Discussion about Adar al Adar al Afar InshaAllah.

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

Yeah. I got some candy here with me.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

If you want candy, let me know. Barat

00:00:06 --> 00:00:06

lobby.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:08

What candy?

00:00:10 --> 00:00:10

Shit.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11

Barat lucky.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:12

So,

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

tonight inshallah,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

we'll talk about Husnu Vani Billah, thinking well

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

of Allah Thinking

00:00:20 --> 00:00:20

well,

00:00:21 --> 00:00:21

entertaining

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

these good thoughts about Allah

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

And before we do this,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

someone has been requesting that we move the

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

halakat to 8 o'clock, so they have time

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

to come from work, and have dinner, and

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

chai, and biryani, and chicken sukha,

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

and then come. So what do you think?

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

Should we keep it at 6:30 or move

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

it to 8?

00:00:44 --> 00:00:44

8.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

I prefer to keep it. Prefer at 6:30?

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

After I shall. Okay. So we can take

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

votes. You know?

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

Whoever likes 6:30, raise your hand.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

Everyone, 6:30.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

Halas will do that 8 Insha Allah. Our

00:01:01 --> 00:01:01

democracy.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:04

Okay.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:07

Okay.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

So

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

thinking well of Allah

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

Sometimes we get to a point

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

in our lives where we hit a low

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

in terms of the difficulties, and the challenges,

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

and the trials in life,

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

or by just reading the news. You look

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

around, you read the news, you see what

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

what is happening in Halep in Syria, or

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

in Iraq, or in other places in Yemen,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

in Libya.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

It's very frustrating, it's very disappointing.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

And you feel powerless and helpless, there's nothing

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

you can do,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

or at least this is what we think.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

Or on a personal level, someone has a

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

divorce,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

their kids fail at school, they got laid

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

off, they lost their job, their car broke

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

down.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

Frustrations happen all the time. Or someone has

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

been married for so many years, no kids.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

I've seen so many cases.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

Some people have kids, and they lose a

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

child. And

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

I always mention the example of the Prophet

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

He had 7 kids, 6 of them died

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

in his lifetime.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

So all these difficulties

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

and challenges in life

00:02:14 --> 00:02:14

So,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

people come to a point where they feel

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

like they are helpless,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

and they think

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

it will it's a good idea that Allah

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

would take them and die in chalaz.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

They're hopeless, chalaz.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

If I die, I think this will be

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

like the other day there was a brother

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

who came to me, his daughter was like,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

I think she was 12 years old, she

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

had cancer or something and she died. And,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

she died like 2 years ago. And the

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

brother always comes to me and he has

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

tears in his eyes, and and he says,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

I'm thinking about my daughter all the time,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

and I feel like,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

you know, I I wish I can die.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

Right?

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

His life is very difficult.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

And I told him about what happened with

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and Allah

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

will give you the reward, and this is

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

shafa'ah for you in Akhira.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

And we're not staying in this dunya, we're

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

we're here for a short time,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

and as you guys say in Urdu, zindagi

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

bahut muqtasalay,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

life is very short. We're not here to

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

stay for,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

there was a Somali brother here.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

For 5 years or 10 years.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

Right? Life is very short.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

So eventually if we will leave, we're not

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

here to, to stay. If you think about

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam, when he lost

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

6 out of his 7 kids, can you

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

imagine?

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

If you have 7 kids,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

every few months or every 2 years you

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

take one to the graveyard,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

you lose Khadija,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

then you get married, Zaynah bintuquzaymah,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

after 6 months she dies, and

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

SubhanAllah. It's it must have been very difficult

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

for the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, very

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

difficult, like losing

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

the beloved ones, especially your kids, is probably

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

the most difficult thing that can happen to

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

you. I know some couples,

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

it happened to us,

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

me and my wife, we lost, we had

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

a couple of miscarriages, and that was a

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

very difficult time for us.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

And imagine if you have your baby, you

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

hug them, you carry them around,

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

and all of a sudden you lose them.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

