an otaku. Allah helper to otter, Walter moto. Illa untrim was New Moon, all Muslims, Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah has reminded us in the Quran to be conscious of him when he says oh you who believe
fear Allah as he deserves to be feared and do not die except in a state of submission to Him. Dear
Muslim, This month marks two years
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:55
			as of when this COVID pandemic began, two years have gone by. It was this very month and this very
week where news began to spread and within a few days, our Masjid had to shut down. And in these
last two years, every single one of us without exception has been affected. We have suffered various
types of trauma. Some of us have lost loved ones, all of us have lost friends, financially, there
has been suffering as well. And it is during times like this, where our iman is tested, and where we
have to renew our commitment to the ideals of our faith. And one of the most beautiful stories of
the Quran that reiterates the wisdoms of why there's so much difficulty in this world is the story
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:40
			that we should read every single Friday, that is mentioned in Surah 10 calf, and in today's brief
hotspot, I'm going to remind myself and you have a story that we have probably heard many times, but
especially in light of difficulty, in light of tragedy, in light of loss, this story takes on new
meaning. And every single time I come back to the story and read it, I find something beneficial, or
I'm reminded of something that I had lost track of simply because as Allah says, where that kid for
in the Quran tenfold more meaning keep on reminding, because reminding benefits the believers, and
this is the story of critter and Musa alayhis salam, and the three incidents that took place, each
		
00:06:40 --> 00:07:24
			one of which involves pain, and suffering and trauma and loss. And through navigating these stories,
we find comfort, and we find relevancy in our own in our own pains and tragedies. Allah tells us in
the Quran, and in fact, the prophet system give a very detailed Hadith that explains it, and in
today's hold, but I'll mix the two together, that once Musa alayhis salam stood up and he gave a
whole lecture. And it moved the people so much that one of the people of bunnies Rock Hill said or
Musa, you are the most knowledgeable person on earth, right? There's nobody more knowledgeable than
you. He was so impressed with the hotbar of Musa, the lecture of Musa that he said, You are the most
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:54
			knowledgeable rights and Musa alayhis salam, not knowing who could be more knowledgeable than him, I
made an assumption. And he said, Yes, I am the most knowledgeable person on earth. And it was an
assumption because he's a prophet. And he has, in his own mind that justification to make that
assumption. Immediately God came down and said to Musa, how could you say something without
knowledge? Indeed, there is somebody else on Earth, that Allah has given knowledge that you do not
have.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:34
			And you should not have said you are the most knowledgeable. Musa alayhis salam immediately asked
forgiveness and then asked Allah permission to go travel to study with this person of knowledge.
This is what you call humility. Nobody on Earth is all knowledgeable of everything. Allah is an
unnamed, Allah says Woolfolk aku Li, the element Aleem every one of us who has knowledge there's
somebody who has more knowledge than you, you might be an expert in one field, but you cannot be an
expert in all fields and even the prophets each one has knowledge the other does not have. So Musa
alayhis salam asked permission that may go travel. And our scholars say this was the first time
		
