Well I lean into what kill what you lay at the mercy of will our hola Quwata illa Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah him.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds Peace and blessings and His Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, after saying salam and the mercy of Allah We with you all, upon all of you. We asked Allah to accept from us to forgive us to accept from Allah good deeds to give us
pure intention for his pleasure and his contentment with us. And we asked him for
useful knowledge and understanding this beneficial and wide sustenance on Him we are utterly dependent to Him is our return and that is no power and mighty extent that of Allah.
If we will continue with a hadith Tasya Asha 9/19 as Imam nawawi puts it, and to remind you, it's from Abdullah Abbas study Allahu Anhu man
who says, Come to health and to be Salallahu Alaihe Salam I was behind and in the other version in afterward Contura different we're sitting behind him on an animal writing behind him. Salah Salam yeomen a day for Allah Leah Willem he said to me, Oh young man in the limo, limo cackling MERG Let me teach you

beneficial words as it's mentioned in the other rewire as well.

Or raffia Tila Kalam or Jeff but to sort of the pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.
The addition in the other version, which is authentic.
Remind you which we'll be looking at hopefully today in Sharla and completing is the bit where a prophet saw some continued to say
what alum no and Nafi sobre Allah Tatra who Haydn cathedra know that in summer.
In that what you dislike, there is great benefits. Yeah, well Anna Nostrum out of Cebu then the summer is used again this time in different contexts and surely, victory comes with summer. What angle Faraja I'll come surely
relief comes with affliction. We're and we're under Molosser, Yusra and surely with every difficulty that is the other thing in this second version of the Hadith that's not in the first one was the bit where the Prophet SAW
wa salam said
to add Rafi Lola he federal Hi Yah and he forgot his shoe efficient I know Allah in prosperity are good times and he will know you in adversity. So we covered that kind of stuff. We were last time on the part where it's about asking a lot
where the problem is so slim said either settled there first fairly low where you start into first time biller. And we talked a bit about that last time just to finish off from that.
Broccoli size, as I said last time,
was teaching about asking and asking help, that only ask Allah directly, wherever wherever it's possible to do so. Everything is in the hands of Allah. That's why I'm trying to give
as I said last time to make believers those who are not those who are dependent but those who are independent except dependent on Allah subhanaw taala is to claw build the ties that Allah more closely and be those who give to others rather than receive and take from others we said last time, the upper hand is better than the prophesy slim said than the lower hand one that's taking.
So that was the idea and included in that I mentioned last time about asking a lot of Da isn't it to Allah subhanaw taala and as I mentioned, special time for asking Allah subhanho wa Taala
was in the last third of the night and the Hadith in Sahih Muslim or the prophesy salaam said a young Zulu Rob Guna, terracotta Allah full la Latina, Illa sama Antonia, our Lord, yeah.
Blessed and Exalted is He descends to the heavens of the earth. We don't know what that means. This realm will tell you about Allah so when I was level we don't fully understand my taste nearness that's what it means certainly to us. Out of His mercy and goodness, every night. Yeah, he's a Muslim. This happens every night. You know, your bath full of full lay, when the last third of the night is left. You know your thoughts lately, lately and ask him last time last night is left for your quote. And he says Glory be to Him. May Yeah, the only for as the G Bella. Whoever is called making dua to me calling me. Yeah. So I can answer him or her? Or maybe yes, allomi Whoever is
asking of me for ot Yahoo. So I will give to him or her. This is the asking with this mention here about
either cell Professor Lila, or my Yes. Stubblefield only for our fear Allah, whoever is asking forgiveness from me. Surely I will forgive him or her.
And actually the whole of this to our Yeah, not just the word where it says me Yes. Eleni. Whoever is asking of me that means asking something specific. Yeah, that's the idea. Yeah. But the whole of the DUA, if you think about it is asking, isn't it? Yeah. Whoever is making the art to me. So yeah, at that time, Allah say, so I will answer it. Whoever is asking something from me, I will surely give it whoever is asking forgiveness of me. I will surely grant that forgiveness. All of it is asking, isn't it? Allah subhanho wa taala.
But here, if we think about it, and this is why a lot of us doesn't use this at least to say that but manzara Bozo says there's two types of asking he divides into asking which is haram and asking,
asking which is haram meaning from human beings? And the second kind of asking, he says, is asking human beings who have the ability to give some assistance in that thing? Okay. So the Haram bit, is also indicated in this hadith of the prophets or something Sahih Muslim, when Allah is saying, whoever is making dua to me so I can answer them. Is there anybody else that we should make the honor to know?
