			hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. I mean, what the he was happy
		

			about the title of our hotbar today is for those who are tested. This hotbar is a reminder, a
reminder for those who are experiencing difficulties and experiencing trials. And a reminder that
this world is a place of testing and a place of calamities.
		

			And many people are confused about this issue from amongst the non Muslims and from amongst the
Muslims as well. Just in this month of Ramadan, a non Muslim was sitting in my office, and he was
certain that there is no God and there is no creator. And his only argument was that if there is a
good God, why does He allow bad things to happen to people? Why are there trials on Earth? And many
of the Muslims think in the same way from youth asking the same questions from people asking, Why is
this happening to me? Why would Allah allow this to happen to me?
		

			And because of those reasons, then the importance of reminding ourselves behind or for the wisdoms
behind the trials and the tribulations. We begin with a verse where Allah Subhana Allah says in the
Quran in surah Al Baqarah M Huseby tomb and third hole Janita wala Maya to kumerow Levina Holloman
publikum Masjid homall Bazza odorata Allah Allah is saying, Do you think that you will enter
paradise without testing without any trials? Like the trials which have come to those who passed
before you? They were afflicted with poverty with misery with hardships Miss Sutton will Barcia Oh,
Dora was zero and they were shaken. hotter. Yeah, cooler. Rasulullah Dena Amano ma who matter
		

			nostril Allah, Allah in Nasrallah Hikari until those the messenger and those who believed with him
would ask
		

			When is the help of Allah coming? And then Allah says indeed the help of ALLAH is near.
		

			We find in the Hadith that Saudi Arabia cos are the Allahu Anhu he asked the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam he said au Nursey Usha, do Bella and which of the people are tested the most tested
with the most difficulty? So a Nabi sallallahu alayhi salam answered and be the prophets through my
fellow Phil Anthony. So the prophets first and then in lower degrees, religious people and in lower
levels of religiosity. You tell a Rajul Allah has been a man will be tested according to his
strength of of his religion or of his Eman for Encana, feeding his Alaba Z, the salah button, and if
he is strong in his religion, he will be tested with more strength we're in can if he didn't hear
		

			her faith and hope and if his religion and his Iman is weak, then the test will be lessened in
difficulty, while I as Al Bara, beloved and the trial will continue upon a servant of Allah had am
Shia Al Arab woman, Allahu habia until he is walking on this earth, and He has no sin whatsoever. So
we learned a number of things in this hadith. The first thing is it started with the prophets and he
Far be it from any believing man or woman to think why am I being tested? Well, the ones who were
tested the most were the best of humanity. The mighty Salam, He came to earth and he experienced
difficulty know how they Salam struggled for 950 years Ibrahim I didn't Salam was thrown into the
		

			fire is my aid was offered for sacrifice, use of was sold into slavery and at a cheap price at that
the Korea and insulin was cut in half. Yeah, here was beheaded. And a YouTube was patient and our
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam experienced all sorts of difficulties.
		

			So if the prophets experience difficulty, when why would we not expect to experience any kind of
difficulty in life. The other thing we learn from the hadith is that Allah subhanaw taala will give
you what you can bear. And his point is not to break you with difficulty. And that's why it said if
his is Iman is strong, he's tested with more strength, and if he's weak, it will be relieved of him
or it will be lessened or decreased. And in another Hadith, that mentions how Allah wants to wants
you to attain a higher rank, that you will not attain through your good deeds. So he will test you
with difficulty so you can reach that rank. And in another narration, it says he will test you will
		

			with difficulty and give you patience, just so you don't break so you can bear the test from Allah
subhanahu wa taala.
		

			And then the other thing we learn from the hadith is the connection with the Asherah the connection
with the next world
		

			that the Hadith said he'll be walking on this earth and there is not a single sin upon them. And
that's the whole idea. The whole idea is to meet Allah azza wa jal with no sins whatsoever. And
we'll see this in many other ahaadeeth and Asahi and the be Salalah. Salim said, My as Al Bara Bill
mini will mute me now that the trial will continue or the believing man and woman will continue to
be tested for NFC what what are the remedy? There will be tested in themselves health, what have
you, and in their wealth and in their children, or their children and their wealth in order had
young COLA to Allah wama Ali habia until they meet Allah azza wa jal and there is not a single sin
		

			upon them. So we see a strong link between what we go through in this world and the ephemera and
being sinless or at exploiting our sins until we are sinless on the Day of Judgment, when we meet
Allah subhanaw taala. The supernova of Allah on who he used to say, Sir, I will wager whether you
hypnotize saddle hubba the moments of pain erase the moments of sins and the moments where we commit
sins they're erased by the moments of pain that we experience and from the early Muslims they used
to say lol Bala lower Ragna and Allah He mythologies and had it not been for the calamities and
trials and tests on this earth, we would have come forth bankrupt on the Day of Judgment bankrupt in
		

			front of Allah subhanaw taala.
		

			And we will see the value of the tests here even more so on the day of judgment in the hadith of a
Tirmidhi and Nabi sallallahu alayhi salam said, yo do annual Afia the people have asked
		

			fear the people of wellbeing the people who are not tested with difficulty on this earth. They will
wish on the Day of Judgment Yokoyama, they will wish
		

			hut
		

			Hina you suddenly Jonnie Hina Europa lol Bella when they see the people who are tested with
difficulty, so to start over on the Day of Judgment, the people who are not tested much when they
see the people who are tested with difficulty on Earth, getting their reward, they will wish that
their skins were cut to pieces with scissors, because now they're seeing this is what you get when
you experience difficulty on Earth. This is all the reward you're getting with Allah azza wa jal I
wish I were cut to pieces with scissors my skin were cut to pieces with scissors just so I can get
reward on the day of judgment as well.
		