00:08:34 --> 00:09:15
			somebody traveled for the sake of knowledge, knowledge is attained via traveling and studying
knowledge is attained one on one, not just from the books, books are secondary, with knowledge also
comes Musa hubba being with the teacher seeing the spiritual reality of the teacher, and so Musa
alayhis salam requests permission lets me go and study with this person. Yeah, Allah. So Allah says,
Okay, I give you permission. Musa says how will I find him? Allah says, go until where the rivers
meet some say where the two streams of the Red Sea others have other interpretations where the two
streams or the two seas meet and take with you a fish where that fish disappears, you will find that
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:58
			person so Musa and his Fatah, his his his, not his son, but his servant, you should have known. They
started traveling and they went far and wide and they had that sign of the fish with them. Then one
time they went to sleep and the fish miraculously disappeared. You shot FORGOT TO TELL Musa they
continued onwards. Then Musa said give me my dinner. I'm very tired. I have we haven't found this
guy. You shot then said Remember when we stopped at that place? I forgot to tell you that the fish
miraculously disappeared. That was the place foetida I thought email Kasasa they returned back all
the way here. Our scholars say of the wisdoms is that Allah is testing Musa and his patience
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			knowledge is never gained
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			except via patience, except via multiple paths and you have to cross those paths. So Allah is
testing Musa and Musa did not get frustrated with fuchsia said it's an honest mistake, they went
back all the way to that place. And there they found a person that all around him was green. And
this is why he is called hidden or how other our profit system retold us this the reason why he's
called hunted it's a name not to it's a it's an adjective, not a proper name, his actual name we do
not know. But he is called on hunted because wherever he would go, the Earth would become green with
vegetation. And so his luck club or his title was coded or hidden, and they found this man sitting
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:20
			there. And Musa says to him a Salam o aleikum. Hadith says how do you know Salam in this land where
there are no other Muslims? Musa says I am Musa of the people of Bani Israel in how there says oh
you are that Musa what are they called was salam notice how they knew of Musa he didn't recognize
Musa and Musa did not know how that until Allah told them how there was automatically we see how
there has some knowledge Musa does not have because how they're understood Oh, you are Musa of the
Bani Israel. And he knew who he was, but he did not recognize him. This also shows us that Khalid
was not an angel, or else he would have recognized Musa this also shows us and we're going to learn
		
00:11:20 --> 00:12:02
			as well that how there was a prophet of Allah. This is the correct opinion. Some say he was a
righteous saint, but in reality he was a prophet, because her mother says to Musa that I have
knowledge that Allah has given me that he has not given you and you have knowledge that Allah has
given you he has not given me 100 is saying I have knowledge that Allah has given me automatically
this makes him a prophet when Allah gives you knowledge directly to you now hora, nd now what I love
now, who mille Duna Ilma This is a real Mala Dooney real from Allah subhanho wa taala. So, how there
is saying, I have knowledge you do not have and you have knowledge I do not have this indicates that
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:41
			other is indeed a prophet Musa says let me travel with you. Now, again, the whole story is beyond
the whole, the details we can go over verse by verse, but the three main stories that we need to
emphasize number one, the first story of course, how that puts the condition if you want to come
with me, I have one condition you cannot speak to me you cannot ask me for explanation until I tell
you you have to trust me and how the denies or negates that you won't be able to be patient yeah
Musa you wouldn't understand what I'm going to do. And this shows us by the way, one of the benefits
of knowledge is tolerance Wallahi we see this fanaticism only comes when you don't have knowledge
		
00:12:41 --> 00:13:15
			hardcore opinions come in patients come on, you don't have knowledge so leader who had some
knowledge that Musa did not have the Rohit their sister Musa in NACA lentes, Tatianna your sobre,
because when you don't have him, or you think you have him or for your enemies, only just one
perspective or one opinion, the minute you hear another opinion, you lose your patience, this is not
true, it cannot be correct. But when you have rhythm, you become more open minded, you understand
you become more tolerant. So Heather says to Musa you're not going to be able to understand you're
going to be impatient, you don't have the types of knowledge I do. And Musa says, no, no, I want to
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:50
			learn, I'm going to learn. And so three incidents happen. Each one of them Musa loses his patience.
The first one, as you're aware, they don't have any money. These are the prophets of Allah, and they
don't have money in their pockets, but they need to go on a ship. So when they're going on the ship,
they asked who can take them, and the one ship that is willing to take them is the poorest ship,
they are the most generous, which is another irony, generally speaking, the poor are more generous
than the rich in terms of their art. Generally speaking, the more people have, the more stingy you
become. And Allah says in the Quran, if you had the treasures of all the heavens and earth, you
		
