			Salam O Allah.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			Muhammad Rasul. Allah, Allah He
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			doesn't even consider and kafir
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:20
			from abajo by the Brahmin sisters, I want to say to you, let us live in fit, not in fear.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:41
			I quote from a wonderful piece by Ted bar, who is a writer and editor for White White Rock locators.
He says, For a small amount of perfect for a small amount of perspective at this moment. Imagine
that you are born in 1900.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:53
			If you were born in 1900, on your 40th birthday, World War One starts and ends on your 18th
birthday.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			22 million people perish that.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:03
			Later in the year, the Spanish flu epidemic hits the plant
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			and runs until your 20th birthday.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:20
			50 million people die from it in those two years. 50 million in two years. We're not talking about
positive case report about deaths.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			On 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:35
			Unemployment hits 25%. The world GDP drops 27%.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			that runs until you are 33 years old.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			The country, the United States nearly collapses along with the world economy.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:02:02
			When you turn 39 World War Two starts and you aren't even over the hill yet. And don't try to catch
your breath. On your 41st birthday. The United States is fully pulled into World War Two.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:11
			Between your 39 and 45th birthday. 75 million people perished in that one.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:23
			smallpox was epidemic until you were in your 40s and it killed 300 million people during your
lifetime.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:30
			At 50 the Korean war starts. 5 million people perish
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:40
			from your birth until you were 55. You dealt with a fear of polio epidemics every summer.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:48
			You experienced family and friends contracting polio and being paralyzed or dying.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:59
			At 55. The Vietnam War begins and doesn't end for 20 years. 4 million people perished in that
conflict.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:07
			During the Cold War. You live every day with the fear of nuclear annihilation.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:17
			On your 62nd birthday. You have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			life on our planet, as we know it almost ended.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:44
			When you turn 75 the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet Born in 1900. How did
they endure all have that perspective is an amazing art, refine and enlightening as time goes by.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			Let us try and keep things in perspective.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:55
			Your parents and our grandparents were called to endure all of the above.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:01
			While you are called to stay home and sit on your couch.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			Watch the difficulty.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:27
			Now let me add my own foot or to this. If you have been born in 1900 when they introduced
conscription for World War One World War Two and the Vietnam War, you could have been conscripted
and become a statistic. Or maybe not even that, because not everyone lost was counted or no.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			Or you could have returned in a wheelchair or worse.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			Ditto for Spanish flu and polio.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:44
			I should mention malaria because many of us come from those places where that was the primary
killer.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			You're worried about jobs today. Think of the Great Depression.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			an entire generation perished and an entire way of life was lost. And there were no welfare checks.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			job loss compensation.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:07
			My brothers and sisters, today we are living through a unique period of history.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:42
			We do not choose to live in historically significant times, we would have lived perfectly
unremarkable lives mundane feature less and just plain dumb, but allows you to handle data and his
wisdom and mercy chose for us to live through a period of human history that has already changed the
world. And all those who live in it, and will be a watershed in the annals of the history of the
world to be remembered, lamented on our but never forgotten.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:06:04
			This year 2020 and 2090 are written in history. When people read history ages to come and ask, Who
were the people who lived those times. It is your name and my name which will be record.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:19
			It is our lives that they will speak about. It is from us that they will draw lessons for their own
lives. Just as today, we look to significant periods in history, to give us perspective
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:48
			that has thank Allah subhanho data that he granted us this blessing of living in such times and ask
him for the strength to do it with honor and dignity and grace with kindness and compassion with
wisdom and sagacity. So that we live we and our lives would be good examples for people to learn
what to do, and not what not to do.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:11
			There are see what Allah Subhana Allah says, about seeking refuge in times of stress and fear. To
seek refuge, we must know two things, the strength of the one who we seek refuge with, and whether
that great one is interested in us.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:42
			If the one we seek refuge with is weak, he cannot save us. And if he is not interested in us, He
will not save us. So we need assurance on both battles. Unless your panel reminded us about who he
is. His power, His glory, his strength. And he said, How do we learn even a shape on Friday? We'll
listen up on some hour to an hour Buffy said that.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			Song da da lash yada.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			Um, I mean, what am I zero minutes
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:06
			Goofy, what Who am I? My ama boom, boom. Well, law will be matava who knows we
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:32
			lost around a data set which means he is the one who created the heavens and the earth in six eons
and is established on his throne on the ash. He knows all that enters the earth. And all that comes
out of it. As well as all does descends from the skies, and all that sense to them.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:42
			And he is with you, wherever you may be at Allah sees all that you do.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			It is essential that we read the four iron
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:06
			that when we read the Quran, it is essential to allow the words to sink into the deepest recesses of
our hearts and allow them to illuminate that space and drive out the darkness of doubt and fear and
depression and anxiety and grief.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:47
			Just as light and darkness are mutually exclusive. So are the new have the knowledge their fan of
Allah subhanho wa Taala and all negativity. Darkness is the name for the absence of light. So also
depression, anxiety, stress and fear are the names for the absence of faith, absence of the ban and
absence of your key. The two cannot exist together in the same heart. The presence of one is the
sign of the absence of the other. Let us check what is in our heart.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:59
			Let us work on lighting the lamp of the nurofen Nasr panel that by recognizing his science in the
creation around us and in his column
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:27
			ensure that our hearts are alive by checking to see if they respond to it. And lots of handle that
identified the reaction of our hearts as a metric to judge the health of our faith, unless Ronald
does it, in moon under Nina De Luca la vie de la Kuru home way that to Leah de la vida.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			To me,
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			while I have been
		
