00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			Over there is where Mariam alaihi
salam had her Mishra. It is the
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			place where Maria Malay has Salam
would go and have special worship.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			Now before we talk about who Maria
Malay has Salam was, let's think
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			about who the mother of Maryam
Alaihe Salam was the mother of
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			Miriam alaihi salam when she was
pregnant with her baby, and she
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			made a special dua. You may have
heard this dua before. You may
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			have read it in the Quran before,
maybe you made it if you were
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:35
			pregnant at some time, this dua
came from a place of incredible
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			pain for the mother of Maria, and
the reason is because she had been
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			making dua to have a baby. She
wanted to become pregnant, and she
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			wasn't able to become pregnant.
And then she sees a bird. This one
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			is mentioned in tafsir Ibn Kathir.
She sees a little bird feeding its
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			babies, and as she sees that bird
feeding its babies, she starts
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			making dua, Oh Allah, bless her.
With the baby. She wants to have a
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			baby, even though she's been
making this dua already. This is
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			one narration as other narrations
to talk about a different,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			slightly different story. But the
point is, she sees this bird she
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			makes to offer a baby. She is now
pregnant for anyone who has ever
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			wanted a child and who has been
struggling with infertility, the
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:20
			joy of pregnancy is so beautiful.
And then with this joy, you can
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			imagine that she is going to have
a baby with her husband, and
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			they're going to be first time
parents, and they're so excited.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			And then her husband passes away.
So Imran.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			Imran passes away. So now, instead
of looking forward to being a
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			mother with her husband, she is
scared because she is going to
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			become a single mother, and she
doesn't know how she's going to
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			navigate that. And there are
different tempos here that talk
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			about her emotions in this time,
tashira Radi Ibn Ashur, different
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:54
			tempestir talk about her feelings
and the way that she felt. And
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			what they say is that she went to
the that we have in the Quran,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			where she says, rubbing. In
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:14
			me, oh, Allah, I dedicate what is
in my womb to you. You are the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			hearing and you are the knowing. A
semi
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			Why would Allah? Why would she use
these two names of Allah when
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			she's making dua? I want you to
put a hold on her story for a
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			second, and let's go to a
different story of the Qur'an.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			This is a companion of the
Prophet. Peace be upon him. And
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			she had a situation with her
husband, so her husband basically
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			got in an argument with her, and
then he said to her, You are like
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			the back of my mother, which, in
the time of pre Islamic Arabia,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			was considered a divorce
statement. Later on, different
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			narrations say that he went out
with his friends. A different
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			narration says, like an hour
later. Another one says the next
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			day, he came to her and tried to
be intimate with her, and he said
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			she said she physically pushed him
off because she said that
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			basically he had divorced her, and
she doesn't know if it's even okay
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			to do so. She said she went to the
Prophet sallallahu that he would
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			send them. She goes to the Prophet
sallallahu that he would send
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			them. And when she talks to him,
she explains to the Prophet he's
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			kind of what happened. And do you
know what she says about her
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			husband? She says that he is the
most beloved person to me. She
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			does not want a divorce. She wants
to stay with her husband. And the
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			Prophet sallallahu, alayhi
wasallam hasn't had any divorce
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			laws revealed yet. So when he when
Bihar is happening, which this,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			this version of divorce, there's
nothing else that has replaced it
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			from the Quran yet. So the Prophet
SAW just basically says that it's,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			it's, you know, the divorce
happened, because that's the way
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			that had already taken place. So
then what does Paula do? She turns
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			towards the idla, and she starts
making dua, and she says, she says
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			that, oh, Allah, I complain to
you. I ask you, I beg of you. I am
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			asking you. And she's talking to
Allah about how she's feeling, and
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			she's begging him to clarify for
her. And as she's sitting with the
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
sallam, this is when the ayah was
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			revealed. Tell me the ayah,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			what is the end of that verse in
the law? So
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:18
			this surah
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			says in the
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:27
			law. In he is the one who hears
all hearing, and he is the all
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:32
			seeing. In the other ayah, where
the mother of Mary,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			she says he is the one who what
semi or the All Hearing and the
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			All Knowing when someone is in a
situation that hold that
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			experience in a marriage, for
example, or any type of
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			relationship, there's two sides to
a story. No one is actually going
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			to know the truth, because no one
else was there, except for the
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			people that were there, and both
of them saw it in a different way.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			When you have a conversation with
someone, sometimes you remember
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			things very differently. But Allah
is telling.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			Her that he is a Mia, the one who
hears and what will see what?
