Rahmani como rahmatullahi wa barakato
Lau hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Allah and he also had the woman who Allah Habad. First of all, apologize for sounding a little bit late.
But I asked Allah subhanaw taala to put baraka and blessings in whatever time that we have until selected Asia. Today topic is very interesting topic. And it's a topic that a lot of people have questions about.
People sometimes have a struggle with and to understand, and I want to tell you from the beginning, that parts of this topic which is talking about 100, Allah that predestiny, what Allah subhanaw taala have decreed what Allah subhanaw taala have made thing, the thing that he made the thing that he made it happen, the thing that happened to you in your life, there is a lot of these things can be a very mysterious things, you know, and sometimes the answers can be something
hard for the person to comprehend 100% Because at the end of the day, we have to understand something very clear that there is a difference between God and you. There is a difference between Allah and the creation, when it comes to the knowledge when it comes to that wisdom, when it comes to knowing the future, and knowing what is best for you, versus what's best for yourself. We're living in a time unfortunately, we're human being seems added, this has been happening through history. But I think in modern society today, because of the advanced technology that we have, because of the amount of power that we have. And we accumulated, because of the amount of discovery
that we have made. Allah subhana data says, Can in in Santa Yatta, our rock star now, the more Allah shows you from the things that you have made in this world, the more knowledge he gives human beings, what happened to human beings, yet the law turns aggress thing that he knows everything. And he's in control of everything, things that like somebody wrote that day an article said, humanity in 21st century is no need of God anymore. Said I understand people on the 16th century need God. But in 21st century, what do you need God for? We can do everything. So that see because of the amount of discovery or power or advancement and technology that we have today, we think that we control
everything, and we know so because of this attitude, people comes to al Qaeda of Allah subhanaw taala what Allah have decreed upon people, and they act with the same attitude, and say why I basically decide what is best for me, I have to be the one in control with al Qaeda of Allah subhanho wa Taala the decree of Allah take away from you that power, not 100% but to certain amount that you know that you have been, you know, created, and you've been doing things according to the knowledge of Allah subhanho wa Taala and that make you feel like you're not on the top of the world you're not the one who in control of everything, that feeling some that feeling the disbelievers can
take it and that's why they have a lot of struggle with the issue of other but the people have believed the call this faith
because you have the trust and Allah you have that submission to Allah subhana wa Tala
al Qaeda,
the word Al Qaeda
and they use I would like to use the arabic terms because English terms and any words that other than what's in the Quran and Sunnah which is in Arabic would never really translate a word always the word with the new language comes with packages comes with the culture of that language. So when I say in English predestiny you know, when you look in dictionary will look how this commonly used in culture, it will be associated with the culture of the English speaking person. And not necessarily or Hindu, if it's an indeed in Hindi, for example, or if it is in French or it is even if it is in Japanese or whatever language you're going to you might
To use it will always be impacted by the culture that's why it's so important to keep these key words in Arabic and we know what the means either in Arabic language means that something been ordained something been known and planned so I'll other is about knowing something before it happened and I plan for it so adopted amo I plan for something I know about it, and I plan for it. And I'm okay with it.
And that's why I'll either in Islam, it is basically Allah has complete knowledge,
complete knowledge of things before they take place, and willing of all things before the existence.
So he willed everything before it's exist. And also he knows about it. Not only he knows about it, even he documented and wrote it Subhana wa Tada. We're in Milan and Asha Wakita Betula, what era to the Hazara.
Then there is another component, which is another word comes with Tada. It's called AlkaViva.
Abba, you know the word poly, for example, Abba. It means when you make things happen, that's why the judge called copy because the judge listen to what's the every side say, then he said, Okay, the ruling is such an unusual habit. If you said you pay, you're gonna pay, you go to jail. Yeah, it may mix things up. So ABA, it's basically the execution of that plan of that knowledge. So the knowledge of things, the will of Allah for things before it happened, when it became exist, when he makes it happen, that what we call Allah, which is Allah's creation of all things by His Command and well, so when Allah subhanaw taala want to create a baby inside the mother womb, when he wants to create
death, so somebody will die when Allah subhanaw taala want to give life when Allah Subhana Allah decide that this will happen, what he will do he make an order, be a verbal order, a code with Allah wanted now to be existence a well associated with the order, then Allah make it happen, you created it. So that baby will be created that death will take place, that adult will happen, the money will come to you, whatever Allah's want to decide, will take place by the order of Allah subhanaw taala, the Born of a star or the
earthquake happened, whatever happened in the universe or to you it's basically that when it comes to be exist, we call this acaba that's when we put these two words together, Abba, al Qaeda, and I'm not here to speak about terms. And that's something we discuss in a more advanced setting a classroom, but I just want you to understand what's about what powder means. Sometimes we use al Qaeda, and we mean both your clock al Qaeda works and we'll cover well. I say Al Qaeda, I mean both the pre planning and the existence of things, okay?
No doubt for us as a believers, you will not be a movement you will not be a believer until you believe in the concept of a cadet that Allah and here Alka means both Okada and Acaba. So just to make it easy for for me and you, so you will not be a believer until you believe in both.
