AI: Summary ©
So when we're talking about the trials of Prophets, we eventually
have to talk about the chain of transmission from prophet hood all
the way to us. And that chain consists of scholars. So the most
trials does not mean the most dressed. He has the greatest of
trials. So how do we put this to do how does this make any sense?
How you the greatest of trials, and the least of stress, the
intensity of the.is What brings out forgiveness people make dua
and their drives never answered. It's because they're flinging
trying to fling an arrow in the sky, and they're not pulling the
thread hard enough. The ASVAB have no role whatsoever in transforming
you in bringing in any effect zero, but it's necessary.
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam
ala Rasulillah who Allah He was a happy woman Willa Allahumma salli
wa salam ala Sayidina Muhammad Indra fecha Halima Welcome to
minimal Sabha Consulate. hockeyville hawk. Well, the era of
sirotkin Musa team sallallahu alayhi wa to add he was talking we
have to cut the name of daddy and I'll leave about
the title of trials of prophet hood is extremely important. And
via the way they get tested,
and the way they react to those tests and basically is an
education for us. Now a lot of people they know the famous Hadith
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said I should do Nursey,
Bella and Ambia to Medina, yo, Luna homophone Maya Lilina, yo
Luna home, the most tested of all people, the most Bella that pours
down on people is the prophets more than anybody else, then those
after them in piety, and knowledge and Amen. And then those after the
impiety should never be separated from knowledge.
The vast majority
of the most pious are also the most knowledgeable. This is why
Allah says in the match, Allah has been a bad deal.
Basically, Allah says, when the when the pious are presented
before the before him, essentially saying they're all scholars,
essentially, they're all scholars. in them. This is how, like
limited, rarely, rarely, you will see somebody who has reached a
level of kusha without first obtaining the level of knowledge.
So you got to learn you have to become educated. Now, how do you
become educated, nobody's self educated in any field in life.
There's no electrician, electrician, who just puts up the
lights. And nobody knows his name. Nobody cares about him, nobody,
you pay him and you'll never see him again. He just put up your
lights, he they have to actually
become basically disciples of another electrician for five
years.
We don't even care about the name an electrician,
because it's so important.
Now, the people who sit up here and talk to you about your Acura,
their bill is infinitely more important
than merely an electrician. So you cannot be somebody who gains
knowledge without first being mentored, being taught Sitting at
the feet of those who learned and being submissive to them.
Submissive is the word you have to believe in them. First, you got to
ask yourself, is this person person worthy of following? Do I
believe that they understand the Quran and the Sunnah better than
me?
Do they understand it properly, have others vouched for them that
they understand it properly.
That's how you know somebody is worthy of following will shake so
and so and so and so and so and they're all vouch for him? How do
they vouch for him? Well, we see them at meetings together. They
invite each other they are always together. That is a vouching
not an accidental meeting. No, regularly. They're always together
at events. They're always referring to each other. That's
them vouching for one another. That's where you start to trust.
Secondly, you do have knowledge not everything in Islam needs to
be studied. There's no baroody And another Adam Barbary, you don't
need to study? Does anyone need to study that we follow the Prophet?
Does anyone need to study that we fasted Ramadan? Does anyone need
to study that the Quran is preserved all these things?
There's the Rudy knowledge based upon that. You can make your
assessment so you're not a complete bear slate.
Once you take on somebody like that, now you're treading the path
of Prophethood because that person had to sit at the feet of somebody
who had to sit at the feet of somebody. So when we're talking
about the trials of Prophets, we're eventually have to talk
about
The chain of transmission from prophethood all the way to us. And
that chain consists of scholars.
We should never separate between the pious and between the scholars
because Allah never separated him in the area of Akasha.
In the maxilla him in a bed did Allah
Medaka Metallica de la humulene Jaya hindwing aka the WHO Allama.
Let me tell you a story about one of the greats Abdul Wahab shot ani
of Egypt. He was the Maliki scholar and Kira has had a
university that allows her Jemelle has her
there was
around one of the walls of the mosque off on the street, like in
the sidewalk, almost. There was a chef who was not a scholar, but he
was very learned in another way, in the path of Allah subhanaw
taala.
But he didn't have knowledge of fatwah he couldn't give that to
her. In fifth, he was very simple and fifth, but in knowledge of
Allah, which you couldn't tell. He was a great scout. But he used to
live with the simple people and teach them prayers and they used
to recite their prayers.
Every day, Abdullah have a shot on he would shake his head in
disapproval, thinking imagining the only knowledge is the law was
not the only knowledge is very important knowledge.
And he used to say to him, Metallica, the LogMeIn, William
judge, Allah has not taken over Lee who's ignorant, like you don't
know Phil.
So, he kept saying this and he kept saying this and he kept
saying this.
