			a salam o Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Bismillah R Rahman Rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was
Salam ala rasulillah what Allah Allah He was happy to Jemaine my brothers and sisters, Allah
Subhana. Allah to Allah has created within us the love of certain things. People love, for example,
their conveyance. People love wealth, they like gold and silver, for example, people love the
opposite * and so many other things that people love. But Allah subhanho wa Taala says that if you
were to be conscious of Allah while trying to get that which you love, then you would definitely be
in comfort, in contentment. And in the Hereafter, we will grant you paradise. But if you were to try
		

			and go and get those things that you love, through means that are unacceptable. A person loves a
motor vehicle, he goes to steal, a person likes another person and goes to commit adultery or
fornication. Then Allah says you're plunging yourself into destruction, and you will take away your
happiness. In fact, there will be a crisis. When someone goes to steal, they're worried about the
long arm of the law. When a person were to commit adultery or fornication, they are worried about so
many other things at a certain point. So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us, we know that the love of
these things is within you. But don't follow the devil's beautification of it in the wrong way.
		

			Rather, go for it in the most beautiful way. And this is why when Allah mentions these things, gold
and silver, and the horses meaning the conveyance in verse number 14 of surah, Allah Eman
immediately after that in verse number 15, Allah says, owner be open behind him in Polycom, should
we tell you what is better for you, then all of these things if they were to be achieved in the
wrong way levena
		

			be him.
		

			For those who are conscious of Allah is indeed paradise. What that means is when you are trying to
achieve these things, you must be conscious of Allah, the rules, the regulations, the do's, the
don'ts that he has laid, are not laid there in order for you to be distressed, but they are there in
order to govern your life and make it beautiful, so that you can achieve comfort at all times. And
this is why immediately after that Allah speaks about those who are conscious of him. They
constantly pray to Him, what do they say? Or banner in? Nana?

			Suhana LA, they say, Oh our Lord, we have believed in you. We have believed in you. So therefore
forgive us. So they're actually letting Allah know that we believe in you. So we expect you to
forgive us. Yes, that's correct. You're a believer in Allah. Well, you can expect that from Allah
because you believe in him. And Allah says, they say so forgive our sins, and save us from the
punishment of hellfire. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all my brothers and sisters, it's
very important that when we get what we want, we actually should be getting it through the correct
means. In the same way that when a person breaks the law of the land to get what they want, they
		

			would be living in constant fear. While the same would apply if one were to disregard the laws of
Allah subhanho wa Taala a different type of fear and perhaps something totally different may
overtake that person. May Allah Subhana Allah to Allah grant us protection.
		

			Allah subhanho wa Taala in verse number 26 of surah Allah Imran tells us who owns Kingdom who owns
authority on land, and who is the one who elevates people. Allah says subhanho wa Taala only in
		

			Quito,
		

			Tasha.
		

			Tasha, what is Zuma? Tasha to the lumen Tasha
		

			be a deacon
		

			in NACA Allah Konishi
		

			Cody, say, Oh Allah. Allah is the owner of Kingdom dominion.
		

			Everything he gives provision and Kingdom authority to whomsoever He wishes. And he takes it away
from whomsoever He wishes. And he raises whomsoever He wishes. And he drops, whomsoever He wishes.
For indeed, all goodness is in the hands of Allah. He is all able and capable.
		

			This verse brings about a lot of comfort because we know that Allah is in control, he raises home,
he wants, he drops home he wants. So if you have been raised, you need to remember Allah can drop
you. So be humble. And if you've been dropped, you need to remember Allah will raise you He is the
one who's able and capable. So develop your relationship with him. Either way, whether you have or
you don't. The secret is to develop your relationship with Allah to remain humble and remain
steadfast. And this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us in verse number 31, of the same surah
that the winner is He who follows what the messenger has actually taught. If you really love Allah,
		

			then you need to prove that love by following what the messenger has taught. Listen to verse number
31. All in
		

			don't do him. Boone Allah have had Debbie Rooney, Bieber como la jolla, Villa Congo, Nova como la.
		

			Say, if you love Allah, then follow me and Allah will love you and forgive your sins For indeed he
is most forgiving, Most Merciful, amazing verse of the Quran simply because we will only achieve
comfort through the love of Allah.
		