You believe that Allah Subhana Allah have decreed everything knows everything. He created everything by His will and His orders of Hana without calling the beasts of Solomon Jabril asked him what's the Eman he said to believe in Kedah. And he mentioned something interesting you said the good and the bad. Because some people said the good things yes, Allah did it. But the bad things has nothing to do with Allah.
Or not been decreed by Allah or there is no reason for it to be exist or whatever they might have. No everything happened in this world is basically by the decree of Allah subhanaw taala in Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Lie with me, you know, I had to come out of that you will not be a believer until you believe in four things. And in that we saw Salah mentioned, well, you know, Bill padar Tirmidhi and you believe in Al Qaeda. You will not be a believer until you believe that's why it provided an assignment or the ally and one of the companions when he heard and also something like that similar to the neural model have been our best
When he heard that his people saying, I don't know I don't believe that Allah knows everything, decide everything. You create your own destiny, you know you make your own future you do. Allah has nothing to do with that. When he heard people saying things like that, he said, Wallahi if one of them is spend as much as the mountain have earned for the sake of Allah, it will not be accepted from him until this person believes in Al Qaeda, because that person is not a believer.
That's a serious things you're not going to be you cannot claim that someone is a Muslim animacy believe in the concept of a spider in kulesza in Halacha, habia padar Allah says in the Quran, everything in this world exists today. existed in the past will be exist in the future was made according to a pre planned according to the knowledge of Allah, according to the will of Allah. Allah says Fenter kalimna were hella Ember in order.
When Allah order in the time of Noah, that the rain comes down, and the water flood from the river and the seas he said the to water mitt, according to a perfect measurement, a perfect plan.
So that means everything taking place, it's according to something that Allah knows very well and he decided and as he said, What kind of AMRAAM Nakba year something that Allah have already ordained Allah Allah decide to have Falco ba Hoon sample XML what he made them seven layers of semi what
fader
just a side point
every time in textual evidence Quran and Sunnah the word somewhat comes somewhat plur of Santa
it reference to the levels of the skies and the universe you have this galaxy then another one then another one another one, all what you see is one, the two and three and four and five and six, we have no knowledge of
Okay, so when the word semi what means It means this creation of Allah subhanaw taala which is that the universe and the space that you're familiar with, when it comes to player somewhat, when it comes to the word SMR it means direction
SMR it means up high above things has not been with that actual sky Okay. In English we have a different things we use the word heavens and we heavens sometimes it's used can be confusing, you know the means the paradise and sometimes it means the skies depends on the context of what you use. Anyway,
should we study further should we learn about Allah's decree? You know, in Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi salam said this hadith reports about Bharani and from head to toe ban that inner be SallAllahu sallam said, either look here al Qaeda and SQL when the concept of al Qaeda of Allah was either decreed and whatever he predicts Yanni decide for people on plan for people when this issue comes up with hold
is that means class we can see the Friday night last night and we go home.
I'm sick who don't talk about
Yes, yes, he said that Salah is Allah and also there is another Hadith caught up no Ambassador the Allah under the NABI SallAllahu sallam said in this hadith and have VIP Savings Bank panelizer Lu Amro hottie uma moi ima arriba this ummah, Muhammad nation, Hamza will always be in a good state. As long as mal AMITA can learn more, Phil will Danny will cuddle up.
He mentioned unless they start talking about Al will Dan, which is reference to that
the spread of talking about homosexuality and either the issue of other the issue of al Qaeda.
So irrelevant to him. Allah said this hadith is not to prevent us from studying al Qaeda. But it prevents us from studying this concept in the wrong way. We talk about Allah SCADA in the wrong way. What do you mean by the wrong way? And Whoville bothered Phil Kedah to study it and to explore this world in the wrong way can
be manifested in different ways. Number one,
that first of all, you talk about Allah has decreed and what he planned and what he did made and create an artificial Haleakala look, and this is the biggest problem that exists in the history of humanity when it comes to this issue that they made Allah similar to the creation. So, they basically say they will say, they will see what human do
and they think that Allah subhanaw taala is the same.
So they said, since this is not acceptable from you, it should not be acceptable from Allah, or what you capable off, it will be the case and I give you an example. Some people always argue with me and tell me, how come Allah subhanaw taala knows about things before it happened. So he knows about my mistakes before I make them about my sins before I make them about this person's q4 before he makes the cover or says the cover or do the cover, so That's right, yes. But he will say if Allah knows about it in the future, about the future, how come this is a fair?
Yeah, but the nature of the knowledge of Allah subhanho wa Taala of things that will happen, does not influence the action itself. Any he knows that you will do but yet his knowledge does not interfere with your actions.
Because the nature of Allah's knowledge is different than your knowledge. The nature of Allah knows that he knows the future, what do you want me to be? He doesn't know what will happen in the future, that will take away from him The quality of being God. It just the nature of his knowledge is that way. You don't ever okay, if I know my kids will do that. If I have knowledge, I think I will act this way. That's you as a human but Allah subhanaw taala is different. The nature of his knowledge is very different than yours. The will of Allah subhanaw taala different than yours, the way he creates things different than the way you make things. So you don't ever make that analogy. You
know, I somebody was that I don't think it's the best way. Yeah, who said that you are the standard of saying that this the best way to be done?