So two of those things that are mentioned in this hadith, we only ask Allah for them.
Do Are we willing make dua to Allah? So therefore quite right these are a Bowser said to make dua to others at shrines and dead people are alive people to make dua to them is haram, this ship is a ship. Even we don't make dua
Up to the best of creation. Rasul Allah salAllahu Salam Hilsa. Have you met the love of Christ alone? They asked, they would ask him to ask Allah.
So to make go out to others, of course is haram to ask forgiveness. Yeah.
That's slightly different asking overall forgiveness from the Creator is different to asking forgiveness from a creature that's from the rights of the human being, or, yeah, because we can ask forgiveness. Forgive me say sorry to somebody. That's all right. Yeah. Not only All right, that's commendable. Yeah. But asking
real forgiveness yet in totality is only us from Allah subhanaw taala is only from Allah subhanho wa taala.
So that's given us that and asking otherwise.
Maybe various things that you're asking human beings for help with. But as we said last time, that the Hadith, which are authentic indicated at a kind of independence or dependence, yeah, and Sahaba would
try not to when the province isn't taught them less to ask others for help as much as it was possible. So that's a commendable way, which is to muster hub not to ask others for help. And yet,
that doesn't mean that you don't help others, but actually to help others. Instead, part of asking can of course mean included in that people do ask and they beg.
Begging is a form of asking, isn't it?
In this regard, begging is allowed in three situations, begging, not begging Allah begging, Allah is all the time but begging other human beings. They still have these which is reported in Sahih Muslim the hadith of visa, one of the Sahaba who says
the hammertoe Hamilton fighting to Rasul Allah He sallallahu alayhi salam S L who fee half upon I was
burdened by debt he says kabisa Yeah, so I came to the Messenger of Allah salAllahu Salam asking Him for help for that debt. Yeah, for Paula Salah Islam so the prophesy Islam said alkem had to attack a tea and the solder tattoo for now Maura laka behalf just hold on here until some clarity so that ah yeah, comes here. And then we will order the order or give you something from it
call from Nepal then he says then the prophets husband said yeah kabisa
in the mess Elata lab,
they had this philosophy or kabisa begging Yeah.
Is not allowed except in three situations allows you to have mela Hamilton for 100 level and Miss Elata a person who is burdened by debt Yeah, it is allowed for him to bank How are you see behalf so my young sick until he Yeah.
is alleviated from that debt that he must stop he or she must stop. That's the first code second one as you saw, but to Java jar here IT staff at Mueller who held up the whole mess Ella to another person
Yeah.
Who whose property is destroyed by a calamity. Yeah, it is allowed for him or her to also bank until after you see that the oil v1 and min ocol Siddhartha mechanized until he until he has the means to stand on his feet or enough to survive a live sort of normal average life by then he should stop in other words, what are you laying? I saw but too far part of hatha yoga to masala acetone, this is interesting and a person who is
smitten by poverty.
And three people.
Three, trustworthy, intelligent people from his area can vouch safe that he has been hit by this year poverty if necessary, in other words,
in other words, he's not making it
up
if he needs to be checked
for health level Mr. Allah is allowed for him or her then to beg hotter you Cebu KY man mean ice Oh policy doesn't mean a same thing
until you stand is standing on his own feet and living an average normal life enough for him to sustain himself. Now he doesn't need any more. He's not in the category of that poverty again. And then the prophesies some say for Massey well one mess ality Jacobi Seto aside from that begging for a visa of any other kind. Yeah, soft them Yeah. Who saw him who has soft? It is soft. Yeah, which the person who's doing the begging? Yeah, is eating of from this sort of soften can mean haram. But soften is also a meaning of it's like the dirt.
Yeah. Meaning you're not in any of these situations. So when you take this, it's like you're eating ramen noodle because you're begging by trickery. And you're not in a need to bank. Yeah. And he's also described salt as like dirt. Yeah, that people don't want and that from the point of view from the taker. Not from the point of view of the giver. The person giving sanitized not described the software and dirt for them. Yeah, but the one who's taking it in other words, they're taking it Yeah. When they shouldn't be taking it. And then it's seen as sinful harm and also as the so that's about the idea of asking ask Allah.
