Sometimes, and this is what we ask the

00:00:02--> 00:00:05

almighty to protect us from, if your hardship

00:00:05--> 00:00:08

drifts you away from the almighty, it's actually

00:00:08--> 00:00:11

it could be the beginning of some punishment.

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

When you have hardship,

00:00:15--> 00:00:16

don't pick a war with Allah.

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

He is your Lord. He knows

00:00:20--> 00:00:22

people better than you have been through bigger

00:00:22--> 00:00:24

problems than yours and they've sailed through it.

00:00:24--> 00:00:26

The prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, the

00:00:26--> 00:00:29

best of all, the highest should I say.

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

Jesus, may peace be upon him. 1 of

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

the top 5.

00:00:34--> 00:00:37

Noah, may peace be upon him. 1 of

00:00:37--> 00:00:40

the top 5. Abraham, Ibrahim, may peace be

00:00:40--> 00:00:41

upon him. 1 of the top 5.

00:00:43--> 00:00:44

SubhanAllah.

00:00:47--> 00:00:49

Moses, Musa alaihis salam, one of the top

00:00:49--> 00:00:51

5. I've mentioned all the 5 now. Right?

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

Masha'Allah.

00:00:55--> 00:00:58

They all went through challenge upon challenge. Go

00:00:58--> 00:00:59

and read about the pharaoh. Go and read

00:00:59--> 00:01:01

about the Romans and how they treated Jesus.

00:01:01--> 00:01:03

May peace be upon him. Go and read

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

about Quraysh and what they did to Muhammad

00:01:05--> 00:01:06

peace be upon him. Go and read about

00:01:06--> 00:01:09

the parents of Ibrahim, his father and his

00:01:09--> 00:01:11

community and what they did to him. We

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

have faced nothing as compared to them.

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

They were loved by Allah. So if Allah

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

does it to whom He loves, He says

00:01:17--> 00:01:19

it clearly to us. When I love you,

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

I'll test you. And when you when you

00:01:21--> 00:01:23

when there is a greater reward for you,

00:01:23--> 00:01:24

the test is a bit bigger. Just like

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

the school. It's a good example if you

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

think of it.

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

You want a bigger certificate. Well, you've got

00:01:29--> 00:01:31

to be asked some difficult questions. You're gonna

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

have to go and do some research. You're

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

going to have to write a thesis. It's

00:01:34--> 00:01:35

going to take you a few years. You're

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

going to sweat. You're going to spend money

00:01:37--> 00:01:39

and energy and effort and whatever. But after

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

that, you're going to have a title perhaps

00:01:41--> 00:01:42

and you might be able to get a

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

better job and a better salary for a

00:01:44--> 00:01:47

little while. The similar rule applies when you

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

have done that and sacrificed your time, your

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

money, your energy, your effort in order to

00:01:51--> 00:01:54

please Allah. Allah gives you a certificate. You

00:01:54--> 00:01:55

have a title next to your name and

00:01:55--> 00:01:56

you enter into the hereafter

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

and you will get not just a job

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

or

00:01:59--> 00:02:01

a or a salary. You get everything you

00:02:01--> 00:02:03

wish for and you want.

00:02:03--> 00:02:04

But it's an effort.

00:02:03--> 00:02:04

But it's an effort.
