So this will handle learning overnight. I mean,
along Sunday we'll sit down with Eric. I'm a Bucha. I mean, so you
didn't have you didn't mind. Well, that. So thank you all for
participating and coming. This originally was supposed to be a
lecture that is done, I believe monthly here in Cairo where I am
right now, in Medina, that's put on by some of the students of
knowledge in here in Cairo. We're supposed to be there in person,
actually, originally tonight, and then we'll change it tomorrow
night, but due to the current circumstances, so it's going to be
online and we opened it up for others who are interested. And the
original topic was supposed to be
from Iman to excel, which I think is actually very apt and
appropriate, considering the current circumstances
of a worldwide plague, as it were, or worldwide. Tar will.
Corona Coronavirus. So, what I would like to do
is share some thoughts about that and then maybe talk a little bit
more about the main topic, which I think is related to,
to or human to asset.
So there are some Hadith from the prophets I send them specifically
about the situation we're in. I think one of them ones that I
think are most appropriate is the one that Isha the wife of the
Prophet Sarson relates
where she says
so that was sort of I sort of set them on fire when she asked the
province or similar battle to our 1000 means just any sort of war
that or type of
pandemic or epidemic as a word for what all of your laws are send
them and then we can then you battle with law who are that many
are sharp, fragile doesn't matter to me for days I mean, I've done
yoga
for him because of the value of you know if he beta he saw we run
the demo on our own we'll see you know, in Marketo L'Aquila in
Canada or Mexico or just Shaheed
so when she asked the province RSM about this thought ruin, or this
pandemic, the prophet of God, sorry, send them informed her that
it used to be a type of punishment that Allah would send to him he
wishes
aluminium ship, fragile little rock with meaning, so a lot
smarter than mediate a mercy for the believers. For at least I mean
Aberdeen, there is not a servant of God yet Darwin that Darwin or
the pandemic comes to them or their area of humanity, Alfie
Beatty, so they stay in their city or in their house, saw the run
with forbearance with patients, Dr level and then you'll see in the
market of Allah, knowing that nothing will come to him except
that which Allah has decreed for him or her in Canada who miss
LuaJIT Shaheed, except that they will have the reward of the
Shaheed they'll have like are similar to the reward of the
Shaheed or the one who is martyred. And other hadith is said
and multiroom. Shaheed the one who actually dies from a type of
plague or pandemic, also, not also but is considered to be a Shaheed
whereas here it says they have a reward similar to the Shaheed so
your understanding is not that they die from it was a ceremony.
But if it comes to that particular area, then they have the reward of
the Shaheed, but with two conditions, at least one
young, crucial female lady. So to remain in one area, because
there's other Hadith had mentioned, if you ever hear of a
plague or a pandemic somewhere, don't go to that area. And if it
happens where you are, don't leave that area, if you are doing it, to
run away from it, if there are other reasons for travel, they
said there's legitimate reasons for if you have a sick parent that
you need to go to or something like that. It's different. But if
you're doing it for Iran, right, if you're doing it to run away
from it, then that is what is the province are selling prohibited.
So the first condition for mobility, so to stay to remain in
your city or in your house, and then the second one, solid Milan
with forbearance. And then you could probably say the sentence
after this German FC area of what saw that I mean, so what's how
does how does one be forbearance and that it's a state of the heart
yiadom We're not relentlessly but who in the market of Allahu Allah,
knowing that nothing will happen to one except that which Allah has
decreed for one
And what really struck me about the words of our profits are
seldom is it called the rough Mateljan meaning that it's a mercy
for the believers and that it used to be sent as an as a kind of a
bath or can a bathroom. Yeah. And in the past, one of the things
that we know about the human family are the home of the Prophet
Muhammad SAW a settlement, which includes everyone, both Muslim and
non Muslim, after the time of the batter after the time of the
coming of the Prophet commissar settlement is that there is no
collective punishment from the last panel. So the things that we
read about in the Quran that happened to previous Oman, to
previous communities and previous nations like that have a higher
than say, mood and Komu, on Route, all of those different peoples of
the different prophets. None of that will come in that way in that
matter to the OMA of Mohamed Salah very similar kind of entity who
will not get along while they will bomb your stuff. And Allah will
not send a punishment to them, and you are amongst them. And we know
that the Prophet SAW said him if he's not amongst us in body, he is
amongst us in spirit, or other when a few komatsuna Allah, I know
that the Messenger of Allah Azza wa sallam is amongst you. And
Allah will not send a punishment with whom you're stuck. And they
are seeking forgiveness. So this, this is what's happening now. To
many, it's unprecedented, hasn't happened. It's it appears in this
magnitude on this scale, since probably the 1918, Spanish flu,
which was some 50 million people perished in that particular
pandemic, hopefully, in sha Allah, that's not going to be the case
this time, and it doesn't appear that's going to be the case, isn't
it later Allah.
