Hamdulillah we praise Allah subhanho wa Taala who has chosen Ramadan as the queen of all months and has blessed us with life and with iman and tequila to fast its days and pray during its nights. And we ask Allah subhana wa Tada to send his Salatin his salaam, upon the one who said Whoever fasts Ramadan with EMA and expecting the reward from Allah Subhana Allah to Allah shall have all of his sins forgiven. My dear brothers and sisters, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah has reminded us in the Quran, that the purpose of Ramadan the purpose of Siyam In fact, the purpose of our religion is to achieve that Taqwa of Allah subhana wa Tada Yeah, you Hello Dina Armando cootie vida como se

00:00:59--> 00:01:45

yarmulke cootie but Allah Allah the name and publikum La La Quinta tekun. O you who believe fasting has been prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you so that you can achieve the consciousness and Taqwa of Allah subhanho wa taala. My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, and today's holds up, I will talk about another goal of fasting an alternative goal which is directly intended by ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and that is the goal of mastering the art of patience of being patient of suburbia. The concept of suburbia is one that occurs constantly throughout the Quran and Sunnah. In fact, it is one of the most common commandments. Almost 100 verses in the Quran mentioned

00:01:45--> 00:02:31

the blessings of patience and commanded us to be patient, and this month, has been linked to patients. Our Prophet sallallahu either he was setting them said that the month of fasting is the month of Sobor shahada Sobor is one of the names of month of Ramadan. So one of the names of the month of Ramadan is shahada Sobor as according to the Hadith and Sunnah on this. And in another Hadith our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, that are so moodiness for southern that fasting is mastering half of all the patients reported in a Timothy. So this month is the month of patience, and fasting is considered to be mastering half of the entire art of patience. And so as we begin

00:02:31--> 00:03:19

this month on the first Friday of this month, let us remind ourselves of the blessings and the beauty of patience and why Allah subhanho wa Taala has legislated it. As for the linking of suburb to this month, the linking of suburbs to the concept of fasting, that is self evident and obvious, because it is during this month that we control ourselves, we are patient, we refrain from the two most essential items to live and that is food and water. In this month, we restrain ourselves from our sensual desires throughout the day, that which is permitted between spouses has become unlawful during the day. This is another mastery of patients. During this month, we restrain ourselves in so

00:03:19--> 00:04:01

many of the sins that we are accustomed to do. In this month, we cut back our sins, we eliminate our sins, we restrain our desires to that which is lawful, and in this month, we restrain ourselves to the worship of Allah throughout the year, much of us we waste too much time. In this month. Every one of us with an ounce of Eman we take advantage of our time that which might be permitted, but it's too luxurious to wasteful. We cut back on it when we dedicate ourselves to the worship of Allah to the recitation of the Quran to the frequenting of the massages. And so the linking of Sabah with this month is obvious and the linking of suburb with the aspect of cm is also obvious. Realize My

00:04:01--> 00:04:44

dear brothers and sisters, that being patient is a part and parcel of being a believer in Allah. And that is why all of the prophets of Allah without exception, have stories in the Quran that embody patience without exception. Every single prophet in the Quran has stories that deal with them mastering the art of patience of them is the prophet know how they his Salam where Allah subhana wa Taala mentions that he was mocked and ridiculed by his people for 950 years of them is the Prophet Ibrahim alayhis salam who was patient time and time again. He was patient to him when he was thrown into the fire by his people. He was patient when he was commanded to sacrifice his son is my email

00:04:44--> 00:04:59

he was patient over and over again. of them is the patience of Musa Moses. How many times Musa has to control his anger in the Quran, even our Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said, Musa was taunted and ridiculed more than I was

00:05:00--> 00:05:47

And He was patient. So even the prophets as I mentioned, the suburb of Musa, the patients of a you the Prophet job, a tube, how much was he tested and tried his family, all of his children were taken away. All of his wealth was taken away. His skin was inflicted with leprosy. He became a pariah. And yet Allah mentions him in the Quran with carrapateena Ayoub remember Our servant, a you? We tested him in order to know who saw the raw, we found him to be a patient servant near him and I had to do in the who a work near my lab, what a great servant he was. Why did Allah praise Ayoub in such a manner because in order to know who saw the rock, we found him to be a patient, prophet, a patient

