WEBVTT 00:00.211 --> 00:04.355 [SPEAKER_00]: My dear respected brothers, sisters, elders, youngsters. 00:06.657 --> 00:14.563 [SPEAKER_00]: One of the sunnahs of this world that everyone has to go through in this life is the sunnah of waiting. 00:16.945 --> 00:22.790 [SPEAKER_00]: Every time we look at our own life and we analyze our own life alone, every one of us. 00:24.252 --> 00:26.734 [SPEAKER_00]: If we're a young, we're waiting to get older. 00:28.225 --> 00:31.527 [SPEAKER_00]: If for a teenager, we're waiting to get married. 00:32.668 --> 00:38.752 [SPEAKER_00]: If we're already married, then perhaps we're waiting for children to come into this world. 00:40.534 --> 00:48.700 [SPEAKER_00]: And if we're parents of children that have grown older, we're waiting for our children to have children so that we can become grandparents. 00:50.141 --> 00:52.882 [SPEAKER_00]: We learn from all of these scenarios of life. 00:53.861 --> 01:13.089 [SPEAKER_00]: Every one of us, regardless of what standard of life you have, regardless of how rich or poor a person is, it doesn't matter what state of his or her life he or she is in, every one of us have to wait in this world. 01:14.630 --> 01:16.551 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not just talking about waiting in mind. 01:17.411 --> 01:19.272 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about generally waiting. 01:20.413 --> 01:37.880 [SPEAKER_00]: The concept of waiting, sometimes can allow a person to develop frustration, can allow a person to develop some type of disease inside the heart that he or she is just not able to have the capacity to wait anymore. 01:38.860 --> 01:43.282 [SPEAKER_00]: And you will find those people that are no longer able to wait in their life. 01:43.322 --> 01:47.483 [SPEAKER_00]: You will find those same individuals that even for the slightest thing, 01:49.559 --> 01:54.041 [SPEAKER_00]: Someone cuts them off, they're in a traffic, they cut them off, they'll have a huge rage, it'll be upset. 01:54.681 --> 02:04.464 [SPEAKER_00]: It's because their mind and their understanding of life is that we cannot wait, and it doesn't make sense to wait, we just need things quick, easy, and keep going in life. 02:05.284 --> 02:09.026 [SPEAKER_00]: That constant flow in our mind that we shouldn't have to wait. 02:09.906 --> 02:25.711 [SPEAKER_00]: and sometimes when a person develops this type of understanding that he is too good to wait and he or she shouldn't have to wait because now there's somewhat considered illegal class and they pay for faster service so they shouldn't have to wait. 02:26.251 --> 02:37.134 [SPEAKER_00]: When we feel that we've become this individual, that is when you find that person having extreme disaster in his or her life. 02:38.862 --> 03:03.058 [SPEAKER_00]: When you look at the Qur'an and heavy and you analyze the life of the pious predecessors and the stories of the Qur'an, you will learn that when a person realizes and understands the importance of waiting and understands that everything in this world requires a specific 03:10.215 --> 03:18.542 [SPEAKER_00]: So, today's Khutbah is for us to all understand and realize that there is some greatness in waiting in this world. 03:19.563 --> 03:35.316 [SPEAKER_00]: And the way I talk about is not the way of waiting for the Juma to finish or waiting inside the traffic and just living your life constantly waiting and waiting, but there is great benefit in this world when a person realizes, 03:36.293 --> 03:38.733 [SPEAKER_00]: what he or she must do when they're waiting. 03:39.434 --> 03:49.755 [SPEAKER_00]: And if they've analyzed this and they've made that portion of their life into a level of perfection, you will find that person's life transformed. 03:50.756 --> 03:51.956 [SPEAKER_00]: Because nothing will bother them. 03:52.976 --> 03:54.396 [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing will irritate them. 03:54.456 --> 04:01.257 [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing will instigate in their life that, you know, I need to do this and I need to do that because I don't deserve to wait. 04:05.062 --> 04:10.744 [SPEAKER_00]: The son of Osalae in the Paispray Disasters, they have given beautiful statements in their life. 04:11.564 --> 04:17.746 [SPEAKER_00]: And they've analyzed the waiting game as a game of understanding that it is like a classroom. 