00:00:44 --> 00:01:18
			Allah subhana wa tada have told us a fact about this life that this live will always be filled with
challenges, problems, obstacles, hardship. Yeah, you have insano in ARCHICAD, Johan de la BKK danfa
Malati. All Mankind, you will go through struggle until you meet your Lord in a hurricane alley
inside I mean, not 14 am shaggy Natalie, we made human beings from
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:50
			not 14 am shad Yanni from the sperm and the egg. And we made him so he can be tested. Natalie, Allah
subhanho wa Taala said, la casa de la Canal in Santa Fe Cabot, Minh and mokaba we have created human
beings, and they will be going through struggles. That's the nature of this life, which is the dunya
adhere to dunya.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:46
			I know that we all understand this very well. I don't think you need any hope about any help, or any
speaker, to remind you of all the problems that you feel and you face and you see, I know that you
might have a struggle and hardship with your marriage, it's about to fall apart. I know that you
have a problem with your children, that you see them going maybe a strike, or they are sick, or
maybe you can have control over their life, while you seeing it falling apart in front of you. I
know that you yourself may be suffering from sickness and disease and struggling with your health or
struggling with your finance, you're in debt, Cayden see the light out of that tunnel, to get out of
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:57
			that hole. Maybe you're struggling with your companies, or your employees, or maybe your boss, maybe
you are about to give up
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:04
			and do this live and to say, you know what, I just can't do it anymore.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:34
			So, many of us see so many problems in the personal level in a family level. And also not only that,
but even in the community level. Sometimes we say you know what, forget about it, this community is
not going to change those, you know, people never going to be better our economy in the country or
our kids our economy doing good these days. But you know,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:40
			you know, maybe this or that and society is not going to change.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:04:07
			You know, you think about the wars, you think about the situation of the Muslims around the world,
politically, economically, you know, you look at their, the situation of so many civil wars taking
place. And now we hear you know, the drums of war are so high for another word to be add to the fire
that we have in the heart of the Muslim world.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:28
			I can keep talking about so many problems that I can think of, in a personal level, in a communal
level, and society level international lower. And I can keep going on until the end of the bar for
the following several photos.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:37
			But I want to say that it was It is important for us to realize the following fact.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			It is not
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:48
			important to talk about your problem. As much as it's important to talk to your problems.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			We can keep talking about our problems as much as we can. But what's really make a difference and
when we start talking to them when we start facing them.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:48
			When we start thinking about how we deal with them, it's not what happened to you in life. It's what
you do about it, what matters the most. Because every one of us will have these challenges. And
every one of us will have these tests. But it was the most important and what do you are doing about
if it is a problem, and as small as you know what, I have a problem with the ability to focus to
require the ability to pry on time, the ability to, you know, and it's another small, I don't mean
to belittling the issue itself. And I mean, it's a very personal, or it is as big as my life falling
apart in every area,
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			health
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:41
			and finance, and every area of my life, just I'm not at falling apart. You know, it is, it doesn't
matter what it is, but what matters the most is you just deal with them. And you look at your
problem, and face it and start dealing with it. remembering what Allah Subhana Allah said, madonsela
love, allow him in de la Ilaha Giada Allah have not ever put disease in this earth, unless there is
a cure for it, except one thing death. You know, they say you can cheat death. No, you can't. You
can't cheat death. That's one thing you can cheat, you can escape. If Allah Subhana Allah decided
for you to die at this point at this time, at this place, nothing can change that except Allah
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			Subhana Allah Himself change that.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:07:34
			So it is important to have the attitude of looking for solutions to be driven by how you're going to
deal with it not by just there is a problem there and you keep talking about it, talking about it,
talking about it. And these are some points, I hope it will help. And I choose this topic
specifically on Ramadan, because we come closer to Allah subhana wa tada more than any other month
in the year which is understandable. I choose to talk about it because in my mind, give us a
strength and a strong people can face their problems and hopefully inshallah Donna, they can even
solve it completely and switch it to be an advantage for them. And the first principle, always have
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:52
			trust in Allah subhana wa Tada. Don't ever give hope and Allah. Only the disbelievers are the one
who despair from Allah Subhana Allah His mercy, are the one who have no trust in Allah azza wa jal
two days ago, we read surah Yusuf use of lost son
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:04
			who lost his son Yusuf for almost 40 years now 40 years, he doesn't know what is his son as there's
no closure.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:58
			And after 40 years, where he lost his other son Binyamin, and they told him your son was taken by
the king. His answer was amazing. He said to us, Allahu Allah yet in a beam Jamia? He said, Now, I
sure that Allah would bring both of them back to me. So when another problem added, did not make him
give up hope and the first one, the second son when he was lost, it didn't make him even, you know,
oh, this thing's not gonna resolve. It's getting worst. No, he said Allah will bring them both. And
the happiness of having him back will be double has a very positive attitude. That's an amazing way
of trusting a loss of Hannah Donna. Yeah, bunny Habu for the house assume useful he What are they
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:24
			assuming rohilla in the hole? I assume rohilla ELO como El Capitan. Hey, go look for use of an his
brother for use when his brother and he puts us to first and don't ever give hope. And it was a
panel what tada because the only the disbelievers are the one who would give hope in the mercy of
Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:38
			In naramata, Lucha de boomin and my sin in Allah's mercy is near from those who have sun which it
means they perfect and they tried to perfect your relationship with Allah.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			Allah has mercy
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:59
			near to those who are kind and good to others. And Allah subhanho wa Taala and return his good
unkind to them for anahita Carew enquanto muslimeen. If you are true Muslims, which is the one who
submit self to Allah, put your trust in Allah
		
