And sometimes Allah is protecting us
from nirmah that we might get drunk with.
Yes. We might get drunk with that blessing.
Like, Allah gives you a qadr, a
decree of a blessing that fits
your
personality.
The iman in Allah
is what brought them to this total
trust in Allah that they said, la abayra.
There is no harm upon us by which
you are mentioning because you only have control
of our bodies for Allah.
But the one that has control of our
souls, this is the one that we rely
on. I've gone through this myself, and I'm
sure if each and every single one of
us really focuses and looks back at their
daily life, you will see there were certain
times that you were in need of something.
You thought it was good for you, but
later on in your lives, if you were
given that something specifically at that time, it
would have, you know, pulled you away from
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Assalamu alaykum, Warahmatullahi wa barakatsuh, everyone. Welcome back
to Quran 30 for 30. Alhamdulillah, I'm
joined here by our beloved Sheikh Abdullah Adura
as always,
and Ustada Yousra Pandir, alhamdulillah, who is going
to be joining us today. Before we get
started, inshaAllah ta'ala, just a reminder that as
we are getting into the last 10 nights
to please insha'allah ta'ala make sure that you
sign up for the last 10 nights webathon.
Make sure that you also sign up for
a donation bidna We ask you to support
the work at Yaqeen, inshaAllah ta'ala, as you're
supporting other great causes, especially
the causes in relation to our brothers and
sisters in Gaza,
this year in particular.
And
as always, inshaAllah ta'ala, we have the question
from the juz before. So we are in
juz 19 today. So from last juz,
let's see if you all can answer this
question Insha'Allah Ta'ala quickly. Sheikh Abdullah, you're not
allowed to answer.
Okay. Alright,
Why was Surat An Nur given this name?
So go ahead and plug your answer. Why
was Surat An Nur given this name?
So Insha'Allah Ta'ala with that, we're in just
19. Astagh al Yusra. First of all, we
wanna welcome you to the show. How's everything?
Alhamdulillah.
For having me. An honor and a pleasure.
Alhamdulillah.
So it's your second time around, but Alhamdulillah.
Yes. So we're we're honored to have you
in person this time. Honor is mine. Thank
you. Really appreciate the spirit of your dua,
umashAllah, and the way that you are resonating
with with many, many young people,
Yes. Especially many young girls,
And,
especially your response
to Pierce Morgan. We called it Arraddil Morgan.
Yeah. Right? The
the the response to Pierce Morgan in regards
to the hijab,
I think it was deeply profound, masha'Allah, salaam,
coming from you. May Allah reward you. What
made you decide to do that?
Well, it took me 2 days. I would
go to bed and it's just like an
answer in my head. I'm like, I need
to respond and say something to this man.
And after 2 days, I'm like, that's it.
I'm like, you know, as an adult,
we're more grounded in our faith. But for
I'm thinking of my daughters and my friends'
daughters, all the girls, for them to hear
this, someone had to say something. You know?
They needed that reaffirmation that this is not
why we wear hijab. This is not why
we cover. You know, it's it's really a,
you know, a symbol of liberating yourself from
everything except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So it
had to be done. Alhamdulillah. I'm gonna thank
you. I'll reward you for for doing it.
Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.
How are you? I'm good.
Back here for the 19th time. So
So
with episode 19, it actually fits, by the
way,
the response that you did. We talked in
just 18 about Suratul Muminu,
the
qualities of the believers. Why they do what
they do, the intention that they have, and
the way that they keep themselves
grounded in that which is sincere to Allah
and they manifest the most beautiful of qualities.
Now, in juz 19,
the beauty of the qualities of the true
believers comes out. So, obviously, in the end
of Surat Al Furqan, we have once again,
the
qualities of the servants of the most merciful.
And then we have these 2 Surahs, Surah
Shoa'ala and Surah Namal. And these 2 Surahs
give us these glimpses into the wives of
the prophets.
But as we've said in previous seasons, it's
actually interesting because
Surat al Sharara you have prophets that are
dealing with tyrants and disobedient followers. And then
in Surat Namil, you have the story of
the success of prophet Suleyman alayhi salaam. So,
in Surat Ashur'ada it's Musa alayhi salaam dealing
with Firaun and dealing with Bani Israel and
then you go on to Surat Al Namad
and you have Soleiman alayhis salam that is
obviously, you know, leading the way and it
shows you the potential
when a prophet has what they need in
terms of the nirma that's been bestowed upon
them with that Ikhlas, with the right tools
and supports around them, and what they are
able to do on this earth.
