Brothers and sisters.

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

May Allah

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

bless us with the best in this world

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

and the next.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

In this video, I'll be sharing an amazing

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

story about Umrah

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

and how Allah

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

relieved the person from distress that they themselves

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

thought would never be resolved.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

The story that I'm about to share

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

is actually narrated by Sheikh Mohammed Muhtar Shankiti,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

one of the greatest scholars

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

of our time. Someone who is known for

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

his piety

00:00:46 --> 00:00:46

and his knowledge.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

So he says,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

I swear by Allah

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

that I haven't come across a person who

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

is in distress, and I can't even count

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

how many people have come to me,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

usually coming to me with a problem that

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

has no solution.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

And I would tell them, why don't you

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

complain to Allah

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

Go for Ummah

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

and complain to Allah

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

And he swears by Allah and he says

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

even in situations

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

where the people themselves did not believe that

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

there was any solution,

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

except that their problems will be resolved in

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

a way that they never imagined.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

And each and every one of them would

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

come to him

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

with pleasure telling him that how Allah

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

relieved them from this distress,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

How he caused the problem to be solved.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

And he says a man who was a

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

family friend of his father came to him

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

and was complaining to him about his daughter

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

and her husband.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

Her husband was abusing her.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

And her husband was also a family friend

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

of the sheikh. And the sheikh was shot

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

that if he interferes in this matter, it

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

could ruin the relationship of his father with

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

these individuals.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

So he tells him,

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

and you can only imagine how a father

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

would feel when their daughter is in that

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

situation, that they have they're helpless. They can't

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

do anything for them. The sheikh said I'll

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

give you a choice between two matters.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

Either I interfere in the matter, I'll give

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

you something that's better than that.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

So he said, okay. What's what's better than

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

that, than you getting involved?

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

So he said

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

that go for umrah

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

and complain to Allah

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

about your matter.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

So he said, really? That's that's that's what

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

you have for me?

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

So he said, yes. You know, I'm I'm

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

somebody I'm weak.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

I'm a poor slave. I can't do anything.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

Go complain to Allah

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

the one who controls everything.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

So he went with his wife for umrah

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

on a Thursday night.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

And when they got to the hotel, they

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

put their stuff and they went for umrah.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

So at that time, there was no cell

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

phone. So at the reception, he called his

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

daughter. He had another daughter who was staying

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

in Medina at their house,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

and he told her that this is where

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

we're staying. This is our number. If you

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

need anything, you know, give us a call.

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

And the father is

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

he's going through severe anxiety.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

There's lot of distress

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

being in this situation, unable to help his

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

daughter.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

So they went and they made umrah,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

and they finished before

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

and they prayed fajr, and Allah

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

opened their hearts, Even though they were tired,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

they continued until

00:03:23 --> 00:03:23

sunrise.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

And when Allah

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

makes a person taste the sweetness of worship,

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

they never get bored no matter how tired

00:03:31 --> 00:03:31

they are.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

So he stayed till sunrise and then he

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

goes back to the hotel. And when he

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

gets into the hotel,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

someone asked him, are you so and so?

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

So he told him, yes. What's the matter?

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

He said, some lady has been calling, and

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

she's drying us nuts.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

The father thought it's his daughter that's in

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

Medina that they left at home

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

calling about something that might have happened. So

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

he got worried. So he called her.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

He asked her, did you call? She said,

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

no. I never called, but I gave the

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

number of the hotel

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

to the other daughter,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

the one who was married to the abusive

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

husband.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

So now you can imagine once again these

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

feelings coming up again,

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

anxiety and stress and agony,

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

that she's calling once again to complain about

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

another incident that happened. And so he calls

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

her, and when she answers, she says, I

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

don't believe it. I don't know if I'm

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

dreaming or this is real.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

So he inquires, what happened? Tell me what

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

happened? She's like, I don't believe it. I

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

don't believe it. And then she says,

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

my husband came before

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

salatul fajr crying to me,

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

crying to me saying, 'Please forgive me, forgive

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

me. I don't deserve you. You're so much

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

better than me. Please forgive me.'

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

She couldn't believe what happened.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

And this happened because he went and he

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

complained to Allah

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

The Lord of Everything,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

the turner of hearts is the one who

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

turned this man's heart.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

This person comes from status, from a wealthy

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

family, he has status in the community.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

Nothing could have forced him to come and

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

apologize to his wife, but it was Allah

00:05:02 --> 00:05:03

who changed his heart.

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

And the sheikh says that many times he

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

tells people that call upon Allah

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

as if you are standing in front of

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

Allah

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

Just like you're complaining to me, just like

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

that with that same emotion, go and complain

00:05:17 --> 00:05:17

to Allah

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

So even though this story is about Umrah,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

but Allah

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

answers the du'a all the time, And we

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

need to complain to Allah

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

in the same manner. So we need to

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

bring that same intensity, that same emotion when

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

asking Allah

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

and to know that he is the King

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

of Kings, that when he says he will

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

answer us, he will definitely answer. When Allah

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us that he will

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

do something, that we should be certain that

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

he is gonna fulfill his promise. So today's

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

exercise is

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

that when we make dua to Allah subhanahu

00:05:50 --> 00:05:50

wa ta'ala,

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

we should call upon him as if we're

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

standing right in front of him,

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

being fully present, knowing that Allah

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

can answer all duas,

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

and to have that

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

emotion,

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

that intensity behind our dua, to be consistent

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

in our dua, and to be certain that

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

Allah

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

will accept our

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14

dua. So to apply these

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

principles when we're calling upon Allah

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

being fully present,

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

consistent in our dua, Allah

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

loves to be asked

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

and to be certain in the response from

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

Allah

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

And also for those who speak the Arabic

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

language, the original clip, I'll be posting the

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

link of that in the description below. And

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

even if you don't speak Arabic, the clip

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

itself has subtitles so you can go check

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

it out. The sheikh mentions other benefits as

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

well and other stories as well. So check

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

it out if you'd like to benefit more.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

Until next time.
