Hello hello Armando Rahim. hamdulillah Hello Billa Alameen

Hovi will do anyone up assuming I'm worthy will unfussy what
Thammarat or macheda saw bidding or kala Diala. In my yo facade
balloon, Euro homebuilder ad is
called a da la Waldman sobre La Falda in the Kelemen has mellow
mood
well I have to feel angry with somebody Woba in the family he
cathedral to model for
this is a third chapter of the book criado Salah hain. The first
one was about the Palazzo Nia sincerity and purity of the
intention. And the second chapter was about the Toba under Which
Imam and Navi rahamallah, the author of the book he has quoted a
number of ayat from the Quran as well as the Hadees and some very
inspirational stories from the Sierra of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam and the stories of the companions with one Allahu
Allah image of mine. And now move on to the third chapter, which is
the chapter of sober, sober, which is usually translated as patience,
but this is not an accurate translation or the meaning of the
word sober, because the word sober in Arabic language actually means
to deter, to prevent.
And it is actually divided into three categories. So there are
three types of suburbs. The first one is a suburb of Isla Attila,
that you keep yourself firm and steadfast on obedience to Allah
azza wa jal and we cram this is a subject this is the first category
or first type of subject, that you keep yourself firm and steadfast
on the obedience of Allah regeneratively kromm And the
second one is a sub rule and mahadi Milla Sobral and having
patience and to deter from the Haram from whatever Allah and His
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have prohibited and the
third 1/3 type of sublet is a sublet or Isla, Kedah dilla that
you have patience on the decree of Allah, whatever Allah subhanahu wa
taala has written for you, whatever Allah subhanahu wa taala
has decreed for you you accept it, and you have patience on it, and
you do not move against it. So these are the three different
types of suburbs. The first one is a suburb of alotta Atilla. All
three types of southern are required from a believer. All
three types are required from a believer. A believer must be firm
and steadfast on the obedience to Allah who will challenge every
crumb, and he must continue throughout his life. To stay the
obedient servant to Allah Who will generally crime he must be
obedient to Allah azza wa jal, Allah Quran and he must be
obedient to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam throughout his
life. So, and to be firm and steadfast this is something that
is not easy. Many people they lose the track after and recently we
have gone through the month of Ramadan. How many people were
there during the month of Ramadan for daily prayers as well as for
Dharavi. But many of them we do not see them until next Ramadan.
So it means that they are not firm they are not steadfast on the
obedience to Allah Who will generally crop whereas the month
of Ramadan itself is the month of Sabra. The month itself teaches us
the lesson of sober if you cannot learn your lesson from the month
of Ramadan and you cannot stay firm and steadfast until the next
Ramadan then it means you have not truly benefited from the month of
Ramadan. So a sobre ala Atilla being firm and steadfast on the
obedience of Allah who Jalla you Quran this is required. And one of
the explicit example of this or you can say one of the
most
clear example of this is the five daily prayers. Establishing five
daily prayer is not easy. It is difficult
Practically it is difficult as Allah subhanho wa Taala himself
has said in the Quran when Allah Kabira tune in idle ha Shireen
rarely the Salah the spray is heavy, except on those who have
the who shoot. Those who have the fear of Allah subhanahu wa taala
within their hearts Alladhina yoga known under Humala, Cora behavoir,
unknown la Hey Roger on those who believe. And they firmly believe
that they are going to meet with the Lord one day and they are
going to return to him the Jalla LiveLeak rom unless you have this
fear within your heart, and you are conscious of Allah subhanahu
wa taala all the time, every single day, and you keep reminding
yourself, that you will be held to an account before Allah will
challenge you Crom unless you do this on a regular basis, and you
are firm and steadfast, you cannot establish your five daily prayer.
And this is the reason that we find many people that they repent,
they come to the part of guidance and they start praying the five
daily prayers for few weeks or even months and then they lose the
track and then they abandoned the prayer completely. Or some do pray
but they cannot pray all five daily prayers. Some people say we
can pray I pray four times a day but for Fudger it is very
difficult I can't wake up. So it is probably sufficient for me to
pray only for only for prayers and to miss father, which is wrong.
