Taleem al Quran 2012 – P26 264D Tafsir Al-Fath 29

Verse number 29, the end of Surah 12.

In total, we learned the background of the surah when the surah was revealed, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was on his return from her labia, back to Medina 1400 companions had left with the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. In order to perform, Umrah nor Umrah was performed, instead, a treaty was signed, and the Muslims returned not empty handed, but with reward from Allah subhanho wa taala. This experience was very difficult. It was long, it was exhausting. It was emotionally very distressing. However, what we see in the Surah is that the best strengths of the Sahaba were also revealed. It showed how much they loved Islam, how much they loved the Prophet

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and how strong they were in their love for one another. Allah says Muhammadan Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is Rasul Allah, he is the messenger of Allah and this incident of her labia, it proves it because no human being could plan this on his own. No human being could have made this plan that will go for minor pilgrimage, we'll come back with the Treaty and the treaty will bring this in this in this benefit. No, it could not have been possible. All of this could not have been possible by just human planning. No, this incident proved that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was truly a messenger of Allah. When Levina Mara who and those who are

with him, meaning the Companions, the Sahaba, how are they? Allah praises them? He says they are a sheet that are allowed kafele As she the ones who are forceful Island kufr against the deniers, as she the plural of the word should eat and who is studied. One who has stuff severe, strong and firm, meaning he's not weak. Rather, he is strong. He stuff he's firm, it doesn't mean harsh necessarily. It doesn't mean rude. It just means firm and strong and confident. So they are a sheet that oh, I'll go far go far plural of caffeine. And this incident it proved it. Look at how Abu Bakar al de la noir and who was so firm with Ottawa, that wonder Ottawa mocked at the companions of the Prophet

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu did not tolerate it. He responded to him in a very forceful way, in such a way that Urwa was left speechless. Then we see that Urawa as he's touching the beard of the prophets of Allah, where he was Allah, what did the Companions do? One of the companions, what did he do? He stuck his hand off that don't touch my prophet like that. All right, she doesn't want to fall tough and firm and strong

against the deniers, meaning they don't become weak. They don't become apologetic when they're facing those who deny them who reject them know, they're firm and confident and strong. They're not intimidated by the enemy, a sheet that we're allowed to fall Wilhelma Albina home, ones who are merciful and compassionate between themselves with Ohama, plural of the word, Rahim and who is Rahim? A person who shows mercy, a person who's compassionate and kind towards another. So the companions were compassionate to each other. How this incident also proved it. Look at the compassion of the companions when they saw a Buddha on the road Allahu Anhu. Right? That how they

were willing to let go of the treaty, in order to save the life of one of regenda Radi Allahu Anhu. Look at how upset they were at the thought that the machine may have assassinated Earth Manuel de la noir and who is it? What was it? It was their compassion and love for us, ma'am? nobilo and who that led them to take that oath to give that pledge of allegiance to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam rowhammer obey no home, merciful, compassionate amongst themselves, that all home you see them

Rukh Khan as ones who are doing Gurukula or ones who are bowing down suggestion as ones who are doing such the ones who are prostrating rukon plural of rock air, and so jeden plural of Sajid you can see them meaning the Sahaba would be seen performing Bluecore and performing sujood when is it that you see somebody doing something that is supposed to be very private I mean prayer

Something that's meant to be very private. But seeing them performing prayer, what does it mean? That they don't just limit it to a certain time and place? You see somebody doing something meaning they do it all the time, no matter where they are, no matter where they go. They're all home. Look on SuperJet when you see them busy in prayer, they're humble before their Lord begging him for his aid, striving for his pleasure. Yeah, but the owner they seek foglia min Allah He bounty from Allah meaning his reward. What Ilana and his ultimate pleasure, this is their concern, seeking Allah's funnel and his Ridwan. This is what what drives them what pushes them to keep going and never stop.

This is what motivates them to spend their time in ReCore. And in sujood, seeking Allah's favor, seeking His approval. Allah says Sima home their mark, see Matt from the root letter as well seen me wasn't what summer is to brand something to put a mark on something. And Sima there mark, visible mark as a distinguishing feature.

