My brothers and sisters,
Ibn Khayrnaq al Ahtulari continues
and he says, do not weep
for
something in life
that made your heart weep.
So do not weep from
accidents and loss and
reasons for grief and bereavement
and so on.
Just say, O Allah compensate me with good
in this life and the hereof.
Right?
Sadness, he says sadness departs with
happiness
comes with sincere Dua.
Allah does not
forget the good you do nor does he
forget the good you did to others and
the pain you relieve them from
nor will you forget the eye which was
about to cry
but you made it laugh.
Now,
if you think about this beautiful advice,
it's like,
yahoovali saraham
when was lost
and his sons informed him that he had
been killed by a wolf, eaten by a
wolf.
Imagine how traumatic that would have been to
the father
who loved that son so much that not
only was
he not going to see his son ever
again not only was the son dead but
he died in this horrible way.
But
what was
his response? He said
He said, Verily
my sadness
and my tears
are
only
towards Allah.
I give my sadness
and I weep my tears and
I complain only to Allah.
The reason is that when you complain in
front of others you demean yourself.
When you complain before Allah SWT you honour
yourself.
Hussar al Basir
another one of my most favorite scholars I
ask Allah
to cause
me to InshaAllah
meet
Hassar
Abbasid
in Jannah Inshallah.
He was absolutely
steeped in wisdom.
Steeped in wisdom. So Hassan Masih
he
was
walking down the road and he saw a
man, He saw 2 people in conversation
and he happened to
over here
something
and
he realized that they were
that one man was complaining about his life
to the other
man and Hazemasir
says what a strange person you are
that you complain about
to the one who has no You
complain about
to the one who has no rahman.
You're
complaining about the most merciful Allah
to somebody who is a human being.
What is the comparison between Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala's mercy and whatever
mercy or pity usually it's pity that people
feel for you if you go and complain
to them. So why do why do you
do that?
Number 2, when you complain about your worries
and your problems
to people,
what can the people do to change that?
People cannot change that, people cannot change your
heart, people cannot take away if you lost
something they can't bring it back for you.
They can't do anything. People are helpless just
like you.
So you want you are helpless and you
want to talk to somebody who's also helpless.
What's the make talk to the one who
can actually
do something for you, who can actually change
your life, who can actually change your destiny,
who can actually change the,
you know, the the
what what you
have who can change that completely.
This is only Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and that's why Yaqub ul Iqbal answered I
do not complain to you. I don't cry
before you. I cry
before So
then he says sadness departs with the sajdah.
I
know all of you have done sujood, we
all alhamdulillah, Allah
has made us Muslims so we make sujood.
But just do that sujdah with consciousness. Do
that sujdah with awareness of what does it
do to you. You. Think about that. What
is my sardah
doing for me?
Just
the action of putting your head on the
ground before Allah
is such
a relieving action, such a comforting action
that there is nothing in the world that
compensates
or comes close to
or is like the sajdah that you made
before Allah
That's why sajdah to anyone other than Allah
is haram.
Not to anybody. Not to anything living or
dead. Not to anything animate or inanimate. Sajdah
is only and only to Allah SWT.
We ask Allah to make us among those
who are
always in Sarasota,
physically as well as
psychologically,
mentally,
in every way where we submit completely and
totally to Allah SWT.
And that's why Allah
SWT also told us about
Surjud in the way where he said,
the first thing he said to Musa
He says, Verily I am Allah and there
is no one worthy of worship except me.
So establish salah for my worship
to remember me. And what is salah? Salah
is sujood, salah is sujda.
So this is something that is so beautiful.
Get used to that, get
enjoy that, right?
Bow down before Allah
The best time for sudood, especially
when you are in need is tahajul.
So, make tahajjud for 1 yourself.
Make sajdah, make a lot of dua, sincere
dua.
And remember that Allah
has an account of everything that we do.
Allah does not
forget anything good that we did, whether it
was for his sake or whether it was
for the sake of other people
and Allah
will reward every single one of those things.
There is nothing that Allah will
not reward. So, therefore,
make sujuk
and ask Allah
to reward.
Because this is the beauty, this is the
whole beauty of
Islam which puts us directly in touch with
Allah
SWT, from whom nothing is hidden and to
whom is Our return.
So
making
sure that we
make sujood,
starts with,
with our farsalah.
Make sure that we never miss a farsalah.
Make sure you pray the farsalah at its
correct time. Don't delay it. And as far
as possible, pray it in the masjid.
And for the men I am saying, the
women can pray at home.
And
then
make tahajjud follow yourself.
Read some Quran every day.
Send salat and salaam on Rasool
because one time if we send for every
time that we send durood on Rasoolallahu
Rasulullah
Allah sends salaam on us 10 times.
Every time we send
salaam once Allah sends
salaam on that person 10 times. Tell me
how can you or I
come to any harm if Allah
is sending his blessing on us?
So increase that blessing
by increasing
the salaam that we send on Rasool
Allah as much as possible, especially on Fridays
but all that every day.
Make it one of the beautiful habits
as part of our dhikr that we send
salaatul salaam al Rasoolallahi
Allah does not forget. Allah does not
forget what you did for him. Allah does
not forget what you did for what you
and I did for other people. So let
us maximise
that.
And finally,
the way to deal with all sadness is
to remember that this will end.
This will end. This sadness will end.
Just as happiness ends, but sadness will end.
It's never forever.
One day we go to Allah
and what comes thereafter
never ends. So there's 2 very important things.
1 is that this will end and the
second one is that will never end. And
that's why it's so critical and so important
to make sure that we don't spoil
tomorrow for the sake of today
by taking shortcuts, by doing wrong things, by,
by oppressing others, by,
by denying people their rights and so on.
Let us not put ourselves in a situation
where our actions
today
become a liability for us tomorrow.
Do not let today's
actions spoil the reward we will receive from
Allah
tomorrow.
That is the most important thing. So, this
whole faith
in the akhira, our faith in
life after death, our faith in the ghayb
is a huge comfort for us in this
dunya.
It
is a shield for us from all sin.
It holds us in check
from
carrying out excesses,
whether its in happiness or otherwise,
and it is also
a comfort for us in terms of stress
and difficulty. We ask Allah
to increase our
faith and belief in the akhirah
and to make it ever stronger,
and we ask
Allah to be pleased and never to be
displeased with us.
