Rasul Suluki – The Way Out of Difficult Times

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.