Allah says, their distinguishing feature, meaning a mark by which you would recognize these men is what? Where is this sign the distinguishing feature? In his fee? Would you hear him? It is in their faces? You would recognize them to be the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, how? Just by looking at their faces? What is that distinguishing feature? What is that Seema by which you would recognize them? It is on their faces, men fit sujood men from a thought effect or trace of A sujood of the prostrations. Meaning their faces show that they regularly prostrate

their faces show that they are holy men, that they are devout worshippers. This does not mean that they have a mark on their foreheads, that shows that they prostrate a lot. No, it could be, it could be meaning this could be a part of the schema. However, it's not limited. The Sema, the distinguishing mark is not limited to the mark on the forehead.

Because sir Ethan debate he said that the SEMA here refers to I thought was

the effect of spending the night awake.

They spend their nights awake when you see somebody in the morning, and you see that their face is fail, basically. Right? Why is it fail? Is it because they've been? They've been sleeping the whole time? No, you recognize immediately this person did not sleep well. Now, some people spend their nights awake, doing certain things for pleasure. And then there are some other people who spend their nights worshiping Allah subhanho wa Tada the Sahaba they will be recognized by the fatigue on their faces, the fatigue, the tiredness, the paleness the lack of sleep, the humility, the effect of worship was visible on their faces. See Maham fee would you hear him? Min SR is sujood. Allah says

that Lika that is what is the description that is mentioned over here that they spend their time prostrating and worshiping Allah seeking His pleasure, so much so that you could see the effect of that on their faces. Their faces don't reflect a person who has been indulging in their desires, fulfilling their passions know, their face has shown that this person is a hard working individual, busy striving for Allah sake, striving for his approval. So that is Martha new home, their description Fedora in the Torah,

in the Torah, this is how they are described. When Martha new home and their description fill in Gili in the Gospel, Dora the book that was given to Musa alayhis, salam, and Injeel the book that was given to rissalah his Salaam. So there example in the Injeel and this shows us that the Sahaba were described in the Torah and in the injeel.

Their example in the Injeel is Kezar in is like a Zutter. What is that or is a plant a crop that is planted? What kind of a plant that is planted, meaning a seed that is planted and a Hajah? It produced

Is shuffle a who it's off shoot shot from the root letter stream for Hamza shuffle is basically what emerges from the grain first meaning a seed when it sprouts the first thing that you see coming out that is shot, the shoot or the sprout that is shot. So like a Zutter that was planted. And when it was planted, what happens? It produced it's shoot, it's off shoot, but then it doesn't stop there. What happens for Zara who, then it strengthens it

as Allah Hamza, ze Ra, remember or should be he as re Musa an Islamic dua that through my brother who should be as re strengthen my ability as right, meaning Give me strength through him. So as Allah meaning strengthens it,

meaning as, as the sprout, it grows, what happens at the beginning? Yes, it's very feeble. It's very weak, but gradually with time as it grows taller, it also becomes stronger.

Isn't it? I mean, the first shoot, how is it it's so soft, so delicate, you could almost ruin it just by touching it. But then with time as it grows taller, it also becomes stronger as a whole. Then faster lower, then it becomes thick

is stone lava. Rain lamb, what

is the Halawa? Rain lamb Wha What does that mean? When something becomes thick, meaning the plant grows firm. It becomes thicker as in the stem, the trunk, whatever it is, it becomes stronger and firmer. And then it grows leaps. It has so many branches for STEM Lola so much so that first Dawa, it becomes straight. Isla Suki upon its Sook upon its leg. Sook over here means the stem or the trunk. Alright, sock from the same root sock is used for leg. So the leg of the plant is its trunk or the stem. So first Allah Allah Suki faster. Well, what does it mean when something becomes balanced even, it straightens up. In other words, it's able to stand on its own, it can stand on its

own.