Now, obviously,
just like with everything else when Allah talks
about
good, he always talks about bad. When he
talks about righteousness, he talks about wickedness. When
he talks about Jannah, he talks about Anar.
Paradise, he talks about the fire.
We also see the opposite qualities, right, of
the believers. We see the opposite qualities of
the prophets.
The prophets
manifest those qualities as individuals in the most
beautiful of ways.
Their nations
manifest those qualities collectively,
the opposite of those qualities, in the worst
of ways. And the verse that I'm just
gonna talk about really quickly today
is verse 22
of Surah al Shurah.
Allah
says that Musa alayhi salam says to Firaun,
when Firaun boasts about
helping Musa, alayhis salam. Right? Boasts about making
things easy for Musa, alayhis salam. Didn't I
take you in? Didn't I take care of
you?
And he's saying, how can you remind me
about this nirma, about this supposed blessing,
when you enslave the, you know, the children
of Bani Isla'id in the first place? Right?
We wouldn't have been in a situation of
even needing your handout
had you not enslaved
Bani Israel in the first place. And, subhanAllah,
how relevant is this today,
to the, the colonial nation of Israel and
what it does to the people of Palestine
and the people of Gaza, and then comes
back and says, we take care of the
Palestinians. Right?
We've we've given them a diet, a restricted
diet, and look at the way that they
live and look at the rights that we
give them and, you know, the the the
corridors that we are making for them and,
you know, boast about humanitarian aid. In fact,
even when the United States when Anthony Blinken,
I think it was he who said that
we give more aid
to the Palestinians than anyone else, but you
also fund more bombs on the Palestinians than
anyone else. So it's actually very relevant to
the situation that we see today.
But there are 2 things just quickly to
think about. Number 1,
the opposite of the quality of the believers
that are lizzakatifa
ilun. They stand for the sake of Allah
in a way that's blessed, in a way
that's beautiful,
and it's sincere.
And when you give for the sake of
Allah
you give from a place of seeking to
please Allah and you're not seeking anything from
anyone else. And Allah says the opposite of
this in Surat Al Baqarah.
Allah says, oh believers, do not nullify your
charity
by boasting, which is exactly what fir'on is
doing, right, reminding the person that you supposedly
gave charity to of your charity,
and adha, which is harming them. So Firaun
is literally doing these two things, which is
boasting about his charity
and then harming the one that he supposedly
gave charity
to. So, this is a quality of firaoun
as opposed to the believer
who gives from a place of humility because
he knows that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, gave
to him, and who gives without mentioning
to the person that they gave to because
they know 2 things. Number 1, that Allah
simply chose them as a vehicle
to care for that person.
Number 2,
that one of the reasons why poverty and
disparity
exists
is actually because of our negligence in the
first place. And this is really true, subhanAllah,
again, when you think of the the global
situation today.
It is the sin of our negligence that
leads us to be in a situation where
people otherwise need or, you know, they need
us to supposedly step forward. So maybe we
didn't put Bani Israel
in slavery the way that Firoun did, but
certainly we neglect people and that puts them
in a bad situation. And, obviously, you know,
we can't then come in and act like
heroes and saviors like they do at the
borders and different countries
because we're not seeking
their approval and we're not seeking to inflate
ourselves in the process. Sheikh Abdullah, what what
eye would you like to reflect on today?
Today? No. Definitely.
And that was a beautiful point, Sheikh Mohammed,
and,
kinda giving me the baton. Reminds me of
the verse in Surat Al Insan,
where the prophet would say,
They've really we don't want any reward from
you nor thanks, and Musa, alayhis salaam, was
definitely an exemplification of that. And we see
in the verses in chapter Shawarah verses
5051.
Chapter 26,
the chapter Shawarah.
When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is talking about
what took place with the magicians
Musa and Firaun,
where Musa alayhi salaam
was ordered by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
approach Firaun. And then Firaun
gathered up the magicians in his area and
said that they will be from the close
ones that are among him if they challenge
this man Musa Alaihi Salam.
