Then he come in combat Elohim this is of the news of the unseen meaning, this story of use of a salaam that you have just read here is a story that was unknown to people from the unseen meaning that was unknown to people. How was it unknown, that it wasn't public, it wasn't public knowledge. Only a few people knew about the story, and whatever they didn't know was also very limited. But in the Quran when Allah subhanaw taala mentioned the story of use of SLM there's so much detail, there's so much beauty and there are so many lessons that can be learned. Allah says no, he Laika, we reveal it to you Oh, Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, well, my content today him you are not
present witnessing in Edge. Allahu wa Holmium karoun When they were putting together their plan, and they were plotting and conspiring against use of Rene Sena, meaning, it's not an eyewitness account, you weren't there, which is why you are narrating the story. No, this happened many, many years before you so how is it that the Prophet salallahu Salam so beautifully narrated the story, because it's based on what he it wasn't something that he made up rather, this was something that Allah subhanaw taala revealed.
This story is based on what divine revelation from news of the unseen because the story of use of Renison and the way we learned it in the Quran, it is not recorded in any book of history like that even in Bible it's a different account. It's a different account, I'm sure all of you have seen some kind of movie or another based on the story of use of Raisina and there are details that are according to the Quran, but there are many other details which are not according to the Quran, and that kind of more the glory that Allah subhanaw taala really give to use of our listener. Like for example, they show an affair that use have already sent them had with a woman mean that does not
bring any dignity. Having an affair with a woman. Really use of Bredesen was above that, that he come in, I'm bet Elaine. And even if the story wasn't a thorough, but how accessible was the thorough to the people? How accessible was it? It wasn't.
So this was a story that was unknown to people. There was no printing press at that time, the profits on a lot of sudden was illiterate. So in other words, the story could not have been fabricated. And the story is a proof that the Quran is a miracle.
The Quran is a miracle.
So I just want to share something that Schaffer debonair shared and he was talking about Surah Yusuf and he said how the plot of Surah Yusuf is very interesting because it starts off with the dream that Yusuf Alayhi salaam had, and then his brothers plot against him. And then his owner's wife tries to seduce him. Then her friends tried to seduce him. And then he ends up in prison. And then you see the story works backwards, the king has a dream, then the dream is realized. The wife's friends apologize that made the mistake. The wife admits her mistake. He was led out of prison first, then the apologies and the brothers apologize. And then history and comes into actualization.
So like the story was in sent down.
This cannot be the work of a human being. Because you see, have you ever tried writing up a story? A short story? I'm sure in school, you have to do that. How many times did you write it and edit it and destroy it and write it again? How many times did you have to do that change words edit. I mean, you edit it so many times even the most expert people, the most expressive people, they write one line, and they will fix it 10 times.
But how is it that the Prophet said a lot is that I'm just recited the story just recited? Can this be the work of a human mind? Impossible? Can this be the work of a man who's illiterate who's never written a word? Open a book read from a book who's never done anything like that? Is it possible and you know what is the plot of the story and how beautiful it really is accidental causes but in addition to that, the lessons and the beauty and the amazing amazing parts of the surah that really touch your heart and melt you from inside. That is also amazing.
That is also amazing. So then he come in combat, it'll leave. No he lay we inspire it to you we reveal it to you. You are not with them watching all of this happen when the people are making their plot when the brothers of us have already said I'm we're making their plot you are watching that. This has been given to you.
