Mufti Menk – When Allah changes your life through a calamity

			Abdullah aid was founded by brother Shaquille when he lost his son Abdullah, who was a few years old
to a muscular condition whereby it's called a spinal muscular atrophy SMA he lost his child he, he
couldn't believe it because Allah had blessed him with everything. He had the world basically in his
hand something that a lot of the young people would desire for he had it already, but when his
little one was diagnosed with the sickness and illness,
		

			he was helpless. When the doctor told him he's got a few months to live. What Who Do You Think You
Are you Allah? That's what he said. Because he was upset. And obviously the doctors are not always
correct. How many have been given a few hours to live and they're living right now they probably
attending this function, right? So it happens that sometimes when Allah wants goodness from someone,
he starts the path in a way that looks very negative. How many of us have turned to Salah and prayer
have improved ourselves in our own personalities and characters after we've lost something or we've
suffered?
		

			This afternoon, I was speaking in salata Juma in Preston, and I said, sometimes people are brought
to the masjid by ALLAH because ALLAH inflicted them with some harm, that nobody could help them
resolve.
		

			They knocked on every door, and none of those doors open until they came to the door of the Masjid.
		

			When that flung open
		

			as they entered the masjid, they say Allah Metalia Baraka magic, you know the DUA when you enter the
masjid, Oh Allah, open for me the doors of your mercy at Allah. So those of mercy are open through
prayer. Sometimes when we are far away from Allah. Allah causes something to happen in our lives
when he loves us. In the Lavida, a hubbub the Nikola the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam says
when Allah loves his slave, he tests him with tests and more and he gives him a greater reward the
greater the tests hence look at the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Have a look
		

			at the tests he went through the challenges, the difficulties, the hardships, do you know what he
said? Oh Allah for as long as you're pleased with me. I don't mind all of us.
		

			I don't mind. If you're pleased with me. It's okay. homeless person no food struggling with bad
health. Imagine someone had to whisper in your ears for you is Jenna. You would smile and be excited
living under a tree struggling with the code but you know, hey, there is a beautiful place I'm going
to be in for eternity.
		

			I'd rather have that than here.
