No.
I think it was prophetic guidance in dealing with the current crisis. Right. So I just wanted to define the word crisis, I mean, is what we're dealing with a crisis
are we dealing with crisis over in
Italy, and a crisis basically, you know, is defined as a, as a crucial or decisive point for situations. Another very interesting definition for it is
unstable conditions, as in political, social, or economic affairs.
Another one is emotionally stressful event,
or trauma that changes a person's life.
So, this is this is quite a crisis. And the reason I wanted to bring the definition of the word crisis is because
I want you to remember what it does to you.
What happens when a crisis takes place, is that it throws you off balance.
And if you become miserable, that easily becomes a root because you're off balance, that balance that you've had any life, whatever that amount of balance was, get lost. And all of a sudden, now you're saying all night long watching news, or you wake up at the, you know, professional prayer, and before you pray, you go and watch the latest update, and all of that, and you're so depressed, and you're so frustrated and angry. And sometimes you might even take it, you know, on the closest people to you and agitated, right. That's how I like to have anything to do with it. And you fall into this trap, because you're going through a crisis. And in this case, it's the whole owner going
through a crisis, another one of those crises.
Right? So it is very important that we understand what this question is doing to us. So we can deal with it.
A lot of what Allah created the universe with an event, whatever
it is, and there is a balance, and the minute this balance is
I would say, compromise,
there will be chaos, and there will be misery.
In this case, this Dallas was what compromise. And it doesn't matter who started at first. But what matters is this balance with compromise, there is a great level of injustice and oppression and wrongdoing happening in the wall, you know, people being massacred
a whole nation getting destroyed.
And it's a very depressing situation and the world is just sitting and watching. So as a Muslim, all these things, especially that this is happening to our brothers and sisters, or you know, mainly our brothers and sisters, or that it's happening to innocent people, or or that is happening in that part of the world that we consider to be sacred, you know, is very, very dear to our hearts, no matter where we're from, we we all have this emotional attachment and we have this obligation towards that land, anytime something of that nature happens in this land, we get distressed. So, how do we deal with this, we have to understand first of all brothers and sisters, that a lot of places
on this planet for one purpose and one purpose only and that is to worship Allah subhanaw taala and whatever loss of habitat it causes us to go through
it should help us
and should help us focus on that purpose. There are lots of data created for whether it is a happy moment or a sad moment. Whether it is a joyful, you know, something pleasant event, or whether it's one of those depressing events that happen it should always remind us of who we are who we belong to, and who it is that we should focus on. And that should be none other than a loss of Hannah. This is very important.
So during the crisis, what is the cause and expect for me?
What is
anyone worried about?
Yeah, before what is that trigger? Why would you call upon it?
Okay, before patient
what bring patients into it What?
Not sadness no before damage.
Okay,
go back.
Okay, you're weak, but what kind of what kind of feelings should we have for the loss of handle
You need help. So you are, you are helpless. And you are basically relying on our reliance on a lot of reliance on data. But in order for you to rely on a lot, you must have you must have what must happen, you must have
to put
a lot of hands panel. And let us all remember that a lot of diligence is in charge.
No one is in charge, no one, and I'm not gonna name countries or superpowers or individuals alone, I believe just the creator of this universe is in short, he was he will and he continues to be in charge.
So let us on a number that
number to remember that it's almost
nothing that almost caused it to happen against
our own doing
that as well. And Allah has a wisdom. And no matter how bad it takes to be, there's always a good that might come out of it. Because if we will have a lot of
a lot of work to learn. So let's remember that a loss of habitat is in charge, and that it is well as a result. So that took half an hour. And let's turn to a long as there isn't a time.
However, it is very difficult. It's amazing how I was listening to one of the children, he was saying that people very often, some people are not. Some people sometimes cannot turn to a lot of talent, and even at times of crisis, they have a hard time. And the reason is because they didn't connect with a lot of panel data in terms of prosperity. So they have a hard time connecting with a lot of times of adversity. And he said that makes them worse than some of the patients that were at the time of departure from alarm.
Because some of the patients who are the title of the pump have a lot it's and that's at the time of adversity, they will turn to allow only allow purely, they become
an attendee of posterity, that's when they can mature, that's when they associate others.
Some of us sometimes fall into this state where we can't even do that, because
we're so negative about
it, we don't rely on luck, we start looking for solution
in other things, other than a loss. So this is a time where we need to go back and realize that we're the slave the loss account, that is the master, we are the servants of the Lord and he's in charge, turn,
turn to Allah, and who is the one to teach us that?
