She reached the level of iman that she
told herself, my iman is in my hand.
I won't blame my drop in faith because
of a toxic husband or family
or because I work with a group of
l g b t people if I do
not show support I will lose my job.
I will not blame things on society everyone
is corrupted where is al Mahdi. My iman
is in my hand
and nothing to blame no one except my
own self. And she grew her faith until
the prophet said, she reached perfection.
And we ask Allah to send his peace
and his blessings upon Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
So the star of this session, the role
model of this session
is a queen.
She's a queen who have been given the
crown in the most prestigious of palaces on
earth.
She is someone
who had everything in the world.
She is someone who was happy with Allah
and Allah was happy with her.
She was someone who reached the perfection
in iman, in faith.
She is someone who gave up everything in
the world for the akhirah.
She was someone, she was a queen, she
was a woman, she was a sister
who was okay
to be thirsty
even though she had rivers flowing under her
palace.
She was a sister. She was a woman
that I would not say she has a
expensive
purse from that brand
or that suit from that company.
She was someone that had everything custom made
for her. It's a whole other level that
most people will never reach.
She is none other than Asiya,
the daughter of Muzahim.
Asiya, the wife of Firaoun.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us how she
reached perfection. Only 4 women reached it.
One of them is that wonderful lady.
Now what you and I should do logically
speaking is
what did Allah highlight
from her life
that you and I should dissect? You agree
with me?
What did Allah say about her? She lived
a relatively long life. A child, teenager, got
married, lived long, get off and some said
she saw eventually Musa as a prophet, and
she saw Musa fighting against the magicians.
So she saw a lot of events.
Out of all her life,
are you ready to hear
the only two references
in the Quran about her?
Only 2.
So without a doubt, these two references
are very critical for you and I to
look up to this wonderful lady.
Number 1 is an action to do with
the public.
The second reference is an action in private.
So before we even start, what do we
learn from this?
Maximize your public life and private life for
the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
You go back to your list of good
deeds. If you were to open up your
book of good deeds, there's an wonderful list
of things that you've done. Insha'Allah. Right? Of
the 10 things that are written, how many
are public in front of people?
And how many are private?
Allah is showing you how 50%
of her reference is her private life, is
her talking with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Asiya Radiallahu Anha,
she had a very toxic
husband,
Firaun. And you heard that session by our
wonderful beloved brother, doctor Farhan Abdul Aziz. Were
you there inshallah? You paid close attention.
She realized how of a narcissist
her husband was,
and she knew how obsessed he was with
the chair and the seat,
that he was willing to kill every little
boy and baby from Bani Israel. Correct?
Do you know why? Do you remember why
or no?
Because he was told
that soon a child from the children of
Israel will grow
to dethrone you, will grow to be the
leader of all of Masr and the Muslimen
at that time. So he was so nervous.
He made a command, kill every baby
so that he does not risk losing the
seat. Just like the tyrants of today, they
will still stay in the seat at the
expense of their own people. SubhanAllah.
So then,
as he's killing all these babies, reference number
1, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
Quran
how the mother of Musa, when she delivered
baby Musa,
Allah told her, when you are worried that
he will be exposed, her baby, because when
he cries,
the soldiers will hear there's a baby so
they will knock on the door, give us
your baby and slaughter him. So Allah says,
if you feel your baby will now be
exposed, what do you do with your baby?
Put him in a coffin, in a box,
and put him onto the river.
We promise you, oh mother of Musa, we
will return him back to you. She places
the box into that river, baby Musa is
in it.
Out of all the places on earth or
all the places the river leads to, about
600,000
is the population of Bani Israel approximately.
Out of all the homes on that river,
where does baby Musa land?
He lands in the palace of Drououn.
So in other words, he landed in the
worst possible location.
Yes or no? Out of everything that can
happen, a soldier would have not been as
bad.
A hate a hater from many Israel would
have not been as bad. Nothing is worse
than Faraoun. So what do you and I
learn?
Sometimes
the worst thing that you thought has happened
to you was actually the best thing that
has ever happened to you.
The best thing that happened to Musa was
actually landing up Ra'un, and it could not
get any better.
For those whom came here, let's say, as
refugees. I came to this country as a
refugee.
I remember till this day, and my mom
reminds me how that was the most depressing
moments of my life was moving to this
part of the world as a teenager.