Until Allah subhana wa Tada
something magic happens
that day, the night before.
There, I have a shot on he was married to a young girl, she was
silly.
He was a young scholar. And he had a young wife. She was like a silly
girl, sometimes. Not every woman is serious. Some women are silly.
Okay.
Testimony to operate witnesses.
I have two daughters. One is very serious. One is very silly. So I
can say this. So his wife was silly. And he wants and he had a
baby. And he was taking his baby around the house like a horse
playing horse. He was his baby on all fours. Good.
Then she said, hey, it's my turn. And she rides on him. And he wrote
around with his wife.
Right? This happened in the privacy of their own home.
Well, next day he goes, and he looks down at this man. And he
says McDonough Lahoma. What he enjoyed Allah does not take an
ignorant man as a Willie.
Okay?
And he looks up to him and he says, shut your mouth you donkey
of Xena.
How did he know that?
Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said 146 of
prophecy remains amongst you.
And that is the true dream. So Allah to Allah can show you the
affairs of the of a man humiliating you every single day
and saying, Allah doesn't take away he who's ignorant, Allah
doesn't take away he was ignorant. Okay, you're gonna embarrass him?
How do you know Allah doesn't have his back. And Allah therefore
exposed you out there who have a shot on eat, nobody knew this.
Nobody knows his wife's name. Out there, we'll have a shot on he
then he stops and he sits down.
And then he becomes his student. And he understands that the
knowledge is the knowledge of the outward law and the inward path to
Allah subhanaw taala. So if we're talking about the trials of
prophethood, the premise here is to be on the path of Prophethood
that is the path of Prophet it is a path of knowledge and a bed.
Now, people talk about the trials of this hadith and they get
afraid. They said, Oh, maybe I don't want to have so much Taqwa.
I don't want to go this path because I don't want to be tested.
I'm afraid to be tested. Right? This thought comes upon people's
minds. Now you have to
complete the matter because that one Hadith is a partial truth.
It's not the full truth.
The full Truth comes in other Hadith, like what
the Prophet sallallahu today he was described as the happiest of
people, and the least in white hairs.
And the flattest of stomachs.
So how is the prophet maintaining this health, maintaining this
happiness at 63 He didn't have wrinkles on his face and he didn't
have any white hairs.
So that
for his stress is low.
Why do people gain a lot of weight at certain points in life, they
stress eat. They come home at night, there's so much on their
mind. They're really not that happy. The only thing that made me
make them happy is some food. Right? This is called stress
eating. People do this all the time.
You don't do this when you're young because you don't have
stress.
I laugh when a young person says I'm stressed. What? I mean, if you
got normal circumstances you haven't seen you don't know what's
coming. If you think you're stressed. At way you lost your
parents
know what parents are alive. Okay. He wants to like, know, I got all
my limbs. I got my eyes. What are you stressed about? You don't pay
your mortgage. Your parents your dad pays it. What are you stressed
about? Right? Anyway, you'll see when you grow up. There are things
that are stressors in life. And people stress eat, they start
turning white, and they start getting Why did wrinkles happen?
Oftentimes, because your face is contorted with stress. So the
prophets I send them has none of the attributes of someone who's
stressed. And he's described as the happiest of people as as Hulk.
So the most trials does not mean the most stressed.
He has the greatest of trials. So how do we put this to do how does
this make any sense? How are you the greatest of trials and the
least of stress? How can you be in the worst hurricane and be the
driest person?
Simple answer. You got a strong roof.
That's what we have to talk about. When we talk about the
understanding of the trials of prophethood. They had the worst
trials.
The worst rain, they're the driest people.
It's because they have the strongest roof.
The ultimate number one pillar. Now this roof is contains pillars
and beams. The number one pillar that everyone has to keep in mind
with every trial and tribulation is the saying of Satan the Musa in
here in LA fitna. Touka to the Luba mentorship with a DBA
mentorship. Many people worry about this.
It says that the bene is rotten.
We know that they worship the golden calf, then they got
punished for that. Then they had to go make repentance. Then they
went up to the mountain at the mountain. They're supposed to
repent. The leaders 70 leaders were supposed to spend the whole
day with Musa SNM couple days worshiping Allah repenting
for what they had done worshipping the golden calf, okay.
While they're there, Satan Musa advanced a little bit up Mount
Sinai.
As he begins his a bad and his recitation, a cloud descends upon
Him. And they watch their reciting. And they're watching and
they hear His voice. They're following the reciting the Torah
with him. All of a sudden they see these lights, these beautiful
lights flashing back and forth, back and forth.
They took a break
in the middle of this
while he's reciting. And this beautiful lights, one of them
shouts out in the middle of the recitation.
Let us see Allah Himself.
