Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in his
most noble book,
to walk up to Allah.
Have trust in Allah if you are indeed
believers.
We hear this
phrase a lot. Trust in Allah. Have tawakkuk
in Allah
But what does it mean?
What are its implications in our lives and
are what are the results
of having it? This is what we'll discuss
today shortly, Insha'Allah.
Trust is something you give to someone,
but
in Allah
is
trust beyond
capabilities
to understand why.
We trust Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
without knowing
the plan. Without knowing like, if you trust
someone, you usually have reasons that you trust
them. I trust this person because we've done
business in the past, you know, and he's
always been in right just right with me
and I trust this person because I'm known
my law. We trust Allah subhanahu wa ta'ana
unequivocally.
Unequivocally
we trust him with everything. But what are
its realities? What are its realities? I'll give
you a couple of
examples
in Because the world right now is crazy.
It's crazy. Those of you who are looking
what's going on around the world, we're not
just talking about in the Gaza, we're talking
about globally. Globally, the world is upside down,
and it does not seem to be getting
any better anytime soon.
So how do we
reconcile this? We see the world is full
of darkness. It's full of evil. It's full
of oppression.
It's full of difficulties.
It's full of hardship. It's full of tyrants.
It's full of tyranny.
How do we reconcile
this
with
a just Lord? How do we reconcile this
with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who is
How do we reconcile this with Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala who is Ar Rahman, who is
Almatif. How do we reconcile the 2?
At the time of Musa
there was a tyrant as well. One of
the most famous
of all
time, Fir'aun.
The Fir'aun.
There have been many types of pharaohs throughout
history but the Fir'awn
referred to in the Quran,
the pharaoh at the time of Moses was
one of the worst tyrants that the world
has ever known.
So much so that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
preserved him
and promised that I would preserve you as
a sign
to the nations that come after you. And
we know today he's still preserved. He's in
he's in a he's in a museum in
Egypt and he's traveled around the world. He's
probably traveled to more countries than most of
us.
At his time,
he had Bani Israel in bondage, in slavery,
and they were being persecuted.
And for generations they have been making dua
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give them
freedom, to send someone to them, to give
them some escape.
And there was a child born named Busa.
And when this child was young,
Piraun had a dream
that there would be one of these children
alive right now that would grow up and
overthrow him and be his instruction.
So what did he do in response?
He ordered that all of the young sons
of Bani Israel
under a certain age be slaughtered. Kill all
of them. This was This is the way
of tyrants. They just get rid of their
enemies.
So
all of these children were being slaughtered left,
right and center.
But Musa had to be saved. Musa had
to be spared.
So Allah
sent
an angel to Musa's mother
to Musa's mother and told her the plan
to save Musa.
Right? The plan to save Musa was simple.
Take your child, your infant, put him in
a box. Put that box in the river
Nile
and let it go.
That was it. That was all of the
plan she was given. She wasn't told anything
else. She wasn't told the continuation that this
is how it's gonna go. No.
Put him in the box. Allah commanded you
to put him in a box, put him
in the Nile river and let him go.
Now the Nile River is not some little,
you know, bubbling brooks like we have here
in in Texas. The Nile River is is
something akin to the Mississippi, you know. It's
not a river you just jump into. I
spent a couple of years in a in
a in a flat right in front of
the Nile River on a road known as
in
in in Cairo. It's not a I I
never jumped in it. You know, I would
say kids born and raised I think you
have to be born and raised in in
in Egypt to jump in that river. But
to place your child and if you are
a parent, you can understand
the complexity of this. I have to put
an infant in a box. I don't know
where he's going and just put him in
the Nile River.
But Musa's mother had tawakkul.
Tawakkul in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. She did
not need to know the whole plan. She
just knew that if Allah commanded her to
do something then she do it and Allah
would take care of the rest of the
plan. Now,
what happens? She puts him in the box,
the box starts floating down the Nile River.
And where does this box end up? Usually
in my talks I ask for responses, but,
Juma, you can't shake.
Where does this box go?
This box
arrives in pharaoh's backyard.
