00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			Woman UPI, la hora Sula, who cerca de
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:13
			hobbema.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			My dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			as we witness
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			this pandemic,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			continuously ravaging the earth.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			We're even after we have found the vaccine,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			the numbers are only rising.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			And with that comes
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			many deaths.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:02
			And so each and every single one of us knows someone, whether it be a friend, whether it be a
relative,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:11
			no matter how close they are, or how far they are. We all know someone who has either been infected
or
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			has lost a life.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			And so my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			there are those who are infected with the virus.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			And they were on the verge of death.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			And everyone had told them
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			that that's it.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			You're done. It's over.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			But yet, Allah subhanahu wa tada decided other ways.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:54
			So these are the survivors who saw a death before their eye.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			And yet, Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			decided that it was not their time.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			And so this is a message to those
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:14
			who survived the pandemic, who survived. And Allah subhanahu attallah cured them.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			And so my dear brothers and sisters death
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			is an inevitable reality.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:23
			It's something
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			that we will all face.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			And so just like we have one life to live on this earth,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			we also have one death, that we will all taste
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			and yet this reality is something
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			that most of us are heedless of.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			We don't think about it, we don't ponder over it.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			When do we think about it? When do we ponder over
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			when it comes near
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:06
			when it's around the corner, when we see it before our eyes, and we're struggling to breathe,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			and we're thinking that we may read our last.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			And so
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			there are many
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:19
			who thought
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			that they would be their breed their lasts.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:30
			And they thought that it was over. Everyone had left them behind.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			They were isolated, because no one was allowed to visit them.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			And they were on the ventilators.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			And they worried
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:51
			about how they will face a loss of Hannah who were to Hannah. It was this inevitable reality that
they were witnessing before their eyes and they were worried
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			about their loved ones.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			So these people,
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			a loss of Hannah who would touch them with his mercy
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			he favored them. He had mercy upon them.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:37
			And so they survived, although many did not. And so the first thing that they should realize is the
mercy and the bounty of Allah subhanahu wa tada when they begged a loss of Hannah, who would doubt
it to cure them. And Allah Subhana who would Donna said his relief, Allah subhana wa tada at that
moment, was more merciful to them.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			Then a mother is merciful to her own child.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47
			And they should recognize that it was Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			who cured them as Ibrahim alayhis salaam said,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:54
			What either Marie
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			for who I mean.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			He said when I fall ill
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			It is He also heard of who Atlanta who cures me.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			The second reminder
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			is
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			that such people are a living example.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:24
			They are a living example of how everything is in the hands of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:34
			Every single thing is in the hands of Allah subhanahu wa Tada. And so no matter how advanced we may
become,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:41
			in our scientific discoveries, in medical advancement,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:47
			no matter how far we may reach as a human race,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			there is one thing
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			that will always be out of our hands.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			And that is life and death.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			And so no matter what they tell you
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:09
			that we know the causes of life, and we know the causes of death.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:16
			They can never save a life if Allah has determined for that life, to come to an end.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			And this reminds us of the story of Ibrahim and he said I'm
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			one when he met that tyrant,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			the mood
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			and he told him
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:47
			that my lord Ibrahim Alayhi, salaam, told this tyrant who was arrogant, who thought that he was
powerful. He denied the existence of a foster parent.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:08:02
			And so, Ibrahim alayhis salam tried to teach him a lesson. And so he said, that my lord Allah
subhana wa tada is the one who gives life and the one who causes death
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			is part Ebrahim, be led up when you meet?
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			What did he say in response?
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			He said, I do the same.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:25
			He said, I can also give life and cause death. What he meant
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			was that he can bring two individuals
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			who are supposed to be given the death sentence.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:43
			And he gives one the death sentence, he kills him. And the other he tells him, you're free to go.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			Even though this is not really giving life and giving depth.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			And so what did Ibrahim alayhis salam say to him?
