Omar Suleiman – Exhausted for the Sake of Allah

			Now there's something to speak about here when it talks about being tired. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam never taught us to seek tiredness for the sake of seeking tiredness or seek is
exhaustion for the sake of being exhausted. Mahalia Rasul Allah Allah Islam Bina Amrhein prophesy
son was not given a choice between two things except for what if Tara? Hey, Salma, the prophets lie
some took the easier one of the two routes. If there were two equal things in front of the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he always chose the easier route at his salatu salam. He told his
companions not to sit out in the hot sun, if they have shade, He taught his companions and he taught
		

			his wife while the Allahu Taala and her Xena, when she had the rope in the masjid to hold herself up
when she would get tired, that once a person reaches that point, where they no longer know what
they're saying anymore, at that point, you should go to sleep. So the prophets lie some was not one
who taught us to self destruct to hurt ourselves. But there's a natural element of a tab of of
hardship fatigue, that comes with worshipping Allah subhanaw taala, especially in the seasons. And
there's a visual and alpha that I always think about May Allah azza wa jal allow us to return to
alpha, everyone say Amin and have an accepted hedge when Allah is boasting to the angels, and he
		

			says, look at these earbuds, look at them. And Allah says Oberon, they're covered in dust. They're
tired, they're dishevelled. What are they seeking? They're seeking Allah's mercy, bear witness, oh
angels, I've forgiven them all. So Allah subhanaw taala looks out at the people and sees them tired.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in an authentic hadith in Sahih Muslim and I want you
to think about this hadith. It's actually the end of one of the Urbina. Noway the Prophet sighs Sam
said Kulu now see ya do further your own NAFSA it's actually one of my favorite Hadith and Albarino
No, it's the end of it. And this hadith in Sahih, Muslim, the prophet signs and I'm said, Every
		

			morning you wake up, selling your soul.
		

			For Kulu NASCIO Lu coolness you have to buy enough. So every day you wake up in the morning, and
your capital, what you put on sale is your soul. For more TQL ha, oh Mobikwik. He said, Sal, Allahu
alayhi wa sallam, you either free your soul, or you destroy it. Think about that idea here, that you
wake up in the morning, and your soul is your commodity, you're either going to sell it to this
dunya. Or you're going to sell it to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, and to sell it to Allah subhanho
wa Taala is a means by which you liberate it, to sell it to this dunya as a means by which you
destroy it, you cause it to perish? Meaning what? What exhausts you? What gives you concern? What
		

			are you thinking about at night, when you put your when you put your head to your pillow? What's
consuming your thoughts at that point? What is it that causes you to ache? What is it that causes
your heart to beat a little bit faster? What are you losing sleep over?
		

			As much as that can be Allah, then that's better.
		

			Now, it is unreasonable. And there's a reason why we don't do this throughout the year. It's
unreasonable to be in last 10 Nights mode throughout the year, just like it's unreasonable to fast
every day of the year. In fact, the prophets lie some prohibited, right. This is not a reasonable
daily schedule, but the spirits and the proportion of it should carry on after Ramadan in the same
way that the other elements of Ramadan do carry over. How are you tiring yourself for Allah subhanaw
taala? How are you exhausting yourself for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala What are you putting
yourself through for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala not an unnecessary, incurring of hardship upon
		

			yourself. But there are those who mean a Nassima yesterday enough Sahaba de la mandala Tila there
are those that sell themselves for the pursuit of Allah's pleasure and for the pursuit of Allah's
mercy. And so I want you in sha Allah to Anna, as you feel that sense of tiredness. You know, it's
interesting, because in the last 10 Nights, you're looking for that deeply spiritual moment, you're
looking for that moment that you feel a deep connection to Allah subhanaw taala and you make that
DUA and you force a tear, maybe, and all of that is good. All of that is wonderful. But it might be
that the moment that Allah subhanaw taala looks at you and has the most mercy on you, is when you
		

			are in your weakest and most vulnerable point, vulnerable point. And it's 4am and you're trying to
walk and keep your eyes open for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and that might be the moment that
Allah looks at you and forgives you and grants you data to
		

			that moment that you're at
		

			You're most exhausted. Because Allah accounts for that fatigue. Allah accounts for that exhaustion.
Could lunacy have to do further. You're enough, sir. In Memoriam Chico Ha, Imam will be kaha
everyone wakes up in the morning selling their soul for something. Either they liberate their soul
by that or they destroy their soul by that may Allah make us amongst those who sell ourselves for
his pleasure, who pursue his pleasure with everything that we have. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala
allow the halal risk our jobs that we go about doing throughout the day, the things that we do that
are otherwise mundane, the idle things that we do that we do just because we live, may Allah make
		

			all of that visa vie all of that in his cause. Because Allah subhanaw taala rewards everything that
is permissible when it's done seeking His pleasure, as an act of worship as well. So may Allah count
our sleep? May Allah count our eating? May Allah count our worldly duties also as forms of worship?
And may Allah allow our greatest concern to always be His pleasure? And the hereafter May Allah
subhanaw taala make us amongst those who achieved the best of it. Allah means is that going to Plato
