Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

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

Salatu was Salam ala Aisha freedom ba will mousseline Muhammad

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

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam

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

just leaving the clearing gussied up on my mother. My brothers and

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20

sisters, the topic of my hombre today is when the rubber meets the

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

road.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:28

The Quran Al Karim commands us to have some and promises help to

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

those who have some who have patients. Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:00:32 --> 00:00:38

taught us how to face difficulty and he said first Qurani as Oricom

00:00:39 --> 00:00:44

worst rolly wallet up for all Yeah, you want Lavina monastery in

00:00:44 --> 00:00:50

with somebody was solid in Allah Maha sabihin I'm not one of the

00:00:50 --> 00:00:55

tennis and which means remember be and I will remember you and thank

00:00:55 --> 00:01:03

me and never be ungrateful or believers seek help is Deanna seek

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

help and seek comfort, in patience and in prayer in sabar was salah.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

Truly Allah is with those who have suffered who have patients.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

Brothers, sisters elders, I remind myself, I knew that the concept of

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

Sobor or patients in Islam is very interesting and very different

00:01:26 --> 00:01:31

from what many people think it is. Summer doesn't mean to simply pray

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

and do nothing, or to simply sit and wait things, wait for things

00:01:35 --> 00:01:41

to happen, and simply help simply expect help to come from outside

00:01:41 --> 00:01:48

including divine intervention. Several means to do our best and

00:01:48 --> 00:01:55

to use every means at our disposal to exert our full effort and

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

strength, and then to turn towards Allah subhanaw taala and seek His

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

help to enable our efforts to succeed.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:10

That is our call, I call our call that our heat of the heart.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

This is what ensures that we remain on the heat the heat of the

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

heart. To illustrate with an example. It's like wiring up a new

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25

house, making sure that you did everything correctly following all

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

protocols and safety procedures, and then connecting it to the

00:02:30 --> 00:02:36

transformer and turning on the switch. It is a combination of two

00:02:36 --> 00:02:41

things wiring up correctly and then connecting and then only

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

connecting to the power source. It's also about the sequence the

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

wiring before the connection. And that is why southern maximum

00:02:50 --> 00:02:56

effort comes before Salah and Salah is essential after making

00:02:56 --> 00:03:00

the effort so that you don't fall into the trap of the so called

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

self made man.

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

Living an imaginary world where you think that your success is

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12

your own, and that you don't owe anything to anyone. That is

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

arrogance. And arrogance leads only to Johanna.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:24

If you don't wire up the house, the power source cannot eliminate

00:03:24 --> 00:03:29

it. But even if you wire up the house, without the power source,

00:03:29 --> 00:03:33

it will remain in darkness. And that is the importance of the

00:03:33 --> 00:03:39

work. I remind myself I knew that we owe our success to all those

00:03:39 --> 00:03:44

around us who Allah subhanaw taala put there for our benefit and

00:03:44 --> 00:03:49

inspired them with love and respect for us to take the time

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

and trouble they invest their own time and energy and effort and

00:03:53 --> 00:03:59

experience and knowledge for us to succeed. Islam tells us that we

00:03:59 --> 00:04:04

need to acknowledge this and thank them and thank Allah subhanho wa

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

Taala

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

an excellent book to read in this context is called outliers,

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

outliers, and it's by the statistician Malcolm Gladwell, who

00:04:16 --> 00:04:23

shows statistically how we owe our success to our circumstances far

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

more than we may like to think

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

it's a very interesting book. I strongly recommend you read

00:04:32 --> 00:04:37

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell rather than sisters gratitude

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

saves us from arrogance.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:47

And we wanted her to Anil Alonso and in Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

sallam

00:04:49 --> 00:04:56

law yes what Allah Mala your school nurse or whatever the law

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

who reported that as soon as a result and said whoever

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

Word does not thank people has not thanked Allah.

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

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us thankful Allah Jana, when

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

people ask,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

why does the help of Allah not come?

