			hamdulillah we praise Allah subhanho wa Taala for He alone is worthy of praise. We praise him for
having guided us and created us. We praise him for having gifted us the gift of Islam. We praise him
for every single blessing he has given us, the blessings we recognize, and the blessings we do not
recognize. And we asked him to send his Salatin Salaam upon the one who was sent as attending the
mean. Dear Muslims, Allah subhanho wa Taala has reminded us to be conscious of him throughout the
origin for he says, Yeah, you have Latina Amano, taco la porta potti wa Mouton in our anti muslim on
		

			the times that we live in. It is inevitable that the situation sometimes overwhelms us. Sometimes we
become sad feelings of despair. We look at the reality
		

			tease of the pandemic of the economic situation of the politics of Islamophobia. And it is very easy
to fall into sadness to fall into a sense of where's the hope in all of this. And it is at times
like this, that we have to remind ourselves of one of the pillars of our faith, one of the pillars
of eemaan, which is explicitly mentioned in the Quran. And the Arabic term is very important as
well, even though Unfortunately, not many of us are aware of it. And that is the term arogya, the
term of Raja the concept of a Raja is a fundamental pillar of a man and it is linked in our belief
in Allah subhanho wa Taala. And it means that we are optimistic and we think the best thoughts about
		

			Allah subhana wa Tada. It means that we have a positive yearning. That's what Raja means you're
expecting the best, you're hoping for the best. This concept of Raja it is so important that Allah
subhana wa tada has described it as a characteristic of Eamon, your junella hero, they have the
origin of the hero, your June urashima topic, they have Raja of dorama of Allah subhana wa Tada. And
in fact, we should also learn from this era, one of the greatest setbacks for the Muslim community
was the tragedy of offroad. It was a tragedy that literally caused a shock amongst the Sahaba It was
a tragedy that did cause despair, to set into the ranks of the Sahaba. And the La xojo reminded them
		

			cheered them up, gave them comfort in sort of Milan, and one phrase he said that when he knew don't
give up hope what I said Oh, don't feel sad. And then Allah xojo describes how can you be sad? What
sort of June I mean Allah Hema, your June when you have a job with a law, and they have no right job
with a law, literally, in a time of catastrophe. In a time of sadness. Allah subhana wa tada said to
the believers, how can you feel the same as those others the kurush How can your philosophy be the
same when you have a job in a law and they don't have a job in Allah subhanho wa Taala so what does
it mean to have a job? And what are the categories of a job? And what happens when we have this
		

			concept of our job in Allah subhana wa Tada. That will be some brief points of today's
		

			webinar km defines our job as thinking or believing that the vastness of Allah's mercy is going to
have an impact on you to have a man in the vastness in the Sierra of dorama of Allah subhana wa
Tada. And to believe that Allah Zahra hammer will be manifested in your life. That is what Raja
means. And in fact, in one passage, he says that Raja is linked to a man in a law because he asks a
rhetorical question, no one or he says How can anybody who knows Allah's names and attributes not be
optimistic? How can anybody who understands that Allah is Rahman and Allah is Rahim and Allah is
Alberto and Allah is Karim and Allah is unaware of sin. Ignore him says, How can anybody who knows
		

			these names, not be optimistic at all good coming from Allah subhana wa Tada. It is in the nature of
the Divine to be good and merciful. So when we believe in the names of the Divine, when we believe
in Allah subhana wa tada automatically that should bring about a feeling of positive energy, a
feeling of optimism, and that is why Raja is linked with a man in a law. If you know who Allah is,
you will be optimistic, simple as that if you understand the names and attributes of Allah, you will
always look and think positive of the future. And there are many categories of our job and in
today's world, but we'll mention only five Of course, there's more than these, but there are five
		

			primary categories of a job, the first of them are job, to expect a large reward for our good deeds.
If we gave some charity we have a job that Allah is going to accept and grant us His blessings. If
we are good to other people. If we are praying and fasting, any good deed that we do, we have Raja
that Allah azza wa jal will bless us. And of course, the highest manifestation of this Raja is to
have Raja in Allah's genda to have a job that Allah is going to give us genda every one of us
without exception dear Muslims, every one of us should have the hope.
		