And now Musa's mother, even though she trusted
in Allah,
she also was a mother. She was a
mother. So she sent her daughter
to go and see where your brother goes.
Go and look. Go and go and report
to me what happens to him. Right? Keep
an eye on him. This is a mother's
love. It's unequivocal.
So
the box goes to Fir'aun's backyard. Can you
imagine if we were in today's world with
this modern technology. Right?
And Musa's sister
sends
a picture, a text message or Snapchat or
whatever have you, to Mus' mother that, Hey.
Look where this box went. This box went
to the very backyard of the person whom
you put him in the box to protect
him from.
You know, imagine if that was a movie,
or a TV series going on. The box
floats into pharaoh's backyard, they show a big
picture of his palace, and then,
we'll see you next week. All week long,
we'll be like, oh, it's over. You know,
that's it. That boy is done. That's it.
It's over. The game's over. He went to
the very place he was supposed to be
protected from. Or if Moose's sister was able
to tell her mother this is where it
went, maybe maybe she would have been like,
you know, this is not what I agreed
to. You know, this plan is not working
out. No. No. No. I didn't agree to
send them to the very person who's trying
to kill him.
Allah doesn't need you to know the whole
plan. Allah doesn't need you to know the
whole plan. He works in his own ways.
Allah
works in ways that you and I are
unable to comprehend. This is why he says
to have
in him. Trust him without understanding because you
can't grasp him. We know that how that
story goes. Fir'awn is found by who? Asi.
The wife of Fir'awn who held the iman
in her heart.
And Asiye convinced Fir'awn. She took this child
and Allah gave her an immediate love for
him. Right? She took this child to Fir'awn.
This is also shows you, this is a
little side lesson for our brothers.
Is that your wife
for those of you who are married and
if you've been married for more than 5,
10 years, you know this already. And if
you don't, learn it now. And if you're
not gonna get if you're not and you're
going to get married, learn this now. Your
wife has a superpower.
She has a superpower.
That superpower is called the power of persuasion.
That power of persuasion. When your wife really
wants something, if she's been married to you
5, 10, 15 years, she knows you well
enough, she's going to get what she wants,
one way or the other.
I've learned it's easier just to surrender early.
Surrender earlier. And the battle is just it's
it's easier. Much easier for you.
So Fir'aun convinces through the power of persuasion
for Fir'aun to adopt his own destruction.
Not only does he adopt his own destruction,
they tried to find a wet nurse for
this child because you couldn't go to the
store and buy formula. That's just not the
way it worked. You had to find someone
to breastfeed this child.
So they brought one wet nurse after another
after another after another, he wouldn't take from
any of them.
This is the command of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. He wouldn't take from any of them.
And Musa's sister's watching this whole scenario, right?
And they're getting very frustrated. So finally she
sees an opening and she comes and says,
look, can I give you a suggestion of
a woman whom I can bring, and I
I can almost assure you that he will
take from her? At that point, the child
is dying. So they're like, you know, whatever.
Bring whomever. If it works, it works. So
who does she go and get? She goes
and get Musa's mother.
She goes and gets his mother. His mother
comes Can you imagine probably her
realization when she realizes where her son is?
He's in the palace of Firoun, the very
person who's trying to kill him, whom you
sent to He's in his house now, and
you're being commanded to come. So she goes,
and as soon as Musa sees his mother,
of course he starts taking from her. And
then what happens? Now
Musa's mother is being paid, because this was
a job, She's being paid a salary
from the royal palace. She's being paid a
royal salary
and Musa and her are put under royal
guard.
Look at the plan of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
Her and her son are being paid and
put under royal guard for his protection.
So not only Fir'aun adopt his own destruction,
he pays for it. He pays to protect
it. He pays to raise it,
and its mother.
And we know that Musa would eventually raise
up, leave Egypt and then be spoken to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, sent back with his
brother Harun and they would become the reason
for the destruction
of Fir'aun
and the freedom of Bani Israel.
The plan of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does
not need to make sense to you. It
does not need to make sense to you.