Is Allah Subhana Allah, you don't ever make that analogy? Number two, you don't ever speak in the concept of a cada without proof. You didn't say Allah is this? Or is that does that or he didn't do that without knowledge? You don't ever say that? Because you're not allowed to speak about Allah without knowledge. When I talk format, so there can be no, don't speak about what you have no knowledge of. So some people said Allah made this for this reason. What's What's your proof that he made this for this reason?
Who told you that this is the reasons
you might discover something? You say maybe this is one of the reasons maybe this is one of the reasons for this job. But you not confirm that 100% Without proof, without evidence that you have from the Quran and the Sunnah. Also, you don't confirm no negate something unless they have a proof for it. Don't go extreme in negating or confirming, as a new ambassador, the line, anyone will be extreme in the way he or she approached al Qaeda, they will end up leaving faith end up leaving faith and you will see this clearly in a little bit. One of the things that the process was so mad at Sahaba when he saw some of the campaigners as reported by Germany, some of the companions
returned as an entrepreneur, everybody bring a verse one person said, Allah created everything. Then another person said, But Allah says in the Quran, you have your own well and you make your own decision. You know, somebody said no, Ahmad, I may tell you that I might I can you did not through the basically the raw, Allah is the one who did so that means you're everybody bringing like, I'm just giving hypothetical of what can be used as an evidence against each other. And make it sounds like contradict each others. Something else that everything he does, according to his Well, another verse saying that Allah does things for reasons. So somebody said isn't for reasons of wisdom or
because he just wanted
so everybody bring evidence to contradict the other one. That's haram that's entering al Qaeda and a haram way. That's why maybe some of you had the honor to be heard it was into a con, is that what you've been ordered to do to make the Quran contradict each others and this in the content in the Quran and that's not how you should you should always try to reconsolidate to end
understand you and you want us Allah Subhana Allah said
that what happened to you the calamity that happened to you? It is because if your actions
and another verse Allah says, what had the calamity that happened you are shoveling the cassava, it is from Allah. But it is from Allah Allah from me
the battle the wrong way is to say see, there is contradiction. Now, there is nothing Allah subhanaw taala said it is from Allah because Allah knows about it because Allah Subhana Allah willed it to happen, but it because of you it happened because the result of your actions
there is no contradictions it is basically the riq the fit together perfectly and so on another thing that also not allowed to study the product in the wrong way when people start asking why
why why why why have why how why. Why Allah make woman have period
Why didn't just get pregnant with our period?
Why men you know, is this why this wireless why the other made the profit, man? Why is not a female wildlife created only two genders? Why it's not like three?
While Allah subhanaw taala did not I guess there is
people act like gods today want to make their own gender, you know, but why this and people make little this question like Why Allah subhana wa Tada have chose why Allah making us a lot of work for why not five?
Why seven times around the Kaaba, why not six? Why he created seven layers of heavens. This is haram.
That's absolutely haram lives anyway, I may if I do homeless alone, you cannot ask God about his action.
Otherwise, it will be the whole thing as answering every idiots questions, you know, having a question I knew that will be the whole thing. Every person in the world have a question on Allah subhanaw taala or what he does, it's like, you know,
just all the time is basically everybody has whatever question or thoughts it is basically about answering in details everyone
is, in the end of the day, it is your role to try to explore some of these wisdoms, but Allah subhana data in a much higher place to be downgraded to deal with each and every one.
And it is something that you need to understand that Allah does things for wisdom, and for and sometimes
it is beyond your ability to understand this was
as simple as that. Who said that and I'll tell you why in a little bit.
So that's also when they share.
Sorry, but we are learn is to be critical thinkers. We've been told Islam told us to use our brain.
There is a difference between someone asking questions
in the form of objective objections. And if somebody come and ask me questions, because you want to learn Yes, I will answer I'll be gladly answer.
But somebody tried to smart pants. Try to just make you know, fun. Try to like Oh, I'm like, I gotcha, kind of. Now, this person you didn't answer him.
Like once I was teaching course somebody comes in. Why Allah created in Jannah, two people asked the same question two different courses. Somebody said, the person said Allah created in Jannah. And after everybody intergender there is so many empty spots in general. So the people didn't as a job what all these houses and all these beautiful places agenda for it will be said, this is for the people who ended up in hellfire.
If they were a believer, they would have been here.
So somebody said Yes, Chef. What is the benefit of any why type agenda was not just created, according to the number of people Allah knows how many people end up in general. I said because Allah subhanaw taala want to show to everyone that you know what, everyone, you have a space in gender.
Hala, already reserved for your spot and it's your choice to go to hellfire.
Allah wants you to be good. Allah created you to be good. Even he made your place ready for agenda. But it's your choice.
Some great wisdom in it. And I was wanting to tell the believer after that you inherit this place. These empty spots, it's all yours because you believe that they did not. It's a form of more honoring to them. Another person came in a class and said, chef, I said, he said, Doesn't Allah knows everything? I make no sense.