Now, we just had a brother reciting here like I'm the boss
it. Imagine if someone shouts out in the middle, the recitation you
break the mood. That's this here
in Texas, not Mount Sinai.
Not with a prophet. They why you break his recitation and you ask
an absurd question.
An absurd question. Let us see Allah, you're lucky you are alive.
You're seeking forgiveness. Why are you asking questions? Do you
just worship the golden calf? Now you're coming to seek forgiveness?
And you're asking for a MACOM a level, even your Prophet never
asked for that.
They'd say no Musa alayhis salam. He said, Oh Allah, they're saying
they want to see you.
They then he then said to them, then let them look up. As soon as
they looked at agility came down. They couldn't handle it. They
dropped it. 70 people 70 leaders jumped in.
Now prophet Musa,
he is not on great terms with this people. You have to understand
this. Well, nobody is.
He's not on good terms with those people.
They just he just had to have an execution amongst them. Many of
them were executed.
Okay, you know the story of their execution
they all worship the golden calf except for very few people, what
is the punishment of apostasy?
Execution that was the log given to Musa.
So when he came down, and a bunch of them worship the golden calf,
some were hanging out next to it. Some were not worshiping it's a
mixed group.
How do we rule? And how do we execute our own people? Like, son
executes father, that's cool.
I execute a guy and then his son is my friend. It's not gonna work.
St. Jude comes down, oh Musa.
wake everybody up in the last portion of the night, when it's
pitch black.
Both sides are to be given daggers.
You stand up on a hill.
And you announce to them to go and attack one another.
Meanwhile, you keep your hands raised up like this, not draw it
like this up like this.
Begging Allah to Allah for His mercy,
and his forgiveness.
In this way, they're going to all injure each other.
But nobody's going to know who injured who
it's going to be done in the dark.
Next morning, no one knows who injured who That's your
punishment.
Some will die, some will be injured. What happens? Whatever
happens happens, everyone, because some of you were there. And you
didn't stop it. You're guilty?
Yeah, if I see someone come and bring a Buddha right here, and we
all sit here and continue to give him the talk, who's guilty. Every
single one of us, us, the guy who brought the Buddha are all of us,
all of us. Right? Someone comes here and starts beating a child.
And we sit here continue giving the talk who's guilty, all of us
are guilty.
So they're all guilty.
And they come and the wisdom the key. Prophet Musa keeps it has to
keep his hands up because hands are gonna get tired, the more
tired he is hands gets, the more intense his drop will be, and that
will bring down the forgiveness.
The intensity of the DA is what brings down forgiveness people
make dua and their dogs never answered.
It's because they're flinging trying to fling an arrow in the
sky, and they're not pulling the thread hard enough. If you made a
lot of dua, and your dog never gets answered, okay, you're not
pulling hard enough. Your dog is come on up like this. It's a it's
a week to
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said if you want your dog
answered, ask with desperation, desperation.
Okay. And they use the example of the child. There are some kids,
they get so emotionally attached to something, okay? When they ask
for it, they don't stop and they asked with great intensity that
the parent has to give into it. And there are other children who
are afraid to talk to their parents. Usually the first child,
he's timid, he's afraid to ask, okay, so he doesn't get anything.
Then you have usually the last child.
He's very emotional about asking about getting something he gets
it.
And the first child says, grows up and says he got everything I did
it. He asked. That's the difference. What is the difference
between some people live a great life of deen and duniya. And
marriage and children and wealth and health? And other people
don't? There's probably only one reason one asked and the other.
One believed Allah's generous Ask, ask intent with intention. Ask
with intensity with desperation you receive, the other one didn't
ask, so he's not going to receive anything. That's how simple it is.
So simple it is. So Satan, the most intensely asked,
and then the punishment stopped. And then everyone went home,
limped home, injured, some dead, some alive, some who knows what
happened to them. So they were already in pain and suffering
because of what happened you want to see a tribulation this is the
this is the origin now the history of why Prophet Musa said in here
elephants in Africa too little we have been sheltered.
So now after this,
Allah tells Satana Musa, you have to take 70 members of your tribe
of the leaders 70 leaders of the tribe. That means about five
leaders per tribe. There's 12 tribes of Israel.
So you take 70 So about five, four to six from each tribe of the
elders.
and they have to go with you up to the mountain and they have to
worship Allah for some period of time, their hearts will become
pure, their hearts will become clean, their hearts have become
filled with light, they go back to their people and they spread that.
That's the idea, then Allah loves them again.
Because the love of Allah to Allah is not something that's
guaranteed.
Unlike Christianity, we don't say God loves everybody. Clearly, the
Quran does not say that. There are seven categories in which Allah
says he loves and seven categories he says he does not love.
If you do the love of Allah to Allah is something you can turn on
and off.
You have to earn it. What we say is God has mercy with everybody.
