AI: Summary ©
The loss of a family member due to a stolen bike and the Qadr of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has caused a loss of trust in everything. The Prophet sallimm was the highest ranking person in Egypt after the king, and if he stays with his family, he may not be in the top. The Prophet sallimm proposed to people to say when something bad happens, and when a disaster strikes, to say Jesus is a better person than Probably somebody in the world. The story of a journalist who missed a flight to Europe and crashed in the Mediterranean caused a crash and death, and he had to stay in a hotel or a motel on the way, and he couldn't make it to his house in Alexandria, so he had to stay in a hotel or a motel on the way, and he was not happy.

Matan Larami.
There was a brother.
His name was Cassius Clay.
He was 12 years old.
So at the age of sorry. At the
age of 12,
his bike was stolen.
And because he came from a poor family
in Kentucky, in the US,
his
bike being stolen, this is the worst thing
that could happen to him.
So after his bike was stolen, he was
very angry, he went to the police station
and he reported it to an officer, and
the officer said Okay, so what if you
find the guy, the hearses, the chore, who
stole your bike? What will you do?
He said, I'm gonna beat him up.
So he said, do you know how to
fight? He said, no. So he said, you
gotta learn how to fight to defend your
bike and defend yourself.
This brother,
after 20, 25 years,
his fortune was $54,000,000
from boxing.
Do you know who this brother is? Mohammed
Ali. Mohammed Ali. MashaAllah.
Good job.
Good candy. Alright. So those who know me
well, they know that, they will get two
things from me, good stories and diabetes, because
I always give candy.
So,
back then when Muhammad Ali was 12 years
old,
when his bike was stolen, that was the
worst thing that happened to him. But maybe
if his bike was not stolen,
maybe he wouldn't have gotten into this boxing
business, and he wouldn't have been a millionaire
or a famous person because of it. Who
knew?
Who knew?
This will lead us to talk about this
ayah in Surah Baqarah, surah
2, ayah number 216.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, maybe you
will hate something, and it is the best
thing that has ever happened to you. And
maybe you will like something very much, and
it turns out to be the worst thing
that has ever happened to you, but Allah
knows you don't know anything.
So what happens when something happens,
we just look at a small bit of
the picture, but Allah
knows the whole picture. So He knows everything.
So we shouldn't complain
or cry to death when something bad happens,
and we shouldn't be
elevated and dancing in the streets when something
good happens, because you never know what things
will end up to. You never know the
end result of things.
I'm gonna give a few examples from the
life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and
the prophets and and even our whole lives
to show you that something will begin good
and it will end bad, something will begin
bad and it will end good. So you
have to trust it all in the hands
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So, for example, something bad that turned out
to be something good, the best example in
the Quran is in Surah Yusuf, Surah 12,
his brothers threw him in the well, they
tried to kill him, He was sold into
slavery. He was thrown into jail. You know,
the lady of Al Aziz was busting all
these moves. She she was trying to tempt
it and seduce him, and he he ended
up being thrown into jail. So what happened?
Because he was thrown in the well,
and because he was sold into slavery, and
because he was thrown in jail, he became,
Al Aziz, the most or the strongest person
in Egypt. He was the highest ranking person
in Egypt after the king.
So if he stayed with his family, maybe
he wouldn't have made it into the top.
So you have to keep in your mind
that you have to trust it in the
hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and trust
the Qadr of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
When her husband died,
she was devastated.
Umuhad, umu Musalaba, one of the greatest Sahaba
of the prophet sallahu alaihi wa sallam. And
the prophet sallahu alaihi wa sallam taught them
in Sayyid Muslim to say when something bad
happened, when a disaster strikes, to say Allahum
Majjoonifu Musi Bati waqlufniqayramina.
Oh Allah, give me the reward for my
patience in this difficult time, and give me
something better than what you have taken from
me. So, Ummus Salam alayhi lawala used to
make this Dua, and she used to laugh,
and and she would say who is better
than Abu Salam?
