last day, and Allah Subhana, what's has ordered us to follow the path of the prophets in the messengers and all of the affairs. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, we can levena had a law for the Buddha homestudy, Allah Subhana, Allah to Allah says that these are those whom God has guided, and so in their guidance, in their example, seek your guidance. And so whoever examines the Prophets, and the messengers of the past, and our

00:02:40--> 00:03:21

Prophet sallallahu Adi, who will send them, they would see that all of them were beautified with certain characteristics with certain virtues that allow them to be the ones who led the nations rather than than then being the ones who are lead that allowed them to be the ones who imparted wisdom to the people, rather than being the ones who assumed the attitude and the beliefs of the people that surrounded them, that allowed them to be the ones who were victorious and triumphant rather than them being the ones who were unsuccessful or failed. And so whenever the prophets and the believers excelled in these virtues, whenever they beautified themselves in this character, and

00:03:21--> 00:04:03

allow them to increase in their honor, and allow them to increase in their glory, and allow them to increase in their faith and in their religion, and have the greatest of these virtues, and of this character, a virtue and a character that we are in desperate need of a character in a virtue that we are in need of establishing in this oma today, that is indispensable for every human being, particularly those who are in a capacity of leadership. And that is mentioned often whenever Allah subhana wa tada describes the condition of the profits and the condition of the messengers, a virtue that was present throughout the life of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and all of

00:04:03--> 00:04:45

his situations, whether he was in his city or whether he was traveling, whether he was hungry, or whether he had eaten, whether he was drinking, or whether he was starving for water, hoping to starve you out of thirst looking for water, whenever whether the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was pleased or angry, whether he was in a state of peace or a state of war, he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam always had this virtue, this character and encouraged his companions to act by it, and it is the virtue of being optimistic. It is the virtue of having beautiful thoughts about Allah subhanho wa Taala. It is holding a positive outlook towards the future. And this is something that we are in

00:04:45--> 00:04:59

desperate need of that no matter how excessive our pain is, no matter how great the wars we see against us are, no matter how often we are tested and tried with division, and with disunity, and with disagreements.

00:05:00--> 00:05:42

is imperative for the believer to constantly look towards the future with a sense of optimism to constantly look towards the future with a sense of positivity. Look at how Allah subhana wa tada describes prophets Musashi has sent him when he was standing before him, and can find between SC before him and between an army after him intent on killing him and killing all of his companions. And he said, as he stood there, and he heard his companion say to him in the budokon, that indeed we are going to be overcome, we are going to be ruined, we are going to be slaughtered and destroyed. And while he stood there, he had this sense in this virtue of optimism, this sense in this virtue of

00:05:42--> 00:06:23

positivity, so he's a pilot Canada is a no you are wrong. No, this is not correct. In Europe bc Dean, rather My Lord is with me and He will guide me he has confidence in Allah subhanho wa Taala confident in holding beautiful thoughts about Allah subhanho wa Taala. He is confident that Allah is the Most Merciful. He is confident that Allah protects the believers, he is confident that Allah will show him mercy in his weakness, that alone will give him strength. Even though there are few in numbers, he is confident that a lot is not going to leave him after he has struggled and given everything he can for the sake of a law for the sake of law. In the law, he will not cause him to be

00:06:23--> 00:07:05

ruined and fit down to be victorious in that standing and above all, and above all, he knows and he is confident that Allah subhanho wa Taala will not abandon his servants can let in no matter your deen no rather My Lord is with me and He will guide me and so Allah subhana wa tada reveals to him and a little bit also I can borrow that strike with your with your stuff with the sea and Allah subhanho wa Taala causes the seats apart and for Moosa and first companions to be saved. This is the one in the villa, this is holding beautiful thoughts about Allah subhanho wa Taala have an optimism towards the future, recognizing and having the knowledge that so long as I am upon the right path,

00:07:05--> 00:07:44

so long as I am upon the correct path, that Allah subhanho wa Taala is my Lord and He is the law of him, he is the one who is great. And so if I am in a state, where I am being oppressed, and he is the one who will give me victory, if I am in a state in which I am weak, then he is the one who will help me if I am in a state of hardship, and he is the one who is going to give me his mercy and then go with me into into his mercy. And jacoba has sent him when he was afflicted with the pain in the hardship of his son being taken away from him. And after years and years and years of his son being taken away from him. And yeah, forgot he said I'm struggling with this hardship, crying and tears