			of entering gender. Do not give that hope of no matter how sinful you are, because Allah nature is
to forgive I gave it What about two weeks ago go back to that hold but we should have Raja hope that
Allah is going to forgive us and again and grant us gender. The second category of Raja already
mentioned it briefly and that is that Allah shall forgive our sins. The first category, Allah shall
bless our good deeds, Allah will reward our good deeds. The second category of Rajab, Allah shall
forgive our sins, and I gave a hookah to three weeks ago about how important that principle is that
yes, every believer should have a hope of Allah's mercy never give up hope in the Lord's mercy for
		

			forgiveness. So the first two categories that you want Allah to bless you for good deeds, and you
want to love to forgive your sins. This is something that is fundamental to our Eman in Allah
subhanho wa Taala the third category of Rajab the third category of our job, and this is the agenda
of the elite of the pious of the righteous that a jar of those that have the highest level of Eman.
The third category is Raja in the meeting of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Looking forward to meeting
Allah subhana wa tada the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said men have balika Allahu Allah who
they call who whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him. The Quran tells us that Allah
		

			aka June they are hoping for that they are caught with their Lord. They want to look forward to
meeting Allah subhana wa Tada. They're excited to meet Allah subhana wa tada and that is the job of
the ultra pious, the more sin the Motoki, that a jar of those who are in sha Allah to either they've
reached a level of human they're confident, even as they fear of course the opposite. They're
confident that I'm looking forward to Jenna, I want to see Allah subhana wa Tada. That is the job of
the highest category. The fourth and fifth categories origin of this world, the first three are more
religious, the fourth and fifth are of this dunya. The fourth category of Raja is Raja, when you
		

			make dua for something, you have an optimistic attitude that Allah is going to give you what you
asked for. Okay, our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Never make dua to Allah, accept that
you are certain that Allah will give you what you're asking for this is our job, you have a certain
is that I know Allah is going to answer my da that is the highest form as well that you are having
this added to that how can the semir hear my drop? And how can the rock man see my need? And how can
the carry him be asked and not give me from his gun? So we make do with the utmost Raja, we want a
loss response. And we're confident that Allah subhana wa, tada will respond to our da, this is the
		

			fourth category of our job. And the final category of our job is to expect our difficult situation
to become easy to expect our situation right now. Whether it's job, whether it's family, whether
it's the pandemic, whatever it might be, but you have optimism and Raja, that the current climate
that you're in whatever it might be the problem you're facing the crisis that is troubling you that
inshallah Tada, it will change soon. If not today, tomorrow, if not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow
and you constantly have Raja, that your negative will become a positive and your cause for despair
will become a cause of hope and your grief will become happiness. There is an always never ending
		

			source of optimism coming from the heart of the believer. Why? Because the believers optimism comes
from his Iman in Allah subhanahu wa Tada. And this is something that even the Quran mentions this
category of a job that in the context of certain Surat that Allah says if the parents asked you have
your wealth and you don't have that wealth, right, then the Koran says that way my two children and
home of de la hemmati mirrabooka tell you, if you have to turn away, not able to give your parents
what they're asking for, but you're still hoping tomorrow Juha that Allah will give it to you later
on meaning the concept here is you don't have the money and your parents are in wanting some money
		

			from you. So the Quran is saying if you have to turn away from them do so gently. Don't be nasty and
say I don't have anything to do with gently say inshallah, it will come and then Allah says, If you
met me, Rebecca taboo, you're still wanting Allah Rama and you're hoping Allah will give you that
risk that you don't have right now. And that is our job for this world out a job for an increase in
your paycheck or a jar for your bank account to go up and allow uses the term or a job and Allah
says Don't worry, have Raja you will get it and you'll be able to give to your parents in shallow
data. But don't be mean
		

