			If we do so, we have arrived, we

			have succeeded.

			of Allah.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			Fear Allah.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			Be aware of Allah.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			Then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala commands us
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			to say the truth.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:42
			Say قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا Sincerity in your speech.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			Sincerity in your actions and intentions.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			If you are sincere and you are truthful,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:47
			what happens?
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			يُسْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ أَنْ يَتَقَبَّلْهَا Allah will accept
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			your good deeds.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ And will forgive the bad
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			deeds.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			And you get the best of both worlds.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			Just be honest with Allah.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			Show Allah that you're trying.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			Say the truth.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			Be sincere.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			And you'll get the best of both worlds.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			Then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says, وَمَنْ
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهَ And whoever obeys Allah and
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			the Prophet of Allah ﷺ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			عَظِيمًا Then you are the best of winners.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			May Allah make us of those who are
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:21
			among them.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:27
			يَا رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ Brothers and sisters, as we
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			go through our days and we watch the
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			news and it's a mix of difficulty and
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			ease, a moment of celebration such as the
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			one we heard about, the ceasefire, alhamdulillah.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			In the midst of that announcement, you still
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			have these bombs that may fall on our
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			brothers and sisters in Gaza.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			And may Allah grant justice to all our
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			brothers and sisters around the world.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			أَمِيرَ بَالْعَالَمِينَ But regardless of what happens and
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			regardless of what is the breaking news, we
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			will always say one word which is alhamdulillah.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			Nothing will change that.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:03
			Allah is the best.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:04
			Does it change?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			If you see things not going very well,
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			will you not say Allah is the best?
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			If things are going great, is that only
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			when you say Allah is the best?
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			No, we say Allah is the best regardless
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			of our situation.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			That is why the Prophet ﷺ, he taught
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:26
			us when something good happens, saying alhamdulillah الَّذِي
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتِ There's an addition.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Praise be to Allah, the one, good things
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			happen because of him.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			And the hadith says, same hadith, and when
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			something of bad news he hears, what does
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:38
			he say?
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			Same thing.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			The addition, على كل حال, in every case.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			So in every case, in every khutbah, in
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			every announcement, in every event, in every occasion,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			alhamdulillah.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			Why am I emphasizing on this?
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			Because I want to share with you inshallah
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			in this khutbah, three steps, bi-idhnillah subhanahu
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			If we hold tight to, we will be
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			able to overcome any hardship and any difficulty
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:01
			in our lives.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			If we hold tight to, you will not
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			just pass the test, you will come out
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			of it stronger than before, inshallah.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			And every step is from Allah and the
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			The first one, I hope I made it
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			clear, which is, the moment you go through
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			the difficulty, the moment you get a phone
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			call, may Allah protect you, ya Rabb.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			You got laid off from work.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			The moment you get a message or an
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			email, your child fell off the stairs.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			The moment a car accident takes place, you're
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			at the red light, you're fully stopped, someone
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			hits you from the back.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			The moment the calamity strikes, step number one,
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			let Allah's name be on your tongue.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			That's one.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			If you truly want to pass that difficulty
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			that you have, the calamity you're facing, let
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			the first thing that comes from your mouth,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			the first step is the name of Allah.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			And the Prophet ﷺ, he told us in
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			a beautiful hadith, when you ever face a
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			calamity, say, إِنَّ لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّ عِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ To
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			Allah we belong, and to Allah we shall
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			return.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			That is to be said at a musibah.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			To know that I'm here for a period
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			of time, then I'm going back.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			This entire life, if I were to make
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			a very simplistic example, it's like a lease.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			We're all like here on earth as a
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			lease.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			Tenants, this is a rental property.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Even if you own the house, you're a
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			tenant for a period of time, your children
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			will take over, your grandkids will take over.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			And that place you're in today, someone was
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			in it yesterday, and you're gonna move on.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			So when you remember that you're here for
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			a short period of time, it eases the
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			pain just a bit, and makes you keep
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			your eyes on the prize in akhirah.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			That is why Umm Salama, may Allah be
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			pleased by her, she says in an authentic
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			hadith, when my husband Abu Salama died, and
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			we have to appreciate the relationship.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			Why?
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			Abu Salama and Umm Salama were among the
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			first ones to emigrate from Mecca to Medina,
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:01
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			Amazing couple.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			One of the most righteous men in all
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			of Medina, Abu Salama, he died.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			And when he died, what did Umm Salama
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:11
			say?