It's not easily broken. It's not easily, you know, walked over No, it can stand on its own Festiva Allah soupy

and when a plant grows big and strong, and it can stand on its own, then what happens to those people who planted it? You're a job Azura your Jubu It amazes it pleases from urge binding but

it's to find something amazing surprising, but remember, it is of two types. One is to find something strange and then reject it. And the other is to find something strange as in be amazed, be happy, be surprised about it. So you're Jubu It amazes it pleases Azura

the source, the raw plural of the word Zed here, who is Zed here, the person who plants a seed who grows the crop, who puts the seeds, your job as the raw, the raw are amazed when they see the grown the fully grown plant that this is what it has grown into. It started with a seed and now it's a huge tree. Your job was Aurora.

But the same thing, Leah Lila. So he causes anger he enraged his behavior through them. Them as in the plant the crop, who gets enraged by the crop? I'll call Farah, the disbelievers the deniers, it's obvious the crop over here in this example in this parable is referring to who the companions and who is the cultivator, the farmer, it is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

Think about Makkah, how many people were there who embraced Islam? Just a few. How weak they were, how few there were. But what happened as they migrated to Medina, how their numbers grew, their strength increased. And now when they had come to perform Umrah did that anger the Moroccans? It certainly did. Because these were the people whom they had exiled from Makkah, whom they had persecuted to such an extent that these people had to run away from the city of Makkah from the Most Holy Land. Some had to run to embassy

Do others have to go to Medina and now 1400 of them are coming to Makkah to perform Allah. Leah Lila became one COFA it angered them was sticking so much and it was this anger that made them stop Muslims from coming into Makkah that did not allow them to let Muslims come and perform Umrah. Lea Heba. Beeman. kuffaar Allah says, Where are the Allahu? Allah has promised Alladhina amanu those who believe what Camilo slyly heard, and those who do righteous deeds, men home from them, meaning from the people who believed in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Allah has promised them Melfi rotten forgiveness, what agilon are Lima and a great reward. This is what Allah has promised them.

What you see in the world, the success that Allah has given them is just the beginning. There is more to come in the hereafter. What do we see in this ayah the qualities of the Sahaba are mentioned. They are praised over here and at the same time the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is also praised. With regards to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is mentioned as the messenger of Allah and the Zarya, the one who plants the seed with respect to the Companions, how are they described? First of all, their dealings with people are mentioned with people how are they?

Those who deserve firm treatment, they are firm with them, I should die or they'll go far. And those who deserve compassion than they are compassionate with them. Little hammer Albina home

rowhammer lubaina home what does that show that they love and support each other?

This is how the companions were their love and their support for one another was very strong.

And the incident of her labia proves it very beautifully. Look at how they all came together, giving the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to fight in retaliation for whose blood or a spinal doula Horne who? And remember the circumstances, it wasn't easy. They weren't equipped for battle. They were exhausted from the journey. But why were they angry? Why were they ready to fight in whose defense in retaliation for whose blood whose life of their brother? It was compassion and love for us man of the long run? Who that led them to despair.

I think we should ask ourselves, would people pledge like something pledged their lives basically, if it came to our safety? And if we were, you know, harmed in any way? Or possibly that here we need to think about ourselves that do I love the believers? Do I value their lives and their honor?

Does it bother me when a believer is hurt somewhere persecuted somewhere? Or do I think well, it's their problem? At least it wasn't me. I'm okay because I'm in Canada. I'm okay because I am like this or I am like that. No believers are little Hama, Albina home compassionate towards each other, they feel for each other. So if a Muslim is hurt,

his rights are infringed upon. It bothers the other Muslims. I mean, if you think about it, the Sahaba who had come from Medina to perform Umrah were going back with the treaty and that allowed them to return the following year and perform Allah. They could have been selfish over here. But they were willing to let go of that, in order to save a boo jungle of the long run.

They were willing to let go of that, in order to save the lives of the Muslims who were being persecuted. They weren't selfish. They weren't concerned about just their own benefits. They were concerned about the entire ummah.

They were concerned about the entire community. Guru Hama Urbina home the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, that the example of the believers in regard to mutual love, affection is that of one body. When one limb aches, the entire body aches, the entire body feels it, when one part of the body is hurting than the entire body. What happens to it? It begins to suffer with fever, isn't it? The infection is where perhaps just in the eye or the ear, but the fever is experienced by what? Just the eye or the ear? The entire body?