			The crises will only be alleviated by the help of Allah. And in order to love Allah, we need to
follow what the messenger has taught. And this is why what we said today of getting what you want
through legitimate means legal means is very, very important. Now I want to move on to something
unique, you know, the wife of Iran, this surah is named after the family of a man. So the wife of a
man was the mother of Mary, the Virgin Mary, who was the mother of Jesus Christ, or Isa alayhis
salaam May peace be upon him. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, the mother of Mary, used to pray to
Allah to say, Oh Allah, if you bless me with offspring, I will actually sacrifice this offspring for
		

			your cause. And Allah blessed her with a girl child Subhana Allah, a girl child. Now many times
people want to have boys, some want to have girls, Allah says, You know what? It's in me it's in my
hands. It's up to me what I'm going to do. Allah blessed her with the girl that girl was Marian
something unique used to happen to Maria marry, the mother of Jesus May peace be upon them both.
Something amazing used to happen. Zakaria used to take care of her. And she was in her own space or
place of worship.
		

			And every time she was in that place of worship, when Zakaria used to go there, he used to find with
her some food, where did you get this food from? It was fruit, what type of fruit fruit that was out
of season so Han Allah, it's not even a seasonal fruit. So who brought it for you? It couldn't have
been a human being. So every time the courier went to this place of worship, to see Mary Maryam, as
she grew older, and she was young, he saw fruit with her That was amazing. Strange. So he asked her,
where did you get this from? Verse number 38. She says, who I mean in a in a La Jolla, Rosa Coleman,
Yeshua Obi Wan.
		

			It is from Allah. Allah gives whomsoever He wishes without account. So when you pray to Allah, He
gives you that which people consider impossible. That's what Zakaria learned immediately. If I were
to pray to Allah, Allah will give me something that others might consider impossible. Your faith
will carry you during times of crisis, my beloved brothers and sisters, your faith, keep
supplicating and have conviction in Allah He is the one
		

			if he granted fruit and vegetable to Mary or some types of food to the to Mary, the mother of Jesus,
when she prayed and she was close to him, Do you think he cannot create a miracle for you and I look
at zecharia he immediately saw that and he knew he doesn't have offspring, male offspring to carry
his lineage. So hoonah Lika de aza carry. The next verse, Allah subhanho wa Taala says in verse
number 38, Allah says at that juncture, Zakaria immediately called out to Allah. He says, Oh my
Lord, I want progeny. I need you to give me progeny. You know, children who will carry my name and
continue with the goodness for India.
		

			Do you hear the prayer or be heavily carried
		

			by in Kashmir?
		

			Oh my Lord grant me progeny from you. Good pure progeny For indeed you, you hear all the prayers, he
was inspired by Mary Maria May peace be upon him. He knew he was old, his wife was barren, and at
the same time he wanted a child. So he called out to Allah, the angels called Zakaria and informed
him that you know what good news. Allah is going to bless you with a child called yahia john
Subhana, Allah, may peace be upon them all. Imagine, he now didn't know what to do because his wife
was old, she was barren, and at the same time, he is calling out to Allah, and Allah has given it to
him and Allah says Your wife is expecting Whoa, what am I going to do? How am I going to face the
		

			people I'm so old, so panela. But the point I've learned here is look at how he was inspired by Mary
who called out to Allah May peace be upon her and look at how he's calling out to Allah and now he's
gotten something that others would have considered impossible. So there is nothing impossible for
Allah. nothing impossible for Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Oh Zakaria, we are giving you
good news of a child he immediately says How will I face my people give me a sign Subhana Allah,
there was a crisis. What was the crisis? The crisis was Yes, he they were given the goodness. But
now facing people sometimes is a crisis. A person goes through some hardship. A person has made some
		

			money sometimes people will start spreading rumors. How do I protect myself from those rumors? So
Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed amazing verses to teach him what to do. And it's important that we
understand what has just happened. The blessings of Allah were given to someone and he's facing a
new crisis. What about people? I'm sure a lot of us get worried sometimes you're not supposed to
worry. Look what Allah subhanho wa Taala teaches us inshallah, in the next episode, we will look at
that, until then. Aku Kohli hada sallallahu wasallam Allah Baraka, Alana Vina Mohammed
