The actions of Allah Subhan graduation are praised as a true believer and the only one who gives life and what he owns. The decree, a measure of his actions, is not based on personal behavior but rather on actions taken. The importance of patient patience and faith in rewarding actions is emphasized, along with a medical doctor's response and the difficulty of accessing healthcare. The conversation ends with a call to demand safe return home and restore peace and liability to loved ones.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			Just a reminder, Insha Allah Ta'ala, starting tomorrow.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			Fajr will be at 5:30,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			and will be at 10 PM.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			Once again, starting tomorrow,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:17
			Sunday,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			Fajr will be at 5:30
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			AM, and will be at 10 PM.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			Fine.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Because of the camera. It's okay. Ready?
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			May Allah
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			preserve and protect those who are dearest to
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			But what is the reward if Allah
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			choose to test somebody
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			by taking away from them
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			those whom they love the most? Let's see
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			what the prophet said in this hadith In
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			hadith Qulasi, what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			offering
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			you. Hadith number 32.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Which means these are from Allah
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			but not Quran. Has a very special
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			category for it. That's a different subject,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			we discussed many times before.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala exalted, he says.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			The messenger of Allah, salallahu alayhi wa samsayhi
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			wa sallam, say, Allah is the exalted says,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			I have no reward
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			other than Jannah for a believing slave of
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			mine who remains patient for my sake when
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			I take away his beloved one from amongst
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			the inhabitants of this world.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			So what does that mean? Let's go over
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			the words again.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is praising this
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			person
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			of being a true believer.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			My believing servant, my believing slave.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			So Allah
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			is giving that testimony on behalf of this
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			individual
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			that he is he is is a believing
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			person. Does that apply also to the to
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			the woman?
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			Of course.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			It applies also to the female. So as
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			in this case will be Emma, and then
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he chooses to
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:45
			take away
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			from this from the dunya,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			to take away those whom he love the
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			most. So
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			So these are the actions of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			Wa Ta'ala. That he is the one who
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			gives life and he's the one who does
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			what? Takes
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			it back.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			He said,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			which means in a way that look, it's
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			it's mine.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			It is mine anyway.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			And that gives the believing person
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			a moment of of peace and solace knowing
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			that
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			look. In Allah
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			he acts in his kingdom and he acts
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			in what he owns, in the way he
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			wills.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			You have no objection to it.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			We all belong. That's why when someone does,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:25
			what do we say?
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			We all belong to Allah and to him
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			our return shall be.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			So you always you already admit
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			that everything belongs to Allah and shall go
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			back again to him subhanahu
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			wa ta'ala. So that gives a person a
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:40
			peace.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			Meaning what's the meaning of over here?
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			Comes from the old
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			That's why one of the the description of
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			the prophet
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:53
			was
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Al Mustafa means they chosen 1.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			So when you say that
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			means what?
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			Those dearest to you that you have chosen
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			in your life to be dearest to your
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			heart.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Who could that person be? I mean, for
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			people, they are different.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			For some, it's a child,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			could be their son, their daughter, could be
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			their grandchild, could be the spouse, could be
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			the parents, could be a friend that you
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			like the most, Like whoever you have chosen
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			to be your sufah, your dearest into your
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:24
			heart.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:25
			So Allah
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			chooses to test this person by taking away
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			this individual.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			Now
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			when someone dies,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			is that good or bad or not?
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			That a test question. Right? Yes.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Like for some say when someone does,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			Those tyrants and
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			those evil ones and so on. But in
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			essence, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when he spoke
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			about death and the Quran, what did he
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			say?
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			And he been afflicted by the calamity of
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:57
			death.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			So it's moseba. Death in general is moseba.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			Now is it so when it's a moseba,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			do we consider this to be good or
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			bad?
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			Obviously, it's it's considered bad, generally speaking. And
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			Allah says,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			we shall try you with evil
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			and with khair, with good.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:15
			Now
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			evil and good, that's in regards to what?
