My dear brothers and sisters,

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

the nature of the life of this world

00:01:47--> 00:01:50

is that we constantly witness

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

painful events,

00:01:55--> 00:01:59

catastrophic events, disasters,

00:02:00--> 00:02:06

whether they be natural or as a result of us human beings.

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

These disasters

00:02:12--> 00:02:16

and catastrophic events that leave

00:02:18--> 00:02:21

that leave us with a loss of life

00:02:23--> 00:02:24

with a loss of wealth

00:02:26--> 00:02:32

with a loss of property with a loss of homes. This is part

00:02:34--> 00:02:39

of this life that Allah subhanahu wa Tana made us to live in this world

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

where everyone can be shaved,

00:02:43--> 00:02:50

mirror healthy, while jewelry, one oxy mineral am well you will unfussy what Samurai

00:02:51--> 00:02:52

Baba Shiraz Saberi

00:02:53--> 00:02:55

Allah subhanahu wa taala

00:02:56--> 00:03:03

says that we will surely certainly make you taste something

00:03:05--> 00:03:06

a fear

00:03:08--> 00:03:09

of hunger.

00:03:12--> 00:03:14

A loss of wealth

00:03:16--> 00:03:26

a loss of crops a loss or loss of lives. Well that's Shiraz. savarin. But give glad tidings to who?

00:03:27--> 00:03:34

To those who are patient. Because with such disasters comes pain and suffering.

00:03:36--> 00:03:43

And the only ones who are successful through such disasters are those who are patient.

00:03:44--> 00:03:48

And so my dear brothers and sisters a few days ago, we witnessed

00:03:49--> 00:03:51

those blasts

00:03:52--> 00:03:55

in the route that left

00:03:57--> 00:03:58

hundreds dead

00:04:00--> 00:04:01

1000s injured

00:04:03--> 00:04:06

10 to $15 billion of property damage

00:04:08--> 00:04:11

and an estimated 300,000 people

00:04:13--> 00:04:14

without any homes.

00:04:16--> 00:04:18

Allah subhanahu wa taala

00:04:19--> 00:04:22

shows us such things in this life

00:04:25--> 00:04:28

for a variety of reasons,

00:04:29--> 00:04:31

for a variety of wisdom.

00:04:33--> 00:04:40

And so there are always lessons that a believer must always derive from such events.

00:04:41--> 00:04:42

Because

00:04:44--> 00:04:54

if we witness such events, and just watch the news, and just hear what's going on, without deriving any lessons without

00:04:56--> 00:04:59

making a change as a result of what we witness

00:05:01--> 00:05:03

Then we're worse than animals.

00:05:04--> 00:05:22

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.

00:05:23--> 00:05:28

It only happens due to the murder of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.

00:05:30--> 00:05:34

It only happens because Allah destined and decreed for it to happen.

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

Nobody on this on the face of this earth

00:05:42--> 00:05:45

could prevent something that Allah has decreed.

00:05:46--> 00:05:52

And so look at how advanced we human beings have become, have become in this day and age. And yet

00:05:53--> 00:06:05

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.

00:06:06--> 00:06:08

Whoever was destined to die.

00:06:09--> 00:06:14

No one could have saved them. Whoever was destined to be saved.

00:06:16--> 00:06:17

No one.

00:06:19--> 00:06:29

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

00:06:30--> 00:06:31

that the believer the woman

00:06:32--> 00:06:38

submits to the Kaaba and the culture of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.

00:06:39--> 00:06:41

The believer submits

00:06:42--> 00:06:53

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.

00:06:54--> 00:07:03

And also what we learn is that no matter what you may try to do to flee from death.

00:07:05--> 00:07:13

If it was appointed by Allah, you can never fleet we saw images of people recording those blasts

00:07:15--> 00:07:18

from the safety of their homes,

00:07:19--> 00:07:20

and they felt it

00:07:22--> 00:07:24

and this reminds us

00:07:26--> 00:07:31

when Allah subhanahu wa taala tells us about the munaf akun

00:07:33--> 00:07:34

when they complained

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

about not going out for jihad. They said

00:07:40--> 00:07:42

if it was in our hands

00:07:44--> 00:07:57

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.

00:07:59--> 00:08:06

Even if you are in your own homes, those who it was decreed for them to meet their fate.

