So hello lovey, I recited the surah because of the hadith of Nabi SallAllahu Sallam who said that the one who recites the Surah In the night before going to bed Allah subhanaw taala will protect him from poverty.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala for that for ourselves and for our families and all the Muslims Charla
today the session inshallah is on the question of risk, and I have titled it I've said ordained or obtained, because this is the
this is the constant dilemma and people always try to
get confused, whether risk is something which is ordinary, is it written or is it something which is obtained that means, I will get as much as I work for if I work hard, I get more money, if I work less hard, I get less or what is it and inshallah today and tomorrow, and depending on how we go, maybe also next week, we will complete the session. And we will look at all the different questions with regard to risk, along with the denial from the Quran and the Sunnah. In this context, this is a very, very important question, because this question is probably the single biggest source of confusion. And also it is the single biggest reason why
if Allah does not protect us, then we
take off at least on the road towards the hellfire, because it's only for the issue of risk that people indulge in Haram. Major, major reason why people indulge in Haram is for the sake of risk. And they will say, Well, if unless I take an interest based loan, how can I how can I run my business? And unless I do this or that which is just private? How can I survive? And what will happen to me and my family, and so on and so on all sorts of confusion because of risk. The other thing is also risk is
the single biggest source of stress and personal worry and anxiety with regard to people, what will happen to me what will happen to my family, and so on and so forth. And when we say what will happen, may Allah forgive us? None of us is asking this question with regard to the ACA, really speaking seriously, we should be asking this question and saying, what will happen to me meaning what will happen to me on the day of judgment? What will happen to me when I die? What state will I die in? Will I die in a state of Islam? Or will I die in a state outside of Islam? May Allah protect us? When we say what will happen to my family after me? What is the question? What really is the
question we should be asking? We should be asking the question that the Gambia asked in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned this question where thou that I Salam called, is called his,
his his children. And they asked this question, the MB asked this question to the children. And they said, What will you do after me? What was it? What were they talking about? Were they saying What will you do to my business after me? What was the business of the Gambia? The business of the Gambia was was the data of Islam was Tao of Deen, what will you do? And they said, We will follow the rub of your follow, you're robbing Rob of your father's which is Allah subhanaw taala. So when we say that what will happen to me? This thing has changed. Look at.
Okay, so if you say what will happen to me? And what will happen to my family, then we must be really the real question to ask is what will happen to me and my family with regard to my akhira and with regard to the day of judgment, but so Allah may Allah protect us? When we ask this question, we are really talking about this dunya what will happen to me and my family after I'm dead? Will they stop? Will they what will happen to them, and this is the source of a great deal of anxiety and also the reason why we fall into wrong we go we do wrong things. We pursue wrong kinds of businesses, we do wrong sorts of wrong may take wrong decisions with regard to our family, friends, and so on and
so forth. And that is the reason why it's very important for us to be clear in our minds about the reality of this whole business of risk and inshallah that is what we will attempt to do in these sessions. Today, tomorrow and perhaps next week.
Now, what is this?
This is a very important thing to understand.
Sometimes people feel that risk is money risk is job.
Risk is an all encompassing word that takes into account everything that we need in order to exist in this world.
So
Risk is money risk is for discuss time knowledge, health, energy, beauty strength, spouses, children, movable immovable property power, influence authority, every kind of resource that we can imagine in order to survive and in order to develop and in order to live in the world, to all of that is risk. So risk is not only risk is time. That is because free time.
So risk is not only money is the risk is all of these things, and that's why it's very important for us to keep that in mind. When we are talking about this. We're not just talking about money. Now, risk is one of the five questions that will be asked on the day of judgment. And we know this hadith and I have mentioned this to you when we were doing the series on death and hereafter on the Day of Judgment, where Nabi SallAllahu sallam said the hadith is reported in Tirmidhi. He said the son of Adam Alayhis Salam will not pass away from Allah, meaning he will not be able to move from the Biden our hasher until he is asked about five things until He answers five questions. One, how did he live
his life? What did he do with the time that was allotted to him? To in that time? How did he utilize his youth? How did he utilize his his strength and his power as a youth? Three with what means? did he earn his wealth? Where did he get his money from? Number four? How did he spend his wealth? Where it ready on Add from? And where did he where and how did he spend it? And the last one is what did he do with his knowledge? Now if we look at these five questions, so Allah, we can see that all five of them have to do with only one thing and that is risk. All of this is risk, your time is risk, your youth and your health and your energy and your power and so on. So what is risk?
