Yaser Birjas – Remaining Patient For Allahs Sake

Yaser Birjas
AI: Summary © 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.

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

are just volunteering their time. And now it's

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

in gazarab alamin.

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

We ask Allah for their protection. We ask

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

Allah subhanahu to keep them safe. We ask

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

Allah, azza wajal, to remove that trial of.

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

We ask Allah to give them victory against

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

the oppressors, and we ask

00:10:09 --> 00:10:10

Allah to deliver them victorious

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

to give them peace and tranquility in their

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

lives. We ask Allah to restore peace and

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

tranquility in their lives

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

We ask Allah

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

for their patience and for their dedication to

00:10:31 --> 00:10:31

this

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

Any question,