Be sure he's the three westerly I'm

I
Just wanted to share a couple of reflection that I had on Surah Yusuf, so I'm just going to read it out Surah Yusuf is a story of people, a story of sibling rivalry, a story of jealousy, a story of parenting, a story of growing up as a child, a story of patience, beautiful patience to the balloon Jamil patients again and again, a story of emotional intelligence, a story of strength, physical and emotional strength, a story of love, a story of forgiveness, a story of reliance in Allah, and only Allah. Allah calls this story, the best narration the best story, let's read the story and share it with our children in sha Allah. Let's reflect on the story. This is a story with much between the
lines, an overwhelming amount of insight between the lines, insight into family problems, insight into diseases of the heart insight into patients, when it seems impossible, insight into tobacco, relying on Allah amidst all troubles, relying on Allah and no one else insights into emotional strength and physical strength, strength against evil and strength in dealing with the test. That life throws our way. We equate patients with a lack of strength with being weak, with not wanting to speak up, but to your use of tells the story of patients being a strength, the strongest trend, so we're used as proof that all problems eventually and eventually, if something doesn't change, the
instant we make dua, we stopped making dua, we despair of Allah's mercy. What's your use of this the story of never ever disappearing from Allah's mercy, when the odds seem to be lined up against you. And respite seems unachievable, unimaginable, that is when respite comes. So we are used as a story of embracing one's life situation, no matter what it may be of accepting one's life situation, no matter what it may be. So your use of the psychology 101 The Psychology of parenting, the psychology of children, the psychology of adults, psychology, 101, wrapped up in this surah, all in one place. So you're used to the story of a father and sons, a story of siblings of brothers, real brothers and
half brothers, a story of family, family, love and family feuds, a story of how jealousy can take over, take over and change lives. The theme story shows how people can change for the better. For the positive. It's a story of strength when things are not changing. And it's the story of ever changing circumstances. Change beyond imagination change beyond expectation, positive change, it's a story of humans. Human forgiveness and human love. Forgiveness. It comes hard for us Jacoba Hudson um forgave his sons the instant they mentioned that you civilize them was eaten by a wolf, his worst fear coming to life. And what does he tell his sons? Your souls have made you do something wrong, he
didn't call them wrongdoers, or ask them to go fend for themselves. He then said for subduing Jamil, so beautiful patients will love him was Stan Allah is the one from whom helped us thought he immediately turned to Allah jacobellis And I'm gonna react in any of a million ways. But this was his chosen response. This is a beautiful story of a father for giving his sons sons who have wronged their father and brother. This is a beautiful story of a brother of forgiving his brothers, brothers who have wronged him, turned his life upside down from the loving arms of his father into a well then sold as a slave, then exposed to evil, then wrongfully imprisoned, use of Assam doesn't dwell
on what could have been, he makes the best of what is so many negatives turned around into so many positives because of his attitude, from the arms of protectiveness into a world where he has to fend for himself, to learn to grow, the educational opportunities, endless the learning opportunities, countless a story of strength upon strength, not the story of a poor boy whose brothers wronged him. No, this is the story of someone who exhibited strength against all odds, patience and strength. And what does he do when he needs his brothers decades later, when they don't even recognize him? As the days of the well and the slave are long gone? He now works for the king of Egypt. What does he do?
He's calm. He's patient waits for the right moment to reveal his identity, a story of emotional intelligence not just blurting out what comes to our mouth, not a story of revenge, a story of forgiveness.
BarakAllahu Viki very beautifully put together all the lessons are basically covered Mashallah.
Anything that struck you the most?
Let's kinda like gives us a perfect example of the most difficulty a person can go through in life. Like, I mean, there's some people who have half siblings and they
realize how difficult that is, but use FaceTime he had half siblings, and they were jealous against him. And they actually plotted and committed crime against him. And then he also had to go through a woman trying to seduce him in everyone else around him he was also imprisoned, wrongly. And then you know, he had to stay in there, despite his innocence. So Allah is trying to put the example of if you think your life is difficult, look at this, this is everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong. But despite all of that, his example, was the most beautiful that we've ever seen, despite all of that, he was still reliant on Allah subhanaw taala, he still turned to him. So Allah, Allah
has given us the example of the most difficult life and yet the best character, yes. Yes Does I can locate the most difficult life. But yet the best character so beautifully, so perfectly, he passed every test, every test, we think our life is difficult because of that one problem that we're suffering from. He had all those problems together in his life, he barely got out of one, that he got into another out of the pot into the fire out of the pot into the fire, every time. But look at how he survived so beautifully.
One thing that really struck me was that this is not the story of a poor boy, who's suffering because his brothers were jealous. No, it's not a story of, you know, being feeling pity over a boy, no, this is a story of strength. Look at how he came so strong, so strong, through every challenge through every difficulty. And you know why? Because he didn't have self pity. Our problems become big, because we feel pity for ourselves. And then we expect that others should show a pity towards us.
Woe is me, Woe is me. And that's it.
I was thinking that the story is so concise. You know, I've read so many novels in my life and literally like, some books have seven series and 10 series. And like so many, you literally don't learn a single lesson from any of them. And here are just like maybe a few 100 verses.
You learn exactly you learned so much. Like just from in one word you learn like so many lessons. And just so I was just thinking this cannot be the work of a human and take the lessons that you learned from just a few words.