Allah knows. He understands. Everything is within his
power. Everything is within his grasp.
Everything is working out exactly as he has
commanded and planned it.
Our job as believers
is to have
To trust him. To trust him no matter
what it looks like, no matter how it
looks like it's going.
Our command is to trust him.
He never says to understand me, you have
to understand my plan, you have to comprehend
it. No. Just trust me. I got this.
This is the plan of Allah
It doesn't need to make sense to you.
There was once at the time of Dawud,
a woman.
A woman. Right?
This is from the Israeli. There's a time
of Dawud, there was a woman.
She was a poor woman
and she lived her life by sewing things
and knitting.
And she would sew and knit things
and take them to the market and sell
them. And from that money,
she would then buy enough food for her
and her children for that day. She was
a widow.
And enough material to knit something for the
next day. And that's how she lived every
single day, day to day, in and out.
That's how she lived.
One day she was on the way to
the market and a bird came
and snatched up her knitting.
Snatched up that which she had to make
for the next day and took off
with it. And now she has nothing to
feed her children. And days go by and
her children are starving and she's starving. This
bird
is acting upon what? Pitro. From Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala. Birds don't have a free will.
They just do what Allah has commanded them
to do. So she goes into the
court of
Dawud
and she lodges a complaint.
She says Well first she asked a question.
She says, is Allah just
or is Allah unjust to his slaves?
It's a very strange question. Right? So he
asked, why do you ask this question? Someone
has to get to a point I know
I do I do counseling every single day.
There has to be When people ask certain
questions like this, you need to know the
why. There's a reason why this person is
asking this question. What has happened to bring
you to this point? So she explains herself.
Right?
She explains herself on what happened and, you
know, I have nothing now, my children are
starving. Is Allah just or is Allah unjust?
As the all of this is happening, some
men come in and they're carrying with them
big bags of gold.
And they come in a it's a big
commotion because, you know, they got these men
big bags of gold. They're not from here
and they come and just throw it at
the feet of the woo
And they say this is sadaqa for Allah
for whomever you deem it to be,
necessary, whomever you will for. And so dude
says hold on a second. What what is
this story now?
They say we are merchants who travel by
sea.
And we were on our way from our
last trip and it was successful.
But our sail broke on our ship and
we could not navigate the waters, and we
would got caught in a storm, and we
had no way to escape it, And we
thought we were going to die. So we
asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, we were making
du'a for Allah, if he would save us
from this. We would donate all of the
proceeds
from this venture for his sake. They said
not long after making this du'a, a bird
flew by our boat and dropped some knitting
materials and knitting supplies
that we were able to use to repair
our sail and thus make it to your
land. And here we are fulfilling our oath
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So Dawud looks at the woman.
Yeah? He looks at the woman and he
asked her the same question she asked him.
Is Allah just?
Who is Allah unjust?
Is Allah just or is Allah unjust to
you? You have a Rab who is working
for you on land,
in the air and at sea. So is
Allah just or is Allah unjust?
And He gives all if it's her and
makes her a wealthy woman cause this belongs
to you. Allah
made this plan for you.
You don't need to always understand. Sometimes we
ask, oh Allah why me? Why are you
putting me through such difficulties? Why are these
tests happening?
Because Allah has a plan.
Allah has a reason. Nothing comes into your
life. Nothing happens to you. Unless Allah has
willed it and decreed it. Not a leaf
falls from a tree. Nothing happens within this
universe except it is perfectly in Allah's order,
and the way He has willed it to
be. Our job is simply to trust in
him. Subhanahu
wa
ta'ala. When our Prophet
was surrounded
in his house
in Mecca
by assassins,
his house is surrounded. There's nowhere to go.
They're going to kill him tonight.
Allah orders him to leave.
He doesn't know what's going to happen. He
has no idea what the plan is. But
he knows that Allah has commanded him to
leave,
so he leaves.
He walks out of his door reciting from
the Quran, blows some dust, and nobody even
sees him. Nobody even sees him. They don't
even watch him walk away.
You don't need to know the plan.
