We begin by praising Allah subhanahu wa ta

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

'ala I'm bearing witness that none has the

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

right to be worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except

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

for him And we bear witness that Muhammad

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

sallallahu alayhi wasallam is his final messenger We

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

ask Allah to send his peace and blessings

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

upon him the prophets and messengers that came

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

before him his family and companions that served

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

Alongside him and those that follow in his

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

blessed path until the day of judgment We

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

ask Allah to make us amongst them Allahumma

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

ameen dear brothers and sisters Before I start

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

with the story, I'm going to give you

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

a disclaimer that it's not that serious What

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

I'm going to share with you to begin

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

this khutba to frame it is actually something

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

very minor that happened But you'll understand inshallah

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

ta'ala why I choose to start with

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

this in a minute a Few months ago.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

I was riding my bike and I had

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

my daughter my youngest daughter behind me on

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

the bike And we weren't in the United

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

States, and so she wasn't wearing a helmet

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

And she should wear a helmet and she

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

was in that basket a little cubby behind

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

me and as we were riding subhanAllah the

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

bike fell or I fell with the bike

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

and It fell in a way that Allah

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

subhanahu wa ta'ala is so merciful Her

00:01:15 --> 00:01:20

head was right between two trees in front

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

of a concrete wall and hum did it

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

I don't mean completely unscratched and In that

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

process.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

I got a little scar on my ankle

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

And subhanAllah the reason why I start with

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

this is because obviously when these types of

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

things happen to us our minds as parents

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

go to all of that what could have

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

been and the reason why I tell you

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

it's not that serious is Because we have

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

people in here that have been through traumatic

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

car accidents and things of that sort Hum

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

did a lot of it.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

I mean, it's nothing like that But I

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

start with this because my khutba today was

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

actually inspired by the doctor The doctor that

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

was treating the scar on my ankle He

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

told me he said hum did a lot.

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

This is gonna heal just fine.

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

So long as it's not infected But he

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

said that it's probably going to be a

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

little bit discolored for the rest of your

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

life Perhaps as a sign of the mercy

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said JazakAllah

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

khair That's what I needed to hear.

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

Why do I start with that?

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

about a very special man by the name

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

of Owais Al Qarni radiAllahu ta'ala anhum

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

wa huwa khayru tabi'een and he is

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

the best of the tabi'een and This

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

khutba does not give me enough time to

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

be able to do a full biography Perhaps

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

bi'idhnillahi ta'ala in the near future

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

a full biography of this man But of

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

the ways that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

sallam described him He said alayhi salatu wassalam

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

in the authentic hadith of sahih muslim He

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

said ya'ti alaykum Owais ibn Amir ma'a

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

amdadi ahl al-yaman min muradin thumma min

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

qaran The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

that Owais is going to come to you

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

a man by the name of Owais ibn

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

Amir will come to you from the delegations

00:02:59 --> 00:03:04

of Yemen and He is from this tribe

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

the larger tribe of Murad and then specifically

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

a sub tribe of Qarn and He describes

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

him sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he says kana

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

bihi barasun fabara fabara minhu illa mawdi ad

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

-durham He said sallallahu alayhi wasallam that he

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

used to have leprosy and he was cured

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

from that leprosy except for a coin's worth

00:03:25 --> 00:03:29

on his body and The second description is

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

what he's most famous for he said sallallahu

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

alayhi wasallam Lahu waleedatun huwa biha barra that

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

he has a mother and he is dutiful

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

to his mother He has a mother and

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44

he treats his mother with great kindness and

00:03:44 --> 00:03:48

obedience Qala law aqsama ala allahi la barra

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

hu fa inista ta'ta an yastaghfira laka fa

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

fa'al The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

if he was to take an oath upon

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala Allah would honor that

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

oath And so if you are able to

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

ask him to seek forgiveness for you Then

00:04:04 --> 00:04:07

do so and of course the longer story

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

includes Omar radiallahu ta'ala anhu finding Owaisa

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

al-Qarni radiallahu ta'ala anhu and asking

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

him to ask Allah to forgive him and

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

the direct and primary point is that the

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

virtue of honoring the mother is of the

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

greatest virtues and can cause a person to

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

ascend in rank Above those that pray all

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

night and above those that fast long into

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

the days But I want to focus just

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

on that First part that often gets overlooked

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says kaana

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

bihi barasun fa barra minhu illa mawdi'a

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

dirham When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

he had leprosy and Allah cured him of

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

that leprosy except for a coin's worth And

00:04:48 --> 00:04:52

Imam al-Nawwi rahimahullah and others they described

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

that when Owaisa made du'a to Allah

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

subhanahu wa'ta'ala to cure him That he

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

asked Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala to actually leave

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

a spot Let him have a little bit

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

on his body liyatadhakara biha ni'matallahi alayhim So

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

he could remember the blessing of Allah subhanahu

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

wa'ta'ala upon him And that's a very

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

powerful concept if you think about it And

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

I want us to think about the Prophet

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

sallallahu alayhi wasallam first and foremost when the

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam was a

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

child Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala sent Jibreel alayhi

