			A Salaam Alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was
Salam ala rasulillah heywire Allah, Allah He was happy as mine. My brothers and sisters, sometimes
when we go through hardship and difficulty, loss of loved ones, perhaps your health, perhaps an
amputation, diagnose the disease, loss of a job, perhaps some form of difficulty, the enemy,
sometimes whatever it may be any negativity, people will come up to you believers. And what will
they tell you they will tell you, their patients Allah will reward you right you've heard that don't
worry take it in your stride Allah will reward you bear patients make supper in Allah Hamas Siberian
		

			Allah is with those who bear patients, take it easy, you know, things could have been worse and so
on. You know, inshallah, it's a good thing. You'll see the reward in the hereafter when you see the
reward of the sickness, it's going to be great and so on. We've heard this so much Subhan Allah,
		

			but we're human. It's difficult, sometimes really hard. We need to heal. We need to have hope. So
how does this come about? Where is this from? Like, you know what happened? Okay, let me explain.
		

			The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him says I Jubilee. amerind movement. You know, the affairs of a
believer, a true believer are amazing, because nothing bad can ever happen to a true believer. It
will always be rewarding for that person. If goodness comes their patient, sorry, they're thankful.
So it's always good. And if it's if something negative happens, it's not bad, because they will be
our patients and they will be rewarded for their patients. That's a fact. Let's look at the Quran.
You look at sort of the tober verse number 52, where Allah subhanho wa Taala says, about the war,
you see, at the time, the disbelievers they looked at the believers and they said, you guys are
		

			going to lose this battle. The believers were told, you can never lose, no matter what, even if
there is a physical loss, you've actually won. How? So? According to the disbelievers of Makkah,
they said, We will win and you guys will die. Okay, so Allah says to them, cool health, our bassoon
I've been
		

			ill in the last nine. Are you waiting for us to actually get to one of the two good things that can
happen to us? What are the two good things either we are victorious over you here, so we will be
happy, or if we are killed, we have earned paradise we are martyrs and hamdulillah we're still happy
		

			Subhan Allah say, you mean a believer can't go through, you know, a loss. It's not a loss. This is
where we get it from. It's not a loss. The date of death as we know of everyone is predestined.
You're going to die on the day you're going to die. Allah has written it, how you die, Allah chooses
some people die, you know, in a bad way and some people die in a really good way. And some people
have a blessed death and some people don't. May Allah grant us all a blessing good Deaf me. So if a
person is martyred in a in a proper course, you know, not just going around, you know, doing silly
things and then saying, oh, martyr, no, no, no, we're talking here of proper martyrdom. If a person
		

			has gone through that Allah will grant in Paradise, I mean, you've been murdered, that's martyred
and people are stabbed. That's Martin and people fighting for a correct cause his martyrdom Subhana
Allah. But if you're just, you know, being silly, and you lose your life, that's not martyrdom at
all. Now, if a person does go through that type of situation, and they've lost their life, they
actually have earned their paradise. So we will say their patients to those who are left behind, we
will tell them don't worry the person had a blessed day. How many times have we said that so many
times we've said it to so many people, Allah has given them a bless a death you know, bear patients
		

			don't worry, inshallah you will be reunited in general these are good words that are uttered. And
this is something that is a gift from Allah subhanho wa Taala. My brothers and sisters.
		

			So at the time, we are taught, that Allah subhanho wa Taala addressed the believers telling them to
inform those disbelievers of Mecca and tell them look, whatever is going to happen to us is victory.
		