00:07:44--> 00:08:23

flowing year after year of praying to Allah subhanaw taala. And then his sons come to him and they tell him his youngest son, when the amin has been caught stealing and now he has been taken away from him. And Yahoo body has sent them suffering through this pain of use of being taken from him. And now the pain of another one of his sons being taken from him. He turns full of optimism. He churns full of positivity and beautiful thoughts about Allah subhanho wa Taala, despite the hurt and the hardship that he has gone through, so he turns to his sons, and he says yeah, but we have to assess when we use of our Effie, when you assume the role of law in

00:08:24--> 00:09:09

law in local McAfee when he says to his sons, all my sons go and find out and seek knowledge find out about Eustace and his brother when that's a law and do not despair from the relief of a law. Indeed, no one despairs from the relief of a lot except those who disbelieve he says to them that I have beautiful thoughts about Allah subhanaw taala that you will not cause my drive to be lost that he will show me mercy in my old age that he will help me in defend me in my weakness that he is the one who will be with me in my hour of need and having fun to have sesame news for elfi go and seek use of his brother went to SRO lab and do not despair from the mercy of Allah subhana wa Tada. Do

00:09:09--> 00:09:48

not despair from the mercy of Allah azza wa jal do not despair, with the beauty and the excellence of Allah subhanho wa Taala that he will show you do not despair from the goodness that Allah subhana wa tada will bring upon you rather seek the blessing of Allah subhanaw taala and every path and search for it and follow it in every place that you can find it and do not despair that it will reach you. Nothing as mineral mineral Allah do not disappear from the relief in the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala in the hula lie in the coalmine. caphyon no one despairs from the mercy of God except those who disbelieve and when Allah subhana wa Taala mentioned to us those who disobeyed

00:09:49--> 00:09:58

those who fell into major sins those who fell into major faults he said to us, well yeah, he bad Yella DNS rafiu Allah and foresee him nattopharma tomorrow

00:10:00--> 00:10:39

All right Mantilla little lost, I don't want to say all my servants who have been excessive against themselves. And Allah subhanho wa Taala is not speaking to those who are excessive against themselves with excessive prayer. He is not speaking to those who are excessive in their charity or excessive in their fasting or excessive in giving their souls for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. Rather he's speaking about those who are excessive in their sins, those who are excessive and drinking alcohol. Those who are excessive in falling into Zina are different types of immoral sins, those who are excessive in every type of evil that they pursued, a loss of Hannah Medina speaks to

00:10:39--> 00:11:20

them and he talks to them and he says to them, and he orders them before everything else to be optimistic. So he tells them not not to me rotten law, do not despair from the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala even if they have sinned, even if they have been the champions of evil and of sin, even if they have been oppressive and unjust towards themselves, that they end they have forgotten the commandments of Allah subhanho wa Taala a lot orders them first before everything else, do not despair from the mercy of Allah subhana wa Tada. That's not human rights in law, do not disappear from the mercy of law. You are the ones who are dealing with a lord who is in Hawaii, a Lord Who is

00:11:20--> 00:11:58

the most strong, who does not who is not in need of your physical support. You're you're dealing with a Lord, who is no honey who is without need and and not in need of your wealth. you're engaging with the Lord who is merciful, who is whose mercy overcomes his anger, you are engaged with the Lord who was an Allah who was the most high who has not benefited by your acts of worship, nor is he harmed by your acts of disobedience. And so be optimistic and have beautiful thoughts throughout all of this. When the bad you're living in a sort of wild, unforeseen laptop, nothing wrong with the law, all my servants who have been transgressive against themselves. Do not despair from the mercy

00:11:58--> 00:12:40

of Allah be optimistic, even if you have drunk alcohol, be optimistic, even if you have fallen, fallen into immoral sins, be optimistic, even if you have fallen short. Do not despair from the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Yes, the act of despair from the mercy of Allah is greater than the act of sin. And when Allah subhanaw taala describes the disbelievers and the hypocrites. He describes them by their affairs of this desperation from a loss of panatela by their pessimistic pessimism, when the when the affairs turned against them. Look at how Allah subhanaw taala mentioned and described the believers and the hypocrites during the Battle of Zeb when the Confederation the

00:12:40--> 00:13:05

unity of the tribes of Arabia came together to destroy the Muslims of Medina, and they surrounded the city and they can find the Muslims within it. And every one of the believers and the people of Medina felt like their death was imminent, was closer to them than even their own eyelashes. And as they stood in that state, Allah subhana wa tada describes the condition in the state of the believers. And he says, Well, I mean, one of

00:13:06--> 00:13:25

the one of the believers saw that when they saw the company of these armies, when they saw the gathering of the soldiers, when they saw the swords that were unleashed, preparing to slaughter them, when they saw the quantity of horses in men and army that the Arabs have never gathered in their history before that date.

