			kulu Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh once again Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was
Salam ala rasulillah. While early he was happy to join my brothers and sisters, many of us don't
thank Allah for what he has bestowed upon us. Sulayman Ali Salaam who was granted so much By Allah,
He calls out to Allah saying, Oh Allah give me the ability to be thankful to you so panela look at
the calmness and contentment that brings to the heart. When you say, Oh my Lord, grant me the
ability to be thankful. One is to be thankful. But before that, know that it is only Allah who can
give you the ability to be thankful to him. So we are asking Allah to grant us that beautiful
		

			ability, verse number 19 of surah Nirmal Suleiman alayhi salam, after making mention of how he spoke
to the ends and how he cared for the ends, and that he didn't want to trample the end. Subhana Allah
today we trample over human beings in the name of Allah. Suleiman Alayhi Salam didn't even trample
over the ends. And they were just small, insignificant creatures, sometimes considered a pest May
Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us. He says, Rob BOC knee and ash qurani meta keleti and Allah
Yahweh Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah and Allah subhanaw taala What are they feeling? What are they
feeling? Nibiru? motyka fi bedika soderling Oh my Lord, give me the ability to be thankful to you to
		

			be thankful to you about the favors that you have bestowed upon me and my parents, and to do good
deeds. Give me the ability to do good deeds or Allah.
		

			deeds that will please you. And Oh Allah, Grant me entry into the circle of worshipers of yours who
are the pious May Allah subhanho wa Taala, grant us piety, may Allah grant us goodness, this is
very, very amazing because it is not asking Allah for for for something more than it is asking for
the ability to do something. So I'm not saying Oh Allah, I thank you or like give me the ability to
thank you. Truly, why the reason is, lip service is simple. Do you really mean what you say? Well,
if you allows granted you the ability to show gratitude properly, you will definitely be able to
follow that with the good behavior, the good deeds and so much more. That Allah subhanho wa Taala
		

			will be pleased with May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us that goodness and contentment, I mean,
now, the contentment of the hereafter will be achieved by those who do good deeds and protect those
good deeds. What is meant by protecting good deeds, when you do a good deed shaytan will come to you
and make you think I'm a big deal. I did a lot of Salah I did a lot of good deeds, these people have
done nothing. And you know what, you start talking about others in a negative way. You abuse people,
you start thinking that there are nothing What happened to your good deed, it was wiped out, it was
given to someone else. When you come on the Day of Judgment, where is your good deed? Not there.
		

			It's already given to someone else. Subhana Allah. So this is why Allah warns us at the end of
surah, to Nemo and in various other places of the Quran.
		

			If you want the calmness of the Day of Judgment, and if you want that contentment of the Day of
Judgment, Allah says, may
		

			be a sanity fella who
		

			will whom faza II in mean Oh, verse number 89 of Salatu Naaman, Allah says, Whoever comes with a
good deed ever comes with a good deed, so you haven't lost the good deeds, you've protected them,
you did them and then you protected them. And it's 10 times perhaps more difficult to protect it,
than to do it for me to fulfill Salah Alhamdulillah I've done it. But for me to watch out for the
rest of my life that that Salah doesn't go to someone else is very, very difficult. Allah says, When
you've come on the Day of Judgment with a good deed, we will multiply it by 10 because you were able
to come with it. And you know what Allah says those people are the ones who will be saved from the
		

			huge torment of the day, from the shaking of the day, from the shock of the day, the feza of that
particular day, may Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us to protect yourself. You need to make sure
that you don't harm others. You need to make sure that the good deeds don't make you
		

			arrogant. They don't make you haughty and proud. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us good deeds
that are acceptable. And this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala issues such warnings to mankind to say
you know what you're looking for contentment, look in the right place.
		

			We move on to certain causes, where the story of Musa alayhis salaam is mentioned. And this name
causes the stories named after the story of Musa alayhis salaam when he went to Sri ballet salam,
after he was chased out of the place he was at, and he got to shoot a ballet Salaam and you know
what? He says to shave alayhis salam, what happened to him, he helped the daughters. And he walked
with them to the house, they came to call him because they narrated that story to the Father. That
is the passes Subhanallah those stories? Guess what the father does? He saw a good man. first time
meeting him. He heard a good word. He knew he had two daughters. He says, What about marrying one of
		

			my daughters? Subhanallah? would we do that? So Panama, you see a good man. And you propose to the
man directly. There is no harm to speak directly to your son in law to be to offer him your
daughter. It has happened by those better than you. And it is no harm for him to come to you. In
Islam. We believe that the proposal is made by either party, meaning to express the the willingness
or to express the desire to marry can come from any party. And it's either a yes or no, we shouldn't
be upset if it's a no. And just as much, we should be very, very concerned if it is a yes, to
fulfill the rights of the spouse to be and all these new relatives that are suddenly related to you
		

			Subhana Allah.
		