So after her Idda, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa'alaam proposed, and the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa'alaam
married her. So after she got married to
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa'alaam, she used to
say Wallahi, the Prophet SAWHANNAH is a 1000000
times better than Abu Salaam.
So her husband died, that was a devastating
experience, but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave her
something better.
So something happened, something bad happens, so Allah
could give you something good, or something bad
could happen, so Allah
would prevent something worse
from happening.
I heard the story of a journalist
who missed a flight
to Europe many years back,
and he went back home, he was crying,
oh, I missed the flight. He was crying,
right, every step of the way. First thing
in the morning, he read in the paper
that the plane he was about to take
crashed in the Mediterranean,
and all the people were dead.
You never know. So he missed the flight,
so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will save him
from something worse. There was a brother from
Egypt who was traveling from Cairo Cairo to
Alexandria. It's a 3, 4 hour drive.
His car broke down on the way, so
he couldn't he couldn't make it to, to
his house in Alexandria,
so he had to stay in a hotel
or a motel on the way, and he
was not happy. You know?
Why? Why did that happen?
Turned out,
next day when he went to his house
in Alexandria, the roof fell on his bed.
It's a true story. So he he made
salida and he said Alhamdulillah, if I made
it on time, if my car didn't break
down, then I would have been on that
bed, I don't I would have been crushed
to to pieces. Right? So you never know.
So if something bad happens, you say Alhamdulillah.
If something good happens, say Alhamdulillah.
Something good that happens, and it turns out
to be a disaster
I know a brother from Vancouver. I visited
Vancouver. I stayed there for a while a
few years back. He told me his life
story. He said, about 30, 35 years ago,
he got married to a Canadian lady,
and he was desperate. He said, I wanted
a son. I was praying day and night,
You Allah, give me a son. Because they
were mad for a year or 2, they
didn't have a son, and he was crying.
He went to all the doctors in the
British Columbia. He wanted a son this prickly.
So Allah
gave him a son.
A year or 2 years later, they had
a pool in the backyard.
His son filled in that pool, and no
one was watching.
His son was on life support
for many, many years.
Of course,
his marriage life,
fell apart. He divorced his wife. His life
was devastated. He lost a lot of money.
And when he told me the story a
few years ago, he said, wallahi,
now I wish that Allah never gave me
that baby. You never know. Some of you
are desperate.
You see a sister. You study with her.
You go to school with her. You know,
you work with her. You're you want to
marry her desperately.
And you tell your dad, if I don't
marry this girl, I'm gonna kill myself.
So finally, everyone approves, you get married, it
turns out that the sister is crazy. Majnoon.
It turns your life into a living now.
Some of the sisters are desperate to marry
a brother.
Right? I want to marry this guy. They
make istikhar. No. I want to marry this
guy. I love him so much. So they
marry the guy, turns out the guy bites.
Majnoon. Crazy. Right? So you never know.
So put your trust in Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives you
something, accept it and say, Alhamdulillah.
Why? Because Allah sees the whole picture, we
always see a small part of it. So
put your trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
If something bad happens, don't cry to death.
If something good happens, don't be dancing in
the street because you never know how the
end will be. So this is a lesson
for today, inshaAllah. So,
the question for last night, we know that
the Ayat of the Quran were either revealed
in Mecca or in Medina.
Only 2 ayats were revealed in the heavens
when the prophet
took that journey, the night journey, and these
2 ayats are the last 2 ayats of
Surah Baqarah, Ahamanal Rasool bi maroonzil ilahi all
the way to the end of Surah Baqarah,
and the winner is brother Saad Ziyya.
MashaAllah.
Takbir?
Assal, good job, MashaAllah. So,
people were saying
make
the questions
easy, because they go to Google, and Google
gives them the wrong answers, and it's a
disaster. Right? So tonight's question is super easy,
inshaAllah, so everyone can try.
The question for tonight, there is a baby
in the Quran who spoke when he was
only a few days old. A baby in
the Quran when when he spoke when he
was only a few days old. So if
you know the answer, it may be before
tomorrow's at Ibaan Mustafa at anatoriacenter.c.
Jazakkullahu alaihi.
