Sula, who forgot the Pfizer Fosun Alima a my bad for agnostic that hadith the Kitab Allah. Well as
an Al hadI had you Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was Sharon more data to have, or coulomb
data in VEDA what could not be that in Bala Wakulla in for now.
		

			Brothers and Sisters in Islam, the topic of our hotbar today is sadness. And of course, we are
linking this to what is happening in Philistine and what is happening in other parts of the world
and what has happened before and what will probably most likely be going to happen in the future.
		

			The problem is that many Muslims think that the believer is in a state of perpetual sadness, and
that Ardene is linked to sadness and the way of the believer is to be sad. And that is based in part
on some quotes and narrations that the great scholar al Hassan Al basally Rahim Allah. He said, The
believer is sad in the evening and wakes up sad, and he has no alternative to that. You're always
sad. It is narrated that Inaba said how can we be happy when death is behind us? Yeah, and it death
is chasing after us. And the grave is ahead of us. And the Kiama is awaiting us and our path is over
the hellfire and we have to stand before Allah. And it was also mentioned that Salahuddin a UB Rahim
		

			Allah He said, How can I smile while
		

			Masjid Al Aqsa is captured.
		

			The Scholars say, every one of these statements is not authentic. And even if they were the
argument, the proof the guidance would be from the Quran and the Sunnah, not from quotes. So why is
this topic important? What are the dangers of sadness? The first thing is, if we associate sadness
with being a good Muslim, or being a good believer when we associated with our religion, that
meaning the believer is sad and doesn't have fun, and is always burdened with the depths and the
trials of others. That could mean a couple of things. One of them is the result equation, the
resulting equation in our minds is that obedience and religiosity equals being sad. And then on the
		

			flip side, happiness will be linked to haram and linked to the Murase the disobedience of Allah. And
whenever I feel happy, I would tell myself, that means I don't care about what's happening in the
ummah. And the flip side of that is that now every time I'm happy, I start to feel guilty, because I
shouldn't feel that way.
		

			Beyond that, we all know that being sad, and being perpetually sad, slows you down, robs you of your
energy hope, in Allah azza wa jal optimism, even in life, and as we know, it can lead you down the
road to depression. What is interesting brothers and sister is that we don't find in the Quran or in
Islam, that sadness is ever praised. Nor is it ever required now Allah azza wa jal and his prophets
of Allah Salam never else never once told us to be sad, nor once was it praised to be sad.
Conversely, happiness is not frowned upon. Many Muslims think that to be happy is not a sign of a
good believer. And we used to even hear speakers say things like, how can a Muslim go on vacation?
		

			The Muslim is never on vacation, the Muslim never forgets the trials of others, and so on and so
forth. So happiness then would is not frowned upon in Islam? Nor is it an indication that you don't
care about the next life. Nor is it an indication that you don't care about the state of the
Muslims. So someone might ask, How can you not be sad? Don't you see the situations of Muslims
around the world? Don't you see what's happening in Philistine and the poverty and the oppression?
The scholars said, the poor and the oppressed, they're not in need of your sadness, and your
negativity, nor does it benefit them in the least. So all it does being sad, all it does is that it
		

			replaces action. And this is in psychology. You know, as human beings, we always try to make
ourselves feel good. And we justify things in our brains, even in ways that are not rational. So you
will say to yourself, because I am sad, I care and I've done my part. So therefore, I'm exempt from
having to do anything, whereas your sadness has not benefited anybody. That's what the scholars
said. The other thing is that
		

			it is just a temporary feeling. It's not obedience to Allah azza wa jal, it doesn't benefit the
Ummah, as we've said. And the scholars said, it's only acceptable in some cases, if you use being
sad about your situation, let's say your religious situation, as an anchor to get yourself when
you're lost in materialism or love of this or desires. So feeling sad because of that state, you use
it then as a motivator as an anchor to get you out of that situation. The scholars also said, the
pain and sadness when it comes to falling short in the obedience of Allah, that is also acceptable.
And then they said that any sadness that ruins the pleasure of disobedience of Allah azza wa jal is
		

			also acceptable. So what about the narration where they said that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
was Muhtar, Walsall, Al Hassan, that he was in a state of continuous sadness, he will come out of
being sad over this situation and then go into sadness for the next situation and he was always in
this state. It will claim, Rahim Allah and Medina just Salkin. He mentions that all these this
narration has no has no basis. He's saying that there is an unknown narrative and that is not and
therefore this is not a reliable narration. And then he argues why would the process Lamb be in
perpetual sadness? And he is the one who was protected from sadness over issues of this dunya and he
		

			is the one that Allah subhanaw taala forbade him from his sadness over the Quran.
		

			are not accepting Islam, and he's the one whom Allah subhanaw taala forgave all his sins. So where
would the sadness and where would perpetual sadness come from? Rather, the authentic description is
that whenever you saw the prophets Allah Salam were Cana hash and Bastion Lautoka who Allah
Moctezuma always in a good mood, always smiling. This was the state that this was the authentic
description of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam sure Hello Islam even Tamia Rahim Allah.
		

