What is a word mentioned only once in the Qur’an?
Mufti Abdul Rahman Waheed joins Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro to share insights on this word and reflect on how recognizing your own limitations deepens your understanding that Allah is without any limitation.
Is there any human being in the world that you would forgive for anything that they did to you? There is something that is always greater than you, but you will not fully understand it. What's most important is to know that he is a creator.
SPEAKER_00The fact is Allah took care of you then, so Allah will take care of you in the future. So don't get so zoomed in into your problem right now.
SPEAKER_01As salamu alaikum rahmatullah, everyone. Welcome back to Quran 30 for 30. Alhamdulillah R Ameen. We are in the last 10 nights, 24th juz, and we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to accept from us and to grant us all the ajr of Laylatul Qadr. Allah Ma'amen. A reminder to everyone to please, inshaAllah ta'ala, support Yaqeen. It's especially in these last 10 nights that we get the greatest support from you, both with your du'as and your donations. So if you can, inshaAllah ta'ala uh give automatically over the remaining nights, or you can manually give bidn-nahita'arah, seeking Laylatul Qadr, and of course uh hoping to inspire great work, then bidn nahi ta'h. We invite you to continue to be a part of this, but we count on you, and inshaAllah ta'ara we know that you will uh deliver. And of course, uh Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the one who opens, and Allah Azzawajal is the one who enables. So may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala facilitate more khair. Allah ma'amen. We're blessed to have Mufti Abdrahman Wahid. Mufti with a capital M. Mufti Abdrahman Wahid.
SPEAKER_00Why capital M.
SPEAKER_01Michigan? I mean, just like we gotta like emphasize, man.
SPEAKER_00Like From Michigan, where else Michid?
SPEAKER_01Michigan. Where we're from Michigan, I don't know. I know nothing else, man. Michigan. Mufti Abbrahman. War in Michigan. Mufti Abbrahman, who is not Shaykh Abdullah Wahid, who is not Mufti Abdulhaab Wahid, who is not you know. Uh but no man, Alhamdulillah. How have you been?
SPEAKER_00Alhamdulillah. It's uh amazing seeing you and Shaykh Abdullah, and I I appreciate us being a little closer together at this time. Last time it was we're too far apart.
SPEAKER_01Too far apart.
SPEAKER_00Too far apart.
SPEAKER_01Sheikh Alhamdulillah, you're always uh you're a feature of this uh series alhamdulillah. I mean you always make an attempt and do everything that you can to be part of it.
SPEAKER_00I don't know the like the condition of your heart, but I do feel like I'm the only one that wears a turban, so you gotta bring a token turban on here. Look, I look I could I I looked at all the last many years, I was the only one with a turban. One year you had Mufti Muntasr on once.
SPEAKER_01Look. It's a it's like a DEI requirement. Even though technically that's over in America, you still kind of check some boxes for us. I got you. I know that we're not. Hold on, hold on. We have plenty, plenty of daisies, but we don't have many people that wear turbans. So that's what I'm talking about.
SPEAKER_00The DEI or by the way, I brought another turban to be.
SPEAKER_01How about two? He doesn't change his clothes, Shaykh, but he changes the turban. It's actually funny. He's packed one turban. He didn't pack another outfit for the trip tomorrow. Wallah, that's true. Wallah, that's true. But I love you guys and I love you. I appreciate you guys inviting me down and talking a lot. Sheikh, like to start off on a personal level, what's the name of Allah you find yourself connecting to most these days?
SPEAKER_00These days, Hannan.
SPEAKER_01Okay, explain.
SPEAKER_00You know, it's just uh I feel like Wah Hanan and Mullah Dunna wa Zakah, this is the most important characteristic to have if you want to help somebody. Like we can we can go to college, we can learn all all these books of and sciences of trying to help and empower and coach. But you have to have affection for people.
SPEAKER_01Can you translate Hanan?
SPEAKER_00Hanan means of affectionate love, care. You know, the the it comes from it literally comes from the word, the word where it comes from is beautiful. You know, yeah, the hindu ilahil jidr, the word it's it's like a when a mother gets separated from her child, that inner voice that comes out. You know, if you ever see like a a mother cat, this is actually for a mother, a naqah. And that inner, it's not even it's not even words, but it's just that that voice that comes. And so that affection that Allah has for us. And if you want to so for me, we run, you know, we run a boarding school, we have students, and it's sometimes hard to be affectionate to these kids. Like it's like, but you but that's the that's that is the number one requirement, Shaykh, to help somebody. You have to love them, you have to be affectionate towards them, you have to love, you have to cry when they cry. You have like you literally that's you have to be with them. And so for me, Allah is Hanan, even though we go through difficulties, but He is affectionate with us, He loves us, you know, so the difficulties should not shape our thoughts about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It shouldn't.