Isn't that amazing?

This is the example of the believers. So the Sahaba they live this Ruhama Avena home.

Then we see they are described in their relationship with Allah subhanahu Atharva how are they that all homebrew Karan suggestion? Yep, the Hoonah foglamps Allah He would Ilana

they're humble worshipers seeking Allah's approval, so much so that you could see it on their faces.

So in essence, how were the sahaba? We see that one somebody asked

an individual that did the Companions ever laugh? Did they ever laugh? And he said that yes, they did. And he went on describing them. And he said, for either can, Elaine can aura burn, and

yes, they live normal lives during the day. But when it was nighttime, they were like ascetics, they were like hermits, people who seclude themselves from the community, and they just busy themselves in the worship of Allah.

Now what happens is that if we worship Allah by night, then what happens to our days? We must take the day off, because we were awake for an hour or two or three. Therefore, I have to write my day off were the Companions like that. Know that all whom look current Superjet and yet the Warner for them in Allah He would Atlanta, so much so that their faces showed the fatigue, but that didn't make them lazy by day. That didn't make them sleep all day long. No, you know, the Sahaba they're described as photo Sanan been a while. Bannon belay, they were soldiers, horsemen during the day active, actively striving in the way of Allah. And by night, they were Robin, they were raw hips.

Raheb remember, ascetic, someone who's busy worshiping Allah. Their days were spent in productive work and their nights were spent in seeking out the pleasure of Allah. In worshiping Allah.

Allah says in the Quran kalila Mina Layli Maya had your own. They used to sleep very little in the night. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the best prayer after the five daily prayers is which one? It is the night prayer. In Hadith We also learn that the honor of a believer the real honor of a believer shut off all Mothman is in what in Fiamma lay. In praying in the night. One of the first things a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam thought when he came to Medina was what? That pray in the night when people are sleeping. Amongst other things, he also said the pray in the night when people are sleeping, and you shall enter Jannah with peace and security.

Praying in the night, this is the way of the righteous.

Praying in the night is the means of drawing closer to Allah. It is the means of earning forgiveness.

And remember the Hadith in which we learn that may Allah have mercy upon the man who wakes up in the night in order to pray, and then he wakes his wife up also. But if she finds it difficult, then He sprinkles water on her face that wake up and pray. And then she does the same, that she gets up in the night to perform the prayer. But if he's sleeping, her husband is sleeping, she wakes him up, he's finding it difficult. She sprinkles water on his face, helping each other to wake up in the night in order to worship Allah.

So if Allah has given us the opportunity to worship Him in the night, that we should feel privileged, we should feel honored, because Allah praises the Sahaba for this,

that our homebrew currents agenda and so much so that the effect is visible on their faces by day. And life doesn't stop just because they're worshipping Allah at night. No, life goes on. Our problem is that we have limited the night prayer to just the month of Ramadan. So when the month of Ramadan comes, we want our nights to be spent awake and our days how sleeping, no work, no school, nothing at all.

This is our problem. The Sahaba worshipped Allah with consistency. The AMA Lane was not just reserved for the month of Ramadan. They did it even when they were traveling. They did it even when they were in battle. You see, why would a person wake up in the night? What makes you wake up in the night?

If you think about it these past few nights, perhaps what is it that forced you to stay awake at night and make dua or read Quran or perform Salah what makes you do that because you know that these days are few they're numbered. And these nights are very, very special. Right? They come only once a year. And if you get Laila to other than it is better than 1000 months, and if you make dua, that inshallah those dollars will be accepted, isn't it? We value this time. This is why we sacrifice our sleep.

But you see, for a believer what time is valuable the time that he can spend with his Lord, just him and his Lord. And that is not limited to the

month of Ramadan. That is possible anytime during the year. This is why we learn that Fidel bynner el, he said that when the sun goes down, I rejoice. When the sun goes down, I am delighted. I liked the darkness. At that time, there was no electricity. So when the sun went down, that meant everybody, you know, retires to their own beds, right? So he said that I am happy. I'm delighted with the darkness. Because finally I can be alone with my Lord.

