along with our families in Jeddah for those who are Allah in the companionship or was was Allah while he was salam, Mobileye Lamine
brothers, sisters, all of us, there is no exception. Even the prophets were not exceptions. There is no one who was an exception to this and the fact that we all have to go through challenges in our life.
Allah subhanho wa Taala has never made this dunya a place where we will find complete comfort. There is only one place that does exist. Where there is no difficulties. There is no hardship. There is no anxiety. There is no depression. There is no fear for the future, and there's no sorrow over the past. And that peace is called Jana. This dunya has now been called Jana for a reason. Because this dunya has been created by Allah subhanho wa Taala as a testing ground, a place where Allah subhanho wa Taala will see and he will test us the which of his slaves are loyal to Allah subhanho wa Taala and which of his slaves are not loyal to Allah subhanho wa Taala and hence Allah subhanho wa Taala
in order to test our loyalty, to test our commitment, Allah subhanho wa Taala sends our way different challenges. But often what has happened in a world that we live in today is that whether you are religious or non religious, whether you come to measure or you don't come to imagine, whether you're young, you're middle aged, or you're old, there is one serious problem that many people have. And that is the sickness and the disease of hopelessness. There are so many people I talk to, and they say the same thing, that you Ma'am, please make dua for me. I'm going through one challenge. I overcome that one challenge and another challenge presents itself is as if my entire
life is filled with challenges. They tell me that I feel like that there is no escape from any challenge in life. Why does Allah Subhana Allah do this to me? I make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala I come to the masjid I know people who don't come to the masjid I am a person who lives my life according to what Allah wants me to do. And there are people I know who commit haram but why is ALLAH SubhanA wa Tala doing this to me and Brothers Sisters once again I have to remind that person that do you ever understand that this place this dunya was never a place where we will have a very smooth journey. This is a very bumpy journey. And through through you go through this inshallah and
at the end you will face and you will face Allah subhanho wa Taala and because of this, Allah subhana wa Tada will give you, Jana, many people because of their hopelessness, they have disconnected from Allah subhanho wa Taala because it is the logic die presents that is presented by Shavon Shavon puts his logic in the minds of people that Allah subhanho wa Taala he wants you to make dua to him. And hence when you make dua to Allah subhana wa to Allah, Allah is not giving you exactly what you want. So why make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala Why don't you give ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala the silent treatment, stop praying to Allah subhanho wa taala. So making dua to Allah
subhanho wa Taala and Perhaps Allah will give you exactly what you want. And what we have to realize is that when we are dealing with Allah subhanho wa Taala and when we deal with human beings, they are they are very, very different. Yes At times you can give another human being the silent treatment, and they will give you what you want. But that is a system that does not apply to Allah subhanho wa Taala when a person goes far from Allah subhanho wa Taala and they disconnect themselves from Allah subhanho wa Taala because of hopelessness, because Perhaps Allah will give me what I want, that will not happen. In fact, if there's any harm that's being done here, the harm is being
done upon ourselves. If there's any room that is taking place, the boom is taking place against ourselves. Now the question is, that why does hopelessness occur in with within us, and this is where we have to understand the shape on is very, very intelligent shape, one knows each of our weaknesses. That's why even with Elijah Ali, he has written a book known as Toby's a bliss, that shaytaan and in this book, he documents that how the shape on deceive mankind shape point and knows our weaknesses. So there are three things that shaytaan does to create that hopelessness within us. The very first thing is that there are struggles and challenges that we're going through in our
life, as I said earlier, that people feel that I'm going through challenge after challenge and there's no escape from this challenge, and they make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala and they're very religious in their life. But because the help of ALLAH does not come immediately, they lose hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala and they turn away from Allah
subhanho wa Taala The second reason why people do become hopeless is due to fitness and trials. You know how many people I've seen? Who began to question Allah subhanho wa Taala they began to doubt Allah subhanho wa taala. Why? Because why is our brothers and sisters and Philistine going through their challenges for so many decades? Why is it what is happening to the Muslims in in Syria? Why is it happening? Why is it happening in Burma? Why are the massages and the Muslims being oppressed in France, why they're being oppressed in India, and everywhere you see across the world, across the globe, Muslims are oppressed in majority of the places. We know what's happening in China, and the