It's very difficult.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

And this is why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

will give you the greatest honors on the

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

Day of Judgment if you are patient. There

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

are so many hadith.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

Jalal ad Din Suyuti,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

he's one of the the 2 who did

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

tafsiru Jalalayin.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

He wrote a whole book, he collected all

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

the hadith that talked about the reward

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

of those who lose a baby, and they

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

are patient. They always

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

revolve around

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

that your kids will wait for you by

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

the door of Jannah, they will take you

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

straight, no questions asked.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

Your life will be easy, they will make

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

Shafa'ah for

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

you. So, the sahaba

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

said that, yes, all these things happened to

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

the Prophet

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

the loss of family members,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:50

persecution,

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

denial from his people, they were abusing him,

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

the kids were throwing stuff, and someone would

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

come and step on his neck, and they

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

put garbage on his neck, and

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

They said we never saw anyone who smiled

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

more than the prophet

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

Why? Because he saw the the whole picture.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

He knew that we are not here to

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

stay, this life is a test, and he

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

was keeping his eye on the reward, so

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

this is why he was positive and and

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

and he was happy in his life. If

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

you look at someone like Yusuf alaihis salam,

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

I understand if your enemies or the people

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

who don't know you, abuse you or give

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

you a hard time, okay, they are your

00:05:37 --> 00:05:37

enemies.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

But your brothers,

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

your flesh and blood, they stab you in

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

the back, they try to kill you, they

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

throw you in the well, and in the

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

story, they say that the ones who sold

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

him into slavery, and they sent him to

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

Egypt, were actually his brothers.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

When the people got him out of the

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

will, his brothers came okay, and and they

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

said you guys are taking him, he is

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

ours, you have to pay.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

So they actually sold him. 1st they tried

00:06:01 --> 00:06:04

to kill him, and eventually they tried to

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

they sold him.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:06

Very cheap,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

very cheap. Right?

00:06:09 --> 00:06:09

Eventually,

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

the lady of Al Aziz in Egypt, they

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

tried to seduce him, they She was busting

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

all the moves, and he ended up in

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

jail, and all these things. Right? Very difficult

00:06:20 --> 00:06:20

life.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

And it never occurred in the Surah, Surah

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

Yusuf, surah 12 that he tried to kill

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

himself,

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

or he was asking for death. Never.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

And eventually he became the Aziz of Egypt,

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

because he knew that all these bad things

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

that happened to him for a reason,

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

so only for him to become an Aziz

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

of Egypt. If he stayed with his father,

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

or if they didn't throw him in the

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

wheel, or try to kill him, he couldn't

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

have become the Aziz of Egypt. But Allah

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

subhanahu wa ta'ala was doing all of this

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

for a good reason.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

If you think of someone like

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

Musa alaihis salam. If you read in the

00:06:55 --> 00:06:55

Quran,

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

anyone of us in his place, you would

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

have had a heart attack and died.

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

These people made his life very difficult, and

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

it is in the Quran.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

You see they leave Egypt, Allah saved them,

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

and they say, ijaalana ilahaan kaballumalu.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

Can you give us a God like this,

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

idol here so we can worship?

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

You guys, your your feet are still wet.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

I parted the sea for you, you saw

00:07:19 --> 00:07:19

Jamarajiza,

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

The sea is parting, and you see the

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

whales and the sharks and the stuff, and

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

and you can walk, and Allah gave you

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

a dry passage, and now you're asking for

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

a God? What is this?

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

Then they go, and Allah gave them and

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

quails. Quails are like birds, like smaller than

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

chicken.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

And manna is basically flour

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

that tasted like honey. So that was their

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

food. Bread with honey and meat.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

They said, we want onions, we don't like

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

this anymore. We want onions and garlic and

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

He said, What's wrong with you? Right? He

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

said, Okay, let's go and ask Allah for

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

mafira, for forgiveness. They go, and they say,

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

can we see Allah? Because if we didn't

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

see Allah, you're actually faking this is just

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

like a joke and,

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

what? They gave him an artha.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

Kill a cow, eat a cow. Oh, what

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

kind of cow? Yellow, what?

