They didn't have fans,
and it was very hot.
So what about the 6th or the 8th
raka in Trawih?
And the imam was, you know, dehydrating,
and and he couldn't do it anymore. He
fell down during salah, and, some people in
the Masjid assumed the Imam died.
There was a doctor in the audience, not
a dentist, a doctor, and he tried to
resuscitate
him.
And some other
people in the Masjid, they said to the,
the doctor leave him alone.
This is a good time to die Ramadan.
He would be shahid, just leave him.
He said, No, no, no, you're just dying
or anything, we can resuscitate him, and he
will come back to life. No, no, no,
leave him Jannah, inshaAllah, Jannah is waiting. Actually,
let's choke him to make sure he will
go to Jannah tonight.
So eventually they resuscitated the Imam, and he
left for
so many years after. He was just dizzy,
and he fell down, oh let him die,
choke him, and So today we'll talk about
Hikma.
Hikma.
A lot of people have knowledge. You can
read books, you can gain knowledge,
not everyone has Hikma.
Hikma is a gift from Allah. So these
are not my words, these are the words
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Surah Baqarah.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives Hikma only to
whoever He wills. It is not for everyone,
Hikma is a privilege, it is not a
right.
So a lot of people have knowledge, but
no hikmah.
Where do you learn hikmah from? It's very
easy. The Aleman say, if you want to
learn hikmah,
read the Sunnah of Muhammad
And they say, every time Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala uses the word Hikma in the Quran
along with Ayatullah, Hikma here means sunnah, the
way of Muhammad
Muhammad In the Quran. So every time you
see Ayatullah,
the verses or revelations of Allah, this is
Quran. Hikma, wisdom. It means the Sunnah of
the Prophet
So if you want to be a successful
husband,
read the Sunnah of Muhammad
He was the best husband.
If you want to be
a father, read the Sunnah of Muhammad
You will be the best father. If you
want to be a successful businessman,
read the Sunnah of Muhammad
If you want to have Hikma in your
relationships with people,
to gain friends, read the Sunnah of Muhammad
SAW Alaihi Wasallam because Muhammad SAW Alaihi Wasallam
all the time he was turning enemies into
friends.
They say in the Arabic language, the smart
person is the one who turns enemies into
friends,
but the idiot is the one who turns
friends into enemies.
Muhammad
was the embodiment of Hikma and wisdom.
So what do we learn from Hikma basically?
We know that in our daily lives we
go through,
2 different things.
We either have good times or difficult times.
This is what life is all about. So
in good times you are grateful to Allah,
you say Alhamdulillah.
In difficult times you are patient, you don't
complain, you don't question Qadar Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
And,
a lot of people think when someone accepts
Islam, they need to learn from us, they
don't know anything. I remember one of the
best,
pieces of wisdom that I learned in my
life, I learned from a new Muslim back
in Edmonton,
brother Ben.
He was a new Muslim, and I was
talking to him one day, and I was
actually giving a Khuba about gratitude, and about
Hikma, and about good times and difficult times,
and he said,
Hikma and about good times and difficult times,
and he said,
the best thing that you can do in
this life, and this is my motto in
life,
if you are grateful Allah will give you
more to thank for.
If you whine Allah will give you more
to whine about.
And I told him this is a hikmah
from the Quran. It's in Surah Ibrahim, Surah
14. La'in shakartum lazidun nakumalayin kafartum inna adhabilashadeel.
If you are grateful, I will give you
more to thank for. If you whine, I'll
give you I'll hit you more so you
you keep whining. It's actually in the Quran,
but he never read it before. This is
the fitrah.
So in good times be grateful, in difficult
times be patient. And as I said before,
why should you be patient?
Because we don't know the whole thing. You
only see a small,
you know piece of the picture but Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows the whole picture. So
you should trust Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
you should trust the Qadr Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala knowing for sure that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala does what is best for you. And
this is what we eventually find out. Something
happens to you, you think it is terrible,
it ends, you know, ends out, you know,
up to be the best thing that has
ever happened to you. Something bad hap or
something good happens to you, it turns out
to be the worst thing that has ever
happened to you. So, whatever happens to you,
always look for the hikmah of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. Why did that happen to me?
If you lose a job,
maybe Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has a better
job for you,
better paying job,
better environment.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has something better
for you, but you always question why? Why
me? Like, don't question Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
La use Arwaamma yafarawwamis
Arwa.
So we should always trust the Hikmah of
Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la if you lose a
job for example.
And again, all of us are tested in
different ways. We understand if something good happens,
Yeah, we know the Hikmah, we're happy, we're
dancing in the street.
