			My beloved brothers and sisters we know that Allah is in absolute control of entire existence.
Alhamdulillah here, Bill Allah me in all praise is due to Allah Who is the Lord of the Worlds, the
creator, the nourish of the cherish of the sustainer, the provider, the protector, the cure, the one
in absolute control of every single aspect of existence, one might ask, well, in that particular
case, why does He allow certain things to happen?

Allah has given His creatures to a certain extent, some form of a, some form of a choice in some of
what they do, and some of what they say, et cetera. So Allah has given us a choice within what he
has allowed in order to test us. And this Allah explains in the Quran in a few places where Allah
Subhana Allah, Allah says, in her Dana, who sebelah we guide men to the path in my Shakira? No, in
Makkah foreign, we've given him the choice Either he would be, you know, grateful, show gratitude by
worshipping Allah alone, following what Allah has revealed or Quran showing ungratefulness in

created you, he actually asked you a question. Allah asked you another question. Yes, he did. What

			all his progeny in Seoul form and we ask them a question what was the question Allah to be or
become? Am I not your Lord Your Creator? And what did we all respond? We said Bella, indeed you are