Yeah. And in what situation is the asking allowed there are three situations of begging which is allowed.
Otherwise, it is most to have not to ask people for anything and try and be independent as much as possible. Now
the
and I mentioned about asking help of Allah those things I dealt with last time just to make you post your brothers sisters reality is
that's why in every Salah every Salah, we have al Fatiha in which is and I mentioned it before he can Abu iya can stand in you alone. We worship and serve you alone. We ask for help. Yeah, whoever's given the help of Allah. We don't need any anybody or anything else. Yeah. And in those who are turned away from Allah without his help, we will not achieve anything get anywhere. We can't even be believers doing good deeds, don't fake ability even to do good deeds. Yeah. And anything, everything is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa taala. So of course we need help from Allah subhanho wa Taala to beg him for help to be able to even safeguard ourselves on set on and to carry on on slaughter
musta came with his help. Without his help, we cannot achieve anything. So the prophesy some other Hadith in a bold and unnecessary talk. And while dibny Jebel
He taught him a dua that should be said after every salah. Many of you will know that he taught him the DUA along in me, the clicker was so clicker Wahoo, snare the tip.
Oh Allah, I asked your help. Yeah. In remembering you in doing your Zika so we asking Allah, Allah help us in remembering you. Yeah. Because we know from Allah and His messenger that remembering Allah, the benefits it has, I've talked about in another situation. So but without Allah's help, we are forgetful are we, as Japan can make this Garfield so we ask Allah for help to help to remember him? What's your clicker and to be grateful to him? You know, Allah, I asked your help to, to,
to be grateful to you. Yeah, we're hosting a better tick, and I asked your help to be excellent in your worship.
Even in these things, are we bad Shaka and vicar of Allah? subhanaw taala we need Allah's help. Yeah.
Reminds me of the Hadith of the Prophet SAW Salem on the normal piano when the peroxisome comes forward to do the shafa when all the other prophets and messengers say we are unable to help go to the one whose past and future sins will forget
given and the prophesy Salam says and Allah
la ha I'm ready for it. And then the prophesised said, then Allah will teach me a DUA.
Yeah. Allah will teach me a DUA, which I will then yet recite, to before Allah subhanaw taala. So there you are even the prophesies of is dependent, totally on Allah smart Allah, Allah teaching, Allah smart, taught Adam and how were the dua after they committed the sin? Yeah, that's what the Quran says Allah says it himself.
So, of course, that, again, is showing our utter need and dependence. And that's why when you ask, ask Allah when you seek help seek Allah's help.
I wanted to
and Allah subhanaw taala helps you from places and, and, and situations where you can if you trust and turn to him sincerely where you won't expect anything to come from it comes. Yeah. So then
if we move on
from that
prophesied Salam mentioned
about
knowing that if a people, even a nice word to have a word to benefit you with something which I translated earlier, they wouldn't be able to benefit you with anything except that which Allah had already ordained or written, He controls. Well, that benefit will continue, well, the harm will come to you. Yeah, everything is the X when it says what Allah has written for you or against you means what Allah has decreed. That's the meaning of it. And raffia to Laclau, which is sort of the pens are being lifted, the pigs have been dried means this is cotton, this is what what why this is mentioned like this is not so that we think that we are much bored and forced into this direction,
like machines. Yeah, we have no choice. Other is Allah's knowledge. And the idea of the pens being lifted and the pages dried, of course of you know, we discussed in detail before, refer to Hadith number two, I don't want to repeat everything that I said there about the length and cover. This is just a brief summary of what we already discussed. But here the idea of the pen has been lifted, and the page is dried, is referring to that which has passed you by. In other words, if you're going to benefit with anything, then then you would have benefited from it. If Allah had decreed it, don't cry over spilt milk if you didn't benefit from it. And if you are faced if you've already faced the
harm, then you are meant to face that harm. Yeah. Again,
no point having the looking back at the regret of that that was what you were meant to face. And that was what you were
going to have tribulation or prosperity all in the hands of Allah subhanaw taala. Again, telling you not to depend on people linked with asking, don't ask people asking for help. Don't ask people. Yeah, don't depend on people. People themselves can't even control for themselves, never mind control what they can do to you. So it actually emboldened us to realize that if Allah wills it will happen. Yeah. Not arrogant. Yeah, not arrogant, but emboldened and a closer to Allah suada with that realization, that no harm, no benefit can come to me, except what Allah's Will, which turns me only towards Allah subhanaw taala in the end, again.
