Protest,
you protest Abad of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will be displeased
with you. At the end of the day,
if something happens to you, good or bad,
and you protest and you question the Muslim
how bad, why? Why did you do this
to me? This will never change anything. Okay?
So if you lost a beloved one, your
your dad died, or something happened, you got
fired, and you profess. You asked them how
bad why why did you do this to
me?
This will not change anything.
The fact that it happened it happened for
us. What you can do is make Rahab
al Muslim how bad it can change it.
Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will be displeased
with you.
Why you should be happy with the Adar
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? Number 1, because
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows and you will
know.
But you tell him, you know what? If
you don't marry me, this guy's gonna jump
off, you know, what?
Then you are desperate.
You end up marrying the guy, and he
gets he's crazy. The guy is crazy. Because
we know, all of us, we we all
know, before marriage, the brothers and the sisters,
they give the Oscars. Masha'Allah, they're acting. You
know, sister, you know Ali? When he's married,
I'm gonna take you to Mecca. We'll do
our Hajj together
in, in Raja, all that stuff. There's no
Hajj in Raja, but the sister, you know,
she
And after they get married, he never thinks
that I'm going for the Hajj and she
never wakes up even for pleasure. But high
expectations
so, Allah
knows that you don't know. So this is
the first reason. So you have always to
accept.
Also, the second reason, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
this something's happening to you to test your
iman.
Because sometimes,
you know, if someone's not practicing Islam or
someone,
just accepted Islam, you know, and they start
to be to try to be a Muslim,
then all of a sudden bad things happen
to them. And they keep asking why do
bad things happen to good people? Before Islam,
I was living a happy life, you know,
I was living like a king. Now after
I accepted Islam, I just got fired.
Things are difficult for me. What is going
on? So we have to realize that Allah
has asked us for a reason because a
lot of people fake iman.
Once they are put in the test, now
the true color shows. And Allah says it
in the Qur'an Surat Al An Kabud,
Do people think
when they say we are true believers that
they will be left without being tested?
Those before them were tested, so Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala will show you who is telling
the truth and who is hating. This is
the beginning of the night.
Also, sometimes,
and this happens all the time, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala will take something from you. You
do something bad. It happens all the time.
If they fire you, then Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, maybe he keeps in store a good
job for you. It happens all the time.
Maybe your husband is giving you a hard
time and after you get a divorce Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala will give you a better
husband. It happens all the time.
Sometimes
you give this story, I like this story.
Sometimes
you go to the airport to catch a
flight and go somewhere, you miss the flight
or something happened. You go, you come back,
crying every sip of the way. First thing
in the morning you get the paper it
says, oh, a plane crashed last night and
everybody died.
They fell in the ocean and they were
eaten by by crocodiles.
No crocodiles in the ocean. But anyway,
something
terrible
happens. But
now when you notice,
you are dancing in the street because now
you know the hikma of Allah ala why
it happened.
We're gonna conclude with the story of Musa
Allah Subhanahu wa'ala and since I am Muslim.
When her husband Abu Salma died
and he taught her alif to Masul Asa
Sadat,
hat. Ta is the shortest Ayin of God.
I know Amim is 2 letters, but if
you transcribe it, it's 5 letters.
But Ta hat is only 4. Ta alif
So Ta is the shortest Ayin of God,
and the winner
is