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			Because when you see, when you
when you feel seen, when someone
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			witnesses what you are going
through, when they validate the
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			fact that they now a person, not
Allah, when a person validates the
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			fact that they believe you, that
they see you, that they order
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			space for you, it makes a
difference emotionally. So PhD in
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			women in the Quran,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			she said there are 26 different
women mentioned in the Quran, and
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			every single one of them is
addressed in a different way with
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			the emotional needs that she has.
The almost found out that
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			specifically recognizes the
different emotional needs of women
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:40
			in different stories of women in
the Quran. So how that will be
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			localized? She is talking about
her elephant. Was talking
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			addressing her emotional need of
being seen. He hears her, Samir,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			he heard and he saw, versus
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:56
			Maria Marla's mother. He is the
one who what Samir. He hears her
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			and what, because he
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:24
			knows the very next verse goes to
when she's finished, she gives
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:29
			birth, so please give the rest of
the story. She's lost her husband.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:29
			She's calling us
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			dedicated
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:36
			voices.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:48
			I She assumed it's
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			going to be a boy, because here
only men were allowed. There were
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			no women in fatal Moses. So she
had so
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			efficient giving her child the
dedication to Allah. Allah's gonna
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			make that child a boy. With
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:10
			her baby,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			she
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			wouldn't have the fear of losing
her child's mother had had a boy,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			she wouldn't have the fear of what
with her baby. Intentionally, each
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:24
			person
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			has a different role in a time
period where sometimes they don't
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			understand why they can set up she
gives birth, and when she gives
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			birth, she says over in me, did
you hear me saying in me? What in
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			me? Semi Toha, Maria, what in me?
What in me? What in me? Why?
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			Because scholars of tips here say
that she says in me and in me and
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			in me over and over. Because she
is in shock. She doesn't know how
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			to do
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:01
			what she's saying in me is and and
I, and I, and I, she is stuttering
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			over her words, and initially she
did not like the fact that she had
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			a girl. Initially she was unhappy
with the fact that she had a girl,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			not because girls are not amazing
and the last penalties bless her,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			with a beautiful, big girl, but
because she don't know what she's
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			gonna do. How's she gonna have her
baby going to be so milking
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:27
			her you guys. Thank you my throat,
thanks you
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:34
			okay. This is okay. All of you can
hear me. No, okay, so she's saying
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			this over and over and over and
over again. Now, when we talked
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			about how that will the Allah,
when Allah revealed the verse
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			about her, this surah,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:50
			over and over mentions what in
every single verse, many ideas.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			What is mentioned in every single
verse
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			is Allah.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			Allah, Allah name is mentioned in
every single verses. The only
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			surah in the entire Quran where
Allah's name is mentioned in every
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			single ayah. So the surah in which
he acknowledges someone going
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			through emotional pain and trying
to navigate what that's going to
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			look like for their future is the
one where Allah subhanahu mentions
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:19
			his name over and over. Why?