			He said as for sadness, Allah subhanaw taala did not commanded, nor did His prophets on Hola Hola,
salam, rather Allah subhanaw taala forbade it in some situations, even though they were related to
affairs of the religion, meaning someone might justify and say I'm not sad for myself, I am sad for
the Ummah okay, but even in this case,
		

			and Allah subhanaw taala says no Quran when he No Wallah doesn't know. Were untouchable alone in
country meaning this is this verse was revealed after the Battle of God and Allah subhanaw taala
saying, wait a minute, do not lose heart and do not be saddened. What are the huzzah No, do not be
grieved in sort of the non Allah Subhana Allah tells the prophets of Allah so Allah wala has an ID
him What are Taku for you, though you can me my am Quran, do not be saddened to over them. And it's
interesting. The verse didn't say, Min home don't be saddened from them. So the problem wasn't even
sad because of their mistreatment and their bad behavior towards him. He wasn't sad because of them
		

			for Allah azza wa jal told him, don't be sad for them.
		

			And when I took over the team, in my own current, don't be distressed over the evil that they plan.
And not only that, we'll see it in other places. We'll see it and sort of guff and we'll see it in
other places in the Quran for Allah Allah kabocha on Neff. Sokka Allah, Rahim, Islam, you know be
higher than Hadith SFR. Here Allah subhanaw taala is telling the Prophet Allah Don't be so sad.
Don't kill yourself with grief back on RefSeq don't kill yourself with sadness. I read him over
their footsteps meaning when they turn away from you, they walk away they reject Islam. This used to
make the personal I'm so sad that it's almost like Allah Subhana Allah is telling him Take it easy.
		

			Don't be that sad don't kill yourself in grief, because they turned away from you. For Allah to have
enough suka Ali him has Allah Allah azza wa jal says, Do not let don't lose, don't die and don't
lose your soul over them in sorrow.
		

			And the prophets Allah Salam himself in the cave, what did he advised his companion what he said to
him our book road alone he said to him, let in Allah hermana Do not be saddened indeed Allah is with
us. So we never see sadness in the Quran except that it is mentioned negatively or Allah Allah Allah
is telling you to not feel that way. Even Tamia Rahim Allah says whether he can lay under who lie
Yanni the husband, Ledge liberal Mensa that is due to the fact that sadness does not bring forth any
benefit. What are you waiting for? Oh Medora and it does not push away any harm. Philosopher editor
fee there is no benefit in it. And then he continues and says And whatsoever has no benefit in it.
		

			Allah subhanaw taala would not command it. So sad. This does not benefit anyone Allah azza wa jal
would not command you to feel or have something that does not benefit anyone. And then he mentioned
that limited sadness over trials of this dunya are not a problem. Limited sadness. Yeah, Annie you
can feel sad over what's happening and Philistine but you don't become a sad individual because of
what's happening and Philistine depressed and unable to operate and unable to go to work and unable
to get out of bed. So it says limited sadness over trials of this dunya will are not a problem so
long as there is no sin and no expression of displeasure accompanies it. So those who are saddened
		

			for the OMA, the scholars said they Allah Allah azza wa jal will not reward them for their sadness
itself, but they might be rewarded for the goodness of their heart, they might be rewarded for the
level of care they have for their brothers and sisters around the ummah. But they're not rewarded
for being sad itself. Because sadness itself there's no reward for it. The scholar said from the
aims of the shaytaan is to bring sadness to the believer from the aims of the Sharia is to bring
happiness to the believer.
		

			In nama Najwa Amina Shivani Leah Zona Latina Illa Allah azza wa jal says a Najwa the private
conversation is the conspiracies there.
		