A murderer while he's murdering us you're not breathing, is you're
not enjoying the sun, is you're not eating food is you're not
sleeping. That's mercy. Right? So that's the mercy that allows for
everybody does not love everybody, anybody that says to me, God loves
everybody. Why you Muslims always blaming somebody, God loves
everybody, immediately, I say, so he loves Hitler.
Okay, so he loves Jesus, Mary and Hitler. Make it make sense.
So what's going on here, then they have to they have to keep quiet.
Because Hitler essentially has replaced in western civilization,
Satan.
Satan is now some kind of they sort of like him. And Hitler is
the shaytaan he is at least he has replaced Iblees.
So you just replace anything that they say. And you apply it to
Hitler and see if it works for them.
So they go up to the mountain, and that is where while Satan the Musa
is reciting, they all said show us Allah Himself, or else we won't
believe what, after all this, show us Allah or else we won't believe.
So Allah Tata had a to Jenny, what is it to Jelly, to jelly
is that the divine can manifest in a make a manifestation of His
power through a creation or his will. You have to understand what
its agenda is. It is not the manifestation of God's essence.
Through a creation that can never happen, the Essence of Allah never
enters into the creation. That is an impossibility.
Unlike the Christian belief, where the essence of God enters Jesus,
to generally is the will of Allah manifest through
a creative thing.
To jelly, that is a journey. And in fact, in some sense, everything
is at the jelly. Everything is a manifestation of God's different
wills of Allah has different wills. But some trajectories are
greater than others. Some are just normal, they happen every day.
But some are unique. And so a bright light came down.
They looked at it, they all died.
Now say no Musa alayhis salam was in a massive calamity. This was
supposed to be bringing him him and the tribe back together again.
After this terrible thing happened and they worship the golden calf
then they had to execute each other. And then they are now
trying to make them make everything right again. Now 70
leaders are dead.
How is he going to explain this? Satana Musa became so
shocked that he uttered a statement and ALLAH forgive him
for it, and never even judged him for it. He says in shitter
if you have wished you had killed them before and killed me too.
Well, how am I going to live with this?
How am I going to live with this?
You just kill it killed them over there when they were having
stabbing each other. And you might as well at this point kill me too.
If you had willed you could have done this but why are we going
through this hardship? This was an immense hardship we are here
learning about the trials of Prophethood this was one of the
greatest tribulations
he is going to completely lose his people at this point gonna come
back and tell them
they died. How did they die? Did they fall off a mountain to
mountain lion eat them did an enemy come? No. They asked to see
a loved one they died. So Allah killed them. They are already
teetering on the Imen is very weak. They ready worship the
golden calf after what? Now these people are something else. They
had just crossed the Red Sea. And when they crossed the Red Sea,
that night, Satan and Musa de Sena had told them all get gather your
tribes and travel with your tribes in 12 separate lanes. Why? Because
it'll be more difficult for the fit out to catch you if you're in
12 Different companies 12 tribes
When they arrived at the Red Sea, they weren't all together as many
people imagined they were all separate. So the Red Sea actually
split 12 times.
There were 12 splits of the Red Sea.
Now while they're traveling through the Red Sea,
they turned back to Moses.
You can imagine what they're about to say. What they told Musa A
salaam made Musa shake
from anger and say, Oh Allah give me patience with these people. He
said, they said, Who here knows what they said?
Oh, man, they said, Oh Musa, we can't see each other anymore
because of the waves. Make Allah put windows.
See news couldn't believe what he's saying. He's hearing. They
cannot believe what he's hearing.
You're seeing the water split. The Red Sea is splitting for you. In a
miracle that had never happened to any other prophet.
And you are still complaining
that you can't see each other when you're about to die. The Pharaoh
is about to catch you and kill you all. Musa shook from his anger. He
couldn't believe what is just being uttered here. This is his
story with these people. They're teetering on the men.
That is when he said
this line that Allah put in the Quran, this whole tribulation in
here Illa Fitzpatrick. So what did he do? He returned the whole
matter back to Allah subhanho wa taala. The Pfitzner the bad thing
that we hate the trial. It is not as some people say, God let it
happen. Allah allowed it to happen. Or Allah does the good
shake on does the evil these are all false. No, Allah created it.
And there is no one responsible for its existence. besides Allah.
In here in life, it's not to this situation that I'm in the 70
people died. It's your fitna, you created this fitna, you will guide
people with it and you will misguide people with it. Namely,
he is saying how I react to this situation right now. I can be
guided or misguided.
Many people, they get stuck with a tribulation and tribulation is not
just
external tribulations internal. Envy is a tribulation. Hatred of
yourself is a tribulation temptation is a tribulation.