However,
the concept is the same. Namely, that this happens every once in a
while, and it is for the believers, it is a mercy for the
believers. And then one might ask, well, then how was it a mercy, it
seems like it's another, it seems like it's a punishment seems like
very negative, and in a matter of speaking, that a lot, he's
exerting His wrath upon humanity, because he's upset with them. And
one may think of it in this way. But I think a more productive way
to think of it is, if you think of the earth, not just its physical
aspects, but also its spiritual aspects, you know, as a kind of a
living, both body and spirit.
We know that in the next life, that the Earth itself will speak,
that Allah subhanaw taala, will cause the earth itself to speak
and speak about the things that were done on the face of it, and
will tell tales and will tell all that was done upon it, both from
good and from bad, from the human beings that natural upon it. And
so there is kind of this almost sold like quality, you know, on a
kind of collective basis, like the Earth is a single organism.
And not just the physical, biological organism, but also one
could say, a spiritual organism. And so when
I think periodically, the Earth will come and say, enough is
enough, so to speak. So, this happens in the forms of
earthquakes in the form of tsunamis, other things, you know,
which is a type of in thought, you know, it's a type of communication
or the speaking to us, of course, Allah subhanaw taala, how old are
the Takahashi, Allah, Allah, the One who gives us ability to
everything. And in a sense, it's like a reset
for humanity, and maybe we were in dire need of such a reset, to, you
know, to go back to ourselves to ponder, to reflect, to
contemplate, to take a step back, to reconsider the consequences of
our actions, both as individuals and both as families, as
communities as nations. And it's interesting that this thing that
you can't really see, I mean, we believe it's there, because the
scientists tell us that it's there, and they can see it on your
microscope. But something that is so small that it can't be seen
with the naked eye,
but yet so potent, that it has brought down entire world economy,
that it has caused people to no longer go to work to longer and
see each other, to no longer travel, to remain confined in
their homes almost in a sense, like prisoners, I think that we
can't even see and yet we, we ascribe to us all of this power.
So what about Allah subhanaw taala? Who was behind all of this?
Who was the one that nothing moves and nothing stays still in the
universe except by His will and by His power and by his Kadima in
laws are shaking out
If he wants something to be done, he will say Be and it is. So it's
a time for I think, reflection, this is something we've heard from
our teachers, from our own spiritual guides that
this is going to be in Charlotte, good thing for humanity, it's
going to be,
of course, we, those who have been afflicted by the virus or have
succumb to it, or we don't wish any of that to happen upon them,
we would not be so crude as to say that they deserved it or anything
in the sense. But in sha Allah, if they're believers, they have the,
the shahada, that they will be like the martyrs, in fact, amongst
the martyrs in the next life, and those who are patient and
forbearance, and remain steadfast in the face of it,
you know, in that pay a sub Rosa, it's just being patient and
forbearing for moments, knowing that in the fall, watch the
opening, and that the release, from affliction and from calamity
can only come by Allah subhanaw taala. And so
one of the names of God is our Cebu. Right. And they say that in
order to get to a level of Sn, which takes us kind of into the
topic I want to talk about from from Eman to xn, is that there has
to be at the hello there so that
that won't take on the divine attributes of God. In other words,
the divine attributes that are applicable for humanity.
