get started.

			Take One i said I'm gonna make one I'm gonna delay but I catch Oh Good Morning Vietnam.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:55
			Today inshallah Tada. We're talking about don't be sad, which is actually a really interesting
topic. So to start off, let's look at the seal of the prophets of Allah, the cinnamon, the Hijra. So
the Prophet said Alana is sent and you know, the command was allowed the mussels were living in
Medina, they were sorry, in Mecca, they were persecuted. And then permission was granted for the
Muslims to migrate to Medina. So the Muslims left. And the last person to leave pretty much except
people who were
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			unable to leave was the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:41
			And there was a plot to kill the Prophet said a lot a sentiment he left in the middle of the night,
I won't go into detail and a lot of you might know the story already. But the strategy of the
prophets of Allah de Saddam was to go to a cave that was actually pretty near to the Kava. In fact,
if you're at the camera, you can walk to that cave, it might take about an hour to walk to that
cave, which is not very long. So you'll see that as everybody kind of like raced out of Mecca to
chase the Prophet sallallahu Sallam private satellites and went in a different direction and
actually was very close to them. And they were going to hide out in that cave for some time, until
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:55
			you kind of like the, the Mushrikeen the heat of the chase calm down. And, and then they would
proceed on their way and take a different route. So here's the interesting thing. When they were in
that cave,
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:03
			we're in that cave, the Quraysh in Mecca, were searching for the prophets that allowed him to kill
him.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:23
			They actually climbed up to that cave. And I know there's a famous story of a spider's web on the
cave, which they say isn't true. It's not authentic. So they basically came to the cave, and the
prophets of Allah Islam and Abu Bakar were just there inside the cave.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:51
			And if he looked if they just looked down, so basically their eye gaze is upwards, but if they look
downwards, they would have seen the province of allies and they would have seen it well Bukka of
your lawn. So Abubaker said this to the prophets of Allah de Sena. And the point the key of
tonight's reminder, is the first words that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said to Abu Bakr,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:59
			he said, Let ASAN don't be sad. In the Lucha Marina, Allah is with us. Well
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:32
			last panel Tada revealed in the Quran then if Nene in Houma if you know Vaughn he hit me up on his
lawn he been Zen including saw Hindi Nila doesn't know Manana. In that verse, Allah subhana wa Tada
it's a testimonial for a bucket of the alarm when the Prophet sighs and of course, when they were in
the cave, India put on the Sahibi when he said to his companion, let doesn't don't be sad in Allah
hermana
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:56
			so what's interesting about this out of all the things the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam could have
said to Abu Bakar on the line, he said to him, don't be sad. So today's reminder, inshallah Tada is
yes, sadness is a natural human reaction is the natural arguments that are my uncle's, my uncle just
joined a
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			welcome you Atlanta was
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			my real uncle, my blood uncle.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:52
			So being sad is a natural human reaction. And that's understood, but you'll find that a slam and the
guidance is to, it's not encouraged emotion. It's not like hey, you're sad, let's wallow in sadness.
Let's, you know, encourage the sadness. Let's intensify the sadness. Let's, you know, there's
nothing you know, so and so. So that's not what's encouraged in Islam. I'm going to show you guys in
sha Allah data today that the encouragement is for somebody to move away from sadness and be happy
and I'm reminded even remember when we were talking about in one of the reminders about Khadija
Ravi, Allah, Allah and the prophets of Allah, they sent him said, I feared for my for myself.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:47
			And then the Prophet SAW and then he just said, Kela, Allah, color observe, she said to him knee,
and that that word of shade is inside because she said, give glad tidings or rather appreciate it
you could say it be happy, be you know, have Glad Tidings Be glad be happy, like because Allah
Allah, Allah, Allah will never allow you to be disgraced. And so the Quran Islam our deen guides us
to move away from sadness and move to work towards happiness. So let me give you examples of this.