Wealth is risk. So where did you earn it from? And where did you spend it is a question about risk. Knowledge is risk. And therefore, we're talking about how did what did you do with the knowledge whatever knowledge analyst Rantala gave you what to do with the knowledge? Did you practice this knowledge? Did you use this knowledge in beneficial ways? Or did you? Did you not not use this knowledge? Or did you use the knowledge in harmful ways? All of these questions have to do with risk. And therefore it is very important for us to understand how important this whole question of risk is. All the five questions with regard to the Day of Judgment have to do only with one thing,
and that is risk.
And that's why it's very important for us to keep that in mind.
Now, the six important matters, and in this series of lectures between today tomorrow, and perhaps next week, we will do with will deal with all of these six. So this is just a list of what the six are, number one,
that all risk is pre ordained in terms of its quantity. And Allah subhanaw taala has taken its responsibility himself. So this is one of the questions that we will look at and we'll see the Lyle house, is this correct? How is it correct? What is the proof of this? Number two, that we have a choice only in terms of sources, which we choose to obtain it from and where we choose to spend it. And so therefore, that is the second question. And if you look at the dial for that, number three, that shaitan will try to frighten us with poverty while Allah subhanaw taala comforts us with His power, and that shaitan has no power over the believer and seeks the believer who seeks protection
from Allah.
Number four, that sustenance which is risk, both in its plenty as well as in its shortage are tests. Poverty is a test and wealth is also a test. Number five, what should you do? What action should you take in case of difficulties with respect to risk? If you're having any problem with respect to risk, then what should you do? Inshallah, we'll look at that. And number six, the reason why we still need to work and do the best we can while we live in the world. Because if one question obviously is that if Allah subhanaw taala has taken the responsibility of risk on himself, then why should I work? And we'll see why we should work or whether we should not work. Let's see what comes
out of that and we'll see Inshallah, the proofs of that. So the first one,
the quantity of risk is pre ordained, and Allah Jalla Jalla, Allah who has taken that responsibility on himself.
Allah subhanaw taala I want to begin with his beautiful ayat of surah Al Imran, when Allah subhanaw taala is one of the many ayat of what I call the self introduction of Allah subhanaw taala Allah, Allah introduced himself, who he is what he is, what is his power and here

and Zara LeBron says, say Oh, Mohamed Salah Salem, Oh Allah, possessor of the kingdom. You give Malika Mulk he is the Malik. He is the Malik. He is the he's the Maliki's the Malik. He's the owner. He's the king. And he's the real king doll. Hola. Hola. Malik hula Kula Illa Illa Hora Bhullar shell Karim, Allah Serrano done a Zed Who is Allah, that Allah whole molecule Mulk

He will give the kingdom to whom you will do the ELMO come on Tasha Wattens y'all coming month Tasha and you take the kingdom from whomever you will see this thing we look at today, we are literally looking at a time we are living at a time when kingdoms are being dispersed. We call it Arab Spring. And we call it this and we call it that. And we see these kingdoms are being dispersed kingdoms are being given and they're being taken away. So that this is the beauty of somebody as Muslims if we read the Quran, and if we understand the Quran, and we live with the realization of Allah subhanaw taala, then we see with the eyes of knowledge, and we see with the eyes of your birth, you don't see
the world like anybody else. You see the world with the knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala and therefore you say when things are happening, you don't say this happened that happened, what will happen political instability, blah, blah, blah.
This is total model Carmen, Tasha waternsw You will model kami man, Tasha will thank you I know that he has ordered that we live in a time when we can actually see this happening. How many people have seen this happening? How many generations passed away but there was nothing happening, things were going on 200 years of British rule.
There was no disbursement of kingdoms. One thing happened, so two generations, three generations, four generations, they just passed and they never saw these these, what this ayat is talking about, they never saw it with themselves by themselves. Allah subhanaw taala is, is kept us in a in a time when we are actually seeing this happening.
To tell Malcolm and Tasha waternsw, you will mold coming months, kingdoms are being given kingdoms are being taken away.
And think also that no, none of those whose kingdoms were taken away and given to others, none of them expected that kingdom to go.
It was no Barak expect His kingdom to
determine we expect His kingdom to go.
Did Gaddafi expect His kingdom to go? Nobody? Nobody, nobody. So what is the lesson for us? We also seem to live in a state where we expect that nothing will happen to us that what Allah has given me is mine forever and ever.
He must think that if Egypt was not Hosni Mubarak forever and ever then even whatever I have in my life is not mine forever and ever. It is with me and it will remain with me how long? Only as long as the real owner
wants to keep it with me.
This life is an Amana
it's not ours to do with as we please this live is an Amana. It has been given in Amana to us, whether it is small, whether it is large, whether it is one house, one family, whether it is a whole community, whether it's the whole country, whether it's the whole world, it is an Amana
the ownership has not been transferred,
ownership has not been transferred. Allah subhanaw taala did not
He was assigned registration D to say no, this belongs to you. You are now the rub of this

Allah subhanaw taala gives to whom He wills, and he takes it away from whom He wills.