			So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us this in an amazing way. It's a lesson for us to this day, many
of us are not prepared to follow this example. That's why we lose sleep in our homes. Our children
are not happy with us. We are not happy when we are married. We are not happy with our spouses
because we end up marrying people we didn't want to marry and divorce happens and so much happens.
Because we are complicating things. Make it simple. Keep it simple, you will achieve contentment and
happiness. those around you will be happy with the way you handle things. Allah has taught you never
to worry about what people think of you and what you're doing for as long as it is correct for as
		

			long as Allah is pleased with it. And Allah allows it, you can do it and you should lead the way
others will follow you lead the way. Those who you are worried about will actually learn from your
example, may Allah subhanahu wa taala grant us ease. So here Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us in
Surah, two casas verse number 27 please go and read this verse and read the story. Allah says
		

			Allah in ye do an oil, cookie, Hakka, Davina tiny, tiny Allah and Johnny Sam Ania. Hey, JJ.
		

			This man tells Musa alayhis salam, it tells the Prophet Moses, that you know what? I want to get you
married to any one of my two daughters. For as long as you're going to work for me for eight years,
you're such a good man, strong, hardworking and honest. I'm looking for honesty, and one who's
working hard. If you're honest, you have a good relationship with Allah, you work hard, it's a sign
of good character and conduct. My brothers and sisters, look at how he says one of the two of my
daughters with us. Just imagine a person coming to propose for your, for a person coming to propose.
And suddenly, they're proposing for one who you will not yet expecting, we have a problem. In our
		

			communities and societies, we have a false notion, and a very dangerous belief that the oldest must
marry first. If Allah has written sustenance, for one, you do not block it until the other one gets.
Maybe Allah has not written sustenance for them. Why don't you try the same with money and say, the
person the second in the family is not allowed to have a job until the first has a job? Would you do
that? No, because it's sustenance, for your information. Marriage is also sustenance from Allah.
When you asked for this, you are asking for a wife or a husband as well. So pan Allah, may Allah
grant us ease. So we lose contentment in the home because the second son or daughter or the third or
		

			the fourth in line, wants to get married and the others are some of them are not yet married. And we
want to apply our own rule which takes away contentment rather than the rule that brings about
contentment. That's why we don't have contentment.
		

			Do you have that problem in your home? If the answer is yes, you know how to sort it out. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala, grant us ease. My brothers and sisters were looking for contentment, make sure we
do it properly. nikka is something that is so, so simple, yet we make it difficult. The more
difficult you make it, the less contentment you will have. The easier you make it, the more you have
guaranteed your contentment, short term and long term. Your children are happy, you are happy,
everyone is happy. And keep it simple. Don't get complicated when it comes to marriage. Don't make
it too big. Listen to this beautiful verse. He is telling Musa alayhis salam directly. The parents
		

			are not involved. He didn't say your ways your father and your mother and so on. Ideally, it would
be that we should involve the families but not every circumstance is ideal. Here is a man has come
himself to a far off land. He is there in need of something. He just made the dua to Allah Oh Allah,
I'm in need of whatever goodness comes in my direction.
		

			And suddenly Allah sends the biggest blessing. What's it? You're just about to get married? Me? Wow.
The man just knows a few things about you. But he knows you're a good man. He says Don't worry, I'll
offer you one of my two daughters. Would you ever offer someone take one of one of my two daughters?
The answer is, do you think I'm so so cheap? Not at all. You're not cheap. The people who are more
valuable than you in the eyes of Allah have already done it. Who do you think you are? May Allah
subhanho wa Taala. Grant us ease. May Allah open our doors there are a lot of lessons that we should
learn from this beautiful discussion. And Musa alayhis salam worked for his father in law. Today it
		

			is taboo in a lot of communities to work for your father in law, nevermind work to live with him is
a problem. People look at you and start laughing. There is nothing wrong. For as long as you're
happy. Forget about the world, your content, no problem. You could work for him for eight years for
10 years, you could take over his businesses at some stage, nothing wrong. For as long as it was
done correctly, in an upright way. Allah will open your doors and this man was married and he became
so happy and he is the Messenger of Allah And for your information. Even the other man was a
messenger of Allah. These of these best have gone through this and the story is mentioned for you
		

			and I to learn lessons from sort the problems out within your families. And it's very easy to do
that. It requires for you to be a man stand up for your daughters stand up for your children and
allow will grant you contentment inshallah aku kolyada or sallallahu wasallam Obara, Karolina levena
