Imagine being the mother

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

who fears already for the life of your

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

son

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

and then

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

receives commandment from God to just put your

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

son in flowing waters.

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

The Quran describes this moment

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

and says,

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

I'll translate.

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

And we inspired

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

the mother of Musa.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

Suckle him. Nurse him.

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

But when you fear for him,

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

put him into the river,

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

and do not fear

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

and do not grieve.

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

Indeed will we return him to you

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

and make him one of the messengers?

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

Now imagine

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

imagine the pain in a mother's heart.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

Already knowing your son is at risk for

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

murder and many other boys have been murdered,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

And imagine the heart of a mother that

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

has to place her newborn son into a

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

basket in flowing waters,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

not knowing

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

where he will go.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

And so the Quran describes

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

the emotional

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

state

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

of Musa,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

the mother of Musa.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

The Quran says,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

I'll translate.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

The Quran says, the heart of the mother

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

of Musa ached so much,

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

ached

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

so much

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

that she almost gave away his identity. And

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

then Allah

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

said,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

had we not reassured

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

her hearts?

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

Had we not reassured

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

her heart

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

in order for her to have faith

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

in Allah's promise.

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

I'm gonna pause for a moment.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

This verse

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

is so powerful.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:31

Today,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

sisters and brothers,

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

when we look at what's happening in the

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

world around us,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

one of the biggest

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

trials

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

in modern

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

human history

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

is witnessing

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

a genocide unfold right

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

before your

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

eyes

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

and feeling helpless

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

and feeling

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

you're seeing

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

live

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

death and murder and destruction

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

daily

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

in the palms of your hands.

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

These phones, these computers

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

live

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

in real time.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

Chills. Chills. Chills. Chills.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

And you look at the face of a

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

living today person, not a historical story.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

Today.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

And to understand that the Quran is not

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

merely words.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

It's not merely stories.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

It is healing

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

in itself.

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

It is noor. It is light.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

It is the words of Allah

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

himself.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

And when we hear these words, not just

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

with our ears,

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

but with our hearts,

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

there is healing

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

even in the most impossible

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

situation.