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

salam to perform a surgery on him and

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

That was to remove his heart as a

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

child and to remove from his heart anything

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

that would not be befitting of the mission

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

that he had ahead of him alayhi salatu

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

wassalam and There was makhit literally a stitching

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

on the chest of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

wasallam as Anas ibn Malik radiyallahu anhu says

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

for the rest of his life imagine for

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55

35 years Looking at your chest and not

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

knowing why that surgery happened or what that

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

surgery was actually all about but as a

00:06:00 --> 00:06:03

reminder of Something that Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

wanted to leave for the messenger of Allah

00:06:05 --> 00:06:09

sallallahu alayhi wasallam Later on 60 years later

00:06:09 --> 00:06:13

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam Meets an old

00:06:13 --> 00:06:17

woman named Shayma bint al-harith radiallahu ta

00:06:17 --> 00:06:21

'ala anha And Shayma tells the Prophet sallallahu

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

alayhi wasallam that I'm your sister.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

He says, what do you mean?

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

You're my sister and she reminds him that

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

she was his foster sister and shows the

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam bite marks From when

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

he was a child when he was a

00:06:36 --> 00:06:40

baby sallallahu alayhi wasallam and playing with his

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

sister and so I'm starting with the most

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

minimal manifestation of scars and the most minimal

00:06:45 --> 00:06:50

manifestation of marks for a reason That throughout

00:06:50 --> 00:06:55

our lives we accumulate these small physical scars

00:06:55 --> 00:06:59

These small physical reminders and they remind us

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

of the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

upon us in some way They remind us

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

of a time of trauma.

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

They remind us of a time of triumph.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

They remind us of something that happened to

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

us They remind us of something that happened

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

to someone else and I want to say

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

from the very beginning I am NOT in

00:07:15 --> 00:07:19

any way minimizing here or comparing these types

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

of scars these little marks from when we

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

were children and maybe we fell off of

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

something to people that have Actual disabilities or

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

people that suffered a severe disfigurement that affected

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

their daily lives because those two things are

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

not the same I'm starting with this to

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

make a point that Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39

leaves these things on us first and foremost

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

to remind us of something and every single

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

person has Something like that.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

In fact, we all have that bellybutton which

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

reminds us that once upon a time Allah

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

subhanahu wa'ta'ala Nourished us through our mothers

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

through that single umbilical cord.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

That is a wound that Allah azawajal left

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02

on you So that you could remember the

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

mercy of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and of

00:08:03 --> 00:08:06

course for our mothers the marks that are

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

left upon them May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

reward our parents and have mercy upon them

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

and Forgive them as they raised us and

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

as we often forget their favors upon us

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

Allahumma ameen At the bare minimum, there's something

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

that's left on her from carrying you and

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

sometimes of course many of those who even

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

go through the surgeries the C-sections an

00:08:27 --> 00:08:32

actual scar a reminder of that moment from

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala where Allah azawajal brought

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

them through something and a reminder to the

00:08:37 --> 00:08:41

child of What they had to go through

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

to bring you into this world Go a

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

little bit more severe our brothers and sisters

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50

that have had surgeries that have had operations

00:08:50 --> 00:08:54

that have had severe Moments in their lives

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

where Allah azawajal reminded them that he or

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

she was at their mercy and There's something

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

left over even if it's only detectable To

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

you or to someone who's paying attention and

00:09:06 --> 00:09:09

looking very closely Go a little bit further

00:09:09 --> 00:09:12

and you think about the community of the

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam And in the community

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam if you

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

were to walk around you would see people

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23

Who were missing arms who were missing legs

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

and all of that?

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

Was feast a beat Allah I want you

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

to think about meeting khabab or the allah

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

ta'ala and ho and how khabab even

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

in the most powerful days of Islam would

00:09:35 --> 00:09:38

never be able to forget his most difficult

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

days in Islam because he had no skin

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

on his back Not everyone was seeing the

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

back of khabab or the allah ta'ala

00:09:45 --> 00:09:49

on him on a daily basis Perhaps it

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

was just khabab and his immediate family, but

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

khabab or the allah ta'ala who could

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

look and he could see What was on

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

his back if you could think about all

00:09:59 --> 00:10:02

of the marks on the bodies of?