In a better fashion,
more who would teach us that better than the past?
No one can teach you that better than the Prophet. So the best example that we have is the example of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what did the Prophet sallallahu do at times of fitna tell the trials and tribulations. First of all, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam always found comfort. And he turned to the book of Allah and
it is said in a hadith
that the book of Allah, and this program is like a rope.
One end of it is in the hands of a live audience, the other end is in your hands.
This is what connected to lots of panels. And this is the message of a lot of villages. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to turn to the poor and the book of Allah as well just to find comfort. And when the publican went through listing some hardships, it was known that How long did it take, by the way for the plant to be revealed? anyone from the audience? How long did it take for the plant to be revealed?
And was it revealed like in two days, three days, five years, how many years?
Seven years?
What 1330 or more 2223 23, which is the ACA 23. From the time the Prophet received the first message until he died, and the for an Canaan segment. It was segmented. The scholar said, well, not even the scholars but actually to make the argument. Why was the Quran not revealed all at one? Why did it come in segment was reacted calaca it was reactive, to show the dynamic nature that was demonstrated in the process of Revelation.
In the fact that revelation is filled with pigment it can segment the poor and held apart from a lot of them when the Cooper came and said
no
one was in this court at all revealed him at one Why didn't the Prophet receive an all in one book? You know, just like the Bible or that or like the 10 commandments. Oh, it's what I love to kind of add to
that
See that little tidbit of info added, it was done so in this fashion, so that would make your heart all Mohammed firm.
So every time the Prophet goes through some kind of hardship outcome to bring comfort, a little bit a portion from the outcome, and the profit from the logic and realize that this portion of the class is just addressing this situation. So that brings comfort to him, the Quran has this nature. But now if you go back to the overlay, we have the params every time a line every time you go back to the plateau, find the answer. And you will find a solution for any problems that you have just turned back to the poor and go down to the continental US to do and you will find comfort and you will find answers.
And I can sit here and give you an example. I mean, you pose any question, I will give you the answer from the plan.
And I'll give you one example. And then I will leave the rest. One. One question that many people have. Where did this come from? Why is it happening to what what when
did the question What is the
weather? Well, there are many answers one of those ads have given up or an
hour
later
why would you say you know where is it from.
But normally Indian football compared to the Mohammed it is of your own
and over your own doing.
It is of your own doing, look into your actions, look into your lifestyle, and you will see why this happened and why that took place.
And when you know the cause of the problem, it will be easy for you to solve the problem. If we continue to deal with the symptoms of the problem,
we will never end we don't get to the root cause of the problem, we won't be able to do much,
you know, but if you know the cause of the power, ad only takes you back to the car.
So the car and turning to the end at this time is a very crucial important thing. Number two,
follow
the proper follow up follow
the five day
turning to follow
it was the habit of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that was something of a great significance happen. That causes some kind of panic state of panic in the life of the Prophet that he would wish to follow cannabis, America and Canada either has
something overwhelming or something basically concerns him.
Because he finds comfort. In summer, he connects with a lot of Canada. But guess what the Quran comes in and activates the pathogen.
For us, to use the law, to present ourselves with the
property, he held an aid in the form of public patience was solid, and
you will find the things that you need in solid. And if we continue to go through whether it's personal, you know, crisis in your life, or whether it's a crisis of this level. And when we come to pray, whether it's the daily prayers or our our lesson prayers or fitness, and we don't find conflict, then we are not connecting with our Salah is of no value. Really. It doesn't have much significance. If it does not, it does not bring comfort into your life. That means there's something missing there's a very important element missing in your life.
So number two is number three,
following this area,
in everything that we do, because again,
we said that crisis of trials and tribulations that they throw you of course they they take you away from that balance that you have. Now what helps you keep the balance in every aspect of your life in every aspect of your life. Is your your attachment and your adherence to the Sharia to the laws of logic. Are you following Christie the Sharia or not? Now if you will not follow the Sharia for some reason and now you go through some kind of crisis. Now it's time for you to go back and parliamentarian.
Let's say that it is your negligence that got you into this dilemma or
The prices that you
make sure that when you when you, in your,
in your attempt to get out of this mess, that you do not break the rules of the Sharia you do according to the Sharia
whether again, whether this is personal, or we're talking about the current situation. So, let us not to just let it not try to go after those solutions that are violating the Sharia. Sometimes people just put an end to this, you know, and they might come up with an idea or with a with a compromise or that violates the Sharia you can
just because I want to feel better, and because I want to end this crisis, I go and violate the Sharia, if I lose my deal in the process of trying to get up, then what's the point. So it is very important that we follow the Sharia not only in coping and dealing with it with with the situation, but also in trying to find a solution for for this for this crisis.