Because when you say someone's
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			name like this over and over. It's
a sign of your love for them, how
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			much they mean to you and how
great their name is. When the
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			mother of merimanah has calling
out, she's calling out to Allah.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:34
			She's saying the same word over
and over, acknowledging the Allah
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:38
			sees her and that he answers her,
and then she makes dua for her
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			daughter. Why? To show that she's
happy with the plan of Allah. She
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			loves her child. This is why she
makes dua. We're going to wrap up
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			so fast in chalk, because I know
all of your souls. I'm going to
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			speed through the story. When
marijuana his Salaam is raised
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			here. Zakiria salam was the person
who was chosen to watch after her.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			She was also his niece, and all of
his life he's making dua.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Out we are assuming making dua to
have a baby. Why do we assume
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:07
			that? Because at the end of when,
when he saw the end of his life in
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:12
			his 90s, he is making this job
like with such humility, he enters
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			upon Maryam. He sees that she has
fruit. He thinks maybe his wife
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			and him can have a baby out of
season, like the fruit is out of
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22
			season here. Imagine here, here,
Allah SWT here that they got
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:28
			fruit. Then he goes and he makes
for a baby. And that is when Allah
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:35
			says, hunale, Allah answered him
right there, that he sorry. He
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			made right there. And then the
angel, the verse says, angels. But
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			Angel, Jabil, Allah, His Salam is
so great that sometimes for
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:47
			something great, you use the call
so different scholars say Angel,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			Jibreel Islam, or the group of
angels. However, the point
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:56
			Zakaria Salam is making dua for so
many years. When you make dua and
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			you've been making dua for years
and years and years, and you
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			wonder, is this actually something
I should keep making dua for. Is
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			this something that's actually
good for me? Maybe Allah doesn't
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			want to give it to me. When I used
to make dua, this is what I would
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			do. I make a specific dua, and I
say, oh, Allah, please bless me
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			with Please give it to me. Please
give it to me this particular
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:18
			thing. And I'd say it out loud in
my heart, I would say, I know
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22
			Allah is not going to give this to
me because he wants to test me
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			with the opposite of what I want.
I would make the DAR Allah, Oh
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			Allah, give and in my heart, I
would say I know he's not going to
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:32
			answer, because he knows how Ali I
want it. And that moment of
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:38
			recognition that Allah is I am as
my servant thinks I am, he says I
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			am as my servant thinks I am. So
when we're praying to Him, and we
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			are in our hearts thinking, but
he's not even gonna respond. He's
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			not even gonna answer me. Why
would he? Subhanahu taala, of
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			course, he still can. He's so
generous that he would, you know,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			Ibn Al qawilah, he mentioned
something very powerful, that
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:58
			you're a sign, a sign that you
have more hope in your deeds than
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			in the Mercy of Allah. Is that
when you make a mistake, when you
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			commit a sin, or when you don't do
as much good as you should be
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:08
			doing, you think that Allah's
Mercy is closed for you, because
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			you are not thinking about Allah's
mercy. You're thinking you're not
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:14
			deserving of Allah's mercy because
your deeds are not enough, and so
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			you assume he's not going to
answer you that is hope in your
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:21
			own deeds. Allah's Mercy is so
much more vast. So when we talk
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			about the Mercy of Allah that
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			He answers your DUA, think about
zakiri. Are they his Salaam? How
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			many decades did he make dua for?
And yet Allah answered him in the
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			best time for him and the right
time for him to be the cousin of
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			Jesus, His Son. Yeah, he had to be
the cousin of Jesus when and they
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			weren't. They were. They supported
one another as they walked in this
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:45
			land, and they called people to
Allah. When we look at Maria
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			Marla, when Angel Jibreel came to
her and gave her the glad tidings,
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			he said, Do
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:55
			you know the aha balaki? It means
to give you the glad tidings. Aha
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			balaki, glad tidings. Was her
response, like Allahu Akbar, yay.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			Was she like Alhamdulillah,
chosen? She like the best news
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			ever. I can't wait to be a mom.
