00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			Santa Monica Welcome to LA here but I can't too
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			many brothers and sisters, we begin by placing our maker Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:39
			We praise him during all circumstances. We praise him during his, we praise him during hardship, and
we ask him for his help. We sincerely ask him for his help, and we asked him to send his blessings
and salutations upon our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his family members,
his companions, and all those who tread upon his path with utmost sincerity until Judgment Day.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:48
			Yes, indeed, we're living in trying times, extremely trying times, we're in the midst of a pandemic.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			And at this juncture, we asked him for his help. And
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:16
			I'd like to begin this video by reminding ourselves of the ayah in the Noble Quran. For in my
history you saw in a mile or so you saw, Allah says, So truly with hardship comes ease. And he goes
on to again say, truly with hardship comes ease. So as believers, that is hold on to this idea.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:25
			Today, I want to talk about losing a loved one, and most specifically the loss of a child.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:44
			Most of us are aware of the 20 day old baby in Sri Lanka, who was cremated only a few days ago, due
to passing away whilst having tested positive for COVID-19. As per the test and report put forth by
the authorities.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:02:17
			I'd like to dedicate this video to offer my deepest sympathies and condolences along with sincerely
praying for the family and offering words of consolation. We pray for this family earnestly May
Allah subhanho wa Taala comfort the parents, and may the loss of this child become a means for them
to acquire the pleasure of Allah. And may Allah the Most High love their beautiful child, to drag
them into Jenna into paradise in the next life. I mean,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:40
			losing a child is one of the greatest trials in life. And this trial has been compounded for this
family upon so many levels of pain, that Words fail to try and encompass or describe the pain and
grief that they must be going through.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:03:27
			So at this juncture, we also pray for every parent who has gone through this very trying ordeal.
It's a trial and a challenge by the brothers and sisters that many of us will find extremely
difficult to understand. If we have not experienced it and none of us want to. Because it is so
difficult and experience to even think of comprehending it, it tugs it tugs away and breaks your
heart in places that you never knew existed in your heart. Subhan Allah, it is a trial that the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went through six times the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
buried six of seven children Subhan Allah, one begins to wonder about the strength of the Prophet,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:04:13
			the emotional strength of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam How did he find it in Him, to smile
at everyone and to have so much to give to others around him? After having gone through all of this
Subhan Allah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So at a juncture like this return to the
Scripture, for relief. For solace, we turn to the words of our maker and the words of merciful
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for comfort. Our maker Subhana Horta, hyla, he states in the
Noble Quran, will enable you and can be Shea mineral Hovey will do, he will not cause a mineral and
while he will unfussy with a mirage well Bashir is Sabine
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			la Vina either

00:04:19 --> 00:04:59
			mo see Bang orlu in LA LA he was in LA hero Gao and while Anna Balu and mccombie Shea in mineral how

goes on to mention that we shall definitely test you all will enable when netcom there are layers of
emphasis there that we will indeed definitely test you all. With what with fear, with loss of well,
losing a loved one and first with Murat you'd be put through famine, starvation difficulty well
joueur hunger
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			And then a lot goes on to say, well, Bashir is Siberian.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:11
			Now amidst all of this turmoil, amidst the chaos, amidst the difficulty,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:49
			give glad tidings and to the sabi rune now who are the sabi rune, the sabi rune are those who hold
on to this beautiful concept of sovereign patience, give glad tidings and to the patient ones. And
then Allah goes on to describe the patient ones who are the patient ones, and levena either a saw
but who maceda they are those when afflicted with a calamity. What do they do? How do they respond
in early learn he was in LA here or geo and
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			this statement,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:02
			I want to take a few moments to internalize this statement. It's such a powerful statement. Some of
us think that this is a statement that is merely uttered when someone passes away.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:42
			No Subhan Allah look at the meaning in Allah He was in La Jolla Raja own in NA. If you were to
dissect that statement of trying to understand it, to internalize it in, surely we in Allah, surely
we belong to a law in nyla. We're in and again indeed, are surely lay here on your own. Again,
surely we lay here on your own, will all return to Him. Look at this statement. Surely we belong to
Allah, and surely to him, we will all return.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			What a powerful statement, what beautiful submission.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:06
			This beautiful concept of surrendering yourself submitting to the will of your maker subhanho wa
Taala, where you where you submit yourself complete submission in Nadella who are in that era here
on your own. When we internalize this statement,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:15
			you've seen my dear brothers and sisters, it is upon us to go to the Scripture, it is upon us to go
to the words of our maker for comfort.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:46
			We have to tell ourselves that every single thing belongs to Allah subhana wa Dan, we belong to Him.
