The speaker emphasizes the need to find guidance and not bl wonder oneself for circumstances, and to avoid blurring oneself into circumstances. The speaker describes the difficulties of obtaining a house in Jannah and a constrained or loud house, as well as the difficulty of obtaining a house in a clean house and a loud house.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			What a beautiful start and end, SubhanAllah.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			Start of this day or this is and
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			the end of the month of Ramadan, the
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16
			last Jumah
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			with brother Robert Gabriel Shahadah right now.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			And our dua, hopefully matches his journey,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			is the dua of the wife of the
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			that we have in the dua of the
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			Quran today inshallah
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			is from Surat Al Tahrim
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			chapter 66,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			aya number 11.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			Aya
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			again, that's aya number 11, chapter 66.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Before that, I wanna take you an aya
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			prior to this. At the end of Surat
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:52
			Al Taherim,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he shows us a
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			contrast of 2 images or two two examples.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			The examples of those are truly faithful,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			and the example of truly the opposite of
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			that.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			Here, he says,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			Allah
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			says over here, Allah sets forth an example
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			for the disbelievers,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			The wife of Noah and the wife of
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			Lut,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			each was married to one of our righteous
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			servants yet betrayed them.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			So their husbands were were no were of
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			no benefit to them against Allah's
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			whatsoever.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			Both were told enter the fire along with
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			the others.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			So, the first example Allah mentions, subhanahu wa
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			ta'ala, example of these believers
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			telling us that look,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			if your heart is not clean, if your
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			heart is not prepared, if you don't open
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			your heart for guidance,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			no one can help you.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			No one can help you no matter how
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			close you are to them.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			I mean,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			how close can you get to
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			any person more than being close to your
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:09
			spouse?
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			The most intimate person you are with them.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			You are the one who they know that
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			the private life, the public life, that the
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			ins and outs of everything.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			They're very close to you, and still, that
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			kind of proximity,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			that closeness
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			never resulted in them finding guidance
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			because their hearts were never there.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			And specifically the example of, Nuh, alayhi salam,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			al jamaah.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			Why is that?
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			How long did Nuh alayhi salam give dawah
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			in his in his community? For how long?
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			950 years. You talk about a millennial of
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			dawah.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			950
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			years
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:51
			constantly
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			giving dawah.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			Like, you know what? If anyone if anyone
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			has given you dawah for a few hours
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			and a few days, maybe you're just gonna
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			say, you know what? Fine. Give me the
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			shahada.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			Right?
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			And here, now a 150
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:04
			years,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			now a 150 years,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			and his wife she still chose to be
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			with the disbelievers.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			And Allah Mustaan, she also inspired Huwajima?
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			Her son.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			Right?
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			So Allah says
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			if the heart is not pure, if the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			heart is not open, nothing can help you
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			here.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			So he says, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			the example of disbelievers
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			are the example of these people,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			the wife of Nuh and the wife of
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			Lut.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			They betrayed their husbands, meaning they did not
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			follow their paths and that's why Allah
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			submit them to jahannam Allah protect us from
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			that. Now, the contrast to this, the opposite
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			to that is being the wife of who?
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			Faraun.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			The wife Faraun.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			And who was Faraun al Jama'am?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			The greatest tyrant.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			The worst example that ever been set in
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			the Quran for us in regards to this
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			belief.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			Baru Hu, his wife was one of the
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			best people of Jannah.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			So what Allah is telling us here,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			don't blame your circumstances.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:08
			Alright?
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			Don't tell me my family,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:11
			my husband,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			my wife, you know, my job, my this,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			my that.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			You can find your way
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			out of all this misery, out of all
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			this situation, and you can find guidance still.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			So don't blame it on your circumstances ever.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			You need to make the effort no matter
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			what the situation is. You can't say my
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			husband was than Fir'aun.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			You can't. And you can't blame the imam,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			for example, if laqaddaAllah, his family chose another
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			different path.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			You can't. If the guidance is not in
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			the heart, if the heart is not pure
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			and ready for that, it's not gonna happen.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			So here, Allah says
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			and Allah sets forth the example for the
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:50
			believers,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			the wife of the pharaoh, the pharaoh.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			She said she prayed, my Lord, build me
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			a house in Jannah near you.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			Why she's asking for a house in Jannah
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			Ajamah?