And that idea, of course,
is many places in the Quran.
The prophets, Allah, Allah says in the Quran, for example,
in Surah Al Imran verse 154, which was after verse one of a hug, yeah. And
the hypocrites because it was a loss for the believers in a hug. We're trying to say or we told you not to go out to fight over there. Remember 300 of the hypocrites turned back after coming out with the prophets. I still love to go back to Medina. So they they betrayed the Muslims in that sense. And then they were making snide remark
afterwards, if they if those people didn't go out they would have got killed blah blah blah So I'm not saying coil Loken don't feeble you t con la Barisan Lavina katiba la he will talk to Eli Melba Jerry game, say or Muhammad. If you have been in your homes even those who it was written for them to be killed would have come to their places. If Allah has decreed that that was what was going to happen, there was no way out of it. So no point looking back and say I shouldn't have come out and this is a negative way.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says going are you mad at your own immune only in our odd and the in our OB me Allah will be the room in our log Anil Allahu Beegle been held home. Shiva don't really owe any our Lord any BRAF Murthy in * one seeker to ruff Murthy will have to be a long one I
am here to tell moto workI low on Surah Zomer Surah 39 verse 38. Allah says, say do you see you realize
that those who you call them besides Allah, if Allah willed for me any harm? Yeah. Is there any of those that you're calling those idols? And is there anything from them that can remove away removed from me that harm? Yeah.
Oh, if Allah wills for me mercy, is there any FROM AMONGST THEM that can hold back that mercy? Yeah.
Who can hold back that mercy of his of Allah's mercy? Say, has been Allah? Allah is enough for me. Yeah, I lay here to work, work. lol matawa kilo, on him. The people who are mutawa killing, actually those who are the ones who are utterly dependent depend only on him. Yeah, when Allah subhanaw taala. So that's the same idea being brought out raffia de la Tulum, like Jeff said to so forth, again, Allah subhanaw taala says, this is referring to cut the resonate again as I said before,
for things that have gone
it is not saying to you,
as is reported in say Muslim because he was Sahaba had some kind of
difficulty understanding.
The this idea so inside Muslim and Tirmidhi we have Hadith where even the OMA reports when the prophesy Salam said in the locket Deedle holla surely Allah has written the measures for it's for the preachers
blah blah and yes, look at sama what
will become seen al Sunnah.
Yeah, before Allah created the heavens and the earth by 50 50,000 years, this is all in delay. Even the 50,000 years we don't really understand what that means. It's a measure of time with Allah smart Allah who is outside time, but the idea that Allah smart Allah already knows. That's the idea. So Java from Java inside Muslim man says Yeah, another Sula or messenger of Allah. Female Allah yo
Yeah.
A female just foot and B Hill aplomb, what job would be Hill Makati am female? Yes, that will. How do you see the our deeds here the deeds nowadays in our present time? Is it yet that which the pens have dried upon already? Yeah. And that which Allah has been written in his for the measure for us? Yeah. Or is it that something? Is it that something which is established in the future? So he's given this idea of other which the other RIA
Yeah.
A small sect of believers had the idea that the faith is established by us as we do it, Allah just finds out as we do it, yeah, which is the popular Christian idea of other as well.
So, and this is what this Sahabi sinckler prophesizing upstream. So the problem is that some rejects this idea he says, Let Belfie magic be his apply.
Mmm, yeah, it's not that you're doing it. And Allah is not aware what you're doing and now Togolese fate is established. It is what the pens have already dried upon the doors Allah already knows. Yeah.
Then look what the man says. He says, For female Amel, the A saying what's the point of them doing anything? Because if you're saying it's already been decided, yet, this is the response you get from a person who doesn't understand the idea of other than what's the point in other words, so the problem is, as Tom said, Malou for Colombo, yes, Sara Lima kala, kala, yeah. He said, you carry on with your intention of doing good deeds. Yeah.
So he says everyone is facilitated for what he or she was created for.