There are some of us who have lived long enough to actually see the Soviet Union at the peak of its power, and will still continue to live and we live today, when we see we actually saw when Gorbachev came and Soviet Union actually breaking up into pieces. Yes. Do you recall that the days of Soviet Union's power? What was Soviet Union at that time? And we have lived long enough to see Allah subhanaw taala showed us the Soviet Union breaking up into pieces.
Did we ever think socially? Did we ever think that Russia would break up that the Soviet Union would break up?
This is the reality. Nothing new happens in the world we were talking about in the morning we walked
during our walk, say that I was saying nothing new. The same things happen. Human beings don't seem to learn the same things over and over and over and over and over and over.
No one expects ZyWall to come in his life. No one expects decline to come in his affairs, even though even though he or she sees ZyWall and sees decline coming in the lives of everyone before them.
We have seen our fathers and our grandfathers in the peak of their strength.
And then we saw them we buried them because they died.
What happened to their strength?
So why do we imagine that our strength will last forever.
It will not it will not last forever. Our strength will also go
and those of us like me who have lived long enough to seeing the signs of that happening. You're seeing the signs of it happening 100 People are
starting to regret Allah subhanaw taala takes from men from one side and gives to another side.
So today if you cannot jump down from a 12 foot, balcony and live to tell the tale, Allah subhanaw taala has given you the wisdom to know that there is a stairway somewhere you don't need to jump
there are ways to think so when we read the Quran, when we understand the Quran, think about it, look around ourselves and increase our Eman. So he says Oh Allah, possessor of the kingdom, the real owner of the kingdom, you give the kingdom to whom you will and you take the kingdom away from whom you will and you give honor and do with honor whom you will and you humiliate whom you will so Allah how many examples of this
how many examples of this
Ibra table or a table that May Allah protect us from this.
Hosni Mubarak
seeing the picture of Hosni Mubarak, literally in a cage. Remember the picture was so high like anyway
absolute ruler of Egypt
and Allah subhanaw taala does not need to take away the kingdom and put you in a cage to humiliate you.
Allah subhanaw taala showed us the humiliation humiliation of Bill Clinton while he was still in the White House
last short as the humiliation of George Bush while he was still in the White House.
The shadow of Allah Subhana Allah subhanaw taala can give his and he can give Zilla as he wishes
Allah that's why it's very important for us to understand the
the the the pictures of
prestige and power and honor and glory and the pictures of humiliation that we associate in our minds. These are not indicators of either
is that Cashcall Heather Shukla is a keyholder sacrilege Zilla ke Shukla is Zilla the shackle mini
for us, for example, the the picture or the shackle or the the framework of ZiL that of humiliation and degradation is a prison.
But Allah subhanaw taala kept his Nabil Yusuf Ali Salam in the prison, and he glorified him in the prison and he gave him know what's in the prison
and it took him out of his prison.
Even before that,
what can be more humiliating and powerless
than being thrown into a well as a little child?
totally helpless this
Allah subhanaw taala short, that the shackle the framework.
The picture of helplessness is not helplessness, the picture of humiliation is not humiliation. And at the same time Allah subhanaw taala showed us the picture of power and glory and majesty of the world
of Ramses the fourth, the pharaoh of Musa alayhis salam.
And then Allah subhanaw taala, humiliated him
and then showed us so many other signs of the pharaohs, the grounds of later ages. And Allah subhanaw taala showed us what happened with them

To lead you Leila Finn to lead your na Rafi Lael, rato hurry you will hire me to hurry y'all my terminal Hey, water Obon Dasha will be ready he's up and you will give this to whoever you want without accounting.
This refers to getting the risk in terms of quantity without accounting theories and inshallah it also refers to be to not being questioned about that risk on the Day of Judgment. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to put us among those who will not be questioned about anything on the Day of Judgment among those people who nobody Salah salem said there will be 70,000 of the the Hadees of Nabi SallAllahu Sallam and the Sahaba Rizwan. Allah here
is beautiful Hadees which we have heard so many times when Zella Monday announced and he said that there will be 70,000 of my people have by OMA who will be entered into Jana without his app.
And one of the cyber stood up and he said jasola Make dua that I am one of them. He said you are one of them.
People took advantage. They took advantage of the opposition. Another person stood up he asked Allah make the dua for me also, as well as
the one who asked before it's gone before.
Then they asked him, they asked him Salallahu Alaihe Salam they said who will these people be, who will be questioned or who will will not be questioned and who will enter the Jannah we already he served without his app, he said they will be almost our kiln. They will be the people who will make our Quran Allah they will rely only on Allah.