SPEAKER_01Okay, come on. Absolutely. SubhanAllah man, like um truly that there there are so many words and there are so many expressions of the attributes of Allah Azza in regards to his mercy and compassion. And each one of them is just so rich and and so uh deeply layered. Um, your uh inability to show uh compassion to um your boarding school students. I guess we should bring up that Shaykh Abdullah's son was a student at your boarding school. Maybe we should talk about that, you know.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, Shaykh Abdullah knows how much I love his son.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no, there's nothing but love there, mashallah. You see the the camaraderie with the young boys there, it's amazing. Oh, it was needed. It was needed for my son at that moment, yeah, mashah.
SPEAKER_01It's beautiful. Tayyib Shaykh. Um, inshaAllah ta'ala, we are now in juz 24. And obviously in juz 24, you have Surah Zumar, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has highlighted in Surah Zumar a very particular element of his mercy. But this is a a juz that goes from Zumar uh verse 32, and then it goes into uh full seedat. And Allah Azza starts off this juz by saying, We talk about how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about himself. Allah says, Who is more unjust than the one who lies about Allah and then denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in hell a residence for the disbelievers? It's very interesting here in terms of how Allah extols himself in this particular juz. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala extols things that human beings would never be able to grasp, right? We're talking about hanan, like things that we could never appreciate, we could never compare to, we could never understand. And the fact that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala starts off this juz by saying what a wrongdoer you are when you lie about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. You know, when you lie about someone good, let's just talk about human beings, right? Like backbiting should be offensive in general, um, slander should be offensive in general, um, uh insulting people, belittling them. All of these are things that are not befitting of a human being towards another. But when it's someone who's good, like it can offend the sensibilities of anyone. Like, how can you be talking about this person that way? Right? So, who is more unjust than the one who lies about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? And who is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? Allah Azzaal tells us in Surah Az Zumar, Arja Ayya Bikitabilla, as many of the Ridmat mentioned, many of the companions mentioned the most hopeful verse in the Quran. Right? Say, O my servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair from the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Verily Allah forgives all sins, verily, He is the all-forgiving and the especially merciful. SubhanAllah, this is something that as human beings, we would never be able to comprehend. We do not have that type of capacity for mercy and forgiveness. Like let's just focus on one element of this ayah. Is there any human being in the world that you would forgive for anything that they did to you? SubhanAllah, like any human being, right? There is a boundary that is crossed either because of the you know weight of the transgression or the limit of our compassion. At some point, there's always a boundary that's crossed, right? Even with the most precious and sacred relationships, right? There are certain elements of that could never be tolerated, right? Nor should they be tolerated. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying, Innallaha Yaqhirud dunuba jamiya, can you imagine like someone who had been cursing God for seven, eight decades, someone who had uh fought against his religion, someone who had said the worst things about him, someone who had harmed and harmed and harmed and harmed, and one moment of istighfar, one moment one moment of forgiveness, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's capacity to forgive is to completely remove the burden of that sin from that person. Not because who that person is, but because who the forgiving one is, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is, right? In nahuhu al-gafur rahim, right? So it's not that you shouldn't despair from the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala because look, you still got some years, because look, you still got this, because you also did these good deeds. It's because Allah Azzaal is capable in a way that we do not have capacity of overruling our despair with his mercy. Right? Now, on that same note, Allah says a few verses later, that they did not give Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala his due estimation, as he deserves to be appreciated. And the whole earth will be in his grasp on the day of judgment, and the heavens will be folded in his right hand, glorified and exalted as he above what they associate with him. So you could not give qadr, you could not properly understand or give due appreciation to his mercy. And here you can't give due appreciation to his majesty, you don't get it, you're not fully appreciating the Lord that you are interacting with. And subhanAllah, one of the signs of Laylatul Qadr, or one of the meanings of Laylatul Qadr, right, is that we are given a night of power, a night of due estimation, right, through reward and things of that sort. So here's here's a deep connection to this: that the angels on the day of judgment, when they would see the mawazen, when they would see the scales, an angel that worshipped Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for its entire existence would say, Subhanaka, haqqa ibadatik, all glory be to you. We did not worship you as you deserve to be worshipped. That angel who did nothing but worship for however thousands or millions of years or whatever, from the beginning of existence until the end, would say, We didn't worship you as much as you deserve to be worshipped. So there's a constant theme here of the qadr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Uh, the the qadr being like how you give Allah Azwajal his due estimation, how you cannot appreciate it, but you can worship him for it. Like you can appreciate it. You don't have the capacity to understand his capacity, but you can worship him and adore him and glorify him for that capacity. And then finally, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, Allahiku kulish, wahua alayla kulish and waqir, that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the creator of all things and he is upon all things, waqel. So he is the trustee of all that he created. Again, his capacity, which you could never appreciate, which you you could never understand. And that kind of brings us to a point. Like here we are swimming in the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, trying to appreciate, trying to understand Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But part of understanding Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is understanding that you can't fully understand, and I'm putting in quotation marks here, right? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that there are certain limits that you have to be able to appreciate fully who He is and what He does that you can't do and that you aren't, right? How do we kind of uh allow that awe of Allah Azwajal to inspire us towards good instead of just like cutting off and things of that sort, you know, shutting down because we're we're never gonna get there anyway. We're never going to be able to appreciate Allah fully anyway. So that's just the overview of how Allah talks about himself in this juz. I'd love to hear your your comments, dear Mashaykh and then inshallah we'll go to our specific uh point of discussion for the day.
SPEAKER_02No, subhanAllah, I mean, really when when speaking about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and understanding his magnificence, I think that's the beauty of Tawheed and the beauty of Islam and the beauty of it being a pillar of your existence. We could say the pillar of Islam, but see a pillar of your existence, meaning that your existence is founded in that. It's founded in the recognition, acknowledgement, acceptance, and struggle to uphold that acknowledgement of the oneness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the profound nature of these names and attributes. So when we're talking about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the fact that he says, just understanding how amazing he is and his greatness. And then on top of that, as you mentioned, you do not have the capacity to understand his capacity. When you first understand, what was this thing? What did it say? When you know when the one that knows himself knows Allah, knows his Lord, because you know your capacity, you know your limitations, and then you say that there's someone that there must be greater than me. If I know these limitations, there has to be a creator of all of these things that have limitations throughout my life. I learn about them. When understanding that subhanAllah, that is when the the essence of Tawheed and the manifestation of one worshiping God based on that knowledge. And that's what's so beautiful about always remembering your place and remembering who you are in this world and then recognizing that there is something that is always greater than you, but you will not fully understand it. What's most important is to know that He is a creator. And that's why it's amazing when the angels said, Ma'adnaqah, the angels they do not disobey Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, but on top of that, you know, subhanAllah, we as human beings, knowing our limitations, also requests from us to call on the one that has no limitations. And that's what's important for that relationship.
SPEAKER_00SubhanAllah, I mean just Shaykh, thinking about that, it's I I I think, yeah, we can never appreciate like think appreciate Allah the way you should be appreciated. However, you could be Hasibu and Fusakum kablantu hasabu. So in you understanding yourself in your own limitations, you know, you then recognize Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. For example, Imam Shafi Ya Rabbi in Adam Adunubi Katirotan Afwakamo in Canada La Yarjuka Illa Mahsen, Famenda Ladiarjul Musil Mujimu. It's like a beautiful way of putting it. Like, Ya Rab, look, I know my sins are massive. They're abundant, they're huge, put it in our own language, but I also know your forgiveness is much larger than that. Right? There's no comparison. And then he says, look, if oh Allah, if only someone who worships you can seek your help, then where are people like me gonna go? Who who have who who sin? He said, Oh Allah, honestly, I had nothing to present. I you know, I honestly sometimes I think these candid conversations with Allah make you appreciate Allah even more and learning how they spoke to Allah. But Malik, ill-rajah, I have nothing, like I literally have nothing to present in front of you except for what you just said in that ayah, except for hope. I I have good assumption about you, Allah. The second thing I the second thing I have, I have three things. You hope in you. I have all the stories and verses and a hadith that are mentioned about your forgiveness. And the third is I'm Muslim. Isn't that something we should be proud of? We're on the right side of history. Come on, that's a for me, that's the most beautiful thing in the world. Shaykh, like, you know, can I just say one last thing with this? He says the same thing. Yeah, Ya Rabbi Keyfa afrua waqada sa'y took. Like, how can I be happy when I always disobey you? But you know, we're from Michigan, so we have a ghetto way of speaking sometimes. Like, but he's like, Allah, afraid waqada raftuk. Well, why wouldn't I be happy? I know you. I mean, at least we can read these verses and understand them. You know, we can appreciate them, but at least waqada raftuk. Like, we're not reading some, we're not reading some book that's been, you know, changed and manipulated over years. We're reading the Quran. And then, Ya Rabbi Keyfa'ah wa waqadaraftuk. Oh Allah, how can I ask you for something? When every time I've asked you and promised you, I've always broken my promise. It's hard to ask someone you've broken your promise with, but you but you're karim. How why shouldn't I ask you? You get happy when I ask you. So I think understanding Allah, uh you may not, well ma'adullah, we may not ever appreciate Him, but I think diving into yourself, you appreciate Allah even more.