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			I remembered the command of the Prophet, salallahu
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			I remember to say the dua.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			The dua has three parts, and this falls
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			under the first step, which is remember Allah
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			at the time of the calamity.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			She said, the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			taught us to say, إِنَّ لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّ لَيْهِ
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			رَاجِعُونَ To Allah we belong, and to Allah
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			we shall return.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			Then he told us to say, اللَّهُمَّ أَجُرْنِي
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:43
			فِي مُصِيبَتِي اللَّهُمَّ أَجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي O Allah,
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			reward me for the pain.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			Ya Allah, I'm struggling.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			Ya Allah, this is painful.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			So let that pain be a source of
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			income of hasanat.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			And number three, وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا And
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			give me something better than the calamity I
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			experienced.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Substitute me with something better than what I
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:03
			have lost.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			So Umm Salama says, I went ahead and
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			said it, Allahu Akbar, a great mu'min and
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:10
			believer.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			Her husband passed away, a great man.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			Allah, the remembrance of Allah is my step
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:15
			one.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			So she said, I said, To Allah we
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			belong, and to Allah we shall return.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			She said, I said the second one, اللَّهُمَّ
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			أَجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي Ya Allah, reward me for
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			the pain.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			But she said, I can't say the third
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			one.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			Third one, tough.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			Third one, give me something better than what
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			I have lost.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			It's against my logic.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			She said, and who is better than Abu
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			Salama?
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			What in the dunya, not even has to
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			be a husband.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			What in the dunya can Allah give me
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			that is better than Abu Salama?
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			But she said, her iman pushed.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			Logic may not kick in.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			Who is it?
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			What will happen?
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			Doesn't matter, trust Allah.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			He can do it.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			So she said, I pushed myself and I
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			said the third one.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			Oh Allah, give me something better than what
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			I have lost.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			Not too long after that dua, who comes?
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			A sahabi.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			Knocks on the door of Abu Salama in
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			authentic hadith, and he tells her, I'm coming
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			on behalf of someone.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			Excuse me?
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			I'm coming on behalf of someone who's asking
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			your hand in marriage.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			Who is the one proposing to her?
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			The Rasul sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam proposes to Umm
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			Salama.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			How do you think she felt?
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			She cried, she fell on the ground, frustration.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			Alhamdulillah, the one who fulfills his promises.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			Then she says at the end of the
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			hadith, لقد أبدلني.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			Indeed, Allah has given me someone better than
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			Abu Salama, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			That is why Umm Salama is our mother,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			Ummul Mu'mineen.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			So the moment the calamity strikes, let the
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			first thing that comes from your mouth is
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			the dhikr of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			A dua like the one I shared or
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			Alhamdulillah or any dhikr Allah's mentioned.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:12
			أَلَىٰ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبِ Allah says with
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			the remembrance of Allah, the hearts feel at
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:15
			rest.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			May Allah put our hearts at rest.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:17
			يا رب العالمين.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			The second step the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			teaches us is that when the calamity strikes,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			you have to full-heartedly believe there's good
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:29
			in it.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			How?
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			I don't know.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			When will you see it?
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:34
			Allah knows.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			But you have to truly believe there's khair
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			in it.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			Even if everything tells you otherwise.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			I'm at the red light going to Jum
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:43
			'ah.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			Someone hits me in the back.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			That's khair?
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			I'm going to go teach someone a halaqah,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:50
			a lecture.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			I sprain my ankle at the stairs.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			Is it khair that now someone who is
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			innocent gets slandered in the community?
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			How is that khair?
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			Wallahi it's khair.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said so.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			He says عَجَبًا بِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ Amazing is the
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			state of the believer.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			Now, be careful.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			Whatever I said, that it's good, it's always
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			khair, there's good in it, it's only for
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			the believer.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			You cannot go and copy-paste this to
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			anyone in the world.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:17
			No, no, no.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:21
			The Prophet told us, وَلَيْسَ ذَكَ لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			لِلْمُؤْمِنِ The statement, it's all good.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			You heard that, right?