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

Very difficult,

00:08:16 --> 00:08:16

you know.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

He never prayed for Actually close to the

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

end of his life

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

in Surah Hazab, Surah 33, Allah

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

says, You are you are laveena habenu,

00:08:26 --> 00:08:26

lataqunu

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

kalaveena azza o Musa.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

Don't be like those who harmed Musa alaihi

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

sallam. Think one of the greatest people to

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

walk the face of this earth, you know

00:08:36 --> 00:08:37

he was accused

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

of killing his brother Harun, his biggest supporter.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

Salatakunu

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

kaladin ala Musa in one of the tafasir,

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

he's he was traveling with his brother Harun,

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

and he said, You killed him.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

You were jealous of of him.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

They accused him of killing his own brother

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

who died of a natural death.

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

In some narration,

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

Harun alayhi wasalam spoke after his death and

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

he said: No, I died a natural death.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

And this isn't tafsir, allahu 'am. You see,

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

they gave him a hard time. You see,

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

someone like Ayyub he

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

was rich, he was healthy, he was handsome,

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

he lost everything.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

He He lost his money, he lost his

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

kids, he lost his health, everything!

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

Alarq al Khaliq al He lost everything.

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

And he was sick for so many years,

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

some of the haramasts said he was sick

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

for 40 years. People abandoned him, the only

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

one who was there to serve him was

00:09:34 --> 00:09:34

his wife.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

And eventually Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave him

00:09:38 --> 00:09:38

back

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

his family twice over, and He gave him

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

his wealth and health and everything. But it

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

never occurred

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

in the, in the surah and surasad and

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

other places in the Quran that he prayed

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

for death.

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

When his wife came to him and she

00:09:53 --> 00:09:55

said, Okay. Ask Allah to give you shifa.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

He said, You an inni astaghimill Allah. I'm

00:09:58 --> 00:09:58

ashamed

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

because Allah gave me health

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

for 40 years or 80 years in another

00:10:04 --> 00:10:04

narration.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

I have to stay in this condition for

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

another 40 or 80 years before I can

00:10:09 --> 00:10:10

ask Him.

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

So if I say 40 years with a

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

good health, and Allah took my health for

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

10 years or 20 years, I'll be ashamed

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

to ask him to remove this hardship, I

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

have to wait for another 40.

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

So it will be balanced, now I can

00:10:22 --> 00:10:22

ask.

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

And so on and so forth. Ibrahim alaihis

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

salaam being abused by his friends and his

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

father was against him, they threw him in

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

the fire, he never prayed for death. And

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

so on and so forth, the stories

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

are so many.

00:10:37 --> 00:10:37

For Ta'ban,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

The Prophet

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

is telling us in the hadith, and Bukhari,

00:10:42 --> 00:10:42

and Muslim,

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

So

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

the Prophet says that Allah says,

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

whatever you think of me, I'm better than

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

that. If you think Allah would be generous

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

to you, Allah would take care of you,

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

your He will take good care of you,

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

Allah will do that to you. But if

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

you think that Allah is not able to

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

forgive you or take care of you,

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

why would you do it?

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

Like say for example you go to a

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

king or a rais,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

and He can do anything to you. So

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

you're talking to him because you want money

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

or you want something, and you tell, You

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

know what, rais or king? I I don't

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

think you can help me.

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

You're not good enough to help me. You

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

can't take good care of me. So what

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

do you think they will do? They'll say,

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

out.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

Bye bye. If you think I can help

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

you or take care of why are you

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

here in the 1st place? Alright? So you

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

shouldn't do this to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

In Hatan Noah,

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

in Egypt in 19,

00:11:47 --> 00:11:47

1978,

00:11:48 --> 00:11:49

Mostafa Ismail, one of

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

the greatest disciters of all time. He was

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

a contemporary of Abbasid, and bin Shawi, and

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

Khosrae, some of the great Quran.

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

So Mostafa Ismail, mashAllah, his recitation was very

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

fantastic. I love him so much. So what

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

happened when he died? The

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

the law in Egypt said, when you die

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

you go to the graveyard. You don't have

00:12:09 --> 00:12:10

a private,

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

graveyard in your house or in your backyard.

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

This is against the law.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

But his family wanted to make an exception

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

for him. He has this, villa, and he

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

has a backyard with, mashallah, very nice.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

So they sent his brother,

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

that was in 1978,

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

I was 20 year old.

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

I'm old. So what happened, his brother went

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

to the prison of Egypt, he went to

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

Sadat, the prison of Egypt.

