			one of the most important internal acts of worship that every Muslim needs to master is the concept
of the world of trusting Allah subhanho wa taala. This is a concept that many people must
understand. And many of us are unaware of how to do it. But it's also a concept that is necessary to
help us through difficult times. Because life is a test. And everyone's going to face difficult
times in their lives. And everyone's going to have to deal with difficult scenarios in their life
that they cannot understand. And the workload is one of those things that gets you through the
difficulties. And the lives of the early Muslims was full of great examples of pure Tawakkol.
		

			We see this when Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, was exiled from Makkah.
		

			Think about it Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi, wasallam, was native to Makkah, he was a market in
terms of his his ancestry, his tribe, everything he did, he belongs to people from Africa. But
still, the people turned against him because of his message. And they kicked him out. And they
attempted to assassinate him. And he said that, if it wasn't for the fact that my people had turned
me out, I would never have left this land, it's the most beloved land to me. You compare that to
today, why today what's happened to the people of Gaza, it's very similar, they are being turned out
of their land, that they are native to a land that they are biologically the people. And it's a very
		

			similar situation. Yet we see when Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and the Sahaba were forced
to leave their land, they did so with firm Tawakkol, that Allah knows what's best for us. Allah has
a plan. And today's this concept of the workflow that I want us to have a refresher or any reminder
about because this is what gets us through these difficult times. Understand that in this world,
things will happen that we don't like things will happen, that are tragedies that are traumatic.
		

			But as Muslims, our approach to these things, is to understand that if something is outside of our
control, and it happens, and it is something that we don't like, we understand it is part of the
broader word of Allah. And he's part of the bigger plan of Allah. And it may be that we dislike
something. But in the long run, it is part of Allah's plan. And we see this word Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that had these people now turned against him, he would not have that
backup, but he was part of the plan of Allah, then he had to leave Moscow and go to your trip, for
your trip to become Medina during the week, to become the beloved city, for Medina to become the
		

			center of Islam, for Islam to grow from there and spread throughout the world. This negative event
of what it seems like from a worldly perspective of the Muslims being kicked out of the homeland,
turned out to be one of the most important events, if not the most important event in our history.
Why do I say the most important event because we literally start our calendars with this event with
the Hijra.
		

			And I want us to look at anything that happens in the world today. globally or locally. That seems
negative. We must look at it from this broader perspective of Allah Lucas. And there's a beautiful
verse in the Quran in surah, tauba, related to this content, right, a surah dooba. You know, we tend
to talk about it as the jihad sutra, right? But it's also the workload here. It's also the workload
sooner because there's many, many verses in Surah Doba, who wanting people to put their trust in
Allah, many sections in the Surah they call people to put their trust in Allah. And what beautiful
section towards the middle of the surah verse number 51. The sutra was revealed within the context
		

			that many of the booklets of Medina they did not want to go for the expedition of the book. Right?
Many of the verses in the Surah are linked to the expedition of them. So what was the expedition of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam after the Muslims had gained power after he had established a
presence in Arabia, he formulated an army to march towards the land of the war to fight the
Christians, specifically the Romans and their allies. Now no battle actually
		

			in place, it was a show of power. Why? To show that the Muslim is now strong enough to face the
superpowers, but no actual battle took place. The actual test here was the debacle of the people.
Are you wanting to match out into the desert to face a superpower for the sake of Allah? This was
the actual test. So most of the verses related to taboo are not about battles, but actually about
the workload. Do you trust Allah? That's what the what the actual test is. So some of the people of
Makkah started to make excuse of Medina decided to make excuses. He started to see, you know, so one
of the excuses mentioned specifically in this verse, one of the people of Medina said that he finds
		

			Roman woman very attractive. So going for jihad against it wouldn't be a fit country. Right? Very
easily excuse. So Allah mentioned this directly, he says from them are those who say that I don't
want to be tested. I don't want to deal with any people. Allah says you've already failed the test.
By not wanting to join the Prophet's army, you've already failed the test you thinking about
secondary tests in the bigger test. And then he mentioned the other attributes to making. The other
excuse they were making is, whenever the Muslim were victorious in one hour, you know, joining the
celebration that yeah, we're proud of you we also victorious whenever the Muslims lost, they would
		

			see like, are these is this really the true religion? Like, you know, bad things are happening to
them? You know, if you see a real profit, why are bad things happening? And it shows the most
understanding that some people have about religion, right? And why do many people actually have this
misunderstanding? They have this misunderstanding that, if Islam is true, in Muslim should always
win.
		