			Nasty when you cannot give it that time. So Raja is not only allowed, it is explicitly linked to our
current situation, to depressing scenarios, to financial problems to grief and worries in our
marriage, whatever it might be. Our Imani and Allah subhanahu wa taala tells us that we should have
a job. And of course there are many benefits of our job and of them. Obviously, when we have our
job, we become optimistic about life itself, about anything that happens we're optimistic that
inshallah tomorrow is going to be better. It gives us a sense of positive energy or a job as well.
It helps us in our worship, it drives us forward to do good deeds, it drives us to make dua to Allah
		

			subhana wa tada to ask for Allah's forgiveness over all that makes you a better human being in every
aspect of life, in your rituals in your goodness to other people in your optimism with Allah subhana
wa tada in coping with the stress of this world Rajat brings about nothing but good in every aspect
of life. And of course, most importantly, Raja brings about a love for Allah subhana wa tada and
tawakkol in a law and a constant wanting to ask Allah subhanahu wa Tada. So Raja, do you have
brothers and sisters is one of the fundamental pillars of our faith in Allah subhanho wa Taala. So
much so that many of our early scholars they said that Allah azza wa jal is worshiped based upon
		

			three emotions of hope. Well hope what Raja that we worship a lot because we love a lot. We worship
a lot because we're fearful of his punishment. And we worship a lot because we're hopeful in Him and
His mercy. That is how important that is. It becomes one of the top pillars and motivational factors
of our Eman and worship and Allah subhana wa tada May Allah azza wa jal bless me and you will send
through the Koran and may He makers of those who is vs. They understand and applies halal and haram
throughout our lifespan. I asked all those forgiveness years, we'll ask him for his love of food and
the ramen.
		

			hamdulillah All praise is due to a law, the one and the unique. He it is that we worship and it is
his aid that we seek. He is the Lord of the oppressed, and the one who answers the door of the week.
The Muslims, the term Raja is a very accurate term. And it is in contrast to other terms that are
not positive, for example, to many or even an orderly abdomen that is not used in the Quran,
generally speaking to describe to describe this reality and concept. What is the difference between
the right job and between other such terms like other versions of hope you're all aware that Arabic
is a vast language and the same adjective in English, one language, one word in English has maybe 10
		

			in Arabic, right? you're all aware of this. So why did Allah use the term but our job and not use,
for example, too many, because Raja is a conviction that brings about a change in one's actions. And
to many in the Arabic language, it is simply a thought that doesn't actually bring about a change in
your life. And we shouldn't just have too many without having some action based upon that. Right. So
the point being, that when you actually have Raja in Allah subhanho, wa Taala, when you have genuine
Raja, it is going to impact your lifestyle is going to have a difference. And this is in contrast to
the one who does nothing. Let's say that he's living a very sinful lifestyle, right? He doesn't do
		

			out make up, he doesn't pray, he doesn't do anything. And then you go to and say, Oh, I have Raja
that Allah will forgive me. No, this is not a job. This is a foolish desire. Raja means your actions
are demonstrating you have a true hope. And if you truly hopeful it will demonstrate in your
connection with a lump in your constant asking for forgiveness in your doing of good deeds, because
you want a lot to reward you go back to the five categories of Rajat, right, every one of those
categories is going to impact your life, you're going to be doing good deeds, expecting a lot to
reward you, you're going to be asking forgiveness, expecting a lot to forgive you. You're going to
		

			be thinking about piano and the day of judgment and wanting to meet Allah subhana wa Tada, that's
the concept of exam, you're going to be making dua to Allah and overall you're going to have a
positive attitude in life, right? That is the term that I jot and that's why it's used in the Quran
and Sunnah and asked for the term too many and other such terms, then those terms in and of
themselves do not have the implications of what we are talking about. Therefore, we have to
differentiate between mere abstract concepts of desire and genuine yaqeen that Allah xojo is Rahman
Rahim and Kareem and manaan, that Allah azzawajal will cause the positive change
		

			And that will bring the change in your life dear Muslims insha Allah to Allah we make dua to Allah
that tomorrow will be better than today that the pandemic is going to wind down that the vaccines
will be effective we have that yaqeen we have that positive Raja inshallah tada we are hopeful that
soon our massage it will be packed like they used to be we'll be praying in the main hall again we
open to allow it to either we pray inshallah tada that soon soon we're going to be back to normal
and life is going to go back to normal. That's what Rajat means and it gives us hope every day and
every night. It makes us better people, better Muslims, better humans better citizens in every
		

			aspect that causes a positive impact in our lives. And the more we know Allah subhanho wa Taala the
more our job is going to be May Allah make us of those who have perfected their Raja Aloma in the