Being firm and steadfast means that you continue obeying Allah
subhanahu wa taala every single moment, every single day, every
single night throughout your life. And this is something that is not
easy.
But if you try your best, as you will study in a hadith that is
quoted under this chapter Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
say well mania does sub bar u sub beer hula Omega sup buddy you suck
beer hula. Whoever tries to have patience and have sunburn. On the
obedience of Allah goo Jai Karim Allah subhanahu wa taala does give
him toffee. But you yourself you need to make efforts. If you do
not make efforts and obviously making effort requires sacrifice,
you must sacrifice your comfort. You must sacrifice your time. You
must sacrifice other things. And you must prioritize the pray and
the obedience of Allah who will generally crown if you try if you
initiate from your side and Allah subhanahu wa taala will help you
Romania to Sabah use of beer hula and whoever does not try. Then
Allah subhanahu wa taala does not give him tofield that is why it is
wrong to say if you are advised to do a good deed and you say please
ask, please ask Allah subhanahu wa taala please make dua for me ask
Allah that Allah gives me autofeed this will be wrong.
You need to make your efforts in first place. And then yes,
definitely, you do need the assistance of Allah subhanahu wa
taala then you can
then you can ask ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala you should ask ALLAH SubhanA
wa Taala that Allah will generally Quran makes things easy for you,
but you need to make efforts in first place. Without making
efforts you say please make dua for me that Allah give me to have
it. If someone advises you, please come and learn how to read Quran
you say, please make dua for me that Allah gives. You need to make
efforts, sacrifice your time, spare some time, couple of minutes
every single day, make some efforts, spare some time. And then
you make dua to Allah subhanahu wa, but making no effort and
saying please make dua for me. This is wrong.
That is why a Cebu Allah Allah this is the first category of sub.
Having patience and obedience for Allah will generally Quran. You
may feel that performing five daily prayers is something that is
boring.
Five times every single day, every single record you read the same
Surah Surah Al Fatiha each time you bow down you say subhanallah
Brd each time you prostate and you go into sudo you say subhanallah
Bill either each time you sit in the Salah is here to dinner, you
may find it boring, but this is actually the suburb
you continue doing it although there are other means to have the
taste of the Salah and you must try your best to have cusu in your
Salah because the Salah is something that should change our
lives and should change our lifestyle, our daily routine, our
attitude towards
Allah subhanho wa Taala as well as our attitude towards the creation
of Allah. As Allah has confirmed the Quran in the Salah. Tatianna
Halal fungi will Monica. But even if you do not find any clear
benefit or impact or effect of the prayer in your daily prayers in
your life sorry, then still you have to continue praying. You have
to offer your Salah you cannot say and I have prayed for a couple of
weeks, but I did not find any benefit in and this unfortunately
this is one of the tricks of shape on the shaytaan plays with some
people.
If you're trapped in a difficulty and hardship and you are afflicted
by a calamity, you come back to Allah subhanahu wa taala you offer
Salah and actually such people they pray in order to test to test
Allah Allah Allah, Allah mentally to test if Allah helps them. And
if if they do not find help from Allah subhanho wa Taala for few
days a week they abandoned the salah.
Saying that I have been praying. I have prayed for many months and
even years, but I never found any benefit in Salah Neruda. bIllahi
min die.
If you are afflicted by a calamity, then you must pray. No
matter what the situation is. And what are your circumstances you
must continue performing your five daily prayers, a sobro Allah
Artina having patience on the obedience of Allah the channel you
Crom continue obeying Allah subhanho wa Taala because your
duty as a slave of Allah is to worship Him will generally crown
by worshiping Allah you are not doing any favor to Allah. by
worshiping Allah subhanho wa Taala you are fulfilling the your, your
core duty of being the slave of Allah.
