00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

continue our theme, the Russo Hyang in Casa Zealandia vikita

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

Billa.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

And we heard the end of the recitation of Surah cough and of

00:01:40 --> 00:01:44

course for Maria many other parts of the Quran surah Ambia. And the

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

funeral Surah, which we have heard, revolves around the most

00:01:47 --> 00:01:52

common trials faced by the faithful people, and Allah

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

proposes certain solutions to those trials and tribulations. The

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

Surah In fact, contains four stories that unveil profound

00:02:00 --> 00:02:05

wisdom and convey tremendous lessons. The first one is a story

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

of the people as Hubbell curve, and it is a story pertaining to

00:02:09 --> 00:02:14

the trial of faith. It centers on the grip of believing young

00:02:14 --> 00:02:18

people, we do not know exactly how many they were, will live around

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

the third century of the Christian era, in a society of corruption,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

led by a tyrannical ruler. Some believe it Gregory key this yes,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

at the time, the Roman king, reading these young people found

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

persecution prevalent, and they were persecuted themselves because

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

of their beliefs. Allah He calls how these youth distanced

00:02:38 --> 00:02:43

themselves from the corruption stood up in protest fell upon the

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

convictions. This is one of the most common trials that people of

00:02:46 --> 00:02:51

faith and people have Christian conviction often face trials of

00:02:51 --> 00:02:56

maltreatment due to beliefs, which can lead to persecution of people

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

because of their faith, which can lead to torture, and even

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

sometimes to death.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

The lesson we learned from this Hubbert curve, the youth of the

00:03:04 --> 00:03:09

cave, is that the quality of faith is not always dependent upon age.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

These were young people.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

Number two, the young people to can be steadfast in their faith.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:20

And number three, we learned that standing up for principle, bonding

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

together, enduring challenges as comrades and principle patient

00:03:24 --> 00:03:30

perseverance helps in overcoming the challenges posed by a corrupt

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

and oppressive system. The second trialing circle curve pertains to

00:03:34 --> 00:03:39

the trial of wealth, depicted in the story of SIBO gelatine a

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

person in an unnamed man who possessed two gardens, and Allah

00:03:43 --> 00:03:48

bless the man was much rough. Yet, all of this wealth only led him to

00:03:48 --> 00:03:53

arrogance into haughtiness. He belittled his much poorer friend

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

who advised him admonished him and saying, be thankful to Allah for

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

what you have so many people don't have what you have, he belittled

00:04:01 --> 00:04:06

the person and when the rich man's cups failed, his income became

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

depleted, and his wealth was lost. When he was in utter desperation,

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15

we learn from the store. If obtaining of at all cost, and by

00:04:15 --> 00:04:20

any means, becomes the primary goal in life, then golf can easily

00:04:20 --> 00:04:25

lead to arrogance to pry to corruption, and to the undermining

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

of other people. Whilst of course has its place, but it's not life

00:04:30 --> 00:04:35

in itself. Wealth may provide the means for survival, but it is not

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

the purpose of our living. We learn that when God is made

00:04:39 --> 00:04:43

available, we must consider that wealth as an Amana is a trust from

00:04:43 --> 00:04:48

Allah and spend it in a way that makes the world a better place for

00:04:48 --> 00:04:53

as many people as possible. The third unique story is a story of

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

Christina Musa Musa Malhotra of Musa alayhis salam and revolves

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

around Musa alayhis salam and

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

The teacher who is not named in the Quran, whom we believe from

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

prophetic tradition refers to credit.