Some of them are not applicable for humanity, some of the
attributes of Jeunesse the attributes of magnificence, so
Allah subhanaw, taala, or it could be in Malta, and
He is the great and Motorhead, the one who was most high,
these things are not applicable for humanity. How was your bar our
legit annual crop?
Alcohol, these are these are attributes of Jenelle. And they
say, what's left to unlock. So to unlock means that you
see everything in the universe as digitally or as a manifestation
via your or look, via your connection with these attributes.
And that everything in the universe is merely a manifestation
of that. So nothing has its its own individual independent power
of Allah subhanaw taala such a thing is impossible. Everything
comes from Allah subhanaw taala. And so when we say in the learning
or in either here or on your own, which is what we're supposed to
say, upon a calamity, and that is also the two most events would
call you, in any learning or in
the ones when a calamity performs them. The other ones that say we
are for Allah, and we are returning to Allah. In other
words, we're already in the process of returning to a lost
battle. Tada. So the reminders that all of this is from the last
panel that the reminders that we don't have any sort of power, we
don't have any sort of errata in auditing, we don't have any Willer
intent outside of the with an intent of Allah subhanaw taala.
And of course, before all of this came about before any calamity
that came about, I think if we were asked this question three
weeks ago, before really had an inkling of what was to come, we
would have all said, Yes, of course, we know that.
You know that that's his degree. And we all believe in this. And we
would even affirm that now. However,
if we feel panic, if we feel anxious, if we feel an edge, if we
feel
distressed, because we don't know what's going to happen in the
future, then these are indications that even though we may say with
our tongues, that hold our authority level, or when we're in
the in the Herradura, that we believe those things, but they may
have not penetrated. So he that also means, you know the innermost
part of the spiritual heart, because calmness and stillness
even in the face of these events, would be an indication that there
is some now not just the level of Eman but also a level of accent.
So accent as described in the Hadith of the prophets are so
terrible the luck and like I thought I feel different or often
we rock to worship Allah subhanaw taala as if you see him but know
that if you do not see him that he sees you. So it is a more
immediate,
what we call selfie or Shuddhi. We use words that indicate
physical reception, even though Allah talk that is not physically
perceptible. That's why the Hadith says that we'll look into kuthodaw
worship God as if you see him so you can't see him in the pure
physical sense. But you can see him so to speak with the ball
Sierra, you know with the inner eye with the spiritual eyes, so in
the spiritual sense, and that is that your actions then you
would be informed completely by shahada or by witnessing or a
tasting of Allah's Mercy of Allah is manifesting and all that is and
all that ever will be. And, you know, what did the prophets are
send them say to Abu Bakr Siddiq, when they find themselves in a
similar situation in the cave, when all of the subordinate spend
nothing yet. So all of the things that are considered to be a means
by which one can take proper means to avoid certain calamities. All
of those things have been used up, and there are no left. So what did
he say talking about the city? He said? What do you think of the
third one was with us is Allah subhanaw? taala? Maruka Allah with
30? What do you think about the third one? And in the Quran, that
Allah has an in Allah, man, don't grieve? A loss all data is with
us. So this man here, now yeah means that Allah is with you. It's
an ontological as a as the academics and philosophers would
say, an ontological reality. In other words, it is an existential
fact Allah is with us. There's no doubt about it.
How is he with us?
He's with us in the sense that nothing escapes him, nothing can
go by him, nothing is outside of his knowledge, nothing is outside
of his will. Nothing is outside of his power. So as a result, Allah
Subhana Allah is with us.
Remember, the deal even went on to say that, and many of the other
than that if Allah's knowledge is with us and his powers with us,
and his knowledge and power are technically indistinct and
inseparable from his essence, then that also means that Allah's
essence is with us, of course, without polluting at heart,
without thinking that Allah is actually physically with us or
contained within us. That's not the Muslims. But that is with us
in a manner that is commensurate with the majesty of almost all
time. And this is word of mouth that is secondary was referring to
when he said that every bliss couldn't even or in an hour at
Masahiro for Victor Robbie, he will be sure. He said every bliss
that we can come to find and every beautiful thing come to find, even
though Valhalla in the outward aspect of things, it looks like
many, many things comes in different ways. It comes in
health, it comes in wealth, it comes in long life. It comes in
the form of marriage, and it comes in the form of having children and
it comes in the form of bearded lady Dane and being good to one's
parents. These are all manifestations of bliss and
beautiful things in life. But they returned to one thing really at
the end of the day.
