he was early he was was shot while Amorim of data to her Wakulla modesetting Bidda what could be
dirty and Allah Allah all praises due to Allah, we praise Him. We seek his aid and we ask for his
forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:48
			In the evil consequences of our actions, whom ever Allah guides, none can lead astray. And
whomsoever alarm is guides, none can show him guidance. I testify that there is no one worthy of
worship, but the Almighty Allah alone. And I bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa early
he was ALLAH is His servant and His Messenger or you who believe, fear Allah as you should be feared
and die not except in a state of submission to your Lord as Muslims, or mankind. be dutiful to your
Lord who created you from a single person. And from him he created his wife and from them both, he
created many men and women, and fear Allah through whom you demand your mutual rights and observe
		
00:05:48 --> 00:06:26
			the rights of your kin. Surely Allah is ever an old watcher over you, or you who believe. Keep your
duty to Allah fear him and speak the truth. He will direct you to righteous deeds and will forgive
your sins, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed attained a great achievement. The
best words are those of Allah. And the best guidance is that of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa early
he was salam. And the worst things in the religion are the newly invented matters. For all the newly
invented matters in religion, are considered to be an innovation and bidder and every bidder is
misguidance.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:07:12
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam was with his great companion Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu Anhu. And
they were fleeing Makkah. They were trying to escape. They were running for their lives. And Uber
cuddly Allahu Anhu was so concerned to the point as they were riding towards Medina, Abu Bakr Radi
Allahu Anhu would keep turning around looking backwards. And he was concerned about people who are
chasing them. And sometimes he would go in front of the Prophet SAW Selim out of fear that they were
ambushed, sometimes to the right to the profits are seldom sometimes to the left out of his concern.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:54
			And the Prophet SAW said MCs Abubaker he's so concerned and he says, what's going on? Yeah, Abubaker
he says, All Messenger of Allah, I remember that people are chasing us. So I decide to be behind you
just in case that I would be the shield for you. And sometimes I remember there might be ahead of
us, they might have ambushed us. So I get in front of you. I don't want any harm to touch you. I
want to be different. I want to I want to sacrifice myself for you. Sometimes I remember the might
approaches from the right or the left. So you find me positioning myself in that direction. Then the
Prophet SAW Selim comes over and he says, What do you think? Mother NACA Bethanien. Allahu Thadeus.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:35
			Homer, he says in the la hermana. Allah has an in Allah Hama, Anna. He says, Oh, look, I don't fear
don't be concerned Allah is with us. Allah is with us in the most difficult moments, the prophets,
Allah Allah when he was salam had hope in Allah subhanho wa taala. During the Battle of Allah 100
When the Muslims were surrounded, there was a siege set around the Muslims just before that, the
Prophet SAW Salem instructed the Muslims to dig a trench out round Medina to protect themselves. And
it wasn't an easy task. And sometimes, they came across some hurdles, huge, massive rocks that they
couldn't break that they could not destroy. They would come to they would approach the Prophet SAW
		
00:08:35 --> 00:09:19
			Selim to help them out. And one day the prophets of Allah Islam strikes one of the massive rocks and
he says Allahu Akbar, to my fatty haggis, Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allah, Allah to my fatty Hashem,
Allahu Akbar, or at least to my fatty helium, and that most difficult time when the Muslims were
completely taken by fear, they were surrounded, they were outnumbered, there was suffering from lack
of food and lack of tools and lack of finances. It was such a difficult time. Yet the Prophet
sallallahu sallam was giving the Muslims glad tidings that promising them that I was given the keys
to Persia. I was given the keys to a sham natural Syria, I will be given dominance over Yemen.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:43
			It was unthinkable. Yet the Prophet SAW Selim in the most difficult times, he had hope in Allah
subhanho wa taala. Before that, during the time of are in Mecca, and we said some of the companions
approach the prophets of salaam Allah kebab, explaining to the Prophet salallahu Salam, the
predicament, the pain, the persecution that they were going through, and they said, O Messenger of
Allah make to
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:59
			call upon Allah that He brings an in brings an end soon soon he brings an end to this suffering. Yet
the Prophet SAW Selim teaches the companions the lesson, that things are in the hands of Allah, the
prophets of salaam had he didn't only have have hope, but he had
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			certainty that this was that the that the
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:52
			that the relief from Allah subhanaw taala was going to come the question wasn't about whether it was
going to come or not. But it was when? And the answer to this question is with Allah subhanaw taala
it's not up to us. I want to share with you some of the details of the story of Prophet Musa Allah
his story that all of us know or at least should know. And Allah subhanaw taala talks about this. In
the Quran. Allah refers to Phil own and his helpers and his supporters. Allah subhanaw taala refers
to them that they have divided people in the field I wanna I left out of the way she you're still a
football if at a minimum with a homeboy yesterday and he sat at home in a hookah and I mean and move
		
00:10:52 --> 00:11:11
			city. Allah talks about for ona that he had sought such a high position that he has, he had that he
oppressed people, he was a tyrant, he sought complete and pure dominance over people. And how did he
do that? By dividing people into groups and factions.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:12:01
			If Arona Allahu Akbar, Allah, Allah has Shia, he turned people into factions into groups fighting
against one another. And that's the rule of old tyrants divide and conquer, divide and conquer.