Every part of the
mind has amazing lessons.
This car just got me playing connect the dots in my own head out of everything that happened in my life. And just thinking this happened because of this. And especially the verse the part of the verse when the smelling salaam says in Nairobi love the full Lima Yeshua. So he does whatever he wants. And the translation goes, he fulfills his plans in mysterious ways. And it just makes you so grateful because you are able to reflect on it. And obviously Hindsight is 2020. You don't see it in the moment. But when you see it all planned out, you truly are grateful. Yes, very true. But there are so many things in your life that may have happened and you wonder, why did this happen to me?
Why did I have to suffer in this way, but leave it to Allah and realize that Allah is lovely, I forgot to tell you the meaning of leaf leaf is from loads and loads is first of all, current kindness. So as difficult as it was, I mean, life was very difficult for use of an s&m, but still along with that difficulty, that kindness and affection from Allah subhanaw taala was always there.
It was difficult. But Allah subhanaw taala was also very good to use of Elisa leave kind. And secondly, not also means to be a very fine and delicate, intricate, so luckily infinitely Maya, meaning he works very in very subtle ways
to execute his will. Not our obvious plan, but a very, like it said mysterious ways that no one no one could have guessed that of use of reason has been thrown into well, it is so that one day, he can be sitting on the throne of Egypt. No, Allah is it luckily.
You know, on the surface, things are happening one way, but behind the scenes, why it's happening like that. What's going to happen? Allah alone knows he's lovely. If so trust him, he is live, and he is hacky. Now when he come, I just wanted to say that I was very surprised by
the ability that each and every one of them was able to first of all recognize their mistakes when they were supposed to recognize it. And second of all, to receive forgiveness from each and every one of them. It's just unbelievable. I'm still flabbergasted by how they could forgive something so great. If you think
about it. At the end, everyone is happy. Everyone is happy, user friendly, said I was happy. The brothers are forgiven. They apologized. The woman, the women, I mean, everything's good. And this is a person who's not just concerned about himself, but because of him, others also reformed themselves. Others also improved themselves. You see, our success is not just we make of our lives, but how our enemies benefit, also how they become our friends. And you see this in the life of the Prophet salallahu Salam also, that how his enemies became his greatest supporters. Why because of his Ersan because when he also entered Makkah, as a victor, what did he say? Let the three barely
call yo, he said the same words, as you said very soon. I'm not going to blame you for anything. So his enemies became his friends, he was happy, everyone was happy.
The poem one thing that struck me was a story about love. So for us, love is one big thing because it controls the emotion, the love for your child, that love for your parents, below for a spouse, for a friend or anything. And if you're happy with that, sufficient with that, you're you see your life going towards the right way. And if you see yourself that it's depressing, you makes you sad hurts you, things goes down the hill. And for me, it's the love of Allah subhanaw taala that for use of four verses dad that no matter what happened, he was patient that Allah will make his dream come true. And he would reunite with his son, and that symbol, and for his son, to patiently wait for
Allah subhanaw taala to reunite and make his dream come true. And that's also about is that love uniting you to Allah that you say, You know what we see that happy day.
And for me, it's x panela. Like, last year, like this whole year from 2013. Till today, I went through so much that to a point where people even felt sorry for me that would say, oh, what's going to happen to you? And today, I realized it's a lie that I read every single day for years, asking Allah, Allah and what your love, I want to get so close to you that literally in one year, everything that I thought I had, was falling apart. And I realized
I realized today that
and we're lucky
that Allah is that he took everybody away from me and I was the type of person that I will be there for people. And Allah showed me that I have relied on people so much, that some of them that I love them so much that there's no way this person can hurt me. But Allah took everybody away, that I actually realized that
you are getting so close to you and this is a true love and sufficient for you. If Allah and whoever is insufficient for me, the word really means that
you will get whatever it is in the near future identity dates for our
because it is these people, these things that are around us that we get lost in. We love them too much. We rely on them too much we expect from them too much. But as we go through life, we realize no one can protect us by Allah. No one can guide us but Allah, no one can keep us safe, you know is worthy of being trusted being relied upon, except Allah subhanaw taala everyone is weak, except Allah.
Everyone in your life is there temporarily. Just for a few days, they're not there forever. But Allah is there for you from the beginning to the end. So seek Him, befriend him, please Him, love Him, fear Him and you will be happy and you'll be successful.
