Morad Awad – Allah’s Mercy is Plentiful

So, for those who do not know I, when I lived, I lived in Riyadh in

Saudi Arabia, back in 2012. And I was a teacher in King Saudi

University. So in my first semester, my students knew that I

knew how to speak Arabic. So they, they comfortably started to speak

with me in Arabic. And by the end of the semester, they didn't

improve their English language skills the way they should have.

So I asked some of the teachers who are experienced and they told

me, No, don't tell them you speak Arabic, because then they'll

comfortably just talk to you in Arabic. They tell him Okay, so I'm

just going to talk to them in English inshallah.

So I want the next semester, like, Oh, do you know Arabic notes talk

to me in English. I only speak English. And let's get back to the

books. So they would be talking I had a designated translator in

class. I told him, Hey, machete, can you translate this? This word

into Arabic, so they understand, and some harm I had to act like I

don't know any audibly. So the whole semester passed and hum the

leather English got better. They learned the subject they were

learning and everything. So they're like, Mr. Murad, we want

to take you and another teacher and a few of our students out to a

place called Samana. Tamara is a place where they you know, a lot

of sand dunes, soft sand, they do some drifting and whatnot. And I

went with one of my friends. One of my students, fg cruiser, he had

a, he had a Toyota, bunch of pickup trucks is like four cars.

We went out to the desert, we shot targets, had fun, coffee dates,

everything.

Now, why I'm mentioning this story,

on our way back, they said, Mr. Murad, can we drift? This is what

we do here. That's, that's our culture. I'm like, Yeah, you know,

just don't go crazy. You know, you could drift. So then we go on this

huge sand dune Hill SubhanAllah. I'm sitting in the front seat, my

seat belts off. And, you know, as usual, because in Saudi Nobody

puts their seatbelt on, you know, that's just the corner, you put

your seatbelt on, you just become a whack person, you know, they

look at you, like stop for the lobby. Because this guy do. So I

was sitting in the front, and my, my, my legs are crossed, right in

the passenger seat. And one of my students driving out to crazy

students in the back the craziest and I don't know how I got this

lineup all in one car, the three craziest students in one car. So

we're going down this huge sand dune at like 90 kilometers an

hour.

And then he starts drifting.

Right? And it was nice at first.

Then by the second turn the car, it starts to tip over and I'm

like, Leila is finished here. This is my time it's over. You know,

I'm gonna be buried inside the sin. And subhanAllah the car tips

over and it starts rolling. And I think it rose like two or three

times, I don't know. But we were like mid air and then it was

slamming and up and up. And it was just crazy. Subhanallah but

somehow, miraculously, it landed on the four wheels, right? The

student of mine, the driver, his head was under my my legs, like

all the way under, right under the glove compartment. Right. The

other crazy students I don't know what they were smoking. But they

were actually happy. It was flipping they will say good. Oh,

we go you know, like, like, like it was part of the stunt or

something. So I don't know what what these kids were on. But by

the time he got out, one of them had his arm broken. This guy had a

bruise on his head, me my knee and my head. Like I was bleeding in my

head and my knee Subhanallah was, it was crazy. Because the glass

shattered. I come out the car. And I'm just sitting down and

everybody's like, Oh, get some water. You guys. Okay? Pull them

out. Everyone's gathered up and I'm just sitting by myself. You

know, I'm like, Oh, my God, I can't believe this just happened

is my first year in Saudi Arabia. Right? And they come to me now all

this my students from the other cars and they're just huddled up

around me. I'm like Murad, teacher, moron. Are you? You okay?

And then I just look up at him. And I speak to them and out of you

know, yes. And I start I started telling you imbeciles, you know,

like an oddity, you foolish. It was the biggest mistake to come

out with you guys were like, You guys are crazy. And then and then

they just, you know, they just stare at me. And their, their jaws

dropped.

And then that crazy student who was you know, who never said

anything that made sense the whole semester. This kid, he's like, he

got hit so hard. He speaks Arabic.

Well, I and then all

These guys start cracking up while I just became a fun, funny moments

with Han Allah. And that was my experience with the accident. But

what's his Shuddh? Now Subhan Allah is how Allah subhanaw taala

sends his looks and his Rama, right? You see how, like, the

saddest moments can be not so sad, depending on how you look at them.

Right? So like, you know, I got into this accident with those

motorcycles I got upstanding and harmed a lot of damage and so many

people are paralyzed, they have they lose limbs and they stay.

They stay for their whole life you know, suffering from this one

accident and Allah with His Divine Mercy you just saved you. Same

thing with that Subhanallah people come out in pieces, right the car

flipped two or three times and then we just come out and somehow

from Allah as Rama became a laughing moment, and everybody's

just chillin joking around handle everyone's doing okay, everyone

was alive. But this is the Rama Avila guys when we look at our

situation, we always have to see Allah's mercy. We have to see

Allah's Mercy manifested in that situation. If we don't put the

lens of Allah's Mercy on, we're always going to live a life of

sadness and depression and anxiety. We're always going to be

stressed out, we're always going to be in the state of grief. But

if we, if we actually put that lens of Allah's mercy, not only

will you live a better life, but Allah will reward you for

remembering Him and His mercy in every situation. Well, can they

add their own inner Robin Robin? Right. They in times of ease and

in times of hardship, they prayed and they remembered me that's what

Allah saying. Right? Well cantilena Harsha in and they had

the state of shoot with us. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to put

these lens these lenses on of seeing Allah's Rama His mercy

manifested in every situation possible you know, and when we see

this like it's and we don't want to help brothers

take off the lens either. If someone ALLAH blessed him with

this lens, don't help like go to Oh, yeah, you know, you're

injured.

So sad. No, I feel bad. Yeah. Okay. 100 No, no, no, I'm gonna

save me. I'm gonna hamdulillah My body's gonna walk in the door.

This is not a big deal. I'm gonna let right so help your brother.

Right when you see somebody in the state of trial going through a

hardship or something. Go and help them if their lenses aren't on you

put those glasses on for them. Tell me how you Allah hamdulillah

look what Allah gave you mashallah, you still have this you

have a ton that that you remember Allah with you have this you have

that Allah has given you so much Allahu Akbar hamdulillah Al

Hamdulillah right and you help them put it on you know? And this

is the Rama of Allah subhanho wa Taala May Allah subhanaw taala