00:10:00 --> 00:11:02
			Rely on him have trust in him. Well, he can do what Allah He fed our kallu in couldn't mean, what
are you let Elijah mood, put your trust in Allah, the One is all loving, and he never dies. He's
never absent. He's full of power, and capable of doing whatever he wants. That's why I lost it in
the Koran has to be Allah, La, you know, in our current will who are bhullar shall have him, that
Allah is has to be myself is the one that I rely on him. And he is sufficient for me. There is no
Lord except him. I trust him, I rely on him, I depend on Him. And He is the Lord of the greatest of
throne, Rob bull option of him, if a lot can take care of the throne, which is huge. And something
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:36
			of the greatest creations of Allah subhanho wa Taala. He did create, take care of all this world and
make it so perfect. As you see, you wouldn't think that you will be able to take care of your
problem. You know, when you go to a lawyer, and you ask about or a doctor, and you look at their
resume, and you see what the competition or investor, somebody's telling me Give me your money to
invest. And you see the T just couldn't handle a small account couldn't handle a small No.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:46
			For example, operation or case and he lost it. And now you're going to put your life in that
person's hand.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:51
			He couldn't close a wound when I give him an open heart surgery.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:04
			You can't. But if you know that this person is so capable, so experienced, he handled some many big
things, you know, my case will be nothing for him.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:21
			And I was part of that I'm making the case. He taking care of all the for this whole universe. For
the complicity of this universe, you don't think he will be able and capable of handling your
matters? Well menyatakan Allah, for
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:34
			those who truly trust in Allah, Allah will take care of them. And believe me, in many case, believe
me if I cite that I found for myself and many
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:46
			people that I met in my life, that many times we just say we trust you Allah, but deep in the heart,
that's not the case.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:56
			If you dig really deep, and you look how much you really have tranquility and peace and inner peace,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:58
			that's not an easy status to reach. That's a that's that that inner peace and trust inside your
heart will determine how far you can go and how much help you see from Allah subhana wa tada in the
law about it will empty you anyway, it means a lot bring his command to pass, nothing can stop it.
caja Allah who could say in Katara, that Allah set a major for all things. So your problems, it is
set for a reason. And it is there for wisdom and the solution for it, the cure for it. Also in the
hands of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And he had a wisdom for how and when you will receive it or might
not receive it in that case. But Allah subhanaw taala even when he doesn't give, he gives something
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:36
			else he replaced with something else better than what you seeking. Let a lot do it his way. We
couldn't always understand a lot of methods or his way. He sees the big picture. Allah has a way
even when it looks like there is no way. And the story of Musa alayhis salaam is one of the best
example that we hear every time we read the story of Moses, it reminds us what it looks there is no
way for Benny so in to escape from Pharaoh and his soldiers, the sea and they don't know how
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:47
			they can go the families and all of that all the soldiers and they have no even weapons because
Moosa told him no one allowed to carry weapon
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:59
			and they have a lot of gold and a lot of you know money. So that will be like no doubt that this
army of around will kill them all. But what did Moses
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:17
			Kela in your busy Dean, that inner peace that you said to them in May, Allah with us, and Allah will
guide us, along with me. And Allah will guide me and guide you as well.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:16:09
			You dealing with the one who hears who sees who knows, he's the most merciful subhana wa Tada. He's
the most wise his actions and his conduct is based on infinite wisdom. There is reasons and plans,
some, in many times, it just beyond what you see today. You will never be more merciful to Allah's
creation than him, as in Nabhi sallallahu Sallam said, Can you see this woman with her child with
her infant that she's breastfeeding? He said, Yes, we see her. Is it would you think he will ever
she will ever throw him in fire and she can protect him? They said No way. Is it well lie, Lola who
have obeyed Him and how he wanted to help. Allah is more merciful towards people than this woman
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			towards her child.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:34
			And I want to encourage to encourage you today to get your life back. You have to stay filled with
hope, with trust with delicate depending on relying on Allah subhanho wa Taala Never fear that Allah
is against you, as long as you are not against him.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:17:12
			Never fear that Allah subhana wa tada is against you. As long as you are not. Allah is getting
everything lined up in your life. You may not feel it, you may not see it, but a lot will bring it
all together. When it is a lost timing. That trust in Allah subhana wa tada should be always
remembered, as he said to us, and in the history of London near appdb. Failure won't be Abdi Masha,
or the karela saket linear Dora back.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:52
			If you are pleased with Allah, Allah, please with us, you're angry and frustrated at a lot, you only
harm yourself. You don't harm God, you don't bother Allah. When you frustrate, you get nothing, you
make it worse for yourself. That's why it is so important to get that inner peace, and to have that
control. And one of the things that help you to reach that level is to know who Allah subhanaw taala
is. And to, in the end of the day, you have to rely on it. I'm so unjust when I go to
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:13
			my pain doctor who's supposed to take care of my pain, but sometimes caused me more pain, you know,
psychological pain, until you go to that bed. And again, you say, you know what, no escape. I am now
in his hand.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:35
			And at one point, he just give up, you have to tell yourself, I have to trust him. Because you can
calculate the risk. What if he does this when he can paralyze you can do this, but because he's so
skillful, because my doctor is very good doctor, I have so much trust in him. I just relaxed. I
said, You know what, I'm going to go to sleep and do whatever you want
		
