As we go through these very, very difficult times
where
this crisis and this pandemic is coming closer to home,
where some of us are hearing of friends or relatives
who are becoming infected by the virus,
or if we are not infected by it,
then it is affecting us
in one way or the other.
And so the economy is going down.
And 1000s hundreds of 1000s of people are losing their jobs.
And so, all of this is a catastrophe. It is a calamity. It is a trial.
And so what we need in times like this
is to be reminded
by what Allah Subhana who what Allah tells us
on how to deal with calamities
when they descend.
And so Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
in these iottie Surah Al Baqarah.
Allah mentions three calamities that he will make us to face in this dunya
and he gave us three ways of dealing with them.
And he promised three rewards for those who are successful
in dealing with these calamities.
And so Allah subhanho wa Taala says, addressing the believers Yeah, are you Hello lady in a monastery Louie sodbury wasana
Oh, you who believe.
Oh, you who believe.
Seek help.
Seek help through to thinking
through patience
and through assala
through prayer
in Nola hammer savarin Indeed Allah is with those who are patient.
While ah Taku Lima, Yokota, Luisa de la

and don't say about
those who are killed as martyrs. In the cause of Allah. Don't say that they are dead.
Indeed they are alive
but you don't feel it.
Well, Annabella Juana can be shy in meaner Javi. Well, jewelry, one oxy mineral unfussy. What's the Mirage?
Well the Shira saw the rain
and surely,
certainly, definitely, we will try you, we will test you with something
of
hunger
and fear
and a decrease
in wealth
and lives
and crops
bashira savarin once again
bringing our attention to the concept of patients whether she has to have been and give glad tidings to who to those who remain patient.
Who are they
and Latina either or sorbet who masiva

Who are they? They are those
who when they are faced with a calamity
when a catastrophe strikes them
what do they do?
They say

And to him, we are returning.

and they are those who are truly guided.
And so my dear brothers and sisters,
what we find here in these
are three calamities that a lot tests as human beings with in this dunya
hunger
which comes in the form of feminine
when there is no food
and people they die of hunger.
This is a calamity.
It is a catastrophe.
The second
fear
fear of many things.
Fear of our enemies.
Fear and frenzy and panic
over a small, tiny virus that we can't even see with our eyes.
Why? Why the fear why the panic
because it's deadly.
Because it can transfer without us even knowing.
And so we're afraid.
Fear
and the third Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us
taking away certain essential things.
A decrease.
a decrease in wealth.
Property
losing your job.
The economy going down
and a decrease in line.
people dying every day.
your loved one. Those you know and those you don't know. Every single day we are hearing of this many people dying
hundreds of 1000s of people in one day from this virus
and a decrease in crops.
Disaster yesterday
That hit the agricultural industry.
So these are three things that Allah subhanahu wa tada tells us
that he will make us human beings to face in this dunya it's inevitable, it will happen one way or the other.
And then Allah Subhana Allah tells us what to do, tells us how to deal in such times. And so in the very first
Allah subhanho wa Taala commands us to seek help
through the first
is patient.
Is there even the surgery
patient in these difficult times?
And then our tells us that he is with those who are patient, and then Oh Allah subhanahu attallah commands is profit. Well, this sheet is savarin give glad tidings to those who patiently endure such tough times.
Patience
is an act of the heart.
It is
a worship of the heart.
How about our tongue
callooh in alila, he were in Elijah Raji rune, those who say this Vicar
when a calamity befalls them.
And so right away,
their tongues are remembering Allah subhanho wa Taala. In Allah, we're in Isla de Raja.
And the third
is the aim of this summary was
that they seek help.
Through assala
through prayer,
as a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to do
whenever something would bother him, whenever something would worry him right away, he would turn to Salah.
And so law
is an act of the body.
So here we have three things that turn to Allah Subhana, who etana at the time of distress, the heart, through patience, the tongue through liquor,
and the body, with its movements,
with the tongue and with the heart through a solid.
What is the reward, three things Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned.
They are those upon whom
Allah sends his son Allah.
Allah mentions these people, among the inhabitants of Jenna, or the inhabitants of the heavens.
The angels a lot praises these people among the angels.
And Allah sends down his mercy upon these people.
What we are eager to do, and Allah tells us that they are the rightly guided,
they receive the guidance of Allah subhanho wa Taala
through such tough times when others are lost, or in a state of confusion
in a state of panic.
And so my dear brothers and sisters, when it comes
to these great trials and tests and calamities, that are loss of Hannah, who attalla makes us to face,
such pandemics in which everyone is affected one way or the other.
But not everyone
is at the same level in terms of dealing with these calamities.
And so everyone is in a different state.
If you look at him, he mentioned
there are when it comes to the calamities that Allah makes us to face that a human being has no way to avoid.
He says
that the people in such calamities are four different levels for different states.
The first
is the state of impatient
Those who are impatient.
They can't handle the trial the test,
you find them always complaining
dissatisfied,
discontent.
The second
are those who are patients
they ride through such turbulent times, patiently
persevering, enduring with patience as a law tells us in these ions.
But then after that you have two more levels.
He says, The third level
is the level of not only being patient,
but after being patient,
to be satisfied, to be content to be happy,
over what Allah Subhana who God has decreed.
And then the fourth
the fourth level,
is the level
of those who have reached the highest level with Allah subhanho wa Taala.
Those who are not only patient
and not only satisfied at the Kaaba and decoder of Allah,
but those who after all of that
they are then grateful to Allah subhanahu wa tada
the level of gratitude
where they danke Allah subhanho wa Taala
for this calamity, that he made them go through
how can you think of Allah subhanho wa Taala over a calamity
over a disaster. This is unimaginable for most people.
But it is imaginable for those
whose hearts are connected to Allah subhana wa Tada. Those who know that Allah subhanho wa Taala does not decree for his righteous leaves and for the believers, except what is best for them, except what is in their best interests.
So the tackle off for that.
And so my dear brothers and sisters,
these
are the four levels We ask Allah Subhana who were to Allah
to make us from among those who are not only patient, but also those who are satisfied and content with the color of Allah. And then those who after that, thank Allah subhanho wa Taala and are grateful to him so Hannah who attalla aku kolyada we're still feudal law highly welcome. When he said he didn't see me them and could lead them in wasapi festival Pharaoh who in who will afford or Rahim.