00:08:08--> 00:08:10

They would have died even on their beds.

00:08:12--> 00:08:13

The second lesson that we learned

00:08:16--> 00:08:19

is that such disasters happen

00:08:20--> 00:08:21

as a result

00:08:22--> 00:08:24

of our own wrongdoing.

00:08:25--> 00:08:36

As a result of our own transgressions, as a result of our own sins as a result of the corruption of society.

00:08:41--> 00:08:51

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

00:08:54--> 00:09:00

that whatever calamity befalls you, it was because of what you yourselves had done.

00:09:02--> 00:09:17

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.

00:09:19--> 00:09:20

And it's no secret.

00:09:22--> 00:09:23

It's no secret

00:09:24--> 00:09:29

that a place like Lebanon is a place that has spread a lot

00:09:31--> 00:09:34

of vices and evil to the Arab world.

00:09:36--> 00:09:39

From movies and films,

00:09:40--> 00:09:43

and all kinds of other evils.

00:09:44--> 00:09:49

Much of it that exists in the Arab world, its source is this country.

00:09:51--> 00:09:53

The third lesson that we learn is

00:09:59--> 00:10:00

the third

00:10:00--> 00:10:01

lesson that we learn

00:10:02--> 00:10:04

is that such an event is a wake up call

00:10:06--> 00:10:07

for those

00:10:09--> 00:10:14

who have been affected by it directly, as well as the owner at large

00:10:16--> 00:10:18

for their betrayal

00:10:21--> 00:10:22

of Muslims around the world.

00:10:25--> 00:10:29

And so across the border, only a few kilometers away

00:10:31--> 00:10:34

what the Syrians have been going through

00:10:37--> 00:10:37

and how

00:10:39--> 00:10:41

1000s and millions

00:10:42--> 00:10:46

have been left without homes, how

00:10:47--> 00:10:50

they have been made to cross the border.

00:10:52--> 00:10:58

This is all a wake up call. And that is why it was from Hannah who punishes those

00:10:59--> 00:11:02

who are near before those who are far away.

00:11:04--> 00:11:14

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.

00:11:16--> 00:11:17

And Allah subhanahu wa Tada.

00:11:19--> 00:11:22

He makes us to taste that to wake us up.

00:11:25--> 00:11:27

The fourth lesson that we learn

00:11:29--> 00:11:33

is the Nirvana, the blessing of safety and security.

00:11:35--> 00:11:37

The all of us today

00:11:38--> 00:11:41

are living safe and sound.

00:11:42--> 00:11:49

Not having to go through what many are having to go through in other parts of the world.

00:11:50--> 00:11:52

This is a blessing.

00:11:53--> 00:11:57

That if we are not thankful to Allah subhanho wa Taala for

00:11:59--> 00:12:02

then what has happened to others will also happen to us.

00:12:03--> 00:12:10

If we're not thankful for are grateful to the blessings of Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala will strip them away from us.

00:12:12--> 00:12:15

The blessing of safety and security

00:12:16--> 00:12:23

and stability. It is a blessing from Allah subhanho wa Taala.

00:12:24--> 00:12:26

Allah subhanho wa Taala took it away

00:12:29--> 00:12:30

from

00:12:31--> 00:12:36

one of the best places on the face of this earth 1400 years ago

00:12:38--> 00:12:42

when they were ungrateful to Allah subhanho wa Taala.

00:12:43--> 00:12:45

And so the people of Mecca

00:12:46--> 00:12:49

were living in safety and security.

00:12:51--> 00:13:33

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.

00:13:36--> 00:13:39

Weather in Chicago tune, let us see the

00:13:41--> 00:14:02

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.

00:14:04--> 00:14:15

Then Allah warns us in either be Russia deed, that my punishment is surely painful. Finally, among the lessons that we learn is

00:14:18--> 00:14:21

that these explosions and these blasts

00:14:23--> 00:14:24

were nothing

00:14:26--> 00:14:27

compared

00:14:29--> 00:14:33

to the shaking of the earth, when it will happen on the Day of Judgment.