			This is a misunderstanding. If Islam is true, the Muslim should always win is a misunderstanding. We
go back to the story of Iraq. Yes, when you are supposed to be on all those questions about the
Prophet, one of those questions. Did you fight any battles? Yes, who wants sometimes he wants
something reward? What exactly you're saying. That's the case of the prophets. Sometimes they win,
sometimes they lose. Some prophets had no followers, some prophets in civilizations were destroyed
by by Allah because nobody followed them. Right. Do not does not guarantee worldly victory. So Allah
addresses this. And he says full how them how the people who think that nothing bad should happen to
		

			you if you are believer that you should always win if you're a believer, tell them name you see, in
the market of Allah. Nothing bad will happen except what Allah has written.
		

			except what Allah has written, meaning.
		

			We march out with the workbook we face our trials in live with the workbook, we deal with this world
with the workbook understanding full well, that if anything bad happens to us, it is Allah for them.
It is Allah Allah Allah has written because Allah has already written when all of us will pass away,
Allah has already written if something bad's going to happen, right? If someone is meant to get a
sickness, it's going to happen. It's called an Allah. If someone is meant to pass away at a young
age, it's going to happen to the father of God. Nothing bad happens except what Allah has written
for us. Who are Molalla, who was Mowlana, he is our modem. What does this mean? Allah is moderna, he
		

			is our modem. It means that Allah is our owner, he's our Protector. He's our lead. He's the one who,
who guides us who protects us. With our law, he funded the work on what we know. And it is upon
Allah that the believers who did the work, it is in Allah that the believers placed into work. So A,
this verse was revealed, because they were a group of people in Medina, who were making this excuse
that they come March out into the desert, some people might die some people might miss out on their
crops, this might happen that might happen you might lose as the reply was, nothing's gonna happen
except what Allah was put into what Colleen Allah and do what Allah has commanded you to do. And I
		

			want us to reflect today on this concept of the Whirlpool and how it works. one more verse from
Surah Tauba. That's very important about the Whirlpool is the closing verses.
		

			Right? The closing verse of Surah doba. Allah subhanaw taala in the sutra, we're saying
		

			we're in the world, if they turn away for food and say it has to be Allahu Allah. Who are they into
what God do? What will Robert Archer say has to be Allah? Allah is enough for me. La ilaha illa
there is no God besides Him. Are they he the workout to a place my workload in him? I trust him.
What were Abu archers him he is the Lord of the Mighty Joe is powerful versus powerful too. There is
a disease that states that it is sunnah to recite this to every morning and evening seven times.
Every morning and evening memorize this was right. Has to be a golf hula hoop or they hit the
workout to what we're actually memorized is Versa diesel you should see this every morning and
		

			evenings.
		

			Different times for protection if you wanted to main protection to us in that I mentioned in the
Hadees, which is the closing verse of Surah, October, but again, looks through October ends with
what are the heat the workout, I put my Tawakkol in Allah. I put my Tawakoni so what is the word?
The word goal is a mindset. The word goal is a mindset. It's a way of looking at the world. It's a
way of thinking about things. It's not something you physically do. And it shouldn't stop you from
physically doing whatever you can do. Right? That's another misunderstanding of the workbook.
Because Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the greatest role model of the workforce. But he
		

			always took the actions. Within it was the hijra, whether it was the battles, whether it was the
Dawa, whether it was teaching, he always took his actions, but he put his the work put in Allah, the
work will means that you believe in the broader plan of Allah, you understand that nothing happens
except for Allah wills, you understand that even if things don't go your way, there is some clarity
that there's some benefit in that you understand even if the Muslims lose, that is part of the word
of Allah. And there may be some benefit in that in the long run that we don't understand. And there
are many stories in the Quran, that drive home this point that we should have the workbook. The most
		

			famous of these stories is the story of use of Elisa, use of Annie salah, look at his journey, why
he is thrown in a well, he sold into slavery, he is slandered and thrown into prison.
		

			But throughout all of this, he remains committed to Allah. He keeps his Tawakoni Allah, you
understand all of this is part of the broader plan of Allah. At the end, he emerged victorious as
the leader of Egypt. But all of these things had to happen for him to get there. We see the workload
in the story of Ibrahim alayhi salam, when he's thrown into the fire.
		

