So before we begin, inshallah, I'm gonna ask
you kindly for your dua for sister, Umu
Musham.
She, alhamdulillah, she's not feeling well, but the
family is asking for your dua that Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will give her shifa, a
speedy recovery, and a longer healthy life. Ameen,
Ameen.
Okay. We'll continue our discussion inshallah about the
name of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Arlazakh.
And as we mentioned before, people think of
risk as only money.
But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala shawls His risk
on us in so many different ways.
Maybe a good health is, is your risk
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. A good education,
a good family,
good husband or wife,
good kids,
a house, a car, a job. There's so
many blessings from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
we mentioned aflaq,
good manners, as one of the,
types of risk from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And there are so many things, good friends,
and so on and so forth, so money
is not the only thing.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is very fair
when he gives out the risk.
Someone will say: Okay, what do you mean
fair? Because some people have 1,000,000 or billions,
and people
starve to death. Where is the fairness?
If you look at the way Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala distributes risk, given in mind or
keeping in mind the things that I mentioned
at the beginning,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will give you lots
of things,
and would take one thing out from you.
So, for example, if he gives you a
good health, a good family,
a car, a house, maybe you will lose
your job. If you have a good job,
you have a good wife, you have money,
you don't have kids.
If you have a wife, and kids, and
money, you don't have health.
So why is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala doing
this? Because,
if he gives you everything,
you will turn your back on him,
and this is mentioned in many places in
the Quran. وَالَعْعِ
الله
If Allah
were to were to show His rizq with
everyone,
and give you everything you want,
you will turn your back with Him.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said, If I
give you everything you want or everything you
need in life, you turn your back on
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. But if he takes
one thing from you, you'll be crying and
you say You Allah, give me a good
wife, give me kids, give me money, give
me health. You'll be praying for something,
and this is why Allah
is doing this, to keep your good company.
So he will ask him for something, and
this is something that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
loves for people to ask him.
So I mentioned before, good akhla
is a good thing, good kids
who, obey you,
who will make Dua for you when you
leave this world, and this is a salat
Hajjariyah for you, they give donation on your
behalf, it's a good thing.
Having good children is one of the greatest,
yanidahts of rizq from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
I'll give you one story.
There was a Sultan a long time ago,
and they say it's a true story. He
was traveling in the Khilafah, and he came
across,
a little kid,
8 years old, 9 years old,
so he said, Let me check the intelligence
of this guy.
So he said, look at my diamond ring
here.
Have you ever seen anything more beautiful than
this ring? And the kid said, yes, of
course. And he said, what is it? He
said, your finger is more precious than the
ring. He says, oh my God, this guy
is smart.
And he said, okay.
He said, what is
better? Your house, the house of your father,
or my palace?
He said, it's very easy.
If you are in your palace, your palace
is better than our house. But if you
come to our house, our house will be
better than your palace. Said, man, this guy
is smart. So he said, let me test,
you know, you know, how smart he is
again.
So he gave him one coin, one golden
coin, and he says, okay, take this and
give it to your family. One golden coin.
So the kid said, I can't take it.
So the the Sultan said, okay, why? He
said, because,
you know,
my mom will say, who gave it to
you? So the Sultan say, well, say the
Sultan gave it to me. He said, my
mom will say, you are a liar, you
are a thief. You stole this one golden
coin. And the sultan said, Why? He said,
Because my mom will say, the sultan is
not cheap to give you only one coin.
If it was the sultan, he will give
you lots of money. So he gave him
a bag of gold, and he went to
his family with gold.
And now they they, you know, they, they
believed him. Yes, it is the sultan, not
just one coin.
So he was smart.
Okay. The last thing I want to say,
we know that your risk is coming from
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and I've seen so
many people because I do counseling, and all
the problems come to my office,
people fight with each other for money,
because they think Some people worship the dollar
men, in God we trust.
Which God? The dollar.
It is written right then, in God we
trust. This is the God they trust. So
they cut off their relationship with their parents
for money.
They cut off their relationship with their relatives,
brothers, sisters. They fight. They take each other
to court over money.
Some people don't pray Dur Ibadah because they
dedicate all their time to money.
Believe me brothers and sisters, your risk is
coming your way anyway, as we mentioned last
night. So you have to fulfill your duty
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Dur Ibadah. You
are here to worship Him and serve Him.
Wa'maqalaqdujinnawal
min sa ilayahu wudun. And your risk is
guaranteed from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
There is one ayah in Surah Nahan,
where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says.
Because when the Prophet SAW told the Sahaba,
let's do Hijra to Madinah,
some of them said, okay, we're gonna leave
our jobs here, our homes,
everything behind. What are we how can we
eat in Madinah?
So this Ayah was revealed in Surah Nakhl,
where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, Waqa'ayim
min daafatin.
La'ataghmulur
istaa Allahu wa zuka'awa iyag.