So what happened was the magicians as we
know they brought their their staffs and their
rods and yuhayiru
ilayhimin sikhim anha tessa'a'a that it looked like
it was serpents and scorpions as some scholars
would mention
that would look as though it is something
that is threatening. But then Musa, alayhis salam,
with his staff, Allah told him to to
throw his staff as well. And when he
threw his staff it,
it devoured all of what they presented. And
at that moment, Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, uses
a certain verb here and it's cert it's
very, very beautiful where he says,
The magicians were thrown or fell
in prostration.
What's beautiful about this is that Allah said,
ulakih. That ulakih literally means to throw. It
is as though they fell in prostration
because they knew that this was not magic.
They knew that it was something much greater.
Allahu Akbar.
When they saw this they said that we
believe in the Lord of Musa and Harun.
We believe in the Lord of Musa and
Harun.
What happened after this is that Firaoun, when
he saw this, he threatened them. He said
are you going to do this and I
have not given you permission?
Then he threatened that he would crucify them.
Not only crucify them, but he would crucify
them. And he would cut off one side
of the right hand and then cut off
the left foot opposite sides of each limb
to show that he is going to punish
them. The scholars mentioned this in-depth and talk
about the reasoning behind this. But when looking
at this, what I want to capitalize on
is after the magicians they fell in prostration.
When they fell in prostration what was their
first statement after Firaun threatened them? When Firaun
said that I'm going to crucify you and
you will be of those that are crucified,
he what the the magicians say?
This is so beautiful.
Because when they said that there is no
harm upon us,
and some translations say that we don't care,
it literally says, we don't care because veiro
comes from barar. And barar means harm. So
what they literally did is they negated
the presence
of any harm. Notice after the threat.
So the threat didn't increase them.
The threat that came to them didn't increase
them, it only increased them in their faith
and submission to Allah.
And what's beautiful here is that that submission
was a means for that.
After they submitted,
fir'awn tested them and said, I'm going to
take your life. They said, we don't care.
For verily, we are going back to our
Lord.
And after that scholar is mentioned, the way
that they explain this is when they say
after that they mention they say, Inna no
tuma'in yagufilalna rabbunahkatoyana.
That verily, surely, we hope that our Lord
will forgive us for our sins for we
are the first ones to believe.
That verily we ask Allah.
You will see that in some translations
that we expect, but I like the translation
of hope because tama'
is a type of hope in Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. You're not sure, but you have
this total rajah and hope in Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala that you will be from the
first of the believers that believed at that
time. And Musa, after the threat from the
quote unquote most powerful man at that time,
perceived
to be Firaun. But Wallahi, the most powerful
man was Musa alayhi salaam.
Because of his belief in Allah
His trust in Allah
So what we see here is the response
of the magicians that turned Muslim
from their prostration
and seeing the miracles of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. And secondly, not relying on only what
we see. The iman in Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala is what brought them to this total
trust in Allah that they said, la abayra.
There is no harm upon us by which
you are mentioning. Because you only have control
of our bodies for Allahabad.
But the one that has control of our
souls, this is the one that we rely
on. And that reliance, subhanAllah, we see with
other prophets, masha'Allah.
Sister, when it comes to, prophet, perhaps you
will Yes. Guard upon your edges. Okay.
So, mashAllah, yes, we see the, you know,
the different messages coming from the different prophets
and SubhanAllah, as we said, we are on
the 19th juz. So we're about to start,
inshaAllah, the last 10 days of Ramadan,
almost reaching that final line Bismillah and there's
so many valuable lessons in this juz that
hopefully if we really do some tadabbur and
contemplate,
we can really be inspired to pull through
and attain the rahmat of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala and the maghfirah and the Ayatqut from
the hellfire of ibn Allah. And I want
to focus on Surat An Naml and the
story of, you know, Sayyidina Dawood and Sayyidina
Sulayman. And I'm just going to jump directly
to verse 15.
When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentions to us
the unbelievable
wealth and abilities
and knowledge and power that he bestowed upon
Sayyidina Suleyman
and Sayyidina Dawood and how they were grateful.
They were in a state of gratitude towards
this power and they had the understanding that
this was given to them from Allah
And in this is a profound reminder for
every man in power, every woman in power,
everyone who has the ability to, you know,
have the word, you know, the power of
the word, the power of the decision
to utilize
this position
in bringing victory to the Haqq, to the
truth in the same fashion Syed Nasulayman did
and to never let their own nafs come
in between them and between what the truth
is. SubhanAllah.
