My brothers and

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

sisters, the topic of my today

00:00:22 --> 00:00:22

is

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

sadness.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

I wanted to begin this with the

00:00:38 --> 00:00:38

ayah.

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

And recited that as the first ayat in

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

the first of,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:02

of.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

So Insha Allah,

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

The word

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

means sadness,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

regret, sadness.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:20

And,

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

in the Qayb, he

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

says, hosun is haram in Islam.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

And he says, this is haram because the

00:01:30 --> 00:01:30

word

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

in the Quran

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

does not appear except in the form of

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

forbidding it.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

So Allah said,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

Allah negates it.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

So

00:01:52 --> 00:01:52

in

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

the

00:01:55 --> 00:01:55

said

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

to

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

he

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

said to his

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

friend, his companion,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

in the cave.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

Do not be sad. Allah is with us.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:11

Right?

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

The I which I recited, Allah

00:02:15 --> 00:02:15

said,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

those are the people

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

So these are the 2 conditions.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:23

We accept

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

We have accepted Allah

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

as our

00:02:42 --> 00:02:42

So

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

actions which take us towards the.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

This is the is

00:02:49 --> 00:02:49

the.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

So for them,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

Allah

00:02:53 --> 00:02:53

said

00:02:55 --> 00:02:55

There is no

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

fear for them and there is no sadness

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

for them. Now fear is with respect to

00:03:00 --> 00:03:00

the future.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

Tomorrow what will happen? I don't know. What

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

will happen to the economy? Will there be

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

a 3rd world war? Will I be sick?

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

Will I be there's there's there's many things.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

And huzun is with respect to the past.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

Oh, I did this, I did this, I

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

did I should have made this decision. I

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

took a wrong decision. Whatever. Right? So Allah

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

is saying for these people,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

there is no fear and there's no sadness.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

And these are the people of Jannah and

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

they will be in Jannah forever.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:31

Right?

00:03:34 --> 00:03:34

So

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

the reason is because

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

there is no benefit

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

of having sadness

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

in the heart

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

and the most beloved thing for Satan is

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

to make the believing slave Abdullah and Amatullah

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

sad by taking them off track.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:03:59 --> 00:03:59

took

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

refuge from Allah

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

from sadness.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

Now, Ibn Qayyim says

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

that sadness weakens the heart

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

and it

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

diminishes

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

determination

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

and wanting to go forward. And there is

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

nothing more beloved to Shaitan than the sadness

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

of a believer

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

because sadness goes and takes us towards

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

hopelessness, towards despair

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

And despair is lack of faith. Despair is.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

Right? We if somebody says I have no

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

hope, he's.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

That is where it leads. Sadness is the

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

first step

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

but if you leave it there, then it

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

takes you.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

This is negative, that is negative, that is

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

negative, and so on, so on, so on.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

What is the hope in this world? See

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

what is happening in philosophy. See what is

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

happening in this place, that place. All our

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

leaders are bad leaders. I mean, there is

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

no end to this,

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

and that is the reason I say always,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:05

whenever this kind of conversation happens, either leave

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

the place, go away, or

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

turn it,

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

and force yourself to look at

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

the good things.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

For example, alhamdulillah,

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

whatever is happening anywhere else, we are sitting

00:05:19 --> 00:05:19

here

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

in comfort,

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

in safety,

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

and we are remembering Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

We prayed Salatulisha.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

We heard such beautiful khira'at of Quran.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:31

Right?

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

Now where is the thankfulness for this?

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

How much of our conversation is on this

00:05:40 --> 00:05:40

on these

00:05:41 --> 00:05:41

lines?

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

No. We should monitor our it's very important.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49

We monitor our conversation. When we are speaking,

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

just think about it. How many times do

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

you talk about the about politics of this

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

place, that place? And

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

never not one word have I ever heard

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

of any politics of any place which is

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

positive.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

Only negative.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:05

Right?

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

Why?

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

So if you simply listen to our conversation,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

it seems as if we are already living

00:06:13 --> 00:06:13

in Jhana.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

Everything is

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

bad.

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

Where there is so much of good.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

So much of good.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

I was in based here this morning for

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

an MRI, and I was looking at the

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

at the hospital,

00:06:33 --> 00:06:33

the facilities,

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

the people,

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

and, you know, we talk about ins say,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

insurance. This is a big insurance racket in

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

the American.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

Okay. Leave that aside. But the fact of

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

the matter is, if you have insurance,

00:06:47 --> 00:06:50

then all that treatment for you is free.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

If you take that treatment

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

in I know what what it cost in

00:06:55 --> 00:06:55

India.

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

I'm not mentioning names and so on because

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

these things go all over the world, but

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

I know friends of ours who all of

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

you also know

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

the kind of treatment that they had to

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

give for their child and the child, alhamdulillah,

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

fully recovered

00:07:17 --> 00:07:17

from

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

something where this child on the face of

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

it was as good as dead.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

Completely recovered. And I know of 2 2

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

such cases.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

To get that same treatment

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30

in India,

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

that man would have been on the street.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

He would have had to sell his house,

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

his wife's jewelry, his everything, and he would

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

have been standing with a begging bowl on

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

the street to give that same treatment to

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

his parents. Still, he would not get that

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

treatment of that quality which he got from

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

the Boston Children's Hospital.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

So should we not thank Allah for this?

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

Alhamdulillah. Allah

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

brought us and kept us in a place

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

where we have all this.

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

Shaytan takes us off track.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

Always negative.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

I'm not saying negative is not there. Please

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

understand this. I'm I'm not trying to spin

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08

some no. There is negative. I agree. But

00:08:08 --> 00:08:09

it's our choice.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

Do I want to look at that or

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

do I want to look at this?

