00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			But that that in
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			that in that era, were called Avada that you
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:21
			firm
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:32
			especially the brothers and sisters. I ask Allah subhanaw taala gather doesn't just imagine,
together as you're going to see the Muslim. So
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			Allah subhanho wa Taala out of his wisdom.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			He mentioned
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			many stories in the Quran.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			And these stories, my brothers and sisters,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			they are not bedtime stories. These are stories to read.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			Understand,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:06
			reflect and implement in your life. Allah subhanaw taala said love and care in a fearful sassy him
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			in their stories, there was
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:26
			lesson not to everybody Hey Broughton, literally two men of understanding. Another place Allah
subhanaw taala told us thoughts was in the process of law I lovingly
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:34
			read the stories, so they can ponder so they can reflect. So these stories has one.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			We read them
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:43
			many many many times but they do not do anything. They don't change anything our life.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			Today, I will mention a story that we all know
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			we have gone home
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			but we have the data element the help of Allah subhanaw taala your whole concept about the story
will change and they will not
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:09
			We will leave today with some plan to implement that story in our life. The story is
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			the story of Musa Annie Saran and the stick
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:22
			we all know the story. Musa had to stick was tapping your right hand through the stick and became a
state.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			Let's check the story in a completely different manner
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			can be any any case?
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			Allah has asked you moosari Sir, what is that in your right hand? Yeah.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:57
			Allah Subhana Allah, Allah, absolutely. He knows what's in his right hand. He's the one who created
the hand. He's the one who created the stick, and he's the one who created Musa and he is
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:14
			but he wants to bring our attention and Moses attention to that stick because that stick will have a
long story many stories in the Quran. When Martin Kalyani Musa what is that your right hand the
apostle Musa is ramset
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			foreigner here also
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			this is my stage, every letter in the Quran matters.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:35
			When I tell you what is this, you say it's o'clock. What is this, this is a carpet. But when I asked
you about your phone, he said this is my phone.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			When he said this is outside, that means it's important.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			It's not just any any hassle, this is my skin color here.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			And then he went on saying
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:57
			how important that stick in his life
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			he has
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			I use it to lean on your
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:13
			when somebody uses a stick to lean on, that means he does not leave it every 10 steps he needed
every single step of the way.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			Running and you're Allah I use that stick
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:34
			to hit the tree and the tree will make the leaves when I hit it, the leaves are the fruits will drop
this way My sheep my goats will eat
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			when he if he had to offer up.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:08:13
			And also Allah have many other uses, if not best for the ALLAH and he said he used to kill if there
is a harmful insect to the floor is to hit it with it. He used to get the wolves away from his
sheep, he used to stick it in the ground and put something on top and use it for sharing. So he has
many other uses for this stick. What we conclude is that stick is of vital importance to moosari
Center.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			If you see your son
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:24
			sitting in the living room, and you see something in his hand, and you say my son What is that in
your right hand? It tells you this is my iPad.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:49
			I use it to do my homework. I use it to check my email and I play some games with it. This is my
Father This is very important to him. What do you tell him? You tell him make sure you put him in a
safe place. Be very careful what happened here after Musala he indicated to Allah how important that
stick but he said I will tell
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:57
			you Allah just finished explaining to you how important it is to me you tell me to cast it throw it
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:04
			When did Musa say that he said let me think about it the same
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			the same way What
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			did he say your Allah what you're going to give me instead if I throw it away
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			give me them you think about it. No, no.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			This
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			is God saying
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			that infomedia instance
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:31
			on behalf
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			he fluid
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			that he that he hates
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:51
			it became not only a state, a rapidly moving snake. Very scary.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:53
			Very
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			rapidly moving snake
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			For either here or here to this
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			call the hood have
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:14
			Allah told him take it already don't be afraid you're on board.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:23
			When I told you how important it is to me, you told me to throw it and now it becomes a snake and
you're telling me to take it
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			off somewhere you do have sea otter and
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			we're going to return it
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			to its original state. It will go back
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			to your favorite stick
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			whatever it is
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			did not hesitate at all.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			A simple non law
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:59
			being truthful for Allah subhanaw taala and being truthful with your inand Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:15
			being truthful in your salon in your record in your hygiene in every form of a burger, truthful done
sincerely for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala obedience to Allah do it yes sir. Well upon
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			now the question is
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			what does the stick of Musa represent in your life?
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			Is it that haram job you are afraid to leave?