And whatever we own, we think that we own these things, but they ultimately belong to Allah subhanho
wa Taala. While Illa Hill methyl Allah, Allah is above these examples, but for our minds, you see,
we have got fragile minds for our limited and finite minds to comprehend. Think of the example
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			of you
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:15
			having a friend who gives you a car or a house. Now, at the end of the day, these are materialistic
things, but for us to understand, means you go with this example. So think that you were given a
car, let's say you needed a car, and your friend had an extra car. So he tells you that and because
of the good friendship that you enjoy, he's like, you know, take the car, use it, or take the house
use it.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:17
			You know?
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:32
			Now, at this juncture, the car belongs to your friend, but he's letting you use it. The ultimate
ownership lies with your friend. But he says, You know what, use it, it's fine. Use it, but I needed
to ask it from you.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39
			And he's so good. He's so kind hearted. He's so generous, that he lets you use it, and you're using
it for years on end.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:09:07
			But now, deep down, my dear brother, my dear sister, you know, that eventually, one day, if he were
to come and ask, you have to give it it might be difficult. It might be difficult partying, because
now you're built a relationship with that possession. Right? But you know, deep down that
ultimately, the ownership lies with your friend. And it is because of his generosity, it is because
of his kind heartedness that he gave you.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:19
			You know, for your convenience, to benefit from that particular possession in the form of a shelter
in the form of a mode of conveyance, whatever it may be.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:36
			But now, he's asking for it, you have to release it. So similarly, my dear brother, my dear sister,
everything that we have, in terms of our possessions, in terms of
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			our loved ones, in terms of our own health,
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:53
			the body that we have been given, every single thing, every single aspect was given to us by Allah
subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			And
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			as believers we know that everything will come to an end
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:21
			But what matters is how we respond when those aspects are taken from us, when those aspects when
those things when those matters are asked, how we respond. How we cope, is what matters in the eyes
of our maker subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:51
			So how how will the believers cope? How will the ones with patients cope and respond in that Illa
here in LA Rajon to Allah we belong to Him we shall return. And what is the reward for those who
respond to these calamities to these tests to these trials within alila he were in LA Roger Owen,
what will the people have inner Lila he was in LA he Roger own be rewarded with the next ayah Allah
goes on to say
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:53
			Ola
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			iica la him solo.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:59
			As you can see my dear brothers and sisters that he wants a priceless from Allah subhanho wa Taala
when you cope appropriately when you turn to the scripture for relief for comfort.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			I'd like to
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			share a hadith it is recorded in the Muslim of Imam Ahmed Rahim Allah
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:25
			amen come to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he had a son of his with him. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam looks at the men and he asks the man Do you love your son? Do you love
your son? Do you love him?
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:37
			The man says yeah rasulillah Yes, I love him. May Allah love you as I love him. So he illustrates
the immense love that He has for his son.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:52
			Then a few days passed by and the prophets that alone while I'm paraphrasing the narration By the
way, it goes along the lines of these words, days pass, and then the prophets that allow it when he
was Selim once noticed that the child was missing.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			And then he asks what happened to the son of so and so.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:02
			Then it was said to the messenger Yeah, Rasul Allah, the child has died.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:28
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then looks at the father, consoling the father, comforting
the Father. He looks at the father and he says, Would you not like to come to one of the gates of
Jenna? Would you not like to come to one of the gates of genda and find your son waiting there for
you by the gates of Jenna to welcome you into Jenna?
