00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			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.