concentration camps are taking place over there. They in these different camps, where children are being snatched away from their parents and so forth. And subhanAllah if you see what they're going through, with Allah, he brings tears to your eyes. But at the same time, there are people who say that you know what, this is from Allah subhanho wa taala. And I cannot lose hope and Allah and only Allah within his own infinite wisdom, he knows the way he's making this happen. But I put my trust in Allah and I don't lose hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala that is one group of people. But then there are many others within our community who come from very religious families, very religious
families, there will always giving them proper therapy, but they come to a point in their life that they began to question Allah subhanho wa taala. Why because when you sit with them, they say that is as if this entire life has become hopeless. What's the need to do any good work if I don't see the results from Allah subhanho wa taala. So number two is fifth dozen trials. Number three as to why there is hopelessness within many of us, and that is the reason is excessive sinning. There are many of us who feel that I sin, and I make Toba, I said and I make Toba. What's the point of making Toba if I keep on sinning? So hence, let me leave Toba. I'm no longer going to repent to Allah subhanho
wa taala. And I put my trust that Allah is a full Rahim and does not matter how many sins I come in, and Allah subhanho wa taala, he will forgive me and so forth. But then they realize that if you sit down with those kinds of people, and you ask them that, why do you not turn to Allah? They will say that because I'm such a sinner, that how can I go back to Allah Subhana? What to Ana? So these are three reasons why most people become hopeless. And once again, it could be with each one of us equally number one, it could be two, or it could be three. What shaytaan does is shaytaan knows us, He knows our nature, he knows our weaknesses, and he will bring that in front of us. And He will
make us completely hopeless in the Russia and the mercy of Allah subhanho wa taala. And as a result, when a person does become hopeless, they plunge into darkness and darkness of sight, a type of darkness, that then you don't understand anything in life. When someone asks you, where are you in your life, you have no idea where you are in your life. When someone asks you, where is your spirituality? In what state is your spirituality? They don't know how to answer that. What is your connection with Allah? I don't know what is my connection with Allah? There are people who have given this kind of answer.
And then number two is people begin to doubt Allah subhanho wa Taala and number three, eventually, this doubt puts them in utter confusion, and they don't know exactly where they're going in life. Now, while we know that these are the key reasons, that why people lose hope in Allah subhanho wa taala. The question is, does the Quran and the Sunnah of Rasulullah salaam highlight this hopelessness? Is there any stories in the Quran that we can find to or we can refer to that where hopelessness could have been applicable and hopelessness could have been applied? But Allah subhanho wa Taala he told the Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu to have hope in Allah subhanho wa taala. And the
answer is yes. First of all is I want to remind you of an ayah from Surah hedger. Remember the sutra hija was revealed in Makkah. Maga is a situation where the prophets of Allah why do you assume he has already sent many of his followers to Abyssinia he himself only with a handful of people that are there in Makkah, trying to spread Deen. Now while the person was going through that, of course, there was the opposition and they attacked and they attacked Rasulullah sallallahu it was send them they verbally attacked us wa salam, they spread propagandas and news and misinformation about Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they created a very hostile environment.
And for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and where is the prophesy? Son going to go? honestly think about it. Where else can he go? He sent his group of men to Abbey singer, he sent his followers to Abu singer, and he stayed in Makkah. Allah subhanho wa Taala knows that if any situ, if there was any other person who was in the position of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they would have lost hoping Allah subhanho wa taala. Because think about it. Imagine living in a society where everyone hates you imagine living in a society where people are spreading news and misinformation about you how many times you have gone to some house or some invitation, and then
someone says that Oh, I heard something about you. And it was completely false. And you get angry about it. You get frustrated about it. The how are people spreading misinformation about me? Why are they spreading rumors about me and my family and my kids and so forth? You take it very personally. Here it was not only this was a solemn that has been true this way. His family is the hub of the Allah who I know it became a very hostile environment for everyone. And in that situation, you made dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala and that help does not come right away. And what do you do that kind of situation, you can lose hope in Allah subhanho wa Taala that is why Allah says will occur. The NA
alum, we know very well. The word other means indeed, without without any doubt with certainty, we know for a fact, O rasool Allah, Allahu Allah, he was sending them what you are going through because of what they're saying about you, because of the rumors, they are spreading around about you. We know what's going on in your heart. We know that your heart is being tight. Is getting difficult to survive in this society. We know what's going on. What are the narla Mu Anika reposado Ruka Bhima yaku loon for Saab back behind the Rebecca welcome Mina, Sergey, then your job is to glorify Allah subhanho wa taala. spread the message of Islam. Don't worry about what they're saying.