Why would our process Adam said that why would Allah do that makes no sense. See he coming already with objection not. I know that what the process of him said. And I said, oh, there is a great wisdom for it. He said what I said so Allah will see someone like you and your kind will believe in what he says or not.
Allah put things to see what Allah He did not made the numbers of the angels on Hellfire when he said 90 Down in the fitna. He made that number test to see who will believe or not sometimes 19 There is too many kuffaar will go to fire will take care of the 19 for sure. That number was not mentioned for any reason, but to see who will believe and who will not.
So it depends on the attitude of your question. Also another thing is you don't ever talk about data with people who are misguided in this issue. So people who have doubts don't hang out with them don't listen to them online Don't people you know dump their doubts into you when somebody's dad said go to someone who knowledgeable to clear things for you. But for you to vent to each others that actually make you mean haha even Phil Barton, those who basically enter and start talking about this topic in the wrong way in a haram way.
And there is a big subject but what I would like you to understand is the following points. Number one.
The approach to the concept of powder Allah Swatara decreed, usually go to two extreme, one extreme, one extreme, which is historically to happen, denying al Qaeda what that means. They says,
Allah never knew about things until it happened.
So they said Allah didn't know about things and to tap.
or Allah did not create things
that we just said, Allah has knowledge. Allah has creations of things, Allah has ability, other whole Qudra Allah decreed things ability to do thing. So these people said no, he didn't know or he didn't create it. And that happened after an incident took place in early time. And it's not. We're not cat was surrounded by the army of the Mayans. And they use the kettlebells. So the destroyed part of the cabinet and it was burned.
So people said,
had a beat Allah, horrible, the house of Allah was destroyed and burned.
Do you think Allah burned his own house?
Do you think Allah destroyed his own house? Some people said, impossible. So what happened? He said he didn't know that this will happen.
So the idea came from there said he was he trying to protect God from being accused that he destroyed his own house. So he said, God didn't know about it.
He knows about the war, but he didn't know that this will happen.
And there is an idea came and this is usually people who are new Muslims, who comes actually from a background and this is something we explore more academic setting, how in Judaism and Christianity these ideas as actually so rooted in the theology about the God doesn't know things until take place. If you look deeper in Judaism and theology, in these two groups, you will find a lot of these ideas comes from that route. So that idea came popular you know what that distance God from bad things he didn't know that this hurricane will take place. He didn't know that people will die out of it. He didn't create that he did an order that thinking that they will distance God but what they
haven't this trip God from the quality that make him God, which is him created things and knowing everything.
And the other hand, people said, no, no, no, no, this is wrong.
The other extreme
affirm, the pastor said Allah knew about
He
answered, He created it.
And you know what? That became too extreme to the level of the set that Allah he's the one who destroyed the house, not the army.
To the extent my brother and sisters reached to a level that there is some people historically speaking, they believe the one who steal the one who murdered the one who first indicated the one who drink alcohol is Allah is not the human beings
and that's why human beings should be not blamed for any of these actions.
Some people went to that extreme to the extent of an advanced being Kathy Rahimullah mentioned we don't have a man walk into the house you see, a man with his wife was like dating a man
and he was angry she know you're angry.
Should what you doing? She said you became a follower of numbers but men have an ambassador of it. As if you're following them ambassadors, a shame black. She said, now you're following an ambassador. What is that what Allah decreed upon me?
To be with this man? Then he said, ready to be covered Allah, I except Allah has
this idea have taken place to became so popular to this extent.
And if you look in the Quran, Allah Subhana Allah says, when Allah says, give sadaqa they said, why would we give sadaqa to people of Allah want them to make them not hungry, he would make them not hungry.
Our want them to be hungry, Allah want them to be poor, let them be poor.
I heard with my own year in the radio station once
personal theology a person who belongs in Christian theology, saying and talking about how rich people loved by God, why he should because God have made them rich, that's God choice that means he loves them. That's what it is. That's the God choice, and we should love them for that. You love him because he is a successful rich person.
And as for those who are poor or like you know, like not in that level, this is God Well Does God actions you don't object to that.
So you have always this to extreme us as Muslims Sydney's came in the comes in the middle, explained this after that, then
the first thing to understand the concept of hope, I doubt to know that everything happened, the concept of Okada based on four in the following pillars, number one that Allah knows everything. And his knowledge, just keep Yanni keep up with me. The knowledge of Allah is very interesting. Allah Subhana Allah knows what happened in the past. What's happening now in details, everything will not d'escoto me, whatever, even the leaf that fall off the trees, Allah subhanaw taala knows, not knows when it will fall where it will land and what will happen to it of its land. Can you imagine? Just imagine the amount of trees in Houston
mandatories of Texas the amount of trees in the North America and the world that's just one thing.
Every single grain of sand and the earth he knows the number of it where it fall how it came what when it was made.
What on it carried by the wind when it was where it will land in the sea oil in the in the in the something beyond beyond your imaginations?
That's it now.
He knows the future.
That's it know
what's left share the past the present and the future what's left? Allah knows what never happened. If it happened, how it will be. And this is so important.
