			Abu Asmaa Alaikum,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			a blessed day of Ramadan is past.
Subhanallah, the first day we we
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			are done with it. And
Alhamdulillah, Allah subhanahu
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			wa blessed us so much for we are
favored by Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			could sit with our family members
and have a beautiful meal. Please.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			Let us think about those whom
Allah subhanahu wa is not favored
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			that much. They still Subhanallah
might be looking for something
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			just to quench their thirst or
fulfill the need of hunger, and
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			Allah subhanahu wa them. That is
why we are here, in order to to
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			feel that pain with those who are
poor and destitute and who don't
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			have anything in their bellies.
And who can they turn to what
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:52
			Allah, Subhanahu wa and tonight we
speak about the gems of the Quran
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			inshallah to Allah. And we are
kindly busy with the second Jews.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			And tonight we will be reciting
the second Jews inshallah to
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			Allah. And we will take some
lessons in imra from this
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			beautiful juice of the Holy Quran
and the first
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12
			exactly what we have discussed.
Now we feel for those who are less
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			fortunate and don't have but Allah
subhanaw taala gives us answers
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			that. How can we deal with this?
Allah subhanahu wa says in the
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:26
			second Jews, yahan ladinah A
manustain Obi Sadri wa Sala, and
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:30
			this is the message that we need
to get out there, that if we are
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			truly the believers of Allah
subhanahu wa, let us go out and
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			teach people the beauty that we
can achieve by doing what Allah
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			subhanahu wa wish from us. And
what is that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			guides
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			us
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			to say was salah? Allah subhanahu
wa,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			subhanAllah
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			Sabah is not something that maybe
how we think about it today, just
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:04
			to sit down and wait for Allah
subhanahu wa to act upon our DUA
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			and our needs. What is Sabbath?
Sabba is to persevere. Yes, we are
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			in the tight situation, but Allah
subhanahu wa teach us that you
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			still persevere for what you
desire, still try to sacrifice,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			still try to put in every bit of
effort
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			to get the best results out of
seeking Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:30
			State through perseverance. And
secondly, what we do is through
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34
			salah, through praying to Allah
subhanho wa taala. And this was a
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			great, great lesson that the
messenger, sallAllahu Salla, used
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			to teach us. He taught us that
when
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			need, when he was saddened by
anything that happened or occurred
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			to him, what he did, he turned to
Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			that we have today is we are
fighting with our own nafs and our
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			desires. So when something
happened to us which is not
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:09
			according to how we wish for it to
be, we run to the creation,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			instead of the Creator
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			that is, like Daniel Nigeria,
running to those who are the
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			creation of that being who is the
creator of everything, and we
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			expect them to help us with our
situations whereby we everyday
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			renew our faith by saying, the
only one that can assist me, it is
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			Allah subhanahu wa taala. Every
day we seek the guidance from
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:37
			Allah subhanho wa Taala by saying,
Iya Cana Abu. Do alone? Allah
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			subhanho wa taala, do we worship
and You alone? Do we seek Aphra
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			everyday a Muslim remind himself
of that, but somehow we are losing
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			the plot. We are looking in
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			and speak to our Creator, Allah
subhanahu wa
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:59
			teach us that ista Eru you seek my
assistance through patience and
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			perseverance. So waiting
patiently, patiently is one
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:08
			aspect, but to persevere and to
achieve that goal through striving
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			into sacrificing and to placing in
every effort. And Allah subhanho
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			wa taala, indeed, he is a Samir al
Basir. He is the All Hearing. Is
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			the all seer. Allah subhanahu wa
can see whatever effort and
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24
			sacrifices we are making. And
Inshallah, to Allah, pray to Allah
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			subhanahu wa, which is the closest
that we can come to Allah
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
			subhanahu wa, by placing our
foreheads on the ground, we are at
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:38
			the lowest point. Dunya, in actual
fact, means that low place and
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			what inappropriate name Allah
subhanahu wa given to this world.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:45
			Dunya in Allah subhanahu wa, in
the highest of places,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			the lowest of places, and it is
heard our prayers in the highest
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			of places by Allah Raj. So may
Allah accept our efforts and our
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			sacrifices those who are in need.