			And he certainly puts his trust in Allah, and Allah makes the fire food for him. That right till
that last moment, a moment the other people would despair, a moment where the average person would
fall apart, is simply trusting Allah Subhana Allah, that the workbook is there in every prophets
lives, we see in the story of each and every prophet when Musa alayhis salam goes to the court of
Allah, to convey the message to him, he walks in with the wall, because he knows very well that
Pharaoh could immediately have Him executed not just for the message, but for the reason that he ran
away, right? That he was, he had killed a man by by mistake. And he was he was wanted for murder,
		

			right. And Pharaoh does bring it up, but he doesn't take action against him. It takes the worker to
stand up, and to say this knowing that something could happen to you, knowing that you could be
killed. This is the way we see the world throughout the lives of the sahaba. We see this in the
story again in Toronto. But the story is mentioned as an example of the story of during the Hijra
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam in Abu Bakr, they are in the cave. And
		

			the people are coming nearby and if they spot them, it's over that moment, is it Allah is with us?
Don't worry, Allah is with us. Again, this is mentioned in the same surah. You see why is the suit
of the worker, suit a worker is a mindset. It's a mindset we need to have in every aspect of our
life. When you start a business, you start a business with the workbook, I'm going to do my best
effort, I'm going to work my hardest, I'm going to do everything in my power to make this business
profitable. But at the end of the day, whatever I earn or don't earn is the bother of Allah. At the
end of each day, I will accept what have earned for that day, I will be satisfied we will have
		

			another race for the day. And I understand that this is part of the product and of Allah. So it may
be that you start the business and you work your hardest, but the business doesn't work out. And he
goes bankrupt. Keep it the walkway, Allah understand that wasn't meant for you, maybe there's
something better for you. Right? Maybe you working a job and you worked really, really hard at that
job, and you get fired.
		

			To walk the walk well in this situation, is to understand that Allah knows what's best for me,
perhaps there's something better for me out in this job. And Allah is directing me towards that. And
if I didn't get fired, I wouldn't even think about that. So Tawakkol itself is a mindset. It's a way
of thinking it's a way of looking at the world. And it means looking at the world from the
perspective that Allah is in control.
		

			And Allah being in control doesn't mean we always go into Allah in being in control means that
whatever happens, whether it's for us or against us in terms of dunya in the long run, it is part of
the broader plan of Allah subhanho wa taala.
		

			And this is how we need to approach not just in the international events that are happening, but
even the child in our own life. It may be that someone you love passes away
		

			Put into work. It may be that you lose a job to get the workload in Allah, it may be that your
business you're not doing well could get the workload in Allah, the workflow doesn't mean you stop
your efforts. But it simply means you trust the broader plan of Allah, and you keep trying, and you
keep working to earn Allah's help. And if you feel that something is not working out at all, perhaps
Allah is pushing you in a different direction, for something that may be better for you.
		

			The benefit of the worker is it keeps you safe.
		

			It keeps you safe. It keeps you
		

			optimistic. It prevents you from disappearing and and becoming anxious and losing hope in this
world. Because Can you imagine if someone out there doesn't believe in Allah, they don't believe in
Allah. They don't believe in Tawakkol they don't believe in God. How do they process grief? How do
they process all of the bad things happening in the world. If you don't have this connection with
Allah, you can literally go mad and suicidal from the bad things that happen in this world. The work
will keep you grounded.
		

			It keeps you going through the most difficult of situations. You know, like with the sahaba.
Whenever someone they love passed away, they put the workload in Allah and accepted this is the
father of Allah, nothing bad will happen except what Allah will Allah will for this person to pass
away. And we see this today. Also, if you want to understand the workload today, if you want to see
a model of the world today, look at the people of Gaza. That is our model today of the workforce.
They fully live by this concept that nothing will happen to us except what Allah has.
		

			Nothing will happen to us except for Allah as well. And they put the workload in Allah. And when
someone passes away, they handle it with that the worker with that firm, imagine that Allah knows
what is best for us. And they don't lose hope in the broader goal. They don't lose hope in the
broader mission. They don't lose hope that one day victory from Allah will come.
		

			And perhaps this viewer Allah chose them to me than them. So they are the models for the rest of the
world of real EMA and real Tawakkol and real acceptance of God while still making your efforts to do
what is necessary.
		