Desire is a tribulation. Someone luring you in your desire is a
tribulation. That's more likely the tribulation of Muslims of the
rich countries than the poor countries, like the poor
countries.
They're getting victimized.
The Tribulation is on the outside.
us our tribulation is on the inside, temptation. Desire,
excess,
can't control myself.
The Satan Musa is giving us the guidance here on how to handle the
tribulation. Rule number one pillar, the most essential pillar,
do not believe that this tribulation exists on its own
autonomously, externally. There is no one who put it there but Allah.
That is the number one belief the beginning of healing, and the
beginning of surpassing your tribulation. And you should recite
his saying in here, if it's not to get a little bit mental, shall we
say? The more belief that you place in the autonomous existence
and action of a tribulation,
the more it grows, and the further you get from solving it.
So for us,
some people I'm sure, alcohol is not really much of an issue for
most Muslims.
But temptations and desire is.
And the things that lower these desires and create these desires
is, and we do have one prophet, Yusuf alayhi salam who is an
example for this. Prophet Yusuf was Lord
Hemet be with him maybe
he did. She desires she desired him, he desired her. Some people
try to do a Tafseer of it in a different way, and they tried to
say she desired him and he desired to kill her for desiring him.
Where are you trying to make stuff up? Prophet Yusuf Ali Salam. It is
nothing wrong in hold.
think that a prophet desires women.
The concepts the concept not desires, Zina desires women the
general concept. Prophets eat food they desire food, right profits
get sick profits get hit by their enemies profit can get attacked by
gins. People get so shocked to know that the profits suffered
from black magic. What is black magic except Jin's incessantly
whispering in your ear?
We believe prophets are attacked by humans. Why is it so surprising
to get attacked by jinn, a prophet was swallowed by a will. That's an
animal, right? So there's nothing wrong with the concept, a prophet
sees a attractive woman in front of him. And his biology kicks in.
And that's it, his his, his hormones kick in, just like any
prophet sees any human being sees a nice cooked meal, and his
stomach and his desire kicks in. So there's nothing wrong in
holding the correct of suit, which is that she desired him and he
desired her.
Lola forehand, or if it was just not, that he saw the proof of his
Lord. And many people interpret that differently. We don't know
exactly what is the proof of his Lord. Some people say
in some of the tough seers, that his father is Huck,
since his son was in trouble, and he shouted out, yeah, you said
it's UCLA.
And he heard it.
He heard it.
And once he heard the voice of his father, everything changed.
Because he hasn't heard the voice of his father and so long. So he
ran out the door, immediately. His he's just completely transformed
inside of him, your hormones change immediately like that. And
he left. So there's nothing wrong with the concept and
understanding. If a prophet suffered it, we're gonna suffer it
and that's what most youth are suffering is temptation.
Some people are also suffering, desperation, can't get a job can't
get married. Desperation. Right. These are all tribulations. So the
first pillar is to realize it is not an autonomous thing, these
sources of temptation, these people seeking wives and husbands
that can't,
this is Allah's test.
And if you believe in the medium of the test, the test always has
to have a medium. So temptation cannot exist without a temptress,
someone to tempt you. And all these companies who are trying to
tempt you to destroy themselves. They know the psychology. If
youth, if you raise a generation of people who never control their
sexual desires,
you can enslave them. They're already slaves to themselves.
They are already have a slave mentality, they already have a
mentality that I cannot stop this from happening. I cannot stop
myself. They have a SLAVE MENTALITY already. They know deep
inside themselves, they can't control themselves. And once you
have that generation, they're slaves, then the nation can do
whatever it wants to you, and you will just accept it.
And that's why one of the hallmarks of Islam and Muslims is
to face the issue of temptations head on.
And that issue begins by realizing all these temptresses all these
websites, all these apps, all these sources of the temptation,
they're nothing other than a fitna Allah has created on Earth. Not a
company, not a woman, not a website. Allah is the source of
it.
You have to have that belief and people can sometimes they shake
about the concept. What do you think anything exists besides the
will of Allah, outside the will of Allah?
So what do I do then now that I have what you have done is you
have just stripped it of its power and returned its power to Allah,
that thing now has no power in your heart. You've stripped it of
its power.
And you've given its power of the power to Allah, you have no power
over me.
Likewise, the oppressor the enemies, one of the toughest seer
of Yet Allah He felt the ad him.
Allah's hands is above their hands. One of the tough series of
that, just as the meaning of it not in the context is about the
oppressor
is about the oppressor, that oppressor don't give him power, by
believing that he autonomously exists, and he is oppressing, you
know, you're not you're a tool of Allah.
You are a tool of Allah, nothing less than Allah is hands above
their heads. You are, what you're doing is taking the power from
them and returning it to Allah. Now this is just a tool
Who has no power? In that case, my business is not fighting. This
rabid dog that keeps attacking me. The dog has an owner, talk to the
owner.