00:13:50 --> 00:14:26
			would become extremely miserly. This is what Allah is saying in the Quran. So the poor Messiah keen
gave them a free ride. None of the rich ships gave them a free ride the poor Misaki and said YOLO no
problem come with us. We'll take you across the ocean. And so Musa and Hunter went on their ship,
when the fishermen are on top 100 comes, takes an axe or takes a metal rod and he cracks a hole in
the fishermen don't know what's happening. The boat is about to sink, they go back to the shore
before they can discover harder than most they get off the boat and Musa loses his patience. These
were poor people, they were generous, why would you destroy their ship? Why would you do that?
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:59
			Heather says I told you, you can't be patient. Musa says you're right, I forgot. I'm not going to do
it again. Hardly has this conversation finished when they come across a wholesome a child playing on
the beach, on the on the on the sand on the shore and right then and there for Catella who he
executes. And this clearly shows this is not a worldly or a saint, this as a prophet of Allah. No
one has the right to do this. Unless Allah commands them. No one has the right to do something like
this unless it is a Nebby who has an explicit command from a
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:37
			Law and that's something you cannot make an ology or chaos on. So he does this deed Musa has not
forgotten the contract the contract or the condition. But what has happened now is beyond, you
cannot remain quiet. He says, How dare you kill an innocent child? How could you do this? And her
mother says, Look, I told you didn't I, I told you, you will not be patient. And Musa understood
that, yes, this was another test. So now he put a condition on himself. And Musa says, okay, you
know what, three strikes and I'm out one more time, and I'm not going to accompany you, we're going
to part our ways you have one, I'm not going to able to be patient with you. Then they're traveling,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:16:13
			they're hungry, again, no food, and they pass by the city. And as you're all aware, in those times,
and in that civilizations, all civilizations, when you are hungry and thirsty, and you pass by your
city, it is the hack or the right of humanity, that you give a glass of water, you give a small
piece of bread, it's the heart of humanity, all people do, this is the way of the world when a
traveler goes into your city has nothing else you just give him just from the world go and get some
water. However, in this particular city, in this particular village, there were so stingy, they
didn't even give them that glass of water. They didn't even give them some water from the well still
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:52
			when they were expelled and they were mocked and they were made fun of and they're walking out to
City Hall, the bills the part of the wall that was there and Musa is tired, frustrated, angry,
hungry, he says the least you could have done they didn't give us food and water, get some money for
your for your effort, so that we can buy some food and water and how that fulfills his condition
that Musa put from now on, we're going to part our ways. And now let me explain. And in this
explanation, brothers and sisters, in this explanation, every time a tragedy happens to one of us,
we should read this surah again, every time a calamity, because the first calamity is the loss of
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:33
			money is the loss of a possession or belonging. The second calamity is the loss of life. It's the
loss of someone you love. The third calamity, it is the prolonging of suffering, you're in pain,
you're in suffering, and there's no end in sight. And every one of these calamities we face them
regularly, the first calamity, the loss of something that you own your material possession. In this
particular case, the foot caught off this ship this dow this dingey It was owned by a multiple of
people, not even one there are so poor, they can't even afford one fishing boat. So five or 10
people have come together, pooled their resources and purchased a fishing boat. The rest of the city
		
00:17:33 --> 00:18:12
			is wealthy. This is the poorest lot and how their says you don't know, Allah told me that a king is
going to come and going to confiscate all of the ships for his navy, and this ship that it has a
hole in it, the king doesn't have the patience to repair it, he's going to leave that ship and take
all the rest of the ships in the harbor such that when the king leaves, the only ship left in the
entire village will be this fisherman's ship. So from being the poorest of the poor, they become the
truly multimillionaires because they have the only ship in the entire village. You don't know by
putting this one hole. I saved them from a much larger calamity. And I swear to you, brothers and
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:52
			sisters, how many stories I have experienced, and my close friends and colleagues and people that
have told me that some tragedy happened. And they're wondering why did this happen? It caused them
inconvenience, only to discover that tragedy was Wallahi a blessing in disguise. In one particular
case. There was a minor car accident where the tire was was broken, the car had to move out of the
way and people are frustrated and hygiene no matter what's going on. Hours are delayed. Turns out
that had they been on the road, there was actually a major oil spill and a much worse disaster that
might even have cost their lives by saving the car but with one tire flat, they were wasting an hour
		
