hamdulillah salatu salam ala Rasulillah who Allah Allah he will be here woman who Allah. Our first verse for the month of Ramadan is going to be looking at Surah Nisa first 104 a very profound verse in which Allah subhana wa Tada says that intercooler water and ammonia for inner homea and ammonia come at the moon. What are you gonna mean Allah He Mernda your June? What can Allah who I Lehmann Hekima the verse came down after the Battle of OIT and the Battle of what our prophets of Allah who either he was selling was wounded, his face was bleeding from three different places. 70 of the Sahaba had been killed. The uncle of the Prophet system had been martyred. The Muslims really felt

00:01:06--> 00:01:53

demoralized, it is factual to point out in the entirety of the Sierra, no incident made them feel more demoralized than what happened at Orchard. And Allah revealed after that battle into Kuno talamona. If you're in pain, then know that they too are in pain, like you are in pain. But there is a difference between the two pains. The two are not the same. If you are in pain, they are in pain. If you are bleeding, they are bleeding if you have lost some people, they have lost some people but the two are not the same. Why are they not the same? What are June I mean Allah Hema Allah your June you have an optimistic hope in Allah. You are expecting something from Allah that they have no

00:01:53--> 00:02:05

expectations for, and indeed Allah is it him and Allah is Hakeem, Allah is all wise and Allah azza wa jal is all knowledgeable. Now from this verse Let us derive five wisdoms wisdom number one,

00:02:06--> 00:02:53

pain, suffering tragedy grief comes to Muslims, Allah affirms this you are in pain, if you're in pain, ya rasool Allah, all Muslims, if it hurts, which means life is going to hurt. Life is going to be painful. Let no buddy assume that just because I have Iman life is going to be easy. Who told you so? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was in pain. The Prophet Sessoms heart was hurt because of what the Quran did. His face was bleeding because of the attacks. His body had been bruised because they physically hit him. Iman is not going to stop you from the tragedies of life. Your faith in Allah doesn't mean this dunya is going to be a bed of roses who said that in Turku, nota

00:02:53--> 00:03:36

Ala Moana, if you are in pain, Allah affirms the Prophet system was in pain. If he was in pain, do you think me and you are not going to be in pain? If he bled? Do you think man you are not going to bleed if the Muslims suffered defeat? Do you not think later Muslims are going to suffer their own defeats as well. And so wisdom number one, pain and suffering, tragedy and grief are a part and parcel of this life and the more men will also face that pain and tragedy. Point number two for in the homea Allah moon, pain and tragedy is equally given Muslim and Kapha. And this leads us to our second wisdom. This world is not the abode of demonstrating Allah's pleasure with you. Allah says in

00:03:36--> 00:04:20

the Quran, Allah says in the Quran, Kula knowmad Doha Hola, hola. I mean, Arabic both groups the righteous and the wicked, the Muslim and the kaffir. Both of them we are going to give them from this dunya our Prophet system said Hadith in them was study by Muhammad, our Prophet salah the son of said, Allah gives this world to the one whom he loves, and he gives it to the one whom he hates. This is a Hadith, Allah gives this dunya to both people, Allah azza wa jal gives this dunya to people. In other words, this dunya is not the ultimate test of our status in the eyes of Allah. The Muslim is a billionaire and the calf is a billionaire, the Muslim is suffering tragedy and the

00:04:20--> 00:04:30

kaffir is suffering tragedy. This world is not the abode of demonstrating Allah's final and ultimate status that you have in his eyes. So for in the home. Yeah, and

00:04:31--> 00:05:00

they too are in pain as you are in pain, Allah the prophets have said, Allah gives this dunya to the one whom he loves, and the one who he despises, but he only gives the religion to the one whom he loves. That's what the Hadith finishes that he only gives the deen to the one whom he loves. So Allah consoles the Muslims, your tragedies and their tragedies are going to happen into Cullotta Ala Moana for India homea and the moon what is the difference wisdom number three, what are Jun Amina?

00:05:00--> 00:05:44

Hola Hema, Allah, your June our iman, our you're clean our telecoil, our last our Raja, our hope in Allah that is the difference. The true tragedies are not the same. The two sufferings are not equal, the two pains are never going to be equivalent, the pain of the Muslim, the pain of the movement, the pain of the one who has demanded Allah is not the same as the pain of one who doesn't believe in a God. That martyrdom, the tragedies, the suffering of the believers is never going to be the same as the suffering of those who don't believe in Allah Subhana Allah to Allah so Allah gives us consolation. Allah gives us optimism. Allah gives us a window of Hope all Muslims, the two tragedies