Something never happened. Yeah. And you were about to marry a person. But you decided to go with B.
You were about to go to this country or this college versus and you know what, choose another career. Choose another city to live in. Allah knows if you lived in that city. If you married that person. If you stayed in that university, what would happen to you? Something never happened. He knows about how it wouldn't be. That's why Allah says in the Quran what I would do the ad to the man who ran this idea Allah give us another chance after death to go back to life to live
Have another life and another chance so we changed the course of our life. Allah says, Now, if we take them back to life, they will go back to disobey Allah. They are liars. Liars. Yes. Because Allah knows if he go, what will happen?
That's why don't ever question Allah said, Why? Because Allah knows why
you might not it's impossible for you to figure every time why. But Allah when he make a decision, all this take in consideration. That's why we believe there is nothing happened in this universe could have been done in a better way.
There is nothing never happened in this work never took place. Ever, we believe that it would have been better if it took place.
Even in the most difficult things in your life.
And you might say, Why doesn't happen in another way, the way that Allah choose for this outcome to come is the best way.
I was saying this sister came to me once and she said chef,
I
loved my teenager in a refugee camp, I was raped so many times in refugee camp.
I was treated so bad.
I was beaten, was taken like a slave. You know, if she told me terrible things happened to her.
Then I ended up migrating to a Western country now where I live. Tell me what's what's so good about me being right, me being
beaten, being humiliated in these camps? What was good about my parents, you know, one of them, at least they saw them killed in front of my eyes.
Tell me what's so good about them?
I said, there is no good in it. These are the actions of the of those monster who did this to you.
But ask the question.
If you've never been to these camps, never happened. The Civil War in your country? Where do you would you be today?
Most likely, where my mom and dad left. I said, What do you do today? She said, I have a master's degree in this. And I'm this and I'm that and I contribute a lot to my people today. I said and what else? She said actually, I work now with the United Nations for protecting refugee girls in camp. I said I asked you about Allah. If this never happened to you? Would you be ever see yourself in this position?
Yes, there is one person's hurt. But how many sold that you have saved so far?
You might not everybody every time you figure out the outcome.
But I will guarantee you that always there is a greater outcome. Then even Yes, the strategy itself, but Allah knows the future.
At that moment, you might devastate but now I appreciate the love the education, I will never be able to finish my education. If I didn't go leave my country. I'll never have like even middle school education.
Now I'm a master and a PhD candidate. Now I speak in an international platform.
We know that's why I said what Allah has decreed. And there is always a greater outcome and this is something based on his knowledge of Hana what to add, and everything that he knows he wrote
in a safe towels,
everything
his words, his actions, what will happen, his creations everything written. And these safe tablets allow him Whoa, no one has access to it except Allah. No shame, no saying no wedding, no angel, nothing.
That's why the angels era What should I write in my
record and Allah tells him what you write.
Date. The other thing, so the knowledge and part of it is the writing and also the Will everything happens by the will of Allah, Allah Subhan Allah Willdan nothing happened out of his will.
Yeah, so everything happened by the will of Allah Subhan of God.
And Allah created everything by His order be and it will best exist. So these are the pillars of Kedah five and understanding them. And knowing that everything that exists is based on this will give you a very clear scope, how things happen, how things happen, moving forward, which is I believe something important
People ask. Allah created everything. That's right. Yes, they
good and bad. Yes. What's good and bad?
What's how you define good and bad? This is related to religious issues and worldly issues. Someone I'll hire well Hassan Aasiya will shovel
good deeds religiously or good thing. Worried about I'm healthy. I got married. You know, I have children. I'm successful man, a woman, you know, I'm beautiful. I am you know, I've been healed good things. I prayed. I'm a Muslim. I follow the Sunnah I read Quran, I recite Quran very well, I understand rules. Yeah, that's good. I pray to Asia, or I prayed Magro you know, that's good things. I'm good to my parents. That's all good things, bad things, sins or bad things I lost my child I lost my I'm not healthy. I'm sick. You know, whatever it is. So the question will be, does Allah create both Yes.
For you, but I'll tell you something, nothing Allah created originally that
there is nothing Allah made inherently that good from the beginning. But what's the worst thing ever exist
What's the worst thing in the whole universe? A ship on a ship on was not made and created as an evil thing in the beginning.
It was actually an Angels and it was good and determine human beings are chef What about Hitler? What about the worst caffeine you can think of on the face of this earth?
You know what, Harlequin a bad you shouldn't, if that fits that I created everybody upon the fitrah about Islam, then the change. So inherently Allah never created never decreed anything originally bad.
The bad things happen two things are happen
as a result of the action of the person or or as the result of men, Imad Dettol, higher on an exam that Allah Subhana Allah, do not open the door for goodness for you. Do not give you not he did not give you that extra help. extra guidance, he leaves you for yourself.
Which is not being unfair to you. You just lift here for yourself.
And you deal with the shelter you needed with a desire to do this on your own. In One Person zero this in his own wouldn't make it.
But when Allah subhanaw taala help you age you open your heart, make things easy for you. To do you ask
why would Allah help someone and will not help someone?
