			One owner Xin Amina Nima who worship
		

			me.
		

			A Salaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was
Salam ala rasulillah Allah early he was happy Germain. We praise Allah subhanho wa Taala we send
blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his household, his companions,
we ask Allah to bless them to bless every single one of us, and to grant us the best of the best. I
mean, my brothers and sisters, welcome to this brand new series entitled verses of hope and healing
from the noble are on. And you and I know that a lot has happened recently on Earth. Many people are
still struggling. And only Allah subhanho wa Taala would give them comfort and alleviate their
		

			suffering. May Allah grant us all alleviation and goodness. I mean, so I'd like to commence with
what some of the scholars consider the first verse of the Quran. And some say it's not the verse of
Surah Al Fatiha the first verse, but they say that it is to be read before you commence the
recitation of the Quran. So here goes Bismillah Ar Rahman AR Rahim In the Name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful Subhana Allah, Allah Rahman, and Rahim, those are the names of Allah, we
will get to them. But to start off with Bismillah, the first words of hope and healing, indeed the
name of Allah, to take the name of Allah whenever you're doing anything, whenever you commence
		

			anything. The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him says, anyone who does not take the name of Allah
when doing anything of importance, will not achieve much from that particular thing. All in one
duration, it will be cut off from blessings from goodness. So learn to take the name of Allah no
matter what you do, it will give you a lot of comfort, it will heal your broken soul, it will give
you lots of hope. Because who is Allah? Whose name are you actually taking, you're taking the name
of your maker, the one who is an absolute control of entire existence, the one whom you're going to
return to when you close your eyes, the one who is the cherisher, the Sustainer, the provider, the
		

			protector, that Chiara Subhana, Allah, In the Name of Allah, the One who deserves to be worshipped
Him alone, we worship Subhana Allah. So when we take the name of Allah, we would definitely be
blessing whatever we're about to do all the situation where in even when you're about to eat, we're
taught to say Bismillah, In the Name of Allah, the One who provided us this food, the one who is the
owner of the solutions of the difficulties and hardship that I am going through all that I may face,
the one who's designed my entire life. So Bismillah In the name of Allah,
		

			my brothers and sisters, that in itself has a lot of goodness. But on top of that, Allah subhanho wa
Taala decides to focus on two of his qualities, both extracted from the quality of mercy. One is the
Especially Merciful, and the other is the Merciful, the encompassing, merciful. Ooh encompasses
everything. So when you say Rahim, it is Especially Merciful, the special Mercy of Allah descending
upon those who actually believe in Allah. So the believers there is a special mercy for them. That
is our Rahim. It is depicted in the quality Rahim. Allah has mercy on the believers, that is a
special type of mercy. Imagine the hope that we achieve knowing that there is a special mercy
		

			designated for me from Allah subhanho wa Taala, In the name of Allah, whose mercy encompasses me,
and not just me, but everything Subhana Allah. So this is why you here are Rahman and Rahim in the
same verse. This is actually a verse of surah to naml. But whether or not it is a verse of every
surah there is difference of opinion among the scholars with the vast majority saying it is not a
verse of every surah but it is a verse of surah tunnel, and it is to be repeated whenever you're
doing something of importance. One of the most important things you could be doing is the recitation
of the Quran. So therefore
		

			We seek Allah's protection from Shaitan, the cursed, which is also a powerful point of healing,
every time you're reading the Quran, Allah says, We either don't call Anna alpha either Dell or NFS
Dave Billahi min ash shaytani r rajim. Whenever you are reading the Quran, you should seek the
protection of Allah from shavon de accussed. That's in order to heal your heart without the
contamination of the devil, your heart will heal. And definitely you will be able to achieve much
more, Allah will protect you from shavon that's a lot of hope in there. And may Allah subhanho wa
Taala truly protect us from all that which is harmful. So to start off with this beautiful,
		

			beautiful verse, which like I said, according to the majority is not part of every surah or the
beginning of every surah. But still, to start off with it, in anything in everything that is of any
form of importance is actually the root of all goodness, because to put Allah Who is the root or the
Creator, you know, the root of all goodness is definitely alive as well. So to start off with his
name would be to start off with this beautiful, beautiful proclamation that I am starting in the
name of my Lord who made me the one in control the one whom I'm going to return to so my brothers
and sisters never forget to say the name of Allah, on everything that you want to do that is of
		

			importance Bismillah In the name of Allah Rahman r Rahim. So in it there is a lot of cure. And this
is why Allah says in the Quran, one, zero Amina Nima who was Shiva
		

			meaning in indeed we have revealed in this plan that we're in which there is cure, and mercy for the
believers, a lot of cure. So when you're fulfilling what Allah has asked you to fulfill you will
achieve a lot of hope.
		

			Because you're doing what Allah has asked you to do. Let's move on my brothers and sisters to Surah
Al Fatiha seeing that our time is restricted, but we're not going to
		

			miss any of the points here in Surah. To Fatiha especially, here goes where Allah says in Surah
Fatiha Alhamdulillah imagine the beginning of the sport and starts off with All praise is due to
Allah. praise is due to Allah upon good conditions that we know but what about upon bad conditions?
So we are taught still praise Allah is in control Alhamdulillah Allah coonley Han.
		

			All praise is due to Allah upon all conditions. And for this reason, on the day of judgment, a cola
is going to call out to say Where are those who used to praise Allah upon all conditions, and when
they will be called out, they will be told to enter Jannah before everyone else Subhan Allah, so
praise Allah in it, there is a lot of hope, hope that I'm going to be entering paradise before
everyone else because I'm praising Allah. And in it, there is a lot of healing because even in a bad
condition, I'm praising Allah. Praise Allah when you're going through difficulty and see what
happens and humbling that things could have been worse. I thank Allah I praise Allah. Why? Because
		

			he is a bull. I mean, He is the Lord of the worlds he created me and everything in existence was
created solely and only by Allah subhanho wa Taala there is no partner with Allah in creation
Subhana Allah. So this is why when we say Alhamdulillah he Rob beloved me when we achieve a lot of
comfort, we repeat this in every prayer, your prayer is not valid without this verse and the surah
being recited in it because while llahi there is hope and healing in this specific verse and the
surah and the Quran at large, and this is why we're talking about it, what problem do you have?
Thank Allah. Remember He is the Lord of the worlds turned to him. He is the Most Merciful. Take his
		

			name Subhan Allah, look at the power of just the beginning. We haven't even started my brothers and
sisters. And we can see the Quran is filled with verses of hope and healing. No matter what you're
going through, take it in your stride. Allah is the Greatest, Allah says, a rough man you're Rahi
Raheem once again he repeats these qualities in Surah Al Fatiha the second verse, the quality of the
the merciful, especially merciful Subhana Allah and the mercy that encompasses everything to
different types of mercy. He has a specialized mercy for those who believe so have hope in Allah
when things are going wrong according to you remember, they're going right according to Allah,
		

			ultimately, what do you want? Oh believer, you want paradise
		

			And you want to be able to survive your life on earth and insha Allah with a little bit of comfort.
May Allah grant us comfort, goodness, healing and hope and May Allah subhanho wa Taala open our
doors for indeed my brothers and sisters, we must thank Allah that He revealed to us the most
amazing word because it is His Word, the Word of Allah. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us from
his goodness, Apolo Kali hada. Also Allah who was Allah, Allah Nabina Muhammad wa known as xeno