SPEAKER_01I don't know where the ghetto part was in that thing. He's gonna get there. Does that come naturally? Oh sorry, it's gonna get it. It's gonna happen, right? It's gonna happen. He's still I think this is like a record where like 15 minutes in, still no poet poetry from Iqbah.
SPEAKER_00I only spoke for two minutes. Come on, you're looking at that clock. I spoke for two minutes.
SPEAKER_01I know it's coming, man. I know it's coming. Beautiful reflections. Um so with that, uh subhanAllah, there's there's let's actually can we break up these ayatana two? I think that's a good idea. Let's break up these ayatana two, inshaAllah. So in a Zumar, there's actually something really interesting. Allah Azza says, It's very interesting, subhanAllah, like all this beauty that you talk about Allah Azzah with in this particular juz. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying, but when Allah is mentioned, the hearts of those who disbelieve in the hereafter is filled with disgust, contempt. Like, subhanAllah, we think of Allah, and you can imagine even the people that are watching this and listening to this, like, wow, ma'akadarullah, like Allah's mercy, Allah's majesty, Allah's greatness, like there's awe, right? These people had disgust, hate, repulsion when Allah Azwajal was mentioned, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't stop there. Because if those who are who are Minduni and everyone is less than him, those who are less than him are mentioned, then they're filled with joy and celebration. Like, how in the world did they get there? So I guess let's kind of start there, inshaAllah ta'ala. Why is it that the disbelievers have a negative reaction to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala being mentioned?
SPEAKER_00SubhanAllah, though, you know, the word shama, that's the root letter. It's only first, it's only you know, this word only comes once in the Quran, Shaykh. This word only comes once in the Quran. It's an interesting word to explain the disgust and you know aversion in the heart, which actually means that it shows on their faces. Just because the opposite is true. Yes, stabshirun is a word that you're so happy from in your heart that the happiness shows on your face, like the way when you saw me. I didn't see that in Sheikh Umrah. Okay, that that that you know, one word it was in his heart. Are you serious? I'm judged. Oh, come on. I love you, Sheikh. Okay, I love you too, man. Come on.
SPEAKER_01So then so the Andshir and the Because I know you're gonna bring some gifts and stuff like that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So it's in the ayah. It's in the ayah why that happens. Alamba Bik'ah, he says right there, La ibn al-akhirah. Khalas. Like people, there's two, he says there's two meanings of this. The moment you you don't have uh the awareness that you have to stand in front of Allah on the day of judgment, because you your pride does not allow you to stand in front of someone greater than you. You know what someone someone's always the loudest person in the room? They don't want to be around someone who can who's smarter than them. Like they always say, if you're the best bat, if you're the best player on the court, you're in the wrong court. Like you should be in a court that someone's playing better than you. If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. But someone who has a little bit of ego and pride will not want to do that. So for them, it's like when they speak about Allah's greatness, like, oh, someone's greater than me? No, I'm not gonna stand in front of him. I I they're just gonna refuse to even hear about him. And so that's where it starts. But you know what's interesting, Shaykh, about this ayah? That Allah al-Bikha'i says, yeah, this is of course in in context of a kuq kufara makkah, but if you look at it in our in our time, he also says, He says that those who don't continue to revive their iman. What happens with them is that you will have people in that that are listening to the shaykh, you'll have people that will feel istibshar with things other than Allah. You'll feel the expression of their happiness and joy. But they will feel like the the word even cringe is the word for the for uh Ishma'azza, right?