00:05:47--> 00:06:28

person, our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam before him. Jacobian use of of course as well, the patients of Jakub losing use of the patience of use of being tempted being thrown in jail. Each and every prophet in the Quran becomes a symbol of perfecting the art of patience, and of course, our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as well mastered that aspect of this religion, which is to be patient for the sake of Allah, how many stories how many incidents of the zero where we could see that our prophets are some controlled himself controlled his anger he was patient for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada the incident of Thor if the conquest of Makkah, the

00:06:28--> 00:07:14

harsh Bedouins that he had to deal with each and every time again, he continued to demonstrate what is the reality of mastering patience, and that is why my dear brothers and sisters, Saba is linked with iman. If you have Eman, you will have supper. And if you don't have supper, then in reality you have not perfected Iman Sobor and Eman go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other. Allah Subhana Allah Allah mentions in the Quran, literally dozens of verses as I said, one of the most common commandments one of the most frequent mentions in the Quran over 100 times almost Allah mentions patience, some of those verses Allah subhana wa Tada praises true righteousness. He says in

00:07:14--> 00:07:57

the Quran and the verse we recited yesterday in our salah, les Sal Berra, it is not righteousness, whether you turn east or west towards the table, but true righteousness is and then a long list begins one paragraph and Allah finishes this lift will solve it in if you will borrow enough buzz, and those who are patient. true righteousness is to demonstrate Patience, patience, when you are afflicted with poverty filled Betsa what the raw when you're inflicted with calamity. So when you don't have money, or when you have some disease, some sickness, some loved one is in pain filled bets that you will borrow it were handled by us and during times of war. If you are patient in these

00:07:57--> 00:08:37

times, it can Ladino Sadako these are the people that have demonstrated they are truthful. What would I go home and want to own and they are the true righteous people. Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions in the Quran that those who are patient, I shall give them glad tidings, what best * is solid in give them good news. Give them good news Allah and the angels say to those who are patient, I am giving you good news who are those that are patient Alladhina either. Asaba Tomasi, Baton Callooh in de la he was in LA he wrote your own whenever a calamity afflicts them, they don't lose hope. They don't become pessimistic, they remain optimistic. They have a cheerful attitude of Allah

00:08:37--> 00:09:18

and of the Day of Judgment and they say to Allah, we belong unto Him we shall return. So Allah says we're best should have sobbing, give them good news, they shall be happy, they shall rejoice, their pain, their suffering, their anguish will be turned into a time of joy on the Day of Judgment, what best * is sobbing, give them the good news and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada mentions that it is through patience, that one will be saved, one will be saved from the punishment of Allah while sitting in an insanity hosted Illa Allah Dena Amanu Well, I mean, who saw the Hardy what wall so Bill, somebody what oh also will help deal with the loss of the sub, to be patient to master the art of patience.

00:09:18--> 00:09:57

So while sober sub it means you're advising one another to be patient, not only are you patient, you tell your family, you tell your loved ones, at times of calamity, we need to be patient during this difficult time. So you demonstrate patience in your own life. And you also become a role model for patients to your family and friends and relatives. These are the people that Allah says they will not be destroyed in that instead if it was an ill, Adina Avenue except for those who believe and do good and they follow the truth and they advise one another with patience. And that is why my dear brothers and sisters, Allah loves those who are patient. Allah loves them and Allah is with them. In

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

the Quran. There are only a hand

00:10:00--> 00:10:44

Full of verses where Allah says, I love such and such. Some scholars have mentioned a dozen or a little bit more than this, just a few adjectives that Allah says I love this category of people of those. Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Will love who you hate Busaba it in. Allah loves those who are patient. And Allah says that in Allah ma sobbing, Allah is with those who are patient. So Allah is with them, when they feel they have nobody, when they feel everyone has been taken away. They have been betrayed when they feel that their family has gone or they've lost a loved one. Allah says, I am with them. In Allah, Hamas sobbing Allah is with them. No Muslim should ever feel alone. No

00:10:44--> 00:11:24

believer should ever feel abandoned because that person that believer has Allah subhana wa Allah because Allah has promised if you are patient, then I shall be with you. And that is why a patient believer, a patient believer is worth much more than a believer who does not have patience. Allah subhana wa Tada mentions in the Quran in those famous verses of Surah Al and file that the people of Makkah, the people of Medina, the Muslims were complaining, we don't have enough numbers to fight the Quran. The Quran are too numerous, they are much more than us. What does Allah say in the Quran in your common commercial rune or saw the Luna Yaga labelmate attain? If you have 20 people who are