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

And it pertains to the tribe of knowledge. And the lesson derived

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

from this story which is detailed of Musa in his teacher, is that

00:05:15 --> 00:05:20

Lusardi Salam is one of the all of them in the Quran, among the

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

greatest and mightiest of the messengers of Allah. And he goes

00:05:23 --> 00:05:29

in learn from an unmade sage, who teaches you the wisdom of things

00:05:29 --> 00:05:34

that may not be apparent at first glance, not the basic fundamental

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

layer, but a deeper layer of things, which are debates with him

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

through logic, and he responds to Musa with deeper wisdom.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:47

So, what we learned from this is a prophet receives divine guidance

00:05:47 --> 00:05:52

from Allah Himself is prepared to go and learn from someone, then

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

nothing should prevent us to learn from those who are more

00:05:56 --> 00:06:00

knowledgeable than us in a particular field, to recognize

00:06:00 --> 00:06:05

that they exist in a variety of perceptions, different depths of

00:06:05 --> 00:06:10

knowledge, and varying levels of understanding. And three, realize

00:06:10 --> 00:06:16

the importance of humility, as well as patients in pursuing that

00:06:16 --> 00:06:16

knowledge.

00:06:18 --> 00:06:23

The full story potential the trial of power, illustrated in the kissa

00:06:23 --> 00:06:27

of vocalign. The story of glucosamine, historical

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

information at our disposal, at our disposal, is not sufficient to

00:06:31 --> 00:06:36

make any categorical assertion about the exact identification of

00:06:36 --> 00:06:41

who convened really was, will remain was an everyday Moto,

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

entrusted with tremendous power, and an incredible, incredible

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

capacity.

00:06:47 --> 00:06:52

And this incredible capacity and tremendous power brought with it

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

extra ordinary responsibility.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

If we reflect on the incidences which are mentioned in the Surah,

00:06:59 --> 00:07:04

in the Quran, from the life of vocalign, we learn essential

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

lessons in leadership.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:11

And effective leader is an empathic leader who's always

00:07:11 --> 00:07:16

connected to the people. Leaders are only efficient when they have

00:07:16 --> 00:07:21

an efficient strategic plan, and work through a team of dedicated

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

followers. And three true leaders serve the interests of the people

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

by addressing the needs of the people, as the same goes in Arabic

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

Say you will call Cardamone.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

From all of these stories, we learnt lessons, but what's the

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

general lesson of all the four stories? Who are the people of the

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44

cave? And how many were they were they five with a six? The Quran

00:07:45 --> 00:07:50

deliberately does not tell us why? Because it does not matter. Who

00:07:50 --> 00:07:55

exactly is the owner of the two gardens? No one really knows who

00:07:55 --> 00:08:00

exactly was the person we assumed to be hidden? Question mark. And

00:08:00 --> 00:08:06

who precisely is no car lane? No definite answers. You see, it

00:08:06 --> 00:08:10

really doesn't matter so much as to who any of these were in order

00:08:10 --> 00:08:17

to derive the message. And the narratives have to offer. However,

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

some significant role the lessons of each of these and the trials

00:08:22 --> 00:08:27

interfaced, that Allah documents their story, in Surah Kahf, as

00:08:27 --> 00:08:31

part of divine revelation, but without mentioning their names.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

The lesson in that there is no limitation to our innate

00:08:36 --> 00:08:42

potential, and no barriers to our inherent goodness, if we sincerely

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

do what needs to be done, without bothering who gets the credit.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:52

Nonetheless, the point here is not so much on the personalities. The

00:08:52 --> 00:08:57

focus is rather on the lessons we derive from the lived experiences

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

for different periods of history, for stories, highlighting for

00:09:01 --> 00:09:07

trials, major trials in people's lives, trial of faith, trial of

00:09:07 --> 00:09:12

wealth, trial of knowledge, trial of power, trials, if stone faced

00:09:12 --> 00:09:18

today, utilized throughout history, trials are many Life is

00:09:18 --> 00:09:24

short, and that we as people, the best we can with what we have from

00:09:24 --> 00:09:30

where we are ever cognizant of the fact that eventually we will be

00:09:30 --> 00:09:34

held individually accountable by Allah. Aquila. kolyada, was

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

tougher Allah wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

Just wanted to mention many students are writing exams and the

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

parents have