			And ask Allah to grant us and everyone else amongst the module the work goes on to help us to
understand things and to accept things and to have patience and to have have to have strength and we
ask Allah to put our victory to the people of Palestine 200 Rebecca Robin is the is the one who said

			How do you increase your Tawakkol? Maybe that you know this concept. You read about it you hear
about in the lectures, you don't know how to do it. How do you have the word? I want us to just go
over three ways three practical ways of increasing the workload. Number one, learn about the names
and attributes of Allah. Learn about the names and attributes of Allah, the better you understand
Allah, the mortar worker you have when you understand that Allah is all knowing, it increases your
Tawakkol when you understand that Allah is Most just it increases your Tawakkol. When you understand
that Allah Subhana Allah is the one who controls everything. He's already written it down in
		

			November foods, it increases your Tawakkol
		

			when you understand nothing happens except for Allah wills increases you in
		

			every one of us should take time to study the names and attributes of Allah to internalize these
concepts and to use them to increase our power. So step number one, learn the names and attributes
of Allah. The more you understand the names, the attributes of Allah, the more concrete the Tawakkol
in your heart to read.
		

			Number two, learn the undercard. Learn the words to say for the sake of for having the workbook
right I mentioned the one to radova has to be Allahu Allah. Allahu alayhi the workout do what will
Raghu urgency right learn this tool to the other one the more famous one has when Allah when you
walk you learn in a car when you feel anxiety so it has been alone in my work you when something
goes wrong see husband Allah when Mr. Lucky when things aren't going your way when things aren't
going right in the in the broader political scene say husband Allah when Inverlochy
		

			these are God these Vickers these remembrance of Allah. They are directly linked to Tawakkol
		

			And the impact of these statements when you reflect on them and recite them often is that they will
increase your connection with Allah, they will reduce your anxiety, and they will help you to
realize this is all part of the broader fan of Allah and to accept it.
		

			Right? This is the second step to increasing our workflow. So step number one is that you understand
who Allah is you learn his name to attributes, step number two is increasing your ASVAB increasing
physical learning this equals specifically linked to Tawakkol. And step number three, is to take
actions. Take action, if you are working towards the goal, take action,
		

			to take action but knowing full well that you are only accountable for your actions, not for the
results. And this is something that we all need to realize, in Islam. What Allah asks of us, whether
it's in terms of doing Dawa, whether it's terms of organizing Islamic events, whether it's in terms
of politics, all Allah Our service is to try our best
		

			to results and Allah says, the results are in Allah's head, you just have to try your best, and
Allah will reward you actions. So part of the workflow is that we take action, that we do what is
necessary from our side, and we leave the results to Allah.
		

			A misunderstanding of the work goal is that you sit at home and you expect money to pour from the
sky. Right, that is a misunderstanding. Rather Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that we
will end with this hadith
		

			or should Allah Azza wa know Some said that if you truly understood Allah, if you truly understood
this concept, then you will be like the birds. They leave home in the morning and they come back
with
		

			me meaning if you truly understood the workbook, you will live your life like the birds, what did
the birds do? They go out looking for food, and they come back. Right? This is the workbook that you
do what's necessary to earn your risk. But you trust Allah is the one that provides not the means.
Right? And studies show both sides on one hand, internally, the birds trust Allah, but externally,
they are taking the actions leaving the nest, they're not staying at home expecting things to
happen. Right? So the main parts of the workflow to help us increase number one, study the name and
attributes of Allah. Number two, learn the scar, see the statements often. Number three, make sure
		

			that you are doing what you can make sure you are taking action. Don't just sit back and say oh, we
put our trust in Allah nothing we can do about it. No, there are things you can do about it. Right,
especially now with the broader political issue. There are things we can do about boycotts,
protests, spreading the church, countering propaganda, there are things we can do about it, to what
is within your capabilities, but for the ultimate result, the end result to check the workload in
Allah Allah knows best, Allah knows best in the long run, what is best for this coma and sometimes
that is victory. Sometimes it is not fixed. But we still have to do what is within our means for the
		

			sake of Allah and that is part of the work. That is part of having to ask Allah to grant victory to
people that Palestine, you ask Allah to end their trials, and to remove all titles from the Middle
East and to replace them or righteous rulership. We asked for Washington Hannah with the other
		

			to allow this woman to rise up once again and to become an ummah of glory and power, and a model for