00:13:26--> 00:13:32

And when they saw this, and they saw that it had been brought together to destroy them with a mirage,

00:13:33--> 00:14:17

that had been a lot worse. They said, This is what God and His Messenger has promised us. They said, This is what a loss of Hannah without as promised us when he promised us victory. This is the victory when he promised us glory. This is the glory of Allah subhanaw taala will then know that God has done a lot of water pseudo well, sunblock Allahu wa sudo and this is what God in His Messenger had promised us and indeed God and His Messenger have been truthful. And Allah subhanho to Allah says one woman in law way the law, but there is no there is no hand except the hand of God is over it. And so the armies have come with their weapons of war, preparing to destroy the believers and

00:14:17--> 00:14:38

the loss of Han Oh, it's either they recognize the strength of a loss of Hannah Tara, they recognize the mercy of a loss of handle to Allah, they recognize the help and the aid of Allah subhanho wa Taala that told me that they knew that since they had put in all of the efforts that they possibly could for the sake of the law, they know that Allah subhanho wa Taala is going to defend them and protect them on that day.

00:14:39--> 00:14:59

And Allah subhanaw taala says, woman as a man and with the schema and it did not increase them in anything except in fee and an acceptance and the recognizing and understanding that they sent to Allah subhanho wa Taala that they told a lot asila Jen, that they told Allah subhana wa Taala that we had done all that we can say

00:15:00--> 00:15:20

Or law help us and aid us in our time of need and our time of hardship. And when the last panel was added describe the hypocrites when they saw the scene or me when they saw the scene swords when they saw the scene horses when they saw the same gathering against them a loss of Hannah with Alice's adult belly button to run the soup. But they don't have

00:15:22--> 00:15:23

Rasulullah

00:15:25--> 00:15:27

Ibiza was Lena danika people become

00:15:28--> 00:15:41

so consumed Coleman Bora that Allah subhanaw taala says that you thought he tells us what was happening in the hearts of the hypocrites at that moment. When they saw that army gathering. They said, he said been volatile, and they will deliver rasuluh

00:15:42--> 00:16:16

Aveda that you thought that the prophets at the messenger and the believers would never returned back to their families. At the moment they saw the gathering of the tribes and their weapons, they have this assumption of evil, they have these evil thoughts about Allah subhanaw taala. They thought that this is the hour of death, the hour of death for the believers and for the Prophet, that they will never go back to their families that their children would become orphaned, that their wives would become widowed. They thought that their wealth would be taken as war booty. They thought that the moment they saw the army against them, but volunteen Wagner saw in the last panel dialysis, but

00:16:16--> 00:16:50

rather they thought the evil thoughts about Allah subhanaw taala was doing, you know, Daddy Catholic will obey Him. And this was beautified in their heart, every sign they saw was a sign that allowed them and encourage them to feel as though it was going to turn against them to feel as though they were going to be ruined. And they were going to be killed and they were going to be destroyed. And we see this today, how often are there Muslims who say the Muslims are ruined? The Muslims are destroyed? And you say to them, Why are you saying this? Why do you think this? They say look at what's happened to the Muslims in Syria and look at how the Muslims in Palestine have been

00:16:50--> 00:17:27

abandoned. And look at how the Muslims and Central African republican Republic have been massacred and look at how the Muslims and Burma have been burned alive and who has supported them and who has defended them. So they say look, all of the signs show that the Muslims are going to be destroyed, but they do not look for the signs that Allah subhanaw taala has placed amongst us the signs that the Muslims are aware of what's happening. And if we can't change it today, perhaps we will be able to change it in future generations that they don't look for the signs of positivity of optimism that Allah subhanaw taala has placed all around us was doing in a non equilibrium. This was beautified in

00:17:27--> 00:18:05

their heart they saw every sign as a sign of their destruction and they didn't look for the signs of the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala was learning to run the school and you had evil thoughts about Allah subhanaw taala evil thoughts about what was going to happen to you will come to Coleman bureaux, and you were people who are pessimistic so Allah subhanho wa Taala described them and criticize them about their pessimism. And this word can also mean water could also mean that they were ruined. And they were ruined indeed, because of their pessimism because of the fact that they could not see the beauty of the loss of anodyne at the mercy of the help of Allah subhanaw taala and