No, she was so tear scared. First
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:11
			of all, her entire worship, her
fasting, and her TOA and her like
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			salah, and all of those things
which she did here. In fact,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			there's a different different
narrations on when she came in and
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			she saw Jibreel and they hissed
up. Do you guys want to end? Is
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			there freezing? Do you want me to
just do a sentence?
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			Okay, okay, I'll talk faster. So
when
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32
			was there in his what was doing?
There's different narrations. When
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			was that? Okay? The point is that
she came back and she sees and she
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			sees a beautiful man. He's known
he was, he's described as a very
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			beautiful man. And she said, the
beautiful man in her room, and she
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48
			is a dadaya. Look. All that
worship and work led to her
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:53
			immediately saying, if you have
fear of Allah, then go back. Then
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:58
			what? Who does she call upon?
Remind him of a Rahman? Why? Why
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			not? Allah is the most merciful,
whatever your intentions were,
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			this is a moment that you can
repent. This is a moment that you
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			can come back to Allah. Don't do
whatever you're thinking about,
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			make repentance to Allah. So she
calls Andrew jabriel back to
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			Allah, and then says that he got
so scared, he was so like shocked
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			by her response that he
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:23
			said, help me. I forgot for a
second.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			You know what? No matter I'm just
here. I'm just a messenger. I'm
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			just a messenger. So the Angela
then gives her the glad tidings.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:37
			Her response is to be in shock.
How? How is this physically
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:42
			possible? No man has ever touched
her. And then Jibreel, his Salam,
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			of course, tells her whatever
Allah SWT can do. Now what I want
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			to focus on here is the fact that
Allah uses the word the aha
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			balaki, that this is a gift,
because to her, in that moment,
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			Allah could have described any
other response. He could have
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			described her. Maybe later on, she
said, Alhamdulillah. Maybe later
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			on, she was like, what?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			I'm so excited. Maybe she had
positive experience, moments or
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:07
			statements that she did say, none
of those are recorded in the
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			Quran. None of them are recorded
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			in
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			the Quran. Allah recorded her
emotional shock and pain and fear
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:19
			when Allah sent an angel to tell
her he's being given, she's being
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			given a gift in your life when
you're making Dora in your life in
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			general, there are going to be
times if something does not seem
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			like a gift. There was a dua I was
making for eight years. I was
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:34
			making this dua in sajda, in
Omaha, in Ramadan, when it was
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			raining, when I was sick, when I
was traveling, same door over and
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			over, open this door, open this
door, open this door. The exact
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			opposite kept happening. And this
was different from the other door.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			I just was over and over, the
exact opposite. Why? Why I'm
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			trying to understand the wisdom,
except it I believe, but like I'm
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:53
			trying to understand the wisdom.
Eight years later, I remember I
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			was in my room, and I got the
news, and the news that I was
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			looking for was the answer to the
door I had been making for eight
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:03
			years. And then it hit me, and I
remember, I just dove into sajda
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:08
			because the greatness of yes being
answered. But I suddenly realized
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:13
			all those closed doors pushed me
to be answered in the way that I
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			specifically needed, in a way that
I could not have dreamed of
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			asking. I couldn't have made dua
for the way that Allah SWT made it
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			happen for me? Had I even thought
to make dua for this week? We
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:27
			didn't exist it? He closed all
these doors for me to push me into
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			a specific way of answering this
dua in the best way and in the
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			best time, in the way that I
needed it most for my life. So
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:37
			when we're thinking about Allah
giving us gifts that sometimes
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			don't seem like a gift, sometimes
a hardship that you're going
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			through does not seem like a loss
does not seem like a gift, and it
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			doesn't mean that it's a gift that
you're like, you know, like great
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			news sometimes, but it means that
there's wisdom in it that
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			sometimes we may not be able to
understand. When Maria malaysalam
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			was giving birth, immediately it
jumps to her giving birth. What
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:59
			does she say? Is she like, I'm
gonna meet my baby? No, she's
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			saying, I wish I died before this.