It is the result of the action of the person. When Allah subhanaw taala sees in your heart goodness, he gives you good. When you walk to Allah, Allah runs to you. When you do good Allah and return encourage you in goodness. That's number one. Number two, that Allah Subhana Allah to Allah sometimes he let bad things happen. For reasons for wisdom, what can be the wisdom for allowing bad things to happen?
When it comes to bad things that Allah subhanaw taala allowed to happen.
They are to type bad things like related to worldly matters or religious matter, worldly matters like death. Cancers, like this issue of somebody could only be harmed, you know, by someone else. All these bad things happen in the world. Why would Allah allow this to happen? For reasons for wisdom for a greater outcome? Like what Allah says in the Quran?
Or has he been so a guru?
Or hula you've done Allah make it a test and trial. So it shows to you before anyone else what kind of person you are. He puts you in a hardship so he show you what kind of person you are you really believe in what you say.
You really believe in Allah you really believe in the Mercy of Allah you really believe in the wisdom of Allah or are you just saying it
whenever it goes in your way you're happy when it if it doesn't go your way? That's where you frustrate or Allah
To show your frustration
also test to make you grow so many times my kids you know what surprised why would I say now i By the way I am 100% Convinced that parents should provide a lot of vitamin n to their children
which is no
you might say no, just to make it a test to make them better grow
a stumble might prevent a fall
you know when Allah subhanaw taala put you in that test and trial not because he enjoys seeing your suffering? No, because he knows that after the straw you grow and he became a better person
you know, and Louisiana.
I love the story.
In Louisiana, there is a guy who used to bring a cod fish, cod fish grown the North cold water. So he bring them to Louisiana in a tanker. But by the time they come in a cold they have cold frozen so people don't like it.
You know fried fish would like not fresh is not a good thing. So you bring them in tanker fresh. But still it was smushy and good. Why because the not moving the whole truck trip from the north to the south. So you came up with this idea he dropped cat fish in every tank.
So the cat fish are a natural predator. So every time the cat fish moved the whole entire fish in the tank move. So the whole trip from up north all the way to Louisiana. So the fish was constantly moving. So by the time they arrived, they were healthy, you're fresh as if just came from the sea.
Sometimes Allah subhanaw taala put that catfish in your life to keep you awake to keep you alert to keep you alive to keep you full of energy,
tests and trial.
You might not like it. Yes, there is some cat some other some catfish were eaten by the catfish, but outcome was result was great. Overall. Yes, the test is people will fall but overall people benefit and learn.
Adam, remember giving the example if you guys have a little bit longer memory in
Japan, a tsunami hit and a leak from a nuclear facility to the water. Do you remember that few years back?
I was watching the news and one thing caught my eyes, which is they said that was the best things happened to America. And I was like what they said yes, actually the study would happen. The leak that took place in Japan have made New Jersey nuclear facilities and so many nuclear facilities United States have upgraded themselves and another part of the world they learn from that experience so many things to supplement the safety requirements and things that we can do and made this facilities much much safer saving millions of lives in the future. Allah knows if things never happen it will happen how it will be
yes, it was a disaster there but you know what that led for millions of people to be saved. If this wouldn't be happening. If this measurement the change cannot take place it you will learn a lot from it. Sometimes Allah's character Hana made these bad things happen as a form of purification, your sickness, there is a narration says that the people on the day of judgment would say I wish that all my sickness is stayed with me all my life. I never was cured from any sickness. Yes, you're mad that you lost one of your limbs. Yes, you're angry that you're, you know, sick and suffering and
a brother came to me said Jeff, it's so hard
to see my dad like this with dementia.
Do you know when my father has dementia is very hard.
I said to him, how long your dad and dementia he said it's been nine years now. I said are eight years can't function. I said How's your dad before that sickness? He said my dad before that sickness. He used to pray in the masjid. He used to read Quran he used to fast every Monday and Thursday. How come this happened to him? Sure. I thought any human lies almost half of the Quran. You read Quran all the time. I said guess what? The last nine years your dad been only receiving good deeds. He receiving every reward of every good deeds he or she your dad or mom been doing in the last eight, nine years.
Everything we used to do prayer, fasting, blah, blah, everything we're getting the word of it now. And guess what? I'm sure your dad used to do sins and used to do wrong mistakes and make something which is not correct. That's right. It's obvious as a human being I said none of this will be written for him for the last night for the last nine years he's nothing gaining nothing but good good, good, good, good, good.
You might not appreciate it now but you will appreciate it and Dave judgment or love raising so high and he interested for you to bring you up with his level.
Allah, Allah put that thing that's part of what you believe in Allah.
Also, Allah, Allah, Allah sometimes make this
to increase your reward, and basically erase your sins to purify you. So you come clean the sickness take away the sins from you. Like the way the fire take away, that the things in the metals that is basically when you put a golden in a fire, you can get the gold pure after that it's a purification process, promise to be compensated with good Indonesian and greatly rewarding the RTL.
Anyway, I will, like wrap it up by saying one of the things also the principle is so important to al Qaeda, is to understand that everything happened, it happened by Allah's well and wisdom.