04:18.586 --> 04:28.569 [SPEAKER_00]: That when a person is inside the classroom, he or she is learning and understanding what it needs to be, you know, what he or she needs to learn in that very classroom. 04:29.109 --> 04:32.410 [SPEAKER_00]: But when you and I understand the benefits 04:34.070 --> 04:42.737 [SPEAKER_00]: And understanding the benefits of being a person that is somewhat, you know, cautious and understands it. 04:43.077 --> 04:48.241 [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't get over- overstimulated in scenarios where they can't wait any longer. 04:48.681 --> 04:55.306 [SPEAKER_00]: When a person realizes that, you will find that that person will gain so many greatness in this world. 04:56.327 --> 05:01.871 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we become such that we're no longer able to bear the suspense. 05:04.361 --> 05:22.350 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, for example, if something horrific happens to you in your life, and someone calls you in that person that's calling you so happens to be a police officer, and the first words they say to you that, you know, I have some news for you, it's about your son. 05:23.341 --> 05:31.337 [SPEAKER_00]: Instantly in that very moment those words will allow you to say you know what just tell me I don't need the suspense. 05:31.417 --> 05:34.864 [SPEAKER_00]: I just need to know what is it about my son that you're going to tell me 05:35.768 --> 05:41.910 [SPEAKER_00]: And then they begin to relate to that, you know, God forbid he had an accident and he's injured at this and that. 05:42.291 --> 05:43.791 [SPEAKER_00]: And your first reaction is what? 05:44.411 --> 05:45.312 [SPEAKER_00]: Is he okay? 05:45.332 --> 05:52.955 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he broke his leg, maybe he got hurt, it's not okay, but it might be somewhat bearable, but is he living? 05:53.095 --> 05:53.775 [SPEAKER_00]: Is he okay? 05:53.795 --> 05:58.177 [SPEAKER_00]: That suspense puts a person at the edge of life. 05:59.234 --> 06:04.297 [SPEAKER_00]: Ask that mother, that is in the vicinity of the trials of Raza. 06:05.058 --> 06:08.801 [SPEAKER_00]: She walks out of her tent to get some food for her child. 06:09.661 --> 06:17.146 [SPEAKER_00]: And she comes back and she sees that the whole locality of all of the tents that were she's living, they're all have been destroyed. 06:18.767 --> 06:24.351 [SPEAKER_00]: Ask that mother, the moment she sees that all she can think about is a suspense, is 06:27.628 --> 06:28.288 [SPEAKER_00]: Are they living? 06:28.348 --> 06:29.008 [SPEAKER_00]: Are they okay? 06:29.128 --> 06:31.729 [SPEAKER_00]: Even the thought of maybe they might be okay? 06:31.849 --> 06:36.830 [SPEAKER_00]: Even if they see a bear in land filled with destruction, they might just have hope. 06:37.550 --> 06:38.190 [SPEAKER_00]: Are they living? 06:38.530 --> 06:39.110 [SPEAKER_00]: Are they there? 06:39.670 --> 06:43.391 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we can't even bear that suspense and that's okay. 06:45.151 --> 06:49.372 [SPEAKER_00]: But there's greatness is in understanding what it means to wait. 06:50.252 --> 06:52.893 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ says, this is very beautiful. 06:52.933 --> 06:53.173 [SPEAKER_00]: How do you 06:54.659 --> 06:59.845 [SPEAKER_00]: subtle law of women publicly, ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Dala for his bounty. 07:00.815 --> 07:03.316 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is the whole mark of today's discussion. 07:04.236 --> 07:06.556 [SPEAKER_00]: Of how to ask Allah for His bounty. 07:07.297 --> 07:13.998 [SPEAKER_00]: And the Prophet ﷺ says, but in Allah, you hit Abu A'yus'a'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u 07:31.302 --> 07:42.912 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ says, what in the earth is the ability to intervivalry, that the greatest worship, the greatest form of worship, the best form of worship is waiting for that relief. 