Now, scholars mention different
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			reasons why, one of them being
because physically, when a woman
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			has birth, especially unmedicated,
extremely painful, she's on her
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			own. She's doing this as a young
woman. But also because she was
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:15
			the pillar. She was the image of
righteousness. And if the pillar
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			and the image of righteousness
could get pregnant by the view of
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			other people, then what does that
mean for all she represents of
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			piety. And so she was so scared of
what people are going to say about
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:28
			that as well, when she says, Yeah,
late, any mid to lahat ancia, that
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			she says that she wish she had
died before this and something
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:35
			forgotten. Allah subhana wa Taala
commands her to do something. He
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			commands her to shake the date
palm tree. Now you might have
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			heard that the reason for that is
because we have to do our part
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:46
			right. We have to make dua and do
our take action. We also do our
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			part, which is 100% true, but she
is literally giving birth. She is
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:53
			very much doing her part right in
that moment. Something fascinating
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			to think about is that
psychologists today, cognitive
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			behavioral therapists today, say
you cannot change your feelings.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			You want to feel better. Don't
think about changing your
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:06
			feelings. Focus on an action. Do
an action. The action will impact
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			your thoughts. The thoughts will
impact your feelings.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			Commands her to do an action, and
that action of shaking the date
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			palm tree does something else. In
Psychology Today, when someone is
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			having anxious, cyclical thoughts,
they tell him to do something to
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:26
			break the cycle. So Allah tells
her to an action. She focuses on
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			something else, and we don't know,
of course, Allah doesn't reveal in
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			the Quran what happened in her
thought process, but the Quran
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			stops talking about her thought
process because for a couple of
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39
			verses, that's the only focus. So
now the focus is, take this
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			action. Take a moment to rest and
to recover, and once you rest and
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47
			recover, do what go out with your
baby. Why does she go out with her
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			baby? Why didn't Allah reveal
zakiria alayhi salam to go out
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:55
			with the baby? Why was it Angel
Jibreel and his Salam order to go
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:59
			out with the baby? Why her every
single one of us is going to go
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			through this period that many
miles Salam went through, we're
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			gonna go through a time in our
life, or maybe we're going through
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			it right now, or maybe we've
already gone through something so
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:13
			painful. And in that time process,
we are going to question and we
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			are going to wonder, and we are
going to try our best to see the
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			wisdom of what Allah panchada has
decreed for us, and in that
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:24
			process, something that we often
do as just natural human beings,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:28
			is we step away, which we need to
do. We need to sometimes just step
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:32
			away and focus internally. That's
so critical. But at the same time,
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			when we're going through hardship,
we sometimes feel unworthy. We
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			sometimes feel like maybe this is
a test because I committed a sin.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			Maybe this is something that's
happening because Allah is
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			displeased with me. Maybe the
reason that this is not opening,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			this door is not opening, is
because Allah is not answering my
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			daughter. But why doesn't he want
to answer my daughter? Is it
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			because I was not sincere enough?
