Nouman Ali Khan – Allah’s Plan For You
AI: Summary ©
The Bible discusses the importance of visual elements in the title of the book, including the sea and mountain, and how they are considered visual elements. The importance of crafting and passion for a project is emphasized, along with the importance of staying committed to one's mission and not letting anyone get attached to a situation or person. The importance of standing by the right thing, not letting anyone get attached to a situation or person, and being present for others is also emphasized.

Allah Allah azza wa jal if you get Abeking Karim by the end Akula bIllahi min ash shaytani R Rajim was bibley hooked me up because I in academia you Nina was at behind behind the Rebecca Hina taco Wamena lady Fussa beho worried about our newsroom, rubbish hourly salary uncle Emery will rock that Emily Sandy of Cabo poli Allahumma Tabitha ended multi Villa Ilaha illa Allah, Allah Masha Allah Mina Latina ermine and what I'm you know, Saudi hertz will also be happy, whatever. So this sort of I mean, you know, but I mean, it's an honor to be back here again, it's been a long time since I've had an opportunity to visit you I pray that this community remains healthy and safe. And that Allah
puts Baraka in all of your risk and protect you and your families in today's world, but what I want to connect are two things that seem at first not connected to each other. And instead of telling you what this whole debate is about in the beginning, I'll begin to unfold that for you as we continue and inshallah inshallah you will see the point that is that I'm attempting to make. So what I'm going to start with is something that Musa alayhis salam, and new and a Salam have in common, and the story of Musa alayhis salam and in the story of Noah today salaam, you see two visual elements, two things that seem to be in common with each other. One of them is the sea, and the other one is
the mountain. So in the story of Musa alayhis salaam we know that when Fidel was following him, Allah azza wa jal open the sea for academic Komaba he opened the sea for Musa alayhis salam and the Israelites and they went through and ferroan gets drowned inside of the sea. We also know that in the story of new Khalifa, salaam, it's the only other story with flood or drowning is the punishment given to the disbelieving nation. And so the people who disbelieved ignore her, they said, were drowned. In the beginning of the mission of Musa alayhis salam, Allah azza wa jal spoke to him on the mountain, the Arabic word for a mountain is either Jable or tool. Those are two words in the
Quran use for the mountain, but regardless, Musa alayhis salam Allah spoke to him on the mountain. And at the end of the journey of or the, you know, when Allah commanded new Hebei salaam to build his ship, to build the ark, after the flood was over was festival to allah God, the ship landed on top of the mountain. So the two visual elements that these two stories have in common are the sea and the mountain. Now one more thing as we get closer to the point, Allah has a very unique style of speaking in the Quran. So when he speaks about different stories of the prophets, he speaks in unique ways about each of them, but sometimes he uses very similar language in one story, and then
you find this
similar language again in a very different story, and something like that happens between new Hyundai Salam and Musa alayhis salam. So I want to start with Musa alayhis salam. When Musa alayhis salam went up to the mountain, Allah tells us in surah Taha that when he went up to the mountain, Allah told him, not only is he about to give him the revelation, well occurred My nana alayka Murata and okra we had already done favors to you many times before this, we Allah has been doing favors to Musa alayhis salam for a long time. And so he started reminding Musa alayhis salam, when your mother put you in the basket, when your sister was walking on the side of the river, when you were raised
in the house of around, when you when we reunited you with your mother data, Cara, I know how Allah doesn't, so her eyes could become cool. So she could find comfort again, I did you the fifth favor of reuniting you with your mother, then you killed someone, and you escaped. And we tried you in many ways. And so they all have these different trials that he went through, Allah makes a list of all of them. And then at the end of all of them, the part of the plan was he will get married in Medina and he will go in the desert and live there for a while. And then one time he will get lost in the desert and he will see a fire on top of a mountain. And he goes and tries to see what maybe
he can get some directions there. This is where Allah was having this conversation with him. And he says to him some interesting things he says one of the things he says is
that India Musa, you came here right on schedule, you came here exactly according to plan. So all the things you went through are part of my plan. So you could be here at this moment. But part of what Allah says to him also is, you know what, worked hard to get one after to clean up, see, I have chosen you for myself.