For the lobby he was shocked at, it's by being peaceful. Perceiving
the closeness of God to you, we're not going to even have anybody, we
are closer to you than the carded artery or the jugular vein. And
having a perception of that, all the time, not just momentarily, in
certain ritual aspects of Islam, while we were praying or making
the spear with the CIPA, or we're calling upon Allah subhanaw taala
into and supplication. But
in all times in all affairs, in fact, indeed, in every breath,
having a perception of a loss volatile and all of those moments.
In other words, I wish I had seen him before everything and after
everything and as the power over everything and the one to remove
things and the one to put things there to take them away. And
everything that we see around us and beginning with ourselves.
Then this is type of zolty. Amen. Right. It's a type of more
spiritual, really based or active Eman not just the amount of
listing things to believe in. But an Amen, that is actually
informing every single molecule and cell in your body. And not
just your physical body but your your spiritual presence. That type
of event then is going towards BSN and the prophets are some of them
you will email Islam.
And it wasn't enough that he was asked about Islamic Eman. But he
also talked about this aspect of ESL. So I believe many of our
teachers I think will feel the same way that what is happening
now it's good for the Ummah, it's good for the community. We may not
see it that way right now. But I think if we come out of this,
which we will watch out a lot.
We're going to come out of it in a way where our
man will then have the opportunity to be at this level of accent. And
one of the closest ways to achieve that is sometimes in the masiva in
the calamity, right? A little bit longer to Nafa We hear it all the
time. It's like method set. It's like a proper
But it's true. Perhaps something that you see as dog, as you see as
damaging or hurtful or as negative is now found there's a benefit in
it. And we know that for you to, you know, document that in the
folds of the, of the Mehan of the of the of the trials and
tribulations, there are many, there are gifts. So one of the
things we should be looking out for these days, perhaps weeks,
maybe even months are ahead, that we should be availing ourselves of
these minutes, availing ourselves of these divine blessings. And
these divine blessings might often come in the way of things that are
unexpected. You may have certain realizations, you may
contemplate things and then see, not just by Tasneem, right Tasneem
is acquiescing to things and understanding it. And that's a
very important aspect of the man. But you can also have an aspect of
that essential good, which is Allah subhanaw taala gives you
some insight, some glimpse into why things are the way they are,
and into why things are happening in the matter that they're
happening.
And when you begin to see things in this way, then the Hadith of
the prophets why Selim will start to apply to us, the one who says
adjuvant mean, I'm gonna hook on the hive. I'll be wondering, it is
for the believer that all of his affair is good. So all of her is
good in that he sees or she sees, everything is good, nothing is
outside of the will of God. So how can it possibly be negative, and
it is the way of the people of Allah subhanaw taala and Allah,
that they don't perceive things that happened to them necessarily
as punishments, they're actually seen as opportunities. So
opportunities to grow closer to Allah subhanaw taala opportunities
for tech field zoo, the minimum thing is that it will expiate
those things, if we receive kind of the calamity in this life. When
we go through the files on this life, then we avoid them in the
next, this is called expiation, or textualism. And even at a higher
level, it's not just excluded, remove, it's not exclusion of
sins. But it's also rough. I've done it yet. It's been raised in
Rankin being raised in degree. And we know that there's, there's a
spiritual hierarchy, both this life and in the next. And the
Spiritual Hierarchy. People can avail themselves of that, and no
one knows where anyone is, we don't say we know. But Allah
subhanaw taala knows and Allah subhanaw taala, based upon your
ability, and your you know, if you're from Adelina wetland
fossils, if you from the DNA of Allah subhanaw taala, your laws
paying special attention to you, then these things will come about
to you, these things will cross over you. And you'll come out as a
better believer. So yes, we should be taking all of this step, we
should be following the
the guidance and instructions of those who are experts in pandemics
and epidemiology and in public health and how those things spread
and what we should be doing. So if they say that we should isolate,
and that we should practice social distancing, and we should be
washing our hands frequently, then those are things we should be
doing. And from a fitness perspective, if also we are told
that having joining in groups, no matter how small they are, if
they're 10, or less or more that this can lead to the spread of the
disease, then we take that as a piece of the puzzle, and in Africa
rulings, and then we can say that one should approach them, or that
one shouldn't pray in the congregational prayer, based upon
such things. Because the clip, it's an allele, right?