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:48
			demand response? Yasser Allah, is this just for me? Or is it applicable for all of us as in for
every single parent who loses a child and that's why, at the beginning of the video, I prayed for
every single parent who has gone through this trying ordeal.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:14:08
			The Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam he says, No, it is for all of you, all of you for every
single parent, my dear brother, my dear sister, if you have lost a child, you can expect that child
that beloved child of yours, waiting at the gates of Jenna, the gates of Jenna to welcome you into
Jenna.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:31
			And there are other hobbies. For example, Abu huraira are the last one who he mentioned that the
child will drag the mother drag the father into Jenna, because because this pain this loss of having
lost the child it's so heartbreaking. So the rewards are colossal, massive. There's another Hadith
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:32
			and
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			if I'm not mistaken this hadith recorded in the book of multimedia Rahim Allah.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:45
			There was a companion who after having buried his child, he seated at the gravesite.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			And then what happened
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			was that
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			words of comfort were conveyed to this individual
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:40
			Through the words of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So this companion, the narration goes
along the lines of these words, one companion is comforting another companion and he says the
prophets lie Selim is reputed to have said that when a person's child passes away, Allah subhana wa
Taala addresses His angels and he says, You have taken the child of my slave Look, listen to the
listen to the narration, my dear brother, my dear sister, a law looks at his angels and he says, You
have taken the child of my slave to which the angels respond in the affirmative, they say yes. Then
he says you that Allah subhanho wa Taala goes on to say, you have taken the apple of his eye, the
		
00:15:40 --> 00:16:35
			apple of his eye, as in you have taken something that is extremely, extremely beloved to my slave to
which the angels say yes, yeah, Allah. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala he asks the angels What did
my slaves say? And then they respond, he praised you, yeah, Allah during during this trial during
this calamity during this loss. He is in this Abbess. This vacuum, the sadness, but yet he praised
you. And he said, in LA he was in LA he Roger horn, were really to Allah we belong and unto him is
our return. That Allah immediately says, build for my slave housing Jenna, and call this house bait
will have named the house the house of praise. And you can just imagine that the child that's
		
00:16:35 --> 00:17:11
			individual lost will be in this beautiful house. This palace that has been built for him because of
having lost his child. Okay, we say lost, but in reality the child has been entrusted into the care
of Jamaica subhanho wa Taala. The child is frolicking in the gardens of Jenna, the child is
frolicking in these beautiful palaces that have been built for the child's parents for the mother
and the father. And the child is going to drag the mother dragged the father into Jenna into these
beautiful palaces.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:28
			Another Hadith while the with the Allahu anhu he narrates the prophets Allah Allison is reporter
Sarah had his record or the book of Imam Himalayan the Muslim Ummah, Dima Allah, the Prophet
sallallaahu reporter said, I swear by Allah in whose hands My soul is
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:58
			the miscarried child look or mother or sister. If you have gone through a miscarriage, look at the
words of your messenger. Let this serve as words of comfort. The miscarried child would pull his
mother will pull his or her mother with their umbilical cord to paradise if she sought a large
reward for it and if she was patient,
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:28
			a mother who miscarries she bears it with patience. She praises Allah during that circumstance of
hers. She says in Allah he were in LA Raja home that she entrusts her affairs unto Allah subhanho wa
Taala then that child that miscarried child would pull the mother would pull the parents with his or
her umbilical cord to Jenna two gentlemen, dear brothers and sisters look look at the beauty of
these narrations.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:37
			I'd like to conclude the video by touching on how a Muslim looks at afflictions.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:19:24
			We have this famous Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam where he says ajibade the umbrella mean
how amazing or what an extraordinary thing is the business of a belief or the affairs of a believer
and everything is good for him and that only applies to the believer. The Prophet sallallaahu Selim
goes on to say if good fortune is his lot, then he is grateful and it is good for him. If good
fortune is locked, he is grateful. He renders gratitude he holds on to sugar and it is good for him
if something harmful on the other hand on the flip side, if something harmful afflicts him, if
something bad happens to him, then what does he do? He holds on to patience. During good times. He
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:40
			doesn't forget Allah subhanho wa Taala he holds on to sugar and during hard times during
difficulties, he is steadfast and he holds on to patience and this is also good for him. The
headache is a recorder in the book of Mr. Muslim or Mr. Hola.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:59
			My dear brother, my dear sister, this life this worldly life is one of affliction. It is one of
trials. It is one of tribulations. This is the believers perception of this life, this worldly life
dunia. It's a lonely life, her lonely life.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:38
			Allah says Allah, Allah, Allah Mota. Well Hayato Leah Balu Akuma ucommerce Anwar mela. We understand
through that I add that this life is a test to see which one of us is best in our deeds. And we know
through the words of the Scripture through the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophets, Allah, Allah
Islam that the next life will be one of bounty, one of happiness, everlasting happiness and eternal
paradise, the beautiful and lofty garden of amache. For the one who attains it, there'll be such
bounty, such happiness in in Jenna, that
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:50
			we all sincerely pray unto Allah Subhana Allah Allah, that we are admitted into this beautiful
garden, under which under which rivers flow,
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:56
			we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us from the people of Jenna. Finally,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:13
			I would like to console every parent, every father, every mother, who has lost a child with the
words with which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam consoled a mother, whose son had died.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:43
			The Prophet sallallaahu Selim his report I've said to Allah belongs, whatever he takes, and whatever
he gives, everything has an appointed time between him subhana wa dialler. Have patience and have
hope of a reward from Allah subhanho wa Taala. This Hadith is recorded on the book of Imam Al
Bukhari. Rahim Allah. With that I conclude, desert Camilla Hara was Santa Monica rahmatullah wa
barakato.