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:40
			Is that the job? You're so worried to wear? Because what they're gonna say about me are the is the
stick of moose and your wife does cigarettes, he can't quit.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:49
			Is it those contracts of riba that you are signing, whatever it is, drop it, drop it for the sake of
Allah.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			Whatever it is,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:06
			have complete trust in Allah subhana wa Tada. This is the main lesson from the story. Okay. And when
you do that
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:16
			instantly, things will become dandy. It's gonna take some time.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			It's never one test. It's always few tests after each other.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:29
			If you left that job, because it's how you want to stay four or five months without a job.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:37
			You might be going around and asking brothers, please, I need help. I'm behind on my rent.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:44
			Allah wants to know how sincere and how truthful you are with him. If you really leave it for him.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			When you put your hijab
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			it might be tough in the beginning, you might some you might get some dirty blocks.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			You might hear some some ugly remarks.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			If you take it off your favorite test.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:21
			There's a couple of tests. One of the brothers think they should hire. I know many of them. The
first thing is they got kicked out of their house. Nobody took shahada and he went back home to his
non Muslim family and they won't cut them welcome them and put the red carpet. Nobody is going to be
thrown out of his house.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:37
			Many friends will be gone. He might lose his job. This is the this is the way he goes. When it comes
to Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala wants to check how truthful Are you? Why? Because Allah subhana wa
Tada said in the end if
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			me
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			a Turaco ie
		
00:13:51 --> 00:14:04
			10 on, do you think you're going to call the believer very high status and you're not going to be
tested. As even NASA I used to look over your total airman. Well, now you've done
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:05
			what?
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			I've been published him while I was doing that.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			We are testing everyone before we have 100
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:26
			When I am in the Caribbean, but Allah subhanaw taala to know who is truthful in his ADA to Allah and
who is lying
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			who's truthful in his ADA to Allah
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			and who is lying.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			Now, let's go back to the story
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			when musante is
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			trying to take the snake
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			that did bite him,
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			did throw poison on him.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			It's going back to the favorite stick.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			But please be patient
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			Be patient.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:06
			If you hear all these things are going on around us against this law, be patient.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:21
			The victory is for this team. Just be patient, have certainty and certainty in your heart. Keep
doing what you're doing. Keep getting close to Allah subhanaw taala and you will never ever be
disappointed. Now
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:30
			the message we get from this first part is draw what is dear to you.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			But it's how long
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:42
			for the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala and Allah will replace you with something that there is
something that
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			he knows what it is, because we think
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			it could be a better job. It could be a
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			better health.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:15
			Allah knows what's better for you. Allah subhanho wa Taala knows when is the best time for you to be
rich. When is the best time for you to be cured? Allah subhanho wa Taala knows his Dallin is the
hatin all I did is I follow his orders, and I put my trust in Him.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:25
			Now the best thing that ever happened to Musa alayhis salam after he passed the test is that his
Eman in Allah increased?
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			How do we see that?
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:43
			First in the first situation, Allah subhanaw taala told her to drop the stick and became a snake.
This is the first test
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			what did he do?
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:47
			Well
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:59
			the first level when became a snake, he ran away he did not even look back. He was very scared.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			I don't want to get you
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			to think and see how.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			Who says either a salon is developing.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			Now the second situation.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			Second place, he threw the stick.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			It was in front of 1000s of people
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			and in front of perfect
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			professional magicians.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:34
			They have done an immaculate act of magic
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			and he's standing in front of them
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			and he threw the stick you can imagine.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:48
			Allah subhanaw taala told him we're LP Murphy and Enid Taluk cough now Salah
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:54
			almost throw us in your right hand, it will expose their drinks.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			It will swallow all these things.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:06
			At that time. What happened? Musa alayhis salam, I will just have enough see if he
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:19
			was little bit afraid. Even though the situation on the occasion needs more fear in front of
professional magicians in front of 1000s of people. Allah says I will Jessa a little bit of fear.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			You know we've come to the third situation it
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:25
			is developing.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			The third situation is very tough. Musa Ali he said
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			he has very slow he went
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			and they are running
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:46
			on his shoulders behind him the ocean in front of him very tough situation and the people
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:53
			that were with Musa they will not make things easy for Allah subhanho wa
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			sallam
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:12
			and when the two armies or two groups now they are seeing they can see each other the people I was
Musa they said
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:35
			we're going to be overtaken he's going to take us yeah Rosa when we used to wash his dishes and take
care of his affairs. They used to slaughter our babies. How about we are running away from him what
he's going to do to us Yeah, Musa Musa. We will have been told before you came to us and we will
have no trouble when you came to us. Yeah, Musa What should we do?
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:43
			Now it was obvious that I'm the one who passed all the tests. What he said.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			He said
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:49
			that can
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			Don't worry.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			He did not say I had my stick with me.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			He did.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:24
			Nothing I had the stick Don't worry. This is the stick that when you hit it in the story 12 strings
will explode. This is the stick that I control in the bus Seder. And this is a lesson for every
successful brother and successful sister. Don't ever think that the success is because of your
degree or because of your money or because of your health. I always
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:30
			attribute the success back to Allah this is all from Allah He said Khan Academy
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			Allah is with me and he's gonna show me the way
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			Allah has with me
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:48
			and he's going to show me the way what happened yeah. When the Imam is so strong and Allah what
happened
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			hyena again
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			that infotrie instantly fell
		
00:20:59 --> 00:20:59
			in
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			an employee can
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			Musa the motion with your stick?
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			Instantly when he said Allah has with me?
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			I don't have to worry. The ocean with your state. What happened?
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20
			What happened? Hola Hola, como con
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:33
			Encanto de la vie. The ocean split. Every side is like a mountain. Now to Fortune. Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah told Musa
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			he told him
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:51
			yeah Musa because of your trusting me. Not only I'm gonna go make you go through this fast without