I'll give you an example. Just to be a little more specific
part of following the story, and by the way,
I'll give you an example from the life of the prophet who said, we're going to follow the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam had
had a
this, there was this event that took place in his life, when he was headed towards Mecca. And they have they had a problem, a dilemma of price not allowing the Muslims to perform.
After they had already in a major intention, they set out to make Ramadan and all of that. And some of them who wanted to fight. They wanted to force their way, you know, just, you know, we're gonna make it all the way to Makkah. And the Prophet was given the order to do what
to set the truth. And a treaty at that time. This was an order from a lot. So when it came to him, and physically that Rama did not like the the some of the conditions of that treaty, he's like, This is not fair. If, for example, I was just to give you an idea is the Treaty of a davia. For those of you who don't know, the Muslims had they were at war with Kwame for years. Now, in the Treaty of davia. One of the conditions that were I don't want to say imposed but one of the conditions stated was that if a man from the Kufa from Croatia becomes a Muslim,
during this period of the truth, and goes to Medina, the prophet as the companions are obligated to send him back to Mecca.
On the other hand, if a Muslim
commit apostasy and turns away, and once you join the kuffaar, and he goes to Netcat, the Mexicans are not obligated to send them back in
this was one of the
and upon T in a condition like this,
could it be like what is this we can?
That was my voice, and I do not obey my voice?
And of course, there was great wisdom that Allah has had and what was the wisdom of this later, that if someone becomes a Muslim, and
and looking, send him back, if he's a truthful he will, he will pick the one that will make him stronger? Right. And in the meanwhile, guess what? Those Muslims who used to come to Medina, Medina used to reject them, you know, not accepted, right, who kept going, they couldn't go back, of course to Mecca. So they started gathering in a place between Mecca and Medina. And they formed a group that basically started a guerrilla war against the comfort of Mecca. Cooper of Mecca came to the point of saying, Please take these people with you. Please, that's it. We don't want them. Because the problem is that these people are not part of me. They're not part of my I sent them back. I'm
not accepting them. So they waged war against you guerilla war.
I'm not responsible for that. You go and deal with them if you want. So they said he they're not part of my Alliance, you know,
so they said, No, no, no, take him back to come back and talk to us and said, No, we had an agreement that he could do that with your headache. So this became a curse upon place. On the other hand, if someone rejects this lamp, which is very few that didn't even have there was only one case, I think that I can remember if someone rejected lamp, let's say someone is in Medina, and he denounces Islam and he doesn't want to be with a Muslim and he wants to go back to Mecca. Why would the Muslims wants to such a person or such a bad element that will not come back
Medina, they don't need that.
Great Well,
that's how the buffoon basically, originally, you know, you get rid of the bad apples in the society. And so there was great wisdom in it. But the point here is that the process of them decided to stick to a lot of instruction. Even if it doesn't seem to be, you know, reasonable,
because a lot of kind of data has the ultimate wisdom. And we always go back to the first principle, which is trust, have trust in a lot. And part of trusting a lot of them was a lot of them. So don't do anything in your attempt to deal with your situation that that violates the Sharia.
God, don't do anything of that.
Okay, I think I want to, I want to further elaborate, you know, talk about, you know, give different examples of, of how we should always turn back to the Sharia attempt of crisis.
I'll give you, for example, if you go through a personal crisis,
you could have
solutions or treatments that are that are unsafe, that are an Islamic,
let's say, You are a victim of black magic.
You have a lot of people coming and suggesting to you what, this is a personal crisis, some people go through, some people will come into this, oh, I know this person who can actually, you know, sorcerer or a person who can actually help you or cure or counter this. And
if it violates the Sharia, and you can,
if it violates, you can't use her army. My point here is that you cannot use army prohibited unlawful means, even if the end is noble, even if the end is good. So keep that in mind. And apply this to every crisis, every problem you go through, if it's a financial problem, and you have you attempted to earn living or solving a financial problem, through some loans that are based on interest that you know is how many
temporary solution to this crisis.
Make sure that you pass the test.
Don't give up, don't fail, don't tell yourself, don't fail yourself. And remember that in an alpha, omega tequila,
whoever feels or most panels, and whoever is mindful of a lot of love and finding a way out.
