			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.