If you want intend to do good deeds, then Allah will open the doors and waits for you to do good deeds, if you intend on doing bad deeds, and that's the way you will go. Yeah, Allah is not forcing you. In other words, you make the decision. So the even tinier said nicely said, for that, of the best way, just to remember is the power and knowledge of Allah but what you have done, yet to look at it as that's what was meant to happen, it's already happened. Right? And, and you face the consequences of that, trusting in Allah subhanaw taala. And that what is in front of you, make your sincere intentions and strive alongside almost Hakeem to better yourself and do good to please Allah
subhanaw taala Yeah, and hope and pray, asking Allah and His help that Allah will open the ways and facilitate good for you because you're sincere, in your belief and reliance on him. That's the way to understand
these comments here in the Hadith, which had to do with again, reliance on Allah subhanho wa taala. Really, as well as product, the idea of kind of being mentioned here is really to show complete dependence of Allah subhanaw taala of how powerless we really are. Yeah, and yet Allah smart Allah in His wisdom has given us the choice. The ability to make choices
prophesized the love then says and and we go to the second version of the Hadith for a few editions, and
he says
why lamb? No, enough is sobre la textra. Who Hi Ron cathedra surely in southern upon that which you dislike is great benefit is great benefit.
Even Roger
tends to divide the summer into two kinds.
He says
that there's a southern Yeah, when you're facing that which you dislike yet.
But you are.
Well, how does he put it?
You are happy with it? Yeah.
You're happy with it.
You're content with it. Let's put it that way of facing this tribulation, even though you dislike it, so it could be pain, suffering, whatever it is, but you're content with it. Yeah. And he one place he says and he says this is the higher level of suburb and in one place, he says that it is that you do not have the hope or wish for it to pass away this pain and this suffering. Okay. And then he said, I'll come back to that. Then he says the second kind of suburb is Yeah, of a lower category, but it's it's still a good was the hub. Yeah. All logic. Yeah.
And that is that
the one you're not happy with it, you're not content with it.
But you're patient. Yeah. You're patient in Allah.
Depending on Allah subhanho wa taala. However you are wishing and hoping for it to to dissipate and go away the suffering that you're facing.
So
I was thinking I
about this and I not necessarily in agreement with Kevin Roberts Roger Bom this.
Firstly, I don't think the Hadith actually obviously differentiates that I remember mentions two kinds of sub is not these two kinds. This is still dealing with the first kind of some of that is having SUBUD where the prophesies some said, yeah, in
having suburb and I'll explain this suburb in a minute.
Allah ma textra Hall halen cathedra on that which you dislike. Yeah. That is great, great good in it. Clearly the prophesized I'm saying himself that you dislike it. So if you dislike it, the pain and suffering, how are you going to be pleased with it? At the same time, who, which human being is pleased in being in suffering in this world or the hereafter, even in this world?
And certainly not, not with the idea that I don't wish it to dissipate? What does that mean? Which human being a believer otherwise, even though you're below his salaam, he had to wait for a long time. It's not that he didn't wish it for the suffering to go away. Of course he did. That's the whole point of dua to Allah subhanho wa taala, isn't it to give you somewhere, but also for it to go away? So I don't accept this. Because I don't think this is human nature, that this is the high level of suburbs where you are actually pleased with affliction, and trial and tribulation. And you don't want it to go away. No, I can't see that the prophesize them didn't like to be in the state of
suffering anyway. That's not his son on his way. Yeah. So I, I would say that it is talking about of course, there's no difference. Reality is it's having patience.
Patience. Yeah. Not losing it. Not getting angry and saying against God, things that you'll regret. Yeah. But being patient means still having the character and quality to,
to continue serving Allah subhanaw taala. Yet, if one limb goes use the under limb, if you like, if you're unable to stand up and pray, then you sit down and pray. If you can't even sit down and pray you lie down and still pray. Yeah, this the idea, also of someone relying on the sun, but you're hoping Allah does not give you Shiva? Don't we pray for Shiva, under the pain and suffering will go so you can stand up and pray again. Yeah. And you get set up back again.
So I think that's really the idea of Southern and when Allah snipers in nama you walk for sabe Luna Angela whom big lady Sam, surely those who have suffered patients and steadfastness they will be completely rewarded.
