			In Sofia Allah's founder Adam briefly retells the story of Abra Ha, who came up from Yemen who tried
to destroy the Kaaba with an army of elephants is a very famous, famous story. But one of the
takeaways from the story or one of the main points comes back to cause and effect at the end of the
day, who gets the final say as to what's going to happen liquorish were completely outnumbered,
there was no chance that they could stand up to Abra his army with his elephants and things like
that they were completely outmatched, outnumbered, outgunned. Yet Yet, who is the one who gets to
decide who wins at the end of the day? Allah subhanaw. Taala is the one who decides right? The
		
00:00:37 --> 00:01:17
			things they are the numbers or the weaponry or the technology. This is just material causes that
Allah has power to Allah created, but who is the cause of all causes? Who is the one who is in
control of all causes, who can intervene and make the causes not work the way they usually work, or
make something else happen? That's Allah subhanaw taala. And so this should give us hope, and it
should make us never despair. Because if if we are right with Allah, then Allah will come to our aid
as well. Now, Sheikh Abdullah always used to give as kind of like a paradigm, the Battle of the

00:01:17 --> 00:01:51
			were hungry, they were impoverished things were not looking good. And yet, what did they do? They
believed in Allah. They took the means which was building the trench and then they relied on Allah
Spano Tata, Allah sent a storm to scatter the break the ranks of the of the ASVAB of the coalition
that have gathered against them. As long as you are right with Allah and as long as you are doing
your due responsibility and your duty, you're taking care of what you can take care of, then we have
to trust Allah wants us to trust that Allah will take on the responsibility so to say or will
guarantee the results
