Whether in and surely if unlocked now here we make him taste we let him taste rotten Mina, a mercy from Us. And the fact is that every good thing is from who, from Allah, it is Allah's Mercy on us may embody the law after some adversity, that Messiah to that had touched him, meaning a person was afflicted with some adversity from some hardship. And then what happened after that hardship came relief came mercy from Allah and this always happens always, because no difficulty is permanent in this life, no hardship is permanent. You know, even when you have extreme pain, eventually there is pain relief,
alright, you know, either your pain tolerance level goes up or you just get used to it you get numb to the pain, right or some medication somehow works, right, there is always relief after hardship. In fact, in nama I are sorry, you struggle with the hardship is also ease. So after hardship is definitely ease, meaning every episode of hardship eventually comes to an end in this life, it is followed by some ease, the night is followed by the day. And when this happens in a person's life, typically, what happens layer kuleana surely he will definitely say meaning that person says halili this is for me, meaning I deserve it.
I deserve it. I'm worthy of it.
Of course, this was supposed to happen to me, meaning he doesn't recognize it as Allah's favor. He thinks he got it because of who he is. Because he's deserving of it. And, you know, the sense of entitlement, and it's amazing how we really live with the sense of entitlement.
You know, it's like we demand that we have something or we get something in our lives. Why because I am a human being and I deserve it. No, who are we suceed we are needy. So everything we have is not because we deserve it, but because Allah was generous towards us and He gave it to us.
So take it as a gift. Look at it as a bestow, not something that you have acquired yourself.
So late.
And then he says warmer and not alumna SATA. I think that the hour is Emerton want to be established, I don't think the hour is gonna come I don't think there's any hereafter meeting the more freedom he has, the more he begins to reject Allah. Whether in and surely if he says that if Oh god to Ihlara be I am returned to my Lord. If there is a hereafter and I go back to Allah, then in Li indeed for me here in the WHO with him, will be London who SNA surely the most excellent, meaning reward. So he says, I don't think there's a hereafter. And even if he doesn't verbally say it, sometimes he thinks like that in his heart. And then he satisfies himself by saying that you know
what, if there is a hereafter then I'm all good, I'm all set. Why? Because if I deserve it here, I deserve good here, then I will deserve good even more in the hereafter. Because you know, I'm such a good person. I'm so generous I'm so kind I'm so this I'm so that each person thinks very highly of himself. So here, this typical attitude within people is mentioned that how with the blessings of Allah, majority of the people, they forget Allah.
By receiving the gifts of Allah what happens? They begin to forget Allah, like mouth or raka build up become Kareem, oh, man, what is it that has deceived you concerning your Lord who is the most generous? So some of us, you know, they say that it's the generosity of Allah. It's the generosity of Allah, because of which people, they forget the giver. You know, this is similar to how children, when they keep receiving things from their parents, they think they deserve it,
isn't it they start living with the sense of entitlement, and if they don't get the ice cream cone when they want it, the huge tantrum
you understand a huge tantrum. So, we're gonna encourage you to be in earlier in the whole little husana. And in particular, he thinks like this. Why? Because he says, I've lived such a difficult life I've endured so much in my life in the hereafter, certainly I will have a lot of reward. Allah says fella noona be an surely we will definitely inform Alladhina Cafaro those who deny Bhima AMILO of what they have done well and who the conda home and we shall definitely surely make them taste Minh either been Alia
Have a massive punishment.
This kind of attitude is covered. It's denial of Allah. This is not gratitude, and this denial will bring consequences. We see that from Hadith from the Quran, we learned that the believer is patient in difficulty.
And he is grateful in ease, meaning at times of ease, he is grateful he remembers Allah and at times of difficulty he is patient. We see that consistency in a believers life. And that consistency is to come in Alladhina Kaltura, buena Allah. So Mr. Como, that my Lord is Allah and now they're firm on this belief that come visit me whether life is good or tough, whether they get what they want, or they don't get what they want. Their faith in Allah is not shaken, because of the things that happen in life.
Why? Because in the Medina, Kalu, Robin, Allah, Robin, Allah, this is a principle in life. So they live by this principle.
You know, I was reading this article the other day that what guides your life? Is it principles, trends, or fads? Or what guides your life?
Principles are what rules that you live by its faith. And that doesn't change with the passage of time. That should not change with the changing situation in circumstances. That must be consistent. Right? Trends and fads. How are they? Temporary, they come and go.
obedience to Allah should never be a trend or a fad.
obedience to Allah is a principle in life. This is the karma.
Many times it happens that we start doing a particular good deed. Why? Because it's a trend. Everybody's doing it. And then what happens? We stop because why? Everybody's stopping it. Nobody's doing it anymore.
