00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			And that's why every time a civil
conflict occurs in a Muslim land,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			our hearts go out even more so and
it is very troubling for us
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			because we expect better and we
should expect better from those
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			who believe in Allah subhanho wa
taala.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			In Alhamdulillah, Meadowhall
monastery you know cesternino
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:24
			Horner still fiddle whenever with
a biller, Himanshu Rudy and fusina
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:30
			woman say Dr. Medina, Mejia de la

00:00:30 --> 00:00:36
			Fela ha de la wa shadow Allah Illa
Illa Allah hula hula Cherie Keller
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			what I shall do under more hammer
than either do home or solo? Yeah,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			you hola Dina. I'm an otaku Allah
helper to call to wala temotu illa
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:50
			one to Muslim moon, Amma about
your Muslims. If you look at the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			Sierra of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. Without a doubt
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			one of the most difficult in fact,
the most difficult era, the most
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:04
			difficult year of those entire 23
years is the year that is known as
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			I'm in Houston, the year of
sadness, the year of grief, as
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			even as How could I do as a
business? How can I'm allowed to
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			other says the profit system did
not smile in that whole year. It
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19
			was a very difficult year. Why was
it difficult? After 12 years of
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:24
			preaching, there was no hope there
was no light at the end of the
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			tunnel. There was no sense that
the Quran would possibly accept
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			Islam along with this and that
here the prophets of Allah Who are
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			they he was setting them had lost
his most precious supporter, and
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			that is Hadiya Radi Allahu anha.
Her deja passed away in the year
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			of sorrow. And right after the
death of Khadija Abu Talib passed
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			away as well. And so his wife, his
uncle, his internal support, His
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:53
			external support had both gone. He
felt a sense of grief and personal
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			loneliness, along with the
persecution that his own people
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			were giving him. And within that
year, there's one particular
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			incident that demonstrates or that
shows that even in this year
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			Subhanallah, there was a timeframe
that was even more lower than the
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			rest of them. Our mother Aisha
asked the Prophet system, our
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			mother I should have the Allahu
anha asked the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			alayhi wa sallam, was there a day
in your life that was more
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			traumatic for you than the day of
or was there a day that was more
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:28
			painful than the day of our
mother? Aisha Radi Allahu anha did
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			not have memories of Monica. She
doesn't know what happened in
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34
			Makkah, she witnessed or heard,
and in her memory or heard is the
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			worst day the most traumatic date.
But our prophets has informed her
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			yes, there was a day that was more
difficult for me than the
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			neighborhood. And that is the day
of thought if the day of thought
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:51
			if represents in the entire
Sierra, if we could mark out to
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			the lowest point, the point that
really it felt the most if you
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			like hopeless or the most
difficult, without a doubt that
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			day of thought if would be that
lowest point because his own
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			people who expelled him he was not
allowed to be in Makkah. That's
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			why he wasn't thought if a bowtie
that has died her deja has died.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			His people have rejected him. He
has no internal support. His own
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			followers have been massacred and
tortured. He doesn't know where
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			he's going to go. And he goes to
thaw if and what happens happens.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			You all know the story. The very
people have rejected Him, and on
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			the way out, dejected, on the way
out bleeding from his wounds on
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:33
			the way out having been humiliated
by an entire city. He now utters a
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:38
			DUA, and this dua is going to be
the talk of our hotbar today,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			because this dua represents the
actual turning point in the entire
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:48
			Syrah this dua, dua of thought, if
the DUA the likes of which there
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			is no other two I mentioned, it's
a beautiful to the DUA that comes
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			from the depths of sadness, the
depths of understanding that there
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			is no hope other than Allah
subhanho wa taala. This dua
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:06
			changed everything. And slowly but
surely after this dua, the Sierra
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			goes from better to better to
finally entering the muck and
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			conquering it again, what is this
dua of thought, if this dua for if
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			that was uttered when the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			all alone? He was rejected from
the people of thought if he was in
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			between the two cities, and he
raised his hands to Allah and he
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:32
			said Allahumma inni sashco indica
La Quwata one Yeah, and then us
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			Allahumma Allah Houma when the
going gets tough, the tough turn
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			to Allah subhanho wa Taala when
there is no hope the believer
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			returns to the source of all hope.