And because this is what Allah has created you for Omar falafel
Jinnah, well inside Laniado a sobro Allah Allah, regardless of
your situation, regardless of your circumstances, regardless of your
problems, you have to continue praying. You have to stay obedient
to Allah Dolcetto Sabra Sabra, Sabra patience. And this is in
reality, this is the most difficult type of server. This is
the most difficult type of server
to be firm and steadfast on the obedience of Allah.
And the second type of server, which is also difficult, but it's
probably less than the first category. And the second one is a
Savile Row unmask Milan mahadi. Mila, having patience and to deter
and prevent yourself and to refrain and abstain from haram.
Anything and everything that is prohibited by Allah and His
Messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam, you stay away, this is sub. This
is also not easy. Is it difficult for some people it is the other
way around. For some people, the first category is probably easier
than the second and they are example amongst amongst ourselves.
Some of us we find praying five daily prayers offering five daily
prayers easy, but to stay away from lying,
but to refrain from cheating
and to stay away from backbiting and even owning haram consuming
haram speaking haram watching haram listening haram
there are people who are regular in five daily prayers.
But when it comes to the earning, they do not really bother. They do
not take any care.
They believe that their five day prayer is sufficient This is the
whole religion they have established their religion.
That is why Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam has said in a hadith that
is reported by Sayana Abu Huraira the Allahu Taala and who he Salah
salem said kill Mahatma Tokunaga the nurse, stay away from haram.
And the end result of this, you will become the best worshipper of
Allah will Jerrica
so in that particular Hadith Rasulullah Salam did not say if
you offer these many no orphan every day or if you read these
many czar of the Quran or if these many Surah of the Quran or if you
observe these many fasts or you or you perform these manual O'Meara
or Hajj No no, no he did not say he simply said it tackle Muharram
stay away from haram, the Kannada Donnas.
Just by staying away from haram, you will become the best
worshipper amongst the creation of Allah azza wa jal Arikara. So for
some people, the second category of stubborn is more difficult than
the first one.
And then the third one, the third category is a Savile Row Allah aka
Dobrila. Having patience on the decree of Allah. We as a believer
when we say I'm a believer, we are believers, we are more men.
We actually confirm and affirm that we believe in six articles of
faith and belief. We believe in Allah. Amen to Billa wamalwa ekati
worku to be Waru SULI Well, yo mil are here, while Kadri hierdie He
washery. When you say that you are a believer, it means that you have
declared that you believed in Allah you believed in the angels
you believed in the divine books of Allah subhanahu wa taala you
believed in the prophets of Allah azza wa jal, you kromm And you
believe in the last day, as well as you believe in the decree of
Allah, predestination of Allah, the Destiny whatever Allah has
written for you, although you do not have the knowledge of this.
And that is why Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam when he
explained the six articles of Iman and believe he SallAllahu sallam
said, I'll Kadri hiree washery it is part of your iman, that you
believe in the decree of Allah hiree washery it's good and evil,
in its good and evil, meaning, the decree of whatever Allah has
decreed for you.
It is going to happen, you cannot avoid it. Because Allah subhanahu
wa taala is your Creator. Allah is the most knowledgeable Allah is
the One who has the knowledge of everything.
He is the one who has, he is the one who has written the decree for
you, it is going to happen whether you like it or you do not like it,
whether it is beneficial for you or it is harmful for you, you have
to accept it, while Kadri hiree He wishes
and that is why the Scholars have said when it comes to the
difficulties and hardships, people are divided into four categories.
People are divided into four categories. The first type of
people are those who do not accept the decree of Allah subhanho wa
Taala at all.
Rather, they moan they complain and they start even blaming Allah
Who challah lukewarm Neruda. bIllahi min daddy, and this is the
most dangerous part.