00:18:52 --> 00:19:31
			their lives were saved, had they been on the road, Allah knows what would have happened if they had
been going and that major accident took place. Allah saved them by just putting a tire puncture,
save the entire car. And there are so many other stories that I have witnessed and I have seen and
no tragedy happens except that we put our trust in Allah that what Allah has saved us from is more
than what this tragedy has cost us there has to be a sense of Eman until what cool. It also shows us
by the way, this story that the way to save yourselves from calamities is generosity. Why did Allah
save the ship of these fishermen? Why did Allah choose this ship to save because they were the most
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:59
			generous? They were the ones who even though they didn't have money they were willing to give from
their ship allow the people to come on their boat for free. This shows us when you're good unto
others when you're kind unto others when you're generous unto others, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada will
protect you don't be stingy from Allah's blessings, thinking that holding it in your hand is going
to bring Allah's blessings when you give to others. Allah azza wa jal will give you back much more
so we learn from the story
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:36
			that when a tragedy happens, one of the best ways to save yourselves is you be of benefit to other
people. And when that happens console yourself that what Allah has saved me from is much more, we
might lose a job, we weren't losing income, we might be in some minor accident, whatever happens,
put your toe couldn't trust that the bigger picture is something I don't understand. But Allah
knows, and I don't know, as for the second, which is indeed a very traumatic story, and especially
in light of the last two, three weeks where incidents around the globe of innocent children you
know, having very difficult that's in Morocco and have honest thought in other places, these types
		
00:20:36 --> 00:21:17
			of things that happen and it's times like this where we all wonder why what's going on people who
don't have faith begin to question the wisdom of God or even the existence of God. And we remind
ourselves of this story, we remind ourselves of this story, that Allah has a wisdom and indeed,
nobody can understand the suffering of a parent who has lost a son or daughter except another
parent, it is a tragedy that ask Allah to protect myself and yourself from there is no tragedy it is
said that is more painful than that tragedy Allahumma except one and that is you know, if a young
child passes away Wallahi it is a suffering and pain not meant to trivialize at all but the memory
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:59
			of a beautiful child is going to be forever and inshallah you will be reunited with a child in
Jannah. But worse than this is a child that grows up to be an obstinate young man who is rude and
rejecting of his parents who will constantly cause tension who will constantly bring distress and
grief and shame. That is a worse pain than the pain of an innocent child that has gone and whose
memory remains pure. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says In the Surah, that Allah knew that this child
would cause them pain, this child would give them grief throughout their lives. And because they
were good, Allah wanted to give them a beautiful child. This was not the child that was right for
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:38
			them. So Allah bless them with 510 years of a beautiful child took the child away, remember is
remain Jana is there, then Allah will substitute a better child for them. We learned from this so
many things of them. Obviously the most simple one is that life and death is in the hands of Allah.
It's not in our hands. When death occurs, we have to have an acceptance in the law he was in the
layer on your own. We also accept that when death occurs, it was the best for that person. We don't
know when death is best, we don't know. But Allah knows and Allah will choose the death that is the
best for the righteous person, whether it's a child, whether it's a 50 year old, whether it's a 90
		
00:22:38 --> 00:23:19
			year old, Allah knows best, what is the best time to take that person's soul so we accept Allah
SCADA. Yes, we can be sad, yes, we can grieve but deep down inside, there must be an acceptance that
Allah knows the best time I'm not the one who knows the future. Allah knows the future. So we accept
this as well. Another benefit we learn from this beautiful phrase here is that and we learn there's
some of the Hadith as well, never does Allah take something away from you, and you are patient,
except that Allah will give you something better than what he has taken away. Never is some tragedy
occurring to you never do you lose someone or something. And you are patient, except that ALLAH will
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:56
			substitute something or someone that is better for you. Just be patient and you will find something
in your life. It's not going to fill the empty hole of that lost loved one. That's a special place
that's a special place in your heart. But Allah will give you other good and other blessings that
will be there for you because you were patient. This is very explicit that Allah wanted to
substitute and our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, whoever leaves something for the sake
of Allah, Allah will give him something better than what was taken away. Allah will give him
something better than what was taken away. We learned from this as well. The third instance, we
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:34
			learned from the story is that there were there were two orphans their father had died. And their
father was a righteous man. And he had left a treasure under this portion of his wall. He had a wall
at the end of the city, poor man very end of the city is his house, and he has a treasure. He
thought one day he tell his sons about it, but he dies before his sons are old. So the sons do not
know. So they live a very difficult life a very a life of hardship. And look at these people of the
city. They did not give Musa another a glass of water. What do you think they would have done? If
they discovered a treasure for two little kids? What do you think they would have done? Would they
		
