Omar Suleiman – Dont minimize your pain – seek its reward

			But then bearing witness that nun has the right to be worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except
for him. And we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is his final messenger We ask
Allah to send his peace and blessings upon him, his family companions and those that follow until
the day of judgment we ask Allah to make us amongst them, Allah him I mean, the brothers and sisters
in the beginning of this week, two people that are very close to me lost their mothers may Allah
subhanaw taala have mercy on them and accept them into his Jannah May Allah subhanahu wa taala allow
them to feel comfort and to achieve the reward through patience Allahumma Amin and as you're talking
		

			to someone that is burying a loved one, it's very hard to convey any type of hope that's left in
this world and all of us that have been there with burying a loved one can relate to that that how
do you say to someone that there is any type of hope or replacement left in this world? When on
Southern model the Allahu Tada and her last Abu sedima Are the Allahu Anhu. And she prayed to Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah for something better. And when sunnah model the Allah and her got the Prophet
salallahu it he was setting them. But for most of us, that type of replacements in this world does
not come and what's usually left is a great void and if you don't treat that void properly, then
		

			what it could do is it could deplete you to where you do not pursue happiness in this life or the
next but instead you just kind of shut off. May Allah subhanaw taala have mercy on our loved ones
and may Allah subhanaw taala gather us with them around the beloved SallAllahu arte who was salam
Allahumma Amin, but then I started thinking about it from a greater perspective in terms of how we
treat pain in the first place. And how we achieve suburb and the difference between patients which
is suburb and the sub which is to seek the reward and the way that the model has led him Allah
defined it so beautifully. He said that the sub is a suburb, the edge Raja throw up. It is patients
		

			that you seek a reward with. And so what defines or what graduates a person's patience where they
don't say anything. You know, on the profit side, some saw the woman that was crying at the
graveyard and saying things that were inappropriate and he told her to be patient and she instead
lashed out not knowing who he was some Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he told her a Sabra and the
supplemental hola you don't have to worry about offending me He forgave her right away. But patience
is not the first strike patience is to hold yourself attempts
		

			to restrain
		

			the sob is to seek the reward to actually use that pain and that patients to propel you closer to
Allah subhanho wa taala. And there's something beautiful about that because it teaches us that one
of the things that we do wrong when we try to make ourselves patients or make other people patients
is trying to minimize their tragedy. Try to minimize their pain, try to minimize their burden as a
way of putting things in perspective. Whereas in reality, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada does not want us to
minimize our pain. Allah wants us to use our pain to seek something greater with him. And as I was
going through the Hadith on the subject, I came across this longer narration and Kitab is both with
		

			my magic with it no magic mom no magic and the mama Timothy Rahim Allah to Allah and it's a week
narration and it's chained but a profound wisdom, where every meaning it is so strong and reinforced
by other Hadith I just thought that it would be a beautiful one for us to reflect upon, in the short
moments today. narrated from without all the Allahu Tada and hold that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said as the harder to fit dunya laser to be to three mil Halal wala Illa till man when I
can as I heard that if it dunya and takuna be mafia, DECA oh come in Mafia de la the first part of
it. This narration that Zuid asceticism in this world is not that you forbid yourself from lawful
		

			money from lawful income Allah subhanaw taala allows you to earn nor to squander your money, not use
your money the Halla that you earn to use it in a way that pleases you in a halal way that's not
Zuid. That's not asceticism. asceticism is not depriving yourself in you know, self afflicted
poverty, putting yourself in a difficult situation and calling that Zote. But asceticism he says is
that what is in your hand is not greater in your sight than what is in the hands of Allah subhanho
wa Taala so beautiful, that what is in your hand is not greater to you than what is in the hands of
Allah subhanho wa Taala and the second part of this narration speaks to the masiva he says What am
		

			Tikona FIFA been we'll see but to either enter or scepter beha Araga fee. Hello Anna
		

			Ha Opia Tilak
		

			This is so powerful, that you are more hopeful of the reward that comes from an affliction when you
suffer from that affliction, than if it would have remained with you, that you are more hopeful in
the reward that is with Allah subhanahu Atana then even if it would have remained
		

			with you, meaning the affliction that you suffer, remains, but the reward that you seek from Allah
subhanho wa Taala puts the affliction in perspective. So it's not that the affliction is to be
lessened. It's not that the pain is to be lessened. It's not that you're supposed to say, well, it's
okay, you know, I'll move on. It's not that you are supposed to feel less hurt about it. It's that
you take that pain and you convert it to draft. You convert it to supplication, you let it drive you
to prayer, you let it drive you to seek a reward from Allah subhanho wa taala. That with every
single diminishing in this world, you see an opportunity for increase in the next that with every
		

			single disappointments in this world, you don't turn off from everything else you see an opportunity
or something to cause you to hope for what's in the next. It doesn't cause you to pursue this world
and head on or to enjoy it in Halal any less. It causes you to remain attached to what is permanent,
and what will outlive this world and to let that reward become your pursuit. And subhanAllah. We
find this reinforced over and over and over again and at the sub in this practice of anti sob in
this practice of seeking the reward, which is why the prophets lie some would say to the one when
they lose someone beloved to them. fosmon was tested. Foster whitest any pain that you suffer in
		

			this world, be patient with its meaning hold yourself back and then activate yourself in seeking the
reward. Patience is not reacting in a way that would cause you to lose the reward of that affliction
in and of itself, if the sob is taking that affliction and making it a means of elevation in the
Hereafter. And so enjoy what is in your hands while it's in your hands. But don't let ever let what
is in your hands corrupt your heart or allow you to lose sight of what is in the hands of Allah
subhanaw taala enjoy the blessings that you have in this life and do not seek affliction. Don't seek
trial. Don't test Allah subhanaw taala tests you don't seek pain. Don't disconnect from your loved
		

			ones because you say Allah is going to take them away from me one day anyway. Don't treat them any
less don't have any less of emotion towards what Allah has brought to you in this life but don't
ever let it distract you or clout. The place where loved ones are no longer separated. And where we
no longer have to just read about our beloved one sallallahu alayhi wa sallam but we can dine with