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

Allah subhanaw taala gifts and Allah gives at the right time, we

00:05:25 --> 00:05:32

ask, Allah gives at the right time, when we look at the wisdom

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

and timing of Allah subhanaw taala has helped,

00:05:36 --> 00:05:42

we see his hand in it, the health comes through material means or

00:05:42 --> 00:05:47

may come through material means, but Allah subhanaw taala sends it

00:05:47 --> 00:05:53

in a way where it becomes clear that it was not material means but

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

the Command of Allah subhanaw taala which was working

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

I remind myself I knew that

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

let us see Allah

00:06:09 --> 00:06:13

told us about the story of Musa alayhis salam.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:20

And most of our data could have saved him in multiple ways. But

00:06:20 --> 00:06:25

instead he Gela DeLallo commanded Musa Ali salaam mother to throw

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

him in the Nile

00:06:27 --> 00:06:32

when she feared for his safety method, what kind of

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

safety measures that

00:06:36 --> 00:06:41

I last ran into I said, oh hi Nyla Oh Mimosa and are they are he for

00:06:41 --> 00:06:52

either 50 i Li for NP fill young wallet Favi one has any in raw do

00:06:52 --> 00:06:58

a key word yeah who mineral more saline. Allah subhanaw taala said

00:06:58 --> 00:07:02

We inspired when we sent away to the mother of Musa alayhis salam

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

and said, nurse him but when you fear for him, or to him, then into

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

the river and do not fear and do not grieve. We will certainly

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

return him to you and make him one of the messengers.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:23

Allah subhanaw taala told us about this whole journey, where instead

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

of hiding him or his identity, Allah subhanaw taala caused him to

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

be directed into the palace of Iran.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:37

And not only literally be in the hands of Iran, but being

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

recognized as that child of Bani Israel,

00:07:42 --> 00:07:47

who it was predicted, would destroy the Pharaonic empire of

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

Egypt.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

The bronze

00:07:52 --> 00:07:58

astrologist identified that baby and advised him to kill the child.

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

The Federal obviously had no compunction about killing a child,

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

since it was by his command that 1000s of newborn boys of the Bani

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

Israel had already been killed, just to ensure that this one child

00:08:13 --> 00:08:20

did not survive. Now they had that very child in dead hands. All that

00:08:20 --> 00:08:24

remained was one simple action and the job would be done and Musa

00:08:24 --> 00:08:29

Ali's around story would have ended before it began. But Allah

00:08:29 --> 00:08:35

subhanaw taala wanted to show that all worldly power and wealth mean

00:08:35 --> 00:08:36

nothing.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:43

And only Allah subhanaw taala as will prevents

00:08:45 --> 00:08:51

the astrologist advice around to kill the child, but the wife of

00:08:51 --> 00:08:56

the pharaoh advised him to spare the life of the child and instead

00:08:56 --> 00:09:01

raise him as their son as they were childless.

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

Rameses the second that was the that was a pharaoh

00:09:10 --> 00:09:14

Rameses the second listen to his wife.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

And the rest is history.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:26

And obviously the second became the foster father and protector or

00:09:26 --> 00:09:31

Musa alayhis salaam, and paid for him to be nursed by his born

00:09:31 --> 00:09:36

mother. Naturally that meant a total transformation of the family

00:09:36 --> 00:09:40

are Musa alayhis salam financially and socially because now they were

00:09:40 --> 00:09:46

the people nursing and taking care of the son of the of the King, the

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

son of the pharaoh of Egypt.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:53

Once was that he said I was old enough. He was taken back to the

00:09:53 --> 00:09:58

palace and was raised as an Egyptian prince with access to the

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

highest

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

And most valuable resources of the time, learning from the best

00:10:04 --> 00:10:09

scholars and warriors destined to be a ruler after his foster

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

father.

