Shadee Elmasry – Is Your Job Blocking Your Dua

How do we get our dua answered? The first precondition is rectify

your wealth. why did why is it that food and wealth

and clothes is a prerequisite to this and

it doesn't necessarily the food you eat and the dot you make what

is the connection here? The connection is that the food you

eat results from the wealth that you earn. The wealth you earn is

what you do every single day all day, right? You wake up in the

morning, where's the first place you had? You had to work and you

spent all day and the bulk of your energy is spent at work. And how

many days do you go to work every day? Five days a week, 50 weeks a

year. So you disobey Allah all that time. You are in constant

nonstop disobedience of Allah. So the morsel of food that is haram

is a result of somebody who devotes his life to disobeying

Allah. That's why your earning is the precondition of your day. How

are you going to come and ask me a question when you bother me every

day? All day you wake up plotting against my plans, I have plans and

you all day work against my plans. You have the nerve now to ask me a

question. No matter how desperate you look, the prophets of Allah

who it was said them said, rubbish.

Perhaps there is a man imagine there is a man know dusty and

disheveled muck through the minute have wept rejected by people Are

you still feeling bad for him? He has nobody but Allah raffia only a

day he lifts his hands up in a summer not here. If he had dropped

like saving him was what we talked about this is called Draw an empty

*. This is a good draw. This is absolute desperation.

Here cool we are up here up.

The Prophet here has listed four reasons why your dog would be

answered.

Here dusty and disheveled. That means I'm a traveler I'm away I'm

poor. Here look pitiful. You look someone would have sympathy for

you. rejected from people's homes, more sympathy for you. You're

rejected. You put your hands up that is one of the reasons Allah

subhanaw taala because you put your hands up and another reason

that Allah accepts your dog is you call you say yada yada and Allah

loves to hear his slave say yada yada.

And still his door is not answered why? After all the reasons for

draw are there.

Will not go to haram will my Bestival haram will go here Bill

haram for an Easter Jubilee Dalek

prophets I said them then said his clothes is haram he is nourished

from haram. His wealth is haram. How is he going to receive an

answer? When he says his wealth is haram? His food is haram that

doesn't mean he accidentally ate pork. It means his job.

The way he earns his money. Every day he wakes up disobeyed Allah

until the evening, wakes up the next day disobeyed Allah until the

evening. So you have to make sure your job is held on what is what,

what is the meaning of your job is had a means the essence of the job

is hella it doesn't mean that sometimes something haram comes up

the essence of the job to give an example. I work out a grocer as an

example.

Working at a grocers Hello.

One day out of 100, the grocer says to me, Hey, I need you to

leave off forget the fruits and vegetables. I need you to go get

that shipment of pork and put it

on the shelves. Because your colleague is not here to that you

need to do that job. So that is a job essentially tell him I'm just

working in fruits and vegetables. That request is haram. So you can

keep that job but just don't do what is haram. You just don't do

that portion of it.

That's the portion you don't do. In contrast, a liquor store. The

entire essence of the business is haram. The essence of the this

business this transaction is haram is the Hey,

you're an electrician, right? Could you change the light bulb

for me here? Go up there and change this big light bulb. I

don't want you to touch the wine. Just change the light bulb. You

can't do that.

Why you're contributing to something the essence of it is

forbidden. So you have to understand that's the nature of

choosing a job. You don't choose a job or not based on what may

happen. You choose on the essence of the job.

A nurse

Hello. But the moment they ask you to shut the door with another guy,

that moment you have to not have you have to avoid that as much as

you can.

Now what happens if I if I don't avoid it?

Then you give some sadaqa make us too far make Toba but you also

have a brain, you have a tongue, you can talk, you go and tell the

boss I can't continue to do this. This was one time thing. When it

happened, I can't do it again. If you don't do that, then you get a

problem. And he says no, no, no, it's just part of your job

description.

Every Tuesday you're on porque

tinius Alka now I can't do this job.

Okay, you go to the nurse's station.

I know I knew a guy who said he's training to be a misuse.

Massage therapy for like people who are injured and things like

that.

So he said like, when Where do you work? He said I work in like one

of these places that they give physical therapy. I said so 19

year old girl with a groin injury during the job.

Is that started cracking up? But how could you not ask this

question of a massage therapists for injured athletes? There are no

70 year old athletes.

Every athlete is nice and physically fit. Okay, every

athlete is young. Okay, who are you massaging?

Yay.

What body part is injured? Most athletics happens with legs and

thighs and calves. What are you touching all day and all night

like this? You better make your job

or else your job your job is not going to be answered.