00:10:32 --> 00:11:02
			through a lot of antennas and said as well and five, which means the believers are only those who
and Allah subhanho wa Taala is measured, their heart Shiva, with his all and majesty and glory. And
when is is the four R's are recited unto them. They these if increase their faith, and these people
put their trust in the rupture letter.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:21
			My brother and sister, they remind you of myself, it is not how much Koran we know how much we study
how much or how we decided, but what it does to us, that is the measure of our event and a cure for
our stress.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:31
			As we listen to the Quran, or recite, let us stop from time to time and ask, what is this is doing?
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:39
			is it doing anything at all? What does that mean in terms of my faith in terms of my humanity?
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			There is as this question
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:53
			asked a lot of adults to fill your hearts with his glory and majesty which will automatically drive
out every fear and anxiety.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:18
			Ask what is happening to me when I hear this if is anything happening or not. Remember what Allah
subhanaw taala said about what must happen is that happening, if it is May Allah grant you
steadfastness and increase your yucky If not, what do you plan to do about that?
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:30
			This is more important than life and death is not a life or death matter. It is even more important
that that unless you I know that I said I repeat this I have super heavy who are lovely
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			to visit 30 a year I mean, Tomas de la la
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			ya la Mama.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:40
			Mama
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:46
			Mama yaku ma, ma, ma, ma ma,
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:52
			ma, ma ma, ma, ma ma, ma ma ma
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:02
			another aka said and I repeat this I wonder the universe of our world OPC DA
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:08
			DA
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			DA DA DA DA Maya for you mean
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:26
			the Dominus Eva my goofy. Whoa Omar Kumar. univa. Tone will be ma ma una voz de
		
00:13:28 --> 00:14:00
			it means, as I mentioned before, Allah said He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six
irons, and is established on the throne. He knows all that enters the earth and all that comes out
of it. As well as all that descends from the skies, and all that sense to them. He is with you,
wherever you are, wherever you may be, and unless Raritan a sees all that you do.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:06
			Now brothers and sisters, Allah subhanho wa Taala told us three things in this ayah
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:58
			number one, he said, Allah is the one who created everything that exists. The bigger the small, the
powerful and the powerless, the beneficial and the harmful, what we can see and what we cannot see,
what we know and what we do not know the perceivable and and unperceivable everything created by
Allah subhanho wa Taala alone. Number two, that he knows general General, whatever happens in his
creation, 24 seven real time as it is happening. He knows all that enters the earth and all that
comes out of it. He knows all that deserves from the skies and all that assumption to them. He knows
because he is the one by whose order it all happens. Third thing he said that he is with you
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			wherever you
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			Maybe
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			Allah subhanaw taala sees all that you do.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:30
			There are three bases these days, these things are the three bases of our comfort, number one, that
he is the one who made everything. Number two, he knows what is happening to him all the time. And
number three, he is with us. And he's seeing us. What more can we ask? The question to ask
ourselves, however, is, how much of this do we know?
		