Their reward will be without any account, meaning limitless reward. So Allah says in the Quran, and what Bashir is saw, but even give glad tidings to the Savarin. Allah Latina either are small, but whom we'll see but when this is the kind of subject it's talking about in this part of the body. The Quran says, give glad tidings to those who are patient, those who went any kind of calamity or difficulty or tribulation befalls them, bear say, in gnarly law, who you are in that you lay your logic on. Not just words, surely, yeah, we belong to Allah. And surely to Him is our return? Will we're totally dependent on him. And that's how they continue
knowing my Asami musi Mateen, Elizabeth May Allah as the Quran says, No tribulation or difficulty or trial befalls, except by the will of Allah, back to the idea of Allah controlling everything. Yes, we know, it can only happen if Allah wills it. May your MIM Billahi Yeah, what do you call it
isn't sort of tabula rasa. And whoever believes in Allah, Allah will guide his or her heart in that during that tribulation and time. So I'm afraid
even Roger, I disagree with in that with the greatest of respect for him, that the some of that we're talking about here about what one dislikes as the prophesy Salam says, Yeah, from the hardship is to have somewhere in that which you dislike. There is great benefit in it, which is what I've been saying in the as I just mentioned,
as well. How these people are rewarded, rewarded. Now.
However,
Let's look at the profit side some mentions
salary again now he says well and enough drama or something and know that victory comes with Southern this victory
with Southern
gives an indication of
a different meaning of summer doesn't mean
and hear what he's talking about victory. It you can say that this kind of summer is really talking about
how shall I put it victory going with summer is talking about steadfastness
steadfastness victory comes with saba.
Meaning that it can include here. The idea of summer here is jihad,
jihad, but the element of jihad here also has two aspects. It can be jihad, enough's, jihad of the self control, and jihad to mean physical in the way of because well fighting, both are implied here. That victory comes
with summer with steadfastness with firmness with control and strength. That's where he's talking about, unless you're steadfast in the face of when war is happening, the face of the enemy in battle, not cowardice to run in the other direction, but steadfast. Yeah.
Then there's, of course, if you do the opposite is little chance of victory. So victory comes with Southern we steadfastness and that kind of strength, that victory may be victory in dunya. But it may be that you get shahada and you do so get victory. Yes. That the Shaheed is victorious as well. So victory comes with summer in a physical sense of cabal and fighting then the other type which is
jihad as well but you had enough as all of our COVID Even Roger
mentioned that as well. And
just give me one second let me just find where he mentions it
Yeah.
And I'm amazed that it will resume in this one because many people believe that this to be an authentic hadith from the Prophet SAW Islam. But quite rightly, even Roger doesn't mention it like that. He actually points out that this is not authentic hadith related from the Prophet so Salam as people plan his his days, but it is a statement of
I'm saying this that is a statement of a pious Tabby II called imminent abhi Abdullah Yeah, even OB Hypno Abby, ignore a we Abdullah, who, who said to a people at this time, who came back from fighting in the way of Allah, when they came back, he said to them,
to middle jihad, asthma from Alpha album filled Jihad Akbar, you've come back from doing the lesser jihad. So I wonder how you will fare and do in the greater jihad. They said to him, so what's the greater jihad? They thought the combat from the greater Jihad he said, jihad? Jihad neffs. Yeah, your struggle is striving against yourself. Yeah. And that is known as a suburb.
Someone here means if you do a suburb conquer, but you had enough is when shadow worth and desire come and checked on tries to entice us towards haram fall in that direction. Yeah. To control oneself from going there and have that that's Southern, that requires Jihad and a struggle. Yeah. That is requiring Jihad and struggle to control oneself from falling into the trap of all the desire inside trying to push you that way. That is subpar. Yeah. So that is also the idea of not this is not your facing tribulation kind of so what is it that was coming already? This is not tribulation. This is you're being tested.
shaytaan pulling in the direction of from your desires. Yeah, with haram things, and to control yourself to have that steadfast and solid
control. Yeah, that is victory comes with somebody victory over shaitan here. Yeah. Victory over the desires here. Victory over haram to please Allah subhanho wa Taala which is big
for believers and and in that sense of the Hereafter
so
I hope that's
clarifies that then then we have the prophesy so I'm saying after miss the two kinds of sub proposal Aslam said we're en el fondo Jama al Kalam where and I'll see you soon
okay
another third John Malkovich. It's important that for the non Arabs to realize that the word is Faraja Farage, yeah. And this shows you pronunciation and getting the Fatah and Khasra and stuff right is important. Because if you say instead of Faraja and you say Funch it has a totally different meaning. Yeah, 5g means private parts. Yeah.
Fun to means private parts.