00:10:10 --> 00:10:16

Capital, Egypt was the most ancient and powerful empire of the

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

time on Earth.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:32

But Allah subhanaw taala had something better in store for Musa

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

Salah. So instead of becoming yet another ruler of an ancient

00:10:36 --> 00:10:42

dynasty, he became one who would write history and be remembered

00:10:42 --> 00:10:47

and honored for all time as one of the five great messengers, who are

00:10:47 --> 00:10:52

called all Assam Minahasa. When Allah subhanaw taala brands,

00:10:53 --> 00:11:00

whatever he plans he does, as a result, Moser is suddenly lost it

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

all. And he had to flee for his life.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:10

And he spent 10 years grazing sheep as a word

00:11:12 --> 00:11:16

of your evolution. He lived in the house of a prophet being mentored

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

by him for 10 years.

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

I want you to put yourself in his position this so that you realize

00:11:22 --> 00:11:26

the difference between storytelling and story living. The

00:11:26 --> 00:11:31

storyteller knows the ending. But the one living the story doesn't.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:35

Storytellers therefore, don't feel the fear and the sadness and the

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

despair and the hope that those leaving the story do.

00:11:40 --> 00:11:45

As also as a result of that laser hammer Valpo Aina the report is

00:11:45 --> 00:11:49

not the same as the inspection or visibility.

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

The report is not the same as the

00:11:56 --> 00:12:00

inspection or the experience. My brothers and sisters,

00:12:01 --> 00:12:06

we are all living our own stories. We all have our hopes and

00:12:06 --> 00:12:11

aspirations, fears and apprehensions. None of us know the

00:12:11 --> 00:12:16

ending of our stories. None of us knows the ending

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

of his or her story.

00:12:22 --> 00:12:28

That is why I lost when I told her stories of his messengers so that

00:12:28 --> 00:12:32

we can take courage from knowing that Allah subhanho data is in

00:12:32 --> 00:12:36

control. And just as Musa alayhis salam accepted and took comfort

00:12:36 --> 00:12:40

from this, so should we. The only condition is that we must

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

demonstrate our trust in Allah subhanho wa Taala by obeying Him.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:50

That is what Musa gave Musa alayhis salam, the courage to

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

return to the code of Rameses the second from where he had fled as a

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

fugitive with a price on his head. He didn't do that surreptitiously,

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

but openly as the messenger of Allah.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

I remind myself I knew that we have the stories of the

00:13:06 --> 00:13:10

exceptional help of others Mandela coming but ask who does it come

00:13:10 --> 00:13:14

to? It comes to those who are obedient to Him. Because there is

00:13:14 --> 00:13:19

no one more obedient to Allah than the Nabhi of Allah just had did

00:13:19 --> 00:13:22

not come to the five second budget. It didn't come to the

00:13:22 --> 00:13:25

people who were disobedient or less amount of data. It came to

00:13:25 --> 00:13:30

those who are not just obedient to Allah, but obedient Allah will

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

level of excellence.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

The whole story was that is that I was so powerful and salutary that

00:13:36 --> 00:13:41

we must studied carefully and apply the lessons in our lives.

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

Picture This

00:13:43 --> 00:13:47

is a celebrity family are returning to Egypt from Medea,

00:13:47 --> 00:13:52

which today is called Marva era shape. It's a historical site that

00:13:52 --> 00:13:58

lies 140 miles northwest of Lubbock city, in Al Bayda

00:13:58 --> 00:14:05

governorate in Saudi Arabia. From here, Musa CERAM is headed for

00:14:05 --> 00:14:11

headed to pyrolysis is the capital of ancient Egypt, which is about

00:14:11 --> 00:14:17

60 miles north east of Cairo of Alvira. Today, it's a village or

00:14:17 --> 00:14:23

frontier in the Sharia province of the Eastern Nile Delta in Egypt.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:28

That is a walk of about 450 wives to the desert.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:34

They get lost in the night, and he sees the light of a fire burning

00:14:34 --> 00:14:39

in the distance. He says to his family, his raw neuron Takala Lea

00:14:39 --> 00:14:45

led him to zoom in on us to narrow the alley article min hobby covers

00:14:45 --> 00:14:51

in O RG to Ireland Nari Hoda when he saw a fire is that his family

00:14:51 --> 00:14:55

Wait here. I have spotted a fire. Perhaps I can bring you a torch

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

from it or find some other guidance at the fire

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

In the words the wonderful words of the great poet, Mustafa

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

Hyderabadi.

