I would just like to finish off by
mentioning a saying of Umar about difficulties that
happen to a person and how he used
to deal with them.
Umar said that whenever I
was afflicted with any type of problem, I
found in it three blessings.
There are three blessings that I found in
each and every problem that I came across.
What were they?
The first blessing was that that affliction didn't
take place in my religion.
So what he's saying is that okay, if
I lose something worldly, that's fine.
If I lose a camel or a horse
or a house or I lose a relative
even, at least I didn't find any kind
of deficiency in my deen.
So yes, I don't want any kind of
difficulty or any kind of deficiency to come
in my religion.
So that's the first blessing he says.
The second thing, that I thank Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala that that difficulty or that
problem wasn't greater than it was.
So I got sick, well, I got sick
but with a flu or I was bedridden
for a week.
Or what about the person who is bedridden
for the rest of his life?
What about the person who has cancer?
What about the person who is in a
vegetative state, in a coma?
My flu is nothing in comparison to those
people.
So I should be grateful that the difficulty
that I went through, it wasn't greater than
it actually was.
And the third thing, The third blessing, when
I come across any kind of difficulty, I
believe sincerely and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
has promised that if I am patient that
He will give me a huge reward for
it.
A huge reward for being patient as Allah
says in the Quran, Give glad tidings to
the people who have sabr, who are patient.
That whenever any affliction comes to them, any
kind of problem comes to them, they say
that we belong to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala and to Him we return.
Allah says, These people get salutations and blessings
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and mercy
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and these
are the ones that are guided.
So this is basically reflecting upon the promise
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that if
you are patient in adversity, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is going to reward you for
that.
So Umar ibn Allah said, these are the
three blessings that I come across each time
I'm afflicted with any kind of problem or
any kind of hardship.
So that's the kind of attitude that we
should have when we come across difficulties and
hardships.
And when we have that, we will realize
actually that our life will become much easier.
We'll never become depressed.
We'll never lose sleep at night.
Leave it all to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
It is known as, to be pleased with
what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has ordained
for you.
This is what is meant by this.
So this is the summary of the few
ayahs that we read today.
I pray that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
gives us a salty Protestant and practice what
has been said and done.
Al
Fatiha.