And he said they will be the people who will not use Tao is who will not use any amulets and any Tao is art and all of these things specifically does. He said there will be people who will not use these things
will make talking about Allah. Allah, Allah Allah Allah
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us some of them with our cologne.
We ask Allah this deen is simple design is beautiful is very simple. Don't complicate it for yourself unnecessarily. Allah subhanaw taala said although only yesterday bloco asked me I will give you so ask Allah take it. Why do you need anything else? For what?
The people who have made these things into a source of income for themselves? They are the ones who sell all these diaries that this or that they will say, there is this gene on you Well, maybe he knows because he must be relatively who's on you.
However, hotel Avenue
is bad luck is happening to you. So we'll come to you and we take away your bad luck. And of course, you know, after that, I will not ask you for any money, no, no, no money and all that. But then if you insist on giving me something but I can't help it, you know, he insisted.
In
Shame, shame, shame, vague, this deed into a soul into us in into something which is for sale.
No, deed is not for sale.
Let us be very, very clear in our minds. Ask Allah and Allah will give.
Now think about desire,
why is Allah subhanaw taala in this ayah Why is Allah subhanaw taala talking about giving kingdoms and taking away kingdoms and the day and the night and death and life
and in the end Allah's Ramadan shall be ready.
Why?
Because feeding us is peanuts
what is feeding us?
Right, feeding us
feeding other peanuts.
Allah is mentioned his power. And mentioned before he talked about feeding us so that we understand that this is the rub, swallow? I mean, why do we need for Allah subhanaw taala to reassure us.
But we are humans, we are weak. So we need the reassurance Ramlila. But think about desires rather than saying, Look, you know what? I am the one who does this. I can take away kingdom and I can give a keynote what a human. You're worried why you're worried? Why are you worried
I can take a whole kingdom and I can give a whole kingdom.
I can take up something which is dead and bring it back to life. And I can take something which is at the peak of its strength, and I can finish it.
So why do you worry for whatever it
Allah Swatara is showing us his power and it's showing us his glory.
And he's reminding us that for us, to feed us is something which is
not just if I say it is not difficult for him, it is like
it's too much of a statement. I mean, you know, not difficult to rattle. It's not even a consideration.
Not even a consideration.
That's why you know, I like wildlife. And I like to go to Africa again and again and again and take photographs of all these wildlife of the animals. Now I like to read about them.
African elephant on the on an average, eats about seven to 800 kilograms of green stuff per day.
Almost three, three quarters of a ton of green stuff per day.
And I've never found a teen Elephant.
Elephant on a diet.
Elephants look good only when they're fat.
And that's only one. That's only one
a blue whale eats the equivalent of four African elephants a day
in terms of food,
and that it eats in the form of microscopic stuff kill.
Imagine the number of
supposing you were born a crit.
You wouldn't live very long if the blue is around. Yeah.
But clearly five years can you imagine that? The lifespan of our Antarctic krill is five years something which is one gram in which
as long as as long as it keeps clear of blue as it lasts five years. That's a long life five years to live in the open ocean.
Who's sustaining it?
It is literally I mean, so Hala. Sometimes I feel it was run around the streets.
Dancing views a wise man dancing with a tower origins because Allah
Because of Allah
because of Allah because it's not about Allah.
This is Allah.
This is why I say we don't worship rocks and then
install is an idea and ideas and ideas and body parts of imaginary creatures.
We worship Allah
subhanho wa Taala
you worship Allah subhanaw taala
you worship Allah subhanaw taala, who's real?
And who created everything that we know and everything we don't know.
I was watching a video of how the Hubble telescope
and they pointed the Hubble telescope at what they call nothing
and left it on for 21 days.
And you will see that video I can't even describe to you what what that is.
And that is one small piece of the observable universe that we know.
In that one film, they have literally filmed
billions, not millions, billions of galaxies.
And which is the galaxy, our whole Milky Way galaxy is one galaxy.
In which solar systems like ours, there are uncounted numbers.
And such galaxies, they're they're filled billions in that one shot.
So who are we and where are we?
That's why I say rejoice, that we are people about whom the creator of all of this cares enough to send his dubby and cares enough to send his column and cares enough to
allow us to worship Him and to allow us to take his name and to allow us to recite his column.
Just a thought alone, just a thought alone.
Sometimes people ask is why did why does Allah
care about human beings?
Command says I have no idea why he cares about them and I'm very glad he does.
Thank Allah thank Allah subhanho wa Taala it's time for another episode we'll take a break and inshallah we'll come back after maghrib was Allah Allah Allah Allah Nabil Karim Allah He was a big mind. Brahma tugadh Amara, amen.
