Yasir Qadhi – The Branches of Faith – 13 – Belief in Qadr

			salatu salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He will be woman who Allah. So we just recited right now the
Battle of Allah subhana wa tada says, while otowa to the left and fill me out, if the both of you
had attempted to agree on a time and place to meet, you would have not been able to agree would have
differed? Well, I can only call the Allahu ameron kanima for Allah, the two of you did not agree to
meet but a laws of law and the laws other that a law had decreed from before that would take place,
whatever Allah had said, that is exactly what happened. And this is our talk for today. And that is
a talk of Kabbalah and other the talk of belief in predestination. It is again, a principle of EMR
		

			that is throughout the Koran. It is mentioned in the famous hadith of gibreel. As we know, when
jabril asked the Prophet system, what is a man the Prophet sallallahu Sallam listed six pillars, and
the last of them was an A man who will cause her to believe in the other. And then he said in one
version, Heidi he was shouted at he was Louis he will Murray to believe in the other the good other
and the bad cutter, and the sweet cutter and the bitter other, which means everything that happens
that what you find good, and that what you find bad, that which you find sweet, and that which you
find distasteful, all of it, you must believe that it is from a loss and belief and color is one of
		

			the fundamental pillars of Islam. Without it, a person has not fully believed in Allah subhana wa
Tada. And that is why it is something that our scholars talk about in a lot of detail, despite the
fact that questions remain. And I know even in this 15 minute talk, 10 minute talk, how much can be
done. Everybody asks about Qatar and Qatar is one of those topics that mankind has always been
questioning every philosophy and every religion since the beginning of time has wondered about
color, is everything predestined? Is everything predetermined? Or do things happen spontaneously?
The ancient Greek philosophers as well talked about this, and the earliest philosophical writings
		

			that we have, they discuss the question of other within Christianity, there's a broad spectrum
within Judaism, there's a spectrum within Islam as well. You have our analysts sunar Sunni belief
who believe in Qatar, and then you have those who don't believe in Qatar, you have an entire
spectrum as well. But we firmly believe in other not only because the Quran is explicit, not only
because the Hadith are mutawatir, there are more than can be counted, but in reality, belief in
others is logical and rational. How so simple question, would God be God if he didn't know
everything? Would God truly be God? If he wasn't Allah Galicia included? If he wasn't alamelu? If he
		

			wasn't COVID and Adam and Hakeem How can a God be a God who doesn't know what's going to happen?
Those who deny Qatar they end up diminishing the power of Allah and the knowledge of Allah and the
overall rubia of Allah subhanho wa Taala and that is why we Muslims firmly believe in other because
it is what the Quran says. It is what the Sooners says, and it is also what our logic and
rationality demands. And our Prophet sallallahu I just sent him said to his cousin in Ibis, he said,
Oh, being a boss, I'm going to teach you some words, memorize them. And the last phrase and the
beautiful idea, the last phrase was, and know that if all of mankind grant gathered to harm you,
		

			they would not be able to harm you, unless a law had already decreed it. And if all of mankind
gathered to benefit you, they could not benefit unless Allah had decreed it roofie it in a column
what you fit is sort of the pen has been raised and the ink has dried. So Allah or the profitsystem
here, excuse me mentioned that the pen has been raised up and the ink on the paper has dried, which
means what has been decreed is going to take place and you cannot change that decree. Now, very
briefly, very briefly, brothers and sisters, the topic of other Please listen to this simple
sentence will never be fully understood by mankind. It is beyond the realm of human intelligence.
		

			Why? Because khadir deals with the essence of a law. It deals with a loss of power, and we will not
understand a loss power. It deals with a loss of knowledge and how can our finite minds comprehend a
loss infinite knowledge
		

			It is arrogant to presume that our small miniscule infinitesimally rational minds will be able to
comprehend the majesty and the knowledge of a law. And that is why even our boss said, coder is the
secret of a law. Whoever tries to delve into the secret and unlock it will end up rejecting Allah
subhanho wa Taala you will never fully understand the concept of others. And every person asks,
you're not the first person to come and say, if everything is pre determined, why should I do
anything? We open up a hadith in Sahih Bukhari, the most authentic book of it. We open a hadith in
Sahih Bukhari, a man comes to the Prophet system, listen to this, Heidi. And he says, Yeah,
		

			rasulillah the things that I do Tell me, are these things that Allah has already decreed, and I'm
just doing them, or are they things I do spontaneously? And the prophets have said? No, these are
things that Allah has decreed, and you're doing them. It's, everything you're doing has been
predetermined. So the man said exactly what you asked, Can I ask this is in the hadith of a body,
then jasola law? Why should I do anything? This is in the Hadith for female ml? Why should I do
anything? Why shouldn't I just sit back and rely on what has been predestined? Notice this question
is not new. You're not the first person to ask this question. This is the philosophical conundrum
		

			that goes back to the pre Socratic philosophers to every theologian and every philosopher. This has
been the crux of the matter if God knows everything, and God controls the future, why should I do
anything? And we find in the Hadith, the Sahaba comes in and says Yasuda Allah for female Amel, why
should I do anything? And the Prophet system did not get involved in deconstructing the
philosophical premise because we want to understand he simply said it's plain and simple. Ir
mailloux you do what you have to do air metal, you do your deeds. What could learn more? Yes, sir,
on Lima Haleakala and you will find that whatever Allah had decreed for you, your deeds will take
		

			you in that direction. He did not attempt to rationalize the philosophy behind other because it's
not possible to understand what he told the man was pragmatic was simple was to the point, you do
what you have to do you do your ml, you don't just sit back and say whatever is other is going to
happen. No, because you don't know your cutter. You don't know what tomorrow holds. So you prepare,
and you plan and you act and you execute that plan, and you do everything you have to do. And then
you put your trust in Qatar, as the man came to the process and said, O Messenger of Allah, when I'm
sleeping in the desert, I have my camel, should I just let it go put my trust in colored in a law?
		

