My dear brothers and sisters,
the nature of the life of this world
is that we constantly witness
painful events,
catastrophic events, disasters,
whether they be natural or as a result of us human beings.
These disasters
and catastrophic events that leave
that leave us with a loss of life
with a loss of wealth
with a loss of property with a loss of homes. This is part
of this life that Allah subhanahu wa Tana made us to live in this world
where everyone can be shaved,
mirror healthy, while jewelry, one oxy mineral am well you will unfussy what Samurai
Baba Shiraz Saberi
Allah subhanahu wa taala
says that we will surely certainly make you taste something
a fear
of hunger.
A loss of wealth
a loss of crops a loss or loss of lives. Well that's Shiraz. savarin. But give glad tidings to who?
To those who are patient. Because with such disasters comes pain and suffering.
And the only ones who are successful through such disasters are those who are patient.
And so my dear brothers and sisters a few days ago, we witnessed
those blasts
in the route that left
hundreds dead
1000s injured
10 to $15 billion of property damage
and an estimated 300,000 people
without any homes.
Allah subhanahu wa taala
shows us such things in this life
for a variety of reasons,
for a variety of wisdom.
And so there are always lessons that a believer must always derive from such events.
Because
if we witness such events, and just watch the news, and just hear what's going on, without deriving any lessons without
making a change as a result of what we witness
Then we're worse than animals.
And so among the lessons that we learned from what has taken place is first and foremost, that whatever happens in this world, whatever happiness, whether it is natural whether it is as a result of us human beings.
It only happens due to the murder of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
It only happens because Allah destined and decreed for it to happen.
Nobody on this on the face of this earth
could prevent something that Allah has decreed.
And so look at how advanced we human beings have become, have become in this day and age. And yet
these disasters continuously occur. Why? Because everything is in the hands of a loss of Hannah, who were to Hannah, whatever he wishes to happen, that is what will happen.
Whoever was destined to die.
No one could have saved them. Whoever was destined to be saved.
No one.
No one could have made them to die. Everything is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And so what we learned from this is
that the believer the woman
submits to the Kaaba and the culture of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
The believer submits
to the decree of Allah subhanho wa Taala. No matter how painful it may be, he knows that it was from Allah subhanho wa Taala.
And also what we learn is that no matter what you may try to do to flee from death.
If it was appointed by Allah, you can never fleet we saw images of people recording those blasts
from the safety of their homes,
and they felt it
and this reminds us
when Allah subhanahu wa taala tells us about the munaf akun
when they complained
about not going out for jihad. They said
if it was in our hands
we wouldn't let people go out and get killed. Allah subhanahu wa tada refutes them. Allah subhanho wa Taala says, colo kuntum fee booty comme la Rosa larina katiba la hemo katroo lm abajo.
Even if you are in your own homes, those who it was decreed for them to meet their fate.
They would have died even on their beds.
The second lesson that we learned
is that such disasters happen
as a result
of our own wrongdoing.
As a result of our own transgressions, as a result of our own sins as a result of the corruption of society.
Allah subhanahu wa tada reminds us of this throughout the Quran. When I saw the Kumasi betin febi Marchesa that ad Kumar one can see
that whatever calamity befalls you, it was because of what you yourselves had done.
And then Allah reminds us at the end of the verse way I feel empathy. And he pardons He forgives over a lot, meaning that whatever has been falling you was because of your sins. So turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala and seek His forgiveness.
And it's no secret.
It's no secret
that a place like Lebanon is a place that has spread a lot
of vices and evil to the Arab world.
From movies and films,
and all kinds of other evils.
Much of it that exists in the Arab world, its source is this country.
The third lesson that we learn is
the third
lesson that we learn
is that such an event is a wake up call
for those
who have been affected by it directly, as well as the owner at large
for their betrayal
of Muslims around the world.
And so across the border, only a few kilometers away
what the Syrians have been going through
and how
1000s and millions
have been left without homes, how
they have been made to cross the border.
This is all a wake up call. And that is why it was from Hannah who punishes those
who are near before those who are far away.
And so what they tasted today in Lebanon is something that their brothers and sisters across the border have been tasting for years on end.
And Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
He makes us to taste that to wake us up.
The fourth lesson that we learn
is the Nirvana, the blessing of safety and security.
The all of us today
are living safe and sound.
Not having to go through what many are having to go through in other parts of the world.
This is a blessing.
That if we are not thankful to Allah subhanho wa Taala for
then what has happened to others will also happen to us.
If we're not thankful for are grateful to the blessings of Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala will strip them away from us.
The blessing of safety and security
and stability. It is a blessing from Allah subhanho wa Taala.
