Brothers and sisters.
May Allah
bless us with the best in this world
and the next.
In this video, I'll be sharing an amazing
story about Umrah
and how Allah
relieved the person from distress that they themselves
thought would never be resolved.
The story that I'm about to share
is actually narrated by Sheikh Mohammed Muhtar Shankiti,
one of the greatest scholars
of our time. Someone who is known for
his piety
and his knowledge.
So he says,
I swear by Allah
that I haven't come across a person who
is in distress, and I can't even count
how many people have come to me,
usually coming to me with a problem that
has no solution.
And I would tell them, why don't you
complain to Allah
Go for Ummah
and complain to Allah
And he swears by Allah and he says
even in situations
where the people themselves did not believe that
there was any solution,
except that their problems will be resolved in
a way that they never imagined.
And each and every one of them would
come to him
with pleasure telling him that how Allah
relieved them from this distress,
How he caused the problem to be solved.
And he says a man who was a
family friend of his father came to him
and was complaining to him about his daughter
and her husband.
Her husband was abusing her.
And her husband was also a family friend
of the sheikh. And the sheikh was shot
that if he interferes in this matter, it
could ruin the relationship of his father with
these individuals.
So he tells him,
and you can only imagine how a father
would feel when their daughter is in that
situation, that they have they're helpless. They can't
do anything for them. The sheikh said I'll
give you a choice between two matters.
Either I interfere in the matter, I'll give
you something that's better than that.
So he said, okay. What's what's better than
that, than you getting involved?
So he said
that go for umrah
and complain to Allah
about your matter.
So he said, really? That's that's that's what
you have for me?
So he said, yes. You know, I'm I'm
somebody I'm weak.
I'm a poor slave. I can't do anything.
Go complain to Allah
the one who controls everything.
So he went with his wife for umrah
on a Thursday night.
And when they got to the hotel, they
put their stuff and they went for umrah.
So at that time, there was no cell
phone. So at the reception, he called his
daughter. He had another daughter who was staying
in Medina at their house,
and he told her that this is where
we're staying. This is our number. If you
need anything, you know, give us a call.
And the father is
he's going through severe anxiety.
There's lot of distress
being in this situation, unable to help his
daughter.
So they went and they made umrah,
and they finished before
and they prayed fajr, and Allah
opened their hearts, Even though they were tired,
they continued until
sunrise.
And when Allah
makes a person taste the sweetness of worship,
they never get bored no matter how tired
they are.
So he stayed till sunrise and then he
goes back to the hotel. And when he
gets into the hotel,
someone asked him, are you so and so?
So he told him, yes. What's the matter?
He said, some lady has been calling, and
she's drying us nuts.
The father thought it's his daughter that's in
Medina that they left at home
calling about something that might have happened. So
he got worried. So he called her.
He asked her, did you call? She said,
no. I never called, but I gave the
number of the hotel
to the other daughter,
the one who was married to the abusive
husband.
So now you can imagine once again these
feelings coming up again,
anxiety and stress and agony,
that she's calling once again to complain about
another incident that happened. And so he calls
her, and when she answers, she says, I
don't believe it. I don't know if I'm
dreaming or this is real.
So he inquires, what happened? Tell me what
happened? She's like, I don't believe it. I
don't believe it. And then she says,
my husband came before
salatul fajr crying to me,
crying to me saying, 'Please forgive me, forgive
me. I don't deserve you. You're so much
better than me. Please forgive me.'
She couldn't believe what happened.
And this happened because he went and he
complained to Allah
The Lord of Everything,
the turner of hearts is the one who
turned this man's heart.
This person comes from status, from a wealthy
family, he has status in the community.
Nothing could have forced him to come and
apologize to his wife, but it was Allah
who changed his heart.
And the sheikh says that many times he
tells people that call upon Allah
as if you are standing in front of
Allah
Just like you're complaining to me, just like
that with that same emotion, go and complain
to Allah
So even though this story is about Umrah,
but Allah
answers the du'a all the time, And we
need to complain to Allah
in the same manner. So we need to
bring that same intensity, that same emotion when
asking Allah
and to know that he is the King
of Kings, that when he says he will
answer us, he will definitely answer. When Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us that he will
do something, that we should be certain that
he is gonna fulfill his promise. So today's
exercise is
that when we make dua to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala,
we should call upon him as if we're
standing right in front of him,
being fully present, knowing that Allah
can answer all duas,
and to have that
emotion,
that intensity behind our dua, to be consistent
in our dua, and to be certain that
Allah
will accept our
dua. So to apply these
principles when we're calling upon Allah
being fully present,
consistent in our dua, Allah
loves to be asked
and to be certain in the response from
Allah
And also for those who speak the Arabic
language, the original clip, I'll be posting the
link of that in the description below. And
even if you don't speak Arabic, the clip
itself has subtitles so you can go check
it out. The sheikh mentions other benefits as
well and other stories as well. So check
it out if you'd like to benefit more.
Until next time.
