The affairs of a believer are amazing.

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

The reason why I'm repeating this type of

00:00:06--> 00:00:09

topic is because we're going through a lot

00:00:09--> 00:00:12

of hopelessness on earth. People don't realize why

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

am I not coming right? Well, nobody is

00:00:14--> 00:00:15

coming right actually.

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

So what is coming right? If you could

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

read salah that day, you have come right.

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

If you have obeyed Allah, you have come

00:00:22--> 00:00:25

right. If you have thanked Allah against all

00:00:25--> 00:00:27

odds, you have come right. That's what that's

00:00:27--> 00:00:28

what is right.

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

Right is not about your food and your

00:00:30--> 00:00:33

your money and everything else which everyone thinks.

00:00:33--> 00:00:35

Today, when you ask someone how's things, they

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

will tell you very tough. What are they

00:00:37--> 00:00:41

talking about? They're talking about materialism only. But

00:00:41--> 00:00:42

the the true answer is

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

that today I read salah. Today I managed

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

to get up with the Hajj. Today I

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

did Fajr. Today, masha'Allah, I did this and

00:00:47--> 00:00:49

Those are the real answers.

00:00:49--> 00:00:51

I managed to read Quran. I managed to

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

obey Allah. I thank Allah. He gave me

00:00:53--> 00:00:54

one

00:00:55--> 00:00:55

avocado,

00:00:56--> 00:00:57

subhanallah, on my tree.

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

Where are those? That's why on the day

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

of qiyamah there will be a caller who's

00:01:03--> 00:01:04

going to call.

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

Where are those who used to thank Allah

00:01:11--> 00:01:14

in tough times and in good times? Bring

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

them, come forth.

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

VIPs.

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

When you had a tough situation,

00:01:18--> 00:01:20

instead of saying any bad words, you said,

00:01:20--> 00:01:22

alhamdulillah. It could have been worse.

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

It's just like that exam I told you

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

about

00:01:26--> 00:01:28

just now, o level. You walked out, what

00:01:28--> 00:01:30

did you say? Hey, it was alright. It

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

could have been worse. The same happens with

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

us. You have a massive accident. It's your

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

test. You walk out with one broken limb.

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

Say, alhamdulillah, it could have been worse. I

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

could have lost an eye. You lost one

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

eye. I could have lost both eyes. That

00:01:42--> 00:01:43

is a mummin.

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

It's a believer. Allah says you agree. You

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

are here to be tested.

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

Don't become despondent because of 1 or 2

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

challenges in your life, or a 100 or

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

a 1000 challenges. And you need to know

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

another thing the prophet salallahu alayhi salam says,

00:01:55--> 00:01:58

the more Allah loves you, the more tests

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

He puts in your life. Something you think,

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

what just happened here? You cry. Allah says,

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

I love those tears. Why? You are now

00:02:04--> 00:02:08

relying on me alone. No longer on anything

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

else. I told you when we didn't have,

00:02:10--> 00:02:13

wallahi, our reliance on Allah was greater than

00:02:13--> 00:02:15

now that we've got a little bit.

00:02:16--> 00:02:18

This was the condition of the sahabah radiAllahu

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

anhu.

00:02:19--> 00:02:22

They thanked Allah. They were thankful.

00:02:23--> 00:02:24

And yes, it's a test of iman, that's

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

why we are here to talk about it

00:02:26--> 00:02:29

regularly. The sahaba radiAllahu anhu used to ask,

00:02:30--> 00:02:31

when is the help of Allah coming? The

00:02:31--> 00:02:33

messengers of Allah used to ask, when is

00:02:33--> 00:02:36

the help of Allah coming? Allah says, We'll

00:02:36--> 00:02:38

shake you to test you. What is your

00:02:38--> 00:02:41

limit? Then we will take you across

00:02:41--> 00:02:42

to Jannah.

00:02:49--> 00:02:49

Another

00:02:50--> 00:02:52

beautiful verse. Allah said, do you think you're

00:02:52--> 00:02:53

going to go into Jannah just like that

00:02:53--> 00:02:55

without a test? Do you know how we're

00:02:55--> 00:02:56

gonna test you?

00:03:05--> 00:03:07

The example and the tests that we had

00:03:07--> 00:03:10

tested those before you have not yet even

00:03:10--> 00:03:11

come to you.

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

And you think you're going to go to

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

Jannah without those type of tests? So you

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

might ask, O Allah, what type of tests

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

did they have? You know what Allah says?

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

They were tested with hardship,

00:03:50--> 00:03:52

an earthquake. They were shaken

00:03:53--> 00:03:54

until the messengers

00:03:54--> 00:03:56

and the believers

00:03:56--> 00:03:57

asked Allah,

00:03:58--> 00:04:01

Allah, When is the help of Allah going

00:04:01--> 00:04:03

to come? Allah is testing us right to

00:04:03--> 00:04:05

the limit, right to the extent.

00:04:06--> 00:04:07

Allah

00:04:11--> 00:04:11

says,

00:04:13--> 00:04:13

below

00:04:14--> 00:04:17

the help of Allah is very near.

00:04:17--> 00:04:18

that's what Allah says.

00:04:17--> 00:04:18

that's what Allah says.
