Munira for my Babu Carla Tada yeah you know cupola Karnataka de what
are the most in the 11 to Muslim on the call? Yeah y'all again I
want to talk Hola Hola. Hola. Usually hella Kurama la Cova fear
la cama de Nova who are my youth de la also over first of all on
our call interview in our humble sanaulla sallallahu alayhi wa
Dali, he was able to sell them in as the full Hadith he kita Allah
Will Ferrell had he had the Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, Persia or Marie Modasa to Akula masa de vida Aquila, without
him. Hola. Hola. Buenas infidel,
my brothers and sisters elders
I remind myself in you that the Quran commands us to be patient to
have some and promises help to those who have patients. Allah
subhanaw taala daughters how to face difficulty
and those around it that I said possible Rooney of core calm works
really well at UK photo. Yeah. Are you healthy in a monastery? No.
This summary was salah, in Aloha slavery, zero to Bacara Allah
subhanho wa Taala said, which means, remember me and I will
remember you. And thank me and never be ungrateful. All
believers, seek comfort in patience and prayer
in Server and salah, Allah subhanaw taala is truly with those
who are patient.
The concept of server or patients in Islam is very interesting.
server doesn't mean to simply pray and do nothing. It doesn't mean to
simply sit and wait for things to happen. It doesn't mean to expect
help to come from outside, including divine intervention.
People say you know, everything will be fine was the magic comes.
That's not Islam.
The money will come you know, this, this is so you have this
idea that we believe that. But we have a responsibility in the time
and space that we live in, we have a responsibility to do what we are
supposed to do not wait for somebody to come outside
to solve our problems.
So our means to do our best and use every means at our disposal to
exert our full effort and strength. And then to turn towards
Allah subhanaw taala and seek his health to enable our efforts to
succeed.
That is called taco.
And I call
our call that our head of the heart.
Though a call is a thorough hit of the heart.
To illustrate let me give you an example.
If you are wiring up a new house, say you're a builder, you're
building a house, you built a new house and you wired the whole
house up and everything else taking all safety precautions,
whatnot, whatnot.
And then what do you do, you connect it to the transformer and
you flip the switch the houses eliminated.
So it's a combination of two things and in a sequence
wiring up everything correctly and then connecting to the power
source
the wiring before the connection
if you don't wire up the house and you can switch this flip a switch
nothing's gonna happen. There's no connection
and if you wire up everything else and then you're saying I'll wait
after all I did everything else I put all these light bulbs and
everything is so
true Come on.
Don't know it will not come on until the house falls on your
head. Nothing will happen because you are supposed to connect to the
power source and turn it on. That is in your hands
that's why server maximum effort comes before Salah Allah's router
is in his time you know with summary was Allah. Allah did not
say Stein who is salatu salam
to the salah first No. First of all,
Make all the effort. And then ask Allah.
Now you might say, well, if I make all the effort, then why do I need
to ask anybody the reason is because Allah is essential after
making the effort, so that we don't fall into the trap of the
self made man.
And the greatest, all I have is because of my effort. I did all
this.
Living in an imaginary world, where you think that your success
is your own, and that you don't owe anything to anyone.
That is arrogance.
And arrogance leads only to Ghana.
We owe our success to all those around us who Allah subhanaw taala
put there for our benefit, and inspired them with love and
respect for us to take the time and travel to invest their own
time and energy and money and experience and knowledge for us to
succeed.
Islam tells us that we need to acknowledge and thank them and
thank Allah
my brothers and sisters, that is the reason why we need to turn on
was one of the VC Allah, this is yours. You gave it to us. And
believe me, I'm not talking all of this is not some Philly Philly
thing. Read a book is a book called outliers. Outliers by
Malcolm Gladwell, who's a statistician Malcolm Gladwell
proves statistically, that every great success in either wonderful
job in that book, he compares two people on the basis of IQ on the
basis of various things who are the same in some cases, one is
superior to the other. But the circumstances are one person were
more helpful and that person exceeded whereas the other person
got lost. Even though IQ wise he was far superior to the other.
And Malcolm Gladwell proves this issue of gratitude. Statistically
is not I'm not talking about religion.
And that is why we have the heavy sort of optimism and in Abu
Huraira, availa, Hanro color, Allah Islam
law yes or Allah ml Mala yesh Coronas.
As soon as I sell them said, as reported by Ebola or the Alonso,
whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah.
Now we ask Allah we make dua,
but you don't always get what we ask.
So the thing to remember is that Allah subhanaw taala accepts all
does Allah say, Oh, the only a study of Lacombe asked me I will
give you
but Allah gives according to His timing,
not according to my time here your time.
Now when we look at the wisdom of timing in Allah subhanaw taala has
helped, we see the hand of Allah subhanaw taala in it.
The Help may come through material means but Allah subhanaw taala
sends it in a way where it becomes clear that it was not because of
the material, but the Command of Allah subhanho wa Taala which was
working.
Take the case of Musa is Allah.
Allah subhanaw taala wanted to say Musa alayhis salam and he could
have saved him in any number of ways.
But what it allows him to do,
Allah subhanho wa Taala
said, wow, hyena, Isla Omi Musa and we said where he to the mother
of Musa and are there he for either 50 ally for Alfie Phil yum.
Wallet Mojave Walla has any you don't fear and don't be sad. In
Colorado Lake, you will return into you wotja, Idaho Minar
mousseline and we will make him among the messengers. Allah said
Be inspired the mother of Musa alayhis salam nursed him, but when
you fear for him, put him into the river and do not fear or grief, we
will certainly return him to you and make him one of Our
Messengers.
Whichever is this the Nile?
What is the Nile don't for
crocodiles.
The Nile crocodile is one of the biggest crocodiles in the world.
What do they eat?
Now think about it. Allah subhanaw taala told us about his whole
journey. So instead of hiding Musa Islam somewhere what happens?
Allah subhanaw taala says put him into the Nile so she puts him into
the Nile in whatever
because people say basket board whatnot anyway.
Now Allah subhanaw taala did not take him away somewhere through a
tributary and he's got no
Allah did not cause him to be found by some farmer or somebody
fisherman who takes him and I didn't know
Allah subhanaw taala calls Moselle is around to go straight into the
palace of
analysis the second
I will say you might say, Well, why does the lion Nile flow into
the palace of the throne? Why do you have what waterfront
properties Same reason it best real estate? Why don't we so now
if you are the if you are the king, you know you can take the
river anywhere you want. So, now this river
Musa is Ram flows come into the palace of the king even there he
is not not that somebody he is found. He lands up in the hands of
the film.
So here is the baby handle now.
Even there, it could be okay some mistaken identity whatnot. And the
wife says let us adopt him here is some random child No, no, no
random child.
The astrologist come the people who predicted that this man there
will be a child born in the Bani Israel who will destroy your
kingdom and and Ron said very simple kill all of them.
All male children finish them off.
And we don't know some of us have said more than 70,000 children
were slaughtered.
So now we astrologers come and they identify the baby they said
this is the one
right? So all the others sorry. But this is the one know mistaken
identity.
what needed to happen? He is in the hands of Iran. And the people
are saying this is the one that we were trying to kill patient?
How long does it do you think it takes
or it would have taken for film to do what you want to do?
Allah is showing us that there is no power La hawla wala Quwata illa
bill, it doesn't matter. You can be the hero. You can hold the
child in your hand but you will still do only what I order you to
do nothing else. And Allah is a you will do to somebody who denies
Allah
is not doing it in obedience to Allah. He is doing it because he's
compelled.
So his wife said to him, no, no, let us keep the baby. So he
listened to the wife.
And the rest is history.
Right
as Carlos Mandela to put this all and majesty and glory of himself
into our hearts, this is the rub that we worship.
When there is nobody and nothing who has power or Allah
and Allah subhanaw taala has power over everything. So whatever
happens in our lives, whether it appears good to us or not good to
us, is happening because of the will of Allah and we say
Alhamdulillah
Hola Hola. Hola esta for LA Khalifa como si al Muslimeen.