SPEAKER_01It's actually a very accurate word.
SPEAKER_00It's a very accurate word. They will feel that when Allah is mentioned.
SPEAKER_01Because Ishma'azza does the heart and the facial expression. Right.
SPEAKER_00It's like you come like, you know, you feel like you're locked in, bottled in in a masjid or in when you're hearing the words of Allah, but when you're not, you feel like very happy. You're just you're a different person. And the reason for that is because one uh element is disbelief and one element is stagnation of your belief. Because you cannot, well, if you in your aytu wukuf al-mah, yfsi do in sah ta'wa, illamidbi. Imam Jafi, he says, like, I see the stagnation of water corrupting the water. So it iman the same thing. So when you look at this verse, you see both elements of it. And and this and another element Allah ibhai speaks about is for us, you know, Ashik. I'm gonna say this very candidly. Sometimes this this ayahs they mention it, sometimes you speak about Allah's greatness, Allah's might, Allah will do this. But the guy's waiting for the next sentence, how. Not every time we have to say how. Sometimes speak about Allah and that's it. Leave it at that. Okay, now that makes sense. You know, sometimes you know, aqal hawatawakal, like like you know, tie the camel and then trust Allah, but we tie the camel so much that it just dies on the way out. Like it's she choked it to death. Like sometimes you see sometimes just speak about Allah, that Allah will do this. Allah will do this, and and sometimes that you see that ishma'azza in people when you're doing great project, yaqeen, like well, this is. The work of Allah, Allah will do it. And sometimes we should make a practice of just speaking about Allah alone without mentioning asbab. Not the fact that we can't use asbab, but you see that this ends, it's like a slope, it's a slippery slope. You keep doing it, and then you end up like these people that whenever Allah is mentioned, they don't want to hear it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02SubhanAllah, that's that's I'm so glad you mentioned that because you know, even this, you know, speaking about sometimes we as Muslims, you know, when we fall into this, sometimes, you know, when we hear the name of Allah when a trial or calamity happens, sometimes we don't want to hear isbir, you know, or Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is going to be with you. And hearing the name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is like, okay, something unseen, it's not telling me how to practically apply it. And that word practically is very, very tricky at times. You know, especially when you're in organizations and meetings and stuff like that, and it's like, okay, this is not practical. No, but when we rely on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, just mentioning Allah and then you know, trusting in Him and ensuring that that is a condition for me to do what I'm doing, I don't rely on the Asbab, you know, and talking about that, and the scholars have been talking about that as well, and relying on the sabba, relying on the means, you know, had the khadrun fit to heed as some scholars mentioned. That is a deficiency in your oneness of Allah and your practice of recognizing the oneness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, especially in a society where it's very advanced, and people sometimes directly or indirectly rely on their faculties and forget the creator of the faculties. Rather, they do not turn to him before even doing something, even making a decision in life. You know, you turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala really and not just saying it and giving it lip service. And also, subhanAllah, when thinking about this as well is, you know, role models. You know, sometimes when we hear things about the deen of Islam, it's like, yeah, I get it. But when someone else that we look up to, you know, or someone that's a sports figure, a movie star, whatever the case may be, when they show up on my computer screen or when I hear about them or hear their voice, it's I light up. You know, we light up, and that's where it's very, very important with all of creation, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala should be preferred over all of creation to where when we hear his words, and it's a process. It's a process. And that's why when you look in the sharia, when you look in the deen of Islam, Allah gives us opportunities for spiritual renewal five times a day, one time a year, one time in a lifetime to renew your spirit and to put things in their proper perspective and to sit alone in your kef or in the middle of the night, you know, to always remind yourself, okay, I've been created for this purpose, and the word of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is supreme, and what am I doing to renew that? As you mentioned, Tajdul Iman. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us from them, inshaAllah.