That's the same thing that for one used the same thing that all tyrants and concurrence and conquer
has resorted to, and that was to divide people amongst themselves so you can dominate over them. And
this is what's happening today. This is what happened in what's happening today, when Muslims are
divided into groups, into nationalities, into ideologies, into ethnicities, into languages, into
cultures, into neighborhoods, sometimes, it's keeping the Muslims divided.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:12
			And this is how they can be subjugated. This is how they can be controlled and dominated. That's
what we did. And then for our own
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:31
			use, too, because he had a dream about one of the children of Israel that he will grow, and he will
overtake the throne of Iran. So for our own decided upon the advice of some of his helpers, To Kill
every boy that is born into the children of Israel,
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:48
			to guarantee that no one would take over the throne, to guarantee his own dominance, yet, you can't
win against Allah subhanaw taala you can take all the measures, you can have all the power, you can
have all the reach you want.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:13:09
			And you can do everything you think will protect you. Yet as Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran,
from the statements of use of Alayhis Salam in Nairobi, Latif only Maga SHA, Allah subhanaw taala is
very subtle in his ways, Allah will get his will to come into full realization
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:20
			but in his own ways, in ways you you can never think about you can never even figure out the will of
Allah subhanaw taala will come true
		
00:13:23 --> 00:14:11
			so, Allah subhanaw taala comments on this. When we do an Amana Allah Allah Dena stood a fulfill
audibly, wanna gyla Hum inmitten wanna gyla Home will worry thin. And we want to show our favor to
the people who have been subjugated the people who have been enslaved the children of Israel at the
time, because Allah subhanaw taala one of his unique attributes is his pride and his might and His
pure dominance is complete dominance over the creation over everything. And anyone who tries to take
a share of that Allah subhanaw taala will destroy them, as in the Hadith, the Divine Hadith and
Hadith. Allah Subhana Allah says anyone who tries to compete against me in dominance,
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:59
			then I shall break their back. So when anyone tries to dominate the world, anyone tries to claim
complete sovereignty over the creation, Allah subhanaw taala will destroy them, but according to his
own timetable, not according to our wishes and desires. That's what Allah subhanaw taala did with
frown. Allah gave him the time as he said, we're only LA home in Niki de Mateen. And I shall give
them the time to complete their oppression and the wrongdoing. And as the Prophet sallallahu sallam
said, in Allah Azza wa Jalla Yummly live volume had either a Harada who will reflect on Allah
subhanaw taala gives free play to the oppressors to the wrongdoers.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			Allah allows them space and time, so that their oppression reaches its full extent.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:16
			And then when Allah subhanaw taala takes them away, he destroys them completely. So sometimes we
look at the world today. We see there are
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:29
			tyrants, there are oppressors. There's a lot of injustice in the world and sometimes we think, why
is Allah subhanaw taala not doing anything about that? The thing is, Allah knows better.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:16:21
			Allah knows better and Allah doesn't work according to our timetable. Allah has wisdom behind
everything that he allows into existence. And if we want to have hope in Allah, we have to trust in
the plan of Allah subhanaw taala not expect Allah to work according to our plan, or according to our
timing. One of the great Imams of Islam. Jaffa Sadhak Rahim Allah hooter, Allah one of the
descendants of Illuminati authority, probably Allah who I know. He said, Allah, Allah, who Bina she
and what Allah the Meenakshi from Allah de who Bina Allahu Ana, one Allah, the whom in now of how to
hula Anna Bella Luna and I still read aubema Allah Who Bina and Radha Homina. He says, ALLAH
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:46
			SubhanA, wa Taala once certain things for us, and He wants certain things from us, certain things
for us, and to certain things from us, meaning that Allah subhanaw taala plan things for us. This is
the father of Allah, that's going to happen in our lives, that's going to happen in our future.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:00
			And Allah wanted certain things from us things that we are supposed to fulfill things that we are
supposed to achieve things that we are supposed to meet certain conditions, certain deeds.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:10
			And he says the things that he wants for us, he has hidden them from us, what's gonna happen to you
tomorrow?