00:05:44--> 00:06:24

are not the same. Why? Because you have Iman and with iman, you will have optimism you will have a hope in Allah. What is that hope? Two types of hope. There's a worldly hope and there's a religious order, we hope, the worldly hope you hope for Allah's aid your hope for Allah has nothing you hope for Allah's victory, you hope for Allah's miracles, because when Allah decides to do something, the small army will defeat the large army, the single person will defeat the crowd. So you hope and Allah Subhana Allah to Allah in this dunya as Allah says in the Quran, if you put your trust in Allah, Allah will provide from a means you never expected and whoever puts his trust in Allah is

00:06:24--> 00:07:05

sufficient that Allah will take care of him. So you hope in a miracle you hope in Allah's help you hope in Allah as aid. And number two, even if that help doesn't come, even if a miracle does not come down. Even if you die in pain and grief and tragedy, you have a hope that the cafard will never have and that is the hope of Allah's reward the hope of Allah's Jana the hope of pleasing Allah subhanho wa Taala your rewards in the era can never ever be compared to the nothingness of the one who doesn't believe in the opera. So the two are never the same. The believer is always a winner. The believer is always a victor, regardless of what happens in this dunya why because you have hope

00:07:05--> 00:07:50

in Allah that the other person can never have you aspire to a dream, a vision you aspire to Allah's pleasure and the one who doesn't believe in Allah can never aspire to that pleasure. So point number three wisdom number three. Iman gives us optimism. Eman gives us courage. Eman pushes us forward emaan allows us to look at something in the future. Even if this dunya is is dark and bleak even if this dunya appears to have turned its back on you. Eman will give you a forward optimism and push you to do what you would not have done otherwise. So this is point number three, point number four wisdom number four from the series of verses. The reality of empathizing with pain and suffering.

00:07:50--> 00:08:32

How do I get this? Allah subhanho wa Taala is consoling the believers. Allah is empathizing with the believers and giving them words of encouragement. Oh believers, if you're in pain, don't worry, it's not the same. There's good news for you. What is this? This is empathy. This is words of encouragement. This is constellation. And this we learned from the Quran and the Sunnah our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he saw somebody in pain, when he saw somebody in tragedy, he would give words of comfort, he would say, May Allah make this difficult time easy for you? He would say May Allah give you sober he would say May Allah increased your reward. So it is the Quranic sunnah

00:08:32--> 00:09:13

and the prophetic sunnah, that when we see people in pain, we give words of comfort words of encouragement. This is the Quranic wisdom, point number four, and the final one for our time, the fifth wisdom. Why did Allah revealed this verse? The beginning of the verse indicates why Allah revealed it. Wala tahini, 50 ha il calm, don't become weak and lazy and pursuing the enemy after the Battle of some of the Muslims felt demoralized. What's the point? They won? What's the point? I'm not going to do anything. And Allah says, Do not become lazy, do not give up all of this talk of looking forward to Allah's adjure. All of this talk of accepting tragedy and calamity has nothing to

00:09:13--> 00:09:55

do with defeatism the Muslim is not a defeatist, the Muslim doesn't just give up. The Muslim doesn't just throw in the towel, Wallah he we believe in padar but Qadr means we will be motivated to do the best. Kadar does not mean we sit back and let tragedy happen. Hunter does not mean we let the bombs fall and do nothing. We let the whole world boycott and do nothing. Well Allah He we believe in Qatar and we believe nothing happens except with Allah. But Kadar motivates us to activism. That's the beginning of the verse don't become tired and pursuing the enemy the coffee law of Abu Soufiane the people of the Quran they're fleeing away all Muslims don't become tired. Yes, I know you're in

00:09:55--> 00:09:59

pain. Yes, I know you're bleeding but the two are not the same you get from Allah with

00:10:00--> 00:10:43

Do not get and so be activist, be powerful, do what you can put your trust in Allah and never ever falter, never give up what to he No one, no one Tamala alone in contempt, meaning do not give up, do not falter, and you shall be victorious. If you have Eman in light of what is happening in Gaza and around the world, this idea takes on a new profound meaning. It is indeed a painful reality, but the two pains are not the same. And just like the Muslims have suffered, the other people have also suffered in their histories, such as the reality of mankind, just like we are in tragedy, once upon a time the others were in tragedy as well. But the two tragedies are not the same. The two massacres

00:10:43--> 00:11:15

are not the same. The two genocides are not the same, because we have what they do not have, we have Allah and they do not have Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, we have the help of Allah, they do not have the help of Allah. We have the era they do not have the era but all of this is a constellation that doesn't mean we just give up and accept no with this emaan we get courage, we got fortified and then we try our best to change the situation. May Allah subhana wa Taala allow us to benefit from this Quran of wisdom and will continue tomorrow was salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