After that, he would meet Abu Bakr because
Abu Bakr had stayed behind. You know everybody
else had made hijrah. This is the love
We'll talk about this in our upcoming series
on on the companions promised paradise.
Abu Bakr had such love for the prophet
He waited. He waited and he waited and
he waited. And even the prophet asked him
why are you waiting? And he's, you know,
he said I can't leave without you. He
said just wait. Maybe Allah will give you
a good companion to go with. And so
he waited and he left with Abu Bakr,
and they left at night.
In the morning, the Quraysh find out that
he's gone when they find out that he's
Ali sleeping in his bed. And look at
the plan of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Ali
lays in his bed willingly that night.
Willingly.
Ali
another one of the greatest men who have
ever walked the face of this planet,
lays in his bed that night knowing very
well that there are assassins going to come
in and could possibly kill him. What did
he say about that night? He said I've
never slept so peacefully.
He said, that was the most restful night
of sleep I have ever had in my
life
with assassins surrounding. This is Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala's plan and order.
As they're leaving, the Quraysh find out,
what happens?
They send many people out to find him.
They put a big reward out for him.
A big reward. Everybody's looking all over the
place for our prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam
to bring him back so they can kill
him.
Nobody can find him except for Suraqah ibn
Malik ends up finding him. Suraqah finds him
and sees him ahead of him with Abu
Bakr. Right?
Look at this plan, it's just how it's
unfolding. Surakah is chasing him and the prophet
and Abu Bakr see him. And so,
the prophet
makes dua to Allah to protect them from
Surakah. And what happens? His horse falls and
sinks into the sand and falls.
And then he tells and it's stuck. So
he he tells
you Muhammad You see, they they they knew
who this man was. You Muhammad Meghdadullah won't
chase you no more. So he frees him,
and then he starts chasing him again. This
happens a couple of times. Right? And then
finally the prophet
stops
and he says, Suraqa,
how are you going to be? What is
your condition going to be
when one day when one day you are
given the bracelets of kisra
as bounty from the Muslim community.
Saraka's like,
this guy is being chased as a criminal.
He has no army. He has no help.
He's literally alone with Abu Bakr. And he's
telling me that I'm going to be given
the bracelets of Kisra,
the greatest empire one of the greatest empires
the world has ever known.
He leaves him at that point. He goes
back to the Meccanism but like, just leave
him. He's crazy.
You know, we used to we used to
joke about him being crazy. He's legitimately crazy.
This man says I'm gonna be given the
bracelet of sarahqah. What happens?
At the time of Umar, ibn Khattab
when Khalid ibn Walid,
the drawn sword of
brings down the Persian Empire, the Roman Empire,
and the bounty comes into the Muslim community.
So Raqah had accepted Islam after Fath ul
Makkah. But Umar was going through
the bounty
and he opened a box and he saw
the bracelets that Kisra was famous for wearing
and he remembered the prophecy of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
And he said tell salaqa come here.
This is the honor and dignity that Allah
gives to those who trust him. He said
tell salaqa come here. And he said do
you remember suraqah?
Do you remember
when you were chasing the prophet
and he told you that this would happen
and He Himself put those bracelets on taraka.
This is the plan of Allah sukha. You
don't need to know how it's going to
happen. You just need to know that if
Allah says it will happen, it will happen.
That's all that needs to be known. Our
Prophet
when he escapes rafaa, what happens? The Meccids
find them again
and they run into the cave of Oud.
They run into this little small cave. For
those of you who have been there, you
know it's very small. Very small. And there's
an opening underneath. Like, literally if you look
up under you can see all the people
that are in it. So they hide in
this cave because that's all there is.
And the Meccans start coming closer. And what
does Abu Bakr say to our prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam? He becomes scared. He becomes frightened.
He's human.
He says, O Messenger of Allah, if they
look it down at their feet, they're gonna
see us. They're gonna find us. What does
the Prophet
say to him? Oh Abu
Bakr, what do you think
is going to be the end result of
2 people whom the third is Allah Subhanahu?
What do you think is going to happen
to 2 people whom the third is Allah?