He's telling them, look at the birds, look
at the animals.
They don't carry money, they don't have they
have no credit cards, they have no bank
accounts, and Allah is sending them the risk
all the time. So learn from the animals,
and learn from the birds. The Sahaba are
told to learn from animals and birds. Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is giving risks to everyone.
So I'm gonna conclude with this sad story,
1 or 2 minutes inshallah. It's a very
sad story.
There is a man,
he had 2 children,
1 boy and 1 girl. The story happened
over
50, 60 years ago.
So before the man died,
he wrote all the land
for his son,
giving none to his daughter, because this is
the village culture, and like in Egypt for
example, this is the culture that where I
grew.
Because I believe, how can I give the
land of my family to a stranger, an
outsider? And the outsider is
your brother-in-law.
Right? So that was the mentality.
So the grandfather
gave the land to his son,
none to his daughter, and his daughter took
her brother to court for over 30 years.
35 years, she was fighting him, and because
her brother had a contract from his father
that this land is his, his sister lost
all the time.
So when this man
died after many years,
2,004,
one of his children decided to give back
the land to his aunt.
He called her, she didn't want to talk
to him. You did me wrong. I don't
want to talk to you. You're not related
to me.
So he said, you know, forgive us, we
made a mistake.
What's your land worth? It was about $4,000
at the time. He gave us the money
for the land, and he gave us he
gave her the money for the rent for
all the years that his dad was keeping
the land.
And the reason he did this, because after
his dad passed away, he saw him in
a vision, and his dad was in a
bad shape.
He was miserable, and he said, What happened?
He said, Because I owe I owe the
land to your your aunt, so you have
to give it back.
So he did everything he could to give
the money or the land to his aunt.
She said, I just want the money, I
don't need the land. He gave her the
money, and he gave her the money for
the rent as well.
Then he saw a dream of his father,
in a good shape, he was happy, alhamdulillah.
Because he fulfilled his dad's obligation,
so now he can rest in his grave
in peace.
And alhamdulillah she took the land, and this
brother SubhanAllah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala blessed him
the same month. He paid about 4,000
to his aunt, to give her back whatever
was taken from her many years earlier, and
wallahi, the same month, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
sent him $8,000
from Allah. He didn't do anything, they gave
him as a gift from somewhere.
So, he ended up You know, he gave
her 4, Allah gave
him $8,000 So he didn't actually pay anything,
and Allah gave him the reward for whatever
he did. Why? Because he was not afraid
for his risk, his risk was guaranteed by
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. The man in the
story is my dad,
the lady in the story is my aunt,
and the guy in the story is me.
So because if I tell you in the
story you say, Oh, you don't know, it
didn't happen to you, you're telling us fictional
stories, it happened to me.
I was not afraid for my rizq, I
gave my aunt her rights, and Allah gave
me back the same month and double.
So I'm sure, if you owe someone something,
give it back to him, and Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala will take care of you. Don't
be afraid of rizq, it is guaranteed.
Qalamindafat infillathakillah
Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah.
It
is mentioned in the Quran. We ask Allah
Allah Allah to bless our risk, and give
us risk, Allah Allah InshaAllah.
Question for last night?
What was the question?
This this was an easy one. Rijalah in
Arabi does not necessarily mean men. In this
particular case, it means on foot.
Alarizlihi
rijalan, it means walking on foot, walaybuliabham
and they come on camels as well. So,
not as this guy said, Hajj is only
for men, the ayah doesn't say men, it
says everyone will come on foot, And the
winner is brother Iqra Muhammad.
Iqra
Muhammad.
Maja Allah Takbir.
Exactly.
So question for tonight is kind of difficult,
and this is one of the big accusations
against the Quran. They say the Quran has
grammatical mistakes.
We go home, go to Surah 4, Surah
Nisa, Ayah 162.
There's something there.
There's this Ayah that talks about the believers,
and every word in the Ayah is Marfur,
it has wal Nun at the end, there's
one word that that is, Mansoor, You Noon.
So in the Arabic language, there is an
issue here. Like in Allah Sihoona, Rasihoona has
1 Noon. Like in Allah Sihoona Filalmi minhum,
Wal mumminunat
Wal mumminun. Yomminun Abimamunzila ilaikawamamunzila ilaikawamamunzila ilaikawamamunzila ilaikawamamunzila
min kabliqwalmukimin
as sa'at has YAR Noon. There is an
issue here.
Everything is malfor, and when you have the
conjunction Wa in the Arabic language, if the
word is malfor, the next one is malfor.
But this one is masoor. What is going
on here? Why is it malsoor?
How do you explain this? So if you
know the answer, this is a very critical
question that Islamophobes
raise against the Quran. They say it has
mistakes. If you know the answer, for ayah,
surah 4, ayah 162 in Surah Nisa. If
you know the answer, email me before tomorrow.
