Yeah, you heard Latina Taku Lucha Kulu Colin said EDA.

while you're doing back home,
well then you will pay a la hora Sula, who forgot who was in Hawaii. I'm no Baron.
My dear brothers and sisters.
As we witness
this pandemic,
continuously ravaging the Earth.
We're even after we have found the vaccine,
the numbers are only rising.
And with that comes
many deaths.
And so each and every single one of us knows someone, whether it be a friend, whether it be a relative,
no matter how close they are, or how far they are. We all know someone who has either been infected or
has lost a life.
And so my dear brothers and sisters
there are those who are infected with the virus.
And they were on the verge of death.
And everyone had told them
that that's it.
You're done. It's over.
But yet Allah subhanahu wa Tada decided other ways.
So these are the survivors who saw death before their eyes.
And yet, Allah subhanahu wa Tada
decided that it was not their time.
And so this is a message to those
who survived the pandemic, who survived. And Allah subhanahu Attallah cured them.
And so my dear brothers and sisters death
is an inevitable reality.
It's something
that we will all face.
So just like we have one life to live on this earth.
We also have one death, that we will all taste
and yet this reality is something
that most of us are heedless of.
We don't think about it, we don't ponder over it.
When do we think about it? When do we ponder over
when it comes near
when it's around the corner, when we see it before our eyes, and we're struggling to breathe,
and we're thinking that we may breathe our last.
And so
there are many
who thought
that they would breather breather last.
And they thought that it was over. Everyone had left them behind.
They were isolated because no one was allowed to visit them.
And they were on the ventilators
and they worried
about how they will face ALLAH SubhanA who were to Hannah. It was this inevitable reality that they were witnessing before their eyes and they were worried
about their loved ones.
And so these people
Allah subhanho wa Taala touched them with his mercy.
He favored them, he had mercy upon them.
And so they survived,
although many did not. So the first thing that they should realize is the mercy and the bounty of Allah subhanahu wa Tada when they begged Allah subhanahu wa taala, to cure them. And Allah subhanahu wa taala set his relief. Allah subhana wa Taala at that woman was more merciful to them
than a mother is merciful to her own child.
And they should recognize that it was Allah subhanahu wa taharah.
who cured them as he brought him and he has Salam Said
we're either married to
for who is Finn.
He said when I fall ill It is He Allah subhanahu wa italiana. Who cures me.
The second reminder
is
that such people are a living example.
They are a living example of how everything is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa taala.
Every single thing is in the hands of Allah subhanahu wa taala. And so no matter how advanced we may become,
in our scientific discoveries in medical advancement,
no matter how far we may reach, as a human race,
there is one thing
that will always be out of our hands.
And that is life and death.
And so no matter what they tell you
that we know the causes of life, and we know the causes of death.
They can never receive a life if Allah has determined for that life, to come to an end.
And this reminds us of the story of Ibrahim Ali, he said
when he met that tyrant,
the mood
and he told him
that my Lord Ibrahim hadn't said I'm told this tyrant who was arrogant,
who thought that he was powerful. He deny the existence of Allah subhanahu wa taala.
And so, Ibrahim alayhis salam tried to teach him a lesson. And so he said that my Lord Allah subhanahu wa Hanna is the one who gives life and the one who causes death
is our Ebrahimi Rob blnd, up what you meet,
what did he say in response, Allah and He will meet. He said I do the same.
He said that I can also give life and cause death. What he meant
was that he can bring two individuals
who are supposed to be given the death sentence.
And he gives one the death sentence, he kills him. And the other he tells him, you're free to go.
Even though this is not really giving life and giving depth.
And so what did Ibrahim alayhis salam say to him?
This arrogant tyrant
who thought that everything was in his hands and not in the hands of Allah subhana who were Tahara
Ibrahim alayhis salam told him
that my Lord
He causes the sun to rise from the east. So you now bring it and cause it to rise from the west for boo he tender the cover.
And so this calf here
he was utterly defeated.
And so what this teaches us
is that just like that tyrant deny the existence of Allah subhanahu wa taala
through his arrogance and his pride, thinking that these things are in his hands. Today we have arrogant people who also deny Allah subhanho wa Taala and claim
that through science, we know everything through our human advancement
We are in control. No.
And these people
who are surviving this pandemic today are living examples of that. When the doctors and the medical experts told them
that you have no chance to live
these people
we see them today living
among the reminders for such people
is to is to tell them that you have been chosen by Allah subhanahu wa taala.