00:24:34 --> 00:25:00
			have given it to the kids? They would have confiscated it? So Allah subhanho wa Taala delayed that
discovery, despite the fact that the mother of these children put yourself in her situation, she
must be wondering, my husband was the righteous man, where is that piety? Now? Where is all of the
good that we were supposed to have? She might be making dua to Allah constantly for risk for
sustenance. And she does not realize because again, we don't
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:36
			knowing Allah knows that if that sustenance, if that treasure were to be discovered today, which she
wants, she doesn't want to delay 10 years. She wants it right here and now, but she doesn't know if
she gets it now she's not going to see any of it. Plus one, do you really need wealth when the kids
are two? Or when they're 21? Do you really need wealth when the young man are able to take the money
defended, invested, do something with it. So Allah subhanho wa taala, protected the piety of the
dead father, and this shows us another point brothers and sisters, you want to protect your
children, you want to have your children to be righteous, you want to give them the best of the dean
		
00:25:36 --> 00:26:15
			and the dunya the way you do so is you start with yourself, what kind of a boo whom I saw there, hi,
by the way, even in the second story, their parents were righteous. So Allah wanted to give them a
righteous kid, who amongst us does not want to write your son or daughter, who amongst us does not
want to loving, caring, generous, good human being as a son and daughter. Well, Allah here we all
do. How do we get that? And how do we give our children the best we begin with ourselves, we begin
with ourselves, our own o'clock, our own manners, our own worship and relationship of Allah, what
kind of a boo hoo now saw their have their father was a good man. That's what Allah says. So the
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:53
			money of the children was given to them because their father was a good man, you want to take care
of your kids, you begin with your own piety. You want to give them the best of this world, even
before your job and career you begin with your own inner spirituality. That is step number one, what
kind of a boo hoo ha saw their home the point being, in this case we learned sometimes you're
afflicted with a tragedy, sometimes you're afflicted with the calamity, and you don't see the end in
sight, but you don't understand it is there for a reason. And that delay even though you don't know
it is actually for a reason that you will maybe see later on in all of these three stories. The one
		
00:26:53 --> 00:27:27
			underlying current and theme is we must accept Allah as other and trust that it is the best for us.
Because what Allah decides is always going to be what is best for us whether we understand it or
whether we do not understand it. And that is one of the biggest blessings of believing in Allah as
other in the Eman of Allah other which is one of the fundamentals of our faith. May Allah subhana wa
Allah bless me and you within who the Quran and may make us of those who is versus they understand
and applies halal and haram throughout our lifespan ask Allah's forgiveness you as well ask him for
his dough for and the Rockman.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:45
			Alhamdulillah HillWalker that I had a summit Allah de la mula mula wala Muco loco for phoned ahead,
we're about to do
		
00:27:46 --> 00:28:04
			your Muslims. On the international scene, as usual, so much is going on? Where does one even begin?
We see what is happening. Of course, the long list of the past the Uighur situation, Muslims of
Burma fellows thean currently what is happening in India, and now we see the invasions of Ukraine
and whatnot.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:44
			And today's brief half holds a second hold. But I want to remind myself and all of you of one of the
things I have been saying consistently, one of the one of the not the only, and not number one, but
one of the things that we should be cognizant and aware of his the fact that Allah has blessed us to
be living in this land. This is a land that has a lot of power. It is the land that is the number
one superpower in the world. And Allah has blessed us to be citizens of this land, we have safety
and security. And we have the power to influence our local politics and politicians. I have said
this many times. I don't believe this is the number one tactic but it's also not something we should
		