By now I realize I had asked Allah
to accept this was the best move of
my life.
May Allah accept from all of us.
So when he lands there,
what does
Asiya she says? Allah
says,
the wife of pharaoh. She saw the box.
She saw the baby.
She said to pharaoh,
Pharaoh, please let this child
be a source of joy for me and
for you.
Le taqtulu,
please don't kill him. Please don't kill this
one child.
Perhaps, Yanfauna,
maybe he will benefit us or
what?
Adopt him as a child.
So that was one of 2.
What do we take from this? Wallahi, at
that time, Allah can go more and more.
Number 1,
she said, perhaps this child be a source
of joy for me and
you.
She didn't just say me.
She's showing us
how the door of repentance
is open even to him.
That's the level of Rahmah.
She didn't say there's no way anything in
the world will make you happy. Nothing will
change you, you loser.
She said, maybe this child will change you.
Maybe this child will make you a better
person. Maybe this child will make you happy.
She did not close the door of Allah's
mercy on someone like pharaoh. Let's be like
this lady.
Towards my
siblings, towards our children that may never listen
to us, they may be drug addicts, they
will never show up to the masjid, not
even in Eid. Don't shut the door on
them because she did not shut the door
on Faraun, the worst living being to walk
on earth.
Then she said,
perhaps he will be of positive benefit for
us.
Perhaps
because she thought well of Allah and Allah
met her expectations.
She thinks well of Allah
Perhaps he will benefit us or we adopt
him. Some said she never had a child
before, and how Allah willed this to happen
so she can be inclined to even take
him as a child.
But what's also something very important? She said
do not kill him.
Assia, may Allah be pleased by you. How
many babies have been slaughtered?
Approximately. Some say 70,000.
What will that one baby benefit?
Allah will judge Assia based on what she
was able to cause and change.
Allah will not ask Assia about the 70,000
babies that were massacred,
but Allah will ask her about that baby
because that was within her capacity.
Allah may not ask you, what have you
done in the people
of Gaza? Why didn't you go there? Why
didn't you do something? Because it was outside
your capacity.
But the moment the chance comes to you,
you will be asked what have you done
when you could've.
I'm from Michigan, for example, and we all
know it's a very serious
swing state.
And genocide Joe came 2 days ago to
right next to where I work, next to
the GM building.
And people tried to do protesting and so
on. He's desperate for Michigan, and may Allah
not make him win Michigan. And
may Allah make him see a little bit
of the pain that he cause all these
people.
So the point being here, Allah will ask
me very likely,
what have you done with your vote?
And I will not say it's just one
vote because she could have said it's just
one baby.
But that one baby was the one that
brought relief to the entire country.
And maybe that one vote from you or
from me will cause the change to our
brothers and sisters overseas.
She did not belittle a good deed. Let's
learn that from her.
Do not belittle a single good deed. The
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, even if it
was just a smile.
Just a smile.
Just right now before I began my session,
I was talking to a brother. Just right
now. Then he said, so and so speaker
came to me, and I sat with him
for a very short period of time. This
brother said, wallahi, my heart felt so comfortable
towards him. I loved him so much. He
that sense of iman of increasing. Why? He
says he came and he was smiling.
Don't belittle that smile. He said he came,
he saw my son, and he mentioned his
name, and he played with my son. Though
I know that speaker is very tired,
little things go a long way. And I
can guarantee you something, and Allah knows best.
This speaker had no clue that was the
impact of his smile.
That was the impact of calling that brother
by his first name. It goes a long
way.
This was Asiya
And perhaps perhaps
she
knew someone will dethrone her husband or to
be specific,
she knew oppression will be stopped by someone.
Right?
Maybe it's that someone.
And I will try, hopefully, it's that one
person. And I will not
say it's only one life because we know
you save one life, it's like you saved
the whole world.
And you kill one life, it's like you
killed the whole world. May Allah protect us.
To transition to the second part and end
insha'Allah.
The wife of pharaoh in some books of
tafsir says how
Musa now is growing right before her eyes.
She was educating him. She taught him the
akhlaq,
the manners, the etiquettes. He's working out at
the palace of pharaoh. He's now the adopted
son. His name is Prince Musa.
Eventually Musa realizes, pharaoh does not treat me
fairly.