The, the legitimate
application of what we call tension roba. Right, referred to
as that which occurs repetitively. So then we say it's hard for me to
either, so that which we know based upon past experience, is how
things happen, then we take that into consideration. So if we're
told that if these types of if we come together as a group, there's
a greater chance we're spreading the disease, and so we should
separate them separate. And then that becomes not just a scientific
ruling becomes a fifth ruling. So Allah subhanaw taala told us to
take with a spat, right, he told us to follow the spell. And if you
do something other than that, right, if you say, well, it's for
a law and this piece of the law, and we're coming together to
praise Him and supplicate to him, so we're gonna go to the machine
anyway. Or we're going to have this big gathering of people.
Anyway.
That is akin to making a claim.
It's like saying, I am amongst the elite. I am I am very high in the
spiritual hierarchy with Allah subhanaw taala. So, for me, Allah
subhanaw taala takes away or
puts me to access outside of intermediary causes so I can
transcend the ASVAB and that's a very, very big claim to make. And
even those who were have had it in a while and also Annaleigh. Even
people who have that category. They don't make such claims.
They
also take that step. And the best example of that is our Prophet
Muhammad.
privatised Salam always did that. And in fact, in the Hadith that we
just read, he said, The saw that, right William Kofi Beatty, one who
stays in their house and what was starboard and was Makdessi edger.
On the law, someone who was
looking forward to the edge of the reward with Allah Spano Tata and
this patient in forbearance, this is part of taking the ASVAB,
right, it's part of following the intermediary, intermediary and
intermediaries and the causes that lead to certain thing, certain
things. So otherwise, we're making a very, very big claim upon Allah
subhanaw taala. And that is not something that is befitting of the
servant of God, or the one who was in a state of the or in the one
who was in the state of the asset. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala,
which I love to lift this burden to lift this affliction. For upon
problem, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to spare us its grief, and
spares its tribulation and sparrows, this calamity, and to
give us a sense of its armor, and its benefit, and that we come out
of this as better believers as better Muslims
as better people in the specific roles and play in life. So you
know, this has caused families to, to kind of come together, people
are spending a lot more time with each other in the houses than
they're used to. So much more family time. And while some may
see that as sort of a kind of thing to be avoided, it's a
benefit. And it's something that we should take advantage of, to
get to know our spouses better to get to know our children better to
get to know our parents better to attend to their needs to develop,
you know, more of a, you know, this, this Prophetic practice of
listening, so much of the world is focused on talking and speaking
and putting out a message that we don't leave a lot of time to
actually listen and hear other people and study other people and
see, you know, not just the messages, not just the words that
come out of their mouths, but the messages that sometimes remain
silent within their heart. And you can't really get to a level of
type of relationship with someone like that, if it remains a casual
relationship has to be more of a profound relationship. So it's
ironic that all of the things that cause a lot of California in the
world, you know, the the bars and the cinemas, and the gyms and
movie theaters, and all of those things that cause much
distraction, are closed for now, are canceled for now, the sports
seasons, the English Premier League, the Champions League, the
NHL, the NBA,
and Major League Baseball all either canceled for the season or
postponed so many, many of those things that will kind of we'll
hear
artificial things that really are just passing of time and bring
about an actual benefit. Now we begin to see what's actually
important, what's not, it's the things that remain open are the
pharmacies and the hospitals and the supermarkets, the basic
necessities of people that which they actually need and then we
figured out that all those other things, we can actually live
without them, we don't need them so much. So it's an opportunity
really, it's like a, you know, it's like humanity is fasting. You
know, we're fasting from all of the things that that kind of take
us away from a lost battle data. The only question that remains is
when we break our fast, right, now we're ready to go back to life, at
least some normalcy of it. What type of normalcy you're going to
practice every single person on the face of the planet. So how
long have their, their routine has been disrupted?