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

Those people closest to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

wasallam You think there was nothing left on

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

Sayyidina Ali radiallahu ta'ala anhu when he

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

fought the boogeyman of Quraysh No marks that

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

were on his body every single part of

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

his body was marked Feast a beat Allah

00:10:18 --> 00:10:22

no, Sayyidah radiallahu anha um, Amara She had

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

12 wounds from the Battle of Uhud feast

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

a beat Allah She was walking around and

00:10:26 --> 00:10:29

her arm almost completely severed feast a beat

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

Allah Abu Ubaidah I'll be allahu ta'ala

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

anhu Who had missing teeth and a lisp

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

why because he pulled the helmet of the

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam out of his face

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

on the day of Uhud when it was

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

driven into his face and He used his

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

mouth or the allahu anhu to pull that

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

out of the face of the Prophet sallallahu

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

alayhi wasallam And so this commander Who is

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

representing?

00:10:53 --> 00:10:56

This great ummah is going around the world

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

and he has an awkward lisp.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:00

Why and missing teeth?

00:11:00 --> 00:11:01

Why he remembers?

00:11:02 --> 00:11:05

And he could look back and he could

00:11:05 --> 00:11:06

remember those days with the Messenger of Allah

00:11:06 --> 00:11:10

Sallallahu alayhi wasallam and the list goes on

00:11:10 --> 00:11:14

and on and on Had over 70 wounds

00:11:14 --> 00:11:18

from that day His kids actually could remember

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

putting their fingers into the depth of those

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

wounds from Uhud They didn't live but they

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

saw something on him Why am I giving

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

this particular?

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

Overview, these are the visible scars that have

00:11:31 --> 00:11:36

healed that are seemingly insignificant to the very

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

prominent wounds that we either Incurred during an

00:11:40 --> 00:11:43

accident or during some sort of health struggle

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

or during something fee Sabiha Allah And that

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

is of course the minority all of this

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

Is for Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala to keep

00:11:52 --> 00:11:57

you humble you see not all wounds are

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

meant to heal, but they're all meant to

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

humble and To remind you of the mercy

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala upon you so

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

that every time you look at it you

00:12:06 --> 00:12:10

remember That Allah Azawajal has a story behind

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

that scar that Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

something behind that wound to remind you for

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

the rest of your life of where you

00:12:18 --> 00:12:21

came from and where you're trying to go

00:12:21 --> 00:12:25

and the invisible wounds, of course Are even

00:12:25 --> 00:12:26

harder to deal with?

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

Because the invisible wounds are the ones that

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

you only tend to see in yourself or

00:12:31 --> 00:12:35

someone who's deeply paying attention to you It's

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

harder to see those than even a tiny

00:12:37 --> 00:12:41

scar from the most sophisticated procedure that barely

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

leaves a mark on your body those emotional

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

wounds but subhanallah You look at the Prophet

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Rahmatan lil alameen, a

00:12:51 --> 00:12:55

mercy to the world the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:12:55 --> 00:12:58

wa sallam went through So much and this

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

is the month of seerah conferences and all

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

sorts of remembrances of the messenger of Allah

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam He went through so

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08

much alayhis salatu was salam that would have

00:13:08 --> 00:13:12

made any human being bitter But instead not

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

only did they make him better They made

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

him the best sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

Allah azawajal mentions to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:13:19 --> 00:13:22

wa sallam that those Inexplicable wounds that he

00:13:22 --> 00:13:25

was suffering as a child You don't think

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

he would have asked alayhis salatu was salam

00:13:27 --> 00:13:28

before revelation came to him.

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

Why was I born without a father?

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

Why did my mother die in front of

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

me when I was six?

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

Why did I lose my grandfather?

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38

Why this why that?

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

You don't think that those thoughts Wouldn't have

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

gone through his head as a child sallallahu

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

alayhi wa sallam because it didn't make sense

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

yet Why is all of this happening to

00:13:48 --> 00:13:48

me?

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

It didn't make him bitter It didn't make

00:13:51 --> 00:13:55

him jaded those emotional wounds were part of

00:13:55 --> 00:13:55

what?

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

Inspired the empathy of the messenger of Allah

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to be there for

00:14:00 --> 00:14:05

other people in ways that perhaps Had he

00:14:05 --> 00:14:08

not suffered those things alayhis salatu was salam

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

and carried those wounds He would not have

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

been able to now by the way Keep

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

in mind the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

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

of the excellence of his character It wasn't

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

like him alayhis salatu was salam to recount

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

the details I even mentioned subhanAllah when we

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

went through the lecture on Haleem as-saadiya

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

radiallahu anha an amina bint wahab When the

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went to her

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

grave His mother's grave and it wasn't that

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

far from Medina.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

Most of the sahaba had never even heard

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam talk about

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

Losing his mother at six because he was

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

so busy alayhis salatu was salam giving to

00:14:40 --> 00:14:44

others That he was nurturing those emotional wounds

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

alayhis salatu was salam in his own ways

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

You don't think the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

sallam who cried in front of his companion

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

standing in front of his mother's grave For

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

the first time that they saw him.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