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			This arrogant tyrant
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:02
			who thought that everything was in his hands and not in the hands of Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			Ibrahim Alayhi Salam told him
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			that my Lord
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:20
			he causes the sun to rise from the east. So you now bring it and cause it to rise from the west for
a buoy tender the cover.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			And so this cafe
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			he was all really defeated.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			And so what this teaches us
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:38
			is just like that tyrant denied the existence of Allah subhana wa tada
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:54
			through his arrogance and his pride, thinking that these things are in his hands. Today we have
arrogant people who also deny Allah subhanahu wa tada and claim
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			that through science, we know everything through our
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Human advancement, we are in control. No.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			And these people
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:18
			who are surviving this pandemic today are living examples of that. When the doctors and the medical
experts told them
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			that you have no chance to live
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:24
			these people
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			we see them today living
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			among the reminders for such people
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:40
			is to tell them that you have been chosen by Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:52
			You have been chosen by Allah subhanahu wa taala to be given a second chance, not many people get
that chance. Most people
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			death comes to them suddenly.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			Without them expecting it to come.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:07
			They don't they don't get that chance to see death before their eyes and survive it.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			Allah subhanahu wa tada has favored you,
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			over many others have also had who
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:22
			has given you a second chance. So don't mess it up. This time around.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:27
			Turn back to Allah subhanho wa Taala change your ways.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:37
			Don't go back to your old life of sin. Because such a chance may never come again.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:54
			And without a doubt, there will come a day when we wish for that second chance. But Allah subhanahu
wa taala will tell us that it's too late. And that will be on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			And so the kuffar
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			when they will be standing in front of the Hellfire
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			ready to be thrown into it.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:12
			They will wish that they had that second chance. What are we looking for either nury
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			for call ooyala Tana neurod
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			when I look at the baby it rabina when
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			they will say when they are standing before the Hellfire
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			that we wish.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			We wish that we can go back
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:38
			and not disbelieve in that is to have our Lord and be believers.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44
			And then what does Allah subhanahu wa taala say? Bella Bella hoonah? Can you who
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:54
			this is only their claim that they are making because now they see the reality? Of what before the
tried to hide?
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:57
			Well,
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			what I would do
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:15
			and if they were given given that second chance, if they were returned back to the earth, what would
they do?
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:40
			These are people who are standing before the hellfire. They have seen everything of the world of the
unseen that they were told to believe in, but they disbelieved in now they see it before their eyes.
What does Allah tell us about them? After the promise that they if they are to return back to the
earth, they will change their ways? What does the law tell us about them?
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:49
			A law tells us that if they were given that second chance, if these people were to be returned,
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			they would go back to what they used to do.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			They would return to doing the same thing.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			And they are only liars. And so this is our human nature.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			This is our human nature, to forget
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:14
			to become heedless after we were touched with trial and calamity,
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			with the illness,
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:24
			with poverty, whatever kind of calamity and misfortune it was,
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			after we thought
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			that we've had it the worst.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			We think that if
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:41
			we're given a second chance, we will change our ways. We go back to our old way.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:49
			And we forget and we become heedless. Finally my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:58
			My message to such people who have survived is that you should devote the rest of your life
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:17
			devote to Allah subhanahu wa tada devoted to the service of Allah subhana wa tada in whatever way
that Allah subhana wa tada has made available to you. And so this is the true meaning of gratitude
to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:25
			This is the true meaning of being grateful to Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:32
			for his blessings that he has blessed us with is it hypocritical?
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			To remember Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			when we're struggling
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			to breathe
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:44
			and then
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:54
			when we go back to breathing fine and living a healthy life that we forget about Allah subhana wa
Tada.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:05
			reminding us human beings and the jinn
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:09
			for the IE Allah Europe be Kumar to get the van.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:14
			Which of the blessings of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.