			On the shape on so that they he can cause sadness for the believer. So the aim of the Shetland is to
cause sadness to the believer. What do I need to Mala? So Jan says that they would love to see you
in suffering. But the flip side of that if you look at where the Prophet sallallahu sallam was
mentioning, one of the deeds is most beloved to Allah azza wa jal, he mentioned at the top, bringing
happiness to the heart of a believer. So it can't be that Islam wants us to be sad, but one of the
greatest and most beloved deeds to Allah Allah is to enter sadness into happiness into the heart of
the believer. So with that, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make some of those who recognize the
		

			truth as clear truth of Hulu kolyada was tougher. Hola Hola. Hola. Hola, como Gmail, look for stuff
through fire hose Al Mustafa marine ask Allah subhanaw taala first forgiveness Indeed, those who ask
for his forgiveness shall prosper.
		

			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. I mean, while he was here, Jemaine
about. So the scholars mentioned some points to not be in a state of sadness. We mentioned earlier
that you can be sad over a situation but you don't become a sad person. And they mentioned reminding
yourself because we all know this, but remind yourself that everything is happening is according to
Allah subhanaw taala is decree, you remind yourself of the the knowledge and the wisdom of Allah
subhanaw taala, the things the hair that is happening behind the scenes, for lack of a better term,
that we don't see all the other things that are happening. And he that in the wisdom of Allah
		

			subhanaw taala we don't know how many Muslims started practicing better because of what's happening
in philosophy. But we've seen with our eyes, how many non Muslims came into Islam, because of what
they saw in Philistine and they went and picked up a copy of the Quran. And they actually became
Muslim, or a woman. She said, I saw a Palestinian mother, her daughter was dead in her arms, and she
was thinking Allah. So I said, How did she get to the state, and she wants to read the Quran just
for that sake. So all these kinds of things that are happening, that could be part of what will lead
to the, the freedom or the freeing Philistine in the future. The other thing is that the scholar
		

			said, that sadness doesn't do anything except increase your white hairs, and it there's no benefit
in it. And they mentioned a Salah
		

			and how you turn to Allah subhanaw taala. They have a famous statement that says, the distance
between the problem and the situation is equal to the distance between your forehead and the ground.
And this was the way of our Prophet sallallahu Sallam whenever something distressed him he
immediately turned to Salah in nama school bethey were Husni it Allah that I complain, my problems
and my sadness to Allah subhanaw taala so you turn to Salah immediately, the scholar has mentioned
dhikr of Allah azza wa jal and because we know the verse, Allah biddick Rila he booked my unknown
Kulu everybody knows this verse. So someone is saddened, he sits for like, 20 minutes 15 minutes
		

			makes a little bit of difference didn't work. It's not that's not what it means, means your heart is
filled with the core of Allah azza wa jal your day from beginning to end. You're always trying to
remember Allah subhanaw taala with your tongue. Many times people just test the thief if things work
or not. I tried Salah didn't work. I made the could it didn't work. Did you make a career out of
thicker work? Were you making vicar of Allah azza wa jal? Or are we testing if this works, there's a
difference between the two.
		

			So in conclusion, we're saying that you can be sad or Philistine but do not become a sad person. And
we have heard reports of people in the community who said they couldn't get out of bed because of
what's happening. Some study if it wasn't for going to work, I would never leave the bedroom never
never leave the house and this is not from the way of the believer. And then the final reminder
brothers and sisters, please do not every time you see someone doing something, a family going to a
restaurant or people going to an event. You bring up philosophy and sometimes there's this level and
inshallah it's nobody in this room, but there's this level of hypocrisy something is someone who's
		

			having some fun time How can you do this well Philistine in Nova zone, then he goes home and he
watches Netflix for four hours.
		

			Don't get on people's cases. Whenever they're trying to do something you remind them of
		

			A calamity that's happening somewhere. There will always be calamities happening somewhere. You do
your part, you figure out what your role is how you can help. If it's monetarily, if it's just
through your da we're not belittling that. But don't go around trying to get people to stop doing
things and we turning on each other because of what's happening in philosophy. One guy started the
big fight in the masjid, not this Masjid. He yelled at the Imam How could you not make the connote
after the Salah, so the next Salah, the Imam made the keynote he came to me he said, Why didn't you
say this in the da bibiani? Does nothing's gonna make you happy? For it, let's not turn on each
		

			other. That's also not a solution. It's also not a solution with that. We ask Allah subhanaw taala
to make us of those who recognize the truth as clear truth and follow the best of it and to make us
of those who recognize falsehood as clear falsehood and abstain from it. Alohomora and then the