If you place all your love and an individual
that will break you. If you place your trust in an individual that will break you. If you place your faith in someone that will break you. You're Wally, Wally is who? Allah and only Allah, not children, not mom, not dad.
Nobody but Allah.
This is pure though hate this Cisco hate.
Believe in the Oneness of Allah, that my life, my death, my prayer, my sacrifice my everything is for Allah because he is everything to me. Everyone else weak, everyone else fails only
loss of panel data deserves everything. But unfortunately, this is one thing that we forget the most, which is why any person who shows a little bit of love we get lost in them.
Anyone who shows a little bit of support, we get lost in them. We forget Allah, and we get lost in the means we get lost in the people. And Allah subhanaw taala says, women follow Nessie. And the majority of the people are not well Oh ha Rasta. And even if you greedily wish, meaning at all believers, meaning no matter how badly you want or profited a lot is that most of the people, they're not going to believe. Because if you think about a story like this, a story like that of use of Ernestina, that was so eloquent and beautiful, full of lessons, so captivating. Even this story when the kuffaar of Makkah, when they were informed about the story, did they believe? No, they
didn't. And had they reflected on the very contents of the story near the storyline itself, it would have changed them, if they had reflected on it, if they had extracted any lesson from it for themselves, they would have believed, but the Prophet saw a lot of them discomforted over here that no majority of the people are not going to believe and this was the case at the time of Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, and this is the case even today also, that people see the authenticity of the Quran, whatever is mentioned in it is accurate, it is true, but still what will they do? They will find faults, they will find a reason here and there to reject to deny.
So what does this ayah show to us that there have always been very few people who have believed in the messengers, majority of the people, what have they done? They have rejected the call of the messengers. Very few people were those who believed why? Because believing is something difficult. Accepting Amen. is not easy at all. Firstly, a person is accepting the fact that he was wrong previously. Has it ever happened that you've had to accept your mistake? You've had to accept your mistake? Is it easy? Is it easy? to even think about this? That yeah, I made a mistake. I was wrong. I need to change myself. No, we'll go to any lengths to defend ourselves, right. But when a person
is accepting Iman, what is he doing? First and foremost, he's saying he's acknowledging, yes, I was wrong. All my life, I have been following a religion that was incorrect. I have been believing something that was not right. So that itself is a big ego issue.
And then secondly, when a person accepts email, then, you know, he has to face a lot of opposition from the people around him also,
to deal with peer pressure is very difficult. If you ever do anything that is different from the rest of the people around you, from your family, how odd is it? It's so difficult, you don't want anyone to know you're doing it. So this is why accepting human is also difficult. But this is a reason why for those who accept email, there is also huge reward. Because every difficulty brings a lot of reward. Right. And also remember that accepting Iman means that a person has to change himself. You know, first was that he has to accept that he was wrong. But now what now you have to change yourself change everything, from your eating, to your drinking, to your dressing, to your
socializing, and you're celebrating, everything has to change. And people would rather follow their own desires than restrict themselves to a particular way of life. So the prophets have a lot of sort of discomforted over here. It's not your fault that they're not relieving. No, you are doing your best in conveying the message. The fault is whose it's the people's fault, they don't want to believe. And the sad reality is that no matter how much you try, a majority of the people will remain disbelievers. What matters Allahumma la him an edge and you're not asking them for any budget over it. Meaning why do they find it difficult to believe? Are you asking them for some kind of
payment? That believe in me and give me this much money every month? No, you're not asking them for any kind of payment. You're doing this service for free. In Hua inlet Vicon. And I mean, this is not but a reminder for the world's this message of yours. This Quran is a reminder, meaning it's something to help the people think about it a reminder, isn't it helpful?