07:43.632 --> 07:46.094 [SPEAKER_00]: Is waiting for your child to finally get married? 07:46.474 --> 07:53.240 [SPEAKER_00]: Is the wait time that you have to go through in life so that you are able to finalize the results of your joy? 07:53.980 --> 08:04.973 [SPEAKER_00]: That period of weight and being content with the decision of Allah and to be able to wait for that very period is so great to Allah that you can't even imagine. 08:06.257 --> 08:07.658 [SPEAKER_00]: That itself is a worship. 08:07.878 --> 08:10.140 [SPEAKER_00]: The weight itself is a worship of its own. 08:10.200 --> 08:10.761 [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine that. 08:11.602 --> 08:16.986 [SPEAKER_00]: Have you ever thought that waiting for your dua to be accepted is actually a worship of Allah? 08:17.006 --> 08:18.207 [SPEAKER_00]: We never think about these things. 08:18.788 --> 08:21.871 [SPEAKER_00]: We think that we're waiting, we're waiting, if it happens, it happens. 08:22.491 --> 08:26.134 [SPEAKER_00]: And then if we doesn't happen, we get frustrated with the decision of Allah, to Muhammad ﷺ. 08:26.715 --> 08:33.461 [SPEAKER_00]: But the process of waiting is so pleasing to Allah that the prophet of Allah says that is the best form of worship. 08:34.472 --> 08:49.222 [SPEAKER_00]: And one of the Salafosali, hey, they say, Manthala in Dilawhu, Aluma al-Tawhu, that whoever's waiting is prolonged, whoever's waiting is prolonged, their gift is even greater. 08:49.722 --> 08:50.243 [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine that. 08:50.643 --> 08:58.628 [SPEAKER_00]: Whoever's waiting is prolonged, the gift that they will receive from a loss of Hanoatala will be far greater than you can ever imagine. 08:58.889 --> 08:59.369 [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine that. 09:00.253 --> 09:08.476 [SPEAKER_00]: The longer you wait, when the day it comes and the opportunity it comes, you will find that that weight will finally be worth it. 09:09.636 --> 09:14.378 [SPEAKER_00]: Ask that mother and father that has been through the most difficult portions of their life. 09:15.058 --> 09:16.799 [SPEAKER_00]: They're waiting for children to happen. 09:17.468 --> 09:21.951 [SPEAKER_00]: And finally, they get the news of, you know, Mashallah, the mother is expecting. 09:22.491 --> 09:25.954 [SPEAKER_00]: And all of a sudden when the mother is accepting, she loses that child. 09:26.554 --> 09:34.640 [SPEAKER_00]: It happens once, it happens twice, it happens again and again and again to the extent that the father and mother they become hopeless. 09:35.610 --> 10:00.967 [SPEAKER_00]: And then ask that person that finally after so many tries of losing their children in the womb of their mother asked that mother and father in that very state that when the finally the child sticks finally it's been thirty weeks thirty five weeks of pregnancy the mother and father excited just a few weeks left and then to get the horrifying news that the child has complications. 10:05.931 --> 10:12.719 [SPEAKER_00]: But the complications are such that the only hospital in the world that they can go to is no longer in their locality. 10:13.540 --> 10:15.322 [SPEAKER_00]: So they have to move to another state. 10:16.203 --> 10:18.866 [SPEAKER_00]: And they go to that state, they get the medical treatment. 10:19.306 --> 10:26.455 [SPEAKER_00]: And when the child is born, the child ends up wearing in the NICU for nearly three to four months. 10:28.444 --> 10:31.045 [SPEAKER_00]: ask that mother and father what they're going through. 10:31.065 --> 10:33.786 [SPEAKER_00]: They've lost some of the children in this process of pregnancy. 10:34.406 --> 10:36.827 [SPEAKER_00]: And then when they finally have this child, what happens? 10:37.187 --> 10:44.689 [SPEAKER_00]: The child ends up in the difficult situation where is on the ventilator having difficult breathing. 10:45.520 --> 10:48.523 [SPEAKER_00]: This whole scenario I'm relating to is a personal scenario. 