And of course we know the very famous
story that they weren't found. They weren't caught.
Then our prophet
would go on.
Brothers
and sisters,
you don't need to understand what's happening in
the world. I know there's a lot of
time we spend. We try to over
analyze,
you know, we try to hypothesize, we try
to look at the politics, we try to
look at the dynamics, we try to figure
out this is the way it's gonna work.
No. If they do this Look, it does
not matter.
Whatever Allah's plan is
for this world will be. Whatever Allah's plan
for this ummah is, will be. It will
be. We cannot escape it. We cannot escape
it. The qadr of Allah is fixed. The
only thing that can change it, the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said it's du'a. But
did Allah make know you're gonna make that
du'a change? This is the knowledge of Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Everything is already written. You
know that very famous statement you say all
the time, It's
written. It's written. And whatever is written with
Allah is inescapable.
It is inescapable. We don't need to know
the plan,
We just need to trust the planner. Because
the planner is Allah
They plan and Allah plans.
And Allah is the best of those who
plan. Allah is the best of those who
plan. So all we are responsible for is
trusting him. Trusting him. Just trust him. He
knows what he's doing
We just need to stand firm.
Sometimes in our own life,
we do not understand
the way Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is putting
things forward. And I've mentioned this in one
of my khataras, but I wanted to make
sure it was recorded for the for for
the website and for all of you here
today.
We wonder why Allah is putting us through
certain things.
And as human beings, we are obsessed with
the why. One of the very first things
your children will learn how to say, for
those of you who have children, you know
this, one of their first words is almost
always
why.
I don't know why. It's just a fiddler
from children. They learn the word why. They
learn what it means and they use it
frequently.
Every time you tell them to do something.
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
And when you're trying to explain to them
the why. So the human
psychology is that we must
understand the why. It bothers us if we
don't understand the why. When it comes to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
the Waqul
means that you trust
without
knowing the why. You trust it. Even if
you don't understand, even if it doesn't make
sense, even if it can seems completely
backwards, you still go forward and you trust
Allah
Once during the pandemic
right? Because during the pandemic we were asking
a lot of why's. Right? All of us
locked in our house. We there was a
lot of why's going on in my head
during that time.
I was sitting with my daughter
doing a jigsaw puzzle,
And I've used this so much in my
therapy sessions and it's been a a a
tremendous help to a lot of people and
it was helpful to me.
We were doing a jigsaw puzzle. And you
know when you do a jigsaw puzzle, there
are lots of pieces that make sense right
away. Edges, faces, flowers, all these different things.
You know where they go. And then there's
certain pieces, especially if you do the big
jigsaw puzzles like my daughter likes to do.
There's certain pieces that you don't know where
they go. Like a solid piece. There's a
solid colored piece. You have no idea where
it goes. So there were a few of
these pieces when we pulled out when we
pulled them out. And I I was asking
my daughter, like, where do these go? She's
like, I don't know. I was like, okay.
Let's just throw them away then. They don't
have a place. She's like, no. No. Why
would you do that? We're gonna need them
later on. And something clicked in my head
that this is Tuakul. This is your life.
This is your
life. There are certain things that will happen.
And this is the world in general. There
are certain things that will happen
that won't make any sense.
These are those puzzle pieces.
But the reason they don't make any sense
and the reason they don't have a place
is because enough of the puzzle has not
been built yet.
Enough of the puzzle hasn't been built yet.
As you continue to build the puzzle of
your life, as this world's puzzle continues to
be built, there will be pieces that are
missing.
And then you'll find that piece that you
didn't know where it went, it will go
right there where it needed to go. This
is the way it always happens. The way
it always happens.
I
questioned why when I was a child was
I tortured by my stepmother? Like, literally tortured.
She tortured me mentally and physically.
And it it matched the way my brain
works. I am highly prone to anxiety till
this day in times of ease
And I never made sense to me. I
would ask my therapist, why is it that
if I am put in high stress situations
if I'm in a very stressful situation, I'm
usually the coolest one in the room. My
wife says it's very odd about me.