And Allah subhanahu wa.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
			Is after this in Allah and Allah
subhanho wa Taala is with the ones
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			who practice patience and
perseverance. So Allah is with us.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			We are not
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:18
			alone. Allah subhanahu wa is
assuring us that I am with you. I
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			am with you, with this but I am
placing you through this
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			difficulty in order for you to
gain closeness to his Subhan wa
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			taala, not to run creation, not to
run to anything else besides Allah
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33
			subhanahu wa, and Inshallah, Allah
grant us the understanding of
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			that.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:39
			And further on, Allah subhanahu wa
speak how Allah subhanahu wa place
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			us through our trials and our
tribulations. So we already know
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			Allah subhanahu wa has given us
the Go ahead. I'm telling you
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			that I will test you. Allah
subhana wa Taala says, Wala naman,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			wakum,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			the noon day that we are, Wala
naman, wakum. Allah subhana wa
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			Taala says, most definitely, will
I test you? There is no way that
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			we can explain this, that we will
definitely be tested by Allah
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			subhanahu wa and the amazing thing
about our Creator is he is
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			explaining to us how he will test
us through life, through this
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			limited time that we will spend in
this world,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			alerts us that if this happens,
this is only but a trial for me.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			And how many of us are thinking
about it like that, Allah
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:32
			subhanahu wa says, wala nablu,
what Shaykh Ibn Al Hof, I will try
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:37
			you. Will test you with something
which is called hope. But when
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			this, Allah mentioned this, we can
only imagine it is not
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			Allah subhanahu wa testas With
just a little bit of a little bit
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			of fear. Allah,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			if we think of anything that we go
through in this life, any
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			difficulty that's upon us in this
life, is there anything more
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			difficult than being an inhabitant
of the Hellfire ya rak alhamdul.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			That's the ultimate fear, that is
the fear of a believer. We do not
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			want to enter that place, which is
called jahannam. We want to be
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			free from Jahannam and may Allah
protect us from the hellfire.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:23
			Aminah Rami, what do we ask Allah
subhanahu wa will try you. Will
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			test you with a little bit of
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:32
			a little bit of hunger. Many of us
now, some of us SubhanAllah. We
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			are Mashallah. Those of us who are
fortunate, let us think about it,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			because Allah is still favoring
us. But there are some of us whose
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			salaries has been cut, some of us,
some
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			of us don't, don't, don't even
receive a reality now.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			So what is this Allah subhanahu
that are still teaching us and
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			informing us that this is but a
little bit of hunger, a little bit
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			of hunger Allah subhanahu that
test us with because that
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			is when we the hellfire and we
will Besiege Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			just a little drop
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:10
			and our
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			moment, because there will be
absolutely nothing to quench that
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			thirst, nothing to fill our
bellies In order to
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			our desires of hunger, may Allah
protect us from this time in a
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			mean that is the ultimate fear of
joy of hunger.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			Wanato Sin Mela, Allah subhanahu
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			wa as we lost family members
through this difficult trial and
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			time that we are through. But
Allah subhanahu wa still teaching
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			us that
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			persevere, have patience,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			your fruits and your prophets,
that you make, there's nothing now
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			that we can achieve. Why? Because
Allah subhanahu wa placed us in a
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			situation which only Allah
subhanahu wa taala can
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			explain to
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:03
			Allah gives us glad
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			Subhan wa Taala says again,
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			this word Samara Allah mentioned
now three times. Allah subhanahu
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			wa taala says, glad. Tayani said,
the one who practice patience and
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			perseverance, they wait for Allah
subhanahu wa to take them out of
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:25
			the situation, but they still
persevere in order to do something
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			for this is La
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:34