memorable sisters
this whole story of Musa Islam and others Rattata told us so and the
Buddha is alive and mentioned in 28 Jews of the Quran out of 38
said
the Quran almost became Nikita Musa.
Now Allah subhanaw taala told us all of this in such detail
because we are the people immediately after the bunnies,
right.
And Allah's rather told us in detail about the life of their
Navy and the times of of those times and the challenges that they
faced, because we will go through the same
cycles as we are seeing. So this is a lesson for us to learn and to
do the right thing. The whole story is so powerful and salutary
that we must study it carefully and apply the lessons in our
lives.
So a lot of time passes numbers or Islam has grown, grown up and so
on, so on so forth. I won't go into all that now. Picture this.
He is on his way back from Meridian to Egypt.
meridian is in a place in
about 150 miles north of northwest of Davao City in Saudi Arabia in
Al Bayda governorate and it's called Mother Choi.
From here Musa Al is alive is headed to
the capital of Egypt, which is by Rameses. It's called PI Rameses is
no Kira, and Kira is a
more much more recent city.
And that's about why Rameses is was about 60 miles north east of
Cairo. And today it's a village called control in the sharqiyah,
Ravi province of the Eastern Nile Delta in Egypt. That was a walk of
about 450 miles through the desert.
So Musa Lang gets lost in the night. And
he sees a light of a fire burn in the distance. And so he says to
his family, his raw neuron, Kalia him, Khufu in neon Astana Rolla,
Ali it comin Have you ever seen? How did you do Alana the Buddha?
He says when Allah said when he saw the fire, he said to his
family, wait here, I have spotted a fire. Perhaps I can bring you a
torch from it or find some guidance.
There's a one of our great poets called
Mr. Of Hyderabadi radula Lee, he said hoga ki then Kapuas Kazuaki.
Then come Musa se Bucha.
He says could argue the Inca Musa se Bucha while a Aglianico Jaya
Pembury mill J.
Aglianico Jaya Pembury Milda Hara Hara he said,
If you want to know the generosity of Allah, Allah, Allah, he went to
get fire and he got an award.
The key to all of this is consistency and steadfastness, the
willingness to continue despite the hardship,
when the going is good, when things are nice, everybody's
happy. The issue is will you continue on the path will you
still speak the truth when there is a price for it?
To stay on track, even when it is tough, and you don't see any light
at the end of the tunnel? That is the test of faith. Iman below
vibe, faith in the unperceivable. We have that for one reason only
because we believe
he said it. So we believe it because we believe in Him. And we
believe him. Very important. Even the courage of Makkah, even the
ones who did not believe in Him they believed him. They called him
Saudi Colombian.
They said no we you will not lie but we don't accept you as also.
How are we different? We are different because we believe in
him as the Rasul alayhis salaam and we believe him in terms of
what he told us
and that is what made Abubakar Rhodiola know acidic. He believed
in Mohammed Salah and he believed mama so salah, and he acted on
that belief.
Action puts soul into the words and gives them life
and only action gets results.