And another really beautiful thing, the thing I want you to focus on now is he says what he does not allow any, so you can be crafted. And I'll focus on the word toaster I in a second, you can be crafted under my watch, meaning crafting, you know, when somebody works with wood, and they make a table. And when somebody works with metal and they make a sword. And in different kinds of works, you have to do craftsmanship, you have to have art artistry, you know, to cut the angles properly and to mold it properly. People do a lot of sonar, when they are making a pot or when they're making utensils, right? So Allah is describing someone being crafted or designed. So Allah is telling Musa
alayhis salam, that all of those experiences you had, were part of you being designed. So you, you know how in engineering, there are stages of product development. And you have to go through one design phase, then the next design phase and the next design phase. It's like Musashi, salaam, his life was being engineered by Allah, and every part of the design, every one of those experiences was part of the design, so you could be ready for your real mission. And then this is a really beautiful lesson that the experiences that we go through, they are part of Allah's design, to help engineer us because we are like the human beings are like, like a baby's like raw materials. Right? It's like
raw materials. And as Allah puts us through these experiences, actually, each one of those experiences starts building our understanding builds our maturity builds our experience, sometimes you develop strength by going through pain, right? Like, for instance, just Allah has designed, you know, athletes, for example, if they want to improve themselves, they have to push harder than their previous stamina to improve. Right and that's how they're being engineered to perform even better and better and better. So Allah says to him, Well, he to * it so you can be crafted, engineered even under my watch, and I want you to remember this phrase crafted under my watch. Now, I told you
the connection, there's some sort of a connection between Musa alayhis salam and no honey Salaam and I told you about the mountain and the sea, and the story of Musa alayhis salam and the mountain and the sea, in the story of new Hyundai Sonata. Then I told you that Musa alayhis salam said Allah says to him, you will be craft you were you're so you can be crafted under my watch. And then you find a similar phrase in the story of new Halle Salaam. When you look at the story of Noah de salaam, and he Allah told him to build the ship, which was a strange instruction, because there was no water anywhere nearby. Why am I building a ship and nobody even knows how to build a ship? Nobody because
they don't they're not people that live next to the sea. So they have no reason to know how to build a ship. So Allah gives him what he and he says, what's natural full caviar, you Nina,
engineer the ship under our watch
Musa
Ali Salam was told, I engineered you under my watch. And you know how they said I was being told, engineer this ship under my watch. And so this phrase is similar between these two stories also. Now what let's focus on new Hyundai Salaam for a couple of moments when he was being told to engineer the ship than everyone around him who already they already called him crazy. They already insulted him for many generations. In fact, some of the things we learned in the Quran, the hints that we get is that people used to disbelieve and know how they Saddam and then they would get married young men disbelieved in him, young men and women, they got married, they have children, they bring their
children and say, don't listen to this crazy old man. And then those children get older, they get married, they have children, they bring their children and say, Man, my dad told me don't listen to this crazy old man. So generations and generations used to insult new highlight earlier he set up. But now after 950 years, Allah has telling him build a ship. And they're looking at him building a ship. And this is the we told you he's crazy. This is see, this is the craziest thing he's ever done. Right? So one of the big allegations against new hire, they said is that he is insane. By the way, that same accusation was made against Musa alayhis salam also he was called insane also. But
anyway, so he's building this, this this ark, the ship, under the watch of Allah. But while he is building it, the more he builds it, the more people make fun of him, the more everyday he's working on it, you cannot build the ship in one day, you cannot engineer it in one day. You're working on it, working on it, working on it, and Allah is it's almost as if you know, when you when you design something, when you especially construction project engineering project, and we know it's big enough that it's going to fit human beings, it's also going to fit animals. So it's a very large construction project, right? So you have to have blueprints, and you have to have a schematic. So
you can put the right pieces in the right place and you have to have structural engineering even all of this has to be taken care of. Allah says well harmala who Allah Dottie Allah Han Medusa in another place, he says, we made we boarded them boarded him onto something made up of boards of wood planks of wood, and nails. It's as if every board of wood and every nail was designed by Allah put this here, put this here, put this here. So everybody else is calling him crazy. But he's working according to the design Allah has revealed to him, you know, and he's designing this ship. Now why did I mention both of these things to you? Now I slowly work towards the point that I wanted to
share with you in this hotbar is a really beautiful surah in the Quran that I came here to, to not only study but share some lessons from with a group of our students suited to tour. So tourists are number 52 in the Quran, and I'd like you to go after the football this weekend. Just resuIt a tour on your own. In the beginning of Soto tour, Allah takes a number of oaths. He swears by a number of things. The first thing he swears by is the mountain.