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

He said Hoda key then GM was as a Bucha word for ducky then Musa

00:15:14 --> 00:15:21

Pucci, while Avalon echo Jane, Aglianico Jai wembury MinJae

00:15:22 --> 00:15:25

lineable Jai wembury Will Jays ask

00:15:27 --> 00:15:31

as Musa Ali salaam, about the generosity of Allah subhanho wa

00:15:31 --> 00:15:36

Taala that he went to get fire and he got prophethood instead.

00:15:37 --> 00:15:42

The key to all of this is consistency and steadfastness, the

00:15:42 --> 00:15:48

willingness to continue despite the hardship to stay on track,

00:15:48 --> 00:15:51

even when it is tough, and you don't see any light at the end of

00:15:51 --> 00:15:57

the tunnel. That is the test of faith, Eman, Bill, rave, faith in

00:15:57 --> 00:16:02

the unperceivable. We have it because we believe also Allah is

00:16:02 --> 00:16:09

Allah. He said it so we believe it because we believe him. This is

00:16:09 --> 00:16:15

what made Abu Bakr Radi Allahu acidic. He believes Mohamed Salah

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

and acted on that belief.

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

However sisters and elders I remind myself we knew that action

00:16:22 --> 00:16:29

ports soul into words and give them life and only action gets

00:16:29 --> 00:16:36

results. In the Lilina call Robin Allah was almost acabo that Farah

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

COVID-19 wala whom he has an old without a gas hob what agenda the

00:16:40 --> 00:16:46

highly Dena Jezza be Mercado Yamalube Allah that I said about

00:16:46 --> 00:16:51

his exam but about steadfastness. Surely those who say our rub is

00:16:51 --> 00:16:56

Allah and then remain steadfast, there will be no fear for them,

00:16:57 --> 00:17:02

nor will they grieve. It is dead, who will be the residents of Jana

00:17:02 --> 00:17:06

staying there forever, as a reward for what they use to do.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:13

To believe and remain firm on that belief, and demonstrate that by

00:17:13 --> 00:17:18

our action, even when it may not be popular. That is what is

00:17:18 --> 00:17:24

required. As someone said, If Islam were illegal, would you

00:17:24 --> 00:17:28

would they find enough evidence of it in your life to convict you?

00:17:29 --> 00:17:34

Think about this If Islam was illegal, what those who

00:17:35 --> 00:17:39

are searching for muskets? Would they find enough evidence in your

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

life to convict you? Meaning would you look like a Muslim?

00:17:43 --> 00:17:49

Unless we spoke to us about the ending for all such people, as

00:17:49 --> 00:17:54

Carlos got a talent to make us among those for whom he promised

00:17:54 --> 00:17:58

these beautiful things? Unless Mandela said in the La Vie

00:17:58 --> 00:18:06

Nakamura buena, loathsome Mustapha data reservoir, he will Mala Allah

00:18:06 --> 00:18:11

to have on her there Huzzah, no, I wish you all will generate in the

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

depot door I do not have only open filaria to dunya or villa.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:22

Whatever happened to the test, he

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

only

00:18:26 --> 00:18:29

knows all men before he

00:18:30 --> 00:18:35

does it which means Surely those who say our Allah is our rubbish

00:18:35 --> 00:18:41

Allah. Allah will follow up with Allah. Allah says Surely those who

00:18:41 --> 00:18:47

say our rubbish is Allah, and then remains steadfast. That is the

00:18:47 --> 00:18:51

key. The key is not to have a flash in the pan. The key is not

00:18:51 --> 00:18:54

simply to say a light bulb and then do the opposite and disobey