It's that, you know, my daughter fell down
the steps one day and we thought she
broke her back because she was like, oh,
I can't feel my legs, you know. I
can't move because she just, you know, she
had actually, like,
hit something that had caused her to go
numb for a second. And everybody's freaking out.
Right? But except me. I'm not freaking out.
I'm like, let's sit her down. Don't move
her. Let's call. Let's see what you know,
she's like, in those high stress situations,
I'm Uber calm.
But then if I'm sitting on my couch
on a Sunday afternoon watching football or whatnot,
I have panic attacks. Yeah? I don't know
where. Boom. Tachycardia. Heart rate goes to 170.
I feel like doom and gloom. The angel
death's gonna walk in the room. And I'm
like, this makes no sense. At the time
when I'm supposed to be relaxing,
my brain is sending off fight or flight
and dropping, adrenaline and cortisol.
But and I'm in a high stress situation,
I thought it doesn't faze me.
My therapist said it's because you were raised
in a war zone.
You were raised in a war zone. You
were raised with fear.
Your stepmother always taught you to be afraid.
Anytime she would see me smile, she would
beat me or torture me. Any she wanted
to make sure I had no enjoyment
growing up or locked me in my room
for weeks on end. She said, so that
became the normal state of your brain. Your
brain, your hippocampus,
which is the part of your center of
your brain, it doesn't know time and space.
It protects you though. It stores information for
later on. She said your hippocampus doesn't know
that you are no longer in that threatening
situation.
So your normal stasis is that of war.
So therefore, when you're in those high stress
situations, your brain knows how to respond because
that's how it developed.
She said, but your brain does not know
ease, and it has not learned peace.
So when you are at ease and at
peace, that is a warning sign to your
brain because that's when your stepmother used to
abuse.
When you would smile. When you would have
ease. When you have relaxation.
So your hippocampus has stored that and knows
that whenever he's in this situation,
it usually meant danger, danger, danger. So it's
sending off these warning signals to you.
And I'm thinking to myself,
why
would Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put me through
that as a child? Or I'm looking at
the children like when my daughter comes and
ask me about the children of Gaza.
Why are they being tortured like if Allah
is so just, if Allah is so why
why are we going why are they going
through these things?
And so I'm asking why did I go
through this?
And then I started
counseling. I started doing therapy.
Psychology was my secular studies, but I started
using it during the pandemic because I realized
there was a huge need in the Muslim
community for mental health services.
And between
20 January 2021
till today, I've seen nearly 4,000
Muslims.
Nearly 4,000 Muslims who have gone through so
many traumatic things.
And
I've not had one bad review yet and
almost 90% of my clients have been repeat
clients.
And
that is that missing piece of the puzzle
is that I went through so much as
a child. I went through so much. I
went through prison, all these other things so
that now when I talk to people, I
understand. I can empathize. I can relate. People
have been through trauma. People have been through
abuse. People I watched my mother, if you
didn't watch my domestic violence tapes, go watch
them. I watched my mother get abused, when
I did finally make another relationship with her
literally beaten to the hospital time after time
after time. So when I talk to people
who've been through these situations,
I not only now know how to help
them but I can relate to them. I
can relate to them. The plan of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is perfect.
It is perfect.
You just need to let the puzzle continue
to be built. And then all of the
pieces that are missing will find their place.
Allah's plan is perfect because it is by
Him. It is by Him
So when I tell you to trust in
Allah, when Allah says, ta waqu'al Allah, have
trust in Allah, then that means we do
it abandoningly.
We don't need to know what the outcome
will be. We don't need to know how
it's going to happen. We don't need to
know when or where or any of that.
We just need to know that it will
happen by the will of Allah
And I know that the promise the last
two I will finish, the promise of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is that this
ummah will be victorious
and the promise of Allah in the Quran
that the believers will be successful. That's all
I need to know. That's all I need
to know. So now my job is just
to stay upon that, stay a part of
this ummah, stay a believer and the success
will come insha'allah.
However it's meant to happen, Allah knows best.
protect us all.
protect us all.