But 5g has the same route that has to do with relief are opening a place Yes. So that's the idea of furniture as well. But here it means relief, not Farage far with a Fatah round with a rod with a Fatah. And Jim, it means relief. Yeah. Relief comes and it says mal cattle with affliction with affliction.
Some people got bogged down by it literally became a bit literalist about it and said, Oh, well, it means doesn't mean after it means with
no reality is
that relief comes with affliction doesn't literally mean only comes immediately with it. It can mean that there is relief of something else. At the same time was the affliction. Yeah. But language is real meaning is that yeah, that relief does come and it may come very soon. That's the idea of
with
it may come later in this world, or later in the hereafter even Yeah. Later in the hereafter even. So relief comes with affliction. Yeah.
So I lost my glasses says for example, in the Quran, who will levy who will levy Yunus ZIL, Jonas ZIL. Hi Sam in that email honor to
Chu Raff Mehta. It is He Who sends down the rain after Yeah, they have become full of despair. And He sends down spreads around. Yeah, he's mercy. Yeah. Well Allah says, when when the people are faced with calamity and tribulation affliction hackberry Akula Rasul will Latina and Manu ma metallus Rolla Allah in Nasrallah here party, but until the messenger and those believers who are with him, they call out, when will the help on Allah come? Yeah, surely the help of ALLAH is nice night near. So, you know, in times of affliction relief can be actually death can be a relief.
Yeah. And if somebody's trust in Allah, and believed, then that relief will be not just death, but what comes after it is the relief. Yeah, what better relief than to be
a be a martyr, what better relief then to be given the glad tidings of being in paradise forever and ever? So that's the idea of really can be even better after what not what you see necessarily here.
So,
and
here, I want to say this also mentioning something which is interesting how to understand that relief comes with affliction, and the next part is that
Uh
Yeah. Well and what Nomad was for us, with every difficulty comes ease.
If you think about it, whether sisters if we don't know what affliction is, we'll never know what relief is
not right.
If we don't know what affliction or difficulty is, then we'll, if we don't know what sadness is, we don't know what happiness is. If we don't know what affliction is, we'll never know what relief is. And that's why it says, surely, yeah, relief comes with affliction. You only realize what relief is when you've had affliction. This is the nature and laws of Allah.
Upgrade. Yeah. The people are constantly going through the cycles, trial difficulty affliction, belief, trial, difficulty of fixing relief. Yeah, relief does come. Some people, when somebody dies, for example, whose loved one they think I'm never going to get over this, I'm going to cry all the time. I'm not going to eat I'm just going to starve and die to death doesn't happen, does it? Because you actually after some time, can't carry on pray. And you may feel done, but you carry on you get up and start living the vast majority of the cases it happens. Yeah.
And that's why it's for believers to despair like that for long periods of time is not acceptable is not trusting in Allah's justice and his decision either. Yeah, so relief does come.
And the story of the NBR Are you believe Islam, classic, and many others, whether it's usable Islam, all of them went through affliction and relief from Allah subhanho wa taala.
So the idea of, that's the idea that you can only realize what a relief is when hardship happens, sort of the ease here, or relief can be at the same time, because you may have hardship in one thing, and then you have relief from something else. That's also possible, isn't it? Yeah. Life is complex. Yeah. So one hardship comes, but you might get relief from something else. So that can be at the same time? Yeah.
We're under Farah Jana alkyl. Yeah. Or that particular affliction? Yeah.
It may mean, you get used to the affliction that comes in relief content as well. Yeah.
You get used to it. Yeah, I get paralyzed for life. Initially, it's so such a massive thing, but with the right attitude and trusting in Allah when we get used to it, and then the there is relief.
Yeah, even though you stay in a mistake in a paralyzed state.
That's just one simple example.
So, why Allah why the police are mentioning this about with difficulty comes the same idea, same idea, difficulty with comes with may ease in something else at the same time, the ease may come soon, it may come later, or the ease may come in Donia later on or even the asker is comes. Why this is mentioned. Surely with
relief comes with affliction and ease comes with
or without every difficulty that is is.
It's again, as the overarching message of the hadith is, is not giving up and despairing but depending on Allah subhanho wa Taala and always hoping for, for His goodness upon His mercy, His forgiveness, his relief, his ease in the way furrows Yeah.