Why did we start it and why are we discontinuing it. We need to be really honest and blunt with ourselves. You know, forget about all this politeness with yourself. Be tough with yourself. hold yourself accountable. be harsh with yourself if you must, because the snaps is very difficult to control. A wild beast is still easy to tame but the knifes is more difficult to tame.
So we need to ask ourselves that if I'm doing something in obedience to Allah, is this just a phase? Is this just a fad? Is it just a trend? What is it It must be a principle in my life that I will abide by no matter where I am, what's going on? Whether I'm at school or at home, that doesn't matter. So a believer in his life he's consistent. This is a stick Alma in difficulty he does not despair, and an ease he does not forget his Lord.
So his obedience is also consistent.
In all states, and in all circumstances, what's his motto? Rugby Allah, my Lord is Allah.
But typically, people lack is the karma. They lack is to karma. They lack this determination. Why? Because we get affected by our circumstances, and yes, they do affect us. But for the person who remembers my Lord has Allah whether the winds are harsh or gentle, then his actions will not change because he's doing what he's doing. She's doing what she's doing. Why because of Allah and Allah is Allah you are you.
You understand, he was always there is there and always will be there. His attributes are eternal, his hikma his knowledge, his right to be obeyed, is eternal. So I am doing what I'm doing with consistency because of Allah. Not because of what is around me or who is around me.
What either and when, and I'm now we bestow favor Allah inside upon men. What happens are Allah Allah He turns away amazing. Allah short favor, and he turned away one
and he distanced be Janee be here with his side.
Allah she showed favor to him and this person turned away showing disregard not giving thanks out about meaning he didn't even give thanks and then when he didn't give thanks what happened not be journey be now known Hamza? Yeah, net E. And what does not II mean? To keep away? Well, whom Yunho Nan who way an owner and they stop others from the profits on Allah.
According to some of them, and they also keep away from him, he an owner, all right, so now he is to keep away. And in particular, this is to keep away from someone or something out of pride.
So now I'll be Johnny B he Gennep site, meaning he moved his site away. In other words, he grew distant from Allah.
that blessing that gift Allah gave, was, in fact, an opportunity for the servant to draw closer to Allah.
But when the servant was not grateful to Allah, because he did not realize that the gift was from Allah, He did not recognize the giver. What happened? He became distant from Allah.
And this is something that we experience with people also.
That when we don't communicate with someone,
then we become distant from them. When we don't thank someone, there's this awkward distance between us and them.
And that distance only grows bigger and bigger as time goes on.
Isn't it? Gratitude? What does that bring closeness appreciation? What does that bring closeness between people. And just being silent, not saying anything, not acknowledging someone's efforts and not thanking them for their favor and help. This is something that creates distance between people. So if this is the reality between people, what do you think will happen to a servant who is dependent on his Lord, and when his Lord gives him a gift, he doesn't thank him what's going to happen? Now Abbey journey, be He? He grows distant from Allah, wa either and when Messiah who shall rule evil touches him, further, who then he is possessor off meaning one who is dua in our lib, one
who is making dua, dua prayer, supplication, that is our real long, long supplications Are you buying raw blood out of this basically us for the width of something.
Right? So ideal prolonged,
very, very extensive supplications, he makes to Allah. Amazing. You see the contrast over here? Gifts, he moves away from Allah difficulty. He keeps making more and more and more thorough. Otherwise he doesn't remember Allah. Allah just gave him a gift. He didn't thank him. But when he was struck by some difficulty, then he starts making Dora. So then why should such a person be heard?
Why should such a person be heard? Because sometimes we wonder, why are my doors not answered? I've been making Dora I made the offer 15 minutes 15 minutes? I don't see any effect of that. Well think about what you were doing before those 15 minutes.
What were you doing enjoying Allah's blessings every moment? But how frequently Did you remember him and thank him? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever wishes that Allah should respond to him during hardship and grief, then let him supplicate plentifully when at ease, meaning when the person is in good times, he should still ask Allah plentifully. Why, because we're cholera, Boo como de Rooney. Your Lord has said, Call upon me, not just when you are struck by some hardship, but even at times of ease. And you know, what? practice does make it a habit every single day. ask Allah for a tangible thing. All right, because generally when we make dua, we say, Allah give me
sincerity. Give me a call, personally. Very good. Give me good o'clock. Excellent doors. All right, excellent doors. But ask Allah for something tangible,
tangible. Like for example, you have to do
30 pages of reading.
All right.