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:25
			It's all good.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			Can only be fully applied to the believer.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			Then he says, إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءٌ لَكَلَامَةِ Hardship
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			falls upon them and they are patient.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			That is good.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			You passed.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			Great job.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءٌ And if a moment of
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			ease and prosperity befalls them and they are
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			grateful, then that is good for them.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			So you have to truly see the khair
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			in it.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			Some of us will see it tomorrow, literally
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			tomorrow, no exaggeration.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			Some of us may see it in an
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:53
			hour.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			Some of us may see it in 10
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:55
			years.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			Some of us will see it يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			But there is khair.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			Or you who proposed, you got rejected and
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			you were sad and now 10, 20 years
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			later, Allah blessed you with another spouse and
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			you're like, الحمد لله, this one worked, the
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			other one didn't.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			Or you who was dying to move to
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			Dallas so badly, you did everything you can,
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			you looked at real estate, then you ended
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			up being in Raleigh.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			Khair, wallahi it's khair.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			May Allah bless the beautiful community of Raleigh.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ There is khair on how
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			Allah guides you.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			Just few weeks ago, in our local city,
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			there was a sister.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			I know the family personally.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			She is an older lady.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			She slept in the washroom.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			So she had a severe injury in her
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			hip area.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			So right away she was rushed to the
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			hospital.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			They did the examination.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			And what were the results of the injury?
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			Believe it or not, I'm telling you this
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			first person.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			She was discovered to have cancer.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:50
			Why?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			How was that possible?
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			When she went to go examine the pain
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			from the fall, they said, forget the fall,
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			forget the bones, you have cancer.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			But alhamdulillah, we caught it at an early
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			stage.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			So right away she was admitted to the
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			surgery room and they took off the cancer.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			You may say, why did she slip?
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			You know why she slipped?
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			She was making wudu.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			You're like, I'm making wudu and Allah makes
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:15
			me slip.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			So Allah can relieve you from the cancer.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:18
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:19
			There is khair.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			You may not see it now, but you
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			may see it later.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			Believe there is good in whatever Allah has
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:25
			planned for you.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:26
			Surrender to Allah.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			Number one, mention Allah's name.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			Number two, believe there is good in it.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			And the third one, I'll share it with
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			you in the second khutbah bi-idhnillah.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:57
			آله وصحبه وسلم All steps to take are
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			great and there's without a doubt more than
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			three and more than ten.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			But to share with you the last one
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			and perhaps one of the most important steps
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10
			of all is that when you face that
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			calamity or that tough news or that hardship,
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			you have to believe that you're strong enough
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			to face it.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			You have to believe that you're stronger than
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			that calamity.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			You have to believe that that calamity cannot
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			beat your soul.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			Your soul is stronger than it.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			You have to truly believe in that.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			And when you believe in that, you'll face
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			it in a different mentality.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			We take it from the Qur'an.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			We take it from the hadith of the
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			And I'm going to go to it.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			But before I go to it, I'm going
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			to tell you what a physician, an orthopedic
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			in Ohio, I had a conversation with him.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			So I asked him a question.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:53
			I said, is it true that when you
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:57
			let's say perform a surgery, you tell your
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			patient, you want to give him medication, you
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04
			tell them that you have to believe you
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:04
			will be cured?
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			Is that part of the steps of cure?
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			Like, yeah, I gotta do physical therapy.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			You have to do surgery, but you also
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			have to believe you will be cured.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			Is that mental part in?
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			You know what he told me?
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			He said, Majid, that's the first step in
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			cure.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			The first step in recovery is to believe
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			that you will recover.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			That's what the doctor tells the patients, whether
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			it happens or not.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			Allah is the shafi, the one who cures.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			Allah is the best example.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			The moment you see that calamity or the
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			hardship or that change in your life, abrupt
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			change, random, that you thought it came out
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:38
			of nowhere.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			You gotta believe your shoulders are wide enough
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			to handle it.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, how did Allah reveal
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:45
			the Quran?
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			We all know Allah revealed the Quran to
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			Jibreel alayhi salam.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			Jibreel revealed it to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:54
			wasallam.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			Allah to Jibreel to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			But did you know that there are some
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			ayat, very few ayat, where Allah revealed the
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			Quran right to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam?
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:06
			No, Jibreel.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			So without me telling you what these ayat
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			are, what will naturally happen to you?
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:16
			What is so special about these ayat that
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			Allah said it straight to the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			alayhi wasallam without the involvement of Jibreel?
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			This was based on the authentic hadith in
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			the trip al-Isra wal-Mi'raj.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			And what were these ayat?
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			The last two of Surah al-Baqarah.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			And the purpose of the khutbah and the
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			reference of this hadith are six words.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:41
			لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعه Allah will
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			never burden a soul beyond its capacity.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			Allah will not put something in your life
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			that will defeat your soul.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			Allah will not test you, O believer, with
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			a test that makes you lose hope in
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:53
			Allah.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			Allah will not put something in your life
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			that you are going to commit kufr because
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			this tragedy that happened to your life.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			Allah will save you and all protect you
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			and Allah built you that you're capable to
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			handle it inshallah.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			And focus on the word Allah said روح
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			Allah said نفس The soul, your body may
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			die from a test.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			Your body may die, but the soul may
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			not.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			How many times you visited a sick person?