When there is no light at the end
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			of the tunnel. The believer turns
to Allah knowing that ALLAH
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:56
			SubhanA wa Tada is in control, do
our vicar Sure. resurrecting your
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			Eman and connecting with ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada. This is
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			One of the most powerful in fact,
it is the most powerful mechanism
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:09
			to overcome anxiety, stress,
grief, when the world seems
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			hopeless, turn to Allah and you
will gain hope. When there is no
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:18
			other source of comfort. Allah
Houma will give you that comfort
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:23
			turn to Allah and Allah subhana wa
Tada will give you the courage,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			the patience, the fortitude, Allah
will give you the solder they are
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			clean, Allah will give you
everything that you need so all
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			alone and he says Allah Houma Oh
Allah and Allah subhana wa to
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			Allah says in the Quran so many
times, that when the calamity
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			comes turn to Him. Allah says in
the Quran, we know ya rasool Allah
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			life is difficult for you. What
are they not to do for South
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			Africa in Maya Kowloon we know
your rasool Allah your heart is in
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			pain. What should you do for Sabir
behind the Rebecca welcome Mina
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			surgery then increase your liquor
increase your worship of Allah
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			subhana wits, at times of calamity
at times of difficulty when life
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			becomes difficult discover the
pleasure of worshiping Allah
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			subhanho wa Taala that pleasure
will make your life easier for you
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			no matter what the stresses,
whether it is financial, whether
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			it is domestic whether it is
international, whether it is
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:21
			political, Allah Huma turning to
Allah subhana wa Tada establishing
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			a connection with Allah, this is
what will get you out of that
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28
			stress. This is what will find
comfort in an otherwise
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			comfortless world it will give you
strength in an otherwise world
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			that you think there is no hope
but Allah will give you that hope.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			And so he turns to Allah Allah
Houma, la Kirsch Gu, O Allah to
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:44
			you, I complain Darfur, Guwahati,
Wahiawa Ania, the nurse, Oh Allah,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:48
			I complained to you of my own
weakness and the fact that people
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			are not giving me the respect
people have abandoned me to you. I
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:57
			complain of the ignominy of the
people to you. I complain I don't
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:01
			have help internally. There is no
army that I have my own tribe has
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			rejected me Lofa Kuwaiti Europe, I
don't have any. And so I'm
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			complaining to you. Now this
notion of complaining to Allah,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:13
			this notion of opening your your
DUA with a complaint is a very
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:18
			Quranic phenomenon. It's a part of
our religion. complaining to Allah
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			is one of the most powerful
mechanisms to get your DUA
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			accepted. Have you not read the
Quran when Zekeriya is 100 years
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			old and all hope is lost for a
child? Zachary raises his hands
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:34
			and says, Oh Allah, you see how we
can feeble I am? Oh Allah, my hair
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			has grown white. Oh Allah, my
bones are about to collapse. So
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			he's complaining to Allah Who
don't you see the story of a
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:45
			yovani his Sadam when you Barney
his Salam is, is given all of
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			these difficulties and trials he's
undergoing test after test he's
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			lost his children. He himself is
suffering from leprosy. Uganda his
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			Salam says the Arab Oh my Rob in
Nima Sunil door, you see the pain
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			that I'm in I am in pain, the Arab
Don't you see Yaakov Alayhis
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03
			Salam, when his own children have
conspired against him. What does
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07
			he say? He says, I'm not
complaining to you in school, but
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:11
			he was the Illallah I am sure
Shaniqua I am giving my complaint
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			to Allah subhana wa Tala. Now we
have to understand complaining to
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:20
			Allah complaining to Allah is not
rejecting hola as other it is
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			eliciting Allah's Rama. This is
what we need to understand.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			Because when we complain, think
about it. When we complain,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			anything happens. Who do you go to
to complain? You go to the one
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			whose pity you want, who has
sympathy you want right? And you
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			know there's nothing wrong with
complaining to another human
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			being. Even though the the
perfection of Eman requires we
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			minimize complaining to other
people the perfection of Eman we
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:49
			maximize complaining to Allah
because the pity of mankind the
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			pity of your friends, the pity of
your relatives will not actually
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:57
			change your situation. But the
Wrath of Allah will change your
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			situation. So even though it's not
wrong to complain to other people,