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			And that's what discussed in the tarsil class
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			on Wednesdays.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:22
			Not in the,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			in the takdir of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			and decree of Allah because
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			all Allah's decree is considered what? Good.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			But it's evil in relation to me as
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			a human being.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			Like if Allah test test somebody by blocking,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			let's say, a business deal for them or
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			going through accidents or maybe illness.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			So in my in my,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			eyes, in my experience, that's bad.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			But if you look at it from the
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:51
			Allah
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			overall decree,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			all Allah's decree is good. There will always
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			be good coming out of it. No doubt
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			about it.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			So that's why we say and
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			evil is not attributed to my Lord. We
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			attribute this only to our our end, from
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			our self. So here when the prophet, salallahu
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			alayhi, said that Allah would say,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			I've taken away his his, his beloved. To
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			me, that's bad, But to Allah,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			there's always good that comes out of it.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			So he says then, what is this person
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			gonna do?
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			Means
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			what? Means delegated their affair and this matter
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			to Allah in hope of the reward. That's
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			the
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			That's what the prophet says in the Quran
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			in the in the hadith.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			If someone fast or does, tahajjud at night
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			of Ramadan,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			out of faith
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			means hoping for the reward. So here, if
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			someone
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			exercises patience in a moment of difficulty like
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			this one and only seeks takes reward from
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			I have no reward for this person but
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:03
			paradise.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			What does that mean?
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			When it comes to, again, dealing with Allah
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:10
			and actions
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			that we deal with Allah, azza wa jal,
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			it's not mathematical.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			It's not like you do one good deed,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			you get something, you know,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			equivalent to it. No. Allah is the most
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			generous is the most generous.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			And patience
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:25
			in a moment
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			that anyone can lose it
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			and and show rationality, but they exercise patience
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			in that moment. Allah
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			is willing to give you for that moment
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			the whole jannah, just be in jannah for
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			that.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			So the last the most generous.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			And we mentioned that before that when it
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			comes to patience,
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			how much reward Allah has given, He didn't
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			mention. He says,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			those who persevere in patient in patients, they
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			shall receive the reward of Allah
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			without measure
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			because there's no price tag
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			on being patient. May Allah
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			protect our loved ones in our life
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			and protect them for us in the.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			Correct us and ask Allah
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			to give us the ability to exercise patience
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			and to have that dudah and contain in
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			our hearts and be grateful to all Allah
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			actions. We ask Allah
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			for us to be in general. And as
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			we are doing this right now, I just
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			wanna bring to attention
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			one of our, brothers in our community,
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			one of our medical doctors, doctor Mahmoud Sabha.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			He is,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			he lives here. His family is here as
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			well too. And he volunteered with a group
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			of doctor that went recently and came back
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			and we have, alhamdulillah,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			that paneled with them. At the time, he
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			was not there because he was actually in
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			in Florida. But he's back in,
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			in Gaza since, May 1st.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			And, as the situation is getting worse and
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			worse, unfortunately, and the occupation forces
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			is now blocking and taking the only passage
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			or safe passage
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			for anybody there through Egypt. They're blocking it
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			right now.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			There are him and around another 20, US
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:10
			doctors, American doctors are trapped there. And, unfortunately,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			occupation forces are denying them,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			safe exit.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			So, they're asking you to appeal to, of
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			course, to your congressmen,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			to your politicians, and go as far as
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21
			the president
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			ask, for their,
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			safe return and safe passage out of Aragaza,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			out of Rafah. There's a video that it's,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			it's online. Some of you might have seen
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			it when he's speaking in the hospital saying,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			look, situation is so dire right now that
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			even staffs and hospitals, they're no longer,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			able to come anymore.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			Like, just to that level, unfortunately, there's so
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			much shortage in terms of the manpower. They're
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			all volunteers.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			Even the locals over there, many of them
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			getting so difficult, so hard on them to
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			that level. So may Allah protect our people
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			to give them peace and tranquility in their
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			We ask Allah to shield them from any
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			harm that might come their way and to
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			bring our brother doctor Mahmoud and the others
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			safely home,
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