Don't fight the rabid dog, talk to the owner.
One of the greatest of she you he said people tried to approach
Allah subhanaw taala. And then a wild dog comes in their way.
Well, you don't busy yourself with the dog. The dog is nothing but a
tool is yourself with the owner and say, Owner, I'm trying to come
into the house, you invited me to the dogs in the way remove it.
That's what you have to do when you hear you have a fitna.
So wait a second, now, you want a favor from the owner? What's your
relationship with the owner?
You want a favor from the owner now. Fix that relationship.
And whatever you asked what will be given to you fix that
relationship with Allah. This is the FIP of handling of how
prophets handled trials.
In here in love, it's not to get to the Libya mentorship,
mentorship, it is the core, it is the core R theta of how to handle
the Tribulation is to strip all the power from the medium of the
trivial. You know how many alcoholics they fear alcohol, they
literally have given belief to alcohol, and you give belief give
power to a bully. The more you believe
in that bully, the more you believe that that bully has
control over you.
And you realize that the only way out is to realize he has no power
of his own.
And so now we start to come to the question of where how do we get
our dua answered,
If this is the matter,
good, how do we get our dua answered?
And the DUA has a few preconditions.
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 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 estimate question, no matter how desperate
you look, the prophets of Allah who it was said them said,
rubbish. But
perhaps there is a man imagine there is a man know, dusty and
disheveled. Okay,
Muck through the minute of web rejected by people. Are you still
feeling bad for him? He has nobody but Allah. Rafi only a day he
lifts his hands up in a summit not here. If the * drought like
Satan was what we talked about, this is called Draw an empty head.
This is a good dog this is absolute desperation. Okay,
here cool we are up here up.
The Prophet here has listed four reasons why your DUA 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 da as you call you
say yada yada and Allah loves to hear his slave say yada yada.
And still his dua is not answered why? After all the reasons for dua
are there.
Warm up girl who haram Well, my Bestival haram Boko Haram, for
unleash the Jebel italic
prophets I said them then said his
closes haram he's 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 disobeys Allah
until the evening, wakes up the next day. disobeyed Allah until
the evening. So you have to make sure your job is headed what is
what, what is the meaning of your job is had the 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 at a grocer as an
example. Working out of 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 today, 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. He said, Hey,
you're an electrician, right? Could you change the light bulb
for me here, go up there and change this 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 had but the moment they asked 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?
What happens if I don't avoid this?
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 pork
Dainius Alka now I can't do this job.
Good. 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 were 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?
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. Condition
number two is you have to act you must take action at dissemble.
Understanding to several is so important in getting over trials
and getting to our answer to sell books does you do not believe in
the action but you do it out of obedience of Allah. That is the
meaning of the sub A sub is merely a means.
The means by which I can drink this tea is this mug. This mug is
not responsible for nourishing me or getting me the tea Justin means
there is no way to drink without a cup. You have to have a cup but
the cup has no role in presenting me the tea or nourishing me.
So it's necessary to have but it is forbidden to believe in anyone
who believes How did you you know get healthy. How's your throat
healthy because of the cup
because the cup now the cup didn't do anything. The person who made
the tea and then the nutrients in the tea and then the arm that
picked up the tea the cup
has no role in any of this, but it's necessary. So that's what you
have to believe. The ASVAB have no role whatsoever in transforming
you in bringing in an effect, zero, but it's necessary, just
like a cup.
So the ASVAB may be, maybe I go to Alcoholics Anonymous, the ASVAB,
may be,
I don't go to that person's house anymore. Because all the trouble
happens when I go to his house, the ASVAB may be I don't hang out
at night, with the computer in my room anymore. Because all the
trouble happens when that happens. So the SBAC may be that I cut
those practices off.
You don't believe for a second that that's going to be the source
of your salvation.
You believe that Allah will not save me unless I take some action,
a reasonable intelligent action towards my goal.
So this is our RP that towards S beb. I'm telling you, this is
revolutionary, Araki, the towards the the tribulation itself,
the precondition and then the RT, the towards action, you have to
act and what is Allah to Allah does not help a person until he
starts helping themselves. Your body needs to be sweaty at the
end, you need to put an effort, good, but you need to not believe
in your actions. There's a big difference between doing it and
believing it.
So that's precondition number two, precondition number three, if you
have any doubts, that your speech is not reaching the owner,
and you have any doubts, that the owner is not going to answer you.
Then you yourself have buried your own prayer.
