Woman

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

are rather and

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

victory.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

And whoever

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

turns away

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

from my message,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:27

Victory

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

is also translated

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

from my reminder.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

What does Allah

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

say? Woman are rather an.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

Whoever turns away from my reminder,

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

from my message,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

whoever hears the message of Allah, do this.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

You don't do it.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

Don't do that.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:57

We do it.

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

Eat this.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

Don't eat that.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

We turn away from what Allah says to

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

do when we do what our nafs,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

our ego,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

our own mind

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

tells us to do.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

Yeah. What Allah says is the consequences.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

Sometimes I wonder if this is what is

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

happening in the Muslim world

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

and what is happening to us.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

Allah says,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

for You know what

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

means in Arabic?

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

Whoever turns away, Allah says from his reminder.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

The message of the Quran.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

From doing things the way Allah says to

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

do it.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

The way Allah says to do it.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

Whoever does not do that

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

and does not

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

apply what the Quran

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

expects us to do.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

Allah says then for him, his lifestyle will

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

be a very frustrating one.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

Wow.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

In Arabic,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

lord,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

noon,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

frustration,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:19

depression,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

exhaustion,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

stressed,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

difficulties,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

confinement.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

Does that ring a bell?

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

Come on.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

I get a little goosebump when I say

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

that.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

Do you hear people saying that all the

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

time? What's going on? Well, I'm very stressed.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

But a good believer with faith in Allah

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

is not supposed to be stressed.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:51

Allah

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

Allah says in chapter 13 verse 28,

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

that the people who make the dhikr of

00:02:58 --> 00:02:58

Allah,

00:02:59 --> 00:03:00

who remember Allah,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

who do what Allah expects them to do,

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06

will find peace and tranquility

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

in their hearts.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

Today, when you meet every second Muslim,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:11

frustrated,

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

things bad,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

I feel confined.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

I have so many problems.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

Business bad.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

Things not going good.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

Come on.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

What is Allah saying here?

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

What is Allah I'm not saying that, you

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

know, don't go and escort me, please, brothers

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

and sisters.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

This is Quran chapter 20 verse 124.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

That when Allah has ordained a way in

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

the Quran for us exemplified

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

in the sunnah of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi salallahu

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

alaihi salallahu alaihi salallahu alaihi salallahu alaihi salallam.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

And we chose to do things our way.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

What we think is best and how we

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

wanna do it.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

Allah

00:03:57 --> 00:03:57

says

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

Allah says I'll make that person's

00:04:00 --> 00:04:01

life

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

miserable.
