00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Years ago, we were riding a we're getting
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			a car with our teacher, Sheikh Ahmed. And
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			Sheikh Ahmed, he was struggling to put on
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			his seat belt. And this one brother, he
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			was like, Sheikh, why do you wear a
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			seatbelt? You should trust in Allah. And the
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			Sheikh was like, you're crazy.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			That's not what trusting in Allah means.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			And I see that a lot with people.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			They think that to make any effort
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			somehow weakens our trust in Allah, but actually
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			trusting in Allah means to take all of
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			the precautions we can and then to leave
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			it to Allah. So right here behind me,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			entering into Granada, you see that wall. Most
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			old major Muslim cities you find those kind
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			of walls. In Medina, in Cairo, Babbazuwel and
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Kuwait, because those walls were meant to protect
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			the people. Inside, most of them were Muslims.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			So they took
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			all
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			the necessary precautions as the Quran says
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			and then left it to Allah. So
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			trusting in Allah should not be used as
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			an alibi to be lazy or not to
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			try. It's the opposite. It should invigorate us,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			encourage us to take advantage of all the
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			resources Allah has given us, and then leave
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			it to Allah.