My first pregnancy, I lost my
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			baby, and I remember all of the
thoughts that I was having was was
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			it because I was not sincere
enough in my prayer? Was it
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			because I wasn't making.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			More more intentional dua. Was it
because I had done something
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:07
			without realizing it? Did I not
pray enough? Sunnah? Everything I
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			thought about was about my
worship, and it took some time for
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:15
			me to realize, why am I basing
this on my worship? Instead of
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:20
			realizing that Allah has a plan
that I cannot see, why don't I put
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			my trust in him, instead of
thinking that he's so angry with
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			me that he would punish me by
causing me to lose my first baby
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:30
			when I when I framed it in the
mother of Maryam alaihi salam, you
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			know the one verse that got me
through it with the mother of
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			Maryam alaihis Salam? Excuse me,
ha Musa alaihi salam. When she
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			loses her Musa alaihi salam, and
he leaves, right? He is promised
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			to go back to her. He has promised
to go back to her and in paradise
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			inshallah. All those, all those
who've lost someone Inshallah,
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:53
			they will be brought back in
paradise. But the point I'm trying
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:57
			to share is, for me, it became all
about what I'm doing wrong,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:02
			instead of focusing on how can I
use this moment to reconnect with
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:08
			Allah in a way that is through the
lens of intimate loss. When I made
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			that personal shift and I realized
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			wasallamus, every single one of
his children in his lifetime,
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:18
			except faulty radiAllahu anha, and
in his lifetime, on his deathbed,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:22
			he told her salawats That she is
going to die. He was not spared
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			the pain and the grief of losing
his last child in his life,
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:31
			sallAllahu, alaihi wasallam,
radiAllahu anha, that loss is one
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			that you can't feel unless you
lose and may Allah protect all of
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			your loved ones. May Allah protect
every single person that you love
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			and that I love, and may Allah
protect all of us and give us long
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			lines of health and energy and
worship for his sake. But if you
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:47
			have lost someone, you know how
hard it is, and you never get over
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			that. You never stop missing them.
It's just that the pain is not as
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:54
			shock as a knife stabbing you in
the heart. And when you go through
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			that process and realize that the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:01
			himself went through it over and
over and over and over again, it
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:05
			allows you to get to know Allah in
a depth that you may never have
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			experienced had Alhamdulillah,
everything been so easy at all
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			times. Why was the Prophet,
sallAllahu, that he was some so
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			relatable to every single one of
us? Why? Because he went through
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			the type of hardship that every
single different type of person
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			experiences in their lives. Every
time the Prophet saw them, wept
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			for his mother, sobbed for his
mother for decades after her
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:28
			death, decades he would sit and
weep at her grave to the point
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			that it's like a boiling kettle.
The sound of a boiling kettle,
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:35
			that amount of sobbing from the
Prophet, sallAllahu, sallam, that
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:39
			type of sobbing, you only know
that healing when you've gone
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			through that healing. So when we
go through that, and we remember
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			that the Prophet saws himself went
through that, when we make dua,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:49
			it's not about Oh ALLAH. Was it
because I wasn't sincere enough
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			when I was praying, or I didn't do
enough good deeds? It's Oh ALLAH.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			I trust you, and in my journey to
you, I'm going to try to do
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:01
			better. I'm going to try to read,
work on my heart. I'm going to try
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			to draw closer to you, but also
I'm not going to lose hope in you,
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09
			because when I make it about my
deeds instead of His mercy, when I
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:14
			make it about myself instead of
who he is, I then limit the
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			vastness of who Allah is. When he
answered zakiri alaihi salam in
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			his 90s, when he made Mariam
alaihi salam pregnant
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:24
			miraculously, and then what chose
her to go out to her people. Why?
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			Because, when you are going
through that hardship, sometimes
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:31
			all you want to do is lock
yourself in a room, but what you
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			need to do sometimes is, yes, do
that, do that, do that, and go
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37
			through therapy and seek support
and have self care time, all of
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:42
			that, but also it is still your
responsibility to go out and call
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:45
			people to Allah. And what that
might look like is simply being
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:49
			kind to family. What that might
look like is going to work and
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			showing up when you don't want to,
or coming to mesh Al Aqsa to find
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:56
			healing and to come back to him
and forgiveness. But the point is
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			that Miriam alaihi salam did not
have to go out. He could Allah.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			Could have chosen someone else
instead of her, but he chose her
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			to go out and go out with her baby
and stand in front of the people,
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:10
			despite all of the conversation
she had just been having about how
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			she feels about the whole
circumstance, her emotional state,
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:18
			she was still chosen. Every single
one of us is here for a reason. We
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:22
			are in Mishal, the place that all
of these companions came to and
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			they established a place of
learning and scholarship. And that
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:30
			loss for our civilization as an
ummah, that loss as we see, has
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			crippled us in every single way.
