So today's means to get closer to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is to be always pleased
with whatever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives you
or takes from you.
Some people,
as Allah tells us in the Quran, when
He showers his bad deeds and his favors
and grays on them, they turn their backs
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
But if something bad happens to them, they
lose a beloved one, they fall sick, they
go to prison,
they have to take a surgery,
now they remember Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And as soon as they're covered,
and as soon as they bury their dead,
and as soon as they get money or
something, they forget
about Allah completely.
It may happen
Allah speaking in chapter 2 Surah Al Baqarah.
It may happen that you hate something
and it is good for you.
And it may happen that you love something
and it is bad for you. And Allah
knows and you don't know.
Some people they commit
a terrible sin if something bad happens to
them. Not only they are displeased with Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, but they complain to people.
Look what happened to me. I lost my
job, my son died, my dog died, look.
They complain to people about the conduct of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
And if you know people, you will never
complain to them about Allah Subhanahu Waala
because Allah Subhanahu Waala is the Most forgiving
and He is the Most Merciful.
And the doctors told him, you we have
to cut off your foot, otherwise, the disease
will spread out to your body and you
will die.
He said, Alhamdulillah. It's not a problem.
Then they told him, we have to intoxicate
you first before we cut off your foot.
Otherwise you will die from the pain.
He said, how come you ask me
to drink something that will keep my mind
away from remembering Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? I
will always remember Allah even if you cut
my foot. So they cut his foot off
in the salah, and he was remembering Allah
while they were cutting
off his foot. And he was saying, Alhamdulillah.
A few hours later, the same day, one
of his 2 sons fell off the roof
of the house and died.
So when the news came to him he
said, Alhamdulillah.
And he kept repeating Alhamdulillah, Ashupulillah, Alhamdulillah.
So people, they said,
what's wrong with you? Your son just died,
you lost one of your feet. Why why
are you why are you thanking him? What's
good? What's good? He said, I'm thanking Allah
because he gave me 2 feet, and he
took one of them, he could have taken
the 2.
And he gave me 2 sons, and he
only took 1 of them, he could have
taken the 2. So I'm grateful to Allah
for what he took, and I'm thankful thankful
for what he left.
So I'm all be thankful to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
About the a pregnant sister who has to,
break her fast in Ramadan, what can she
do to make up for the day?
The answer is she would have to make
up the days after Ramadan,
and the this is the opinion of the
majority of the scholars. Some scholars and some
of the sahaba like Abdullah Abbas and Abdullah
Abu Muhammad, may Allah be pleased with them,
they said she may
give food to the poor in place of
this day. She doesn't have to fast. So
either way, she fasts, she makes up the
days, or she feeds a poor person for
every day, either way, both of them are
acceptable.
The question for today, the Prophet says,
arakaha in which Suratul Fatiha is not recited,
is not acceptable.
The Fatiha after he's done reciting Fatiha.
What what about your salah? Is this? Is
this rakah acceptable, or do you have to
recite Fatiha after he is done? Although he
recites the Surah of the Quran right after,
he doesn't give you time to recite Fatiha.
What should he do?
The winner for yesterday, his sister Samira Salman,
is there anyone to take their 40 more
places? Yeah. I'm asking for you.
Where?
