My brothers, my sisters,

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

in the past year, we've seen a lot

00:00:05--> 00:00:07

of turbulence, turmoil, and loss.

00:00:08--> 00:00:12

People have gone through hardship, difficulty, calamity, sickness,

00:00:12--> 00:00:14

loss of life, and so much more. We

00:00:14--> 00:00:16

take a look at the earthquake that just

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

happened.

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

So many lost their lives.

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

Many have lost their properties.

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

Many have lost their

00:00:24--> 00:00:27

loved ones. People have lost limbs, and they're

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

injured. Thousands are actually injured.

00:00:30--> 00:00:31

People have lost so much.

00:00:32--> 00:00:35

Their lives have been turned upside down. You

00:00:35--> 00:00:36

look at the floods earlier.

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

People lost their lives also in a similar

00:00:39--> 00:00:40

fashion.

00:00:40--> 00:00:43

Their lives were turned upside down in a

00:00:43--> 00:00:45

flash. In a moment,

00:00:46--> 00:00:47

they got up, and,

00:00:48--> 00:00:51

it was never going to be the same

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

again.

00:00:52--> 00:00:53

Similarly,

00:00:53--> 00:00:56

over the last few years, we've seen people

00:00:57--> 00:00:57

losing

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

what they were accustomed to. What we were

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

used to was taken away from us in

00:01:03--> 00:01:04

many cases.

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

Some have

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

been restored to what they were by Allah

00:01:08--> 00:01:10

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, but

00:01:11--> 00:01:12

in the case of many,

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

people are still looking for jobs.

00:01:14--> 00:01:16

They are still short of income.

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

People are struggling in their relationships

00:01:20--> 00:01:22

where they've probably been through or are going

00:01:22--> 00:01:26

through divorce. They've been threatened, maybe they have

00:01:26--> 00:01:28

access or no access to their children at

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

times.

00:01:29--> 00:01:32

They have problems with their siblings, their parents.

00:01:33--> 00:01:35

People have issues with their communities,

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

and the list is endless.

00:01:38--> 00:01:41

In fact, it is increasing as time passes.

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

So much of hardship and turmoil, but

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

Allah Almighty

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

grants us opportunities

00:01:48--> 00:01:51

to reconnect with him, to rekindle that flame,

00:01:52--> 00:01:55

to relive the hope, and to continue in

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

Ta'ala.

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

Ta'ala.