10:48.823 --> 10:49.924 [SPEAKER_00]: This is what I've been through. 10:50.605 --> 10:54.289 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm giving you a personal example of my own personal life. 10:54.789 --> 10:55.530 [SPEAKER_00]: This happened to me. 10:56.331 --> 10:57.992 [SPEAKER_00]: We've had a child in this very manner. 10:58.893 --> 11:00.775 [SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have children for years and years. 11:00.835 --> 11:07.622 [SPEAKER_00]: And finally, when we had it, that child had complications and now what, we ended up moving to Florida for three months. 11:08.643 --> 11:22.372 [SPEAKER_00]: After three months of the child, my own son, being in the ventilator and not having oxygen to breathe and being in that state, and finally realizing that Allah Subhanahu Wa'Tada is in control. 11:22.792 --> 11:24.953 [SPEAKER_00]: It is up to Allah when He wants to give, He will give. 11:25.974 --> 11:28.355 [SPEAKER_00]: After three months of being on the ventilator, 11:33.259 --> 11:40.686 [SPEAKER_00]: You would expect that things would become worse, but Allah, Subhan wa Zada, is preparing us for something far greater than that. 11:41.587 --> 11:44.850 [SPEAKER_00]: So what are the Sala Fasala Hinsesman Thala in Dilawulu? 11:45.490 --> 11:54.919 [SPEAKER_00]: Adul Mahatahu, that whoever is waiting for a very prolonged period of time understand that the longer they wait, the greater the gift. 11:55.780 --> 11:59.123 [SPEAKER_00]: So the next time Allah doesn't ask, answer your prayer. 12:00.053 --> 12:01.294 [SPEAKER_00]: there's something greater than that. 12:01.874 --> 12:03.455 [SPEAKER_00]: There's something greater coming for you. 12:03.535 --> 12:04.155 [SPEAKER_00]: Just wait. 12:04.295 --> 12:05.536 [SPEAKER_00]: Just be humble and wait. 12:06.677 --> 12:11.460 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is where you learn by the very incident or the statement of Ibn Akayyam he says. 12:11.480 --> 12:20.665 [SPEAKER_00]: Lawalim al-Abduqaifa yudab bin Allahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulahulah 12:21.264 --> 12:34.251 [SPEAKER_00]: If an ayam, he says if a servant truly knew how Allah Subhan wa tada manages his affairs, he would know that certainly Allah is more merciful to him than his mother and father. 12:34.692 --> 12:35.632 [SPEAKER_00]: Think about that for a moment. 12:36.172 --> 12:36.853 [SPEAKER_00]: If he knew 12:37.910 --> 12:45.154 [SPEAKER_00]: how a law manages your affairs, you will automatically understand that he is more merciful than your father and mother. 12:45.714 --> 12:55.459 [SPEAKER_00]: And if Nephaya says, wala-dha-du-kall-bhul-mahab-bha-tand-l-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-dha-d 13:07.795 --> 13:16.082 [SPEAKER_00]: You just want to be easy to not complain, just be there, respect the law, understand the decision of a law and just wait. 13:17.003 --> 13:23.008 [SPEAKER_00]: If you understand what a law is preparing for you, you would follow the love with the loss of Hadoa dada. 13:23.328 --> 13:24.630 [SPEAKER_00]: That's how beautiful the statement is. 13:25.070 --> 13:29.093 [SPEAKER_00]: You would automatically know what it's okay, something's far greater coming. 13:29.574 --> 13:31.355 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'll give you a very beautiful example of this. 13:31.395 --> 13:32.897 [SPEAKER_00]: Just two days ago, this happened to me. 13:33.593 --> 13:56.524 [SPEAKER_00]: On Wednesday I was traveling, going to see my parents, and I can barely walk, and I told my wife the night before, I really want to both see them, but I'm also not sure because I can't walk, like I need my crutches, I'm not able to walk, and my only fear is that from the door of the plane to go to my seat, I'm worried to walk those steps. 