			comes your way as long as you are
in this world the life for this
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			dunya will not manifest
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			this dunya will not bring forth
except that which is rightly
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:31
			unnecessarily deserving of its
nature. The nature of this dunya
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:36
			is such that it's a place of
trials and tribulations in mammal
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:41
			Junaid Rahim Allah Allah says, and
I'm paraphrasing, it says that
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:46
			my default outlook in this dunya
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:52
			was that of expecting trials and
tribulations. So when good came my
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:58
			way, I found it as a bonus. And
when calamity came my way, my way
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			I expected it and I was ready to
receive it.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			Onuoha cosied
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:10
			palmata and her colleagues were
afraid to have a zero. Let's say
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			this will be life. Your lifespan
in this world is short.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:21
			Its pleasures are restricted and
limited in amount and in degree.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			And what effort to have a zero and
the trials and tribulations are
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			immense.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			This outlook that the IMA are
teaching us
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			as not a pessimistic outlook in
life.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:41
			This outlook in life is not a
pessimistic outlook on life as
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:47
			deeming this dunya for what it is.
It's seeing this dunya for what it
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:52
			is foolish is the person who
expects from something other than
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			that which it can contribute to
produce.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			We expect something from a given
thing when we know this
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			thing is designed for this
purpose, we know that this thing
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			can offer me what I'm looking for.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			So what this ima what these are
ima are teaching us
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			or to look at, to look at this
life, to look at this dunya rather
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			for what it is this dunya was not
meant to be a place of
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:27
			complete comfort and relaxation
and having everything even though
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			by our nature, we aim for that and
we move towards that we always
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			want to be comfortable, we always
want the best that's in our human
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:39
			nature. But psychologically, our
mindset should be such that we are
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			constantly reminding ourselves
that this dunya is a place of
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			trials and tribulations.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			What these are ima are telling us
extrapolated from Quran, Allah
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			subhanaw taala tells us in Quran
when I had the hill higher to
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			dunya Allah Allahu Allah.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			This dunya is not bad. It's not
except
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			a play in amusement.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			How do we know that Allah subhanaw
taala is saying this in the
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			negative sense, in the negative
sense meaning it's amusement its
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:16
			weak, its pleasures, a few How do
we know that? Because the verse
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			continues and Allah Subhana Allah
says we're in the flotilla he'll
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			hire one. And the year after that
is the true life.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			So by Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:35
			juxtaposing this worldly life to
the year after Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:39
			wants us to see the contrast
effect. Right? Yes, pleasure, yes.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			But in relation to what's to come.
It's limited.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			His enjoyment here Yes, but in
relation to what's to come. It's
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:53
			nothing in comparison, and
ultimately, etc. It's a place of
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			trial and tribulation.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			This mindset that our ima
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:06
			teaches us that extracted from
Quran this mindset allows us to
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			receive
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			a difficulty or calamity
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:16
			and maintain your composure to
receive a difficulty and calamity
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			and not pull your hair out to
receive difficulty and calamity
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:24
			and not question Allah subhanaw
taala to receive a difficulty and
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:30
			calamity and human Eman increasing
instead of decreasing this mindset
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:35
			that we have just stated, allows
us to receive trials and
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			tribulations in the most dignified
manner allows us to increase our
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			relationship with Allah subhanaw
taala when trials and tribulations
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:49
			hit, but in no way in no way are
these ima telling us you cannot
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:53
			ask for relief. In no way are
these are telling us the answers.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			You know, you just have to deal
with it.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:03
			And and it's over. There's nothing
else you can do. No. Quran teaches
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:08
			us that ask Allah subhanaw taala
for relief and Allah subhanaw
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			taala will grant you relief. The
point that I in my own mentioning
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15
			the point that they are mentioning
is what how do we receive trials
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:20
			and tribulations and how do we
maintain our Eman? Winters
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			interrelationships, that's what
they are telling us. But Quran be
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			testimony based distant testimony
to the fact that what Allah
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:32
			subhanaw taala encourages us to
ask for relief in Surah Al Ambia.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			Allah subhanaw taala brings an
entire page almost an entire page
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			listing the Gambia in the trials
and tribulations Allah subhanaw
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			taala anuses What are you by
Ethernet the robber who and the
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48
			Messenia What are hamara Hamid
Allah says Nebia you Valley salat
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			wa salam
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			he said Oh ALLAH
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			Haram is afflicted me
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			what untitled humble Raha
meanwhile you are the Most
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			Merciful of those who show mercy.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			First jobina Allahu foccacia flam
behemoth. Allah says so we
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			answered his prayer and we removed
whatever harm there was. So
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			Hanuman, then Allah says at the
end of the verse where the Quran
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			Allah RBD and why did we do this
as a reminder to those believers
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			to those worshippers who come
after
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21
			then Allah doesn't stop there.