00:11:24--> 00:12:09

patient amongst you notice Allah gave the adjective if you have 20, who are patient, they shall overcome 200 of them. So one person that is patient is equal to 10 who don't have patience. So look at how Allah Subhana Allah Allah has praised the reality of patients in the Quran, as well. Allah links His forgiveness and Paradise and the heights of paradise to being patient. Once again I repeat, ALLAH links His forgiveness to patients. Allah says in the Quran, Allah Allah Dino Saba, why middle Saudi hottie hola ecohome, Mo Farah, those who are patient and do good, they will be the ones who are forgiven. So forgiveness from Allah is linked to patience and entering Jana and the highest

00:12:09--> 00:12:40

ranks of Jana are also linked to being patient. Allah says in the Quran, that the people of Jana, the people of Jana, the mala Iike y'all who don't obey Him and Cooley BB, the angels are entering upon them from every single door. So imagine you are in Janna, reclining on the couches of Jana, seeing the beauty of Jana and the angels are coming to greet you. What are they saying? What is the phrase of the angels Santa Mona, it can be impossible to

00:12:41--> 00:13:26

peace beyond you because you were patient. So the people of Jana got into Jana, and are being honored by the angels why salaam en la condemn us about him. Peace be on you because you demonstrated patience. So the angels have linked your place in Ghana and your status in Ghana with the reality of you demonstrating patience in this world and not just any place of Jannah Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions the highest places of gender or Allah zone. Al Horford have emails about who they shall be given the highest ranks. The horror in the Quran means the highest chambers of gender be ma Sabado because they were patient. So patience gets you to the highest level of Jannah.

00:13:26--> 00:14:09

And in fact, Allah Himself will congratulate you for having demonstrated patience, quite literally in the Quran. Allah Himself will congratulate you. Allah says in the Quran in Niger is a to whom Allah Yama BML Sabado, under whom whom Allah is on today, Allah speaking in the first person and it is not common. Allah typically speaks in the third person, we shall do this or they shall be blessed. But in this verse, Allah speaks in the first person, he addresses us directly in New Jersey to human Yo Ma Ma Sabado. Today, I shall give them all that they have earned, because they were patient. So Allah Himself will take on the responsibility of rewarding those who are patient. And

00:14:09--> 00:14:50

then Allah says, because they are the ones under whom whole fat is doing, they are the ones who have won the race. You know, in the Quran. There's this metaphor of racing to Jana, of winning the race, who are the real winners, Allah says the ones who are patient in the home woman is on they're the ones who won the race in front of everybody else. And my dear brothers and sisters, the one who is patient has a guarantee from Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, that Allah will help this person. When you feel all other avenues are cut off. When you feel alone, you must turn to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah because Allah has promised that the one who is patient, there is a guarantee Allah will take

00:14:50--> 00:14:59

care of him. Allah says in the Quran Bella in hospital water who were to come in folded caminhada human did come Rob bow come become Sati other feminine man

00:15:00--> 00:15:39

ICCA Allah is mentioning the Battle of water and the Battle of brotherhood as well. These verses are current both of these battles that if you are just patient, instead of being hasty, if you're just patient and you have your trust in Allah and Taqwa in Allah, Allah will send down 5000 angels to help you on that battle. And Allah links immediately patients with his aid burner in tusks bureau. So once again, if on the battle of better when you're facing Ebola hub, you're facing Abuja, hell, you're facing the 1000 army of courage and you're not even armed. And Allah says, if you're patient, I will send down 5000 angels to help you which is exactly what happened as we know if that's gonna

00:15:39--> 00:16:17

happen on the bottle of butter. How about my and your trivial problems? If we're patient and that, cannot Allah solve those problems? How about my problems of finance, my problem is a family my problems of interactions, my problems of life. This is the reality of this world. We all go through our problems, and Allah azza wa jal has told us, we need to go through all of these problems, having mastered the art of patience, and that is why our Prophet sallallahu either he was setting them said, no one has been given something that is better or more vast than patience, it is the best blessing to be given. Because again, patience and the man go hand in hand, you cannot be patient,

00:16:17--> 00:17:02

unless you have Iman in Allah. And if you have Iman and Allah then that will also come with patience, and the ones who are patient shall be rewarded double for all they have done. For all they have done, they get a double A bonus reward. Allah says Hola, Echo, tone, a gentle hum martini, be mouse about all those people will be rewarded double because they were patient. In fact, not just double, not just double. The only time in the Quran that Allah mentions I shall reward without measure. without counting, forget double forget triple forget times 10 Forget time 700 times infinity. The only time Allah says it is what is when it comes to patience in your welfare.