Oh, doula and Tomoki Notability. Jabba I'm telling you all
tribulation ends up being a journey between you and Allah
subhanaw taala, usually through the form of dua,
you cannot have a single doubt that it will be answered. But the
timing is with Allah. That's the condition the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said,
you said javelina hadn't gone, mela myalgia you will get your DUA
as long as you don't rush. Don't rush. And don't say, maybe it's
going to be answered in a different way. Maybe it's going to
be saved to me the ACA Don't say that. Just because the Prophet
told you that that is a reality does not mean you're allowed to
rely upon that and say that and make an excuse. I'm like, it's not
going to be answered. No, you have no business with that. That other
aspect, if it happens, it happens. You have no business, the default
of dua would only as the Gibler. Come that's the default of Da call
upon me, I answer you exactly what you asked me, I answered. That's
the default.
The Sahaba said,
Woman Arjuna. And what is this rushing? What does it mean to
rush? He said, You stopped making and you say, and you're cool. And
you're cooler. I had to comb the out to find them use their job Li
and your cooler or had to come down to for them use the job, Lee,
that one of you says I made but I didn't get an answer. So what did
you do you quit?
You will get the answer as long as you keep asking and you don't
quit.
So that is the fourth precondition. Third, we said, no
doubt. Fourth, you don't stop.
And you don't fall for these che tonic tricks. He said, don't make
a DUA, stop making the DUA because maybe Allah has something
different for your plant. That's a satanic trick is using truth, to
undo a greater truth? That's how Satan works. One of the tricks of
the bliss is to use the truth to cancel a greater truth.
And he used the truth Yes, it could be that
something else is prepared for you.
But that is not what the Prophet told you to do. You have no
business with that. That is Allah's work. Your business is to
make dua as Allah told you have certainty. And don't stop
this. These means these methods
are guaranteed. This is not a whimsical God. This is something
very important. Like your parents are human beings. They're
whimsical.
You catch them on a good mood.
They say yes, you catch them on a bad day. They say No, Allah does
not have good days and bad days. It's a principle. It's
mathematical. It's an algorithm. It always works. There is no good
moods, bad moods. There are some kids. The kid is cute. He gets
what
He wants there is another kid
because that Allah Masha found he's not so cute.
The parent is not in a put in a good mood when that kid comes.
Here human beings, you cannot possibly tell me that you have
that one cute kid. Let's say a cute girl comes to you she has you
have a little girl and that is like a porcelain doll as soon as
you see her you're in a great mood. Okay?
puts you in a good mood. If Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran,
describing the calf of the bene of surah in a goal a yellow haired
calf that makes the onlooker happy. If Allah says that about an
animal, right, that means there could be a yellow haired calf that
all the hair is yellow, and a dark haired calf.
He's Allah is telling you, people look at the yellow one, they feel
it a good a good mood. That's why McDonald's made the yellow to make
the kids attracted to it.
So imagine humans, a beautiful baby girl, a Pimply teenager.
Neither, he's handsome. Now on top of that he's Pimply. Okay. And he
the growth is an even sometimes summer, the nose grew faster than
the rest of the face.
This person does not inspire a good mood. You're a human being
right? So your parents, you have to deal with that with humans.
There was a woman she said she entered Islam, she was a convert,
and she put on a job.
They said, What's the difference? They said, I have to work.
Relationships now. I don't get favors anymore. No one gives me
favors. Before this. Everyone give me a favor. I didn't have a fair
for the bus. They let me on. I sign up for a job. I get the job.
Right.
Look at them at school people see another person who's attractive.
They're in a great mood. Yeah, we want this person walking around
the office. What is she going to do? Oh, that notes. Bring her in
the office. No one's gonna say that about a hijabi. Right. Now
she puts on hijab. She's got to work to get a job. She gets
rejected. No, because that beauty factor is covered.
But Allah is not whimsical. And he doesn't play favorites. He doesn't
care how you look. He doesn't care your ethnicity. He doesn't have
any of these things. This is why people love Allah. There are no
favorites with Allah in this respect. Your how you look how
cool you are, what you are what you do. None of that matters.
It's a principle.
There are no good moods, and there's no enough. In fact, it's
the opposite. Now you got that pretty girl comes to you and says,
Can I go out with Xena? Her mom's taken us to ice cream?
Of course. As long as you do your homework go, he tried to be fair,
and throw in a condition that's so ridiculously simple. As long as
you give me a kiss, like as long as if he's given her a condition,
right? That's so ridiculously simple so he can look fair, right?
He gives her everything. She spoiled.
Okay, even that dad who follows gets weak need whenever he sees
his daughter. Even that dad himself the second request Oh,
after Zane of the ice cream. They want to have a sleepover.
Okay, fine. Have the sleepover. After the sleepover next day we
want to go to great adventure. Okay? You cute to a limit?
No enough. Learn what to stop when you're ahead. Right?
Every human being will have a limit.