Following the Sharia also involves trusting God and trusting a lot.
And hope that when the crisis takes place, that you do not give up.
You don't give up. You don't lose hope. In fact, you find that that this, this is happening to you because you are on the right path.
If anything, this is supposed to give you some support, this is supposed to strengthen you, as a believer. And remember the example of Prophet Ibrahim,
the prophet that I'm used to call, he is a Prophet used to recall the stories of the Prophet beforehand, and it needs to find comfort. Property means that instead of was there a Dylan? Was there crisis worse than him being confronted, being found by his by the mighty army of Pharaoh is behind him. The ocean or the sea is in front of him. He's got no escape, right? And his people who did not learn their lesson, they're like, Oh, my God, we're taking us in the Marine Corps will not
look what you did to an owner, they came in and said, What can I do now? I have my lord with me and He will guide me.
Prophet Ibrahim, he didn't compromise. It said
that we're gonna burn it. He didn't say Oh, okay, sorry. I'll take it back. You know, maybe I will, you know, I'll water it down.
Are you gonna do anything? Are you gonna beg for you know, what did he say has to be a lot.
And the believers follow that example and that
when people say to them, that
other your enemies have conspired against you.
Or you have been working
in
a manner. It's increased their inner elevated the level of their email, it made them stronger, it made them more attached to Canada
and they
They said that they said that a lot, a sufficient part of help and support
can
they return without being harmed, or without being touched and protected?
Now, I would like to give to two more.
Two more things that we can do a type of crisis.
Remember, you must
remember a lot,
actually, not only remember a lot mentally, but also remember a lot verbally mentioned,
celebrate the remembrance of Allah.
Only, you see something that bothers you.
Right write
has to be about something that you fear, for example, is a threat has to be a lot whenever we call upon Allah subhanaw taala. Or
it's something that hurts you in a physical you feel different.
Right? Something that is brings in sorrow to your heart. Now, knowing that
you suffer a loss in that in that way, naming an arduous mission or loss of something that amazing you have something that excites you a lot. Even, you know, on the news, for example, you see something that is exciting.
You know, something that
something, something that you don't want to be associated with. So the number of cameras and very often, especially when you're going through your crisis,
why? Because the remembrance of Allah, Allah brings comfort to the heart, and the arena and
the believers, their hearts find serenity in the remembrance of Allah, and ethically.
And indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find serenity and peace? hard to find? So remember, I was engaged in the thick of a lot of data
increases in half if you were if you weren't, if you didn't really pay attention to things, how long did that take you time? Do you know, some people they finished in solid? They're sitting there watching CNN all day long. Right? And I'm going to comment on this later at the end of the show. And my closer, they were to CNN overload, and then it's time to follow up, okay, okay. All right.
After they play, they immediately rush back to watch more notice, you're not going to miss anything. And whether you watch or not, it's not going to do anything, it's not going to improve the situation. So don't watch it.
Sit in your place and
make the spear let you find peace in the numbers.
So
in the Prophet Ibrahim, he said,
Remember to remember, not only mentally, not only
mentally, but also verbally remember a lot of data and mentioned a lot of the Prophet was in the cave with abubaker. They're sitting in a boat that is watching us. And I don't know if any one of you went to the, to the to the cave of
October, right. But no matter where you stand around that cave, you will see everything in everyone inside that case.
So it is indeed a miracle that the kuffaar got all the way to it, while the profit enable boxes together were inside. And they could have been among some kind of salad blinded. But I was sitting there, he doesn't know what's happening. He's sitting there. And he's all you know, he's panicking because he doesn't want them to find the profit. So he's nervous. And then he looks at the problem like
I don't know.
If any one of them just would look down, you know, at his at his own feet, he will be able to spot
the problem
in a very peaceful tone.
Now
what do you think of two individuals who have a lot in their
life protecting?
Remember, the point here is remember a lot of
the point that I wanted to mention is
Oh, we have many
many more.
Fine, but the point that I wanted to mention was
to call upon a Muslim family to go through a crisis or go through a crisis of some kind. So we could, we would learn, or we would remember to call upon them, crying out to get down on your knees, get out on your face, do not get up in the middle of the night raise, you have quite a lot of pain. That's what the Prophet did.
That's what he did. That was a prophet, because probably coming from a lot isn't of all this
suffering from poverty,
in the
process known as the 950 years of suffering, humiliating, you know,
mockery, and
when he finally gave up on that, and then Allah told him that, that no more people will accept, you know, whoever has already accepted, accepted.