00:17:02--> 00:17:51

sabudana. Jerome believed in his the ones who are patient, they shall be returned their reward without any measure or counting. Allah will not count how many times extra reward you are getting, once you have mastered the art of patience, and my dear brothers and sisters, the rewards of patience, the blessings of patience go on, and on and on. But the question arises, what is patience? And how is it demonstrated? What exactly is patience? And how is it demonstrated? My dear brothers and sisters realize that the reason why patience is so difficult to master is that patience is in reality, inaction and inactivity. Patience is to do nothing to master what you feel like doing. That

00:17:51--> 00:18:37

is the reality of patience. It is easy to do something when you're irritated when you're angry. When you're sad. When you're grieving. You feel like doing something. Patience tells you to master and not do that which Allah does not want you to do. So patience means you're feeling something inside, but it is not being shown on the outside the grief, the anger, the anguish, the frustration, whatever it is, patience means you let it remain there and not show it on the outside. And that is why patience is so difficult, because patience is not an action. Patience is inaction. I repeat patients is not an action. Patience is inaction. You don't do anything. Someone has died, your loved

00:18:37--> 00:19:14

one has passed away, you control your tongue. You do not well mon Greve in a manner that is an Islamic you keep your tongue in check. You lose your job, something bad happens. You do not start moaning and complaining. Why is this happening to me? I don't deserve this to happen. A stop fit Allah Who are you to challenge the wisdom of Allah? Who are you to stand up and say, Why is this happening? Are you Allah? Or are you a servant of Allah? If you are a true servant of Allah, then you say in the law he were in the illegal Raj your own Oh Allah You are my Lord. I don't understand. But I trust you. I trust whatever has happened has happened for the best I don't understand. But

00:19:14--> 00:19:55

that's because my wisdom is limited. I am not questioning your wisdom. Oh Allah, I am questioning my wisdom and I trust you Oh Allah, you will make things better for me. This is patience, your attitude, your optimism, your Eman your words that you save the actions that you do. We are prohibited in Islam from welding and grieving from beating ourselves when somebody dies. This is all haram when somebody passes away we demonstrate patience when we lose a job when any calamity happens when we're in grief. We need to master ourselves and remember what our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in nama Cebu in the submittal Allah rememorize this hadith brothers and sisters because

00:19:55--> 00:20:00

patients according to this hadith is demonstrated at the first stroke of CA

00:20:00--> 00:20:45

calamity, patience is demonstrated at the first stroke of calamity, ie when you hear the news, how do you react? That is your patience. Everybody becomes patient in two years and two months in two days, everybody becomes patient, you have to deal with it. True patients as demonstrated when as soon as you find out the news, as soon as you hear that big disaster, what will be your reaction in nama sobre in the submitted Hola, Saba is demonstrated at the stroke of calamity and in order to prepare yourself for that stroke, you need to master Patience, patience is not learned after the calamity happens. Patience has to be earned before so that when the calamity strikes, you are able

00:20:45--> 00:21:26

to control yourself in a patient manner. And hence my dear brothers and sisters, we get back to the issue of fasting because fasting is what allows us to master our patients fasting is when we withhold ourselves from that which is necessary to live our food our drink on this hot day, we are mastering that which is necessary in order to demonstrate to Allah, if I can live without food and water, then I can live without committing sins. If I can live without food and water, then I can live without wailing and groaning and moaning. If I can live without food and water that I can live without disobeying Allah subhanho wa Taala we are mastering day by day night by night, every single