Yeah, that hence asking him only
asking his help only Yeah, knowing that nobody else can help us save us harm as benefit us only Allah swallow. That's the message of the Huggies. So even this part is all linked and revolving around the same thing has been told of blunderbuss and as after that, yeah.
Be mindful Allah subhanaw taala because everything's is in isn't control. He will help you if you are always mindful and going towards Allah subhanaw taala. Yeah, he'll be there for you. Yeah.
In this world and the next and he will help you. He will ease it for you to pass along the Serato master game, and when you face difficulties, be patient and he will be there for you as well. Yeah, with with much good in reward.
And so that's the over
arching message of the Hadith, which ends
with a few words, which is
already said have already mentioned them
no malice for your stuff, and with every
difficulty comes is. So I hope that in the end what I've said in the last few moments summarizes the whole gist of what this hadith is about.
And all the different elements of it are revolving around the same thing. The core of it is our dependence and reliance and turning to Allah our Creator. That's the the objective of this teaching of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
I call the quality harder. What's the federal law in order for Rahim? Any questions brothers sisters?
Nope.
All right.
So far, nothing written.
No shake, no, nothing in the chat.
That's fine. And give it another 30 seconds if somebody wants to ask otherwise, we'll solve Okay, can you hear me? Oh, they can. Mr. Lamba how are you? Hope you're well
for your wonderful informative session as well, as he was actually quite surprised by when you were first reading about what Ibn Rajab was was saying about almost having to
endure the suffering as in that was almost like a wish and I'm homeless delighted actually that you disagree with it because it did sit as somebody who's lay it sat quite uncomfortably with me thinking that I just don't understand what what he's talking about. Perhaps it's a higher spiritual level than what I'm capable of. But it is lovely that mashallah you do give us your opinion, your learner's opinion. I just wanted to thank you for that because it's much needed, okay. Because many times when we do try to read books and or interpretations, I think sometimes we might not get the full meaning and just assume that the author is the one who always has the right opinion of the
Hadith. So it is it is very fortunate are humbled and nice to have you as a good resource on this such as,
like set per month and forgive us Everything good is from him. I mean, it's semi and and you're right, I think it's the background of our dear respected, wonderful scholar Ibn Rajab is a Sufi background and I think that's the kind of thing but i i It doesn't fit with the Sunnah
of Allah are we created human beings and now with neither one messenger prophets
no prophet a messenger wanted to remain in suffering
was it a lucky Do you think in the hope of perhaps attaining a higher award for us on Tala with the well it goes on
the idea is endurance anyway and suburb that's why me but not the idea of I don't wish this to go away. That's cool. That's what I had a problem with. Course, because a horse Yeah, Allah give me relief. Yes, that's all we'll be praying would meet with somebody we will say, because the idea is when we suffering, the idea is that that Allah when he loves somebody, he gives them trials, because it makes them turn back to him and make dua to him. What the making dua for ya allah carry on making me suffer. Yeah, I like it. I'm making those asna for Allah I was gonna say that. Of course he wasn't there a story of a Sahaba who actually did that he was asking.
He was on target for the punishment in this life rather than the Hereafter. And was it not that the Prophet SAW so I'm warned people against doing that. Because there's Allah santalo is very severe when it arrives, and better to seek Allah's forgiveness. I don't know whether that wasn't authentic.
But one thing that I did read and I was just,
I can't remember that but that are
Hadith to do with don't ask to be put in to be punished. Yes. Or to be put into to be put to trial or tribulation.
Obviously, I'm asked the opposite in the DUA, which I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. He's saying and if you're going to try and get tribulation to people, yeah, take me before you you before that tribulation comes
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Yes, thank you. Okay, just wanted to discuss if someone has
any other questions
all right.
We will close that and that's all right. Yes, Chef Ferran.
Next week inshallah we'll be starting, believe it or not at least number 20. We're creeping and crawling along.
hope people are not in a haste to finish the 42.
That wasn't my outcome. Of course we want to complete it. But if you want the cursory review of it, there's much material around, but you just need to move on. No problem. That's not my objective.
As you know,
yeah, sorry. Sure. Can I just quickly ask what is out of this context? When is the worry about this? Or is it a virtual talk on Saturday? And welcome on Don.
Oh, where? Sorry, I didn't understand the question. Just just wondering whether the ramadhaan talk on Saturday, is it is it virtual or is it coming to the center Believe it or not?