Factor kuwahara de la was Alicia
la hora Sula, who in kuntum Mini
mario brothers and sisters
who are joining us,
from your home
wherever you may be
the calamities that are loss of health
What
tests us with
whether it be
illness or disease,
whether it be death,
losing
someone who is beloved to you,
whether it be a financial crisis in your life,
whether it be you being laid off, not having a job,
whatever the calamity is,
we need to help ourselves to bear and to endure patiently through such calamities.
And so, we spoke about the importance of Saba
the importance of patience.
But the question is, how
do we achieve and attain patience through such a difficult time?
Firstly,
let us
ponder over those are yachts in Surah Al Baqarah.
And that Vicar
that is said, when a calamity strikes,
what will help you to patiently endure in such difficult times,
is by pondering over those words.
Many of us have memorized it. When we hear of someone passing away, immediately we say in alila, we're in an era urology room. But how many of us have ever talked ourselves? Instead, let me think about what these words mean.
How many of us have pondered over these words?
In lilla?
When we say this, what we are basically saying is that everything
in this world,
no matter what it is, no matter how close it is to us, it doesn't belong to us.
But rather, it belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
And so, if you lose your mother, your father, your son, or your daughter,
or whoever you lose,
then remember that
remember,
that they never belonged to you to begin with, but rather, they belong to Allah Subhana who went to Hana
and then ponder over in what in LA he Raji rune, and to Him we are returning
because we all belong to Allah, therefore we are all returning back to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
So eventually, our time is coming.
All of us whether it be me or whether it be you,
your time is coming.
And we're all going back to Allah subhanho wa Taala
kulu and Holly have
everything upon the surface of this earth
is going to come and cease to exist. Why because Bekaa was robbed because it will be crumb and only Allah subhanahu wa tada is that ever living?
Secondly,
one of our pillars of belief, and he man is to believe and I'll come out with
the good and the bad of it.
And so we need to read juveniles and renew our E man. You know, cover will cover.
If you're having a difficult time dealing with this calamity.
Then renew your E man. You know cover will cover
and remember
that whatever Allah has decreed, it will happen, and you could not have done anything to avoid it.
As the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us
rather the Allahu Akbar
that if Allah has decreed any good for you
then even if the entire world
The jinn and mankind were to come together to find a way to remove that good from you, they would never be able to do. And likewise, if Allah has decreed a calamity for you,
they no matter what if the entire world its Jin and its human beings were to come together to devise a plan to find a way to remove that calamity from you, they will never, ever be able to do it. Why? Because everything is in the hands of a loss of Hannah who were to Hannah. Once a while has decreed it, it is bound to happen, and no one
can avoid it.
And so if
you could have saved a life
if Allah has decreed for that life not to be saved
then it's not in my hands. Nor is it in your hands. Nor is it in the hands
of the best doctors in this world.
For either
what until he no he didn't. rune
Sakuraba comm What are killer two three rune
fellow Hola, como como de Nene, Taraji Runa. In kuntum saw the theme when you're seeing
the person on his deathbed and you see the soul about to leave the body.
Go ahead and prevent it.
If you are truthful, then prevent it. Why don't you stop him from dying.
Because
it is in the hands of a lot.
It is not even in the hands of the best hospitals in this world.
Or the best machines or the best ventilator.
Even if they made 1000 or 100,000 or a million ventilators, if Allah has decreed
for your time to come,
no ventilator no machine, no doctor
will be able to save you from the appointed decree of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
Thirdly,
remember
that whatever Allah subhanho wa Taala takes away from you.
Whether it be the life of someone,
whether it be your job,
whether it be
wealth, property, crops,
whatever it be that a lot takes away from you.
Remember, that if you are a believer,
and you endure patiently, and you're satisfied with the culture of Allah subhanho wa Taala then remember
that Allah subhanahu, WA tada does not take anything away from us.
Except because he wants to replace it with something which is far better.
Never does a lot take away something that is beloved to his beloved slaves who he loves.
He doesn't want them to go into misery. He doesn't want evil for you, oh slave of Allah.
But rather, he wants Good for you.
And that's because we may see things a certain way. We may see things as being evil, evil,
as being 100% suffering.
But in the eyes of Allah, there is no such thing as pure evil as 100% evil from all angles from all perspectives.
And Takahashi