00:21:26--> 00:22:10

day we're honing in and that is why just fasting will perfect half of patience. Of course, not all of it because there are other things that need to be done as well. But just the act of fasting will get us 50% of the reality of patients. And my dear brothers and sisters realize as well, that patience is so beloved to Allah, that of the names of Allah is the One who is patient of Cebu of the names of Allah is a Cebu. So Allah characterized himself with that attribute that he loves so much. And how is Allah a Cebu? Our Prophet system gave just one example, just one example. And of course this name is a whole lot but in and of itself, he said, Allah there is no one who is more possible

00:22:10--> 00:22:55

than Allah. No one has more support than Allah. His servants deny him, curse him reject him. People negate Allah's existence. People say bad things about Allah, and yet he continues to provide for them their needs their food there drink there, merriment. Subhan Allah if somebody says one half bad phrase about us, we abandon him for years. If we hear on the rumor grapevine that somebody has disparaged us call us all good is cut off Allah azza wa jal, here's his servants saying such things about him, rejecting him mocking him denying Him and yet look he is providing for all of them. That's one of the manifestations of His name, or Cebu. That's one of the manifestations of Allah's

00:22:55--> 00:23:36

Sauber and that is a divine characteristic that we are told to emulate as much as we can that when something happens we as well turn the other cheek we as well demonstrate our patience my dear brothers and sisters, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada mentions in the Quran, which is our home be Masamoto, Janet and wahat era they reward for having been patient was to enter agenda and to taste all of the blessings of Jannah. So indeed, let us think about the reality of sober as we go through this month. Let us master sober one bit at a time. Let us appreciate that one of the goals of fasting is to master at least half of this beautiful concept of sober May Allah make us amongst those who are

00:23:36--> 00:23:48

patient BarakAllahu welcome from Canada. Wonderful anyway, yeah, they might see him he was declared Hakeem acordo Mata Simone was stopped for longer I don't even know what what is that in Western medical exam infested guru in Navajo or food or Rahim?

00:24:00--> 00:24:30

Al Hamdulillah hit wa Hill ahead, or some other lady Amelia Voila, Mueller. Voila, Mia Kula hookah one ahead whereby you can ask the brothers to move forward there are people outside and we don't want to have anybody outside today. So squeezing as much as you can. Scholars have mentioned that patience is of three types. There are three types of patients My dear brothers and sisters, the first type of patience, which is the lowest level, the lowest level is to demonstrate patience when a calamity afflicts you.

00:24:31--> 00:25:00

This is the lowest level because it's out of your control. You cannot dictate your circumstances, you lose a job, financial catastrophe, the death of a loved one, you cannot dictate it. So to demonstrate patience here means what? You control your tongue and you have an optimistic attitude with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. You don't have to understand. You can feel sad. It's human nature to feel sad. You can cry, you can grieve but you cannot question the wisdom.

00:25:00--> 00:25:36

Are the mercy or the love of Allah subhana wa Tada. You cannot question it in your heart much less verbalize it in your tongue. So patience here means to control even your thoughts. Even your thoughts need to be controlled at a time of calamity and especially your tongue and you do not question the wisdom of Allah subhana wa Tada. This is the lowest level of patience, and it is one that indeed, Allah azza wa jal mentions that this is one of those levels that whoever masters it has an especially at the death of a loved one, I will prophesy to mention that of the greatest calamities and there are many Hadith about this is to lose a young one a child is to lose a child

00:25:36--> 00:26:16

and that is why losing a child and being patient is automatically linked to being entered into Jannah. There are many Hadith about the one who is patient at the death of a young one that the child and they demonstrate their patience, Allah azza wa jal will cause that child to hold on to his parents hands and insist in front of Allah, no matter what his parents have done, they were patient at his death insists that they will come into Jannah with his hands. So this is of that level, which is to demonstrate patience at the time of a calamity. The second level of patience is to be patient, and restrain yourself from committing sins and disobeying Allah. Now, this at times is more

00:26:16--> 00:26:56

difficult, because committing sins is in front of us, we have the luxury the option of committing so many sins. Being patient here means controlling, withholding with with with straining, holding ourselves back, reining ourselves in checking ourselves in, we don't go and do something that is tempting in front of us. And this level of patience is one that the month of Ramadan helps us to master. Think about it. In Ramadan, we are withholding ourselves from food and water. We're withholding ourselves from the sensual pleasures. So we're learning to withhold ourselves from that which is not allowed for us. The only reason we don't eat and drink Allah says don't eat and drink