And Allah has no limits. So get that out of your head. Oh, my
thought was answered. I guess that's the DUA that I get every
decade. Right? I can't this is never going to happen again for
another decade. Why are you assuming that you're treating
Allah like a human? Just like parents let you go on that one
trip.
Once. Finally, man, you'd shut your mouth another five years.
Right? You know the drill. You know the drill. You know that
you're going to come home from the trip, get to the chores, do some
don't bring up anything at that point. Because you've used up your
credits. Okay. Allah's not like this, and many people one time as
we were camping, and we didn't have an alarm clock. So a brother
taught us they said recite a clause for Loch Ness three times
before you sleep, then Allah will send an Angel to wake you up at
the time you need. We did it and it worked.
The next day, we also didn't have an alarm clock. But the brother
said no, no, this time we're leaving the camp. We gotta go. And
we said no. Well, we really it's far away. We don't have to because
it's far away. It's not reasonable. We have the Philip
Glass and Ness.
Glass Filipinas. He said Ah
I don't want to use up my credits. As if you only get one answered da
a day, or something that one answered throughout a week. You're
treating Allah like a whimsical parent who has limits. That's the
problem. You can't do this. In fact, the Prophet told us the
opposite.
manlam Yes, la La Jolla, Baba Ali, who doesn't ask Allah that Allah
becomes angered with the why, because you believe he has limits.
Now you believe he has limits? If you don't ask Allah, he becomes
angered with you. You believe he has limits? You believe he's
whimsical. You believe he plays favorites? You believe it's
exhausting him?
All of that is forbidden for us to believe about inconceivable for
Allah.
And that's why people they sort of make themselves hesitate. Yeah,
realize no you can do it can be accepted in major ways every
single day.
And that's why you have to it's an algorithm. So now you have to
follow the timings. You have to seek out the right times because
there are times and places that are sacred. And there are states
that are sacred. What are the states that are sacred traveling
and sickness, Hajj, sujood.
And oppression, when you're oppressed, when someone depresses
you to the point that like you feel so down, about what's
happened? Hold on, make dua he's gonna be answered. Because who
remembers Allah at that moment? All right, he's going to be
answered. So there are states and conditions that are sacred, there
are places that are sacred masajid in general, and the three great
mosques and specific.
There are times that are sacred. And that's what we have to jump
on. The last third of the night, if you don't take your affairs to
the last third of the night, you're not serious. You are not
serious, if you don't take your affairs in the last third of the
night, because that's where things are given for free. Everything's
given for free. Immediately. If you don't take advantage of the
last third of the night, when you need something, you're not
serious, you don't deserve it. So you have to take advantage. And
that's why the people of Allah love the winter.
Because the nights are so long, and it's not difficult to get up
before federal. Whereas the summertime sometime then the Feds
may come 330 I slept nice. I came in at 1030. Like, by the time I
slept, it was 1130 It's hard to wake up at three.
But the winter is a time the feasts. And if you keep attacking
that last third of the night,
eventually, you're going to hit the right time. People don't
understand what it means.
It actually means as the mimetic said
that when the door opens,
for the time of the job, whatever comes out of your mouth is given
to you.
That's how simple it is.
Oh, is it really reasonable? Does not anything about this. What
comes out of your mouth, if you are awake making dua at that hour,
what comes out of your mouth is given to you Subhan Allah, this is
why they Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said do not make dua
against people. Because even if that time the doors of Heavens are
open, it will happen.
It will happen in Egypt. They always used to repeat on their
tongues and I don't know if they still do this. By Allah destroy
your house.
Right?
Even just jokingly
if you whatever you utter, jokingly or seriously if the gates
of the heavens are open at that time, it's gonna happen. So when
you have a population 80 million people and each every single
person from age five to age 100 utters this phrase probably 10
times a day it's just a phrase it's off their mouth constantly
cosmetology story house my bloodstream you do something mela
destroy house you're five minutes late mela destroy house we're
waiting for you. This is your friend right? Okay, constantly
knots up someone pays for you. You eat together someone prays hella
destroy a house. Okay.
What you're not taking dua seriously. One of these times it's
guaranteed many many times the gates of heaven were open and
someone said it and millions of people said it.
That's why you go to Egypt and it's destroyed.
Is it upright? You want to go live there?
You'd want to go there? No, you don't have to be a tour tourist
there. Okay.
You someone tells you hey, I'm totally taking a vacation to Cairo
you left.
You don't know what you're getting yourself into.
So this is the power the this is
Essentially the power that we have we stripped the power from our
tribulation by disbelieving in India in the fits in Africa to
Libya mentorship, which activity militia and we ask our owner, the
owner of this dog to remove it, take it away.
So tribulation becomes the beginning it becomes a journey
between yourself and Allah subhanho wa Taala through
rectifying our wealth and through dua. Hula Cody ha That was tough
for a lot of us.