SPEAKER_01Shaykh, I love what you said about light up, like they light up because you know, like when you're with kids sometimes, you know, you talk about honestly, like you know, you bring up, oh, we got to do the religious part, we gotta do the okay, now's the time for the lesson, like we just want to play. Well, they're not mature enough yet to understand the gravity of Allah's reward and what Allah Azza offers and who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is, right? But when you're an adult and you're still spiritually an infant, right? So whereas like you bring up like Allah and then like, oh man, like Tomad Deen again, and then like can we just go do this now? Can we like, do we still gotta talk about this? What is the diagnosis? And like you said, Shaykh Asant, now you mean Akhirah? They don't believe in the hereafter. So then who is God to me if I don't believe in the hereafter? Exactly. He's just disciplining me all the time. You're just trying to, you're just trying to put restrictions on me because I don't expect a reward from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, right? So that's that's the problem. That's at the heart of it, and this is the the incredible thing about the way the Quran speaks directly to this.
SPEAKER_02I think it's important, Shaykh, just you know, that's a message to parents as well. Like, do we light up in front of our children when the Azan goes off? Do we stop what we're doing? You know, when Aisha mentioned the Prophet that he would help Kenfee Mahitiali, he would help, he would sew his garment, he would milk the camel, but when it was time for salah, halas. Everything else was secondary, Afna. Everything else was.
SPEAKER_00He won't even recognize us. He did.
SPEAKER_02It's very, very important, especially us as fathers, you know, it's it's are we say are we setting that tone and providing that type of framework? And then as the mothers, you know, are we always maintaining that within our children when when Pops is not around? Is that when the name of Allah is mentioned, this is very, very important. I light up, I'm happy. When times are hard, I mention the name of Allah. You know, this is this is very important for children to see on a consistent basis. Because raising children is about consistency, right? Now I love how you said spiritually and infant. Man, that hit. I mean, yeah, especially when you see, you know, brothers our age, you know, I'm saying, starting with myself, you know. When you hear you hear the name of Allah, sometimes the shaitan will play with you. And that's where you have to always mention the name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, remind yourself and renew that Iman.
SPEAKER_00The next ayah sheikh honestly is like it gives us the remedy for this.
SPEAKER_01Go ahead, Rasman. Take us away.
SPEAKER_00No, you tell it. Read the verse for us.
SPEAKER_01No, you take it away, man. You read it.
SPEAKER_00This ayah speaks, looks it's so powerful. Look, so over here, Allah says first he says, the Prophet faced rejection. This ayah before is rejection problems in the society, like whatever you're going through in your life, right? So first Allah says, So He's telling whatever you what the energy that you the brokenness that you have, the rejection that you felt, the problems that you're going through. Well, learn how to heal yourself by saying Allah. Start speaking to Allah, right? So you even see that in kids. My father used to make us do that as children. That speak to Allah in your innocent way. Like before you sleep at night, just speak to Allah. Allah, you're the best, no one's better than you. Allah, you gave me this, no one else can give me this. So when you start speaking to someone, it becomes like you're speaking to Allah, you're conversating with Allah. Allah. And it's what's interesting, Shaykh, about this. I I felt this, so I can say it. Sheikh Omar felt this before. I'm sure you felt this before too, Shaykh. It's like there's three things that make your dua powerful. Zaman, maqan, that's the first two. Zaman. The power of your dua, it it also gets it strengthens when you're in a certain place in front of the Kaaba. You know, strengthens in a certain place. Strengthens at a certain time. Certain time strengthen your du'a. You know the third thing is hal. Allah Marazi says the third thing that strengthens your dua is your hal. You're broke. Sometimes you're so broken. Like you hear when we heard the message of my brother Allah passing away, it's like your hal is so broken. Like I'm hundred percent, like hundred percent sure that du'as that we made at that time, Allah is accepting right away. Like, so you have to take advantage of that brokenness. Sometimes we get so broken and we don't channel that pain is a gateway to Allah's pleasure. Exactly. That pain is. So Allah is saying, right away the Prophet is broken. He's like he's never been rejected in his life. In this state, speak to Allah. And and that's the three states that we are in. Then what how do you speak to Allah? And kinda fatar al-Sama, you're you're Allah, like your your fatar al-Sama. Fatur is such a it has two meanings, right? Fatur is the one the originator, so there's a there's an there's an establishment of a precedence. I love this one because this is what helps me anytime I go through difficulties now. Well, Allah is establishing precedence. Like I'm the one who did this before, I'm the one who originated this. This is the this is establishing precedent. You know what that means, Shaykh? For example, if I if I ask you, Shaykh Abdullah, give me can you can you hook me up with$50,000 loan? For example, and I'll give it back to you in a year. Don't get scared, I'm not asking you, okay? So and so I'll give back to you in a year. And after one year, I gave it back to you. Now, three, four years later, if I ever need it again, a precedence has been established. I can come ask you for it again. Correct, Shaykh Umar? Like Allah is saying it to the Prophet when he was going through difficulty, Surah Duha, Alemjit Kay Team and Fa'wah, Allah re Allah establishes precedence. I took care of you then, so zoom out of your issue that you're in right now. Zoom into a past issue that you were in that Allah took you out of, right? And then you will see hope and solution in it. That's fatar of Samatul. Allah was that's fatar in action. Like that's fatar in action that Allah took you out of, like when my brother Akla passed away, the tears, the like the emotions that we're going through, the brokenness. But Allah took us out and we smiled again. Allah took us out and we ate again. You know, Allah took us out, we had like we enjoyed again. So the fact is Allah took care of you then, so Allah would take care of you in the future. So don't get so zoomed in into your problem right now. It it's like whatever the issues are in the world that that's Fat al Rasma's. Allah could do it. That's why, you know, like uh Allah Mikbar Allah says.