And the last thing he swears by is the see. So what tool were Kitabi muster? Fear caveman Sure, well Baitul Marmore WELL, WELL batteries mature, actually was suck filmer forward, well, muster. So the first thing was the mountain and the last thing was the sea. And it's very subtle and delicate. That at the end of the surah Allah talk to his Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sunnah Allah talk to Muhammad Rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, and he said to him, was barely hook me Rebecca for in NACA, br you Nina
says keep moving forward with patience. Stay strong on your mission. Because you are commanded by the by your rub. Because of the HUKUM of your rub, stay, keep working forward, because you are definitely under our eyes. The same phrase that I told you was used in the story of Musa alayhis salam, the same phrase that was used in the story of new holiday Salaam is a similar phrase that Now Allah is using for Muhammad Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, and he's using it as sort of the tool in the beginning of which he made a hint towards the mountain and he made a hint towards the sea, though but what does it mean for our Prophet alayhi salatu salam, it actually it's kind of a
combination of both of those stories and then even more, in the sense that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam is going to go through many, many experiences while he is in Makkah. And every one of those experiences is part of what Allah wants him to go through, not just for him, but actually the the
Lessons for all of the online until Judgment Day are being designed by the experiences that our Prophet is going through Salallahu Alaihe Salam, if we contemplate that for a little bit, that's a very powerful lesson. What is that lesson every Surah of the Quran that we recite so beautifully, our Quran, memorize them, and we enjoy them, reciting them in the prayer. When those sutras were given to the Prophet salallahu, alayhi wasallam. When he would recite them, people would call him crazy. People would insult him. And he had to go through those experiences. So that 1000 and a half years later you and I can recite those same sutras, you understand? So He, Allah put him through
that, because actually, he had to go through that. So one day we can value what we're reciting. So one of the things that every Muslim myself and yourself should be aware of, is the words of Allah that we get to recite. They're not cheap. It was a big sacrifice that had to be made. And there was also a Salam was being crafted and his mission was being designed by Allah with a lot of pain. So that one day we can have the convenience of having access to the word of Allah, because it did not come to us in an easy way. It came through us to the soccer through the sacrifices of our messenger, sallallahu alayhi salam, and those that believed in him. The other thing is that in both of those
stories, and especially in the story of new Hyundai salaam, Allah azza wa jal told new Hyundai salaam to build this ship. But why was he telling him to build the ship because the other job of Allah is very close. The dub of Allah is very close. So two things are getting closer to things are increasing one, the time they have left, and the state of emergency is increasing to the way they make fun of him is also increasing. And as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was making his Dawa, and he was sharing the Quran with the people of Makkah, their aggressiveness towards him was also increasing. And the more their aggressiveness was increasing, the time for hijra, was also
coming closer and closer. The time to leave Macau was coming closer and closer, when he has to leave Bucha the moment he will leave Makkah, the new chapter will begin and a new chapter is not just the life in Medina, it's the chapter of adab punishment for the people of Makkah. And the first episode of that punishment was whether the second episode was or heard and so on and so forth. Right. The punishment was the face of Dawa is over now Allah's punishments will begin for them. No holiday Salam has to build the ark and soon after that the punishment of Allah will come. So the suicide Salam is being told you stay on your mission. We're watching. We're watching for a Nikka br You
Nina. But there's a subtle difference. There is a really interesting small difference. And there's a beautiful connection also between the building of the ark and what the Prophet SAW Salem was given when Allah says in NACA br Yanina Russell, new Halle Salam was told to build the ark was not Alpha Luca, br you Nina. It also suggested that we will watch over every single nail, every single piece of wood, we will control every part of this design. And Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam is being told what's really hooked me Rebecca in NACA br Yanina, stay committed to your mission, no matter what people are saying to you, no matter how much they call you crazy. Whatever insults they give
you. Keep moving forward, don't back down. Because every step you take is being designed by us.