Allah brings the next Nabi Allah
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			says, wasn't noon is the header
Manuel
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:29
			wasn't noon the first number you
never use Ali Salam is the hub of
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			all the better when he left his
people in an angry state.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:38
			For one Allen and we know what
happened to Nabil unitarily. salat
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			wa salam, the position he found
himself in, in the belly of a fish
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:47
			in the sea. For one Allah Nakamura
Allah if another physical Almighty
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			Allah, Allah, Allah and super
Hanukkah in new countrymen of
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:55
			aalameen. He called out to Allah
subhanaw taala Oh Allah there is
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			none there is no god but you and I
admit it. I am from amongst the
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			wrongdoers
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			He humbled himself before Allah.
For stage seven Allah, Allah says
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:08
			so we responded to him, right
Allah never left any unanswered.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			So Allah responded to him
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			faster Giovanna Allah who wanna J
Now Homina Lavon. Listen to the
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:19
			salah Subhana Allah says one at J
Now Hoonah l'homme. So we remove
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:24
			the difficulty from him, what can
he can meaning and like that we
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:28
			will remove it from the believers
Subhan Allah then Allah doesn't
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			stop doing and Allah subhanaw
taala says was a carry Yeah. And I
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			mean Zachary
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:39
			is now that was a career if Rob
biller domine founder is wife is
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:43
			better than universal children. He
says you said Allah do not leave
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:48
			me alone in this dunya to not
leave me to pass on and not have a
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			legacy of progeny.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:54
			Allah subhanaw taala says foster
Giovanna what will happen Allah
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			Who Yeah, and we granted him Yeah.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:02
			So Allah subhanaw taala lists
numerous situations where Allah
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06
			subhanaw taala answered the door
as of the MBI that we experiencing
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:06
			difficulty.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:11
			But how do we ensure that the
difficulty we are facing?
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			Allah subhanaw taala will answer
how to ask because obviously many
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			of us we have already made to for
whatever we are facing various
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			difficulties we've already made.
Many of us are probably thinking
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			with the help. Right?
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:32
			So Allah Subhana Allah guarantees,
we all we cannot disbelieve in one
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			half of the Quran.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:38
			Right? We cannot disbelieve in one
half, Allah subhanaw taala saying
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			whatever you can, meaning, like we
save the Gambia, from the
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			difficulties and economics and the
trials and tribulations can barely
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:49
			can mean like that we will save
the believers. If we claim that we
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			believe in the Quran, we need to
have certainty that Allah subhanaw
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			taala will remove out difficulty,
right? But Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00
			didn't in the verse yet. Allah
subhanaw taala at the end of
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04
			listing, numerous Ambia, the
trials and tribulations and the
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:09
			moment of relief, the moment Allah
subhanaw taala granting granted
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:13
			them relief, often listing all of
these Ambia Allah brings the
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			characteristics. So what does
Allah subhanaw taala say? Allah
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			says in the home, can you set your
own I feel for you, Rod, we want
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			others to be answered, we need to
have the characteristics of this.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:28
			A friend of mine would always say,
if we want to obey God,
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			we need to do what they did.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:37
			If we want, if or other uses the
other way around, if we do what
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			they did, we'll get what they got.
Same thing.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:45
			If we do what they did, will get
what they got. If we are asking in
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:49
			the door has not yet answered,
check myself, Cigna, Amara delta
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			and I know he used to say, let
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:57
			me know how many job I can. I
mean, I'm not I don't concern
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:01
			myself with the answering of the
DUA. That's Allah's joke. I
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:05
			concern myself with the DUA
itself. So if I've made How is my
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:10
			dua, how's my life often before he
stole synonymous, he questioned
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			himself when the dua was an answer
because Allah guarantees
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			acceptance of the DUA. So Allah
subhanaw taala brings the
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			characteristics of these Ambia
What does Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:24
			says in a home can we You said you
are wonderful Pharaoh, this is the
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			first characteristic they would
hasten towards good
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			in the home can we you said your
own I feel Herat wire their own
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:39
			Raja Babu Raha and they would call
unto me rubble desires that they
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:45
			do, will be answered hopeful that
they will be answered optimistic
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:49
			that they do I will be answered
while Rafa and fearful of ALLAH
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:53
			SubhanA wa Raha but we're all
happy and fearful of Allah
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:57
			subhanaw taala worker Newland
Hershey in Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			mentions four characteristics. The
last one is what can we learn a
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
			Hershey and that will humble
before Allah subhanaw taala they
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			were humble before Allah subhanaw
taala icon Christian Allah.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			Where did the sense of entitlement
come from?