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			because that's what we do and it's
a part of human nature. Still
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			perfection of Eman means we
minimize complaining to other
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:13
			people and we maximize complaining
to Allah when we complain to Allah
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			once again, this is not the
complaint. Oh Allah why is this
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			happening? Nope. This is the
complaint. Oh Allah, you see how
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			difficult life is? Oh Allah you
see how traumatic I am right now.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			Oh Allah, I need your help. So
complaining to Allah is of the
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:30
			essence of Eman because you
complain to the one whom you know
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:34
			can affect a change. You complain
to the one whose mercy you want
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:39
			whose pity you want as Musa
alayhis salam says Rob be in need
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:43
			Emma insulted me Hayden fuckin
Europe. I'm a fakir. I need you
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			Europe. If you don't give me what
I need. I have no other source to
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			go to. And so complaining to Allah
is one of the ways we begin our
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:54
			dua. So the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam says, Yara, I
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			complained to you that I don't
have the strength that I need to
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			have. I don't have the strength
and I don't have the
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			is of the people Yara Who are you
going to lead me to the Hadith da
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:08
			da da da goes on. Yeah Rob, you're
our hammer Rahim in and our hammer
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:13
			Raha Nene he invokes the name of
Allah or hamara Haman and he says
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:18
			it twice yeah our hammer Rahim in
and our hammer rock I mean he
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22
			repeats this over and over again
why because of the mechanisms of
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			dua when you raise your hands to
Allah you call upon Allah with his
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:30
			most beautiful names you invoke
the name of Allah so that you want
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			Allah's Rama to come down. And
I've said this multiple times the
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			Quran teaches us this, whatever do
we have? We choose the appropriate
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			name for ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. If
we want Allah to cure we say yeah,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			Shafi if we want Allah for
sustenance, your result? Yeah
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:49
			Kareem if we want Allah Rama Yara
Yara Haim so right now we are
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:53
			wanting Allah Rama. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			Yeah, or hemraj he mean, under our
hammer rock. I mean, he invokes
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			him and then he affirms the same
name. I know you are the Most
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			Merciful of all who have mercy.
And you know, this particular
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			phrase, it's something we need to
remind ourselves of, when we see
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			the pain and suffering in this
world. The prophesy ism is
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			physically bleeding. He doesn't
have any support, or I should have
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			kicked him out. He's lost his
wife, his uncle, who is his main
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:21
			political ally is no longer there.
He still says I know you're Allah,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			you are our hammer rahimian. This
is an affirmation regardless of
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28
			what is happening, I affirm
Europe. I might understand how but
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:33
			I affirm you are our hammer Rahim
in regardless of how tough the
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:38
			situation becomes. Allah's Rama is
infinitely more than ours, and no
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:42
			shaytaan can ever come and change
that Ocarina of ours, let not any
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:47
			tragedy affect that after the
Allah is our hammer rahimian, even
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			if all of this suffering has
happened, even if so many people
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			have died. It doesn't change the
fact Allah is our humble, raw
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:57
			human. And just like we as parents
understand that sometimes we have
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			to do something even to our own
loved ones, our own children, that
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			might be a little bit of pain to
save them from a greater pain. We
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			understand this as parents that
sometimes we have to toughen up
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			the kids, we have to give them
shots, whatever we have to do, we
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:13
			have to cause them a little bit of
pain to save them from a greater
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			pain. So if we can understand in
our own lives, then to Allah
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:20
			belongs even the more perfect
example. Allah is our hammer rock.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			I mean, regardless of what is
happening in this world, and Allah
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			is Rama is infinitely more as a
prophet Allah said um, said, Allah
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			is more merciful and loving to His
servants than a mother is to her
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			own child, and that does not
change regardless of the political
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:40
			circumstances. So the Prophet
system affirms Yara my Eman in you
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			has not been shaken. I know you
are our hammer rock. I mean, even
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			if I'm bleeding even if the
Quraysh anti if have rejected me,
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			even if I don't have any helpers
you are or hammer rock. I mean,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			and our hammer rock I mean, then
he goes on ya Rob Oh my Lord, who
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			are you going to leave me to
either? ManTech you loony? In
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			other words, I need you. Who else
is there other than you either?