			Or should I tie the camel? What is the famous Howdy, tie your camel, and then put your trust in
Allah. This is the essence of believing in Qatar, you do what you have to do. And then you leave the
rest to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And very briefly, what are some of the benefits of believing and
other number one, when we believe in color, we affirm an all powerful God, anybody who denies color,
anybody who does not believe in the God they are affirming is not an all powerful, all knowledgeable
God. Number two, when you believe in other, there comes an automatic trust in a law, a love of a
love. A European in a law, as the law says will lend you cebuana illa marketable law hellena Nothing
		

			is going to happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us. Number three, when we know that Qatar
is in the hands of a law, our love for a law, our fear of a love our loss to Allah, our ibadah
increases how much more we will worship Allah because he is our true rub and our color is in his
hands. So our ibadah is impacted when we believe in other number four, when we believe in Qatar, we
will not fear anyone as the prophet SAW said I'm said if all of the world gathered to harm you, they
could not harm you, unless Allah other had wielded. So when you believe in Qatar, you do not fear
the creation, you only fear the Creator. Number five, when you believe in Qatar, you will then
		

			accept what happens and you will be patient in the face of a calamity, you will be able to have the
suburb and they are keen and this leads me to point six you will be able to conquer your anxieties
you know the anxiousness you feel things are not happening at random there is a planner who has
planned everything there is Allah azzawajal who is monitoring so you need to put your heart and your
trust in Him. Allah knows best and Allah azza wa jal will take care of the problem that he is
putting you in he would not have tested you unless he knows you can pass the test. The one who put
you in the test will give you have the mechanisms to pass the test. So when you believe in color,
		

			then your anxiety and your and your worry will be diminished and your your clean and sober will grow
up number eight as well. When you believe in color,
		

			Or you will not be an arrogant person. How can you be arrogant when everything and I'm ruku BIA de
la, everything is in the hands of Allah subhana wa Tada. So you will be humble. And humbleness is
the essence of Islam, the meaning of Islam is to submit and surrender. And when we believe in
others, we must be humble and submit. And the final point will mention that again, much more can be
mentioned the final point that will mention that those who truly believe in other you will not be
selfish or greedy, you will not be selfish or greedy. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
and this is a view, beautiful Hadith and Timothy, be content at what Allah has other has written for
		

			you be content at your place and level after you've tried, and you strove, and you did everything,
now you have whatever you have, be content with what Allah has written for you, and you shall be the
richest of all of mankind. So when you are content with other, you're never going to be saying, oh,
that guy has more that guy has this. No, you did your best you got what you have hamdulillah This is
Allah other than you feel the richest because you're happy. The one who is not rich is the one who
always desires more and more and more. He's the one who's impoverished because he thinks himself
poor, the one who's rich is the one who is happy with what Allah has given and how will that happen?
		

			Our Profit System said, Be happy at what a loss cutter has written for you. Be happy at the cutter
that you have and be content with what Allah has blessed you with. And you will be the richest of
all people realize brothers and sisters that Allah subhana wa tada says in the Quran, masaba Mimosa
button in the evening Allah whatever happens of a calamity, it happens because Allah has decreed it
and Allah has wilted woman you mean biLlahi? Yeah, De Palma. Whoever believes in Allah, Allah will
guide his heart to hedaya our scholars say Allah mentions that calamity and Eamon and he Daya and
other all in one verse, why? Because when a calamity happens, you affirm your belief in a law and
		

			you say in the law he was in LA he wrote your own and you say when you see Ben in law marketable
law, who Lana and when you say that woman you mean Billa? Yeah, the Alba his heart will be guided to
peace, his heart will feel at ease, the anxiety the stress, the worry the grief, when you turn to
Allah and believe in Qatar, yeah, the Alba the call will find that peace that will only come through
belief in other and the final point brothers and sisters other and memorize this other is never used
to justify a future action. Other is only used to console yourself of a past calamity memorize it's
a rule of Allison, a rule of Sunni Islam. Other is never used to talk about the future. You don't
		

			say I'm not going to go work because Allah other whatever I'm going to come is written down. No, you
get an education, you apply for a job you show up at work. If you're lazy and you're fired, then
it's your fault that you were fired. You cannot blame anything if you were sitting at home and did
nothing you cannot blame. Similarly when it comes to religion, don't just say oh I will pray when
Allah has wills I will pray I will become religious when Allah has will. I will become religious
know you don't know whether you want to be religious you do it right here and now. Immediately you
make the NEA you pray you give Zakat and as the prophets have said, if it is written for you, you
		

			will find that the doors open up you don't just sit back and do nothing. You do not justify a future
because of other rather you calm yourself of the past because of other you applied for a job you
didn't get it a loved one Marcia five, you wanted something really bad a position in a company
arrays and you tried your best and you made do out it didn't happen? Okay, this is Alaska, and I'm
happy I did my best. Allah has a better plan for me. You justify the past, not the future. Somebody
is sick. You don't say Allah cutter if he lives or dies, you take him to the doctor, you do whatever
you can lock up the law, he passes away, she passes away, okay, it was a loss. Other we couldn't
		

			change the time of death. So you do not plan the future based on other because you and I don't know
whether you do everything according to the best plan you have. Then when you do everything and it
doesn't happen then you bring in other to talk about the past and you say it was a lot harder. We
couldn't just dictate that what's going to happen it was already been decreed for us and this is the
proper methodology of Islam. May Allah subhana wa tada make use of those who firmly believe in other
and whose Eman is raised because of other and who are content with Allah. Other I will continue
tomorrow in sha Allah hotel.
