Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 7 Submission Ramadan 2012

If you submit yourself to Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala and you accept the Qadr of Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, this doesn't necessarily mean that

you accept injustice.

If someone did you something wrong, you have

to protect yourself and you have to do

something to take this injustice away from you.

In

Salatul

If you look at the story of Ibrahim

alayhi salam, when they tried to throw him

in the fire,

he submitted himself to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

When he was on the air,

being thrown in the fire, he said, Hazbullullah

ibn Abi Waqil. Allah is the only protector.

He takes care of me.

So what happens in the story? The fire

became very safe and very nice and gentle

for him.

Also, his wife submitted herself completely to Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. When he took Ismail,

alaihis salaam, and his wife, Khalil, and he

left them in the place where the Kaaba

is now, she told him,

where are you leaving us? There's no one

here. No food, no water, nothing. He didn't

answer back.

Then she said, did Allah

order you to leave us in this desert,

in this place, in the middle of nowhere?

He said, yes. She said, I know that

Allah will never let me down.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will never let us

down.

And now when you go to Mecca, those

who made it to Mecca

in the Hajj or Ir Ramadan,

sometimes you have to pray Jummah like a

mile away because you can't you can't make

your way to the Haram.

There are millions and millions of people,

and remember how it all started at the

time of Ra'iv and his wife and his

family.

Also, in the story of Ismail alaihi sallam,

when his father had that vision that he

will sacrifice his son based on the vision

that he saw,

His son is Maida Allahu who said, oh,

father, do whatever you want if it is

for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Do whatever Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala commands, and you know the

rest of the story. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

gave Ibrahim, alayhis salaam, to the lamb to

sacrifice, and this is why we celebrate

Eid al Adha.

So this is something we have in our

side gate. This is something that we do

daily. We don't usually accept kadarullah. We don't

submit ourselves to Allah. No one is happy

with his situation and his condition. If you

ask a little kid, what do you want?

He says, I want to be a grown

up. I want to be an old man,

so I can do whatever I want. If

you ask an old man, what do you

want? They will tell you, you want to

go back to young age, to childhood.

Those who are not married,

they are not

happy. Those who are married, they want to

shoot themselves in the head.

Those who don't have kids, they live with

a broken heart. And those who have kids,

they want to throw themselves in the ocean.

Don't do like Juhar, he had a donkey

and that was his only source of income,

he used to carry stuff and take money

for this, make a living. So his donkey

fell sick,

so he made a vow and promised to

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, if my donkey recovers

I'm gonna fast for the whole week.

Sure enough, he fasted the whole week, and

on the 7th day at the Maghrib time,

his donkey died.

So I said, what is this, man? What

is this? You know what? Ramadan this year

is 3 weeks only. This week I fasted,

it's taken from

Ramadan. So the word kaswara in Surah Al

Mudassir,

verse 5051

means

lying. Anyone here to take the prize on

our behalf?

Uftrua Mahfou?

Anyone?

K.

I'm gonna take it.

It.

At the beginning of Surah Al An'a, Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, oh, praise be to

Allah who created the heavens and earth. He

created the darknesses

and light. Why does Allah use the word

darkness in the plural and the word light

in the singular? If you know the answer,

imayam, you'll see imam,