And the font size is like maybe nine or 10. All right. And it's a lot of reading, and it's intensive and extensive. A lot of reading. And you're getting worried that How am I supposed to get this done? How
it's difficult, and especially when you're in such a big time crunch? How are you meant to get that done? So what happens? We start freaking out and we start snapping at everybody and we started rushing through our prayers. No, stop, and ask Allah. Ask Allah, you know, ask him for this tangible thing. That Oh, Allah helped me complete my
readings with comprehension and retention, right? Ask Allah you have to get a lot of cleaning money you have to get a lot of laundry done you have to get a lot of folding and whatever it is that you're going through in your life, you haven't exam anything. ask Allah for something tangible everyday and believe me, you will notice a difference
between you know your present relationship with Allah subhanaw taala and your previous you will see an improvement.
So what either and I'm not alone in Sani Araga wanna be journey be? What either Messiah who shall rule for the DUA in our lead? What's the lesson over here then all of these verses? What are they teaching us?
rectify your relationship with your Creator? How are you behaving toward him?
At the beginning of the surah what did we learn the call of the prophets was that all people first the chemo lie? Right? First a female lie. Make your goal your ultimate goal Allah subhanaw taala set yourselves right, fix yourselves. correct yourselves and be firm in obedience to Allah. So check yourself first the chemo pill or item say Have you considered in Canada or in Delaire? If it is really from Allah, meaning the Quran is really from Allah thermographer to me, and then you have denied it. Then man who is a lot more astray me man than the person who who are he is Fisher Cochran buried in extreme dissension, Chicago dissension. All right. Basically, it's when someone has split
away and is on the other side. And Chicago come very far on the other side, in opposition to the truth. So if the Quran is really from Allah, and it is in fact, and you're denying, then who's at a loss you're suffering, so all people wake up, Sunday Him, we will show them I Tina, our signs, we will show them Our signs, what signs that will lead to the truthfulness of the Quran and the messenger. And these signs we will show them fill out in the NFL, a fact pattern of of the word evoke Hamza cough, and what does it mean?
two meanings. One is distant land, distant land, and the other is horizon. Because when you look at the sky before you not above you, but in front of you. Then right beneath it is distant land land that is distant. Okay. So, Phil alfa, we will show them Our signs in the distant lands, remote regions, and what is this referring to? Remember, this is a mucky Surah All right, and this is predicting future victories of far off places. And that is what happened even in the life of the prophet Sallallahu Adeosun. The Arabs could have never imagined that they would go to war with the Romans. They could never have imagined. But what happened even in the life of the prophet Sallallahu
sallam, there was a battle the Battle of Muda. Right? And then, before the Prophet sallallahu Sallam passed away, in fact, at the time that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam passed away, the army was ready. All right, to go and fight the Romans. And remember that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam also went to the Battle of the book expedition of the book, right. So this is referring to future victories, all right off distant lands.
Allah says soluti Him we will show them we will make this happen. And did it happen? Yes, it did.
Another meaning of Phil Phalke is is to summer signs, miracles in the sky.
Meaning things that people will see that they will witness that they will learn about the sky or in the sky, that will all point to the truthfulness of the Quran. the truthfulness of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I add to summer, yes,
Allahu Allah, actually, because these are somewhat early machi sutras, alright, and the moon was split in the late McCann era, Allahu Arlon. But if that is the case that the pseudo was revealed before the miracle of the moon split, then that is definitely within this category. All right, and another meaning of fill up. The third meaning is future events.
All right, Wi Fi unfussy him and also within themselves signs within themselves, meaning in their own bodies in their own lives. They will experience things that will point to them the truthfulness of the
Quran, the Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala in their own bodies, they will experience things in their own lives, they will experience situations and circumstances that will bring them back to Allah. Fie and foresee him can also be understood as in contrast to the first I have to summit so here it would be I had two signs miracles within the earth, that will all prove hectare, yet the begin until it will become clear law home to them, that under Whole Health indeed it is the truth. What is the truth? The Quran is true, the prophet is true. Allah's message is true, Allah is true. But regardless of all the signs, Allah says, Allah Mia CFI is it not sufficient? Is it not enough?
Birotte Becca, your Lord and know who that indeed he is? Allah Cooney, che and Shahid over all things a witness, meaning whether they see the signs or not? Isn't the truth evident to them? Are they really going to wait and see all these signs so that they can believe?
Or they're really going to wait?
Because is it not sufficient that your Lord is a witness over everything and of your Lord is saying that the messenger is true, the Quran is true, isn't that enough? So what do we see in this ayah, that the Quran is a miracle for all people in every era, guiding to the truth, that over and over again, Allah will show miracles, near and far within people's lives, in tangible ways, as well as in tangible ways. Allah will show various signs that will all lead people back to who, to Allah. And it's amazing, no matter how far people go away from religion, in general, what happens every now and then they realize we got to go back. We got to go back,
isn't it?
