Nouman Ali Khan – Nothing is Going My Way Q&A

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

Everybody

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

from us has hardships in life.

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

But in recently, I have so much pain

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

and stress and difficulties

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

that

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

nearly every door I want to go, it

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

get closed or it get canceled or or

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

it get, I'm late or delayed.

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

And I try to remind myself, like, what

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

would, a prophet do in this time.

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

And,

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

I know they had sabr, and I know

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

they had iman, but when I want to

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

do this, translate my this in into actions,

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

I don't know how. Like, I don't know

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

how to really have a man in Allah

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

that,

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

no matter how hard it gets, I stay

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

strong. I don't get weak and know who

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

Allah really is in my heart.

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

What doors are closing? Can you tell me?

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

Maybe school,

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

marriage,

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

Sometimes,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

little things I want to do with my

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

family member sometimes. Some,

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

for example, go out Look. And it gets

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

canceled. I don't know why. And Because

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

life is about a lot of difficulties and

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

failures. Yes.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

But every time a door opens,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

your it's not you don't wait for another

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

door to open.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

You push another door open. Yes.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

You have to look for it yourself.

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

Okay.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

Look.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

But what should I understand?

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

The message from Allah, what is it from?

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

To become more resilient.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

You have to become more resourceful.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

And how to be more creative. And how

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

can I become more resilient?

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

I tried to read Quran, I write down

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

If you're if one thing doesn't work out

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

and you're like, why did this not happen?

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

You know, like, you know how birds sometimes

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

they crash into the window over and over,

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

I guess?

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

If the birds had a little bit more

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

brain, they would find another way. Yes. That's

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

what I mean by resilience. It's not just

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

that you have to just take a situation

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

and be patient.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

If one door isn't opening, look for another

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

door. When that closes, look for another one.

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

Then that one is look for another one,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

but keep looking.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

And how can I get to know Like,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

Allah? Let me give you an example. If

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

you couldn't find a job

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

and you applied to another one and they

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

said no, then you applied to another one,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

do you stop or you keep going? I

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

I keep going. You keep going? Yes.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

And then you get you got a job

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

you don't like.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

You still take it. Yes. Until something else

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

opens up that you do like. Right?

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

So life doesn't happen on my terms. Yes.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

I have to

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

keep navigating.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

As a new wave comes, I gotta go

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

around it. And how can I get to

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

know Allah more deeply

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

so my iman gets strong in this situation?

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

My answer might be different from other people.

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

To me, it is it is an engagement

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

with the Quran that connects you with Omar.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

Just reading. Like you said, just reading

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

For for the beginning. Yeah. Reciting,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

contemplating,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

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