You cannot separate these two from each other not because of his Well, some people said Allah just Weldon, no, there is a wisdom behind it. There is a reason behind that is a great Heckman behind it. They can you know the wisdom behind it? No. Not all the time. Why? Why do you think we cannot understand the wisdom behind Allah's actions?
I have a question.
The Wisdom is the result of what? When the person is so wise.
When that person has what?
A lot of knowledge, the more knowledge the more experience, the more wisdom you have this right you agree.
In order for you to know the wisdom of Allah, you have to have equal knowledge. And that's impossible.
What's the size of your knowledge component to Allah's knowledge, nothing. And that's why your understanding of the wisdom of Allah is in the same level.
See how limited your knowledge compared to Allah that's how limited your understanding of the wisdom of Allah SmartArt is actions. So know your place.
So everything here is done by nice to another thing I would like to say
that as a part of believing
that you always remember, al Qaeda required from us to have the trust in Allah. Because we trust his knowledge, his ability, his power, his wisdom, but yet Allah order us to take the necessarily means
you're not a believer in Okada. If you say you know what, I leave everything to you, I'm not going to do nothing. Now you can't do that.
Allah says you take the necessarily means you work hard, you study. But while you study, you don't rely on the means. You rely on the means. And before that you're lying Allah subhanaw taala I give you an example.
Somebody go to the doctor, if all what you think is the doctor is the healer is not the healer. Allah is the healer. He's just a means. Can somebody stay home and said, You know what? Dr. Shalabi? You need to check my heart or anything like that. You know what, Allah is the One who can draw hearts? No, but I need the doctor to give an advice. I need the doctor to check me out to tell me you know what your blood basically level and you can stroll blah, blah, blah, these are, but if I only trust the Doctor, I have Allah out of the equation that's wrong.
And this is serious.
Look at yourself. When a calamity happens. What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it Allah? Or the dunya?
Is it Allah of the doctors? Is it a lot of the police? Is it a lot of the firefighters? Is it Allah or the vaccine?
Is it a law or that means the movement first thing come to their mind? Allah's Pentagon and the last thing and in between eating the necessarily means I want to end up with two quick points.
A lot of people ask about the concept of Allah created everything. And he made everything and he knew
Everything
Do we have a will like as a human being and if we do have a well how this works?
Like where we are when it comes to the equation of this whole things that take place you said Allah knows things created things order thing to what about what is my Well, what is my actions where it fits here?
Do human beings have a free will? The word free will is kind of interesting. Why your Messiah is free? Well, what? Let's a little bit, shed a little bit light on those. This is pretty simple like
obviously, it's an common sense you have a well, Sister, can you lift up this water?
That's it? Did I force you to do it?
No, it's her own world to do that. To live on the water. It's your choice. There's Allah knows, I will ask her and he she will do it. Yes. Does Allah allow that to happen? Yes.
And if Allah doesn't want to allow to happen, she will say no, I'm not gonna lie What I'm like here, you're gonna pay
it test to try to make a an example of me, I'm not going to do it. She could have answered it this way. If Allah doesn't want it to do she will try my hands my movie, or the water start walking away the bottle water. If Allah doesn't want it to happen, he will not make it happen. He has his own way of making that happen. But that's her own well, she has the free will to do it.
But while she has the Free Will Allah Subhana Allah knows about it. Allah subhanaw taala allowed it to happen.
So you will and Allah's will do not contradict each other. You will and Allah has knowledge do not contradict each others.
For you,
did Allah create that action and her? Yes,
if he created that actions,
why I should be responsible with Allah, I took something I drink alcohol, I smoke weeds.
If Allah made me Allah created that isn't that the action of ALLAH SubhanA created that Yes. So why I will be responsible for it.
I understand I will be responsible for Allah knows about it because that's the nature of but Allah, the creation or the creator of my actions.
Here, it's an interesting point, which is
there is a difference between you doing something
and what you did is created by Allah, what that means. It means that Allah created you created your hand, your eyes, your brain, your will your ability, your thinking, your work, your thought process all this made by Allah, then you use these tools to make this decision. So it is your actions because you made the choice. And it also Allah subhanaw taala is creation because Allah created you and allow that to happen.
Give you an example harlot.
If you have a phone, okay.
What's your phone is? iPhone. Okay, so you have an iPhone. You take a picture
of something not supposed to be taking picture of wrong picture.
And I said to hide it, how come you have this picture in your phone? He said of Allah. Hey, I'm not responsible. Ask apple.
Talk to Tim apple.
Somebody would know the joke. Okay, talk to Tim apple.
You know, he's the one who made it.
Somebody killed someone and he said I'm not sponsored the gun. Ask the manufacturer of the gun. Would that be acceptable?
No, not because somebody made the phone. It is you choice. It is your decision how you use the camera? It is your decision how to use the gun.
You don't blame the maker of the gun. You don't blame the maker of the camera.
Allah made you but you made the choice how to do it.
It is your choice. That's why you will be responsible for it. I will never get a sister came to me after Salah in all of the massages here in missing photo actually. And she told me
chef,
Allah doesn't want me to be guided.
I said how do you know? She said Look at me. Do I look like guided to you?
