Mohammad Elshinawy – The Days of God

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh everyone out there 1100 11 sottozero so Allah I pray you're
well and preparing for your best Ramadan ever in sha Allah tala, this is one year or Milan will not
catch us off guard vanilla.
		

			And I asked Allah subhanaw taala to bless you and your your preparations and to bless you and your
loved ones. In these coming days, spiritually and mentally and emotionally and physically, and
everything in between.
		

			Just I'll keep it extra short this evening. But something that I've been thinking about since the
beginning of this crisis, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, with a cure whom be a year Mila, and remind
the people about the days of God, what are the days of God because all days belong to Allah subhanho
wa Taala, even the greatest day of all the Day of Judgment. But the days of God, are the days when
God became most manifest in our dunya in our worldly lives, when the the power of Allah and the
control of Allah
		

			and the retribution of Allah, like, for example, the day of the flood of Moses, this is an obvious
day
		

			of God, the days of the destruction of the parish nations. But this does not discount or dismiss the
fact that any day when
		

			God's all mightiness becomes crystal clear and extra evident that it could be a day of God. And that
is why we would not be venturing very far to say that we are living in a unique historical moment,
that we should understand what we're living, so that we can live that moment properly. I mean, span
a lot, I'll leave How great is a law that
		

			he ended the debates and he silenced the arguments with an event with an event not with a statement.
		

			And he exposed our collective arrogance as the modern world. And our demand for an explanation of
God or demands that God's demands be reduced to an hour a week or all of these ills of prosperity, a
laws religion has shown us
		

			just how exposed the just how vulnerable just how transgressive.
		

			We are and we can be and we continue to be the moment we forget him, as he said elsewhere in the
Quran. Kela in the in Santa lietuva ambra, who still don't know, certainly the human being will
always transgress when he feels himself self sufficient, like has no needs. And Allah subhanho wa
Taala showed us that at the height of our advancement at the height of modernity, we are as needy
and as vulnerable and as powerless as ever. And so we must be very careful about this moment that we
are living that many people in the modern era died before they saw. This is a huge deal and what
comes after this moment.
		

			And this glaring reminder will also be critical. Because a lot zoa Jen said you know in the verse
where I mentioned to you a week ago, Allah subhana wa tada said, why is it that when our punishment
came to them, they didn't show their brokenness? Do you know what the very next verse says? The very
next verse says
		

			furama nesu Mazda keuro bp. But then after that their hearts were hard. And then when they forgot
the reminder yet again, even after the punishment, they forgot the reminder that they were reminded
with What does Allah say? What is the punishment fatahna I lay him everywhere but Cooley shade we
opened up for them we expanded for them the gates of everything. After they forgot their mind there
you think it's going to say we annihilated them, it says, We open the floodgates of prosperity for
them.
		

			And then when they completely forgot
		

			what they were here for forgot their purpose forgot their mission forgot their origin and their
destination. We took them suddenly
		

			for them.
		

			30 habima oh two and once they rejoice with the return of prosperity or with increased prosperity,
we * them suddenly. And so we need to be extremely careful about getting use to the lockdown
and just saying okay, hamdulillah not too bad. It's all right here. We got this under control of you
know, a few more days, a few more weeks and things will be back to normal. That is an extremely
dangerous mindset to have. Because back to normal
		

			More, or what we call normal is the exact thing that a lot shattered for us using this Corona
lockdown normal was not a good place, you know the discussion on proving God's existence the
discussion to some extent not entirely, but to some extent even gender. These are signs of
entitlement signs of privilege. In crises no one talks about these things no one speaks about
atheism. No one speaks about you know, like just arbitrary gender reassignment or fluidity and these
things are supposed SERP superfluids is the word right, they are extra. They are when you feel like
you're in full control and you have everything in your hands, you begin to slip into this ugly
		

			arrogant state of playing God. And that is what we need to immunize ourselves from. And that has to
happen before Corona ends. Like what aggressive changes will I make in my life
		

			to further and advance myself as the subject of God as the subservient submissive, devout servant of
Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			It is not just some dirt we're going to make it is not just some wait time and it's a quick fix a
life hack like everything else in our life. No, our life has a grand purpose and Allah has chosen us
and esteemed us, if we are to realize that and if not, then we will plummet beneath even the animals
and we will be subjected to a punishment the likes of which
		

			many nations have never seen. So May Allah azza wa jal help us wake up
		

			more and more with every brand new day remove the dust off of us, you know, rub off of this rust,
get past the fact that yes, we are being arrogant. Yes, we are taking things too lightly. Yes, we
are at a juncture a crossroads whether we're going to get closer to Allah, or we can potentially be
sealed off. May Allah forbid, at a point of seemingly no return.
		

			May Allah help us in you
		

			and make us worthy to be slaves. Allah amin said I want a grotto