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:21
			What's gonna happen to you in five years time? What's going to happen to you in 10 years time? What
is going, what's going to happen to you on the Day of Judgment?
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:36
			No one knows. That's what Allah wants for you. That's the plan he has for you. But he has hidden
this from you, you have no ways to know the unseen, Allah has kept this knowledge to himself.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:18:17
			And there are things that Allah wants from you. These are the obligations. These are the
prohibitions that you are supposed to avoid abide by. These are the general guidelines that you are
supposed to live by these things he made visible to you, he clarified them to you. Then Jeff al
Assad says, What's wrong with us that we are so preoccupied with what Allah wanted from what Allah
wanted for us, which he hid from us, to the point that we neglect what Allah wanted from us, which
he made clear and visible to us.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:47
			One of the tambourine he said, a se domain inshallah Bhima, OD Allah Who Minho lamb and inshallah
Bhima Allah, Allah who behave, is the one who will really make who will be successful on the Day of
Judgment is the person who keeps himself busy with what Allah wants from him or her. Not the person
who preoccupies themselves with what Allah planned for them.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:27
			Let Allah subhanaw taala do His work, rest, be at peace with what Allah wants for you because Allah
is the best of planners. Sometimes we asked for things and we make the app and we expect expect
Allah subhanaw taala to answer our dua, Yet Allah has a better plan for you. So Allah puts things,
or Allah brings about better things for you than what you wanted in the first place. That's the
wisdom of Allah subhanho wa taala. So trust in Allah. That's what the Prophet SAW. So that's how he
acted. When Habad came to him when the other companions came to him at the time of MK and they said,
O Messenger of Allah, it's got to a point where we can't put up with it anymore. It's unbearable.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:36
			The Prophet SAW Selim says, You are hasty. Allah doesn't work according to your expectations. He has
a better plan. So what you need to do is trust in Allah.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:59
			And Allah Subhana Allah reveals how his plan work plans work out best for you, even when you expect
it the least. And that's what the story of Musa alayhis salam is about. So for around dominated
these people he had complete full dominance over them over the children of Israel Yet Allah subhanaw
taala says when we do a nomina either live in a studio a fulfill up we want to show
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:31
			One of our favor to those who have been subjugated and enslaved when imagine one thing, and we want
to make them the ones who are dominant. We want to give them the positions of leadership. Anyone who
lived at that time, this seemed as an impossibility. You're alasa subhanaw taala says, that's what
we want to. This is what we want for them. This is the plan that Allah had had for them. When they
think we want we want them to inherit dominance over the earth.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:38
			When we met Cain, Allah homefield, establish them on the earth. We're not here for a man.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:48
			And we want to show and demonstrate to the ground, and his supporters and his legions.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:59
			What they were fearing the most, the fact that the children of Israel would dominate over the
Pharaoh and his people. And that's what happened afterwards.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:27
			So when we look around the world, and we see your presses and tyrants dominating the world, not only
at the political level, but even in your personal life, it happens in families, sometimes there is
an abusive father, or abusive mother, or an abusive spouse, or disrespectful child, who is creating
a lot of trouble. Or sometimes a brother or a sister that are creating so much trouble.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:39
			And you can't you can't seem to be able to do much to fix the situation. These people take
advantage. These people are so venomous and poisonous in your life, that they ruin everything in
your life.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:41
			What can you do?
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:51
			Your focus should be on what Allah wants from you, not what Allah wants for you. Because Allah is
gonna take care of that.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:57
			And don't place expectations on Allah what you can do as the prophets Allah wa sallam said,
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:24
			Hara Salah million Phalke, what's the MB Allah he will attaches you seek, you proactively seek and
engage with what is beneficial for you. You see what is beneficial for you in terms of your
relationship with Allah, and in terms of your worldly affairs, as long as they are within the
framework of Islam within the guidelines of Islam, then you seek that and you work hard towards it.
And you do everything within your capacity.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:31
			But whether things end up the way you want or not that Allah thing that's not yours.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:35
			That's what it means you do your work and you leave things with Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			And actually, the fact that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:48
			puts things together for you, Allah plans for you should be a source of comfort and peace in the
hardest.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:58
			It was said by some of a tabby and they were having a discussion. And one of them said
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:06
			that if Allah subhanaw taala gives me a choice on the Day of Judgment, that who is going to judge
me?