It's amazing. And not just religion in general. But going back to a higher being, right? Lord, the Creator of the universe. So these are things that will come repeatedly over and over again. I was taking this class once of religion and pop culture, right. And the first time I read the description, I was like religion and pop culture. What's the connection? You understand? Because pop culture I mean, it's meant to be pop culture. Right? You wouldn't think that there is any connection between the two. But it's amazing how much connection there is that even though people are moving away from religion as much as they want as far as they can possibly go, but religion still has an
effect on their lives. Still, it's a part of their lives. And you'd be amazed all of these movies and things that people watch and read novels and whatnot, even the typical TV series, like for example, The Simpsons, there are so many references to religion, right? Chronicles of Narnia, all right, people read watched over and over so many references to religion. The point here is, I'm not saying that their version of religion is good. The point here is that no matter how much people think that they are in no need of religion, because we have better science, we are more developed, we have cleaner water, right, we have more luxurious lives, we are in no need of religion or God.
No, they will realize over and over again, that unknown help, they have to go back to Allah, they have to refer to Allah
towards a society so because those your religion is your belief and your value. That's why it's so integrated in everything we do in our society, even though we don't realize it. Like let's take the art of our history, for example, like Byzantine art or something, their religion is shown in their artwork even so it's interesting
that it's something that people can never cut themselves off from.
Yesterday, I met a young girl who wanted to become a Muslim, and I usually like to ask them, What made them you know, come to this decision. So she was telling me she was in the library, and she just came across a copy of the Quran. And I was amazed that she hasn't taken the shahada yet, but she'd read so much that when I was telling her that another girl was saying about how she's going through so much difficulty, and I was trying to tell them that you know, when you say that you believe you will be tested, and I said, there's a iron Surah uncovered. And when I was looking at the index, she pointed out the spider right away, and that made me realize that this girl has read
the run so much as one and her face was just kind of glowing with excitement, and surely she wanted to know more. She wanted me to tell
More and you know that I'm just amazed that how despite their lifestyle, how they get attracted to the Quran, Mashallah. And even in, you know our lives, for example, we live a few years full of comfort, no problems, no challenges nothing. Right? Everything's good. There's good money family situation is good. No one got seriously ill there was no disaster, nothing, everything's good. But then what happens fi unfussy him, something happens, somebody gets hurt, somebody falls ill alright or you go through a very difficult phase in your life, somebody loses their job. I mean, these circumstances when they shake us, what do they teach us? Your Lord is Allah, don't forget him. Just
because you've got the money and the phone and the bag and the shoes and the whatever, don't forget your Lord.
So these tests, these trials, these difficulties in our lives, whether they're tangible or intangible, or in, you know, in world politics or in you know, somewhere far from home or, or close to home, wherever, what do they teach us? Every trial teaches us that you are a servant, to a Lord, Who is your master. So don't forget him and know who will help and unquestionably, in the home indeed, the familiar thing, they are in doubt, Milica era be here him concerning the meeting with their Lord midea media is used for a doubt about some clear reality, meaning, you shouldn't be in doubt about that matter. It doesn't make sense that you're doubtful about it. You know what I mean?
Like, there are some things about which, you know, there have been a lot of discussions, a lot of research and now it's understood,
right? Like, for example, if you say that I'm very anti vaccines.
All right. A doctor and a nurse would look at you like, seriously, I thought we were over this.
Right. This was a discussion that happened some years ago, but we're over this. It's a law. You have to get these vaccines. Don't get me wrong. I'm not taking sides over here. I'm just giving you an example. All right. Yes.
Yeah, there are people who deny that global warming is happening. So it doesn't make sense to doubt about these matters because they are a reality. So an inner home fi media team Malika Ibrahim, the problem is that they don't think that they're going to meet their Lord, they're in doubt about it. And the fact is, this should not be in doubt about it. Because who is that person who has avoided death? No person has Allah unquestionably in the who, indeed he became militia in Mohave with everything. He is encompassing meaning he has encompassed all things with his knowledge and with his power. So no one is free from the grasp of Allah.
No one can escape the plan of Allah. So if people do not believe in Allah, or they deny the Hour, then where can they run? Where can they escape? What will they do? So a person's wellbeing and safety isn't what believing in Allah and surrendering to Him, saying God Buddha, Allah, and then some muster camo?
Anything you'd like to share? Yes.
Snow Malcolm, I was just thinking about, you said that we always come back to religion and I was thinking about how our government system is based on what I'm gonna do the one who did during his Khalifa, example, like every month though, mother, she receives a payment for each child who's under 18. And that's why I'm gonna do the harm who did during this in the shape of the welfare system.
So over and over again in different ways, Allah subhanaw taala will show to people that you cannot free yourself of your dependence on Allah subhanaw taala you need him you need his law. Your life will prove it to you. The circumstances in your life will constantly prove to you that you need Allah. That's listen to the recitation.