Isn't it helpful, which is why we're always setting reminders and our phones and our computers and everything. The other day somebody was calling me and I wasn't able to take the phone call. But I don't know what happened something I touched on the screen. And now at
Every day, what happens is that my phone reminds me that I have to call this individual back. I don't even know who that individual was because that it just a random number showed up. And I got a lot of, you know, wrong phone calls. So every day, I'm getting those reminders. And the funny thing is I'm getting those reminders even on my computer, even on my computer, I don't know how or why, but it's happening. But I was thinking that if this was, you know, a reminder that I needed, how helpful it would have been. A reminder is always useful, always beneficial. And this Quran, what is it? It's a reminder, but some people they get offended when they're reminded. They're like, Don't
remind me Don't tell me I already know. So this Quran is a reminder but people they don't want to listen. They don't want to know. Allah says Waka a yen and how many min Aya 10 signs for some are worth you will all have in the skies on the earth? How many signs are there up in the sky and around yourself in the earth? How many signs above you around you beneath your feet within you? Which I other these I get Coney. So what are I add shutter so for example, sort of use of right? I add shutter either versus that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed. And then there are I add Kony, the signs that are spread around us that constantly remind us of who Allah subhanaw taala the verses
remind us of Allah, and the signs around us the creation that Alta reminds us of Allah. Allah says so many signs there are in the sky in the earth, you will ruin Allah, they pass by it, meaning all the time people are passing by these ayat by these miracles. If you think about it, your own body, isn't it a miracle? Your hand itself? I mean, have you ever seen a child struggling to hold a pencil or a pen or crayon and trying to write or color?
How difficult it is for them? How much they they struggle to even hold the pencil you would so much force they're holding it, and they're trying to trace and they're trying to color within the lines, but they're not able to? And here you are writing without even looking?
Isn't that itself a miracle? I mean that this skill that you have developed and perfected over time, this itself is an eye in the sky, the sun, the moon, did you see the moon last night? Beautiful. Have you seen the rain recently, the clouds, how swiftly they're just gliding in the sky and the wind and the beautiful fragrances, there's so much beauty. Allah says there's so many I had to maroon Irelia they passed by them a hammer and hammer alone and the turn away from them. They don't pay any attention.
They drive in the night, they see the moon, they look and they look away. They look up in the sky, they see the beautiful clouds and they turn away. They don't even bother to give a second glance and appreciate what Allah is showing them. Appreciate the Creator. They don't even bother to do that. So the prophets on a lot of time was very sad about the fact that the people were denying the Quran. Allah says, This is not the first time they're refusing my eye that they refuse IR chattery. But they even refuse if Kony.
They even refuse if county they see the signs, night and day countless proofs yet they reject. They don't bother to think they don't bother to reflect.
If you think about it, there's a beautiful painting
a piece of art, some artwork, if you see it, and you find it beautiful. Don't you wonder who made it?
Don't you wonder who made it? Like for example, just this poster only over here. Even a Siddhartha was talking, and there's one over there, and then there's one over there. When you see these things, Don't you wonder? That's beautiful. I wonder who designed it.
And what happens you see a particular artwork once and you see it again, and you see it again, and you see it again. But what happens? People keep praising that artwork, right? They praise the art of the creation, but the art of the Creator. They don't praise it. And if they do praise it, they will only praise the artwork itself. They will not praise the maker. They will not praise the Creator.
Think about it. If there's a beautiful piece of art, why does it have value? Why is it because that artwork is beautiful or because a particular person made it
because of the artist? Because sometimes really, you'll see something that will look like garbage to you or like doesn't make any sense. Is it a bird? Is it an eye is it
The Forest What is it you can tell somebody has to explain it to you. And then you're like, oh, and then you look closely, it says a lot of paint literally thrown on a canvas and smashed with a paintbrush. But that piece is worth 1000s of dollars sometimes why?
You might say I can do a better job than this. Right? My three year old can do a better job than this. Give her a lot of paint and she'll do a wonderful job. But that will not even sell for $10 on eBay. Right? But something similar, just because it has been made by a particular artist, it will have so much value. What matters it's not the art. It's the artist. But when we look at the creation of Allah subhanaw taala we go on praising nature, nature nature, right we keep talking about how amazing it is mind blowing it is how the systems are so perfect. Who made it? Where did it come from? Don't you ever think about that? Did you meet Salam Alikum reflecting in Allah's creation is
soft the heart, especially for kids when it's rain, just put them by the window and tell them look at the rain. Look at the trees how it was so dry now is green. So hello, when you tell them actually they reflect when you would this kind of hidden their heart. They can accept any Kampala yes in Java. And don't just show them the rain, take them in the rain. The other day was raining and was bright and warm outside. And I just walked outside in the rain. It was too beautiful. I just stepped out into the backyard and my kids were like, What are you doing? Well,
I'm like come. It's like a big shower. It's so nice. It's nice and warm, soft water. And they really enjoyed it. And now every time it rains, they actually want to go outside.