			And that's why we begin to understand other Hadith like the Hadith and Tirmidhi in Allah either or
the biblical hair or Gela hula, Kuba if Allah intends good for his servant, He will bring or bring
forth the trial or the test or the difficulty. And it's similar to the other Hadith where an a part
of it and if you saw Selim says we're in Allaha, either hubba Coleman Itala home and when Allah
loves a people who will test them, and for those who don't understand that they think what kind of
love is this? How is it that if Allah subhanaw taala loves you, He tests you with difficulty,
because the whole point Allah subhanaw taala loves you and he wants to remove your sins and that's
		

			what the difficulty will do. Allah subhanaw taala loves you and He wants you to be closer to him.
And nothing will bring you as close to Allah subhanaw taala with sincerity as when you have a
difficulty or a problem or a calamity in your in your life. So the scholars said or one of the
scholars said, he said men and Nursey Mullah TV moolah for far too sunny were in nama TV.
		

			Seattle empty Hani. He said that there are some people the the kindness and blessings of Allah don't
bring them near to him. But what brings them near are the whips of tribulation. So and we have seen
this with our very eyes during our lifetime. We have seen this happening in front of our own eyes
when people were tested, and how close they were to Allah azza wa jal. One person said that I had a
problem in my family. So he said, I would get up without an alarm clock for a year 4pm I will pray
Russia, and without an alarm clock without singing us missing a single day for a year I would get up
and I would pray to Him will lead and I would ask Allah subhanaw taala and then when Fajr comes, I'm
		

			at the mercy of praying Fajr he says then Allah subhanaw taala relieves me of my problem. And he
said, Well, Allah, hey, it's been years. I barely even get up professionally. I can count on a few
hands. How many times oh, even got up for Fajr look at the difference between this person and his
worship and his closeness to Allah azza wa jal when he was being tested with difficulty versus when
Allah subhanaw taala relieved the difficulty and we understand of course, that everyone is
different, but we are discussing some of the possible wisdoms behind something. So in light of these
explanations, now, we understand when the woman at the time of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam,
		

			and she was afflicted with seizures. She came and she asked the Prophet salallahu salam to make dua
for her to be cured. And the president tells her in Shi T TAO to law her lucky for cash if I'm Vicki
we're in Shi T.
		

			foetus Marina were killed Jana. He said if you like I'll ask Allah subhanaw taala and he will
relieve you of what you are afflicted with. Or if you like you can be patient and to you will be a
Jana. Again we see a direct relationship between tests in this world and results in the hara called
pilot or spirit Wilier Jana agenda, she said, I will be patient and I will get agenda. But then she
asked for one thing, which is what any righteous woman would be thinking of and it will be the top
of her concerns. She said what can Allah Allah attack a chef but at least ask ALLAH that I am not
uncovered when I have my seizures that I am not uncovered? A cola COLA that was stopped for Allah
		

			Allah. They will look for me, Jimmy, I don't know. First of all, Fairphone Mr Vereen, ask Allah
subhanaw taala first forgiveness Indeed, those who ask for his forgiveness shall prosper.
		

			hamdulillah
		

			noble Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Hill. I mean, while he was here Jemaine about
Brothers and Sisters in Islam, calamities and tests, they will cease, they will end. Once you set
your first foot into paradise, a lot of people, one of their confusions they want they describe a
world where no one gets hurt where no one slips and falls where no one gets cut, where bones don't
break. What they're essentially describing is agenda. But on Earth, we all experienced these
difficulties. And that's how Allah subhanaw taala planned it and that's how Allah azza wa jal
intended it. And indeed, it is paradise that helps people become patient with the difficulties of
		

			this world. It is the next life and the reward, the reward and the expansion of sins. That is what
helps you become patient with difficulty in this life. But with that, a few important points, the
first of which never forget the good that you currently have, just because of one test of
difficulty, or because of some bad. And don't forget the good that you've had in the past. Ottawa
admits the bear when he lost his leg and his son on the same day, he said Allahumma in Kentucky a
hug for Cuddapah eight, he said, Oh Allah, if you have taken meaning, you've taken one of my sons,
you've taken a limb, you have indeed, given you've given a lot to me, and you've given a lot before
		

			that we're in Quinta for the pilot forgot our fate. And if you have tested, you have given me You
have given well being you have given a Lafayette and wealth and a good state and well being many
times before that. So he didn't forget all the good that he had, just because he was tested with
some kind of difficulty.
		

			The scholars also say remember that sometimes Allah subhanaw taala will test you with one problem.
And there are other people who have been tested with two or three or four or many, there's a story
they say about a king, who asked people to write their problems on a piece of paper, and then to put
them in a large container. And then he asked them to come later on everyone pick a random piece of
paper and read it. And everybody read it said give me back my own problems. And sometimes you see
the problem is other people have and yours will pale in comparison.
		

			So we've all been through past trials, we've all been through difficulties. And those past trials
and difficulties are today. The stories that you tell others, they're just history, and some of them
are stories you tell others while you are laughing, because you have gotten over it.
		

			An ibis, the uncle of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, he came to a Nabi SallAllahu Sallam he
says, quote, We are rasool Allah, our elimination, Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah to Allah. He said,
y'all Rasul Allah teach me something to ask Allah subhanaw taala So the Prophet sallallahu sallam
said settle hola hola Aafia. ask Allah for Allah Aafia, which is well being and security and safety
being free from difficulty and illness. So an ibis is I went away for a few days, and a few days
later I came back and I said, O Messenger of Allah, teach me something to ask Allah. And then the
Prophet salallahu alayhi salam tells him Carla yeah Abbas Yeah. Amma rasool Allah, O Abbas, or uncle
		

			of the Prophet of the Messenger of Allah Subhan Allah Hala Thea for dunya when a Hara ask Allah
