La Kulu colons de vida ustelecom La, la comme Vinoba calm when a nuclear Zaha SUTA who *a defesa Fosun or Lima, my beret, your brothers and sisters, if any of you have ever encountered a fear of flying, there's something very interesting about the particular phobia that some have with being in an airplane.

00:00:26--> 00:01:12

And no matter what statistics you give to someone about how safe it is to fly, if someone has an apprehension, you can tell them you're more likely to be hit by a car while riding your bike, you're more likely to die by a furniture fall, you're more likely to die by this to die by the the apprehension is still very strong. And one of the reasons for that is that there's a psychology to it of not being able to control your own fate. When you're in a plane, and you're in mid air, and the turbulence starts. And I'm sure many of us have experienced that where you're watching a movie or you're reading something or you're talking to someone and then as soon as the plane starts to

00:01:12--> 00:01:32

shake, everyone starts to make sure everything gets very tense, except for the experienced fliers that have been on there all the time. But the turbulence causes a great sense of apprehension. And even if you try to go through the statistics in your head and say, Well, you know, this happens all the time. It's okay, everything's gonna be fine.

00:01:33--> 00:01:42

Most people who fly frequently could tell you that they've experienced a moment where they thought this turbulence was going to lead to a plane accident that it was going to crash this time.

00:01:43--> 00:02:39

Now why is this significant or relevant to what we're talking about with Musa alayhis salam and Allah subhanho wa taala, parting the seas for him and making a way out for him. I want you to think about Musa alayhis salam in context of what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us to say nightly la Mulder wala mangia Amin que Illa la IC O Allah, there is no refuge and no escape from you except to you. Melda is a place of refuge. Manda is one who delivers, there is no refuge and no delivery from you except to you Allah. There is no safety, no stability, no shelter to be found except by going back to you oh Allah. And many times it's in our heads that we have these imaginary

00:02:39--> 00:03:27

sources of strength and stability that actually are not sources of stability in our lives. And subhanAllah it doesn't just start with Musa it said I'm walking through the seas. Look at what Allah tells the mother of Musa alayhis salam or inspires to the mother of Musa alayhis salam for either if Dr. Lee if you're worried about him fairly heavily and then put them in the Nile River, which goes against all logic with her at that moment. If you're worried about your baby, put him in the river and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada will deliver him, Allah Subhana Allah will take care of him. Musa alayhis salam learned very early on that the staff that he had, he had to let it go to find his support only

00:03:27--> 00:03:59

in Allah subhana wa Tada that it wasn't the staff that he was leaning on that it was Allah Subhana Allah to Allah giving him strength. And Musa Islam understood that this staff was just a means by which Allah subhanho wa Taala opens things up. And I want you to think about that moment when he splits the seas by the permission of Allah subhanaw taala and walks through it and Musa alayhis salam is on lands with his people walking between the ocean or the sea split into two and standing like mountains there.

00:04:00--> 00:04:26

And moosari snappiness people walk through it and I want you to remember New Orleans, Saddam and his son, Noah, as the floods are coming down and things are filling up. And as he is moving away, he sees his son staying back. And what is his son say, sir we Isla Jebel yah, Simoni Minalima I'm going to stay on this mountain, and it will protect me from the water.

00:04:28--> 00:04:59

All of this Dear Brothers and Sisters is to teach us a lesson. That stability comes from obedience to Allah subhanho wa Taala that the firm ground that we are upon is the obedience to Allah subhanaw taala is the righteousness that we get and attain through that obedience and then the reward of that righteousness of Tibet of firmness and stability. So if you run away from something, run to Allah subhanho wa taala. And if you are afraid of something, seek refuge only in Allah

00:05:00--> 00:05:44

And if you are seeking victory, then do as Allah subhana wa Tada commands, and do not be diluted by the things that are around us, that seem to be sources of strength and stability. But all they are are tools from Allah subhanho wa taala. And that's why your brothers and sisters, on the Day of Judgment, when the skies are ripped open, when the seas start to rebel, you know, they said two hurricanes coming at the same time, right? Never happened before, when the seas burst when, when nature starts to give in. And what is what are the people say on the Day of Judgment, we'll call in Santa Monica, the ground starts to shake, and they say, wait a minute, either. Out of those Zala

00:05:44--> 00:06:07

things are shaking, and it's what's going on here. It's not supposed to be this way. And your brothers and sisters in times of Agia in times of strange things, and things that are supernatural and things that don't make sense. All of this also teaches us to seek our strength in the one who is not moved by his creation and Allah subhanho wa Taala through it all.

00:06:08--> 00:06:50

Whether you are in the air, or whether you are in the water, or whether you're on firm ground, or whether you're the one in the driver's seat or not. The reality is that you're always a passenger. The reality is that you are always vulnerable and floating, mid air in the middle of water, and you need ALLAH SubhanA Jota to deliver you, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to deliver us, always to him, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us of people that seek refuge seek our cure, seek our stability only in Him and to never allow us to find strength outside of him that would dilute us and only expose itself when it's too late. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to strengthen us with this revelation

00:06:50--> 00:07:06

to give us aid as he gave aid to Musa alayhis salam to give us always ease after hardship and to allow us to find the reward that he has promised for all of his prophets. Allahumma Amin Akula Coda was talking about you will look on where he started and what's the mean first stuff we do in the whole of all right.