But, you know, there's a Mujaddid
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			that comes every 100 years, and
the women and the men that are
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			here right now, we are the
generation before the Mujaddid is
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:44
			supposed to come. We don't know
what we are going to witness in
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			our lifetime. May Allah increase
our lifespan and bless us with
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			many years of health to witness it
and to work for it. But we are the
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:54
			real we are part of setting up a
society in which that person will,
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			Inshallah, be ready to stand up
with the message and the people
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			that support them to it when we
look.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			Like we mentioned earlier, at the
people who came and changed the
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			change the way that people
interacted with one another, and
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12
			Allah, it was through their
knowledge of who he is. We come to
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			know him through our hardships,
and we come to have hope in Him
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18
			through our dua. So when you're
going to him, remember what
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:24
			zakiria alaihi salam did. He went
immediately and made dua. And what
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			did he do? He made dua like this.
We're gonna end with making dua
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			together Inshallah, because I want
you to feel how he made dua. So
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:37
			we're gonna Facebook like this.
Okay, so how did, how did he make
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:37
			dua?
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			It's an etiquette to Facebook,
good luck. It's an etiquette to
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			put your hands out.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			And we are going to call upon
Allah like we need him
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:55
			desperately. Ya Allah, Ya Rak
thank you for honoring us to be
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:59
			here in Masjid Al Aqsa Allah.
Thank you, Ya Allah, for choosing
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			us to come to Masjid Al Aqsa
Allah. Oh,
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:06
			Allah,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			Allah, we have all come here,
every single one of us, witnessing
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17
			that this place is a place that
you have chosen, witnessing ya,
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20
			Allah, that this place is a place
that you have made holy. Oh Allah,
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			as you honored your prophets with
being here, as you chose your
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			angels to be in this place. Oh
Allah, honor us with coming back
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:30
			over and over again. Allah,
forgive us in this moment and
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			bless every single person that we
love. Oh Allah, every single one
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36
			of us has needs of our hearts.
Allah, Ummah, this is amongst the
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:39
			last days of Ramadan, and we can
feel that there is a
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			moisture in the air, and if it's
going to rain, or if it's raining,
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			it's another time that you
answered. So Oh Allah, we come to
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:52
			you with every single need of our
hearts. And Allah, Ummah, if you
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:59
			do not answer us, who is going to
answer us? Allah, Ibn Allah, don't
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:03
			turn us away. Allah, don't turn us
away. If you turn us away, who's
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:07
			going to answer us? If you turn us
away, who is going to answer us?
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:12
			Allah, answer us. Allah, answer
us. Allah, you told us in your
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			book, and your word is the truth.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:19
			You told us, Ya Allah, make dua to
me, and I will respond. So we are
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:22
			here, ya Rabin and making dua to
you, and you promise to respond.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			Every single one of us have needs
of our hearts that only you know
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:31
			answer the needs of our hearts.
You are. You are the one here, and
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:36
			you know our futures answer us.
Because without you, there's
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			nowhere we can go. If you turn us
away, there is nowhere we can go.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			Please be pleased with us because
of the people that you love, Allah
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			you see our weakness. Allahumma in
front of you, we are nothing to
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			answer us. Answer us. Answer
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			us. He
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:02
			made talking about his state, his
physical state, that he had become
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06
			old, and he's become weak and he
felt frail. Talk to Allah about
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			your physical state, that if he
does not answer you, who is going
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			to answer you? If he doesn't
accept you, where are you going to
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:17
			go? Talk to him with desperation
and Allah SWT Promises, promises
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			that He will respond. It may be
exactly what you're asking for. It
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			may be in the Hereafter, it may be
better than what you're asking
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:26
			for, or he may avert something
from you that is going to be a
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29
			means of harm. But the point is,
he will always answer. So the
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			Prophet saw them, when the
Companions realized this, they
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			said that they want to make more
da, and he told them, make even
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38
			more da, because Allah SWT will
always answer you. He promises
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			that he listened. And when you
make to add to him, he loves to
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:45
			hear your voice. So call to him
and know that he loves when you
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			call SubhanAllah.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52
			Thank you for waiting through the
super cold a day that you have to
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			leave we're going to end unless
you have one question,
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			yes, a lot of the issues that you
talk to about
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			are issues that we face today in
terms of loss of life, losing a
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:07
			child, depression and anxiety, a
bit of an open ended question. But
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:10
			could you choose another kind of
issue that we face today and a
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			solution to it, just like
mentioned about anxiety,
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16
			depression, using a child and
coping mechanisms? Can you choose
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:19
			another issue that, especially the
face today and how we can, like,
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			have a solution can you give me an
example of one?