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			Because she wants to leave what?
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			The palace of the pharaoh.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			I mean how fancy was her house in
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:13
			in in Ortejema?
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:14
			How fancy was it?
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			Amazing.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			She was the wife of the feraoun, so
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			she was basically the queen of the entire
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			world that time, back then.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			And still it mean nothing for her.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			I need a house.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			She didn't say a mansion.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			Right? What did she say? You Rabbi, give
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			me a house, a room somewhere there near
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			you.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			And You Allah deliver me from
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			and his evil doing
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			and save me from the wrongdoing people.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			So she said, my Lord, please bring me
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			near you even if it was a small
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			house
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			In Jannah with you. And you Allah protect
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			me and save me from the wrongdoing of
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:02
			Firaun
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			and his people, the trans the transgressors, the
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:05
			wrongdoers.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			Now that's a profound dua that she asked
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give her that.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			And if Allah grants her that wish, Jima,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			what does that mean?
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			If she was given that that wish granted,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			where would she be?
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			In the highest fanciful jannah, Alfred Rasulallah.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:22
			Right?
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			And, if she's there in the highest
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			what kind of house is she gonna get?
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			Cardboard?
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			It's different than what we have here in
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			this dunya. So that's the dua
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			you make if you're in a constrained situation,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			if you're dealing with people that are causing
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			you troubles. You ask Allah all the time,
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:51
			You
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			Allah, deliver me from the misery of my
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			house
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			to the house of peace with you.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			SubhanAllah, when Allah honored Khadija
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:03
			He honored Khadija
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			and he gave a salaam to her, through
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			the prophet
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			What was the gift that was given, the
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			glad tid and the good news that was
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			given to Khadija at that
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			time. When the prophet said to her, kal,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			You Khadija in najibril yukriqris
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			salam. Jibril
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			is sending salam upon you.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			Allah himself. His peace and peace come from
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			him. And then he told her, and
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			he's given you the good
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			news.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			He's given the good news and the
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			that you shall have
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			like a pearl,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			beautiful pearl house made from a big pearl.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			And it has no sahab, no nasab.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			Before even I translate those two words,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			what do women usually complain about the most
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			when it comes to houses?
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			Cleaning.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			Cleaning? The chores.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			Right?
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			Chores. What's the other one?
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			The noise.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			The noise. Like keep it down. Quiet. Kids
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			go in the backyard. Right? All are yelling
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			at each other. And these are 2 things
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			Allah subhanahu wa'ala told her, says,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			no noise,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			no trouble, no arguing,
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			and no nasab, no fatigue, no no work,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			no chores.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			That's Jannah on earth for any woman,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			right?
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			Imagine how it is gonna be in Jannah
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			on the day of judgment.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			So she was given that. So if Allah
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			blessed you with a house in Jannah, Jamaa,
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			Allahu Akbar,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			no fatigue, no work, no chores to worry
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			about, nothing, it's always pure, clean,
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			it gives you that serenity, that peace and
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			tranquility. It's nama. That's nayim. So that's what
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			Allah has given and promised
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			the wife of the frown in this ayah.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			And then the last ayah Allah adds to
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			us the example of Maryam, ibn Ata Imran.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			The Maryam, the daughter of Imran,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			who kept her chastity and guarded her chastity.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he commanded to
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			the the the the the Rooh, which is
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			in this case
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			the the soul of to
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			breathe it into their wombs,
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			and she believed
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			and testified the truth about the words of
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			her Lord and the scriptures and was one