If you start thinking this way, this will eventually lead you to
disbelief. And this unfortunately is something that many of our
youth are struggling with nowadays, and this is one of the
biggest traps of atheism. Then they they whispering in your mind
these type of doubts that Allah subhanahu wa taala has decreed for
you. If Allah is R Rahman r Rahim Allah is the Most Merciful
merciful, then look what is going on what is going on around the
world and what is going on, against the Muslim depression that
the Muslims are suffering from throughout the world, if Allah is
the most merciful, if Islam is the only religion in the sight of
Allah, then why Muslims are suffering. So these type of
whispers shape on whisper in your mind
and you do not accept the decree of Allah. Rather, you start
complaining and you blaming Allah who will generally kromm To the
extent now to be less and people say it is not fair. How can you
say that Allah is just Where is the justice here? We have seen
people dying in Eritrea and in Syria, in Yemen, in Iraq and
Palestine, Kashmir, this and that, this is happening people are
dying, human beings are dying out of hunger. Where is the Mercy of
Allah these type of thing people do say
the well on the non Muslim odour.
By these these statements are uttered by those who claim to be
Muslims.
And this is actually this is the beginning of this problem. When
you start blaming Allah and you do not accept the decree of Allah
will Jericho.
You must bear in mind that Allah is the One Who has created you.
Without anything. You did not do any favor to a
Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah is the One Who has created you. Allah
is the One who has blessed you with so many blessings, every
single, every single breath that you take in this life, it is with
the permission and the will of Allah subhanho wa taala.
If Allah subhanho wa Taala wants, he can take away your soul right
now. But Allah who will tell Ali Khan himself is
an Haleem.
He is the one who pays.
He's the one who bears even the swearing and the bad statement and
the bad utterance of His creation.
So Allah subhanahu wa taala is the one who has created you. He is the
one who knows you better than you know yourself.
Unless you believe in this,
you won't be able to believe in the decree of Allah.
So this is the first category of people those who are not happy
with the decree of Allah will chylomicron whatever Allah has
decreed for them,
they do not accept.
And if you ever come across these type of people, you will you will
feel you will find the such people even turn all the positives to
negative as well.
It is not that they do not accept the degree of Allah when it is not
in their favor on their benefit. Even if it is in their benefit,
they do not accept it. The end up this believing in Allah so Allah
subhanho wa taala. And remember, these six articles of iman are all
together. You cannot miss any one of them. If you say I believe in
Allah, I believe in the angels I believe in the divine books. I
believe in the prophets, I believe in the last day, but I do not
really believe in the decree it means you are disbeliever
you are two fold of Islam.
You cannot pick and choose, you have to believe in all of them. So
you must accept the decree of Allah subhanho wa taala. So this
is the first category of people those who are not happy with the
decree of Allah Bucha diagram. The second category of people are
those who have patience, those who have patience on the decree of
Allah subhanho wa taala. What do we mean by patients on the decree
of Allah, meaning that they do not complain? They do not say anything
bad about the decree of Allah subhanho wa taala.
But it does not mean that they have accepted wholeheartedly the
decree of Allah and this is something that is bare minimum
requirement from a Muslim, a soveral Allah Akbar Allah, you
must be patience, except whether you accept wholeheartedly, or at
least you do not blame Allah subhanahu wa taala the decree of
Allah you do not complain against.
For example, if you fall ill you never say that Allah subhanho wa
Taala is the one who is not just to me, rather stay quiet.
So, this is bare minimum requirement from a Muslim sobre la
parte de la sobre, la caja de la and then the third category is
higher and if you have Darwen, if you have the third one, then it is
even better.
And if you if you if you achieve that level, you will be closer to
Allah subhanahu wa and that is a real bar.
Acceptance, whatever Allah has decreed for you, you
wholeheartedly you accept.
And this is the level about which Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
iBaby mount Kasam Allah who lacked the Quran oven and nurse
iBaby Maka, Sam Allah hulak The Quran oven a nurse be content and
happy and satisfied with that what Allah subhanahu wa taala has
written for you. If you have that level of acceptance, then the Khun
oven and Nars, this a listen this is the statement of our beloved
Nabi SallAllahu Sallam he said the Quran oven and nurse you will
become the richest amongst the people. And of Allah he this is
the reality. This is the reality. And people who do achieve this
level. They feel themselves the most rich, the most wealthy
amongst the whole society.