13:56.844 --> 13:57.825 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just worried about that. 13:58.593 --> 14:02.516 [SPEAKER_00]: I have my wheelchair, but the wheelchair doesn't take you all over to your seat. 14:03.317 --> 14:05.298 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just worried how am I going to get to my seat. 14:06.299 --> 14:12.484 [SPEAKER_00]: And she laughs at me and she says, you know, just bend over and just grab her machine and just take benefit from the seat. 14:13.105 --> 14:14.286 [SPEAKER_00]: I said, I'll probably do that. 14:14.306 --> 14:16.007 [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of the only scenario I have. 14:16.808 --> 14:18.189 [SPEAKER_00]: But nevertheless, I'll do my best. 14:19.029 --> 14:22.432 [SPEAKER_00]: I get to their airport well in advance, and I never get to their airport well in advance. 14:22.452 --> 14:23.293 [SPEAKER_00]: We just never do that. 14:24.142 --> 14:25.563 [SPEAKER_00]: I get there well in advance. 14:26.264 --> 14:32.369 [SPEAKER_00]: And so how long the whole situation and having my wheelchair and doing all of this, I end up still missing my flight. 14:34.271 --> 14:36.033 [SPEAKER_00]: And the next flight is three hours later. 14:36.934 --> 14:45.822 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like either I just don't go or I can find another option and I looked around and I saw another cheaper option and I booked the second the best option which was after an hour and a half. 14:46.707 --> 14:48.848 [SPEAKER_00]: I get to the gate and Subhan Allah. 14:48.908 --> 14:50.029 [SPEAKER_00]: My worry is still there. 14:50.069 --> 14:54.271 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm still wondering how am I going to reach the actual seat? 14:55.132 --> 14:57.073 [SPEAKER_00]: And Subhan Allah, I can't do not. 14:58.033 --> 15:05.497 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sitting there at the gate with my wheelchair, sitting in my wheelchair, and all of a sudden this brother from this machine walks up to me. 15:05.757 --> 15:06.518 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know who he is. 15:07.158 --> 15:08.339 [SPEAKER_00]: So Shaykh, do you need help? 15:08.399 --> 15:10.380 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, I need help. 15:11.380 --> 15:12.101 [SPEAKER_00]: I really need help. 15:12.721 --> 15:14.042 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, I'll get you to your seat. 15:14.082 --> 15:15.843 [SPEAKER_00]: And I need an ask him to get to my seat. 15:16.578 --> 15:25.961 [SPEAKER_00]: Subhanallah had I thought for a moment in my life how can I miss my flight and all of this and I've been frustrated about that Who knew what Allah had planned for me? 15:26.461 --> 15:26.841 [SPEAKER_00]: Who knew? 15:27.862 --> 15:44.527 [SPEAKER_00]: So sometimes when you go through scenarios in life you think that it's it's you know is you're at your bottom You're at your lowest point of life But never think about that number to think like that about a loss of animal data because Allah has something greater plan for you 15:45.229 --> 15:56.259 [SPEAKER_00]: The only thing is you have to wait for it, and be patient with Allah, because Allah will take care of it, but you have to be patient with Allah, SubhanAllah, and we learn from the very examples. 15:57.360 --> 16:01.863 [SPEAKER_00]: There are so many wisdoms, so many wisdoms, whole Khutwa is about the wisdoms of waiting. 16:02.664 --> 16:05.406 [SPEAKER_00]: What is the baraka and the wisdoms of waiting? 16:05.567 --> 16:12.633 [SPEAKER_00]: When we wait all day, every day for things that we want, so badly, what are the wisdoms of Allah, SubhanAllah, what is Allah prepared for us? 16:13.617 --> 16:14.817 [SPEAKER_00]: There are three stages in life. 16:15.638 --> 16:23.900 [SPEAKER_00]: The first stage is that when a person is constantly waiting that weight becomes so difficult, he becomes frustrated. 16:23.940 --> 16:25.540 [SPEAKER_00]: That's where everyone's start. 