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			Allah doesn't owe us anything. We
did the sense of entitlement
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			company why is this happening? No,
not once. What is Allah subhanaw
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			taala one from me in this
situation? How should my response
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:25
			be because Allah is guaranteed
acceptance of the others guarantee
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:29
			that you will remove the calamity.
calamities only coming to shape me
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			in a certain way. So Allah
subhanaw taala says in the home
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			candle you set your own number
one, they would hasten towards
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			good. You said you're gonna feel
that way I don't wanna they would
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:44
			call Unto Allah Allah Allah what
I'll have a hopeful in Allah
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			subhanaw taala and fearful of
Allah subhanaw taala and the same
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:51
			at the same time. What can we
learn a Hershey I mean, and they
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			were humble before Allah subhanaw
taala the head for sure in
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			relation to Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			this is one thing that is not
explicit.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			He mentioned in this verse, but
implicitly given the entire
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			context of all the verses, we see
what? And this is, for me the
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:12
			utmost important. This is for me
the most important part of this
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:12
			entire
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:18
			recipe for you to ask to be
accepted at the time of calamity.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			And what's that?
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:24
			That is the context in which the
Gambia and amo salat wa salam is
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			praying to Allah subhanaw taala
What is this what what is the
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:33
			context? What is the time? What
was this? What was the, what was
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			the situation like, when they
asked Allah subhanaw taala?
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			fullish is the person who thinks
that something briefly hit you?
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			And then he might wonder if that
has answered.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			What we notice in all of the
scenarios that Allah subhanaw
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:53
			taala CITES is that at the worst
point, at the worst possible
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:57
			point, in the tribulation, they
called Unto Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:02
			We're not saying delay the DA, we
saying that we are all going
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:06
			through various things. And there
are days where I feel like I can
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:10
			cope. And I can mask the
difficulty with a smile. And there
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:14
			are days that I feel that I cannot
cook. That day that I feel that I
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			cannot cope. That's the crucial
time. That's actually the time
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:21
			Allah subhanaw taala will accept
depending on my reaction, what
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:26
			happens is often our Spirituality
drops on the worst day and we tend
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:31
			not to make the on that day. The
MBR Naima salat wa salam, the DUA
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			that we just mentioned, or all of
the other ayah that we just
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:39
			mentioned, of them, BIA was at the
lowest moment in the suffering,
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			that in that lowest moment, they
still called Unto Allah subhanaw
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			taala. And it's that lowest moment
that Allah subhanaw taala accepted
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			the DUA.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:50
			So
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:55
			what is the IMA teaching us
initially? What we mentioned
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:55
			initially,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:01
			is how to receive these trials and
tribulations and I deem the dunya
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			for what it is don't give them any
more credit than it deserves. deem
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:09
			the dunya for what it is, life is
short pleasures a few tribulations
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			are inevitable.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:16
			So receive the tribulations as if
you were expecting it. Maintain
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			your honor, maintain your dignity,
don't pull your hair out, turn to
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			Allah subhanaw taala. When you can
manage and when you cannot manage
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:28
			and Allah Subhana Allah says
whatever Lika LUNA mini was a
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			Corolla Lim RBD we are mentioning
these situations Allah says as a
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:35
			reminder to the believers we are
mentioning these situations Allah
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:39
			Subhana Allah says, because we
will ninja meaning we will save
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			the believers from the respective
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			difficulties that they are going
through. Just like we save the
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51
			Gambia. It's for us to Anton
Muslimeen to ensure that we have
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:55
			the proper characteristics that we
are reacting in the correct way.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			Adorning ourselves with the
characteristics of the Gambia,
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			Lima salat wa salam adorn them
with Hastening towards good,
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:05
			calling on to Allah subhanaw taala
being fearful of Allah subhanaw
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09
			taala being humble before Allah
subhanaw taala at that time of
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:13
			submissiveness irrespective how
I'm feeling how long I've been
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			praying, we ensure that we tend to
Allah subhanaw taala and Allah
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:20
			subhanaw taala will guarantee
acceptance may Allah subhanaw
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:24
			taala deliver difficulties. May
Allah subhanaw taala make that
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:28
			that moment and I'm making this up
but someone bear testimony to this
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:32
			he said that moment of acceptance
of the waiting for Allah subhanaw
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:37
			taala to accept that moment of
acceptance is the sweetest moment.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			That moment of acceptance is the
sweetest man because you've been
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			relying on Allah, you've been
going through so much difficulty,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:48
			the minute Allah subhanaw taala
relieves this difficulty. This is
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:53
			meaning in this dunya but also in
a spiritual sense that relieves
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:53
			you
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			relieves your heart. Right? And
that you have seen that Allah
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			subhanaw taala is answered you as
members were hunted to Allah
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			protect and guide
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:13
			us Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
Janata Muslim in which chakra
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