			what Taka, la la la casa de Lima,
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			As for the rest of us,
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			then we are also survivors.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:00
			We are survivors of this pandemic so far.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:09
			And so, if we are reminding those who are survived those who survived death,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:18
			then we need to remind ourselves those who have had it easy so far.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			And so, the first reminder that we can give ourselves
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			first and foremost is
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			that if
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:36
			you have survived the second wave of the pandemic
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			and you have not become infected with the virus,
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			then it is not because
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			of certain precautionary measures that you were taking.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			It was not because
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			of your strong immune system.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			It was not because of any any of that but rather
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			it was because of one and only one reason
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:14
			and that is the fever and the bounty of a loss of Hannah who went to Hana upon you.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:22
			This is the only reason for why you are blessed. And others.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:30
			They weren't, will never be coming near matin fermina wa
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			wherever whatever blessing that you have.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:40
			It is because of Allah. It is from Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:46
			here Allah makes it general. For now become me near met him.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:58
			He did not specify any number, any blessing, no matter how great it is, no matter how small it is.
It is from a lot
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			And so if you survived it was because of that.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			As the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us in a hurry
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			that if
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:32
			the entire world, the humans and the jinn were to come together to touch with the harm, they
wouldn't be able to do it. As long as Allah subhana wa tada has decided to save you from that harm.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			Secondly,
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			do not underestimate
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			the blessing.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			Do not under Do not underestimate
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			the blessings of Allah subhanahu wa taala.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			No matter how small they may be,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:01
			because you will not truly value that blessing
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			until it is taken away from you.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			And so ask those
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:14
			who had those blessings and then it was taken away from them. They will tell you,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:22
			those who fell ill because of the virus or any other illness, they will tell you the blessing
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			of good health.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:35
			And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says near mahtani mo boon fujimaki roominess
of
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			Australia.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:49
			He said there are two blessings that most people they waste. They don't give it its true value. And
these two blessings are good health
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			and free time.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			Thirdly,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			he expects us to turn to him.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			He expects us to turn to him.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			to devote ourselves to Him, to remember him
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:18
			to worship him at all times.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			Not only when we're in trouble,
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:42
			not only when life takes a tough turn, but at all times, in times of prosperity, as well as in times
of adversity. But unfortunately most of us we only remember Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			when the world comes crashing down on us,
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:55
			we only remember Allah subhanahu wa Tada. We only turned to him, begging him
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:01
			making dua to him giving in South Africa worshiping him
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			when we're in a calamity
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			when we are touched with some kind of harm
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:21
			and the loss of Hannah who Atlanta he tells us about this reality of man. So awesome head on with
data says what either MSL insane or
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:30
			the horrible who were either MSL internal door. The Hana Legion v.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:40
			The Anna Legion v Gaiden, aka Mr. Donnelly Giambi, Arden Oh Karima. The
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:47
			US human beings, when we are touched with some kind of harm,
		
00:23:49 --> 00:24:06
			we turn to Allah subhanahu wa tada we make dua to Allah subhanahu attallah calling upon him whether
we be lying on our sides or whether we be sitting or whether we be standing. And then what does
Allah subhana wa tada say, for them, Krishna?
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:12
			Krishna who do Rahu murrah.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:15
			You do
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:28
			that when we relieve him, of what he called upon us, to relieve him of
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:41
			and we relieve him of that distress, he is now fine. What does he do? He goes on in life, forgetting
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			forgetting completely that anything ever happened to him?
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			And that's why mama Sadie Rahim Allah. He says in his commentary on this ayah
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			in profound terms in beautiful words, he says
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:05
			This is our subhanho wa Taala telling us about
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:16
			when a man is touched with hardship, whether a sickness, or any kind of calamity, he strives in
making.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:41
			day in day out, he is making drama. Even if he can't sit up, when he's lying down, he is calling
upon the loss of Hannah who went to Hana. And he asks a lot in every state, standing, sitting and
lying down, and he persists in his drama, so that Allah can relieve him of his hardship, then when
or relieves him,
		
00:25:43 --> 00:26:02
			he goes on to continue in his previous state, which was a state of heedlessness turning away from
his Lord, as if no hardship had ever come his way from Allah subhanahu wa ala for Allah subhanho wa
Taala, to relieve him of it. And then he says,
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:11
			so what? injustice is greater than this injustice.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:13
			And it's true.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:15
			What?