Every single step you take is being designed by us. So don't think these people have control. Don't think these people can cause any failure, they cannot cause anything, you just keep doing what you're doing. Your mission is this. And it doesn't matter what anybody else says. So it's almost like when you're suicidal and is thinking about the work that he's doing. He can't help but make the connection between what Newhart is Saddam was doing as he was building the ark. But the problem with that was, the more you build the arc, the closer you get towards the punishment. The closer you the people of Newhart getting towards punishment, and the more Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is giving
Dawa, the closer his people are getting towards the punishment, things are about to change. Things are about to change and so beautifully what Allah does in this in this surah he tells the Prophet alayhi salatu salam to make this be
he tells him seems like it's unrelated was when you hook me up Becca, for intercambiar you Nina was behind the rugby Kahina at ACOEM Wamena Layli for Serbia who were advised on najem as you get to the end of the Surah, the prophet social and is being told, keep doing this be of Allah until it borrowed
June, meaning looters. We have Allah in the nighttime also, until the stars begin to disappear, meaning Fajr time. Yeah. And this is a very important image because the image of doing this be of Allah in the night is actually like his mission. He is calling to Allah describing the perfection of Allah, sharing the word of Allah. And around him is the darkness of Cofer darkness of shirt like the darkness of the night. And soon that situation is about to change. There's going to be a new morning that's coming, a new light is going to emerge out of Medina, a new situation is going to arise. And to prepare for that mentally, the prophets lie Selim is being told Wamena Layli for Serbia, who were
at the bar on new June, declare Allah as perfection until the coming of the morning, until the disappearance of the stars, meaning there's new light that's coming, right. So in it, there's a subtle hint that things are about to change until the hokum of Allah comes. Until then you keep doing this, what's really hooked me up, because until then you keep working. But soon I will give you a new home, a new rule. And that rule will be to make hijra, and you'll have to go. So in the last part of this goodbye, I wanted to share with you what this means for you and me. These are just some connections, that I wanted to show you how beautifully and very delicately there are
connections made in the Quran, between things. But what does that mean for you and me? You see the Prophet alayhi salatu salam is being told that sometimes when you learn through him, we're learning when you do the right thing. When you follow the Command of Allah, when you stand by the truth, when you stand by what is just when you don't allow corruption to happen under your watch, when you call it out. Whenever you do that, it requires stubborn. Because whenever you say the truth, somebody gets angry. If you say the truth to your mother, she'll get angry. If you say the truth, try, don't try this at home, she'll get angry. If you tell the truth to your brother, he'll might get angry,
there's a truth inside you. There's something wrong has happened if you speak the truth in the family. Sometimes if you chase speak the truth in your department, the manager might get angry. If you speak the truth in court, some politician might get angry. You know that whenever people stand by the right thing, then people get offended. You're afraid to get attacked when you do the right thing. And so what did the prophets I seldom get told was Billy hook me up because this is somebody actually southern is I'm going to stand by the right thing, no matter what happens, no matter what, no matter what people say, no matter how much they attack me. In fact, in the Sooner right before
this, I'm usually doing a Caden, are they planning or the scheming? Are they making a plan to hurt the Prophet in some way? Is that what they're planning? Let them plan. You just do what your Rob told you. You keep doing that. But when you do that, it's scary. It's scary. And so what Allah tells us prophesy Saddam, is that yes, they will attack they will insult they will even by the way, they did try to kill the Prophet didn't pay. Before he could leave Makkah, they tried to kill him. And he thought, oh, Saddam. So it will get more and more serious, but just know even when they're trying to kill you, you are under our eye, Allah is watching. And this being under the eye of Allah is