00:26:56--> 00:27:39

so we don't. So then how about Allah says, don't drink alcohol, don't take drugs, don't do this, don't do that. The lists are there. So when we master withholding ourselves from food and water, we're also mastering withholding ourselves from the other sins and the highest level of patience, which is really the most difficult because it's so casual because we don't even think about it is to be patient, ie to restrain yourself away from time wasters and restrict yourself to that which is beneficial and the worship of Allah to constantly be worshipping Allah subhana wa Tada to be patient ie withhold yourself restrain yourself from that which is maybe even head on maybe even permissible,

00:27:40--> 00:28:25

but too much of permissible also becomes my crew. So to withhold yourself from too much of permissible things too much of fallibility, too much of time wasters and to be more beneficial to do extra Quran extra salah, extra vicar extra charity, and once again, the month of Ramadan teaches us this type of patience as well because all of us we began doing a little bit extra, some extra Quran some extra charity, the month of Ramadan is the month of all types of Riba. So we ingrain ourselves to be patient in the worship of Allah subhana wa Tada and this is what Allah azza wa jal mentions in the Quran. What more Electabuzz Salatu was Salam ALA, command your family to pray, and be patient as

00:28:25--> 00:29:09

you command them to pray? Be patient, what stupid idea that's the highest level to you, yourself and your family constantly be worshiping ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and being demonstrating patience in this regard, brothers and sisters remember as well, that this whole life, according to our religion is a life of tests and trials. And therefore, every one of us will be tested and tried in different ways. But all of us are tested and tried. And the one major mechanism to overcome and pass those tests and trials is what it is patience, and that is why Allah says was steady new. The subsidy was salah, we're in a hurry to Kabira to an elder and of course you're in seek Allah's help when you face the

00:29:09--> 00:29:49

calamities when you have any problems seek Allah's help. What's the angel? Life is difficult. You need help. What help are you going to get Allah munches two things? What's the ayanova subsidy was salah, seek help through sober patience and through Salah prayer. At times of difficulty that's a separate topic inshallah. Maybe another week of Ramadan. We'll talk about the Salah, but our Prophet says I'm his mother, our mother Isha said our mother Aisha said whenever our Prophet system was troubled with anything, whenever something bothered him, what would he do fuzzier in a Salah he would rush to stand in Salah Salah would make him calm so that would make him conquer those problems

00:29:49--> 00:29:59

those fears those frustrations so patience and Salah are the two things that Allah has told us to seek help and and also realize my dear brothers and sisters that beautiful

00:30:00--> 00:30:41

verse in the Quran that Allah tells us fosterville sovereign, Jamila, be patient, a beautiful patience. So patience is of levels and the highest level is a beautiful patience and a beautiful patience is one when people don't even realize you're being patient. Nobody knows other than Allah that you're being patient. That is the perfection of patience. Nobody can see you're frustrated, nobody can see you're agitated, nobody can see that you're feeling anger, you have mastered it so much that only Allah knows and that is the perfection which Allah says fosterville sabalan Jamila perfect your patience until it is a perfect and beautiful patience and the final Hadith that I

00:30:41--> 00:31:24

remind myself in all of you is that how does one achieve patience my dear brothers and sisters? Well, there is no easy mechanism fasting is one of them to perfect our fast but the main mechanism of achieving patience is to want patience from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada to be eager to be patient to be greedy to be blessed with patience and this we learn from the beautiful Hadith Sahih Bukhari and it's such a simple such a profound Hadith it's a hadith that I want us to memorize so that we are prepared for when a calamity strikes us women yet I saw bar you saw Bill hola woman yet ASABE bird you saw beautiful law, whoever desires to be patient, you have to sub bar he actively wants to be

00:31:24--> 00:32:06

patient. You saw beautiful love Allah azza wa jal will give him the patience he requires. What a beautiful Hadith there is no magic trick. There is no mechanism other than wanting to be patient, woman yet ASABE bar when the calamity happens, you realize you know what I need to be patient. Oh Allah helped me to be patient, woman yet or sub bar whoever wants that suburb you saw beautiful Allah, Allah will give him that suburb that he or she needs and requires. It's that simple. My dear brothers and sisters, you want to be patient. Then demonstrate to Allah show to Allah have that desire and guess what Allah has promised. You want that patience, you will get it and ALLAH SubhanA
