[Music] in this world you will never truly be happy no matter what Allah subh gives you you will never truly be content this place is designed to break your heart it was designed that way if you're looking to be happy in the Dunya you're in the wrong place how could you feel worthless my dear brothers how could you feel worthless my dear sisters you're not the servant of Alat or alza or Isa or Krishna or Ganesh you're not the servant of fashion or money or fame or beauty or power or position you are the slave
of Allah Allah has chosen you from amongst the billions of human beings Allah chose you and blessed you with [Music] Islam pain and suffering only becomes negative If it creates a barrier between you and Allah subhana wa ta'ala but it becomes positive pain becomes positive a motivation for you when it brings you back to Allah subhana wa tala oh my slave come back to your Lord oh my slave this is a reminder for you that I want to bring you back to me on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve don't get stressed
out Muslims over things that haven't happened yet that's fear and don't get stressed out over things things that's already happened everything has been decreed the most difficult pill for the Muslims to swallow is article number six of our Dean the of Allah we don't want to admit it we forget about the power of Allah we forget about the presence of Allah we forget that we came from a clot and we were nothing Muhammad IB Abdullah s. wasam had to correct everything because we weren't doing anything right and we get so afraid because we forget we
fear and we forget that Allah is in control surely we shall test each and every single one of you with a loss of wealth with a loss of life with a loss of profit and trade so give Glad Tidings to those who are patient those when they are tested they say to Allah We Belong long and to him we shall return upon those people are the blessings and prayers of Allah subhana wa ta'ala and indeed those are the ones who are truly guided so if you have Allah you have everything you desire if you don't
have Allah nothing you desire will make you happy nothing it'll all in the end bring you misery W and that's the truth it's not a lie [Music] my dear brothers and sisters I would like to dedicate this talk to every individual who was abandoned by their father who has Loved Someone in this world yet for one reason or another was left abandoned who has lost someone to death and they couldn't figure out why there are people across this world who are living in pain and Agony different types of pain different types of Agony but it
always comes down to the same conclusion that Shan somehow or another finds a way to get the better of them and derails them from the path to Allah subhana wa taala and this lecture is dedicated to all of those individuals we all have problems in our life brothers and sisters I mean that's the reality life is a test we are going to be tested indeed Allah T says do you think that you will be left alone saying you believe without being tested like those who came before you were tested and even the prophets and those
who were with them said when will the help of Allah come when will the help of Allah come and then Allah says the meaning of which is verily the help of Allah is always there Subhan Allah so yes we will be tested there will be hardship there will be difficulties and that is the reality of life and then you have to realize everything that's happening is from Allah you know you don't get depressed if you forget about Allah you end up getting depressed you think things are black and they're gloomy and do no we don't
believe this we believe in Happy Endings no matter how Bleak it looks out there it's dun you're in the lowest dun means the lowest place a Dun we're on the bottom there's only up from here really there's only up this place W all of you I'll give you sincere advice and myself this place is designed to break your heart it was designed that way if you're looking to be happy in the D you're in the wrong place trials and tests from Allah subhana wa ta'ala are not just the calamities that strike Us in terms of
death in terms of loss of wealth but they're also blessings that Allah subhana wa ta'ala gives us that we don't thank Allah subhana wa taala for and we don't use them in their appropriate means if you are not being tested by Allah subhana wa ta'ala if you do not see that test then now is the time to realize that you're either being tested Ted by pain or you're being tested by Pleasure they both need the exact same result you turn back to Allah subhana wa ta'ala the one who is being tested by pain he seeks
Allah subhana wa tala's help and finds a recourse out the one who is being tested by Pleasure he thanks Allah subhana wa taala for those blessings and he uses those blessings to get closer to Allah subhah wa ta'ala [Music] how many wealthy people do you know that have a lot of wealth who have children that are in Tribulation who have sons that are completely Wayward or really look out there people are in Tribulation you think you're looking at him because he has a big house he has nice Mercedes if you were in his shoes you
might say I want to be back in my old shoes even though they have holes in them cuz at least I can sleep at night in his shoes I have to take all these pills to go to sleep when it come to tests and trials from Allah subhana wa taala you have one of two choices you can either deal with the pain right now and get closer to Allah subhana wa ta'ala or you can delay dealing with the pain seeking the pity of others seeking help from others and prolonging the pain without any recourse and
it's very important to understand the cycles that individuals go through when they go through pain when they lose someone that they love when they feel betrayed by by an other individual the very first reaction they have is to isolate themselves they want to be alone now this is more significant when it comes to men because men naturally like to deal with their own pain they don't like to speak about it women naturally like to speak about their pain and suffering and that's why their first reaction is going on the phone going to see their mothers
going to see their friends however when it comes to True pain at one time or another you will try to isolate yourself and this is the first thing you need to recognize that this is not what you want to do this is not a natural reaction but rather it is Shan telling you that you will feel better when you're alone because you're the only one that understands what you're going through it is a deception from Shan so while you may need to be alone for a little while prolonged isolation is very harmful and detrimental to