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:27
			What injustice can possibly be greater than this injustice. And that's why in the Quran, Allah
subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:33
			Wherever calamities he mentioned, he attributes them to us.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			Because it's not a loss of Hannah who attalla who is cruel.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:54
			It's not a loss of Hannah who attalla who is unjust and unfair, but rather it is we human beings,
who are unjust to ourselves. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us in the
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:00
			Oklahoma indie version to nipsey, Woodman Kathy raw,
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			the Ola
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:17
			I have done much injustice to myself, and it is only you who forgive sins, so forgive me. And so our
sins
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:27
			are a form of injustice that we do to our own selves. And so when we see suffering in this world,
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			we should not blame Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:37
			When we see the suffering, the cruelty,
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:48
			we don't put it on the loss of Hannah who were data, but rather, It is we who did it to our own
selves. Finally,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			if you want any
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:01
			blessing that Allah has blessed you with, if you want it to remain with you forever,
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			then the only way to do that
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			is not
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			by striving
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:18
			in the material means that will help me to keep that blessing.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			Unfortunately, this is what many of us think
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:28
			that as long as I have a good job, the only way for me to keep it
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:38
			is by continuously performing well. And pleasing my boss and my employer.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:45
			If I have good health, the only way for me to preserve it
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			is by eating healthy
		
00:28:49 --> 00:29:03
			by going to the gym, by exercising by staying away from harmful foods, while forgetting that these
are all blessings of Allah subhanahu attallah that he blessed us when
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:10
			And so long as the source is Allah subhanho wa Taala then likewise,
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			the only way to keep in
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:19
			is by Allah subhanho wa Taala keeping it for you.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:26
			And how do we guarantee that Allah will keep it for us?
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			By being grateful to Allah subhana wa Tada.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			We've done a
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			lot in Chicago.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:44
			Weather in California to be krisha de
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			la proclaimed
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			that as long as you are grateful.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:53
			It's a promise of a lot.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:58
			As long as you are grateful, then I will surely
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:15
			Increase you. Meaning whatever blessing Allah has given to us. As long as we are grateful for those
blessings, then not only will Allah keep them for us, but Allah will increase them for us.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			There was once
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			there was once a chef, a scholar
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:25
			who
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:33
			had reached a very old age. They say he reached 100 years
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:39
			while being in both physically and mentally fit.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:44
			He was very healthy, both physically and mentally.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			And yet, he was very old. So they asked him
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			what was the secret?
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			What is it that you did? What is it that you do?
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			And so he said in one sentence,
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:03
			had he jawara
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			half your banana, half your silver
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			for healthy Whoa, whoa, whoa, who is
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:21
			that these organs, these limbs of us, these body parts of mine.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			When I was young,
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:34
			I protected them. I preserved them, I made sure that they did not fall into her arm.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			And so as a result
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:46
			of loss of Hannah who wanted to preserve them for me, he preserved my body for me, in my old age.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:53
			And so it's as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, if we learn how to
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:06
			preserve a law, be mindful of Allah subhanahu wa tada at all times. And Allah subhanho wa Taala will
preserve you.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			We ask Allah subhana wa tada
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:18
			to make us from among those who are mindful of him, who are grateful to him who remember him at all
times.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:22
			In times of adversity as well as in times of prosperity.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:44
			We ask Allah subhanahu wa tada to protect each and every single one of us, from every evil from
every calamity, from every illness. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to bring cure and to bring his
Shiva to those who are ill no matter how ill they are. We ask Allah Subhana Houma tada
		
00:32:45 --> 00:33:10
			to have mercy upon those who have gone We ask Allah subhanahu wa tada to have mercy upon them to
forgive them their sins. has also luiselli Moreno como la Alana be eucom, ADB Abdullah Kamara,