00:18:05--> 00:18:45

the affairs that surrounded them and look at our prophets a lot while he was sending them in the same battle while he was building the trench to defend the Muslims against this army and they are digging this trench and they are breaking the stones as they are digging beneath the earth and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as he is breaking these stones and is surrounded by an enemy that is multiple of their of their army by 234 or five times their size. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam breaks these stones, and he says Allahu Akbar, ot tumefactive Sham, Allahu Akbar, ooh, t tumour Fatty, fatty faddis Allahu Akbar, booty to my fatty Yemen. He says Allahu Akbar, I

00:18:45--> 00:19:23

have been given the doors of the kingdoms of a sham. And I've been given the doors of the Kingdom of Persia, and I've been given the doors of the Kingdom of Yemen, nonprofits have a law that says this, and he's seeing this, and he has this optimistic view of the future, even though they are confined, even though they are being seized, even though they are under attack, even though they don't know where to go and to hide in that situation. And the profits in the long run he was sending them is encouraging the believers to have an optimistic view of the future. They are surrounded by 10,000 soldiers, and he is saying we will have the kingdoms we will have the keys to the kingdoms of these

00:19:23--> 00:19:33

of these empires that have hundreds of 1000s if not millions of soldiers. This is having the optimistic view of the future. And this is the height of optimism.

00:19:34--> 00:19:59

Why? Because he knows the promises of Allah subhanaw taala because he knows that he believes what Allah subhanho wa Taala that says, Williams run a law firm in May and so that indeed God will give victory to those who give those who support Allah subhana wa Tada. What can I How can I you know, mean that indeed it is incumbent upon us to give victory to the believers and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam understood that optimism and having an

00:20:00--> 00:20:39

optimistic view towards the future. It is what needs the person towards righteous action. It is what leads the person to do good deeds to do good work. And that is not only in the matters of peace and war that we need to be optimistic, but rather during every facet of our life. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam once entered upon a man who was ill, he went to visit him. And when he entered upon this man, he's upon in their best shot law. He said, What is the son of the prophet SAW the law while you send them? When you enter when he sees people who are ill? He tells them that that's no harm. Behold, in sha Allah, may you be purified in sha Allah, may you be purified, meaning

00:20:39--> 00:21:17

May you be spiritually purified and cleansed of all of your sins, may all of your sins be removed because of this hardship that has been decreed for you because of this difficulty that you are living in. And it says, If the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa send them the same, even this illness, with everyone recognizes to be difficulty and hardship, it has a positive side, and the positive side is that a lot of xojo will remove your sins that Allah subhanaw taala will cleanse your soul When you meet Allah subhanho wa Taala that this illness will be a cause of you meeting Allah subhanaw taala and being closer to him when you meet him subhana wa Tada. So he said to houden, sha

00:21:17--> 00:21:59

Allah, may you be purified in sha Allah, may you be happy, may you feel this strength while you're battling this hardship, recognizing that as you are peers persevere and are patient during this hardship that indeed Your sins are being shed and you are being drawn closer to a loss of origin. But the man rejected this optimism and he insisted on holding on to a pessimistic view of what he was going through. So he said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam part of por la, he said purity purity, no, there is no purity here, but in Canada, he said Bella here handed him metaphor. He said, rather, this is a failure that is overflowing. This is a fever that is overflowing and

00:21:59--> 00:22:44

overpowering. Melania metaphor either she can carry you to zero, cool, and he said this is a overflowing fever on an old man, and it will cause him to visit his grave. This is a man who rejected any optimism. He said, This is the worst situation, this fever is not stopping this fever only gets more powerful and I am an old man therefore I am not capable of overcoming this fever and it will for sure cause me to die and take me to my grave. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him on f&m even he said yes, in that case, if you this is what you think if you are going to assume this pessimistic view, then this is the reality will come soon. Coleman Buddha, you have been

00:22:44--> 00:23:21

people who have who have been ruined because of your pessimism, it causes you to be ruined. He said for now, even Yes, then this is the case. If you if you adopt and embrace this pessimism that indeed, this is the only solution for you that you are going to die because of this. And the companion said, Indeed, he died because of this fever that he has taken. And look at today, when the scientists tell you about a placebo effect that when the person has good thoughts, when they have optimistic views will lie a lot as the person and without any help without any medicine, just having that optimistic view might allow them to overcome their illness and allow them to overcome their

00:23:21--> 00:23:39

difficulties. And so long as you have decided to be pessimistic, then you have decided that you are going to be the one who's going to lose that you are going to be the one who is not going to overcome that you refuse to see any any positivity then yes, you are going to be right and what it is that you think and when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam visited a woman that was sick

00:23:41--> 00:23:48

on the side, and he visited her and she entered upon her and he asked her what is your case? Or he said to her madikwe