And so, it's a very powerful reminder here
and to remember
that the position that they're in is something
that was bestowed upon them from Allah
and it could be very easily taken away.
And then we jump to verses 17 and
19 when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
Solomon's forces of jinn and humans and birds
were perfectly organized, rallied up for him, until
they came upon the Valley of Ants. And
an ant warned the other ants and it
told them what? Run into your home so
that Suleyman and his armies do not crush
you unknowingly. And then we see after that
in verse 19,
The end of the ayah.
Sayyidina Suleiman's response was that he smiled, you
know, at the you know, in astonishment at
the aint's response.
And I want to stop here and unpack
a lot of things in these 3 ayahs
in a very short 5 minutes, insha'Allah.
The first thing here I want you to
kind of picture with me. If you're
standing standing in front of the most powerful
army, right, coming towards you, and I'm not
going to just say an army of human
beings, but jinn. We hear 1 jinn story
and we're like, we're
mortified. This is an entire army of jinn
humans and birds.
As a human being, I'm not going to
tell you as an ant, the first response
is what?
You flee. It's The
ethical egoism kicks in right away. You don't
even think about it. Let alone a little
ant that, you know, we see on the
kitchen counter and we go like this and
it's rahmatullahalih. It's gone. Right? So imagine the
response of this ant.
The ant, despite knowing that it's facing the
most powerful army, it turns around and it
starts to act in a way that is
very responsible, in a manner that is more
dignified than many of us would carry their
way, you know, themselves
in. Right?
It feels irresponsible toward its tribe, toward its
community, towards its ummah
and it warns them. It does her part.
And then, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and I
think to myself, is it the sincerity of
the ant? Is it the yaqeen, the certainty,
you know, or is it the tawakkul on
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that Allah allows
the voice of this ant to be carried
as some of the scholars say that the
ant's voice was carried across
the entire valley and every ant, even those
who were, you know, far out of, you
know, hearing, you know, range
to hear the
ant. Not just that, but Sayyidna Sulayman
to be able to hear what the ant
said, SubhanAllah.
And I think to myself,
it's not just the sense of responsibility towards
your ummah, but also the sense of striving
and this brings us back to what is
happening in Gaza.
In the past couple of days, couple of
months, subhanAllah, the feeling of desperation might be
kind of seeping into our hearts. The feeling
of what is the point of doing what
we're doing when not doing anything. There's no
outcome. There's nothing that we're seeing that is
tangible that is actually bringing an end to
this genocide.
But we are reminded by this end that
no matter what the outcome might be, you
still have to strive. You still have to
speak up. You don't know how your voice
will be carried by Allah
who it's going to go to and what
kind of impact it might have. So a
very profound reminder to continue striving, to continue
acting as a part of this Ummah and
feeling responsible towards one another, insha'Allah.
Beautiful reflections,
from both of you. I was thinking
it's really interesting. You talked about Fir'aun and
the magicians.
And it's interesting because a tyrant always tries
every tactic of manipulation.
Right? So he tried to manipulate his magicians.
He tried to manipulate his people. He tried
to manipulate Musa, alayhis salaam, even using emotional
manipulation.
Right? He tried to guilt him in another
point in saying, you know, I know what
you did. Right? I know the sin that
you committed, that crime that you committed, and
you're kind of seeing that Firaoun's
lure
is coming apart. Right. It's all falling apart.
Yeah. Every type of manipulation he's using, every
type of boasting, every type of power he's
trying to bestow upon himself
is all coming apart before his very two
eyes to the point that even Asiya leaves
him. Right, and becomes a perfect
a perfect believing woman. So it all falls
apart for him, and then he ends up
in this complete desperation. So before the waves
of darkness
overcome him and he drowns, he loses it
all. All of all of the things that
he thought that he owned
are gone from him. Then you see Soleiman
alayhis salam, and a man who doesn't try
to remind others of the nirma that he
did for them.
So, they say, oh my lord, let me
have the capacity to properly thank you. I
want to be able to thank you, like,
expand my chest, allow me to properly say
alhamdulillah for what you've given me. And how
Allah blesses suayman, alayhis salam, and there is
more barakah in everything that he has to
the point that
while you could see the rose and you
could see the kingdom,
it's very hard to see an ant when
you see the palace of Suleyman, alayhis salam.