And this is this is 16 127 Allah subhanaw taala says, what's been one hour Sobotka in been, while at
Zen Ali him while at Aquafina point miam guru on Allah subhanaw taala says and be patient on
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:58
			Muhammad said Allah Islam and your patient is not through a lot and do not grieve over them Don't be
sad over them while at Zenn la him and another verse Allah subhanaw taala says
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:44
			well Allah after he doesn't want to Ilona in common to meaning so do not weaken and do not want to
attack us no and don't grieve and don't be sad, while attacking no one has no one to let alone in
control, meaning Allah Subhana Allah says in another verse, Polina beukeboom in her journey, I love
this verse. This is when Adam and Hawa were coming were expelled from paradise they were expelled
from paradise and when they were expelled Allah subhanaw taala says to them go down from it all of
you the IMA yeah dn nuk mini who then
		
00:08:45 --> 00:09:18
			Debbie Yahoo Di Bella home for now laying him whatnot homie afternoon Allah subhanaw taala says and
when my guidance comes to you the in May at 10 Neko mini who then fermented Yahoo day that whoever
follows this guidance for the whole finale him there's no fear upon them what our home yes at noon
and they won't grieve and they won't be sad. So you'll see I'm giving you all these verses to show
you that Islam guides a person towards not being sad if you look at
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:59
			if you look at the application of this and our communities and I've said this before that there's a
lot of hellfire punishment Hellfire punishment doomsday kind of talk in our community but I you
know, if you look in the Quran there's so much above shared Glad Tidings don't be sad. Don't grieve,
don't be sad. Don't grieve paradise Jana, reward for believers, but we don't hear that side of the
equation when we're following Allah subhanaw taala and we're worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. And
then we go to hear reminders. And somebody thinks that Oh, everybody's going to be so motivated if I
remind them of punishment, that you're going to be punished for, for stuff that you didn't even
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			Do just talking about male less puntata per day. So application of this
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:40
			I'm delighted and had to throw the alarm who said that I've never seen anybody smiling more than the
profits of a lot of them. This is a reminder for me, reminder for all of you know that the prophets
that Allah they sent him smiled more than anybody else. He was always signs, smiling His disposition
so Allah Allah Cena was not to move towards sadness, but to move away from it. And here are some of
the sayings of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam um regarding the virtue of smiling, the prophets of
Allah is seldom said
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:22
			let's talk the one nominal model fisheye. Don't be little, any sort of good thing, any anything,
don't be little lit, even to meet your brother with a cheerful countenance. So that means that if
you meet somebody, I know in Canada, we do this, that, Oh, you meet somebody or it's just kind of
like not in a good mood, but you meet somebody in the street and you're like, Hey, good day, what's
up? That's actually a characteristic of a believer is to, to meet somebody with a cheerful
countenance. Sometimes you go to communities, maybe like in the US, there's a lot of communities
like that, even in Canada, Toronto, whatnot, where people are just like kind of frowning.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:38
			There was a brother that was from New Jersey, may Allah keep everybody safe. And he visited Toronto
and he said, Wow, you Canadians are so kind and I'm like, Look, Toronto is the, the meanest part of
Canada.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:12:24
			They're the New Yorkers of Canada. And if you think that's polite, and kind, then you know, wait
till you see, let me give you an example of a Canadian Canadian culture just because it's it is kind
of like this cheerful countenance. I was once in, like New Brunswick and New Brunswick. It's like
North Canada. And I was at a restaurant and at this restaurant, I asked the waitress if we needed
change, sorry, if it was paid parking, or if it was free parking. And the waitress said it was paid
parking, and I didn't have change in my pockets. And she said, Don't worry, I'll give you change.
And I was about to get up to pay the parking and then she said to me, don't worry, I'll go and pay
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			your parking for you.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:44
			So cheerful countenance this is actually characteristic of a believer that we should meet each other
with a cheerful countenance and if you knew your isolation in your home, it's very easy to fall into
frowning and I'm tired, I'm dehydrated because I am dehydrated, not drinking enough.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			And this is my right hand.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:13:02
			But this is sadaqa it's a charity so a charity is like you put in the effort to meet somebody with a
cheerful countenance another example of this
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:17
			the Prophet said a line in the CENTUM said every act of kindness is charity. And part of that part
of that charity is to offer your brother a cheerful face and pour some of your your bucket into his
water vessel.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:47
			So part of that charity every act of kindness is charity and meaning that meaning your brother with
a cheerful face is charity and that's your brother somebody outside of your family and today here
with your family is to you know, you have to have mercy with your if you have little children in the
house and brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts or whoever's in the family with you to put in
that extra sadaqa that extra charity to smile at them to have a
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:17
			nice face and this is your sadaqa and and it also not only are you giving sadaqa to this person, but
you but the payback for you. Is it Ward's away sadness, it Ward's away sadness because it's
interesting, your face and your smile. If you ask the question, what came first the smile or the
happiness behind it? And people say oh, if you're happy then you will smile.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:59
			But it could be the opposite. When you smile, you become happy. So actually your physical body then
sends a message so your physical so when you put this countenance you're giving charity sadaqa to
somebody else, the charity comes back to you and you start to feel happy on the inside and you're
feeling in a better mood and so on. So the action for today is this do tons of charity with your
family and smile and show beautiful countenance and be merciful with your family during this
isolation inshallah Tada and to push away sadness as Allah subhanaw taala guides us in the Quran
lead times and don't be
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
