We are,
always
grateful
to Allah
for having
a
and being here at the.
It's enough just for me with that, without
having
to say anything.
But
we ask Allah
to help the Ummah Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
I've had a career of working with people
with problems
and severe
problems.
And,
I'm always reminded
that even though
we're all in the room together,
we're all different.
We're all dealing with different problems.
And
never lose sight of the fact
that the way out
is by the means
by the grace of Allah that he has
given us
in following our messenger, Muhammad
You can look at yourself,
and you may have had all kinds of
things happen to you.
But I have not
found anything
that works except
adhering
to
what the people of knowledge are telling us
to adhere to.
And it's a difficult
task.
You know, it's not easy.
None of these things are easy.
People that have had things happen to them
and all kinds of,
you know, disappointments and things of this nature.
You can get to the point where you
just don't believe hope
is real for you. You don't really think
that
you can ever get out of this hole.
But truly,
I'm a witness
that anyone who
really
trust in Allah and put their faith in
him
and they don't doubt for a minute that
Allah cannot change their situation
in a flash,
then there's nothing but misery if you don't
get that.
If you don't get the fact that Allah
can change your life,
that I don't care what you've been through,
and I've been with people that have been
through some horrible things,
but I'm telling you
the ones who
take it that Allah can change their situation,
those are the ones who make progress.
So, no matter what you think has happened
or what you think you're dealing with,
there's nothing
that Allah
cannot change in our lives.
So, being here
and being around
people
that you
see You know, we don't know what their
lives are but just being with people
that are in a place
where the
you used to call them vibes. You know?
Old people.
But where the energy
is so positive,
that is going to affect your heart.
And so
don't become discouraged.
Don't
think that it can't be you.
It can be you.
You can be one of these scholars.
You can be one of these pious people.
Don't count yourself out.
Don't limit yourself and say, well, I'm only
trying to, you know, get one foot in
the agenda. No. I want the whole thing.
I want everything. Just go
all the way.
Don't allow your own
weaknesses
and your own faults
convince you that you cannot go
to the top.
And this really
is a great hope for all of us
to have this kind of himmah
that Allah can take us there. I can't
do it. I'm weak,
ignorant, and a whole bunch of other things.
But Allah, I've seen them,
take that same person,
Take them all the way up.
So don't think that you can't be 1.
It can be you.
And so we just ask Allah
for his help.
We ask him for his mercy.
We ask him to help us to see
the benefit of following his messenger, Muhammad
and that he keep us away from everything
that brings us down. And we ask Allah's
blessings on his messenger, Muhammad, his descendants, his
companions, and all the righteous.