You have been chosen by Allah subhanahu wa taala to be given a second chance, not many people get that chance. Most people
death comes to them suddenly.
Without them expecting it to come.
They don't they don't get that chance to see death before their eyes and survive it.
Allah subhanho wa Taala has favored you
over many others. Allah subhanahu wa taharah has given you a second chance, so don't mess it up. This time around.
Turn back to Allah subhanahu wa Tada. Je je ways. Don't go back to your old life of sin, because such a chance may never come again.
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 is too late. And that will be on the day of judgment.
And so the kuffar
when they will be standing in front of the Hellfire
ready to be thrown into it.
They will wish that they had that second chance. What I will total it Wookiee for
for call.
No Rob do when I look at the baby it Rabina when
they will say when they are standing before the Hellfire
that we wish.
We wish that we can go back
and not disbelieve in the iota of our Lord and be believers.
And then what does Allah subhana who were to highlight say berbeda Allah who now can who your phone I'm in Kabul. This is only their claim that they are making because now they see the reality of what before the tried to hide.
Bell by the Allahu Mecca and
what I would do,
the man who and what you know.
And if they were given given that second chance, if they were returned back to the earth, what would they do?
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 they promise that they if they are to return back to the earth, they will change their ways? What does Allah tell us about them?
Allah tells us that if they were given that second chance, if these people were to be returned,
they would go back to what they used to do.
They would return to do the same thing.
And they are only liars. And so this is our human nature.
This is our human nature, to forget
to become heedless, after we were touched with trial and calamity.
We with illness,
with poverty, whatever kind of calamity, and misfortune it was,
after we thought
that we'd had it the worst.
And we think that if
we're given a second chance, we will change our ways. We go back to our old ways.
And we forget and we become heedless. Finally my dear brothers and sisters.
My message to such people who have survived is that you should devote the rest of your life devoted to Allah subhanahu wa
To devote it to the service of Allah subhanho wa Taala in whatever way that Allah subhanahu wa Sahana has made available to you. And so this is the true meaning of gratitude to Allah subhanahu wa to Hana.
This is a true meaning of being grateful to Allah subhanahu wa Tana
for his blessings that He has blessed us with, isn't it hypocritical?
To remember Allah subhanahu wa taala
when we're struggling
to breed
and then
when we go back to breathing fine and living a healthy life that we forget about Allah subhana wa Tada.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us
reminding us human beings and the jinn
for the AEA, Allah Europe B Kumar to get the ban.
which of the Blessings of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
Will you deny

matter what tequila in the lower half of the room really matter.
My dear brothers and sisters,
as for the rest of us,
then we are also survivors.
We are survivors of this pandemic so far.
And so, if we are reminding those who are survived those who survived death,
then we need to remind ourselves those who have had it easy so far.
And so, the first reminder that we can give ourselves
first and foremost is
that if
you have survived the second wave of the pandemic
and you have not become infected with the virus,
then it is not because
of certain precautionary measures that you were taking.
It was not because
of your strong immune system.
It was not because of any any of that but rather
it was because of one and only one reason
and that is the fever and the bounty of Allah subhana who want to hand it upon you.
This is the only reason for why you are blessed. And others
they weren't wanna be coming near matin, for me, Allah,
whatever blessing that you have.
It is because of Allah. It is from Allah subhanahu wa Tada
he or Allah makes it general. For now become me near met him.
He did not specify any nema. Any blessing, no matter how great it is, no matter how small it is. It is from Allah
So if you survived it was because of that.
As a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us in a hadith
that if
the entire world, the humans and the jinn were to come together, to touch you with a heart, they wouldn't be able to do it. As long as Allah subhanahu wa Donna has decided to save you from the harm.
Secondly,
do not underestimate
the blessing.
Do not undersell, do not underestimate
the blessings of Allah subhanahu wa taala.
No matter how small they may be,
because you will not truly value that blessing
until it is taken away from you.
And so ask those
who had those blessings and then it was taken away from them. They will tell you
those who fell ill because of the virus or any other illness, they will tell you the blessing
of good health.
And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says Mitanni Mark Boone, female cathedral Mina nurse asked how we'll have
to work for all
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
and free time.
Thirdly,
Allah subhanho wa Taala
He expects us to turn to him.
He expects us to turn to Him.
To devote ourselves to Him, to remember him
to worship him at all times.