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			montecchi Rooney Who else am I
going to put my Tawakkol in? I put
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			my TBWA couldn't you I don't have
to work couldn't anybody else ya
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			Rob I'm affirming that there is no
one else that I'm going to put my
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			trust in other than you and so he
says to Allah subhana wa Tada Illa
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			montecchi Rooney either I do when
your teacher Hemani Are you going
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:23
			to leave me to an enemy that is
going to be harsh to me? Oh either
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			Cuddy been Malacca who angry or to
a close relative who will control
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:31
			every affair of mine meaning
between courage and power if there
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:35
			is no hope my own people are
trying to control me and my enemy
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			is trying to kick me out. Yeah,
Rob, there is no one I want to put
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:43
			my toe according other than you.
So the Profit System is affirming
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:47
			that he has full to work good in
Allah. And he's negating I don't
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:51
			have to work good in anyone else.
Neither Cody nor buried neither
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:55
			relative nor stranger. mitoku is
in Yuya Allah and so in this
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:00
			there's a beautiful mechanism of
affirming Tauheed and affirming
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			full Tawakkol in Allah subhana wa
Tada. And then our Prophet
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:08
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says
ELLIPTA cannot ban Alia Fela or
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:13
			Bali Europe. If you're not angry
with me, then I cannot complain. I
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:18
			do not care layer enough here
tech. Oh, Sara Lee, but still to
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:22
			have your blessings and to not be
in this pain. It is easier for me.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:26
			This phrase is the beautiful
balance between accepting Allah
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			SCADA and asking for a change in
Allah's other because there is
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			this beautiful delicate balance.
We should not we should accept
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			Allah's color whatever Allah has
decided at the same time, there
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:39
			are certain things that are
difficult for us. So this phrase
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:44
			is the perfect balance, Yara as
long as you are happy with me,
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:49
			then I am happy as well. But
still, Yara, your blessings, your
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			protection from this pain. It is
easier for me. It is easier for me
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57
			to live without this suffering.
But as long as you're happy and
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			you are content, then I have no
reason to act.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			The complaint meaning here our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:07
			sallam is affirming what is the
ultimate goal? The ultimate goal
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:11
			is not the courageous acceptance
is not the thought of acceptance.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:15
			The ultimate goal is Allah's
acceptance. And as long as I have
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:19
			that, even if I have nothing else,
well done Alhamdulillah, I'm
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			happy. But if I have your
acceptance, and I also get some
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			good of this world, then that is
also better. For me. This is what
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:30
			our profit system is saying. And
this shows us real victory. And
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35
			real success is not defined by the
political failures and successes
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			of ourselves. If we fail
politically, it doesn't mean we
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:42
			have failed in the eyes of Allah.
If we fail in a strategy in a
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			tactic, we can still attain the
pleasure of Allah subhanho wa
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:50
			taala. Our success is not linked
to the success of political
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			endeavors. And this is what this
study shows us. Yeah, Rob, as long
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:57
			as you're happy with me, then
hamdulillah I'm happy but still,
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:01
			if you make life easier, that will
also be easier for me. And this
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			shows us that perfect balance
between the slim between accepting
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:08
			Allah as other and also between
wanting to work for change. Then
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:13
			he says, Ruby with chick I seek
refuge in Your blessing and noble
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:18
			face Allah the Prophet Muhammad wa
salam ala Amana dunya well after
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:22
			your face yeah Rob that your your
beauty your countenance is
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:26
			something that every darkness is
eliminated you you're robbed
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			eliminate every darkness and here
of course, it's literally true and
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:34
			it's also metaphorically true.