I just remembered a story of
just a minute with Amy and Rahim Allah. May Allah subhanho wa Taala
have mercy on him
once
the king,
the king of Saudi Arabia, the one who is the king now, Solomon
obviously it is a you know, the story took place many, many years
ago, where it was during the time of probably King
Solomon, he went to visit chef habanero thymine Rama, hola.
And he visited him in his house. And house was just basic one. It
wasn't a villa or luxury house. It was basic. So he spent
some time with him. And then he said, Oh, Chef, we would like to
offer you a small plot of land, where you can build your house.
Chicken with me, like my whole life said, No, Alhamdulillah I'm
happy, I'm happy within this house. I do not want anything. He
said no chef. People come to you, student of knowledge are always
around you. And they come and if you have big house, you know, big
luxury house, you can accommodate more students knowledge, you can
benefit more people. So this way, he tried to convince him share for
him a holla. He continued to say, no, no, Al Hamdulillah. I'm happy
with it. And when Malik Selma when he insisted, eventually sharing
with me rahamallah He said, Listen, I already have a house
that I'm working on its construction.
And at that point, he kept quiet said okay, if this is the case,
then okay, I do not insist anymore. Then he left within that
gathering, was some of the closer students of Chevron knew they mean
rahamallah And even some of his children.
They said, oh, dear father and shave. We never knew that you are
constructing a new house?
He said yes, I'm I am.
Said way, way, way is the house, he said is not far from here. And
he pointed, pointed towards,
towards what cemetery
towards cemetery that was close to his house. He says, I have a house
there. And I'm working towards it. And I'm working, I'm working on
the construction of the house, because that is going to be the
final house. And this is the house for which I'm working and I'm
trying to construct.
So he was so happy and content.
And this is actually what happens. If you want to understand the
Hadees read these types of Listen, these types of stories. People are
happy, although they have little wealth of dystonia, they are
happy.
But unfortunately on the other hand, you find people having
luxury houses, villas, wealth, bank balance business, they are
million, they are millionaire or even billionaires, but they do not
find any happiness in their life. Wallahi
I have mentioned many times in my Druze here, I know one individual
from this city,
who is a millionaire. And Wallah, he whenever I meet him, he says, I
do not have any peace in my life.
He's a millionaire. He has 1000s of employees
1000s of people who are employed by him, but he he is not happy.
The wealth of dystonia is not something that can bring you
happiness. It is only your iman and belief in Allah subhanho wa
Taala and Faber
a Sobral Allah Akbar Allah, have patience, on the decree of Allah,
whatever Allah has decreed for you. If Allah subhanahu wa taala
grants you 100 pound you say Alhamdulillah 100 times. If Allah
subhanahu wa taala gives you one pound, you still say Alhamdulillah
100 times.
That is why one of the outstanding characteristics of the 13 those
who have the Taqwa of Allah subhanahu wa taala. Allah
mentioned in the Quran in surah, Allah and Allah Allah Dena Yun
Futuna fists are rah rah rah.
In these, this particular passage of surah Allah Imran Allah
subhanahu wa taala has made the mention of certain characteristics
of the believers. And this is the very first characteristic that
Allah has mentioned in this passage. Alladhina Yun Mucuna
fissara You will borrow those who are spending the way of Allah
subhanahu wa taala in times of prosper
clarity as well as in times of hardships and difficulties.
Who among says, amongst us has achieved this level, that if you
are, if you are in the state of prosperity, you give 100 in the
way of Allah and even when you are financially struggling, you still
give 100 in the way of Allah subhanahu wa. This is the level of
iman that Allah subhanho wa Taala loves. That is why within this
passage, Allah subhanaw taala said, Allah who you have boom of
sin in Allah subhanahu wa taala himself, he loves such people.
Those who achieved this level, those who achieved this level,
Allah loves them. So this is the third category of people when it
comes to the difficulties and hardships and calamities. The
first one is the category of those who are not happy with the decree
of Allah. The second one is a category of those who have
patience, meaning they do not complain, and they do not
wholeheartedly accept
and this is the minimum requirement, but the upper, the
higher level than this is a reward, the contentment and
satisfaction and happiness and the fourth level which is even higher.
