Asr Khatirah – Seeking Safety In A House In Jannah

What a beautiful start and end, SubhanAllah.

Start of this day or this is and

the end of the month of Ramadan, the

last Jumah

with brother Robert Gabriel Shahadah right now.

And our dua, hopefully matches his journey,

is the dua of the wife of the

that we have in the dua of the

Quran today inshallah

is from Surat Al Tahrim

chapter 66,

aya number 11.

Aya

again, that's aya number 11, chapter 66.

Before that, I wanna take you an aya

prior to this. At the end of Surat

Al Taherim,

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he shows us a

contrast of 2 images or two two examples.

The examples of those are truly faithful,

and the example of truly the opposite of

that.

Here, he says,

Allah

says over here, Allah sets forth an example

for the disbelievers,

The wife of Noah and the wife of

Lut,

each was married to one of our righteous

servants yet betrayed them.

So their husbands were were no were of

no benefit to them against Allah's

whatsoever.

Both were told enter the fire along with

the others.

So, the first example Allah mentions, subhanahu wa

ta'ala, example of these believers

telling us that look,

if your heart is not clean, if your

heart is not prepared, if you don't open

your heart for guidance,

no one can help you.

No one can help you no matter how

close you are to them.

I mean,

how close can you get to

any person more than being close to your

spouse?

The most intimate person you are with them.

You are the one who they know that

the private life, the public life, that the

ins and outs of everything.

They're very close to you, and still, that

kind of proximity,

that closeness

never resulted in them finding guidance

because their hearts were never there.

And specifically the example of, Nuh, alayhi salam,

al jamaah.

Why is that?

How long did Nuh alayhi salam give dawah

in his in his community? For how long?

950 years. You talk about a millennial of

dawah.

950

years

constantly

giving dawah.

Like, you know what? If anyone if anyone

has given you dawah for a few hours

and a few days, maybe you're just gonna

say, you know what? Fine. Give me the

shahada.

Right?

And here, now a 150

years,

now a 150 years,

and his wife she still chose to be

with the disbelievers.

And Allah Mustaan, she also inspired Huwajima?

Her son.

Right?

So Allah says

if the heart is not pure, if the

heart is not open, nothing can help you

here.

So he says, subhanahu wa ta'ala,

the example of disbelievers

are the example of these people,

the wife of Nuh and the wife of

Lut.

They betrayed their husbands, meaning they did not

follow their paths and that's why Allah

submit them to jahannam Allah protect us from

that. Now, the contrast to this, the opposite

to that is being the wife of who?

Faraun.

The wife Faraun.

And who was Faraun al Jama'am?

The greatest tyrant.

The worst example that ever been set in

the Quran for us in regards to this

belief.

Baru Hu, his wife was one of the

best people of Jannah.

So what Allah is telling us here,

don't blame your circumstances.

Alright?

Don't tell me my family,

my husband,

my wife, you know, my job, my this,

my that.

You can find your way

out of all this misery, out of all

this situation, and you can find guidance still.

So don't blame it on your circumstances ever.

You need to make the effort no matter

what the situation is. You can't say my

husband was than Fir'aun.

You can't. And you can't blame the imam,

for example, if laqaddaAllah, his family chose another

different path.

You can't. If the guidance is not in

the heart, if the heart is not pure

and ready for that, it's not gonna happen.

So here, Allah says

and Allah sets forth the example for the

believers,

the wife of the pharaoh, the pharaoh.

She said she prayed, my Lord, build me

a house in Jannah near you.

Why she's asking for a house in Jannah

Ajamah?

Because she wants to leave what?

The palace of the pharaoh.

I mean how fancy was her house in

in in Ortejema?

How fancy was it?

Amazing.

She was the wife of the feraoun, so

she was basically the queen of the entire

world that time, back then.

And still it mean nothing for her.

I need a house.

She didn't say a mansion.

Right? What did she say? You Rabbi, give

me a house, a room somewhere there near

you.

And You Allah deliver me from

and his evil doing

and save me from the wrongdoing people.

So she said, my Lord, please bring me

near you even if it was a small

house

In Jannah with you. And you Allah protect

me and save me from the wrongdoing of

Firaun

and his people, the trans the transgressors, the

wrongdoers.

Now that's a profound dua that she asked

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give her that.

And if Allah grants her that wish, Jima,

what does that mean?

If she was given that that wish granted,

where would she be?

In the highest fanciful jannah, Alfred Rasulallah.

Right?

And, if she's there in the highest

what kind of house is she gonna get?

Cardboard?

It's different than what we have here in

this dunya. So that's the dua

you make if you're in a constrained situation,

if you're dealing with people that are causing

you troubles. You ask Allah all the time,

You

Allah, deliver me from the misery of my

house

to the house of peace with you.

SubhanAllah, when Allah honored Khadija

He honored Khadija

and he gave a salaam to her, through

the prophet

What was the gift that was given, the

glad tid and the good news that was

given to Khadija at that

time. When the prophet said to her, kal,

You Khadija in najibril yukriqris

salam. Jibril

is sending salam upon you.

Allah himself. His peace and peace come from

him. And then he told her, and

he's given you the good

news.

He's given the good news and the

that you shall have

like a pearl,

beautiful pearl house made from a big pearl.

And it has no sahab, no nasab.

Before even I translate those two words,

what do women usually complain about the most

when it comes to houses?

Cleaning.

Cleaning? The chores.

Right?

Chores. What's the other one?

The noise.

The noise. Like keep it down. Quiet. Kids

go in the backyard. Right? All are yelling

at each other. And these are 2 things

Allah subhanahu wa'ala told her, says,

no noise,

no trouble, no arguing,

and no nasab, no fatigue, no no work,

no chores.

That's Jannah on earth for any woman,

right?

Imagine how it is gonna be in Jannah

on the day of judgment.

So she was given that. So if Allah

blessed you with a house in Jannah, Jamaa,

Allahu Akbar,

no fatigue, no work, no chores to worry

about, nothing, it's always pure, clean,

it gives you that serenity, that peace and

tranquility. It's nama. That's nayim. So that's what

Allah has given and promised

the wife of the frown in this ayah.

And then the last ayah Allah adds to

us the example of Maryam, ibn Ata Imran.

The Maryam, the daughter of Imran,

who kept her chastity and guarded her chastity.

So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he commanded to

the the the the the Rooh, which is

in this case

the the soul of to

breathe it into their wombs,

and she believed

and testified the truth about the words of

her Lord and the scriptures and was one

of those sincerely devout.

But the dua that we have here is

a dua of the wife of the frown.

May Allah

So

So