Every pain every grief, every
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:38
			anguish every anxiety is
eliminated by eliminated by Allah
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			yah Rob I seek refuge in Your
beautiful face, the face meaning
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			of course here Allah azza wa jal
himself, of course is referenced
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:50
			here by one of his attributes that
Oh Allah, you are the one who
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:54
			enlightened all darkness, anything
that is dark, you take it away
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:58
			your beautiful face takes that
darkness away. So I turned to you
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			and I turned to your what she
called Kadeem, I turn to your
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:06
			noble face ya rub your face makes
all the darknesses disappear and
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:10
			it gives courage it gives hope it
gives stamina, it gives a light to
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:14
			our dark hearts. And so yeah, Rob,
I turn to you and I seek refuge in
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			You from your beautiful face, the
one that face that eliminates all
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22
			darkness and that face that
countin is sort of either Hamra
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:27
			dunya Well, every matter in this
dunya and the akhira is corrected
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:32
			it is made good by you. Oh Allah,
you can correct everything. You
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:36
			are the one who changes everything
for the better. So I turned to you
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:40
			yeah, Rob, and I asked refuge in
you for one thing, and yen Zilla
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			be horrible. Oh, you're hated
Debbie Sato, that your anger is
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			incurred upon me or your wrath
comes upon me. You're up the one
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			thing that I cannot stand, I can
stand the punishment of thought if
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:54
			I can stand every tragedy of this
dunya it's painful, but I can
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:58
			stand it. But the one thing that I
cannot stand if you're haga comes
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:03
			upon me. If your hug comes upon
me, your wrath is coming upon me
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			that I cannot stand and I seek
refuge in You, oh Allah to protect
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			me against your own anger. And
this again shows us ultimate
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:16
			success and ultimate, an ultimate
failure is not of this dunya it is
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa
taala. If you can incur Allah's
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			pleasure, then you have been
successful and if we seek Allah's
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			refuge, you gain the dunya but you
lose Allah, then you have lost
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29
			everything. And what this shows us
once again, it gives us hope, how
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:34
			does it give us hope? It gives us
hope that ultimate success is not
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:38
			defined by the endeavors of this
dunya no matter how difficult life
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			becomes, no matter how much civil
war is taking place, how many
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:46
			lives have been lost, the ultimate
success at the individual level
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			will be between your relationship
between you and Allah that defines
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:54
			your success. So he says Dr. Rob,
I seek refuge in You from ever
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:59
			having to face your anger and your
wrath. Luckily, I had total law
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:04
			you have the right to rob to do as
you please until you are pleased
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			with me the phrase like on Earth
by Hector dada. It translates
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:11
			basically as your rob you can do
whatever you want until you are
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			pleased. I want your pleasure
y'all Rob That's my goal. My goal
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			is your radar. And until I get it
you have the right to do as you
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:22
			please but my goal is to please
you y'all Rob when a whole wala
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:26
			Quwata illa. Big and there is no
change and there is no power to
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:31
			change except with Allah subhanho
wa Taala In other words, no change
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			will happen because of me. I don't
have the power to make
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:37
			circumstances better. I don't have
the capacity to bring any good,
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:41
			but I turned to you what a Howler
Well, La Quwata illa big this dua
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:46
			and this incident actually teaches
us so much. It teaches us that the
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:50
			more we show our fucker our
impoverished to Allah the more
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			power we will get from Allah
subhanho wa Taala the more we
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:58
			acknowledge we can do nothing. The
more we submit to Allah, the more
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			Allah azza wa jal will change our
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			We're situation it shows us that
real Nasir and real victory will
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			only come when we first and
foremost cleanse our internal
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			spirituality and connected
directly with ALLAH SubhanA wa
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:18
			Tada. We detach ourselves from any
source and any hope and any reason
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:22
			in this world and all of it is
from Allah subhanho wa taala. And
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			literally as I explained this dua
was the turning point, because
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			right after this dua, the prophet
system entered Mecca, and then the
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			Treaty of Aqaba, the first treaty,
and then the second treaty, and
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			then they hit Euro happen, and we
are commemorating the Hegira in
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			this month, and the Hijra
happened, then the Battle of
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			brother and then after a while,
the conquest of the trench, and
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
			then after that, the Treaty of
Arabia, then the conquest of
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			Makkah, everything began to
change, not as it's not as if it
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:51
			all became good. But after this
dua, that level was never reached
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:55
			in this era. This dua without a
doubt represents one of the lowest
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			if not the lowest point, and
because of this dua, the change
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:02
			occurred and this shows us that
only by turning to Allah
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:07
			complaining to Allah, expressing
our impoverished to Allah
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			expressing we have no power except
with Allah and through Allah