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			Someone who is in stage four cancer.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			May Allah cure all those who are sick.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			You go visit them because they told you,
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			O brother, visit him before it's too late.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			He has three months, maybe three weeks.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			So you're healthy, strong, wealthy.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			You go to your car, drive to their
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			house and you try to hold your tears.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			You don't want to cry because you want
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			to give words of encouragement to the one
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			who's about to die.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			You walk in and what happens?
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			Who gives words of encouragement?
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			The one dying to the one who's healthy.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			The one dying is saying alhamdulillah.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			The one dying is lost all the weight
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:55
			that they have.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			The one dying believes that whatever Allah decreed
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			is best for me and the one who's
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			providing comfort is the one who is sick
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			to the one who is healthy.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			How is that possible?
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			That man or that woman believe that test
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			Allah gave me something I can survive.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			Even though the body may die, the soul
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			will be strong inshallah.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			That is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam,
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			what does he say in one of the
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			most beautiful hadith about this?
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			He was asked a question.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			Ya Rasulullah, ayyun nasi asaddu bala'a?
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			Ya Rasulullah, who are the ones that are
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			tested the most?
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			Who are the ones that see the highest
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			level of difficulty?
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:32
			Who are they?
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says, al
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			-anbiya, the prophets.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			I will not let this slip like this.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			He said the prophets.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			So you who is tested, do not let
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			shaitan and his army tell you Allah hates
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:47
			you.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			Do not let the devil whisper to you
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			that you are lowly and evil.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			That's why Allah is punishing you.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			No, it's because you are valuable.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			Because Allah loves the prophets more than anyone
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			and they faced hardship more than anyone.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			Keep that in mind.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:05
			So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he says,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			thumma as-salihoon.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			So the prophets are tested the most, then
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			the righteous, thumma al-amthala fal-amthala.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			It goes down the level.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			Then he says something to bring you all
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			comfort.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			He says, yubtala ar-rajulu ala hasbi deena.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:18
			You are tested.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			Remember the level of hardship?
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			You will be tested based on your level
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:23
			of faith.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			Allah will never test you with something above
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:27
			your capacity.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			Never.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			Allah may test you here, here, and here,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			and maximum here to match your level of
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			faith.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			Allah will never go a percent up.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			Never.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			Because that will break your soul and Allah
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			will never do something like that.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			So you have to believe that you're capable.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			Now the tests that are here are very
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			few in life.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:46
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			They don't happen all the time.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			Usually it's here, it's here.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			But the ones that are here are extremely
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			challenging.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			They're about to break you.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			But you gotta believe that you're built in
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:56
			a way to handle it.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			That test to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			that test was at-ta'if.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			It was at-ta'if.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			Aisha thought, may Allah be pleased by her.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			Aisha thought the test that was the peak
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			was Uhud.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			He said, no, Uhud is here.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:10
			Ta'if was here.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			Ta'if was the peak sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			faced and he survived it alayhi as-salatu
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			was-salam.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			So you too believe in that.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			That's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said,
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			فَإِن كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ صَلَابًا If your commitment
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			to your faith and religion was strong, زِيدَ
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			فِي البَلَاءِ Your test also goes up.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			Your iman goes up.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			Your test goes up.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			Your iman goes up until people cannot even
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			see me from the wall.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			Your iman goes up.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			Test goes up.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			This was said one time.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			Until a sister, you know what she said?
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			She said, oh brother, I don't want to
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			increase my iman.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			Why increase my iman?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			Hardship goes up.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			I said, you forgot the third one.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			If this was hardship, this was iman.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			There's something we have not yet addressed.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			The reward, the ajr, allahu akbar.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			The reward, you pass high school, you get
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			minimum wage.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			You do bachelor's, we give you 23.50
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			an hour.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			You finish your master's, we give you 47
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			.25 an hour.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			You do your PhD, we give you 75
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			.60 an hour.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			You like all the hardship but the pain.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			So keep your eyes on the prize and
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			believe the reward is worthy and you're strong
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			enough to face that level of hardship.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			bless you all and bless the people of
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			Quran and inshallah support your school, Quran, the
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			Noor Academy in this beautiful masjid.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			And tomorrow they have the event.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			May Allah allow us to support the people
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			of Quran and may Allah make us people
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:32
			of Quran.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:47
			Ameen.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			Inshallah, dear beloved imam, Muhammad Jirri, will be
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			leading the salah, inshallah.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:39