Right? But all of these are working in
perfect harmony
for Suleyman alayhis salam because he's grateful, because
of his shukur. So it's an amazing,
like, the opposite of of a righteous king
and a wicked tyrant. Yes. You know, with
with all the supports that they have.
You look at the sun and then the
chain of narration, I mean, it goes back
to shaytan and Adam, you know. Yeah. Shaitan
was, had takabbur.
He was arrogant and didn't want to prostrate
to Adam. But then Adam, when he committed
a sin,
They both said we oppressed ourselves.
And if you do not forgive us and
have mercy upon us, we will be from
the losers, understanding that it's the mercy of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That humility that Suleiman
had and the arrogance that Firawn had. So
going back to really looking at those two
character traits and asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
that He makes us humble. And through those
trials,
when we see what takes place like the
magicians,
it made them humble to where they prostrated
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So that's a,
subhanAllah,
some beautiful points too when looking at that
and looking at what's going on with our
brothers and sisters in all of us, and
how that those trials and tribulations is even
even a sign for us to always come
back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and to
stand in the middle of the night and
to pray and to make sajda. And just
remember those moments and know that
everything is possible for Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
as we see with the ants. I mean,
an ant. Yes. Funnel.
You said an ant compared to a palace.
You look at the palace, but you don't
realize it's the ant that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala is using
to send a message. SubhanAllah. Yes. We never
know really who Allah is going to use
and how he's going to use you. And
subhanAllah, when you're saying about how, you know,
the, the magicians when, you know, the tur
the tribulations just made them become, you know,
stronger in their faith. I think
every image that's coming out of Gaza. Right?
SubhanAllah, the more they're tested, the more, alhamdulillah,
as you're seeing. The amount of strength and
faith and how they're so grounded and rooted
into the faith
is such Yani, subhanAllah, it's like something that
gives us death beat. It gives us firmness
and makes us really understand, like, you know,
we are not there. We are here. And,
you know, as you said, it's that tiny
voice. Yes. Our voices here might be, like,
in the middle of an ocean amidst all
the propaganda and all the oppression and the
injustice, but we have to remember that Allah,
subhanahu wa ta'ala, is the embodiment of justice.
And nothing is gone, you know, that's gonna
just go passing by without, you know, without,
you know, him, subhanahu wa ta'ala, taking care
of it. And, you know, everything's noted. Everything
nothing that yeah. It's not habaa and mantura.
You know, what we're doing here and what
they're going through is not Habah and Montura,
SubhanAllah.
No. No. And I like how you because,
you know, in the verse you mentioned how
Musa responded to Firaun. You know, Firaun, as
you said, he used all types of media.
Mhmm. Because media is a medium
for a message. Yeah. So Firaun tried all
of these ways. He gathered the magicians and
the people, and SubhanAllah, Musa with his knowledge
SubhanAllah and wittiness to be honest, you know
he responded in this way as you mentioned
in the verse.
Alarayim. This is the netmah you're talking about.
Now you compared it with the politicians of
today. You have to read between the lines.
And how you
responded to Piers Morgan using the media to
get that message across.
And who knows how it's going to empower
that girl in elementary school, and she's the
only Muslim girl in her class. Yeah. You
know? And and she doesn't know what it
means. But now she's seeing a sister,
that's representing
on her phone or on the television,
and it brings her some level of iman
even. You know, a strength. So that's very
important that we use these mediums to get
the message across in a way that is
showing grace and honor to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala and justice.
There's a question that I would come back
to for both of you, inshallah time. Maybe
just in closing, you can give your thoughts.
So this year,
you know, in my Ramadan series, I'm talking
about Qadr, decree and divine decree, and
that's kinda what I'm trying to focus on,
right, when there are different ayaatas, the decree.
And a lot of people look back
in history,
and they say, I would never become.
I would always be.
I would I would be the grateful,
you know, powerful person.
I would never become the tyrant.