00:18:36 --> 00:19:27
			that inner peace. When you come here that is anxiety, but knowing how much knowledgeable is how much
experience he has, bring that tranquility to the heart, knowing how powerful a lot is, how merciful
he is, how capable he is, how wise he is, the more you know about him, the more it will bring that
peace to you. And the peace not to be lazy. The peace is not meant for you not to do anything. No,
it means to have that calmness so you can deal with the problem with the right way. She can see
through things so you can know how to plan properly. Because if you just in frustration, angry, and
anxiety and worry and all over the place, you will never be able to plan you will never be able to
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:55
			find your way out. You just keep going drowning more and more and more and more. It's like
somebody's on fire and just running you just making worse somebody in the Washington doesn't know
how to swim and he just or scared of the water and just keep heading with his head what I'm just
draining himself because you're getting tired and his muscles getting tired and soon he will be
exhausted and will sink. But if he comes down and you relax your muscles, you'll float
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			and you can think how to get out of this
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Remember, Allah subhanho wa Taala never promised us
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			a calm journey.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			But he promised us a safe arrival.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:31
			I asked Allah subhanho data by his names and attributes and your Zuko, yaku who was yakata who will
talk to grant us that ability to trust Him, to rely on him to be in peace with ourselves and with
him? subhana wa Tada. According to Mr. Rolando
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:39
			al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu Salam mahna mahna Viva horbat
		
00:20:41 --> 00:21:00
			My dear brothers and sisters, Allah subhana wa tada told us in a manner, Yusra, in Nebuchadnezzar,
you saw, with difficulties comes ease with difficulties comes ease. They've been best said
Alhamdulillah Allah The upon in number
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:19
			one me upon in Dallas, Yusra is so grateful and thankful to Allah that He told us that with
difficulties is an ambassador Allah didn't say after difficulties is comes No, no, he said with it.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			Relief comes.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:27
			So and not only once he repeated this twice.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:49
			When you start saying Forget it, I don't have a I'm not gonna make it. You know, this, you know, I'm
just giving up on this son, on myself on this marriage, you know, this never work, I would never
quit, I would never change, I would never be able to be
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:58
			to change myself. When you start talking to yourself like those, all what you do is just you sink
yourself more and more.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:27
			But when you think No, I see that there is an opportunity here. I know that I do my part. And Allah
Subhana Allah wa helped me in aid me and give me that the strength. You know, I see that this is
always there, I look for the wisdom and what Allah Subhana Allah want me to see what he wanted me to
be. Make sure in this state that you'll be very careful with your words, the words
		
00:22:28 --> 00:23:04
			or dress your thoughts. Make sure that you stay positive. Don't say negative things to yourself to
others, especially when you're going through hardship. The more negative words you cite, the more
the problem became more complicated. The more positive words the use, the more you know, you filled
your words with sense of optimism, the more it's easy to deal with these problems. And don't ever
think that my words meant to undermine the difficulties that some of us going through no
		
00:23:06 --> 00:24:01
			but it meant to strengthen you because you are definitely can be bigger than your problem. For
simple reason, because you stand on the sight of Allah subhana wa tada and you rely on him and I
guarantee you there is nothing bigger or can handle by him subhana wa tada I asked Allah Subhana
Allah to help all of us to deal with our difficulties and challenges of life and Allah subhanaw
taala while grant us on this moment this month, the solutions and the relief for the problems that
we have to let us see the white let us see his wisdom Subhana Allah to Allah and to feel calm and
patient with all these challenges in life us allows us to you know have a come when Yes, sir Mr.