00:14:34--> 00:14:37

And so it is recorded that these blasts caused

00:14:39--> 00:14:43

they caused a seismic event of 3.3

00:14:45--> 00:14:46

on the Richter scale

00:14:47--> 00:14:55

of loss of Hannah who were 200 tells us yeah, are you Hannah's in Zilla? Does it show you

00:14:58--> 00:14:59

that the quake

00:15:00--> 00:15:06

When the earth it shakes on the Day of Judgment indeed that is something great

00:15:07--> 00:15:12

either 00 till 200 either jetty or Raja.

00:15:14--> 00:15:16

Throughout the Quran Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks

00:15:18--> 00:15:28

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.

00:15:30--> 00:15:31

It's something temporary.

00:15:32--> 00:15:40

It's something that comes and it goes. It's something that leaves a lot of damage. Yes.

00:15:41--> 00:15:43

But soon after that we rebuild.

00:15:44--> 00:16:01

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

00:16:03--> 00:16:21

Lune. My dear brothers and sisters among the most important rights

00:17:48--> 00:17:50

that we Muslims share

00:17:51--> 00:17:52

among one another

00:17:54--> 00:17:55

is

00:17:58--> 00:17:59

that the Muslim

00:18:01--> 00:18:02

being the brother

00:18:03--> 00:18:04

of the Muslim,

00:18:07--> 00:18:09

he feels his pain he feels his suffering.

00:18:11--> 00:18:12

And this causes him

00:18:15--> 00:18:20

to help him in times of need in times of difficulty.

00:18:21--> 00:18:27

And so when Allah subhanho wa Taala made the believers brothers.

00:18:28--> 00:18:32

And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reminded us of this brotherhood.

00:18:33--> 00:18:34

It was not

00:18:35--> 00:18:36

merely

00:18:39--> 00:18:42

a name tag. It was not merely

00:18:43--> 00:18:44

a badge,

00:18:46--> 00:18:47

a slogan,

00:18:48--> 00:18:53

but rather, this brotherhood meant action.

00:18:54--> 00:19:00

And so when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, I'll Muslim, a whole Muslim

00:19:02--> 00:19:08

that a believer is the brother, the Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim.

00:19:09--> 00:19:11

He didn't say that and just stop there.

00:19:12--> 00:19:17

But rather, he reminded us of the duty that

00:19:18--> 00:19:47

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

00:19:49--> 00:19:50

a Muslim

00:19:51--> 00:19:59

comes to help his Muslim brother in a time of need, then Allah subhanho wa Taala will be there for him.

00:20:00--> 00:20:14

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,

00:20:16--> 00:20:18

whenever a Muslim

00:20:20--> 00:20:30

relieves the difficulty of another Muslim, the distress of another Muslim of the difficulties of this dunya, than it is a promise of Allah.

00:20:32--> 00:20:34

And it is a promise of His Messenger,

00:20:35--> 00:20:38

that Allah subhanho wa Taala will relieve him

00:20:39--> 00:20:44

of a distress, a difficulty that he will face on the Day of Judgment.

00:20:46--> 00:20:50

And so we all go through difficulties in this life.

00:20:52--> 00:21:06

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,

00:21:08--> 00:21:16

then fulfill the needs of your brothers who are facing difficulty today. In the dunya.

00:21:17--> 00:21:22

My dear brothers and sisters, we need to put ourselves in the feet

00:21:23--> 00:21:27

of our brothers and sisters who are suffering around the world.

00:21:29--> 00:21:32

If we don't feel their pain, if we don't feel their suffering,

00:21:34--> 00:21:42

then it means one of two things, either we are not their brothers and sisters in faith.

00:21:44--> 00:21:50

Or we are blinded by the dunya. And we are drugged.

00:21:51--> 00:21:57

Like a person who has to go through surgery, they drug him

00:21:58--> 00:22:15

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

00:22:16--> 00:22:24

that this owner of ours is like one body. Whenever one part of it feels pain and suffering

00:22:26--> 00:22:42

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.

00:22:44--> 00:22:46

And so today is an opportunity to give

00:22:48--> 00:22:53

and to lighten the burden. And to remove and relieve the difficulty.

00:22:55--> 00:23:03

Of those who have been left homeless, as we mentioned, 300,000, estimated 300,000 it could be much more than that.

00:23:04--> 00:23:12

who have been left without a home without a shelter, without food without money.

00:23:13--> 00:23:21

And so do your duty as a believer and as a member of this

00:23:22--> 00:23:22

and give

00:23:24--> 00:23:33