So how Anala and that level is very difficult to achieve. And
that is the level that even when you are afflicted by so many
calamities, you still think Allah subhanho wa Taala and this was the
level that our NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam achieved and his
companions also achieved and many pious people they do achieve, but
you have to work hard towards this level.
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, if you ever
if you ever look at the seed of Rasulullah Salah Salem
I can challenge that none of us who Allah He ever faced the
difficulties that our NABI sallallahu alayhi salam faced in
his life.
If you quickly go through the seed of Rasulullah Sawsan he was born
as a orphan as an orphan. At the age of six, he lost his mother. At
the age of eight, he lost eight or nine he lost his grandfather who
was his guardian. And then he has no brother, no sister, no mother,
no father, on his own. His uncle Abu Talib looked after him. For
next around 30 years, he was given prophethood by Allah subhanho wa
taala. And now new lifestyles and new challenges those people, the
people of Makkah, those who loved him, because of his
truthfulness because of his good character, good laugh, the very
people they turned enemy to him,
to the extent that they expelled him and they forced him to leave
his homeland, the homeland that is the most blessitt piece of land on
this earth but Carl Makarova, he sought asylum left his homeland,
left everything behind, went to Madina Munawwara settle Madina
Munawwara he sallallahu alayhi salam even before that he lost his
wife Khadija or the Allahu Taala on her. And then he saw cinema
lived in Madina Munawwara more challenges, more challenges. In
McHale makan Rama they were only one type of enemies the people of
Makkah. When he arrived in Medina, the munaf, upon the hypocrisy of
Medina, they were his enemies, the Jews of Medina, they were his
enemies, the people of Makkah, they were his enemies, the people
all around Arabia, they were his enemies. They were always
continuously planning to attack Medina and to take away his soul
and to kill him and to murder him.
And he Salah Salem, he lost his first daughter, the second
daughter, his son, and he had no son to survive after him Salah
Allahu Allah, he was sent them and he continued through all these
difficulties, all these difficulties,
hardship after hardship, calamity after clarity, difficulty upon
difficulty, yet he Salah Salem has spent all night standing before
Allah subhanho wa Taala to the extent that our mother I shall
have the Allahu Taala and observes the swelling on his blessing feet,
and she asked him Salah Salem
Almost a year of Allah, Allah has forgiven all of your previous
sins. So why do you need to exert yourself into the CRM to that
level? What was the answer? He saw Salah salem said a fella Hakuna
Abdon shockula Shall I not be a Tankful slave of Allah will
generic Allah Subhana Allah, this is the highest level of sub,
highest level of sub.
And this is the level upon about Which Imam mukaiyama Rahim Allah
has said, when you achieved this level,
no matter how big and great the calamity is, you actually enjoy
the calamity. You enjoy the calamity. Because you take that
calamity wholeheartedly, and you take that calamity as an
opportunity to get closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala you make more
dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala by making more dua you get closer to
Allah subhanahu wa taala. And these type of calamities actually
require you to ponder and reflect on your own deeds. And this is
these type of calamities our mercy from Allah Subhana Allah Allah
because Allah subhanahu wa taala wants you to purify Allah
subhanahu wa taala wants to purify you in this dunya before the
Hereafter. And through these calamities Allah subhanahu wa
taala wants to wipe out all of your sins before the Day of
Judgment.
May Allah subhanahu wa taala give us all faith and ability to have
all these types of sober, sober on the obedience of Allah subhanahu
wa taala sober from staying away and abstaining from committing
sins and as well as sober on the calamities and hardships and
difficulties. And may Allah subhanahu wa taala make us amongst
those who accept the color and the decree of Allah subhanho wa Taala
whole heartedly and may Allah subhanahu wa taala give us your
feet and ability to be thankful to him Subhanahu wa Taala all the
time in times of prosperity in times of ease as well as in times
of difficulties and hardship. May Allah subhanahu wa taala give us
the faith and ability in the Houstonian Caribbean Najib Subhana
