[3:53]of the month actually the holiest of the whole month as I

[4:01]it may be on the eve of the 25th the eve of

[4:05]the 27th the eve of the 29th we don't really know but

[4:09]people have this kind of psychology I think the minute they finish

[5:40]me so the Palani you know the salam hamid mohammed rasoolallah mohammed

[5:50]mohammed from tonight onwards until the salah the last lecture which I

[5:54]believe will be on Thursday night so about a week from today

[5:58]we will continue our discussion about Surat Maryam inshallah so far brief

[6:05]recap of what we discussed is the first verse of the surah

[6:15]which consist of those alphabets and we said 29 sewers of the

[6:18]holy quran start with these alphabets and we gave three interpretations although

[6:24]there are many interpretations as to why these alphabets are there about

[6:29]17 of them we only discussed three of such interpretations where we

[6:33]said it may be possible that Allah subhana WA Ta'ala keeps this

[6:39]as a secret something so simple as the alphabets people are intrigued

[6:44]by them they may not know how to explain them so sometimes

[6:49]in this life it is the secret the little things in life

[6:52]that sometimes really make us wonder and ponder and reflect another example

[6:58]or another interpretation of these alphabets is that those who challenge that

[7:04]the Quran is the word of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala Allah is

[7:07]saying here are the alphabets that's what the Quran is made up

[7:12]of words and words are made up of alphabets if you doubt

[7:14]that this is the word of Allah word of God come up

[7:18]with a copy like the Quran go ahead and it's been 1,400

[7:22]years and no one has been able to meet that challenge a

[7:24]third interpretation that we spoke of is Allah subhana WA Ta'ala trying

[7:32]to teach us that every word that we say matters every letter

[7:36]matters so make sure you pay attention to every word that you

[7:41]speak to every sound that you make every gesture everything matters it's

[7:47]all of value and significance so we should really pay attention to

[7:51]our language these are the three interpretations we gave then we moved

[7:56]on to the story of Prophet Zechariah or zakariya alehissallaam as the

[8:01]second ayah in Surat Maryam says Vic meteora Becca a Buddha who

[8:08]Zachariah and mentioned the mercy of your Lord upon his servant Zachariah

[8:12]where we spoke about servitude and the importance of submission to allah

[8:20]subhanahu wata'ala we said submission to Allah is the absolute freedom to

[8:26]be free in the Aaronic definition to submit to allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

[8:32]the more you submit to allah the more free you are because

[8:36]then you're not attached to any worldly desires to anything but rather

[8:41]their pleasures of allah subhanahu wata'ala that submission then we spoke about

[8:48]the importance of optimism and positive psychology always look at things as

[8:55]the cup is half full don't look at the chairs look at

[9:02]the thing half full huh okay so you have to have an

[9:05]optimistic view on life one way to train yourself to doing so

[9:12]whenever you have a problem whenever you encounter a problem in life

[9:17]try not to think of all the negatives because usually we try

[9:23]to focus our concentration on the negative how is your week oh

[9:28]it's just terrible I lost my job for example like this happened

[9:31]that happened we start listing all the negative things in life how

[9:36]is your day oh it's just been miserable you know the weather

[9:38]is so humid outside I'm fasting I can have a drink of

[9:41]water and so on so forth next time what you can do

[9:45]and that's what psychologists recommend it's been shown to be effective sit

[9:51]down on a daily basis and think and write down what are

[9:57]some of the positive things that happen in my life today just

[10:00]couple things to three things good things for example today I went

[10:06]to the shop and somebody held the door open for me and

[10:09]they actually said thank you you know instead of me telling them

[10:12]thank you they actually said that's a nice for example you know

[10:17]today I attended check osama la paz lecture it really cool you

[10:20]know he's laughed a little bit he's funny guy oh that's that's

[10:22]pretty cool ok so these are some positive things sharla positive i

[10:27]hope this is not one of the negative things that you like

[10:30]you know they made my life miserable so try to think of

[10:35]the positive things that happen in your life write them down on

[10:39]a daily journal I have a journal call it back that the

[10:42]positive journal or the journal of positivity then you'll start thinking my

[10:46]you know what actually it's not so bad it's not as bad

[10:50]as I thought it was life is not as miserable an edition

[10:54]try to speak positive things you know at night when you go

[10:57]home those of you who are married that's what this husband or

[11:02]the wife are for just to listen to you complaining but try

[11:05]to tell them some positive things tell them today you know something

[11:09]good happen this happened try to speak of the positive so get

[11:15]in the habit of speaking of positivity this eventually will be make

[11:18]you think in a positive way move towards positivity that's something important