actually a very loving phrase. It's a phrase of, it's not just oh, we're watching you, like, you know, like a security camera watching. It's not like that. It's much more loving than that, like a mother who takes her child out. And she's a little baby two, three years old is walking a little bit. And the mother every two, three seconds, she's checking if he's still there. And or if he, if he lets go over hand for a quick second, she immediately gets it again. Because she keeps she needs to keep an eye on the baby every second. This has been a uni ha. It's under her eyes, or be at her under her eyes. And so when the prophets lifetime is being told, Allah is watching, Allah is telling
him you're never alone. When you think they are so many of them and there's so few of the followers. They have so much power, I have nothing no you have Allah with you. So you will suddenly have a big fight in the caviar unit. Now, what that means for you and me again is we've got to be strong. And we've got to, we've got to keep doing the right thing until it becomes impossible to do the right thing. Until the very moment it becomes impossible. And when it becomes impossible, Allah will open a new door because Allah that's his promise in other places in the Quran to Romania, tequila Hajj, I'm the homeless Rajan, whoever has Taqwa of Allah. Allah will make a new way out for them. A new
exit a new possibility. This is less similar to the DUA the Prophet sighs and I was told to make on a big hill
Hello Seth Kenworth rich Nemo kraja said can, you know, when you when you bring me into a situation, bring me with truth and if you get me out of a situation, get me out because of truth. You know, and it's a loaded phrase, but the fundamental idea is the same. The idea is you and I cannot just say, we stand up for justice without going through pain, you have to go through pain. Allah loved his prophets, I saw them so much. And he allowed him to go through a lot of pain. And that's an important lesson supper means you have to go through pain. And when we are ready to go through that pain, then like No, hello, he said, like Musa alayhis salam and finally like even Rasulullah
salAllahu alayhi salam, we are going to be under the eye of Allah. Allah is going to be watching and he's going to and how will you find this? When Will Allah give a new way for you? How will Allah make a new you know, opening for you? Well, the secret is given in the Surah isn't it some bit behind the Rebecca Hinata comb? Amina Layli Fussa Bihu at about noon, do to us we have Allah every time you get up. Just remember Allah in every activity Hina to home means basically any activity, everything you're about to do remember Allah first. Your Allah I know you're watching, y'all, I know you're perfect. Do that first, and then do whatever job you're about to do. And then even at
nighttime, when all your activities are done, then get up in the middle of the night and then declare Allah's perfection again, until the stars disappeared. We connect ourselves to Allah, and Allah guarantees he will bring a new situation. But it's not just dua to Allah, it's Southern, standing up for the truth, and dua to Allah. And so this is what I want to conclude with some people, they have this wrong idea. You're sad, I made so much dua to Allah. Allah is not changing anything I keep making do I keep making dua, but nothing is changing. Right? But the only problem with that is you're making dua but you don't have any suburb and suburb doesn't mean that you sit
there and let the situation happen. Then I ask sometimes what is not changing? Well, my father, he gets really angry, and I make so much dua that Allah makes him a happy person, and he stops being an angry person. But that's not happening. We'll do our the purpose of do is not to change another human being. But maybe you should have some suburb which also means you should talk talk to your dad about his anger problem. No, no, no, I can't do that. Well, then don't start stop making drive.
Because you don't have the support of that customer requires you have to speak the truth. So that requires you have to confront the situation. And then act with that is this B with that as da those two things go hand in hand. You can't just not do anything and then just say I'm making dua, nothing is changing. You see. So this powerful lesson is being given to the Prophets lesson. He wasn't just told do this be Allah will get rid of your enemies know what's really helped me Rebecca was a bit firmer against the things they're saying still face them still share the truth with them, be insulted by them even deal with their attacks. All of that will happen. But at the same time keep
doing this be this is the mentality I have to develop. This is the thought process I have to develop. This is the thought process new honey salaam was given. This is a thought that mentality Musa Alison was given and it was finally in its perfected form given to us all allah sallallahu Allah Subhana Allah azza wa jal guide our actions and our thoughts and our emotions through his beautiful words, and may Allah azza wa jal bring the blessings of the Quran into my life and yours BarakAllahu li Walakum Quran Al Hakim on our annual El Camino it was it Hakeem