But keep the cause and the mission in front of you. Why Buddha Rob Bucca, hatha yoga and continue to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala till your last day.
Another incident and I want you to think about this for a moment, once again, put yourself in that position. It is the battle of heart.
The Muslims are already out numbered. The mountain is behind them, so that they don't have to worry about an attack from behind the mound or what is behind them in front of them. They are they have the courage to move Shikun the Prophet SAW Selim has posted 50 people to guard entire entrance an entire area, those 50 Sahaba majority of them they left their position and they went after Dhonielle as a result, Holloman what at that time who was a Muslim, he capitalized on this weakness and this hafla of the Muslims that time and he launched a serious attack against the Muslims. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam became so hurt and he was in he got hurt to the point that he was wearing a
helmet. He was wearing a helmet and the and there are pieces of that helmet that had become lodged in the cheeks of Rasulullah sallallahu ala USL, the person was bleeding profusely. And for a moment he retreated into Mount or hard to pull those out and to just to gain some moral support. He went back into Mount Hood. And during that time, imagine if you found out and there was a rumor that began to spread that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has died.
Put yourself in that position for a moment, your leader,
your boudoir, your role model, the one that you're willing to give your entire life for. Imagine if you're in a battlefield and you found out there was some loss or someone passed away, Wallah he your morale sinks. You feel like there is no more hope left for this battle. What did Allah subhanho wa Taala say at that moment? He said that though you may think that even if Russell Sam did pass away or some of course not pass away, but even had he passed away. Allah says later on. Well my Mohammed en en la suelen other Khaled communicably Rasul Muhammad wa Salam is a Rasul. He is like any other prophet that has come before him, and if he has passed away, he has moved on, but you stick to your
deen but what Allah subhanho wa Taala say before that, he says while he knew what are
two important concepts here, the word that he knew that he knew means that you know when a person works hard they will
Record and they work hard, and they don't see the results that kills them. It brings hopelessness within their life that I worked so hard and I still don't see the results. And when a person don't see them when they don't see the results, what's the next step? They give up? Lose hoping Allah subhanho wa taala. The word Taheebo means that you work so hard, and you don't see the results. And that has no means that you lose all hope in Allah subhanho wa Taala is called husband. This is why when it came to Yaqoob, it is Salam. Allah says we'll be about it now who mean Allah Pausini for who will convene, they are covering is some had become blind, his eyes became white, meaning he became
blind as a result of his present, because he actually thought that there might be a chance that he may not ever see use of Ali's son ever again. He has lost hope and the fact that you may see us value something again. So Allah Subhana Allah is telling the Muslims that do not even though you work so hard, and you don't see the results, Latta has no, you will never get to a point of hopelessness. And then he says, Well unto me, Will an owner in control mean you have the upper hand, though it may seem that also someone's gone, though it may seem that you're losing this battle, but if you don't lose hope in Allah subhanho wa taala. You have the upper hand over your enemy in
control, meaning, this is the key condition. Allah is saying that if you don't want to lose that hope, and you want to have the upper hand, you have to have faith in Allah subhanho wa Taala you cannot lose faith in Allah. I mean, when you even go and you look at sports, when when there's a cut, when there's a team who's making a push, they're making a comeback. What do the players sit on the sidelines? What do they tell each other, don't lose faith, don't lose faith. Likewise when the odds are against us, because I know for the fact that Allah is on my side, and Allah still does exist. Well and Tamil Ilona in contempt, meaning you have the upper hand if you believe, think about
Musala you sit down, think about Bonita saw it for a moment over here. Imagine you're with Musa alayhis salam, You're escaping the superpower of that time that I own and his army and you're heading with Musala your son Bonita saw it is heading with Musa alayhis salam, they come to the sea. And now they're like, where do we go now? Okay, let's retreat. As soon as they turn around. What do they see? They see they see fit our own and his army. Any person at that time, who had just become a Muslim? Perhaps one week ago, one day ago, one month ago, they would be like you know what, I give up I don't know why I follow this man. This man has brought us to a dead end. Right for them as a
seed now behind us his own fear our own wisdom due to me. They have lost so much hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala and I want you to think about this. Imagine you are in a dead end situation. There is no exit. There is no way out. That is the situation of bunnies saw in and who started Islam. And what did they say to Musa Musa in Allah mudra Khun Musa, we're done. No more hope left.
