Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 15 Gratitude II Ramadan 2012

So the prophet

talks about health

and how it is a great nirma, a

blessing from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And many

Hadith who just mentioned one today. So the

prophet says, whoever of you

is safe in his community

and is healthy in his body and has

the food of one day, he is the

king of the world. This is the meaning

of

the hadith.

So

to be thankful for these favors, you have

to remember that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has

given you all this. And all you need

to do at least is to say thank

you to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Imagine your life without eyes.

How would your life be?

Will you be able to go to school?

Will you be able to go to work,

travel, play soccer?

Will you be able to find a beautiful

wife?

They will just marry anyone in the street

and you'll be happy. You don't

know. Can you imagine your life without kids

if you're not able to have kids? How

much money would you pay to be able

to have kids? Those who can have kids.

How much money will you pay for your

eyes and your ears and your legs and

your kidney and liver? How much? 1,000,000 of

dollars?

So this poor man came to his and

he was complaining about poverty, that he doesn't

have enough money.

So the scholar said, would you give up

your eyes for a $100,000?

He said, no.

Would you give up the ability to hear

for a $100,000?

Said, no. Would you give up the ability

to speak for a $100,000?

No. Would you give up your arms for

a $100,000?

No. Your feet for a $100,000?

No. So he said, why do you complain

about Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? He questioned him

and his khadab, and he gave you 5

organs.

The 5 of them are worth a $100,000.

You should be thankful and grateful to Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

So this story is from one of my

friends.

His name was Rajin, and it was the

last year in college. And,

he couldn't memorize Qur'an whatsoever.

So I asked him. That was the last

day in the oral examination of Quran, and

the examiners came from outside our,

department.

So I told him, how did you pass

in the last 4 years although you don't

even be Moi'as Fatihah? How how did you

pass?

He said, it is so easy. I'm the

first to go to the class to examine

examination room, and the examiners came from outside

and walked in front But this problem, he,

he was handicapped. He had a difficulty walking.

So he said, I walk in front of

the examiner,

and as soon as I get close to

him, I fall down on my back.

So the examiner feels very sorry for me,

very sympathetic. He sympathetic. He would take my

hand and and relaxes me and said, masha'Allah,

I've said this, and I stopped crying. My

back hurts. My back hurts. So he would

say, no problem. Shama'a,

go home. Do you need money? Do you

need any help or anything? Because I break

his heart, basically.

So this last year,

he got into the room

and he he did the same thing, the

same trick again for the last time in

the 5th year in a row. So he

said, I filled out on my back in

front of the examiner.

It seemed he he didn't care about me

or something.

He told me to start, you know, recite

the Quran. I couldn't say anything. Of course,

he failed he failed the exam. So he

came out crying and he told me the

reason why he didn't sympathize with me because

the examiner was blind. I feel down in

front of him. I almost broke my neck,

but he didn't see me. He couldn't see.

He failed anyway.

So the question, last night was about Surat

Al Fatima. Why it doesn't have this Mila

at the beginning? Some of the scholars say

it's a continuation of Surat Al Fat, and

other scholars say because it starts about talking

about

fighting and war, so it is not suitable

to talk about peace and fighting. Alayna and

mercy of Abla in Bismal

and the fighting at the same time. The

winner is brother Laila Abulfef.

Brother Laila Abulfef. Where is he? Laila Abulfef.

Where does the Quran talk about the big

bang there? If you know the answer, email

me before tomorrow asa@[email protected].