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			turning to Allah subhanho wa
taala. This is the beginning of
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			all change, but it is not
sufficient, as I have always
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20
			pointed out, because when is he
making this up? He's making it
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			while undertaking a very risky
journey while doing a physical
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			tactic. He's not doing this in the
Kaaba. He's not just worshiping in
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31
			the masjid. He's not just making a
spiritual dua in the middle of the
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			cabin. No, where is he in the
middle of nowhere and the road
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			between Makkah and thought, if
without any armed guards, it's a
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			very dangerous path. But that's
what you do. Along with
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			spirituality. You combine it with
tactics with strategy, and this
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48
			strategy might fail, the strategy
might not work. The strategy might
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:52
			make things difficult, but you
continue to strategize. You don't
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			just sit there and do nothing and
moan and groan and complain, no,
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			you put in the effort and you go
and knock on doors and you go and
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:02
			you visit live and you take
massive risks, and then you put
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:06
			your trust in Allah and you make
dua to Allah realizing your
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			efforts are not going to bring
about change except through Allah
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:14
			and with Allah. So this type of
thought is a DUA, we should
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			memorize, and we should use it
according to our own wordings,
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:20
			obviously, change the wordings for
what we need to do, we should use
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:24
			it in our own lives and we should
gain comfort that Subhanallah even
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:28
			in the most darkest of times, when
life becomes very difficult, it is
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			those times that Subhanallah the
light begins to come and change
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:36
			happens and that is by turning to
Allah subhana wa Taala We ask
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			Allah subhana wa Tada to bless us
with and through the Quran and to
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			make us of those who is versus
they understand.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			Through our lives I spent ask
Allah's forgiveness you as well
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			ask him for his love of food and
the ramen.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:00
			Alhamdulillah Allah had a I had a
summit Ulladulla meal at William
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:04
			Hewlett well on your local phone,
we're about to do their Muslims
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:09
			when the non Muslims attack us
when enemies of Islam attack us
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:13
			there's no doubt that it is
painful, but at the same time we
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			understand there is an element of
animosity and we see what is
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:20
			happening in Gaza and our hearts
are enraged but at the same time,
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			there is a small amount of I'm not
gonna say comfort but a small
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:26
			amount of understanding that the
people that are doing this they
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:30
			have no iman and Allah What do you
expect them to do? But what is the
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:35
			case when our own Muslim brethren
and our own people that should be
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			in charge of us and say the Kadima
and they're supposed to be our
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:43
			protectors? What is the case when
our own fellow same ethnicity,
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:48
			same believers same saying the
Kadima when they turn against us
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:53
			and they start massacring then
Subhanallah the pain is even more
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
			so. And it should be more so
because we expect more from our
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:01
			own brethren. And that's why every
time a civil conflict occurs in a
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:05
			Muslim land, our hearts go out
even more so and it is very
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:09
			troubling for us because we expect
better and we should expect better
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			from those who believe in Allah
subhanho wa taala. And there are
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:17
			so many tragedies going on. Some
of them are caused by our own and
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			just because they are from our own
and our own ranks. It doesn't mean
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:24
			we are silent about those types of
evil that is taking place right
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			now currently, what is happening
in the country of Bangladesh.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:31
			Without a doubt it is a tragedy
and innocent people are being shot
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			and killed. I'm not taking sides
of the political I don't know the
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			political. I know one simple
thing. Innocent people who are
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:41
			unarmed are being shot by people
who are armed. This is something
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:45
			that every Muslim, there are no
two opinions about this. Even if
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:49
			you disagree politically. There
are ways that you can counter this
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			without killing people. And these
are people that are on the streets
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			and they are doing whatever
they're doing. Even if you
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:58
			disagree with the policy, it
doesn't justify the types of
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			murder and the types of killing
that is going
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			going on. And there is no doubt
that we as Muslims, we have to
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			speak out against this and say
this is not something that should
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			be done. And it's not just the
country but
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			world Sudan as well. Well, Allah
He it is something that is hurting
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:17
			our hearts when we see the civil
war in Sudan, and Muslims killing
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:21
			other Muslims and Muslims doing
horrible, horrible things. Oh, the
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			biller, I can't even say them in
the hotbar. But these are Muslims
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			fighting other Muslims for the
sake of power for the sake of
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			money. Without a doubt, this is
something that hurts us even more,
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			because when the gaffer does it,
at least we excuse them that what
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			do you expect from this person?
