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