00:28:44 --> 00:29:26
			ignore. Yes, we begin with ourselves. Yes, taqwa and spirituality is number one. But one of the
tools one of the tactics, one of the means is to see who it is that is in power, and who it is that
is in the best interests of humanity in the best interests of peace in the best interests of our own
civic lives. Brothers and sisters, participating in the political process of this land is really
something that is a no brainer, especially after the last 25 years have shown us what happens when
we are apolitical. We cannot allow politicians who have nothing to do with us to dictate unto us how
to live our lives, if you're not going to participate in the political process that in and of itself
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:59
			is a type of participation. And whether you like it or not, even if you don't participate
automatically, other people will be and your lack of participation will be its own influence. This
is a part and parcel of the country that we live in. And we are currently seeing the this is
currently the week of voting and next week is going on, and especially epic and Hamdulillah. We're
going to be having polling stations for the first time. This is the first time we're going to have
polling stations in our own messages. Now, by the way, when we have a polling station in our own
vicinity, and Masjid politicians can monitor
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:38
			To try and track the votes, they're not going to see your name or whatnot. But they'll see that this
community predominantly voted in this manner predominantly voted for that candidate. What this shows
is that they will see that we have a block vote, they will see that our own community is not a
community that can be ignored in the cities that were in. And in the districts that were in, there
are 10s of 1000s of people like us 10s of 1000s, we have the potential to influence at the electoral
level, we have the potential to influence and this week is the week of the primaries, this is even
more important that we get involved. Why because the primaries is when the candidates are selected.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:31:15
			And for whatever reason in this country primaries, hardly anybody goes to 10% of the will go to so
if large groups go to the primaries, you can actually influence more than later on. So this is the
week of the primaries, I cannot tell you who to vote for, that's not something we're allowed to do.
That's your job, choose the lesser of the two evils, choose the one who will look at what is going
on in the world choose the one who will at least give statements against the Uyghurs against what is
happening in India, because in reality, let us not underestimate the PR that those countries want.
You do not know if a Senator for Congressman releases a statement, it might affect policy at the
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:51
			national level. And not just this, our politics isn't just foreign. We're also concerned about
what's going on here, our jobs, our health care, our education, it's our job to be educated, who is
running for our districts, who are the people that are going to be ruling over us, whether you like
it or not your taxes, and mine are their salary. These are our representatives. So the least that we
should do is to do our homework to do our research. And there are organizations, Muslim and
otherwise, that are doing this work for you. If you don't know, ask around, but the least we should
be do is to be aware and then make a conscious decision, even if you choose not to. And I'm not
		
00:31:51 --> 00:32:29
			saying you must, even if you choose not to do so based upon knowledge based upon your understanding
that all of these people, in your opinion, are not worth your support. That's your decision that's
up to you. But at the very least be aware and influence and petition and call. And do you know what
brothers and sisters as our numbers and quantities increase, and as our political participation
increases, it's only a matter of time before the very people that are supposed to rule over us are
going to get our feedback. There are communities just as small as ours, but they are politically
powerful. No person runs for office, except that they meet with those communities. They get the
		
00:32:29 --> 00:33:07
			approval from those communities, they see what is what is this community is interested in for
whatever reason, we Muslims of America haven't gotten to that level yet. Even though we have the
numbers and we have the wealth, Wallah he we have the numbers and we have the wealth. But because we
are a political by and large, and because we're recent groups of immigrants, this is going to take a
while but the change has to be from now we can influence our local politics, our foreign politics,
our domestic politics, but in order to do so we need to be actively involved. So my ask of you is
very simple. Do your research, do your homework, know who's running and what are their stances? If
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:45
			you don't know give them a call give them a Your shout out if you agree or your disagreement make
sure they know who you are and slowly but surely, every one of us can make a difference I ask ALLAH