00:15:32 --> 00:16:06
			I do not mean intellectually, I mean, viscerally deep inside us with total certainty, which is
reflected in our lives, not just believe alone, but true knowledge, that Allah is the one who
created everything, that Allah is in control of everything, that he knows what is happening to it
all the time, that he is making it happen, and that he is with me, he is with you, wherever I might
be, whatever the situation, whatever the difficulty, whatever the is, Allah is with me and ally
seeing me, as I have
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:29
			the knowledge of who Allah is and what he can do. Does it comfort us? We know the eye, but do but
do. Does the eye have any effect on us? The key is that all this will happen only if you spend time
to reflect and work on our relationship with
		
00:16:31 --> 00:17:09
			the only relationship that is primordial and eternal. The only relationship that does not end with
death. The only relationship with entitles us to His mercy and forgiveness. The relationship we have
thanks to his messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in hos oma Allah subhana wa tada in his
infinite mercy and wisdom, decided to create us and with whose followership he blessed us the the
the the value of being an oma to Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam is something that you and I are going to
see when we meet Allah Subhana.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:18
			Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed us with thee with being the rheumatism of
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:26
			Mohammed Salah Salim is the one who spot is a template for us to follow to become otaku.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:47
			Knowing almost ran out that knowing our relationship with Allah, knowing that Allah is with us,
wherever we may be, has two major benefits. Number one, it is a shield against sin and disobedience.
And number two, it's a source of comfort and confidence.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			It's a shield, because the world knows
		
00:17:52 --> 00:18:05
			and feels his presence in his life cannot disobey, he can never look at or listen to or eat or drink
or earn or spend or speak or act in a way that Allah subhana wa Tada.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:31
			His constant focus will be on pleasing a lot of animals alone, whose presence he or she is aware of.
That is the essence of taqwa. That is the definition of it is for the modality that Allah Subhana
Allah promised, but why yet Attila JAL Masada Zhu min a lie. Well, Maria tawakkol Allah here
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:38
			in Allahabad, ambree, Khadija, Allah Allah who will equally shade
		
00:18:40 --> 00:19:18
			unless there is a lot to agree, and whosoever has Taekwondo manual, then he Allah, Allah who will
make a way out for him to get out of every difficult and he Jelena would provide him from sources he
could never imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah subhanho data, then he Allah subhanho wa
Taala will be sufficient for that person. Verily, Allah Subhana Allah will accomplish His purpose.
Indeed, Allah Subhana Allah has set a measure for all things.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:59
			Rather than sisters. taqwa is the root of all goodness, that is reflected in our actions. That was
not what we know. But what we do. That's why is the best resource the greatest wealth. That's why is
the result. When we know that Allah subhanho wa Taala is the creator the door that he is with us
wherever we may be. That's why we'll ensure that all our difficulties are solved and that we are
provided from sources we could not have imagined. That is what we must work on, to become upon. It
is those who Allah subhanho wa Taala addressed and he asked
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			la sala because in
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:10
			what you have before Naga Bella Lena when dooney woman you believe in love from Allah whom?
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:48
			Allah subhanaw taala said, is Allah not sufficient for a slave? And yet they try to frighten you
with those imaginary things they worship besides a lot of annata but he whom Allah leaves to go
astray, can never find any guide. My brother, sister, the asker myself, is Allah enough for us? What
do you think? Who then are we afraid of? What then are we afraid of? We know allies with us. We know
that to him is our turn. We know that He is the Most Merciful, most forgiving.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:21:05
			My brothers and sisters, let us live as those who know Allah, recognize a lot. have a relationship
with Allah and look forward to meeting with Allah Subhana Allah and have total faith and trust in
Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:23
			that is live as a true followers of Muhammad Rasul Allah is Allah Allah you it was that was said, By
Whose name by association with whose name as the mouthpiece of Amazon center, we will be called
forth on the day of gentlemen to stand before us.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:41
			Let us live as role models for others, showing them how to live with dignity and grace with
compassion and courage, with fortitude and strength in times of hardship and danger. Let us use
these times to get closer to Allah
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:48
			and to increase our reliance on him. Let us deal with faith. Not fear
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			number as long
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:57
			as he
		
00:21:59 --> 00:21:59
			was
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			he was abused me.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:04
			Me
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:06
			Me