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

My principle in life is I will look

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

at the negative which I can change.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

If I can't change that, I don't look

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

at it. I will say leave it all.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

What can I do?

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

Our hot topic, we should have it also

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

in our hearts because it's something which is

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

close to us and which is painful, which

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

is what is happening in Palestine. This is

00:08:36 --> 00:08:37

happening in Rafa, Gaza, so on and so

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

on. But can you change that? Can I

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

change that? No. What can we do?

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

And I asked this question to many many

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

people. You are making so much of talk

00:08:48 --> 00:08:48

about

00:08:49 --> 00:08:49

Philistine.

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

Did you pray 2 rakaat of the Hajjut

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

tonight, last night, this night, and did you

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

cry before Allah did tears come in your

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

eyes? Did did this happen or not? If

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

it did not happen, then you have no

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

right to talk about it because Allah is

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

the one who can correct it. You don't

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

talk to Allah.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:07

But you want to waste your time and

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09

everybody else's time by saying this is bad,

00:09:09 --> 00:09:11

that is bad. See, look at this.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

Please stay away from this. There's no benefit

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

in sadness.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

There's no benefit in huzul.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

Look at the positive things in life.

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

Negative things, look at those which you can

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

control. Go control them. Do something about it.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:32

Not

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

this. This doesn't help anybody. Go and do

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

something about it.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

And what you cannot do anything about, and

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

there are things like this. Turn to Allah.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

See, Arab, this is yours.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

I can cry before you, I will cry.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

I can ask you. I will ask. I

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

I can wake up in the night when

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

you are when you are there close to

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54

me. I will wake up and I will

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

do. This much I will do because this

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

is this is in my control. I will

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

do this. I will not be lying there

00:09:59 --> 00:10:00

sleeping in my bed.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

And then I wake up and I pray

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

fajr or not even. And then I make

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

a big noise. Look at this. Look at

00:10:06 --> 00:10:06

this.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

And that's why Ibrahim says this is something

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14

which is very bad. He said don't ruin

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

your happiness with worry and don't ruin your

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

mind with pessimism.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:23

Don't ruin your success with deception and don't

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

ruin the optimism of others by destroying it.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

Don't ruin your day

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

by looking back at back at yesterday. If

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

you think about your situation, you will find

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

that Allah

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37

has given you things without asking. So have

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38

trust in Allah.

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

This is so true, Allah.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

Allah has given us, if you simply make

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

a list, the things I have from Allah

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

make into 2 parts.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

Those I made dua and I got. And

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

those I got without making dua.

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

Just do this.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

You know, we this is very unfortunate. Even

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

our deenie education

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

is only books. This, read, this, read, this,

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

read, this. Quran, Tajweed. Okay. This is Tajweed.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

This is the correct oh, no, no. This

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

should be there. No here. There should be

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

a mom, no mother.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

Nobody ever asked the question. You recite a

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

desire. What did it do in your heart?

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25

Does somebody ask this question? What happened to

00:11:25 --> 00:11:25

your heart?

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

Why don't you ask this question? Allah asked

00:11:28 --> 00:11:29

this question.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

Tomorrow when we talk about you know, on

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

Saturday, we'll be talking about the foundation of

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

faith I will tell you. But my point

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

is that this question, I've never heard of

00:11:38 --> 00:11:39

anybody. Right?

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

Now I'm not saying that this is not

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

of course it is important. But which is

00:11:44 --> 00:11:44

more important?

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

That the Quran must change my heart? Is

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

this more important? Or that I must pronounce

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

it correctly? Is that more which is more

00:11:51 --> 00:11:51

important?

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

Please pronounce correctly. I'm not saying do it

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

wrong. Please pronounce correct. But with the best

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

pronunciation in the world, if it is not

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02

touching your heart.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

One day somebody complained to me. What about

00:12:08 --> 00:12:08

Sheikh?

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

He said, Sheikh,

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

why does he recite 1 ayah 3 times,

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

4 times?

00:12:17 --> 00:12:18

He he what is it?

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

I said, if you can understand what he

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

say, you will recite it 10,000 times.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28

He recited he recited it 4 times because

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

he understands what he's saying. You don't understand

00:12:30 --> 00:12:31

why you're in music.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

We listen to the. Oh,

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

beautiful. What do you mean beautiful girl? What

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

is the meaning of that? Is there a

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

difference between this and and and some song?

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

A tune for you and the nice tune,

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

nice voice.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

Is that the Maqsa of the Muslim of

00:12:46 --> 00:12:46

the Quran?

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

So remove all sadness. Alhamdulillah.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

For the believer, big smile on the face.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

No sadness.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

What we can change, we will change.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

What we cannot change, we

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

beg Allah to change.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

Alhamdulillah.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

And our job,

00:13:09 --> 00:13:10

gratitude,

00:13:10 --> 00:13:13

thankfulness, we thank Allah. Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah,

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

Don't spoil your happiness and don't spoil the

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

happiness of others

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

by talking negatively. No.

00:13:27 --> 00:13:27

We ask Allah

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

to fill our lives and our hearts with

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

his no and with his barakah and with

00:13:34 --> 00:13:35

the hope of of himself

00:13:36 --> 00:13:37

and the hope of.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:39

And we ask Allah

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

to help us in ways that only he

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

can do and the ways in which we

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

cannot even imagine. And we ask Allah

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

to use us in order to spread goodness

00:13:49 --> 00:13:49

and happiness