I didn't pray. I don't wear hijab. I drink I have a boyfriend. She was very blunt with me. I said okay, next door is this Daraa salaam, the sell hijab? Go buy one and
make her go and pray.
She said
I said God, not gonna pay for it you pay for your own hijab.
Then she said yes but Allah didn't guided me. I said no Allah guided me he told you in the Quran pray he told you the Quran put a gyratory in the Quran, be good to your parents be all these good things but you now church chose not to do it. Our even brought me to you to to remind you of these things.
If you now don't go put your hijab and pray it is your choice not Allah choice. You know what I know? And it is Allah's choice if now you said okay, sure. You know what I'm gonna go pray and you move on Allah son a thunder from the heavens to burn you right away. Or like make you a piece of rock.
I know that Allah doesn't want you to be guided
don't ever play this game
that's why you cannot ever use a color to justify your sins. It is your choice.
Yes, it is created known by Allah but it is your own choice. We call this an Arabic language here methylone Linda, what is the look and warmth of arugula it's the outcome of your video it is belongs to Allah because he created it because he allowed it but it is your choice it's your decision.
The more you know about either my brother and sisters the more you trust the last Anatot

and you always trust the last one that you know whatever calamity you go to whatever problem you go through unless we're gonna only intend good for you

The more you believe in Okada, the more you understand you have so much peace in mind

bar report or evaluation. My Risk was in the hands of Allah, my agile in the hands of Allah.
I do what I do I take the necessarily means and in the end of the day I am you know what, I'm happy
another thing,
the more you believe in Python.
It's not about the past. It's not about the future. It's about the present.
What happened in the past Alessandra decreed. hamdulillah in the future is in the hands of Allah. It is your focus. It's not what Allah wants me to do now.
The more you think about Okada, it's about what is your duty at this moment. What is duty in this particular thing is not about you don't think why this has happened and what will happen if your focus on the time that you limit also, in that you willpower determination to go forward in the way of Allah. We don't feel anybody because you know that this is not your destiny is not in his hand. That's why Sahaba so brave.
You know, the more you believe in Okada, the more brave you become, the more generous you become. You're not worried about poverty, you're not worried about that you're not worried about sickness.
The more you believe in no further the less
In view you have for others because you know what Allah gave them and gave you it's according to perfect measurement.
The more you think about Takada you know what stingy, you become
coward, you become less.
Because you have that belief in Okada.
It makes you always have this beautiful sense of optimism and trust in Allah subhanho wa taala.
The more you believe in the more you see these opportunities and every difficulties in your life
because you know, Allah, Allah intended for you.
The more you believe in Okada, the more sincere you are with Allah.
And I mean by sincere
because Allah knows what's in your heart.
And
a friend of mine he was asked by someone to decisions make dua for me that Allah subhanaw taala and he helped me to quit smoking.
Because Ramadan was in front of the Kaaba. Then the sheikh raised his hand said along Mel Simone, he said, I praise the law and I mentioned I lost my dad has beautiful names and attributes that allow this person to quit smoking.
on his own, I prayed for so many things for health, wealth, dunya, aka everything for him, his family's children's parents, the guy was crying in tears and the whole crew for the good recording. They were it was recording episodes for TV, they were crying and the SU
and then they said the Allah don't give him anything from this if he doesn't quit smoking.
The guy said
it looked at him, he never sent me to this one.
You know why?
Because he never was sincere about quitting smoking.
He was not ready to quit. He just said Pray for me. But inside her heart is not is not ready to quit is not ready to change. The more you believe in God, you know that Allah deal with you according to what's inside your heart.
Yeah, and I'm in love, your call to become higher are you to come higher. And Allah says good in your heart, He gives you good.
The more you believe in other when you raise your hand to do you have that certainty. You have the power and have the belief in it.
The more tests you go through the more difficulties you go, you know that Allah subhanaw taala is preparing you for something to be so valuable.
Our value appeared where we stand in a time of difficulties, not where we stand in a time of ease and comfort.
When Allah test me is because he wanted me to be strong, not to crush me.
There is a lot to be said. But I hope
that the little bit that we get to know about each other today.
For me, whenever I talk about the color, I just love Allah more.
I just feel so relaxed.
That my matters handled by someone so wise, so knowledgeable, so merciful, so kind, or what I'm required to do, is what Allah said, asked me to do, and Allah promised me if I do what I've been asked to do, he will give you me more than what I asked him to do. I'll say this again. If you do only what you've been asked to do, Allah guaranteed to give me way more than what I asked of him to do. To me, he never asked me to do more than what he asked
but I do what he told me he will give me me way more than what I wanted to do to me
as the good deal
males have ours Okinawa, Cambodia pain, like give us the the taste the sweetness of of tranquillity of the Eman and the the the trust in Allah subhana wa to Hana and the realignment of our last panel or dad to always be pleased with what Allah decreed upon you may also gather us inshallah and here and sorry I started late today I got confused actually with the time but inshallah Darla next week we'll start on to Unlight on time, and I'm looking forward for the next week. sha Allah talk SallAllahu Soleimani in a moment