So these are, you know, things that Allah has created for us to enjoy. And at the same time, praise Him and thank Him and appreciate his greatness, his perfection, and as a result surrender more before him. But it is said that most of the people they pass by the signs and they just turn away. Woman You may know Athan Billahi INLA Homebush record, and most of them do not believe in Allah, except that they associate with him. Meaning most of the people who believe in Allah, okay. What kind of belief do they have? They do shake with him. So if you think about our humanity at large majority of the people don't believe
some people believe. And then out of those some people who believe most of them, what do they do in law Humby machico, they do share with him. So there is only a few people really at the end, who believe in Allah as they should believe in Him who truly believe in His Oneness, because majority of the people they do shake with Allah what kind of ship shook in his Rubia so for example, they say, Rob Izu, colic, Malik muda bill. So, Allah is not the creator, this giant force, you know, because of that everything came into existence. Okay? Likewise, for some people, literally, they believe that there are multiple creators. So they do shrink in Ruby Likewise, in Oulu here, meaning in him
being Allah in worshipping Allah. So they believe that okay, there's one Creator, but when it comes to acts of worship, then they will perform them for who other than Allah. And if you think about it, majority of the Muslims also, don't they commit this kind of shit? They believe in Allah. They say if you ask them, who's your Lord, who is your God, Allah, but when they need a child, when they need their business to grow, when they need some difficulties to be removed from them, what do they do they go to a grave,
they go to some tree, they go to some person thinking that they can help they can relieve them. So Allah subhanaw taala is complaining over here that on the one hand, there are people who don't believe it all. And on the other hand, there are people who believe yet they don't give him his due.
Think about it. When we believe in Allah, really, how much is it that when it comes to reliance, we rely only on him and not others? Remember, you already said when he was in the prison, what happened? He just mentioned to that guy, you know, tell your master about me.
And Allah subhanaw taala did not like that. So as a result use of Edison I've stayed in the prison for a few more years, because he should not have sought the help of the creation. Now this is something that people are allowed to do, but the prophets they're not allowed to do that. Now this was something very small, but think about it if we're sick
Who is it that we turn to first and foremost? Doctor, doctor, hospital emergency, right? We have a headache. What's the first thing that comes to our mind? Or the first words that come out of our mouth? Tylenol, Tylenol, Tylenol?
Really? Our words what do they show the state of our heart that we have more faith in Tylenol than we have faith in Allah subhanaw taala
I find it so sad how like we want to go to for those like we want to get to the highest point there is. But like, when it comes to things like relying on Allah, then we don't want to rely on him completely. We want to rely on our parents, siblings, whatever. Like I was listening to that lecture you told us to listen to what if this is my last Ramadan? And it's so good, like you guys should really listen to it. Brother tough each other. He said that, like, if you're working for GM, then why would IBM pay you? You know? Like, if you're working for Allah and like we all are working for Allah, then why would we seek the help of anyone other than Allah? Or why do we expect praise and
reward from other than Allah. So this is something that contradicts the heat. How many indirect grand there was this poem that we read are basically it's called Hindu key flat, which is basically the call or complaint of a Hindu. The gist of it was that if a Hindu prays to and they have so many gods and they basically present material things to them, there's no difference in a Muslim, we go to dead people, we, you know, people do present things to them, they make dua to the dead people. And then basically that the end the Hindu, or the poem said that if we're going to end up in a fire, then so will you. And then if you're going to the Netherlands all week, because there is no
difference in our actions at all. I mean, think about it, if they are offering food and such things to their idols, we say Oh, shake caffeine, hellfire, but the same thing Muslims are doing the same thing Muslims are doing also. And this is something that happens at every level that a very extreme level, okay, but if you think about it, a very small level, if it's not major shake, it's minor shift that we do, which is seeking praise from people the corruption of intention, but we think that others they will not make it to paradise but we will for sure make it to Paradise. Allah says that most of the people they do shake so look at yourself, every person look into their hearts. How much
is it that I love Allah fear him depend on him expect from him?
I was thinking about when you say Tylenol I since I was a teenager, I have this headache all the time. So I used to Tylenol, Tylenol, Tylenol. And then once I said Why don't try Sawtell fathead because when I heard I was rattled, I try Subhanallah i After I reached rattle patthar seven time I hold my head is just gone to headache whenever I have headache, now I handle I have better than Tylenol.
