Sajid Ahmed Umar – The Need To Study Muslim History! – Saheeh Source

			We learn the lesson of counting our blessings.
		

			Counting our blessings.
		

			Allah He we are muslims born Muslims and reverts new Muslims Alhamdulillah but we don't have to go
through
		

			what the Sahaba Radi Allahu Anhu went through what Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went
through? And do you know how you understand a blessing? You understand it
		

			in two ways, firstly, by learning history, and this was what we opened the series with the
importance of studying history, learning the way of the people before, it's very important when the
Sahaba were being persecuted Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam would direct them to the people
that were persecuted before for saying La ilaha illAllah Muhammad for saying La ilaha illallah for
saying there is no one worthy of worship besides one Allah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
would teach them how they were persecuted, a way far more severe than what they were facing history
helps you understand your blessing, sometimes you in a difficulty. But when you look back at
		

			history, you start seeing your difficulty as a blessing in comparison to those before. It's a
blessing, it could have been worse.
		

			So we recognize blessings by studying history.
		

			And this is the Quranic narrative as well, because we know Surah Yusuf, for example, was revealed
during the hardest times after Khadija passed away. After Bhutan, he passed away after he was stoned
apart if salAllahu alayhi wasallam the most difficult of times, and they said lo Castellina. If you
can, perhaps share with us stories. Perhaps Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed the story of use of
		

			to ease the difficulty upon the Sahaba of the Allahu Akbar Jemaine and the Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam that Yusuf alayhi salam and Iacobelli salah they were tested for more than 50
years. Allah knows best, a rough calculation more than 50 years. But they came out on top. So don't
lose hope or believers. It's only five years it's only 10 years. It's only 23 years.
		

			Don't lose hope. Allah in Nasrallah, he Corrib. Indeed the help of ALLAH is near. So we understand
the blessing by firstly studying history.