What Sally is saying, Kola
you think there is no hope? Through your eyes? You see, there is no hope. But there is hope. Why? In Rob be Marisa Yeah, Dean. My Rob is with me. And he will make a way for us. That is the hope that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is looking from you and I brothers and sisters. No matter how many challenges you're going through. How many young men have came to me? I'm looking for a wife. I've lost all hope. What do I do? What do I do? Have your hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala young women are looking for a good, good husband. They so many people have come to me what do we do? What do we do? Where are so where are all the good men and so forth? Have hoping ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala Yeah, Imam I
don't have a job for so many months. What am I going to do? Don't lose hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala Yeah, Imam my my daughter is sick, my son is sick people, my family are sick and is getting worse and worse is as if this is never going to end. Don't lose hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala because if you are a Muslim, and you believe in the Quran, and you are a Muslim and you believe in Allah, and you are a Muslim and you believe in us allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and you are a Muslim and you believe in the hereafter, then you are a Muslim and a Muslim believes that hopelessness does not exist within a life of a Muslim.
Don't ever lose hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala how many times you and I we think there is no more hope left why? Because we
You think that because of my sins because of my challenges, Allah will not be able to help me. But then sisters, you know how many times we are more tougher on us than Allah subhanho wa Taala is we make life more difficult for ourselves that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala makes, so that is why don't lose hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah wants us to remain with hope shaytaan wants us to lose hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala let us not make sure if I'm happy, that's make Allah happy. Ask Allah subhana wa jal give us the faith, may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us hope in every single occasion of life, and Mirabella Alameen Baraka Aloha welcome Fuqua and Alim when I find out well you gotta
come up with a good Hakeem and stuff Allah howdy, welcome What are you saying mister manifesto fellow in
the salon or him in London hamdulillah and I'm gonna start you know when I still feel when I always believe in God and fusina I'm gonna say yeah, Dr. Molina Mejia de la la medulla. Oh Manuel for La havila. When I say Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Wa la sharika. When I still don't know Muhammad, and I will do what I solo about one of the one of the DUA as many people asked, is there any kind of dua that I can do in my difficulties and so forth? And the answer is, yes, quickly, I want to share with you because we're running out of time. First of all, is I want to remind you of a dua that the Prophet SAW Allah who it was someone who taught the Sahaba love you Allah, I know. And Allah
subhanho wa Taala he mentioned this in the Quran, when Allah subhanho wa Taala says Alladhina either Paula homeowner so in the NASA Gemma Allah confess showhome, facade home Imana wa Callooh husband Allah who went out Manoukian This is a very powerful too I cannot get into the exponential this dua period of time. But if you're in difficulty, readers do abundantly, husband Allah, who wouldn't mind working? Number two is there's a dua that is also mentioned the Quran, or do the according that the Prophet salallahu it was something he mentioned about this dua, that this is the best, these are the best dua in the state of distress. And what is that? La ilaha? illa Anta Subhana Allah in the Quran,
terminal volley min. So whenever you're in this kind of situation, whenever you feel like that there is no more hope left. Always make these two R's hospital alone and we're located now EULA Subhanallah, in the economy of volume in and there are so many more. And finally, I will say that remember two more things. Number one is that go back to the stories of the past, not there was every single prophet every single Nabhi was loved by ALLAH SubhanA wa taala. But they went through challenges in their life, but they never lost hope in Allah subhanho wa Taala and finally, remember, when it comes to ease, ease will come through hardship never will ease be just been given to you,
there will be some difficulty and then there will be some ease. Why? Because Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, for in my last three use Ron Allah first mentioned the difficulty, then there is ease when we go through life, we go through life difficulties that in the hereafter there is jannah inshallah, first comes difficulty there then it comes ease. So always keep this in mind Inshallah, when we go through difficulties, perhaps ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala wants to give us something that is good, don't lose hope in Allah subhanho wa Taala because Allah treats us according to our expectations with him. So we ask Allah subhana wa Tala to grant us hope in every single aspect of
our life. And we ask Allah subhana wa Taala that anyone who has any amount of hopelessness in their heart, may Allah subhana wa Taala replace that with firm faith and firm firm Iman in Yoruba Alameen Allahumma Su is someone with Simeon Allahu Munster is someone I'm assuming if equally McCann Allahumma sunnah Allah Maha Levana Wofford beloved and I will ask her how LaDonna was female vana Why have you moved to La Nina?