your situation what you want to do at that time is that short period of time once you've gotten over that initial rage that initial pain then after that you need to get around the Believers you need to get around people who are going to remind you of Allah subhana wa ta'ala even in s. wasam and he is the prophet and the messenger of Allah he went through stressful moments what was the solution that Allah gave his beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallah alai wasallam did Allah subhah wa ta'ala say to him oh Muhammad G see psychologists and
counselors so he could relief your stress go on anti-depression tablets get a high dosage of that because this is what happens these days not that I'm against it saying it's right or wrong that's not my topic but I'm saying that the best relief and the best cure and the best medicine for depression and stress is the one that Allah gave Muhammad s. wasam and gave to the entire um so Allah gives him the key and he [Music] says this is the cure this is the medicine remember Allah and glorify him prostrate to Allah and pray
to him continue worshiping the Lord until you meet your last moment in life and this is what every individual who's going through pain and suffering needs to realize that this point of pain and suffering is not that Allah subhana wa tala wants to punish you but rather this is a calling from Allah subhana wa ta'ala oh my slave come back to your Lord oh my slave this is a reminder for you that I want to bring you back to me and this is one of the wisdoms of trials and tribulations that while we call each
other on the phone while we text message each other the calling of Allah subhah wa ta'ala comes through trials and tribulations and you can react one of two ways either you can deal with the pain at that moment and decide to get closer to Allah subhana wa tala or you can decide to just restrict that pain to yourself not do anything about it and then you'll see what it does to your dean and this is the last stage of the cycle of isolation that once you're isolated you will see that eventually your Dean starts to
disappear the content of your Salah the in your Salah it disappears your ability to recite the Quran is no longer there your ability to fast during the day it gets taken away what did you do differently what you did differently was you gave yourself into Shan and Shan's promise is that he will lead you astray he will lead you away from the path of Allah subhana wa ta'ala so in times of trials and tribulation you need to seek out the Believers you need to seek out the righteous and let them be your guide and help
to Allah subhana wa ta'ala everybody has their tribulations and it's very rare people that have Happy Time Wonderful Life life all that those people are rare butb Abbas said the foundation of dya is tribulation the best worship is waiting for the ease from Allah to come when you're in hardship so if Muslim would just have that perspective they would realize that if I'm just patient here with all these tribulations I'm in you could just be sitting in your house and if you're mive with Allah you're in but if you're there complaining and woe is me
and everything's horrible and it's Doom and Gloom and it's all black and it's all dark Allah will give you more things to complain about and he'll give you some real things to complain about because there's a Hadith if you complain about small calamities Allah gives you great calamities trials and tribulations are a means of purification there are a means of purifying you so you can go to the purest of places the punishment of is not out of anger and wrath the punishment of Allah is a means of cleansing you of your sins the punishment of
Allah is a preparation that you can go into noblest and purest of [Music] places and this is why Allah subhana tala sends trials and tribulations and that's why said that in every there are three in every Tri ation there are three blessings and the first one is that it could be worse than it is that it's in your worldly matters and not in your Dean like if you lose money is money but if you lose Dean you lost everything so that's a if it's I mean if you think about he didn't say do you see
the Dua he didn't say Allah don't give us any calamities he said let don't give us tribulation in our Dean we're going to get tribulation and we know that because that's the nature of dun so you're going to get tribulation but don't make it in Dean make it in D so that's a you lost your job alhamdulillah I didn't miss my prayers alhamdulillah I I didn't lose my IM alhamdulillah there's W and a place to pray cuz jobs come and go but Dean once it's gone Allah if you'll ever get it back and then the
final one it's in this world it's as long as the is in this world it's a because the real is the MBA in the next World so if you look at that and realize we're in blessing W the whole lot of us some may be more than others outwardly more observable but the whole um is in blessing wah Palestine Kashmir Shan everywhere we're in and you have to see it you have to see it because we have you know the people of kufar they have no Lord we have Allah subhana wa tala and as long
as you have Allah they can't take anything away from you everything you desire exists with Allah subhah wa tala so if you have Allah you have everything you desire if you don't have Allah nothing you desire will make you happy nothing it'll all in the end bring you misery and that's the truth it's not a lie in this world you will never truly be happy no matter what Allah subhana wa ta'ala gives you you will never truly be content you can have the most amount of money in the world you can have the biggest house
you can have the most beautiful spouse you can have everything that you desire and you'll never be happy true contentment and satisfaction comes in the alone it comes when we are in Paradise all of this is about perspective and how you deal with the situation and that is why it is very important that an individual who goes through trial he changes his perspective of the trial it's not a punishment from Allah it's a means to get closer it is not a punishment from Allah it's a calling from Allah that he wants you to come back
to him Allah sub wa ta'ala he does not burden a soul more than it can bear a lot of the times when we go through trials and tribulations it feels that this trial is so great that there's no one being persecuted more than us at that given moment but the reality of the situation is that is not the case there's always someone who is in a worse predicament than you now the situation is already as difficult as it is you're going through a trial why make it worse by not being patient because you're only incurring