			Allah give us pardon for what has
happened. Now it was just cutting
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			the transmission, but Inshallah,
to Allah, as we've mentioned it,
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:41
			Allah subhanahu wa mentions in the
Quran beautifully, as Allah
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:46
			subhanahu wa speaks to his mission
and Allah gives us hope. Allah
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			subhanahu wa says, wai there,
satella ka Ibadi and NIFA ini
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			parib.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:57
			Allah subhana wa Taala says that
when My servants, oh, Rasulullah
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			said, and uma and 11, when My
servants in my.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Worship us. If they ask you about
Me,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09
			then I, Allah subhanahu wa himself
gives answer. Rasulullah
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			sallallahu Sallam does not answer
this question. Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			takes it upon himself. He says,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:22
			For in the UK that very certainly,
surely I, Allah subhanahu wa,
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:28
			close to you. I near and in
another place in the Quran. The
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:28
			beautiful
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:34
			way of the Quran is that the Quran
explains itself. Allah subhanahu
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:38
			wa says that, WA nahi, mukurabu,
Ilahi, Muhammad, yunwari.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			Allah subhanahu wa taala says that
I am closer to you than you
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:42
			Jaguar,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			so I am close imagine Allah
subhanahu wa. Is that being that
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:52
			is teaching us that he is close to
us, and we need to ask about Allah
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			subhanahu wa taala. We need to ask
and beseech Allah subhanahu wa,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			and not the creation, not turning
to anything else besides Allah
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:04
			subhanahu wa, and he is that being
that can give certainty to take us
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			out of a bad situation and to turn
a bad situation in a good
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:14
			situation. But I mean, and Allah,
further down, says ujibu dawata,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:18
			dari Dada, Allah, subhana wa Taala
is the one who answers the call of
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22
			the caller who is saying this,
Java commission, if there's
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			anything that we can be certain
of, it is when Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			gives us a promise, and Allah
subhanho wa Taala says that I will
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:34
			answer the call of your prayer. If
you ask me, I will answer you. And
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:39
			Allah subhana wa Taala says wakala
Rab Bucha uni as the jibak, that
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:44
			when you ask me, I will respond to
you, who is saying this once
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:49
			again, the Promise of Allah in the
Quran, Allah subhanahu wa teaching
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			us as believers that I am
certainly close to you and near to
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			you, subhanAllah,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			for as Taji muli when you will be
there along yashun again. And
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says, If
we follow this path by only
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:07
			turning to Allah, Subhanahu wa
perhaps we will be amongst those
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			who will be rightly guided. And
this is our ultimate aim. We want
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:16
			to be guided on truth, on the
Haqq, on the path of truth. So
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:20
			Inshallah, if Allah bless us, this
is a beautiful Jews that we will
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:24
			read tonight, these few gems that
we have understood, and it's only
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			about a reminder to us, Masha,
Allah, many of us, we've heard
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			this before, but I think the time
is just so relevant for us that we
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:33
			need to practice patience and
perseverance, and we need to know
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:37
			how Allah subhanahu wa trial and
test us through hope and joy,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:41
			through fear and through hunger,
not similar. If there is a cut
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:45
			into my finances, this is Allah
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:51
			subhanahu wa, will lose some of
our family members. Inshallah,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			Allah is the One Who will save us
from them. And then at the end,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:02
			Allah subhanahu says, Wabash,
Saudi, Allah subhanahu wa,
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			perseverance. And then the DUA
Allah subhanaw taala teach us
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:09
			through the messenger, Salah in
the Quran Allah says, WA Ida, as
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			Allah is near and close to us who
are his worshippers and the true
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:18
			believers. And inshaAllah yashun,
may Allah grant us to be among
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:23
			those who will be rightly guided.
So these few words, let us reflect
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			upon it and let us inculcate it in
our lives that we be the people
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			who practice patience. Inshallah.
Let us not be haughty, and let us
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:34
			not be as Allah subhanaw taala
says that we are in haste. Inside
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			he is a being that's always in
haste. Let us not haste. Let us
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			know that Allah is in control of
every single thing
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:49
			and Allah subhanahu wa Salaam
Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			wabarakatuh.