Not only when we're in trouble,
now 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
when the world comes crashing down on us,
we only remember Allah subhanahu wa Tada. We only turned to him, begging him,
making dua to him, giving in South Africa worshiping Him
when we're in a calamity,
when we are touched with some kind of harm.
And Allah subhanho wa Taala he tells us about this reality of man. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, what you domicile in cernak Dora
the robber who were either muscle internal door, the HANA Legion V,
the iron Allegiant V Gaiden O Ka ima Donnelly, Giambi, O Ka, and O Ka ima. That
as human beings, when we are touched with some kind of harm,
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 subhanaw taala say? File America Schaffner
for alumna Kashif na and who do Rahu Mira
you
you remember
that when we relieve him, of what he called upon us, to relieve him of
and we relieve him of that distress. He is now fine. What does he do? He goes on in life forgetting
forgetting completely that anything ever happened to him?
And that's why Imam Abdul Rahim Allah. He says in his commentary on this idea
in profound terms in beautiful words he says
this
Is Allah subhanahu wa taala telling us about,
when a man is touched with hardship, whether a sickness or any kind of calamity, he strives in making dua. Day in day out he is making dua, even if he can't sit up when he's lying down, he is calling upon the loss of Hannah who were to Hannah. And he asks Allah in every state, standing, sitting and lying down, and he persists in his dryer, so that Allah can relieve him of his hardship, then when or relieves him,
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 taala for Allah subhanho wa Taala to relieve him of it. And then he says,
So what? Injustice is greater than this injustice?
And it's true.
What volume?
What injustice can possibly be greater than this injustice? And that's why in the Quran, Allah subhanho wa taala.
Whatever calamities he mentions, he attributes them to us.
Because it's not Allah subhanahu Attallah who is cruel?
It's not Allah subhanho wa Taala 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 DUA.
Allahumma inni Welcome to Neff, see Waldman, Kathy Ra, what do you know about
the Oh Allah,
I have done much injustice to myself. And it is only you who forgive sins, so forgive me. And so our sins
are a form of injustice that we do to our own selves. And so when we see suffering in this world,
we should not blame Allah subhanho wa taala.
When we see the suffering, the cruelty,
we don't put it on Allah subhanho wa taala. But rather, it is we who did it to our own selves. Finally,
if you want any
blessing that Allah has blessed you with, if you want it, to remain with you forever.
The only way to do that
is not
by striving
in the material means that will help me to keep that blessing.
Unfortunately, this is what many of us think
that as long as I have a good job, the only way for me to keep it
is by continuously performing well. And pleasing my boss and my employer.
If I have good health, the only way for me to preserve it
is by eating healthy
by going to the gym, by exercising, by staying away from harmful foods, while forgetting that these are all blessings of Allah subhana who were to Allah that He blessed us with.
And so long as the source is ALLAH SubhanA who were to Allah, then likewise,
the only way to keep it
is by Allah subhanahu wa taharah keeping it for you.
And how do we guarantee that Allah will keep it for us?
By being grateful to Allah subhanahu
wa ease, done a lot of buku law in Chicago to let us see the
weather in California to Inada be pleasure deed.
Allah proclaimed.
That as long as you are grateful
it's a promise of Allah.
As long as you are grateful, then I will surely
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.
There was once
there was once a chef, a scholar
who
had reached a very old age. They say he reached 100 years
while being both physically and mentally fit.
He was very healthy both physically and mentally.
And yet, he was very old. So they asked him
what was the secret?
What is it that you did? What is it that you do?
And so he said in one sentence,
had he Jawara
Hatfield Vanessa Hatfield silver
for healthy Valhalla who Eileen field keeper
that these organs, these limbs of us, these body parts of of mine
when I was young,
I protected them, I preserved them, I made sure that they did not fall into haram.
And so as a result,
Allah subhanho wa Taala preserved them for me. He preserved my body for me, in my old age,
until it's as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, so far we love how you felt.
Preserve Allah, be mindful of Allah subhanahu wa Tada at all times. And Allah subhanho wa Taala will preserve you.
We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
to make us from among those who are mindful of him, who are grateful to him, who remember him at all times.
In times of adversity as well as in times of prosperity.
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 subhana wa Tada to bring cure and to bring history fat, to those who are ill, no matter how ill they are. We ask Allah subhanahu wa Tada
to have mercy upon those who have gone we ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to have mercy upon them to forgive them their sins.