hollows, Rotella said, which means surely, those who say our rubbish
is Allah, and then remain steadfast to muster calm
there will be no fear for them nor will they grieve no sadness. It is
they who will be the residents of Jana staying there forever as a
reward for what they used to do. Ask Allah subhanaw taala this for
all of us, Inshallah, to believe and remain firm on that belief,
and to demonstrate by our action, even when it may
not be popular.
And somebody said, If Islam was illegal,
if Islam was illegal, would they find enough evidence in your life
to convict you?
If Islam was illegal, would they find enough evidence in your life
to convict you?
That is a test. The test is if there is a price to pay,
will you pay the price?
Today, believe me, you like it or not. We live in a country today,
which is probably the freest country to live in as far as
religion is concerned.
Including all Muslim countries. We are more free here in this country
than in I mean, I you know, you can pick ones up but probably
every other country.
You can dress as you want. You can eat what you want, you can say
what you want and so on and so forth. You can pray and people
help you to do that.
Which other country do you know where colleges have a director of
spiritual affairs?

freest country in the world. The test is where there is a price to
pay. Will you still say Hi Lola, will you still stand for La Ilaha
illa Allah will you still say Mohammad Rasool Allah, will you
still stand for the Sunnah of Muhammad Salah Sana that is the
test we ask Allah to save us from all tests.
And to help us if there is a test finally I want to
share with you one of my one of the most beautiful eyes of the
Quran, which is one of my favorite
when Allah subhanaw taala said in the Levina call Rob bonala who
must have
gotten us the rally he molded my ego to alert us all for the hazard
No, well, I will share who will join Atletico Tong to adorn now

I will just read the translation. There's no time for the opposite
of this but it's a beautiful beautiful adds something to sit
and reflect on line by line word by word. Allah subhanaw taala says
Surely there are those who say our Rob is Allah. So must accommo that
is the key. The key is is the grammar. Allah.
Halal Kalama
steadfastness on the word.
Surely those who say our job is Allah and then remain steadfast.
The angels descend upon them he's talking ALLAH is talking about the
time when we will meet Allah.
And that time is Allah says the angels will descend upon them and
they will say do not fear do not agree with that as Allah cough

May Allah grant is for us we'd get the news of Jana right there.

will have whatever you may ask for a noozle a welcome from Allah for