SPEAKER_01I was about to say, man, we we hit the mark. We got five seconds and thirty minutes. Allah Mikbali says, and he finally brings it back.
SPEAKER_00This is beautiful. Okay, okay, okay. Yaqeen maqkam amal pehum muhabbat fatih zindagani.
SPEAKER_01Shaykh Abdullah translate that for me, please.
SPEAKER_00So he says, Yaqeen maqkam. He says, if you have firm conviction, right? Number one, you know what's interesting? Okay, Shaykh Aldalah is a good thing. Sheikh, one second. Sheikh Umr, just because of my Imama and the fact that I go three days, ten days, forty days, you go 40. Well, yeah, he basically, it's we have a stereotype that any hadith or Arabic cult that we say is not authentic. Okay, one second. One time I was reciting a poem in Urdu. Wallah, he had me recite it in Chat GPT to make sure it's authentic. He said, he said, he said, recite it again. And I said, why? And he said, just recite it again. And then he made me like, are you recording Chat GPT? He looked at it. Yeah, that is a poem. I'm like, yeah, Rah. Like, are we are we even authenticating our Urdu?
SPEAKER_01I don't use Chat GPT to authenticate hadith. I use it to authenticate your Urdu, whether you made up a poem or not. I want to make sure you're not doing dhurunta alamakbar. Look, man, see, it's only befitting that the one episode we go over 30 minutes, right? Is the guy that can never do like five minutes after salah or that kind of stuff. And he went. Can you translate the poem now?
SPEAKER_00Yasdin maqkam, Yahdin Mahqam, firm conviction. Okay. Amal Peiham, consistent action. Three things. Muhabbat, the third thing is love. Fatihism, this is what will conquer the world. You know, because if you have firm conviction, you'll never lose hope. You consistently do something, you'll keep getting closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. You love everybody, this will c this will you will conquer jihadimid in the struggle of life. This is the sword. And he morning and evening. So Allah give us yaqeen in this, Allah will open up all the doors for us. Jihad Zindigime. Zindigi. Zindigi. Jihadizime.
SPEAKER_01He tried to say jihad ala zindiq, right? All right. Zakallah Khair, Mufti Sab, you took us over time, but it was worth it, alhamdulillah. At least you brought in the symbolic Urdu. Um, as usual, we have to give disclaimers with you. Uh, we do not promote animal cruelty at Yaqeen. Please do not tie your camel until it dies. So we we have to go. I mean, you said that.
SPEAKER_00I said people talk about it like so much.
SPEAKER_01I've never been around anyone that talked about tying their camel to death. Like I know a lot of that's I have a lot of friends. I've never met a single person that talked about tying their camel to death, Yanny. This is all you got some weird friendship. I don't know where you've been going for khuruj. Some strange parts of the world where they tie their camels to death. Maybe those people do need that one.
SPEAKER_00Shit, you know what I'm talking about when I said that. You don't don't look drink at me, Shaykh. You know what I'm talking about. When they talk about do this and like, all right, well, how about the talk al part? You know, like calm down. Okay. Just love you, Shah.
SPEAKER_01May Allah bless you. We love you back. May Allah Azwajal love you as well. Win over time, but that's okay. May Allah bless you. Inshallah ta'ala, may Allah Azwajal accept everyone's ibn that. We will see you all tomorrow, inshaAllah.