And when the sun rises, that saddens me, because now people are going to come and bother me. They're going to come and interfere. They're not going to let me speak to my Lord. They're not going to let me worship my Lord. This doesn't mean that he despised people. It just shows his perspective on the night and the day.

He looked forward to the night, because that was the time that he could spend with his Lord, and the companions. This is how they're described over here.

Then we see that their description in the total is mentioned. How is it that the Sahaba were described in the Torah, that Seema Humphrey, would you hear him? Minetta? Is sujood? This is their description in the Torah? Do we find it in the Torah today? Something like it. In Deuteronomy 33, verses two to three, we learned that he came with myriads of holy ones from the south.

He came with myriads of holy ones, holy men from the south.

From his mountain slopes, or at his right hand, there was flashing lightning for them. And this has been translated in many different ways. But what's understood is that flushing lightning, this refers to the law that was given to these holy men. Surely it is you who love the people, all the holy ones are in your hand, at your feet, they all bow down, and from you, they receive instruction. So how is it that they're described? Holy men, those who bow down? Right, those who receive instruction from WHO? From the Lord from Allah? Yep, the horn of Outland mean Allah, He will Juana

and then their description in the Injeel is also mentioned, what is their description in the Injeel, like a seed that is planted by a farmer, and that seed it grows into a plant and the gradual development of that plant has mentioned that how initially, it's just one tiny sprout and then it grows stronger and taller and firmer, until it can stand on its own.

And in the Gospel of Mark, chapter four, verses 26 to 28, it has mentioned this is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters a seed on the ground, night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up the seed sprouts and girls, though he does not know how, all by itself, the soil produces grain, first the stock, then the head, then the full colonel in the head. And this is known as a parable of the growing seed.

So here, what do we see that how the profits on Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he just planted the seeds and the sahaba? What were they like, like a fully grown plant? You know, it's amazing, how within a few years, look at the strength of the companions, how Allah subhanaw taala bless the efforts of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, one of the authors he has described the Sahaba as a nursery of heroes, you know, a nursery a place where plants are you go and buy flowers and different things from there. He said that they were like a nursery of heroes, planted by who, by the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Each one of the companions was a hero in his own right.

Look at how each and every companion went out in the way of Allah, and how much he did for the sake of Allah.

At the end of sort of Muhammad, a warning was given and what was that warning that if you turn away, Allah doesn't need you. Allah will bring another people it was like a warning and remember when sort of Muhammad was revealed at the beginning of the medina era, so the father was revealed five or six years after that, what do we see the companions with time? Did they grow stronger or weaker?

They became stronger or weaker, stronger.

Did they progress or did they regress

progress right

We need to analyze our lives also.

That with each difficulty and hardship that comes my way, am I improving?

Am I progressing in some way? Or am I regressing? What's happening to me? We can complain all we want. Well, the past few years have been very difficult. This has happened and that has happened and that has happened, we can come up with a whole lot of excuses. If anyone had excuses. It would have been the Companions because they were being constantly fought against. But Allah subhanaw taala testifies to their growth and their development and their improvement, that how they were like a seed, and now a fully grown crop.

It's not our hardships that hold us back. Know, hardships are meant to strengthen us.

They're meant to make us grow.

Difficulties are meant to take us farther ahead.

They're not meant to bring us failure.

The Sahaba grew with their difficulties and we need to see what's happening to me

was life difficult for the sahaba. Was it difficult? What difficulties did they experience? Think about the first few years in Medina. Tell me some of the hardships that they experienced?

I'm asking you it's not a rhetorical question.

Yes.

Okay. They were constantly facing battle. What else?

Persecution, okay. What else?

They were homesick. Alright. Many of them had come from Makkah. Or what? Financially where they struggling financially?

A lot. Yes.

Hunger.

Because whatever they made whatever income they had, it was basically going in what warfare? whatever resources they would have, they were depleting in fighting back the enemy. Right. When you look at the life of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe. Salam, any emotional distress? A lot. loss of lives? I mean, the battles of brother and are hurt. What did that mean? Many loved ones were lost,

isn't it? Many loved ones were lost.

