Yaser Birjas – Patience In Face Of Trials Is Purification

We're still reading from the book of Asaba,

the book of, the chapter on on patience

from read us salihin,

hadith number 49.

This hadith is more like a bringing peace

for the believers,

especially as we go through this dunya. We

go through many trials.

Trials come from all over the place and

come in different shapes.

Sometimes financial, sometimes family issues, all that kind

of stuff and so on. What could bring

peace to the believer

as he or she going through these trials?

Let's see what the prophet

says in this

In this hadith, the messenger of Allah sallallahu

alaihi wa sallam says, a Muslim, male or

female, man or woman,

continues to remain under trial in respect of

his life,

property,

and offspring

until he faces Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, they

exalted with no sin record,

like all their sins being wiped out.

Haydruha Tirmali. So what does it mean

here?

So

the prophet

said that the believer,

male or female, they'll be subject to trials.

Is that a secret Ajima, or that's something

known to everybody?

Known to everybody.

So the the trial not only befall the

the the man, also the woman as well

too,

which means

for us,

men and women, we need to keep that

in mind. We're now both of us are

struggle for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala, and we're in competition for their work

from Allah

So not just the man who's going through

difficulties,

also many go through difficulties.

What kind of difficulty he

said Like, first of all,

means personal.

What kind of personal, you could say, a

trial a person can go through Jema? Like

what?

Health issues,

getting sick, for example,

injury,

stuff like that. On a personal level,

stress,

You're going through all those and anxiety. These

kind of things. So all these are considered

part of trials.

So this is something on a personal level.

Children, like what?

Loss of children, for example.

Absence of children, not having kids at

all. Or if you have kids, they

wanna be beautiful to you as much as

you would love them to be. Right? So

the difficulty comes from that side. So there

are many things people can see trials through

their children.

And also through their wealth and property.

What does that even mean now?

The loss of properties,

losing their jobs,

money value goes down,

losing business, whatever that is, something of that

nature,

or losing their car or their house, whatever.

So the trials are coming all different shapes,

on a personal level,

social level, and also financial level.

And again, that's not a secret because Allah

subhanahu says in the Quran,

He said we shall try you. Allah says,

very, very clear. You are going to be

tried and tested in many things.

With some fear, Some,

diminishing of health and wealth and properties

and many things. And he say

give the good news for those who persevere

in patients. So the prophet says over here

that the bala the trial will be go

the believer will be going through all the

trials

until

and no records of sins on your books.

Like, they'll be like, if they said, like,

wipe out the sins completely.

A question right now.

Do you have to accept these trials to

get the reward for effacing these sins?

Or just by by default.

Any trial you go through, you're gonna have

to you're gonna basically kinda, like, get some

of your sins being eliminated. What do you

guys think?

Like, if you don't show patients, like, so

you're going through trial.

Someone lost

their job.

They start yelling and cussing and cursing, and

they say, why me, and so and so.

Are they gonna still have their reward for,

for that trial they're going through?

They lost

it. Because the prophet said,

you have to be patient to get that.

You have to be patient to get that.

Being patient doesn't mean you cannot complain.

Like, you can say, oh, this hurt me.

This hurts.

Oh, Allah, I'm so scared. You Allah, help

me out with this. It's okay.

But you don't complain about Allah for

the trial you're going through. Because once you

start complaining about Allah

you lost your chance, you lost your opportunities

for

that. Making sure that those trials don't go

wasted.

And, again, we are gonna all be going

through trials. May Allah protect

us. Now is it smart thing for someone

to say, oh, Allah, if that's gonna, erase

my sins, I should ask for more.

Would that be smart to say, Ajima?

Absolutely not. Because even the prophet salallahu alayhi

wa sallam himself, when he used to make

dua, he used to make dua for what?

He always asked

Allah for safety and protection in his body,

in his sight, in his hearing, in his

dunya and in the akhirah. So even the

prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he would say,

protect me from any trials.

So never ever wish for a trial because,

say, I messed up so many things. I

need to make dua. I need to make

dua for more trials. Don't ever ask the

Allah for this. But if Allah, subhanahu wa

ta'ala, wills and he will

choose to test you, Be prepared and be

patient, and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect

you all.

Any

question?

Yes.

So some of the questions, someone lost their

job as a trial. Right? They started complaining

and whining about it and so on. And

then later after a few days, they came

back to their senses, and they start kind

of becoming more remorseful.

Do they still get the reward to officiate

their sins? I hope so. However, remember,

the full reward is at the beginning.

And as people start complaining and whining, they

lose in some of that reward until whatever

is left for them when they come come

to their senses, whatever is left, that's what

you get. So if you wanna get the

maximum reward, be patient at the at the

first strike.