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

And he said my brother passed away, and

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

Sadat loved him so much. He used to

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42

like copy his example, used to recite for

00:12:42 --> 00:12:42

Allah like him.

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

So he said, I want to make an

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

exception for my brother, so we can bury

00:12:47 --> 00:12:48

him in my backyard.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

So the sadaq says okay, the president said

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

okay, you can bury him in the backyard.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

So, Mustafa Ali Ismail's province said, Okay, actually

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

we can't do it because in Mu Hafiz,

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

the mayor,

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

would not allow us to do it, so

00:13:05 --> 00:13:05

we can't.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

So Sadas, you lost your mind,

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11

I'm the highest authority in the land, I'm

00:13:11 --> 00:13:13

telling you can do it, and you're telling

00:13:13 --> 00:13:14

me that the mayor will not allow you

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

to do it? Khalas, you got it, you

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

will do it. Right? Husnil van, you think

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

well of people. So if you think well

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

of people,

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

what about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? He is

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

better than all of your thoughts.

00:13:26 --> 00:13:27

So we have to have And

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

the Prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam said,

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

The Prophet said,

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

don't ever pray for death, don't ask Allah

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

to take your life, don't make that dua.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

He said: If you are a good person,

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

and Allah gives you more life, you will

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

do more hasanat, you will take more rewards,

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

it's better for you.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

And if you are an evil person,

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

and Allah gives you more life, it's a

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

second chance so you can make tawbah, and

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

it's a good thing for you. Either way

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

it's a good thing, don't ask for death.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23

The Prophet says,

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

let let not anyone of you,

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

die except when they have You

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

have this good thinking

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

of Allah Subhanahu wa'ala and the Prophet

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

said that 3 days before he died.

00:14:37 --> 00:14:39

So this is one of the last hadith,

00:14:40 --> 00:14:43

that the Prophet said before he passed away.

00:14:43 --> 00:14:46

And also in another hadith in Bukhary, the

00:14:46 --> 00:14:46

prophet

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

So the Prophet said, let not any one

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

of you pray for death or wish for

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

death.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

If you if your life is so difficult

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

and you have to say something, say, you

00:15:12 --> 00:15:12

Allah,

00:15:13 --> 00:15:15

give me a longer life if life is

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

good for me. And You Allah, if you

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

think life is bad for me, just take

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

my life. Okay, I want to go. This

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

is that dua you can say.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

When Allah Subhanahu

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

Wa

00:15:44 --> 00:15:44

Ta'ala

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

So

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

when

00:15:48 --> 00:15:48

you

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

have

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

personal

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

one, you think that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

is better than your expectations.

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

He will take good care of you, He

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

will make things easier for you, He will

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

give you the foreword despite of all the

00:16:03 --> 00:16:03

shortcomings,

00:16:04 --> 00:16:04

and Allah

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

will give you jannah out of His grace,

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

not by His Justice. Because if it is

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

by His Justice, no one will go to

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

Jannah. If it is by His Grace, all

00:16:13 --> 00:16:16

of us inshaAllah are going to Jannah.

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

So he's making a distinction between

00:16:27 --> 00:16:28

thinking well of Allah

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

and delusion.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

He said,

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

He said, It is very easy to make

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

a distinction between thinking well of Allah and

00:16:56 --> 00:16:56

delusion.

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

Having delusional thoughts of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

It's a hussnulfan,

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

if this concept motivates you to be a

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

better person, to to always try to get

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

closer to Allah, to do good deeds, this

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

is hasnul done, thinking will of Allah. But

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

if it motivates you to be lazy,

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

to not to do your part, not to

00:17:16 --> 00:17:17

take care of the things that you're supposed

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

to take care of, you do sayyaat

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

thinking

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

that no matter what you do Allah will

00:17:23 --> 00:17:23

forgive you.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:27

So this would make you lazy, do bad

00:17:27 --> 00:17:28

things, never try to be close to Allah

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

subhanahu wa ta'ala. This is delusion.

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

This is delusional thoughts. We'll continue in the

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

future inshallah my assistant is giving me a

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

hard time. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

to give us the best in this life,

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

and the best in the life to come.