16:25.580 --> 16:27.241 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the level we all start off with. 16:28.081 --> 16:29.502 [SPEAKER_00]: We're no longer able to wait. 16:30.002 --> 16:31.582 [SPEAKER_00]: It's very difficult for us to wait. 16:32.562 --> 16:34.023 [SPEAKER_00]: Once we pass the stage of, 16:34.828 --> 16:41.492 [SPEAKER_00]: saying to ourselves, you know what, I'm gonna have to wait and you get over yourself of waiting and it's no longer difficult for you. 16:41.992 --> 16:50.717 [SPEAKER_00]: The second stage is that the waiting itself, if you can understand that the waiting itself is in there, about that, that will become even greater for you. 16:51.938 --> 16:56.620 [SPEAKER_00]: Once you can understand that the difficulty is there, it's going to be there, you're going to have to wait. 16:56.961 --> 16:59.462 [SPEAKER_00]: This is the sunnah of this world, you're have to wait. 16:59.942 --> 17:00.643 [SPEAKER_00]: There's no such thing 17:03.633 --> 17:09.259 [SPEAKER_00]: Once you understand that the weight itself is a worship, you will be pleased with a little loss of health. 17:09.279 --> 17:10.240 [SPEAKER_00]: That is a second stage. 17:10.941 --> 17:21.472 [SPEAKER_00]: The third stage is that when you understand the worship is far greater in weighting, and you understand this, you actually enjoy the process of weighting. 17:21.932 --> 17:22.713 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the third stage. 17:23.674 --> 17:25.917 [SPEAKER_00]: Then when you go through that weight, you enjoy it. 17:27.496 --> 17:34.838 [SPEAKER_00]: appreciate it, you enjoy it, and you look forward to what Allah has planned for you, and that's where thouw the thay. 17:35.959 --> 17:39.740 [SPEAKER_00]: One of the greatest scholars of his time, a pious predecessor, he says, 17:54.536 --> 18:12.668 [SPEAKER_00]: that if you understood that every planning belongs to Allah your whole life, the whole plan of your life that you've anticipated that you wanted to happen this way, but Allah wanted it to happen this way, the whole planning of Allah is so magnificent, and if you understood that, 18:15.381 --> 18:18.304 [SPEAKER_00]: that the planning of Allah, the waiting is very sweet. 18:18.944 --> 18:20.866 [SPEAKER_00]: But you just have to realize the waiting is sweet. 18:21.587 --> 18:24.129 [SPEAKER_00]: And the relief, what does relief actually mean? 18:24.829 --> 18:27.612 [SPEAKER_00]: That when you're finally relieved of that difficulty. 18:28.826 --> 18:30.267 [SPEAKER_00]: If a person is in prison is what? 18:30.887 --> 18:32.628 [SPEAKER_00]: He's removed from the prisons of this world. 18:33.229 --> 18:36.030 [SPEAKER_00]: If a person isn't having children, they finally have a child. 18:36.511 --> 18:38.772 [SPEAKER_00]: If a person isn't married, they finally get married. 18:38.812 --> 18:48.157 [SPEAKER_00]: If a person has parents, humble by ease, able to have a good relationship with their parents, that relief is slowly, slowly, removed in his life. 18:48.618 --> 18:49.618 [SPEAKER_00]: And it becomes easier. 18:50.599 --> 18:53.801 [SPEAKER_00]: The process of waiting is so beloved to Allah, 18:54.783 --> 19:05.393 [SPEAKER_00]: You and I, waiting for Salat to start, is so beloved to Allah that the Prophet ﷺ says, La Yazan wa Ahabuqumfi, Salat and Madam at the Salat of the Habisul. 19:06.134 --> 19:17.385 [SPEAKER_00]: Then when a person comes for prayer, and all he is doing is sitting and waiting for prayer, the process of waiting is so beloved to Allah that the Prophet of Allah says, that wait 19:18.686 --> 19:24.892 [SPEAKER_00]: is as if when he is waiting, it's almost as if he is in the state of prayer even though he's not praying. 19:25.112 --> 19:25.593 [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine that. 19:26.233 --> 19:34.101 [SPEAKER_00]: You're sitting here waiting for prayer, you are receiving the reward as if you are actually in the state of prayer, though you may not be in the state of prayer. 19:34.661 --> 19:35.822 [SPEAKER_00]: That's how beautiful waiting is. 19:35.842 --> 19:40.687 [SPEAKER_00]: Use of al-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-Azul-A 19:41.878 --> 19:46.864 [SPEAKER_00]: Yusufale Salat waslam in the very story of Yusufale Salat, we learned something very magnificent. 19:47.284 --> 19:53.712 [SPEAKER_00]: Yusufale Salat waslam towards the end of the very Surah, what is one of the laws in Narab Bila Tiful Limayyasha. 19:53.972 --> 19:57.396 [SPEAKER_00]: I won't mention the whole incident, but we'll give a very synopsis of what happened. 