Right, because if this pandemic is all over the place, that means
every single person, nearly every single person on the face of the
planet, their routine is disrupted. And that's very much
one of the themes actually of Ramadan, which is coming up. Very
quickly, in less than a month and a half.
The American human of human logic will be showering. May Allah bless
us in that which remains of Rajab, this beautiful month and the next
month of Shabbat in the month of the prophesy center, and also to
arrive the Ramadan. So one of the themes is the disruption of
routine,
which, in the in the books of Tesco, they call it casserole, I
that the breaking of bad habits, so many of the bad habits, we have
an opportunity now to break them because they're just not
available. And it's kind of it's a lot from last time, I learned that
we don't have to depend upon sheer willpower to break them. So no,
no, no, no longer available. They're not even there anymore.
It's not like you have to say yourself, I'm gonna stop doing
this. It's just not there. To begin with. So the question that
remains is I said, when we break our fast, and we go back to a sort
of normalcy, what type of normalcy? Are we going to go back
to? What are we going to choose? Are we just going to do business
as usual? Or we're just going to let this lesson this more or less
than pass without it
You know, availing ourselves of the lesson we should have learned
and the benefits there in or are we actually going to
avail ourselves of the lesson we're going to change our life,
we're going to break the bad habits, we're going to supplant
them with new habits, we're going to have more of a dedication to
having spiritual routines within our day, we are going to bookend
our days with with remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala, to just
begin our day with a remembrance of God even for five minutes. And
to end our day before we go to sleep with the Romans of Allah
subhanaw taala, to get into more of a routine of tending to our
family members and asking about them, and tending to their needs,
and
helping them with their basic needs and other needs that they
have checking up on our elders, you know, those people who can't
be the first in line to get into the supermarket, when everybody
buys toilet paper, are we going to still be checking upon them, you
know, after all of this is over. So, you know, these are things I
think we should be thinking about. And just some thoughts yet, maybe
just some words of advice, use this time,
Allah is giving you a break, he's, he's allowing romantic humanity,
humanity, as I said, to reset itself. And that includes me and
you and everybody else. So we have a chance for a reset, to do things
differently.
I would avoid kind of
being 24/7 on the internet, and just seeing every little update
about what's happening with the virus and where it's going and
what's happening. You know, the 24 hour news cycle, I think also has
kind of led to some of the panicking that is going on, that
really, for the most part should be unfounded. We do with you know,
what they say is best in terms of social distancing, and washing
hands and all that sort of thing. But after that,
you know, the span of worry, is very, very unproductive. And it's
actually very counterproductive to your Amen. You know, there are
three,
the argument say there are three kinds of reactions, or three types
of ways we can handle calamity.
One is called Jezza. So if you if you meet calamity, with Jazza,
which in Arabic more or less means panicking. So it's like losing all
sense of self, in its worst manifestations. Having this
authority about everything about yourself about what's going to
happen, and
just not having a difficult time accepting things that the way that
they are. This is also called it at your own
adolescence to object to Allah's decree, which is actually
objecting to God. People don't realize when you object to what is
happening in your circumstances, or when you feel like you don't
deserve this or shouldn't be you or should be somebody else. That
objection is not just objecting to your circumstances, that objection
to decree of Allah, Allah decided this for you. And if you're
objecting to what Allah has decided for you, in a sense,
you're objecting to a loss.