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			Is it my parents, or Allah,
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			I will choose Allah.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:18
			I will choose Allah because Allah is more more merciful than my own parents.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:30
			Wish should live in this life. In the same way we approach a loss hunter in this way, we should
never lose hope in Allah subhanaw taala. So what happened afterwards, look at more Sally hustler.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:24:04
			He was originally planned. Like all the children of Israel, the newly newly born children, they were
destined to death. But Allah subhanaw taala inspired the mother of Musa alayhis salam to put them in
a basket and put them on the river. He was carried with to the house of the pharaoh, right to the
hub of all of this oppression, the place where the command to kill all of the boys born into the
children of Israel. This is where the decision originated from. In that house, he comes to the hub
of that decision to the very person who made that decision.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:38
			And what he is adopted in that house. And he is brought up in this house and he's educated in this
house. And then yet after he grows up, and he has this fight with this person and the other person
dies, then he has to flee because they wanted to persecute him. So he is to leave Egypt at the time.
And he moves to live in Midian and imagine he meets new people and then there he gets married and he
has some work to do. He gets a job and he does the work. He's far from his homeland now.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			It seems that
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:59
			his life is just drifting away from his homeland but Allah subhanaw taala brings him back. And as he
was traveling out with his family out of Midian Allah so He has an appointment with Allah subhanaw
taala that he was clueless about, and Allah gives him a mission. And then he scurred it
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			And he goes back to the ground. And he confronts him with a message with the truth.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:42
			Against all odds, he has no power, he has no mind. He has no followers here, even his the people who
are supposed to be his followers, they were the magicians who were supporting for or against him.
They were siding with Iran against Mercedes, Selim. This is the people that he came to rescue in the
first place from the enslavement. And that happens. It happens you find the very people that you're
trying to help. They are the ones who stabbed you in the back, it happens. That's part of life. It's
part of life. But that doesn't mean you stop doing what you're supposed to do. It doesn't mean you
don't act on your mission.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:26:05
			It doesn't mean that you act ethically and morally and you fulfill your obligations to Allah
subhanaw taala. The Prophet sallallahu sallam was injured was physically attacked by his own people.
And what did he say about them? He said, Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola me for anomala Mon. Oh, ALLAH
forgive my people because they don't know. They don't know what they're doing, or Allah forgive
them.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:18
			So we have hope and Allah subhanaw taala. And we have to maintain that hope and live by that hope.
Ye kizoa Hope is not in the immediate conditions that we see.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:27
			Our hope is in the one who makes this reality unfold according to his wisdom. Oh look, only here.
There was an awful lot you were looking for stuff.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:41
			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala Ali. He was one of the
many well that
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:49
			Allah Subhana Allah says in surah, Yusuf quoting Prophet Iacob ne Salam.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:27:11
			He says in Nola Yasumoto, Hilda, Hilda omole, Catherine, that no one loses hope in Allah. But those
who have disbelieved. Those who have disbelieved. And that's why let us we are supposed to have hope
in Allah subhanaw taala and trust that he has the best plan for you and for me.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:17
			Look at use of allihies Salaam, his life went from bad to worse.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:42
			First, he was taken by his own brothers, thrown in the well abandoned in the well then sold into
slavery, then becoming a slave. Then after he grows up, he becomes subjugated to such a great fitna,
such a great trial and temptation, yet he resists resists it. Then afterwards, he gets accused of
the very thing he was trying to avoid that he was being promiscuous.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:58
			So he is convicted, and he's put in prison. Look at the whole thing is from bad to worse. This is
how it seems the immediate situation looks as if it's going just worse, every every moment, every
second, it was just getting worse.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:05
			But we shouldn't be looking at reality only a one level, the immediate level.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:16
			We have to look at reality at multiple levels, because things all the things that seem to be wrong
in your life when they are when when they are strung together.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			When they are threaded together.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:33
			The meaning of them could turn out to be good. And that's what happens when you trust in Allah
subhanaw taala when you connect the dots, what seemed to be harmful, what seemed to be painful, what
seemed to be inconvenient,
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:40
			could actually be for you. And the condition is that you trust in Allah subhanaw taala that you have
hope in Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:45
			and then he was put in prison for such a long time.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:29:14
			His life seemed to be passing by his time was wasted in the prison. This is what it seems to be. But
all of that. Allah subhanaw taala was putting things for him to put him in the perfect positioning
to become one of the most influential people in the world at the time, where he could where he could
offer so much good to people. He could change people's lives. He could save lives by the plan that
he had to deal with the famine.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:28
			That's where trust and hoping Allah subhanaw taala leads people and that's what I'm inviting you to
do. I'm inviting myself as well to do that. Is that Living Hope? Hope in Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:42