19:57.897 --> 20:00.119 [SPEAKER_00]: Yusufale Salat waslam was inside the prison. 20:00.740 --> 20:03.422 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's waiting inside the prison for many, many years. 20:04.002 --> 20:05.923 [SPEAKER_00]: And he meets a friend, so I have a decision. 20:05.943 --> 20:08.025 [SPEAKER_00]: He meets a friend inside the prison. 20:08.465 --> 20:14.729 [SPEAKER_00]: And he tells a friend inside the prison that when you go in front of the king, make sure you mention about me, tell him about me. 20:15.689 --> 20:23.494 [SPEAKER_00]: Because when you go to the king and you ask for my pardon and your own pardon, perhaps we will both get pardoned, right? 20:24.774 --> 20:30.616 [SPEAKER_00]: So this sahib was vision, the friend of his, when he went to the king, he totally forgot about Yusufalay Saram. 20:30.676 --> 20:32.277 [SPEAKER_00]: He never remembered about Yusufalay Saram. 20:33.177 --> 20:39.379 [SPEAKER_00]: But the question is, had he remembered and had the king pardoned Yusufalay Saratosaram? 20:39.819 --> 20:40.820 [SPEAKER_00]: What would have happened? 20:41.340 --> 20:49.183 [SPEAKER_00]: Yusufalay Saratosaram would be released out of jail and he would go straight to his family and he would go continue to live his life the way he was supposed to live his life. 20:49.904 --> 20:56.646 [SPEAKER_00]: but Allah Subhanahu Wa Tala prolong the process of prison for many, many years, why? 20:57.226 --> 21:01.368 [SPEAKER_00]: What was the wisdom of Allah Subhanahu Wa Tala to prolong this process? 21:02.288 --> 21:07.450 [SPEAKER_00]: Because when you learn this very story, you learn that that very king began to see dreams. 21:08.130 --> 21:11.111 [SPEAKER_00]: And he needed someone to interpret those dreams. 21:11.691 --> 21:14.872 [SPEAKER_00]: And the only person that was able to interpret the dream was what? 21:15.292 --> 21:16.973 [SPEAKER_00]: Yusavari Salam, and he was in the... 21:17.993 --> 21:18.453 [SPEAKER_00]: The prison. 21:19.093 --> 21:20.474 [SPEAKER_00]: So his saw him was positioned. 21:20.494 --> 21:25.135 [SPEAKER_00]: His friend, all of a sudden, now he remembers, and he says to the king, I know someone. 21:25.735 --> 21:29.777 [SPEAKER_00]: But the only difference is he's inside the prison, perhaps you can ask him. 21:30.497 --> 21:32.157 [SPEAKER_00]: And then that whole discussion happens. 21:33.298 --> 21:33.938 [SPEAKER_00]: And then he calls 21:37.758 --> 21:47.862 [SPEAKER_00]: But now you understand that if Yusavali said that Salaam was released many, many years ago, from the very friend of his that he had, nothing would have happened. 21:47.882 --> 21:50.043 [SPEAKER_00]: He would have never had that discussion with the king. 21:50.943 --> 21:56.225 [SPEAKER_00]: But now that discussion is such a discussion, that the king needs Yusavali Salaam. 21:56.685 --> 21:59.646 [SPEAKER_00]: And when the king needs it, he's constantly calling him to the powers. 22:00.046 --> 22:02.107 [SPEAKER_00]: So now they've developed this relationship. 22:03.215 --> 22:10.575 [SPEAKER_00]: had a loss of how no one thought I allowed it for him to be released right away and there was no waiting game, perhaps that discussion would have never happened. 22:11.407 --> 22:13.188 [SPEAKER_00]: So there is some type of hickman. 22:13.228 --> 22:14.108 [SPEAKER_00]: So what does Allah say? 22:14.629 --> 22:17.330 [SPEAKER_00]: In Arabic, Nati Fullimaya shah. 22:17.970 --> 22:20.152 [SPEAKER_00]: The decision of Allah is very subtle. 22:20.912 --> 22:27.295 [SPEAKER_00]: You might not understand why things are happening today, but the decision of Allah is very subtle. 22:27.375 --> 22:28.296 [SPEAKER_00]: It's very quiet. 22:28.416 --> 22:29.797 [SPEAKER_00]: You will never get it sometimes. 22:30.297 --> 22:35.640 [SPEAKER_00]: As a matter of fact, you will wait for years and years to understand why Allah did this to me. 22:36.422 --> 22:41.147 [SPEAKER_00]: But one day, a decision will come and it will all unfold and it will all make sense. 22:42.048 --> 22:48.316 [SPEAKER_00]: When you look at the life of Zekari Aresan at Osunam, he waited nearly 90 years to have a child. 