The Provision Will Come If You Only Be Patient

We never ever

compromise

our relationship with Allah

for anything.

That comes first. Then

the Hajj is being celebrated.

You will understand why.

Ibrahim alaihis salam,

number 1, he worshiped Allah alone. Come with

me. Number 2, the sacrifices he made, one

after the other. So many. I've only mentioned

a few here.

Later on also

he had so many sacrifices,

one after the other.

Every time he turned to Allah. He kept

on making dua to Allah. Look at the

Quran. It is filled with dua made by

Ibrahim

Meaning many duas there of his are mentioned

in the Quran.

Why such great mention of a man who

lived long long back? Because Allah wants us

to learn the lesson.

Look at his family members.

His wife was left with a child, Hajar

and Ismail in Makkatul Mookarramah.

Nothing to eat or drink.

What was the conviction?

Allah will provide.

The wife asks him,

Is it really Allah who asked you

to do this? Meaning to leave us here

in this barren land with no one?

And obviously he kept on going.

Yes. It was Allah.

Sometime later,

what did they need? Water.

Water, root of life.

It came gushing from nowhere. My brothers, my

sisters, when you are in desperate need of

Allah and you are close to Allah and

you ask Allah and you continue to ask

Allah, it might take not 7 rounds from

Safa to Marwa, not 7 days or 7

months. It might take 7 years for you

and I. We are not prophets of Allah.

But I promise you when the zamzam comes

gushing,

it will gush for a lifetime.

I'm talking about in your life and mine.

We're talking about sustenance.

You will be shocked what Allah has done

for you in 7 years, but be patient.

Don't lose patience. We are too impatient. You

make dua today. At Asr time you said,

you know what? It was Jumuah. I went

to the masjid. I cried to Allah. I

shed tears. Allah doesn't want to listen to

me. Hang on. It's only Asur, man.

It's only time of Asur. You go to

wait 7 months to 7 years. The cycle

sometimes people say it's 7 years. As muslims,

we don't believe that

per se. But we do know that it's

Allah's timing.

So hang on, be patient my brothers, my

sisters.

Maintain that dedication. Look at what Allah tells

Musa alaihis salam and and haroon.

Allah

says they were making dua against the pharaoh

for a while.

The word is fastakeema.

Allah says,

you've been calling out to us. Right? For

the destruction of the pharaoh.

We've already answered your dua. It's coming.

But in the meantime, istaqima,

remain steadfast. Be patient.

Today you suffered a loss. Hang on. Hang

on. Be patient. Continue in your relationship with

Allah. A day of victory has to come

7 years from today. Like I said, all

of us, how many problems have you had

in your life? I'm repeating it because it's

a very important question.

Were they not days? Were they not days

in your life?

When you thought I'm not gonna make it

and today where you're sitting? SubhanAllah.

Beyond imagination.

But that time you were crying, you thought

Allah is not responding. Look at where you

are today. You're sitting so happy. You're sitting

with such goodness. Where is the gratitude to

Allah? What happened to those days when you

were saying Allah is not listening to me?

Where do all that go? And then guess

what? Another test is also coming soon because

that's the nature of life. If Allah gives

you life long enough, wait, wait, wait. Another

one's coming. And the good news or the

bad news is that the next one's going

to be bigger than the previous one. Because

even at school, you can't have the same

questions of grade 1 all along. It has

to continue further and further. It has to

become bigger and bigger.

So many rations show you the greater the

test, the greater the reward. When Allah loves

you the challenges.

you the challenges.