The real test is if something bad happens
when the calamity hits,
this is the time for hikmah, and this
is the time for wisdom. If you keep
in your mind, if you're patient Allah will
give you the reward, if you keep whining,
you're not going to change anything, but you're
losing the reward.
Know for sure that Allah
has something better for you. He either is
giving you something better,
or He is allowing something bad to happen
to you, to save you from something worse.
I know this story from my brother in
Egypt, many years ago. He He was traveling
from Cairo to Alexandria, and it's a long
distance, so I think it's about 4 hours
drive on the highway.
And on the way, his car broke down,
or he had a flat tire. He had
to spend the night on the way. He
couldn't make it to his house. It was
late at night,
and you know, he pulled over and he
slept in his car and he was like
he was mad. He was fuming,
steam was coming out of his head. Why
did that happen to me? Everyone's
car is driving fast. They're going to Alexandria.
I'm stuck here. Why is this? I'm all
by myself. Why did Allah do this to
me?
So eventually,
some people helped him. He changed the tire
and eventually in the morning he made it
to his house
just to realize
he was away from his house for 1
night. He spent 1 night outside his house.
By the time he went to in the
morning, he found out that the roof of
the house collapsed
on his bedroom, on his bed.
Wallahi. He said, if I was
lucky and I went to my house that
night, and I slept on my bed, I
would have been a dead man.
The roof would have collapsed on me concrete,
I would have been crushed to pieces. But
now he knows the hikmah of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. So every time something bad happens
to you,
know that there is a hikmah or something
good in disguise for you. When Abu Salama
passed away, and Umu Salama
you know, she lost her husband, you know,
she was sad,
and she used to say this dua, You
Allah Allahumajjunifimusubati
waftlufniqaira. I mean, Allah give me the reward
for my patience in this difficult time, and
give me something better, and this is Duaa
from Muhammad SAW. And she used to say
who is better than Abu Salih my husband?
And she, Muhammad SAW. And proposed and he
got married to her, and she said Fadar
Rasoolullah hikayum min Abi Salih. Muhammad SAW is
a 1000000 times better than Abu Salam. So
her husband died, so she could get married
to the best man, Muhammad SAW. Every time
something bad happens to you, look for the
good.
If you have issues with your husband, your
wife, there's always goodness in there. Muhammad said,
la yafriq mumminan
mumminatan. Inaaba min hakuluqar laviamin haaafar. If you
hate something about your wife, there are many
other things that you may like about her.
Every one of us has some goodness in
them. So if for example, if your wife
is giving you a hard time, there's always
goodness in that. The Al Amed says, first
of all, you will remember Allah all the
time. You say, Hasbi Allahu al Anamaluq. It
will help you remember Allah.
You will do Surat Al Rahim, you will
always be visiting your mom, your brothers and
sisters, you'll be sleeping over there because otherwise
you wouldn't visit them, but now you go
every night because you can't stay in your
house. You do Surat Al Rahim, it's a
good thing, you'll be getting a lot of
your words, and most importantly,
you'll be doing lots of antikaf in the
Masjid. This is the only place you can
find peace. Right? So it is a good
thing in disguise. So you shouldn't question the
Talmud Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. There's goodness in every
difficulty that you face, and the same thing
applies to the sisters, I'm not just, you
know, taking sides here. And we ask Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give us the best
in this life, and the best in Assurah,
and give us hikma ameen ameen.
The question from last night
Actually, I forgot what it was. The question
from last time Do you remember?
So Allah
says that He created us from dust in
some ayat, from mud in other ayat, and
from clay in other ayat. This is the
process of creation, so there's no contradiction here.
If I give you a loaf of bread,
and I said I made this bread from
corn or wheat, this is acceptable. If I
say I made it from flour, this is
acceptable. If I say I made it from
dough, this is also acceptable. It is a
process, so there is no contradiction here, and
this is why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala speaks
about dust and mud, and clay. It's just
a process, and it took several stages. There's
no contradiction here. And the winner is our
Yant brother Abdul Rahman, Jonayd Suhayl.
Take beer.
A question for tonight very quickly. We know
that there are a lot of prophets that
are mentioned in the Quran.
Musa alayhi salaam is mentioned by name a
136
times.
Jahisa alayhi salaam is mentioned by name 25
times.
Maryam alaihis salam is mentioned by name 32
times. That is twice the number she's mentioned
by name in the Bible. That Muhammad salam
is mentioned only 4 times. What is that?
He should be mentioned more in the Quran.
Why is Muhammad SAW is one of the
least mentioned prophets by name in the Quran?
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala does not say Muhammad,
Muhammad, Muhammad all the time. It's only 4
times. There is a beautiful hikna in there.
If you know the answer, you may or