Allah subhanho wa Taala took it away
from
one of the best places on the face of this earth 1400 years ago
when they were ungrateful to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
And so the people of Mecca
were living in safety and security.
Mecca was a sanctuary, a place where people went to find safety. And Allah subhanahu wa taala stripped it away from them for a number of years. Why? Because they were ungrateful to Allah Subhana who were to Allah for his blessings upon them, the greatest of blessings of which was the sending of the greatest human being Mohammed Sal, Allahu Allah, you will send them to them. And so when they were ungrateful, Allah stripped them of that blessing and took Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam away from them and gifted him to a people who would be grateful and they were the unsought of Medina.
Weather in Chicago tune, let us see the
weather in California tune in other hubiera chedid if you are grateful, then I will increase you. This is the promise of Allah subhanho wa Taala be grateful to me, and I will increase you in my blessing. But turn away. be ungrateful disbelieve.
Then Allah warns us in either be Russia deed, that my punishment is surely painful. Finally, among the lessons that we learn is
that these explosions and these blasts
were nothing
compared
to the shaking of the earth, when it will happen on the Day of Judgment.
And so it is recorded that these blasts caused
they caused a seismic event of 3.3
on the Richter scale
of loss of Hannah who were 200 tells us yeah, are you Hannah's in Zilla? Does it show you
that the quake
When the earth it shakes on the Day of Judgment indeed that is something great
either 00 till 200 either jetty or Raja.
Throughout the Quran Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks
of the shaking of the earth on that day, that my dear brothers and sisters is something to fear for if the earth shakes in this world.
It's something temporary.
It's something that comes and it goes. It's something that leaves a lot of damage. Yes.
But soon after that we rebuild.
But the quake of the final hour after that there will be no rebuilding. And so a loss of Hannah who etana causes such disasters to occur to remind us to wake us up to make us to turn back to him so

Lune. My dear brothers and sisters among the most important rights
that we Muslims share
among one another
is
that the Muslim
being the brother
of the Muslim,
he feels his pain he feels his suffering.
And this causes him
to help him in times of need in times of difficulty.
And so when Allah subhanho wa Taala made the believers brothers.
And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reminded us of this brotherhood.
It was not
merely
a name tag. It was not merely
a badge,
a slogan,
but rather, this brotherhood meant action.
And so when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, I'll Muslim, a whole Muslim
that a believer is the brother, the Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim.
He didn't say that and just stop there.
But rather, he reminded us of the duty that
these brothers share with one another. And so he went on to say, a Muslim, Muslim lie of Lima, who, while I use lemo, that he doesn't oppress his Muslim brother, nor does he surrender his Muslim brother to his enemy. And then he went on to say, women can Effie Hagerty or he can Allahu fi Hagerty that whenever
a Muslim
comes to help his Muslim brother in a time of need, then Allah subhanho wa Taala will be there for him.
In his time of need, woman for Raja and muslimin corba 10 min corabi dounia. For Raja la who be Han who Kuru BAM in karate yo mill Tiana. And whenever,
whenever a Muslim
relieves the difficulty of another Muslim, the distress of another Muslim of the difficulties of this dunya, than it is a promise of Allah.
And it is a promise of His Messenger,
that Allah subhanho wa Taala will relieve him
of a distress, a difficulty that he will face on the Day of Judgment.
And so we all go through difficulties in this life.
And we will all go through a distress and a difficulty on the Day of Judgment. If we want to lighten that burden, if we want to lessen those difficulties in this dunya and in the era,
then fulfill the needs of your brothers who are facing difficulty today. In the dunya.
My dear brothers and sisters, we need to put ourselves in the feet
of our brothers and sisters who are suffering around the world.
If we don't feel their pain, if we don't feel their suffering,
then it means one of two things, either we are not their brothers and sisters in faith.
Or we are blinded by the dunya. And we are drugged.
Like a person who has to go through surgery, they drug him
why, so that he doesn't feel the pain. Likewise, if we don't feel the pain today, then it means perhaps it means that we are drugged. And that's why we don't feel the pain for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
that this owner of ours is like one body. Whenever one part of it feels pain and suffering
and fever, the rest of the body feels it. And so if we don't feel it, then it means either one of two things. Either we are not a part of that body. We are not a part of the oma or we are drugged.
And so today is an opportunity to give
and to lighten the burden. And to remove and relieve the difficulty.
Of those who have been left homeless, as we mentioned, 300,000, estimated 300,000 it could be much more than that.
who have been left without a home without a shelter, without food without money.
And so do your duty as a believer and as a member of this
and give
and don't be stingy with your wealth. Be generous. We ask Allah subhana wa tada to relieve the difficulty of those
who have been left in distress. From these events, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to accept from among the Muslims who have passed away to accept them as Shahada and we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to bring relief and cure to those who have been injured