And not you will not going to, you're not going to get more people to believe in your, in your data and what you're calling them to, so
that when he raises on an adequate victory in the novel, oh, I have been bone, oh, Allah, so give me victory.
And the answer came from a lot of
he was saved with the believers, that followed him, and the rest of us, came upon the entire planet.
Likewise, all the prophets who follow Prophet Ibrahim and prophet Lu,
all of them, they pray to me Sorry.
In the Battle of budget,
he raised his hand so high, that
he kept raising his hand that his government, his upper government kept falling off his shoulder.
And he was trying to look kind of down to the extent where a worker started to tell the public, honestly, you have a lot alone that makes you doubt alone, that you calm down.
And the problem was crying on the victory that you have promised me all night, don't let me down.
And then finally,
had to
heal he had a big smile on his face and he said absolutely
glad tidings he said, I was able to see jabril the brain has responded there is there is a reinforcement that is coming from heaven gibreel with with angels coming to fight with a Muslim,
nobody wants to see that at that point.
So the answer key,
this is the effect of this call upon the last panel. This was by the way, throughout the, throughout the process, you will see the role of when that small group of the children of Israel confronted you know, in the story of David and Goliath
or Saul versus Goliath, so with David, David and his army versus Goliath, when the two army basically were facing each other, right, that small group that had david Palmer, David Delta, and others with him, facing this mighty army of Goliath, right, the parameters recorded
when they confronted Goliath and his army
they pray to Allah Allah pour upon a patient that
was a big academica and make it firm one could not have common caffrey and given the victory of positive believers
right
look at him in the being a big
one that kind of
all these who used to fight because of profit and support them their statements their prayer with all that kind of column in them
from our you know badly
no
wait a minute, sorry.
What's up it's apadana and make our feet firmly on the ground. Make it firm, make a stand up for the truth and make it firm help us stay firm
one foot narrow common Catherine and give us victory over the
let us not underestimate the power of
think we should dedicate a whole bunch on the power of
an order.
For those who work with an assistant, you have to go back to the first element that I met a lot. If you don't, if you're trying, if you're experimenting with it,
you have to have this in a more hands on
and make
a victory ask Allah, Allah, to alleviate the pain of the suffering of those who were victimized by this, and ask a lot of how that
was able to do.
Now, these things might seem to be a little passive.
But if you want to do something active,
then you should stand up for the
after you. But in order for you to stand up for the truth and call for the truth and do something and react in the proper fashion, you must have
taken care of the things that I mentioned. And there is a list a long list of other things. But these are the main five points that I wanted to bring, you have to take care of that.
Because if you're off, balance yourself, you're not connected, connected with a lot of data, you are not necessarily mindful of the boundaries of the Sharia, you are not necessarily trusting a lot to Panama or to Allah, you're not connected with the poor? And how are you going to find a solution? How are you going to be? You know, you know, a lot of people talk about being active being but how are you going to react to this based on what if you give up
if you don't pay attention to those five points. That's why it's very important that we pay attention to those five points to help us to take first and to help us focus and find the proper solution.
For the situation.
These are the data points that I want to make. Finally, I would like to just close the polling comments further.
Let's just take it easy.
And let's not have this excessive
and obsessive,
you know, uncontrolled type of reaction and behavior, you know, sometimes, you know, this excessive
exposure to the news into the teens into the you know, it's, you know, one of the most horrible things that you can do to yourself.
So we need to, we need to cut down on that and just make sure that that is control.
Whether you watch more of it or not, it's not going to do much, it's not going to change the situation. So take it easy and just get enough. Another thing, don't don't, don't, don't, don't get update, but let's not get into detail. The other thing is, please do not
forget the importance of objectivity. It is very important to remain objective,
and another powerful ally.
And also, remember some of those, find etiquette and manners that we should keep in mind, especially upon hearing. I'll just give you an example. For example, a lot of times, yeah, even arena harmony in jazz.
Right? Anytime, a piece of news comes to you a lot of how that instructs us in the forehead into a 49. Verify, investigate, make sure that it is true. Don't jump into conclusion. Do not base any judgment on this initial basically, make sure
make sure so don't jump to conclusions, start analyzing the situation and this is what it is and let you know, I think before you have enough information.
So these kind of things we need to pay attention to.
To help us get through this one.
With with our faith
stronger than ever before.