perhaps you may dislike something
but there is good in it for you.
And that's because Allah subhanho wa Taala is a curried
he is the most generous one.
And he doesn't take away thing, but rather he gives. And so if Allah has taken away something from you, no matter how beloved it was to you, and to your heart,
then be rest assured
Allah subhanho wa Taala is replacing it with something which is far better whether you see it right now, or you see it tomorrow, or you never see it in your life.
It is there.
And we have many, many examples of this.
We have many examples of this from the lives of the Sahaba
the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Take the example of ohm selama
she said from the Allahu Allah
I heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say
that no one is tested with a calamity.
And then beers patiently seeing in Allah he were in the room, except that Allah subhanahu wa tada replied, replaces what he lost with something better.
She says,
and then
her beloved husband
ended up passing away.
So she said,
How is it possible for me to say these words, and to believe
that Allah will replace someone better for me than Abu Salah.
But she said,
I said it anyways, because I believed in the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
And then,
soon after that,
of loss of Hannah, who wattana blessed her
with someone far better than abou cinema.
And that was the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he ended up marrying her.
Take the example of that woman
who came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
complaining
of this disease that she had epilepsy.
And so she said, O Messenger of Allah,
I have this problem. And when I go into my fix,
some of my IRA becomes exposed, my hijab comes off.
So please pray to Allah to cure me from this illness.
And so what did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam say?
He said, If you wish I could do that.
If you want me to, I could pray to Allah to cure you of this illness.
But if you want,
I could pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
That if you patiently persevere through this calamity, then for you is gender.
for you is gender, you are guaranteed gender, as long as you are patient
and socially accepted.
She accepted.
And then she said, Oh, yeah, yeah. Rasulullah at least pray to Allah, that I don't become exposed.
And so these are examples of how Allah subhanahu wa tada through calamities, through difficulty.
And by taking away things from us,
He replaces it with things which are far better, and there is no better reward than the reward of the
fourthly,
remind yourself of what the prophets and the messengers went through.
Because as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, answering the question,
or messenger of Allah, Who are those who go through the most difficulties, who are those who go through the worst trials and kilometers.
And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, the prophets and the messengers, and then those who are closest to them fell
and fell, fell and fell, those who are closest to them in their righteousness,
in their piety,
in their taqwa
and so when we read the lives of the prophets,
we learn
how to patiently persevere through difficulty, through trial through calamity
and
Finally,
remember,
and remind yourself of the reward for those who patiently persevere, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us in many different hobbies, the rewards for those who when trial and difficulty hit them, they are patient.
Firstly, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, when you read the law, ob hiren you said men,
that
if Allah ever wants Good for you,
that he makes you to go through difficulty.
Secondly, remember that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
that no fatigue
touches the surface.
No disease,
inflicts the servant.
no sorrow, no sadness, no injury.
No distress falls the believer.
None of that befalls the believer, even if it be a thorn that pricks you. And you are bothered by this small Thor.
Except that Allah subhanho wa Taala through all of these difficulties and hardships.
He expiate your seniors,
he erases your sins.
And so these difficult times are a time for us to reflect over that.
That whether it be an illness,
whether it be losing our jobs, whatever it be, if it is a calamity from Allah subhanahu wa tada and we are patient.
Then Allah subhanahu wa taala through that is cleansing us of our centers.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa tada to make us from among those who are patient through these difficult times. We ask Allah subhanahu wa tada to keep each and every single one of us protected
and healthy.
us and our loved ones, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
to remove
this pandemic and to remove from us these calamities, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to bring us together once again
in the houses of Allah subhanahu wa tada
We ask Allah subhanahu wa tada
to accept those who has passed away from this disease as shuhada as martyrs with him so Hannah who attallah and we ask Allah subhanahu wa tada to bring Shiva to bring a cure to those who are ill