But when a Muslim does something
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:42
			like this, without a doubt, it is
something that causes double grief
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			and double pain. And just because
it's a Muslim with doesn't mean we
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			just give them a pass? No, on the
contrary, it becomes even more
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:52
			imperative that we speak out and
we try our best to knock some
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
			sense and to say, this is not the
way that should be done. So the
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			least that we can do we preach out
against this, we condemn this type
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:02
			of internal Muslim sectarianism or
bigotry. And if I mentioned to
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			countries that doesn't mean I'm
ignoring the others. The problem
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			comes, if you mentioned any
country after the hope of somebody
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:11
			comes as you forgot this, you
forgot that No, unfortunately, our
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:15
			OMA is suffering and so many
places 100 Buck cannot do justice.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:20
			So I'm speaking generically, every
single volume is done. Every
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			single injustice is injustice,
doesn't matter who does it. And
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:27
			when a Muslim does it, and
especially a Muslim government,
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			who we expect better from,
especially when a person of power
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			or responsibility.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:38
			The least we can do is to speak
out against that, and our hearts
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			and our daughters and our prayers
are for those mothers who mean the
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			innocent people that are being
persecuted. And we ask Allah
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			subhana wa Tada to bless those
that have died or Shaheed and also
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:52
			to make some knock some sense into
the people in charge, and allow
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			them to see that this is not the
best way forward, it is something
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:59
			that will, History teaches us the
volume and injustice will always
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:03
			become a darkness in this world
before the era. The sad reality is
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:07
			nobody learns from history, the
sad reality, this is not the first
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10
			time that innocents have been
killed in a shot. And it won't be
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:14
			the last time but we see over and
over again, that killing innocent
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:18
			people and acting in a brutal
manner will never bring about
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:22
			actual justice. But in all of this
darkness, one positive thing as
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			well, we thank Allah subhanaw
taala for and that is that the
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:30
			highest court today in the in the
UN has ruled unequivocally that
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:34
			Israel is actually committing
crimes and it is an occupier
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:38
			state. And even though the court
does not have actual capacity to
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:42
			enforce the ruling, still, this is
a definitive ruling by a neutral
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:46
			court under the UN. So now there
should be no two opinions about
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			this, even though we do this from
day one. But finally Alhamdulillah
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:54
			after 70 years of conflict, and
this shows us a little bit of
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			hope. Yes, it's not the end of all
women we know it's not going to
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			change the situation immediately.
But this is the beginning of
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:04
			change and it indicates the tide
is changing. Finally, the global
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:09
			sentiment is beginning to change.
And finally, the emaan the taqwa
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			the courage, the bravery of the
people of Gaza is now being
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:16
			demonstrated. Subhanallah
eventually all in justices will
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			come to an end as our Prophet says
and I'm said that sometimes the
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:23
			volume the unjust person, Allah
gives him some leeway, but Allah
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:27
			never forgets. And when Allah
takes the volume to account, ALLAH
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:31
			SubhanA wa Tada will hold them to
a strict accountability and so we
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			are thankful that at least this
ruling is the beginning of change
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			in that region. And this is the
reality of life brothers and
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:41
			sisters. One day a tragedy happens
here and a positive happens there
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			the next day the tables are turned
on such as life here our ultimate
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:48
			goal going back to the hadith of
thought if our ultimate goal is
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			the pleasure of Allah, our
ultimate happiness, luck and