22:48.996 --> 22:51.699 [SPEAKER_00]: At the age of 90, he finally has a child. 22:52.140 --> 22:54.743 [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine the process of waiting for that, for that profit. 22:55.957 --> 23:00.342 [SPEAKER_00]: When he has a child, then child was so blessed that the child was also a prophet. 23:00.863 --> 23:08.932 [SPEAKER_00]: When the mother of Musa al-Saramun Allah tells the mother of Musa through your child inside the river, a day will come that you will meet this child. 23:09.693 --> 23:12.997 [SPEAKER_00]: That process of waiting was very difficult for any mother. 23:13.858 --> 23:15.861 [SPEAKER_00]: Ask any mother to go through that, no one will do it. 23:17.014 --> 23:21.501 [SPEAKER_00]: But the mother of Musa Al-Azul-Sanam had to understand the process of waiting. 23:22.022 --> 23:25.227 [SPEAKER_00]: That this process of waiting will be so beloved to you. 23:25.407 --> 23:29.393 [SPEAKER_00]: It will be so good for you that one day your child will become a prophet. 23:29.413 --> 23:31.176 [SPEAKER_00]: And he will rule around this very area. 23:32.238 --> 23:39.540 [SPEAKER_00]: My brothers and sisters, there are wisdoms of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala on why Allah puts us through these trials in this world. 23:40.220 --> 23:42.301 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'll finish off with this very last heavy. 23:42.901 --> 23:50.943 [SPEAKER_00]: And the idea is that when you understand this very heavy, the next time you make dua to Allah, don't hasten in this dua. 23:51.918 --> 24:02.921 [SPEAKER_00]: the Prophet ﷺ says, you say, you say, if you want your dua to be accepted, everyone wants their dua to be accepted. 24:03.541 --> 24:10.563 [SPEAKER_00]: If you want your dua to be accepted, don't make dua in a manner that you're impatient with Allah ﷺ. 24:10.784 --> 24:11.584 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't be impatient. 24:12.644 --> 24:15.425 [SPEAKER_00]: Let it be when the time is there, it will happen. 24:16.265 --> 24:18.748 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't continue to ask Allah, what is it going to happen? 24:18.808 --> 24:22.091 [SPEAKER_00]: When am I finally going to have something that I've always wanted? 24:22.551 --> 24:26.475 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet of Allah says, Qadad, the alturabbi, Falam, yes, the jibli. 24:27.016 --> 24:31.440 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't become like the person that continues to say, oh Allah, I made so much doha. 24:31.641 --> 24:32.802 [SPEAKER_00]: What are you going to listen to me? 24:33.763 --> 24:38.828 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't hasten in the decision of Allah Subhanahu al-Tala because when Allah decides, it will happen. 24:39.938 --> 24:46.640 [SPEAKER_00]: We ask a loss of handouts that allow us and enable us to become amongst those people to understand the true essence of waiting in China. 24:46.920 --> 24:53.202 [SPEAKER_00]: We ask a loss of handouts that are to protect our brothers and sisters of Azza, and a loss of handouts that are to protect them. 24:53.523 --> 25:00.465 [SPEAKER_00]: We ask a loss of handouts that are to protect our brothers and sisters of Sudan, the atrocities that they move through on a daily basis. 25:00.485 --> 25:06.427 [SPEAKER_00]: I ask you my brothers, for the sake of a life, you don't know nothing about the brothers of Sudan, find out a little. 25:07.225 --> 25:08.086 [SPEAKER_00]: do some research. 25:08.707 --> 25:18.757 [SPEAKER_00]: Just last week, a brother told me some things about it, and I didn't even know, it's the lack of knowledge that we don't have about what's happening in the world to our own brothers and sisters. 25:19.577 --> 25:30.765 [SPEAKER_00]: Pick up news outlets, whatever you think are reliable, understand them, listen to the scholars that talk about them, so that you can educate yourself, so that you can feel something inside and make dua for them. 25:31.046 --> 25:32.687 [SPEAKER_00]: We ask Allah Subhan Allah to forgive us.