And you know, if somebody tells us read up on yourself or read some Quran or read it to Shiva, or to ask for Shiva, we say, yeah, yeah, I'll do that. But I also need this.
It's like we have more faith. In other things, then we have faith in Allah subhanaw taala. And his column, His words, His promises. So it's these tests, it's these situations that really show how strong is our belief in though hate? On paper? It's very simple. Very simple. What though hate means what's the root is what the technical meaning is? What its implications are very simple. But in real life, that's the real test. That how strong is the heathen, a servant? And remember, the stronger it is, the better it is, the more successful a person will be.
I mean, do they feel secure, and do home last year, that is last year will come to them last year from Lion sheen year, last year to cover and Russia is one that completely covers? And it refers to some kind of punishment that will completely overcome the people? Do they feel secure that is Russia will not come to them? Men or their beloved from the punishment of Allah? Meaning how do they feel secure from Allah while they're doing schicke? Can Allah not send an overwhelming calamity upon them, from which none of them can escape out that do Homosassa to Bolton, or the hour will come upon them suddenly, or Himalaya Sharon and they do not even perceive? They do not even realize that it's
coming and it just suddenly shows up. And remember that our there's two sides one is Assata Solara, the minor resurrection and that refers to death and the
Second is major Assa a sagittal Cobra and that refers to the day of judgment and beyond it. Now yes, the Day of Judgment, everyone is not going to see it happen in the sense that everyone is not going to be alive. Okay? Meaning when it occurs, yes, after the second blowing of the trumpet or going to others, the third game of the trumpet, the entire creation will be brought alive, and then people will witness the scenes of the Day of Judgment, but every single individual is going to face a sorrow to solve.
The first star, the minor one and what is that death? Because Kanaan Epson, that it cottonmouth every naps is going to taste death, it is going to experience death. So in other words, what are people waiting for? What are we waiting for to perfect our tohave to improve our submission before Allah subhanaw taala? What are we waiting for? The angel of death to appear? Don't we realize how vulnerable we are? How we are how incapable we are? I mean, every day, what is it that we realize that we're so pathetically weak? Really we are. We don't even have control over our bodies.
We are helpless before our bodies.
Something could be upset in your stomach in your head. And you cannot figure out what it is. If you could you would tear your stomach open and fix it yourself. But you have no idea what's going on inside. You're so weak and helpless before your own body.
And in the earth in general. I mean, think about it, what is beneath us? What is beneath us under the soil under all this rock? What is there? What is in the core of the earth? What is it fire? Can it not come out of the surface of the earth? Where are we under the sky? And what's in the sky? There are so many things that are dangerous for us. We could finish literally within a second. Have you ever seen those videos where, you know, people are driving perfectly fine on a road and there comes a lot of water and all of a sudden all those cars are just swimming in the water?
I'm sure you've seen videos like that. Think about it. No matter where a person is today. Is he safe? Even if he's in a country like the United States of America, he goes to work or he's in his own house. There are people walking with guns everywhere. You don't know who's going to shoot you where? I mean, we hear these kinds of stories all the time, innocent people being shot at children. Right? We think people who are living in Gaza, people who are in Syria, they are in danger. You know what every single human being that is alive, is vulnerable is in danger. And if Allah wants Allah can protect him. And if Allah takes that protection away from him, call us he is done with what
guarantee do we have that we will be safe? what guarantee do we have? How long do we think we have to live?
What are we waiting for? For amino to the feel secure? Then why are they procrastinating? Why are they delaying? If you think about a Ramadan, I mean, already, we're in the middle of the month.
And I'm sure we had many goals at the beginning. I want to do this, I'm gonna do this. I'm going to do this. Check yourself. Have you been fulfilling all your Ramadan goals? Have you been accomplishing them? Or have you been delaying that? Okay, I'll do it later. I'll do it later. What are we waiting for? Do we have any guarantee that we're going to see read? We're going to see the end of the month we're going to see later two quarter. We don't have any guarantee. Oh my god, I read this somewhere that a man who's sitting perfectly fine at home needs a lot just as much as someone who's drowning in the middle of the ocean and they have no help. So if we think about it,
then we think if things are under control or we think things are under control, there's no visible danger then we're perfectly fine and because of that we start saying things which are wrong and we start doing things which are wrong we start listening to things which are wrong we start watching things which are wrong. We go on committing sin without thinking that something can hurt us right here right now. If nothing external
internal in your heart can finish within a moment.