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			I don't know, maybe
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			higher divorce or anything like
that. You know, something that we
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:33
			face divorce? Yeah, something,
something along those lines of
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			higher divorces now that we see
that we didn't, maybe see poor an
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:39
			issue like that. It's very open
ended. I have to say, okay, so
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			you're but let me make sure I
understand the question, so, like,
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:46
			why is that happening? Or what is
the solution? The solution to it?
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			Okay, so that's like, such a broad
point. Thank you. I appreciate you
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			mentioning it. I keep it broad
because everyone is going through
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			something different, but when it
comes to something like a higher
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			divorce rate, I mean, something
like that would definitely need
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			the help of a psychologist and
therapists and researchers. We.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			I will say is that when I hear
people talking about this, I feel
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			like there's this, there's this
call that people say, like, oh,
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:08
			there's, you know, there's so much
happening. There's higher divorce
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			because people are not as
connected to Allah or something
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			like that. And I just think
really, when we look at the time
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			of the companions, they would get
divorced and remarried and
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			divorced and remarried, or widowed
and remarried and widowed and
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			remarried. It's very different
from the way that we see it in
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:23
			culture today. And so in something
like this, I think even changing
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			the way we talk about it, if
people are getting divorced at
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:28
			higher rates, it's not necessarily
because they are not trying.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31
			Perhaps it's because in the
beginning they were never meant.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			They were never compatible in the
first place, and maybe their
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			families pushed them to get
married. Or maybe, maybe they
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			never asked all those premarital
questions that they should have
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:40
			asked, like there are strategic
things our community can do to
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:43
			support premarital counseling or
helping people get to know one
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			another without saying you can
only talk three times, then you
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			have to get married, or, in fact,
you're gonna see each other on
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			your wedding day. Actually, no
people have seen each other on
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:52
			their wedding they get married. So
like, those are contributing
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:55
			factors to divorce. Many people
used to still stay married, even
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			if they hated each other, like
that was just part of the culture.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			But now I think things are
changing. So that's a great
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			question. I don't know if I'm the
best person to answer it. I'll
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:06
			just say those are some like the
thoughts I have when I hear people
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			like talk about it. I'm sorry that
I didn't help with that. Super
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			open ended. Yeah, that was your
phone number. Does
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:16
			anyone have another question or
one make a point about this point?
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:16
			May
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22
			Allah bless you all it was such an
honor to be in Aksa with you. May
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			Allah tell the Reach for return us
over and over again together over
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:27
			and over again. And may Allah
bless bless shazaid and alburu and
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			all of you who've been working in
doing so much. It was such a gift
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			to be with you in the last 10
night time to do that. Abu Dhabi,
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			please forgive me for my
shortcomings, and if you have any,
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:38
			I would love to stay connected
with you guys. You can message me
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			anytime on Instagram at the Miriam
Amir. Don't message me on Tiktok,
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:43
			because I don't get messages, but
I would love to message with you.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:46
			So please stay in touch. I would
love to stay connected. Inshallah,
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			barnacla, if you come, thank you
so much, the more they go. Thanks.