You don't think the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

sallam ever cried about his mother in qiyam

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

You don't think that those emotional wounds that

00:14:59 --> 00:15:02

inspired him to be a mercy to the

00:15:02 --> 00:15:05

world Didn't also inspire the intensity of his

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

connecting to the most merciful and his ibada.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

Of course it did it was part of

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

his makeup sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and And

00:15:14 --> 00:15:19

sometimes We're so quick to want to stitch

00:15:19 --> 00:15:23

it up Remove it and Allah subhanahu wa'ta

00:15:23 --> 00:15:26

'ala puts it there for us for a

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

reason if you look at your body and

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

you kind of scan through and You remember

00:15:31 --> 00:15:32

sometimes you have marks of how to lie

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

your parents remember that you don't even remember

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

and you almost gave your parents Maybe a

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

heart attack because of that wound like I

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

remember you fell off of account.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

What was I doing there?

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

I don't know where you knock this on

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

top of yourself or you did this and

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

I had to take you to the hospital

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

And they cry and they cry and they

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

cry and they cry But you don't remember

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

any of it Perhaps it's a mark of

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

mercy to them as well But Allah subhanahu

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

wa'ta'ala knows that every single one of

00:15:59 --> 00:16:04

those marks visible and invisible is there for

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

a reason and The the fundamental reason is

00:16:07 --> 00:16:09

that you go back and you look at

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

them and you say alhamdulillah Because your personal

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

pain can be a source of other people's

00:16:13 --> 00:16:16

strength The pain that you suffer in this

00:16:16 --> 00:16:19

dunya is always an opportunity for healing in

00:16:19 --> 00:16:19

the akhira.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

Alhamdulillah You look at it.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

Yeah Allah, you know what other people see

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

and What only you see?

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

But let me use what other people see

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

and what only you see to please you

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

at the end of the day To channel

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

that back towards you now with all of

00:16:36 --> 00:16:39

that being said With the point of these

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

wounds and the point of these marks and

00:16:41 --> 00:16:45

these scars That sometimes leave a mark even

00:16:45 --> 00:16:49

if they don't fully heal Subhanallah, let's keep

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

in mind here that when it comes to

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

the people of Gaza for the rest of

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

our lives we will be surrounded by people

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

who will remind us of the horror of

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

The atrocities that were committed against them on

00:17:05 --> 00:17:09

this war on children Where you have more

00:17:09 --> 00:17:10

amputees?

00:17:10 --> 00:17:14

Than any other armed conflict people that are

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

intentionally being maimed They will forever serve as

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

a reminder to the rest of us It's

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

not like the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:17:21 --> 00:17:26

seeing the bite marks on shaymat It's us

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

seeing what has been done to our brothers

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

and sisters They will forever serve as a

00:17:30 --> 00:17:35

reminder of this crime against humanity and of

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

the crime of negligence as well May Allah

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

forgive us for our shortcomings Allahumma ameen And

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

it's not just true for the people of

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

Gaza certainly not just true for the people

00:17:44 --> 00:17:48

of Gaza It's true for many peoples but

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

dear brothers and sisters we look to ourselves

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

and the wounds that we have and How

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

to take those wounds and not like let

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

them make us bitter but make us better

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00

and we look to the wounds of others

00:18:00 --> 00:18:03

Some that are very visible to us and

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

the emotional wounds of the people of Gaza

00:18:05 --> 00:18:08

are far more subhanAllah than the arms and

00:18:08 --> 00:18:09

the legs That have been taken from them

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

We also need to use that to channel

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15

something out of ourselves To first and foremost

00:18:15 --> 00:18:18

remember Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala through those scars.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:21

Remember Allah through those wounds May Allah subhanahu

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

wa'ta'ala protect us and may Allah protect

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

us from our heedlessness and our arrogance May

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala allow us to process

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

everything that happens to us and everything that

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

happens to other than us In a way

00:18:33 --> 00:18:34

that we can use it to seek his

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

pleasure May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala heal the

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

people of Gaza and give them victory Heal

00:18:39 --> 00:18:42

the people of Sudan and give them prosperity

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

and ease heal the people of the Congo

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

heal the people of a Yemen May Allah

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

azawajal give victory to the most of our

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

scene all over the world the weak ones

00:18:49 --> 00:18:52

and the oppressed ones and the harmed Ones

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

all over the world and may Allah subhanahu

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

wa'ta'ala hold back the hands of those

00:18:55 --> 00:18:59

oppressors that continue to maim our Brothers and

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

sisters and may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala destroy

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

the oppressors wherever they are Allah Ma'a