the wrath of Allah and an individual who's patient and remembers Allah subhah wa ta'ala they get the remembrance of Allah subhana wa taala upon them they get the of Allah subhana wa tala upon them and Allah subhana wa tala ends off the verse by [Music] saying that they are the ones who are truly guide when you are stressed remember Allah when you are depressed pray to Allah and ask Allah to relieve your stress when you are so worried during your moment of stress say Subhan Allah Subhan Allah why is it when someone gets angry they
will utter with every single word that comes across their mind except saying Subhan Allah you know why because the moment they say Subhan Allah they will calm down Subhan Allah Subhan Allah the close servants to Allah there is no fear on them and there is no sadness for them what's the point of having all the money of this dun and the luxury of this world and the comfort of this world and the strength and the power and the influ and the influence that anyone that can obtain in this world and Allah is not happy from
you what's the point of it what's the point of course you said of course you said you are sad because Allah is not happy from you please Allah Allah who make you happy but you want to commit the sins during that they are not and you want to be happy and Allah is Happy from you that's impossible you want to disobey Allah and you want Allah to make you happy in return that will never happen you want to fall into the Haram and you want Allah to make you happy that would never happen and that's
why my brother and sister when you are sad and depressed ask yourself that question before you look into your bank account how much money you've got there and before you make an appointment with a psychologist or a doctor and before you sit and speak to this person and that person ask yourself what's your relationship between you and Allah because of that relationship you have said because of your tongue being dry from not remembering Allah you are sad W from the moment you remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala from the moment you knock on the gates of
Allah and pray to him you feel the taste of happiness in your heart because darkness in the heart brings sadness darkness in the heart brings sadness darkness in the heart brings depression darkness in the heart brings stress but light and new brings happiness light and N brings Comfort light and N brings calmness and Tranquility we have the wrong understanding of comfort and Tranquility we think that money is happiness we think that power is happiness Allah knows no one is happy with just money and no one just happy with Fame you hear every single day the
richest people commit suicide why the most famous people on drugs why if they were happy why do they go on drugs for if they were happy with the money they had why do they keep be suicide for D is their worry dun is their stress dun is their their concern but Subhan Allah you're a m you're a believer that your concern every single day is how to pleas Allah Asel you sleep the best sleep you wake up the best you eat the best your heart is the best your comfort is the best Subhan Allah when
you please Allah Allah puts happiness in your [Music] heart when you please Allah subhana wa tala Allah makes you content when you please Allah subhana tala Allah bring you satisfaction when you please Allah subhanahu wa taala Allah subhanahu wa taala will makes you from amongst those who is Happy Allah who relief your stress Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will take away your depression Allah subhah wa ta'ala will make you concerned and matters are worthy to be concerned yes there are moments that we are stressed W my brothers and sisters our only way of happiness and relieving
stress from us is to to please Allah turn to Allah subhanahu waala Allah will turn to you be with Allah and Allah will be with you do the righteous deeds and actions and Allah subhah wa ta'ala will give you happiness if you are stressed fear Allah Allah subhah wa tala will make an opening for you if you are stuck in a problem fear Allah subhana tala and Allah will take you out of that problem if you are depressed fear Allah subhah tala and Allah will make an happening for you out of that depression reely on
Allah subhana wa tala and you've got everything reely on Allah and Allah subhana tal will give you everything rely on Allah subhah wa taala and Allah Grant you everything the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that if any of you is ever tried by a tribulation then let him remember his trial and tribulation through my Calamity for indeed it is the greatest of Trials what is happening here the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is alluding to the death of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam it is the greatest trial that every Muslim goes through without even realizing it
and let's look at why you look at the status of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he was every man's best friend so people lost their best friends people lost their Consolers the wives of the Prophet lost their husband the Muslim Community lost their leader the old women in the community who had no one to tell their problems to they used to tell it to the messenger of Allah they lost the ones who would hear them out now imagine the greatest of all trials the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was our direct link to Allah subhana wa
taala the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam was our direct link to Allah subhana wa taala in times of trials and tribulation you have a decision to make either you can get closer to Allah subhana wa ta'ala and that is your way to Paradise or you can decide to live with your pain seek the pity of people and let the pain get worse and create your own destruction he who has Allah has everything I pray that Allah subhana wa taala alleviates the pains every believer and of every Muslim and that he makes it a path to get
closer to Allah subhana wa tala rather than a path that leads away from [Music] him [Music] [Music] I hope you are in a very good State now and I hope that you have um High man I want to tell you don't ever be sad because Allah is with you this life is not worth worth of being sad so you should always smile even sometimes you feel I also feel AET all a lot of time because I really just want to go home to journey and I want to listen to good and I want to read
goodan all day if you ever feel sad you should just go do so wood and you should remember that you are from the Muslim um that means that everyone is making D for you including me so just keep your head high and be strong because because after how sheep his ear just like Allah promised in the Quran when you feel sad remember this life is just a t and soon you'll be over and you'll be happy forever and joury you wouldn't be sad everything that's meant to happen to you Allah wanted it to happen to