It's kind of
early stages, we would call that a fraud in the AMA, we would say
that is it is a lack of recognition or rejection of the
blessings that you have that you're in. And in its worst
manifestation, you can just like a disease, you can progress and then
it can actually lead to actual Cofer. Right. And Cofer is
rejection of God. And this is what the police learn a whole lot fell
into. This is what the devil himself fell into. So it began
with him, rejecting the blessings around him he was with the angels,
even though he wasn't one of them. He was amongst them. He was a
blessing individual, at least outwardly praying with them,
supplicating with them. And then when I met her, when a test came
to him, and that test was yet to prostrate before this newly
created creature, our father, Adam, and he sat down, and he
didn't recognize all the blessings that he had. Following them, well,
some of the law he sent me, so then he, he, he rejected the
blessing. And that rejection of blessing led him to rejection of
Allah Spano Tata for refusing to accept his decree and follow his
command. So we don't want we don't want to be in that category. So we
don't want to be in the category of jazz. So just means to panic.
The next two categories are the categories of the believers one,
the first one being Oberon, and the second being more contravene.
And the macabre being those are closest to God, as some of the
automatic said hasenhuttl annual awards. So you have to look at the
good deeds of the abroad of the righteous are almost like sins for
the McCollum for the state of the political game. So for the Mikado
for the abroad for the righteous, they treat their calamities with
Southern with patients. And so they look at things and say, this
is bitter, and it's not engender with me a good feeling, and I
taste the bitterness of it, but I'm going to be the
Asians, right, so there's a little bit of an aspect of the either sub
or to sub sub remains that you are kind of naturally accepting and
patient with situation and not the sub, which means there's some kind
of which means you have to kind of a little bit, you know, push
yourself
and put a little bit more effort to have that patience. This is
hard and Abrar pile, the righteous, the state of the
righteous, the higher state or the highest state is out of the most
routine. And they need calamity like they meet bliss, no
difference to them. They meet it with riddle, they need it with
contentment, because they're not looking to the individual thing
that's happening. They're looking to the one behind it. And so
they're looking to the hawk novelist, Allah, Allah was one of
the Hakama we had the sheikh. Allah's found out he is decreed
this, whether people consider it to be blissful, or people can sort
it to be calamitous. It's all the same for the Mahabharat, for the
one that'll last a long time and 100 a day or the one that's
closest to God, the one that a lot brings close to them, close to
him. So again, then it is considered to be
a blessing in either case. And so he meets or she meets that
particular calamity or, or blessing, whatever it may be
military law. And obviously we all aspire to be like that. Much
easier said than done. But the blueprint or the outline to get to
that is there. If we follow in the footsteps of our prophets or send
them, if we follow if we do the photo ID and then we follow the
sun. And then as mentioned, the head is pudsey, then Allah
subhanaw taala will love us and then if he loves us, then he will
be our hearing and our seeing and our hand when we strike and our
foot when we walk. So this doesn't mean physical
connection with Allah subhanaw taala or physical, he had, you
know, coming to their country or oneness with God, but it means the
oneness of your spirit with a decree of Allah subhanaw taala and
so all your things will be in line with that which Allah subhanaw
taala desires of you and decrees for you from his from his divine
command. And that's the blueprint that the prompts are set up set
out for us. And if we follow it, and we make our hem, we make our
priority and our that our first priority by our single priority.
Allah subhanaw taala then He will take care of all of the other Who
knew, right? Man Giada Hola, hola, hola. Tada humble jar that will
have my lack of ComiCon whoever makes their hem makes that which
they're thinking about the objects of concern Allah subhanaw taala
that all of the other whom all of the other concerns then will be
subsumed and then Allah will take care of all of those other
concerns as long as you are concerned with God, with Allah's
parliamentarian, so we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us of those
people have been and if not, at least,
those are closest to him and to as I said, to lift this trial and
tribulation from us and that we come out of it. Meaning said you
need Hamidi
moody, shallow that we come out of this state of safety and that we
are we in a state of praise for God and that we are praised by
God. That we are the ones who are mentioned to the prophets. I
seldom prophesy sentiments mentioned that our mentor our
daily our our our deeds are presented before him from last
month out in the state that he's in now and if he finds good, then
he praises a line to find something other than good then he
seeks forgiveness on our behalf. So we want our problems are
certain to see the good in us and to to find reason for praise and
to praise Allah subhanaw taala because this is his legacy and a
legacy of his own Well, this community