So if you think about it, the six years in Medina weren't easy. Not at all. But despite all those difficulties and hardships, what happened to the sahaba? They improve they increase the developed so much, how is it that a person can grow with hardships? How, what do we see in this verse? Firstly, we see that the Sahaba were not selfish people.

They were concerned for others or Ohama. Oh, Boehner home. What happens is that when we are sometimes experiencing some difficulty,

we're only looking at ourselves. We're only concerned about our problems

that the Sahaba live like that. No. In fact, they forgot their own problems in taking care of others. Remember the incident where some people were guests of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he sent word around to his wives asking if anybody had food, nobody had food and finally, when companion took them home to host him for the night, right? He took them home, and he found out that there was just enough food for him and his family. So he told his wife that put the children to bed, right? And then feed the guests and when

We'll pretend that we're eating. That's what they did in the night they were hungry. And Allah mentions that in the Quran, wallow cadmium Kasasa. They prefer others over themselves, even though they themselves are in extreme hunger, they themselves are in need, they will give preference to others. So the first thing we see in the Companions, what made them successful, despite all their hardships was what? Their concern for others. They weren't selfish. Their eyes were not always upon themselves.

They were concerned for others.

Another important thing we see over here is how they sought help from Allah.

When in the night, not just in the day, not just in front of people remember me in your prayers know, in the night, because you see our hardships, our difficulties, they don't allow us to sleep comfortably, isn't it? So when our sleep is disturbed in the night, what should we do? complain about the lack of sleep during the day? No, get up and ask Allah get up and ask him worship Him in the night.

And we see these two main qualities of the companions being highlighted over here, concern for others, and seeking Allah's Ridwan

by spending their nights in the worship of Allah. And this is what made them successful,

even though everything seemed to be against them. So if we want success, then we have to follow the example of these people.

Concern for Others, and seeking a last panel TARDIS help.

Anything you'd like to share? I remember in the journey of faith conference, Sheikh Mohammed Al Sharif mentioned that he had a theory to test with us. And he asked the audience member how many of them were here first. So the whole fuss, they raise their hands in the air? And then he asked them, How many of our one or both or keep your hands in the air if one or both of your parents prayer, bam, and all of them left their hands in there. And he said that just shows you know, so I remember I was there also he asked the people who were who falls that Do your parents pray pm and almost all of the who fall they said yes, our parents pray PM.

You know, if you want something in life, you got to work for it.

You have to work for it. And part of working for it is making God to Allah, asking Allah in the night and these special night honestly, whatever a few nights we have left, please, please make dua write it down. Write down what you want to ask Allah subhanaw taala for, you know, last year, this is something I want to share with you because it's a very, Inshallah, it really motivated me. Last year, I had made my doll list for the month of Ramadan. And amongst the things that I was praying for, and I remember this last night, was a new building for Elijah.

And I, I was shocked. I was like, you know, yeah, I'm a dork but who am I? You know? Yeah, you make the new building for alHuda Yeah, you know, it's, it's a massive project. All right. It's It's not cheap. It's expensive. It's a lot of hard work. But I did what I could. I just made doll and it's amazing how this month of Ramadan we're all working to inshallah move into that building very soon. expand into that building very soon. We already have the keys Alhamdulillah. making dua is part of seeking out what you want. You have to have to ask Allah for it. You want to read more Quran? Ask him.

You want a good Quran teacher? To help you recite Quran better? Ask him. You want good company for your children? Ask him. You want to do something useful productive. Ask him. Ask him. This is part of becoming successful. Success cannot happen without Allah's aid. And part of getting Allah's aid is what that you have to ask him for his aid. And that is what the Sahaba did. They prayed to Allah. At the beginning of when Islam first came, that everything was completely different, like the way they slept. And after Islam came after 23 years, every single thing that was conducted by the Muslims, it was all controlled by what Allah subhanaw taala had to say. So like, if you get onto a

camel, if you have to go for a ride, then there's a dua for if you need to go to the washroom, you have to go in with your left foot like everything was controlled by change. Yeah, it's life teaching. And it just shows like the amount of sacrifice that the Sahaba had to do for like Islam. Especially because