Pharaoh does not show the love I see
fathers show to kids.
Eventually, he is told you're really not an
Egyptian. You are not one of the masreen.
You're from Bani Israel.
And then he came to know his roots.
He learned
about the deen. Eventually, he killed someone by
mistake.
Then he ran away to Madyan.
He came back as a
Prophet. As a prophet.
When he came back as a prophet, Allah
knows how happy Asiya was. My son, the
one who I raised,
eventually had the competition with the magicians
and Allah showed the victory of Musa against
the magicians.
And some say that when Iman filled her
hard, Assia RadiAllahu Anha. The richest of woman
on earth at that time and Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala knows best.
Right then and there, iman entered the heart.
There's another person in the palace accepts Islam.
Who's that person?
The hairdresser
of the daughter of
pharaoh.
When pharaoh knows the hairdresser of his daughter
accepts Islam,
What did pharaoh do? Oh, Islam came into
my palace. Let me make an example out
of this hairdresser.
He burned her alive with her 4 children.
Then what happened? Enough is enough.
Assia has enough of this.
Now the biggest revolt that can ever happen
when the first lady
is not on the same page as the
king.
The first lady is not just not on
the same page. The first lady is doing
the highest level of jihad,
which is saying the word of truth in
the face of a tyrant.
And she knew the consequences
because he was worried about a baby who
did not do anything. He killed a baby
who did not do anything.
He burned a her dresser and employee.
What will he do to someone that can
impact all of Egypt
when she becomes Muslim?
So he goes to her and he tells
her to quit this religion and quit this
faith, but she insists enough is enough.
So he has an idea, I had to
torture this lady. I have to erase her
from earth.
So he goes to his soldiers,
and he asked them, what do you know
about Asia?
They said, ethnu alayha. They said good things
about her. She's very respectful. She's a very
modest lady. You have the best of wife
in the world anyone can dream of.
So Faraun tells them but she worship someone
other than me.
They said,
then kill her. SubhanAllah. Look at the switching.
So Faraun says, take her out to the
desert,
and strip her off her clothes,
and tie her hands onto the ground and
her legs,
and put a massive rock on her body.
And who supervises the torture? Fraun himself.
Until his wife renounces her faith.
But she holds tight to the din,
gives up the whole world,
had all the wealth that you can imagine.
Maybe the perfume, one spray of the perfume
last for a week for how luxurious it
was. Her purse is our brands that no
one can imagine. Gave up all of that
for because
that time that was the payment of
Then he says, would you renounce your faith?
She says, no.
So he gets so angry, no food, no
drink, under the heat of the sun, she
never quits. At the end,
he says it's time to kill her. So
he says move her body next to a
cliff of a mountain,
bring the massive rock on the top,
and right when you have her under it,
throw the rock on top of her and
to crush her bones.
So they bring Asia under that cliff.
Last call, would you change?
Last call,
are you gonna hesitate?
Last call, Do you regret what you said?
There's a room. Door is open. Come back
to the luxury of this life.
Oh Allah, build me next to you a
house in Jannah.
And protect me from frown
and his deeds.
And protect me from the oppressors around him,
you Allah.
No response to you. Nothing. I want only
from Allah.
Her dua to Allah. He tried to put
her in the desert so no one can
see and hear, but Allah put it in
the Quran so we can read it to
the ul Qiyamah.
Her relationship with Allah
made her reach perfection.
No one could have heard her except Allah,
and Allah honored that. She reached the level
of iman that she told herself, my iman
is in my hand.
I won't blame my drop in faith because
of a toxic husband or family
or because I work with a group of
LGBT people if I do not show
support, I will lose my job. I will
not blame things on society. Everyone is corrupted.
Where is al Mahdi? My iman is in
my hand,
and nothing to blame, no one except my
own self. And she grew her faith until
the prophet said, she reached perfection.
Realize
our power is in the hands of Allah
and Allah gave us the means to excel.
May Allah make us see her in Jannah
For surely, she is in Jannah. And you
know where she's at? Right next to Allah
because she chose the neighbor
before she chose the actual house. And if
you want to have a house next to
Allah,
then increase your prostration to Allah and
further emphasis on the men.
You want a house next to Allah?
Visit visit his house in Dunya frequently, and
the houses of Allah are Isma