			And then you have the prophets are seldom telling us that
		

			Allah Almighty
		

			never does bad to a believer. The believer will look at it in a way
		

			That way he or she will understand the goodness. And this is where we get those statements from
where we say, Oh, you know, don't worry, it's going to be good. Everything's going to be okay. Allah
will grant you Be patient inshallah, things will improve. Those are powerful words they were taught
to us by Allah and His messenger. They are very, very powerful words. And this is why we need to
keep on reminding people, that you know what Allah has favored us. And Allah benefits a true
believer, by blessing the believer with contentment, with happiness, with the reassurance with
goodness, with hope, and Allah heals the Broken Heart very quickly. It's human nature to miss people
		

			that you've lost. It's human nature to feel within your heart that Oh, you know what, I hope this
robbery didn't happen. No, this fire didn't happen. But that was a loss plan. You know,
		

			if there is someone to blame, because they did it, yes, they will take the blame and they must be
held accountable. But for us as believers, we will take that in Australia, we will do so knowing,
being reassured that you know what that was Allah for me. I'm going to be a patient and work hard
and try. People have lost jobs so much has happened. This is all part of the plan of Allah,
publicity or Jana, may Allah make it easy for all of us. I want to move on to another verse. where
Allah makes mention of
		

			the good news to the believers. I want good news. You would like good news. Who gets good news?
Well, the people who do the following okay.
		

			Ebola, I'll be doing a hammy Duna Asahi hona Araki owner a surgeon una una be Maui one na hoona
andelman Carrie will have a Luna de How do dilla these beautiful qualities you and I need. Allah
says those are the believers whom we will give good news to primarily good news means paradise but
it includes the contentment of this world. The happiness in this world the healing of the heart, you
know the reassurance and conviction of the soul you're always happy because you know, what do you
do? You constantly seek the forgiveness of Allah. When you say Oh ALLAH forgive me, it doesn't mean
that you know,
		

			you're not forgiven or something, you repeat it in order to elevate your status. Allah loves those
who seek forgiveness when you're seeking forgiveness, the mercy of Allah descends. Whenever you're
searching for the mercy of Allah start asking Allah forgiveness for sins you've committed that you
know and those that you don't know. So Oh Allah, forgive me utter Ebola. And a Toba is a person who
returns to Allah, not just Oh Allah, forgive me but Allah and coming back to you, here I am. Then
those who worship Allah fulfill their acts of worship correctly. Those who constantly praise Allah,
develop these qualities, those who travel and who move around in the remembrance of Allah and to
		

			remind of Allah and for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Those who are those who bow regularly,
those who prostrate regularly meaning they pray their five daily prayers and even more, those who
remind others to do good and remind them to stay away from bad and those who don't transgress the
limits of Allah. Allah says, give good news to those there are believers. give good news to the
believers. Amazing. So if you would like to heal, remember, seek the forgiveness of Allah. Worship
Allah correctly. Praise Allah, when you would journey or anything you do should be for the sake of
Allah. Find yourself in the bowing position, often for Allah alone, in the prostration position for
		

			Allah alone, make sure that you remind people to do good and you discourage them from that which is
wrong in a beautiful way. and protect yourself from transgression. And Allah will grant you the
goodness of this word. And the next, I want to end this particular episode by saying, in salt
universe, verse number 12, Allah speaks about how men is such that when harm affects man, or he's
inflicted by something harmful, he calls out to Allah and supplicates and supplicates on his side
and sitting and in all other postures and positions. And then when the harm is actually alleviated.
He continues on Earth as though he never ever called out to Allah for any harm that affected him.
		

			Allah says those are the people who have gone beyond the limits. You know, those are the
extravagant, those are the people who have gone beyond the limits and that's what they do. Let's not
do that. Whenever we call out to Allah for a need or when Allah gives you that need. Don't forget
that Allah gave you something. Don't ever forget that Allah cured you. Don't forget you cry to Allah
for something and he gave it to you. Allah says Don't forget that we did it for you. Because many
people say oh
		

			Didn't do but he did so much for you. It's just one or two things that haven't happened the way you
want them to happen so now you're so upset. Let's never turn our backs on unless favours upon us.
May Allah bless us grant is healing and grant us renewed hope. Apollo Callie had I was Salam aleikum
