00:00:01 --> 00:00:03 
			Have you shed tears
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 
			asking Allah for something
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10 
			that you either needed, wanted, or that you
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 
			lost and wanted to retrieve,
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14 
			or you needed to have a situation
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16 
			that you desperately
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 
			sought from Allah. If you have shed tears
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22 
			for that, you need to realize it's Allah's
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25 
			love for you that He brought you closer
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27 
			to Him through a problem because
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31 
			the point is the closeness to Allah. If
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 
			goodness brought you closer to Allah, it was
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36 
			a gift. And if something negative brought you
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			closer to Allah, it was not a punishment.
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40 
			It's a gift of Allah.
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42 
			Nothing that has happened to you in your
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 
			life that brought you closer to Allah can
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 
			be called a punishment. It's not it was
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48 
			the mercy of Allah.
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 
			I know of people who Allah tested by
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 
			taking their children away. Allah make it easy
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 
			for such people because it's one of the
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 
			most difficult, most painful
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00 
			situations.
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01 
			You need sabr
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 
			upon a level that
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 
			I personally have not yet gone through. May
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 
			Allah protect us all and make it easy
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 
			for us.
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 
			But when Allah has done that for you,
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14 
			I know of people who then found Allah
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16 
			as a result of the loss. Don't you
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 
			think that was a point of mercy?
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20 
			Your little one is gonna be in Jannah
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21 
			waiting for you, he was just a child.
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 
			But Allah has just made sure that you
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24 
			go to Jannah too.
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27 
			People come to us and say, will I
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29 
			see my loved ones in Jannah?
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32 
			We normally say inshallah. Right? You know what's
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 
			the true answer? Work hard, you'll see them
00:01:35 --> 00:01:35 
			there.
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38 
			Without that hard work, what do you expect?
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40 
			You're walking towards
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43 
			the other jay, and he's in another jay,
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43 
			subhanAllah.
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45 
			You see?
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 
			You see, well I see my this in
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 
			jannah, and that person in jannah, I've heard
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 
			the weirdest one ever.
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54 
			Weirdest one ever.
00:01:55 --> 00:01:55 
			Guess what?
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05 
			Will I be with my girlfriend in Jannah?
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 
			I promise you.
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10 
			I promise you.
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 
			Are you serious? He said, yeah. Because you
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 
			know how people people make it difficult, and
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18 
			sometimes parents and communities and societies
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 
			make it very difficult for people to marry.
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21 
			You see