As for them, it was life changing. Yes. It was such a big transformation. You know, for us. We've been hearing these words from childhood. You know, so for us, it's like, yeah, this is one of the things I have to do. You know, I'm supposed to do it. But for the Companions, it was leaving their old ways. Right. And then developing new ones, Silla Malika, I want to share something like, the same thing happened to me last year. I wrote a list I think 10 things I wrote. And not only I pray at night, but every single time I on the road and everything. Some of them it was like logic, it was not even logic. But I see, you know what, ask And subhanAllah I don't know how many things that

happened for me. But one thing happened was the most important thing. And I didn't even care the rest. I didn't even think about it. Because I asked him means to go anywhere. I never said I want to go Emre never said I want to have money, I don't say I wanted this. And this I ask, means to call Emre. And that's all I concentrate that year, and Subhanallah it happened and I went and I come back. So whatever you put in your mind, it may come late or early, but it will come for sure.

A lot of the times when we want to work on ourselves, we say we have to seclude ourselves and just, you know work on ourselves. It's probably not something that always crosses my mind that I should spend less time helping people and just work on myself. But then Allah says that the Sahaba they spent the nights working on themselves in the daytime is helping people. That's true. Because Rama or Boehner home if you want to be compassionate and kind towards somebody, you got to be with them. So in the daytime, they helped others and in the night they worked on themselves, said oh my god, we were just talking about how, you know normally we give these excuses that I need my eight hours of

sleep, right? If you have an exam the next day, if I don't sleep, how would I you know, focus and whatnot. And I think that's the beauty in Ramadan, right? That, you know, you go through these hardships and you're forced because you can't you can't sleep eight hours. It's hard if you're praying and when you go through it after you're done. Like a lot of us had classes a lot of headaches exams, when you're done the exam. You're like, subhanAllah I did it right. It's possible. And so when sometimes you know when Allah thrust us into those positions of hardship, then you really come out saying that oh Subhan Allah it is possible. And if in Ramadan when we're fasting for

so many hours and we're doing TM and reciting Quran and we're doing exams going to work, if we can do that in Ramadan, then of course we can do it during the rest of the year.

Salaam Alaikum. I'm talking about dua right? For me, like 100 Allah, all my daughters have been accepted all my doors, like specially for the US for food. Food is something so important to me And subhanAllah I only think about think about what I want to eat. And it's in front of me, for instance, yesterday like I'm a teacher, right? So I got a lot of presents, every president had a chocolate and haven't been able to eat those because Ramadan, everyday my kids are eating those that I'm looking at them thinking when am I gonna eat them? So yesterday in the lobby, I'm sitting and I'm thinking about the chocolate, I want to go home and eat. And there's donation, Euro fundraising

going on? I'm like, oh my god, am I gonna get a chance to go home and eat? Or do I have to go to Alpha route from here, and I'm really thinking about it. And subhanAllah in front of me, there is a box of chocolate, you know, quality sweets, I love those as well. And my eyes lit up like Subhan Allah like, I don't even have to make dua. I just think about it, and it's in front of me. So the lady was so shocked as well, like, why am I so happy about this chocolate, but I was grateful. And the biggest reason is because I always tell the last one that you know, I don't ask for it, but I get it.

You can get what?

Allah is very generous. We don't ask him enough.

We complain and we are upset and we are sad. We don't go to the source from where relief comes.

The Sahaba went to that source.

And that is why they were successful. Slow.

When people come to know that a very important personality is coming. People want to meet him, people crowd around them, they wait for us to go and see him and here last minute Allah created. He says in Hadith we'll see that he comes to the lowest sky every night. And he says who will seek forgiveness? And who will ask what they want for the minutes every night. But how many of us turning to him at that time?

Who was sick so that I will cure him? Who was it that was provision so that I will give him who wants forgiveness so that I may forgive him? Every night?

So panic alone will be handed a shadow Allah ilaha illa Anta stuff Itokawa to Lake Cinnamoroll eco rahmatullah wa barakato.