But you can also see, like,
how Firaun becomes a total narcissist. He always
sees what he does for everyone else,
even to the Sahara. I mean, like, they're
they're working for
They're working
for. There's magicians. They're you know, before they
become believers. Right? Right. But even them, like,
I'll make you from the close ones to
me. Right. I'm I'm always the one doing
for you. Right? That's a fir'awn. Like, I
did this for you, Musa. I did this
for you, magicians. I did this for you,
my people. I did this for for you,
for you, for you, for you.
And
what does the prophet tell us? Whoever does
not thank the people does not thank Allah.
It's clear that the man has no self
awareness of the things that people have done
for him Mhmm. And no words of gratitude
for anyone.
Right? So, Asiya, how dare you betray me?
I'm gonna take you out and and torture
you and humiliate you because I put you
in this palace. Right? It's kind of that's
that mindset. Right?
And sometimes Allah is protecting us
from nirma that we might get drunk with.
Yes. We might get drunk with that blessing.
Like Allah gives you a qadr,
a decree of a blessing that fits
your
personality.
And you might think, I didn't need to
go through this. I mean, Allah is raising
your maqam, or he's raising your rank, opening
your eyes.
So what do you say to someone who
is like, you know,
why did Allah give so much power to
this man,
firaoun?
If Allah would have given me,
I would never be like the firaoun of
that time
or the firaouns of today because there are
pharaohs in every generation. Right? There is the
firaoun of this ummah's Abu Jahad. I would
never be like that firaoun and I would
never be like the firaouns of today. What
do you say to someone who's like, you
know, I would never act this way with
powers?
So, subhanAllah, I think I would just come
back to the dua of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam when he would say
Oh Allah, you know, the turner of hearts.
Keep my heart, you know, firm or steadfast
on this deen. As you said, Imam Ambar,
you don't know when someone is given something.
You really don't know yourself until you are
put in that position.
You don't know if this nama is a
nama or a nikhnah. You don't know if
it's a test or it's a blessing. Right?
We always say, whatever it is that you're
giving, you know, to us, make it a
form of getting close to you and make
it a blessing, not a test. Because tests,
subhanAllah, you don't know how your heart is
going to change. Yes. Perhaps they say, well,
you know what? I'm gonna be really good
if I have all this money or this
or that. And so many times, subhanAllah, we
are put in certain situations in life
where you really want something, and it could
be something appearing very good, perhaps going to
Hajj or this or that, and Allah doesn't
make it work out for you. And then
later on, Allah reveals to you how there
was so much good for you, how you
became so much more prepared, how you were
able to benefit and to not just yourself,
but benefit others as well. And I've gone
through this myself and I'm sure if each
and every single one of us really focuses
and looks back at their daily life, you
will see there were certain times that you
were in need of something. You thought it
was good for you, but later on you
realize if you were given that something specifically
at that time, it would have, you know,
pulled you away from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
No. And that reminds me, SubhanAllah, you mentioned
the du'a of the prophet sallam yamukhalbuqulu.
It's a bit called be al Adidic.
When did he say that? In sujud, you
know, in prostration.
And the companion asked the prophet sallam, he
said, I I asked to be your marafik
in Jannah,
You know, to be with you. And what
did he tell them? He
said
Yes.
You know, help me upon you to help
you by prostrating a lot. So the actions
of worship
at times it's going to be that which
it keeps your heart firm. It's being consistent
to the best of your ability and showing
gratitude to Allah with the framework that he
has given you, which is called the sharia.
And that's what's important in looking at this
situation.
I don't know when I when I face
that situation, I hope
I hope that I will be of those
people. And that rajat that you have in
your heart, that hope and longing for and
wanting to be of those kinds of people,
Allah is not unaware of that. So when
that time comes, you'll be someone that is
firm, Insha'Allah, like we see our brothers and
sisters, what's going on in gazan around the
world.
You don't know when that time is going
to come. Yes. Right? But you ask Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala for the bat. May Allah
give us the bat in his life and
Jazakumullah
Khair for the wonderful reflections. May Allah Subhanu
wa Ta'ala give tibbat, of course, to all
of our brothers and sisters in Palestine
and around the world. As we know, it's
beyond
Gaza and specifically our brothers and sisters that
have been oppressed for the last few months
in Gaza and beyond.
And may Allah 'Azza wa Jal make us
people who embody nirma and and manifest it
the way of suleiman alayhis salaam
and not those who reject and become arrogant
like Firaoun and
study usuf to be blessed. Thank you so
much for having me. Thank you so much.
