This verse of the Quran
is one of the most powerful verses reminding
us who we are
and who we
actually belong to and where we are going
to all
return.
It is a verse where Allah
speaks about those who have gone through hardship,
suffering,
some form of grief or loss,
those who have gone through difficulty
of some sort.
And they say,
we belong to Allah and unto Allah is
our ultimate return. All of us. Allah says
through those words, if they really believe those
words,
they would definitely be able to gain closeness
to Allah. They are the rightly guided.
Those whom when calamity strikes, when hardship, difficulty,
grief
strikes,
they say,
we all belong to Allah and we're all
going to return to Allah. Not just the
person I lost, but myself as well. I'm
going to go back to Allah.
This world is temporary. The worldly life is
predetermined by Allah. How long you are going
to live
is predetermined
by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. That doesn't mean
you must be careless But what it does
mean is you must accept when Allah has
taken someone away and you must realize that
you and I could go at any time.
So if Allah has written
for your spouse or for your son or
for your parent
or for a sibling of yours to pass
away at a certain age. There is nothing
you can do to change that. But there
is something you can do to be able
to go through
the decree of Allah with a little bit
more ease and comfort with the help of
Allah alone.
The question is, who's going to help me?
Who is going to help me through my
loss?
The answer is
none other than Allah.
People can say things. They will never ever
be able to understand
the feelings
of sorrow and hurt or the feelings of
sadness
that you are going through because
they are just human beings.
You can tell a widow, Allah, make it
easy. Insha'Allah, everything will be fine. Don't be
sad, etcetera. But she's just a human being.
She has to be sad because sadness is
a quality of a human being.
And that sadness should never be because you
questioned the decree of Allah. But it is
because you're a human being and you miss
your beloved late husband. May Allah grant him
Jannatul Firdaus.
May Allah grant all the Marhomeen and those
who've passed on Jannatul Firdaus.
My beloved sisters, today I'm speaking to people
who have suffered a loss in one way
or another.
Mostly,
we have those who've lost. I have lost
people close to me too.
And I want to tell you all today,
the only
one who can help you and assist you,
the only one who can guide you through
these difficult days and create ease for you
and comfort your soul that is in pain
is the one who made you, the one
who made the soul, the one who controls
everything, the one who controls your heart.
Allah.
Allah alone.
For that reason, I started this talk by
reciting a verse which is also a dua.
Inna lillahi
wa inna
ilayhi rajiy'un.
If you understand that statement and you say
it correctly,
Allah will grant you the ability to go
through
what He has chosen for you. And you
always need to be happy at the decree
of Allah.
