Mufti Menk
AI: Summary © The speaker discusses the plan of Allah to provide protection for the mother and children in the case of the vast majority. The plan is to create a night to rest, but the idea is to empower the mother to take advantage of the opportunity to rest and work. The mother is supposed to be the one to blame for the negative sleep patterns, but the system of Allah will provide goodness and empower the mother to take advantage of the opportunity to work.

The worry, the concern is that

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

of the mother.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

The mother is more concerned. Our mothers were

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

more concerned about us than we were about

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11

ourselves.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

Have you seen a child?

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

A child is carefree. It doesn't understand exactly

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

animal or something dangerous

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

around the child, you will always find those

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

adults around the child more worried than the

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

child.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

So this is part of the plan of

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

Allah. When Allah made us, he prepared

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

a beautiful

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

mechanism

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

of protection

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

for us from the adults around us in

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

the case of the vast majority.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

When I say vast majority, from amongst us,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

they are orphans. From amongst us, they are

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

those who lost their mothers in childhood

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

or in infancy or upon birth. From amongst

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

us. There are those whose circumstances did not

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

permit or allow for there to be the

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

same people whom the rest of the world

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

probably has had because of whatever it might

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

have been.

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

But the plan of Allah is always

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

that a child

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

is considered absolutely

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

innocent.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

So cute.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

Masha Allah. So naturally the hearts of adults

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

are supposed to be inclined towards this particular

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

child. You might be thinking, how would I

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

commence a talk on depression and anxiety,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

worry and sadness in this way? But the

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

reason is

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

to appreciate the mechanism that Allah has created

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

us within.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

Over and above that,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

Allah has created a system and a plan

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

in order to provide for us the best

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

possible way forward in our lives.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

If you look at the creation of the

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

day and night

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

which happened prior to the creation of man,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

Allah Almighty says,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

Allahumlavijaalalakumullaylalitaskunu

00:02:11 --> 00:02:11

feewanaharamubaswira.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

It is Allah who created

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

for you the night in order to rest,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

in order to sleep. It is dark. You're

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

supposed to go and rest and the day

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

you can see you're supposed to be working.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

So if you get up every morning

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

and it may require an effort for you

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

to do that, Part of your problem will

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

be solved

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

because you are within the plan of Allah.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

You may not understand the benefit of the

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

sleep of the first part of the night

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

even though medicine is speaking louder and louder

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

in that direction.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

Far greater way the earlier you go to

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

bed, whereas Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam

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

came to us and reminded us

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

after salat alaihi wasallam if you do not

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

have something

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

constructive

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

such as this to do. What do you

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

What should you do? You should go to

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

bed.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

He may not have mentioned all the detailed

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

reasons but it's the plan of Allah.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

Those whose sleeping patterns are

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

not in sync with what is supposed to

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

be for no reason whatsoever

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

with their own doing or the doing of

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

their own hands. They are the ones to

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

blame when they find themselves

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

sliding into

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

a form of sadness, or worry, or depression,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

or anxiety.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

The system of Allah, when you follow it

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

in a proper way, it will pro It

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

will empower you. It will actually provide for

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

you goodness in order to protect you from

00:03:50 --> 00:03:50

the adverse

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

environment

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

and from the challenges

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

of this particular world.
