Sulaiman Moola – Satisfaction on the decree of Allah

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

We live in a world where people are

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

desperately trying to change their circumstances

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

with in every possible way. But sometimes, you

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

simply cannot do it. You're up against a

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

steep incline. You're trying to swim against the

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

current.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

How about pausing for a moment

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

and embracing the decree of the Almighty?

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

He knows best and he has my interests

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

and if he has ordained this, surely there's

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

goodness in it for me. We all heard

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

the hadith of that woman who was unwell.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

She suffered epileptic attacks. She came to the

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

messenger, sallallahu alayhi wasallam,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

imploring him to pray for her recovery. He

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam offered her 2,

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

suggestions and 2 proposals.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

If you want, sister, I will pray and

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

Allah will cure you. And if you want,

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

persevere,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

endure

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

and Jannah is your abode.

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

She opted for the latter and she said,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

I will persevere in the hope of paradise.

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

SubhanAllah.

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

She made peace with a condition and an

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

illness that was chronic.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

Used to say,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

Oh my Allah, I love you so dearly

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

that it has left me happy

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

and pleased and satisfied

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

with every situation

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

in which I find myself,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

prosperity or otherwise, health or otherwise. And that's

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

my message. Maybe pause for a moment,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

embrace the situation,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

make peace with it because acceptance

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

will bring peace and tranquility.