00:23:50--> 00:24:21

Medina, what is it that you are in this hardship? She said, Paul and from Atlanta to Colombia, she said it is the fever. May God have no no blessing upon it. So she started to curse the fever that was upon her cursing the illness that was with her. So what did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say to her? He said on an attitude. He said, Do not curse the fever. Yes, even the fever, even the illness that the people have. He said don't curse it will lie even as good in it. He sees the good that is in it. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,

00:24:22--> 00:24:59

Do not curse the fever for common hope if gamma Coronado hottub. He said for India, he consumes your sins just like fire consumes the wood. And this is the virtue of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the characteristic of the Prophet it sought to send them that during all of his problems and his difficulties. He always looked to see the optimistic side. He always looked to see the side of optimism. He always looked to see the better side the brighter side of any difficulty that he was in. And so when he was walking through the streets of Mecca, walking through the streets of Mecca,

00:25:00--> 00:25:35

Longer did he hear the people call to him and say yeah, I mean, oh you who's trustworthy? No longer did he see them say to him? Yeah Hakeem Oh, you who was wise? Yeah, Kadeem, oh, generous one. They left all of these names that they used to call the prophets a lot while he was setting them. And instead, they reverted and began to take names that were evil whenever they would refer to the Prophet audience or to send them they would say, yeah, cadet Oh, liar. Yes. magician, yeah, cat, no soothsayer, they would say him and call him Colton, by all of these names. And when they wanted to refer to the prophets on the laquan, he was sending them in their poetry, they would not want to

00:25:35--> 00:25:53

call him Mohammad, because Mohammed means the one who is praiseworthy. So the inverted the name, and they call it him within them. So they would say him within them also, you know, what do you know, they know that within them is the one we have rejected. And that is the one that we have disobeyed and his religion is the one that we have rejected.

00:25:54--> 00:26:17

And the prophets will allow you to send them, seeing them, insult him and curse him. Every time you'd walk any path, you would hear the insults and the curse, and you would hear and see the effect of it on his companions. You would feel disheartened. When the people would insult and mock himself, Allahu Allah, you send them. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to them, and attach Ivana and Elias, Ronnie,

00:26:18--> 00:26:43

and why yesterday for Annie shettima polish, when he said, aren't you amazed how God has diverted away from me? The cursing, of grace and the curses upon me, there's swears and curses upon the arch enemy that God has inverted it. And the companions were amused by this is what do you mean every time we walk out, the people are cursing you and insulting you and saying this about you and not about you. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, but it

00:26:45--> 00:27:21

was not what he said, No, they're criticizing with them, the hundreds. And the prophets will allow you to send them through the sooner but he was actually showing them there's a positivity there cursing that different name, not actually my name, and the Prophet sallallahu. It was him throughout his life, he held this belief. Throughout this life, he held this idea. And brothers and sisters, we have to assume this idea, we have to embrace this positivity will lie. A law loves the person that when they see the sun, they're not complaining about its heat. Rather, they are thinking about its light and how it benefits them. And Allah loves those when they see the ocean. They don't think

00:27:21--> 00:27:58

about the people who drown in it. Rather they think about all those who passed over it. And when they see the ocean or they drink from it. They don't complain about its saltiness, but rather they recognize how Allah has blessed them through the oceans. This is how Allah subhanaw taala loves us. And this is this is what Allah loves amongst the people. And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he ordered us to assume the position of having beautiful thoughts about Allah and assuming positivity, no matter the difficulty of our lives. He said, Actually, I'm really not mean that how amazing are the affairs of the believer in the Roku fire, all of his affairs are indeed

00:27:58--> 00:28:31

good. every possible thing that can happen to you in your life is good for you. every possible affair that happens to you in your life is something that is good for you. Even if it is the sickness of your child, even if it is the death of your loved one, no matter what it is, it is good for you. And I saw that was a raw fish across Canada, Ohio, when I saw that tobacco raw for Sloboda Canada, Ohio. He said if he is afflicted, if he has given us before and upon him something good, then he is thankful that's good for him. And if he is afflicted with something evil, then he is patient and that's good for him. So I can have

00:28:32--> 00:29:03

all of his affairs, everything decreed for him has been good. When he said that he can let him in and this is from no one other than the believer, only the believer is able because of their belief in Allah subhanaw taala because of their connection with a law because of having beautiful thoughts about Allah subhanaw taala they're able to see the good in every situation that they are in.

There are too many people, they dislike something about their wife. And so they focus about it, it becomes the only thing they can think about. They focus about it 24 seven, they complain about it.
