00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			There are sicknesses
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			that would be cured
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			by you reading the verses.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			You are cured from the tampering of Shaitan.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			Ayatul Kursi is very powerful.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			Do you read it every day, every morning,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			every evening?
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			When you repeat these verses
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			with sincerity, Allah says they are so powerful
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			that the jinn will not come near. Allahu
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			Akbar.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			I was in Indonesia recently
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			and I made mention of a point
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			of a magician, a lady
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			from Russia.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			In an interview online that is there,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			she was asked,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			when you're doing your magic and when you're
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			trying to do affect people with all types
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			of magic,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			are there any people that you find it
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			difficult to actually affect?
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			She says, yes. The muslims.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			The practicing muslims who pray 5 times a
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			day. These are the words of a non
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			muslim.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			Go and check it out. It's there.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			Why? She explains that when they pray,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			there is a strength
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			and there is like a dome around them
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			you just can't get through. Allahu Akbar. Allahu
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			Akbar. Wallahi, these are non muslims telling you.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			And you you you think that this Quran
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			we have been blessed with is something minor.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			It is the most amazing gift that you
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			have, but you don't do Qadr of it.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			You don't appreciate
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			it.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			Sometimes you have a spouse, a husband or
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			a wife. The best that you could ever
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			have had.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			But because you don't appreciate them, you lose
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			them.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			It happens. When you've lost them, you say,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			oh, you know what? I lost.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			Too late. Too late.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Sometimes you have a gift of Allah, a
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:00
			job.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			You don't appreciate
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			that Allah has blessed you
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			and you start dillydallying and you don't take
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			it seriously and you lose your job.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			Allah says, I gave you.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			You were the one who turned away from
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			me. You were the one who didn't want,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			who did not appreciate.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			How many times do you say like Alhamdu
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			walaqashukruya
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			wajidoo jallajalalal.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			How
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			many times do you say to you is
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			all praise, O Allah, To you is all
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			thanks, O Allah? How do you expect to
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			heal
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			from your
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			sicknesses, your diseases, your weaknesses, your difficulties, your
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			hardships? And every one of us has all
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			of those.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			I have difficulties and you do.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			The level of the difficulty is different. But
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			I have hardship.