[11:23]we spoke about that is there something positive happening out there in

[11:30]chawla you know I'm not sure how positive is that but anyway

[11:36]so these are some of the things that we spoke about then

[11:40]then we turn to the importance of dua prayer and allah subhana

[11:47]wa ta'ala accepting our doors and prayers and that's when we gave

[11:55]the example of the korea alayhis-salam the korea as we said the

[12:01]Prophet he was married to the sister of Maryam Mary the mother

[12:05]of Jesus ISA alehissalaam it was married to a sister her sister

[12:11]grew old he grew old and they did not have children from

[12:19]the biological perspective it was impossible for her to become pregnant she's

[12:28]passed the age and she did not have any fertility however did

[12:34]Zachary Ali his salon give up no Zechariah alehissalaam one day went

[12:42]to visit Maryam as we mentioned a few nights ago because he

[12:45]was in charge of Miriam Miriam was born as an orphan her

[12:49]father who was a prophet by the name of Imran died while

[12:51]her mother was pregnant with her she was born an orphan and

[12:58]her mother Hannah that smells mother what she gave birth to her

[13:02]she was expecting a boy because the prophecy that was given to

[13:09]Imran that of your progeny will be a boy a man who

[13:10]will spread peace so he thought this is the boy but a

[13:17]girl was born however the mother of Maryam Hannah was a very

[13:20]pious virtuous lady she turned to Allah and said my lord this

[13:24]is a girl this is not a boy however you take care

[13:31]of her you take care of making her a great lady and

[13:34]indeed allah subhana wa ta'ala made prophet Zacharias Zachariah in charge of

[13:40]her upbringing so he puts her in a chamber at the place

[13:46]of worship and we said that at that time among the children

[13:50]of Israel it was not common in fact it was unacceptable for

[13:58]a woman to stay at the place of worship however they made

[14:01]an exception - Maryum Ali has salon because they realize this is

[14:06]not an ordinary child so she was the first woman to be

[14:09]raised at the place of worship in a chamber in a room

[14:15]and the Curia had the key to that room whenever he used

[14:18]to go to visit her and he would find some fruit winter

[14:22]fruit the time of summer summer fruit at the time of winter

[14:25]so he is asking where do you get this from Maria she

[14:31]answers as pursue at al-e-imran the third chapter of the Quran it's

[14:35]from allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala he gives home where he wills that became

[14:38]the inspiration to Zachariah alehissalaam so he turned to allah subhana wa

[14:43]ta'ala and he did to us soon he asked allah through the

[14:50]intercession of our holy prophet muhammad wa ala muhammad sallallaahu made to

[14:58]accept his dua and to grant him a virtuous child and indeed

[15:04]allah subhana wa ta'ala answered his call and the ayah that i

[15:07]just recited was the good news given to Zakaria alia Salaam he

[15:14]was in the place of worship the angels come down and they

[15:17]tell him Allah has answered you draw your gonna be granted a

[15:23]boy not only that this boy's gonna be unique he'll be the

[15:26]first person to be named yeah yeah or in English he's known

[15:32]as John the Baptist yeah yeah and he will have some unique

[15:37]characteristics that people before him did not have he wanted to be

[15:43]reassured my lord true seriously I'm old and my wife cannot have

[15:52]children well the answer came your God created you from nothing so

[15:56]he can create your child from nothing as well God is capable

[16:02]of everything give me a sign my lord the sign was for

[16:05]three days you will be able to pray to me you can

[16:09]talk when you're praying but you cannot talk to people you cannot

[16:13]communicate with people so there's nothing wrong with your tongue when you

[16:17]speak of prayers you can't speak but when you talk to people

[16:22]you will not be able to do so and that's what's the

[16:24]sign and the deed he came out of the place where he

[16:27]was worshiping and he communicated with the people using sign language that

[16:31]God is gonna give me a son so go pray in an

[16:35]of gratitude to allah subhanahu wata'ala and he started praying for three

[16:44]days brothers and sisters zakariya alehissallaam faced a problem he had this

[16:51]issue of not having children when he realized that all doors are

[17:04]shut he had troubles he had problems but who cares if he

[17:10]had spoken to people he knows maybe they would not really answer

[17:16]him so what did the Curia alayhis-salam do when all the doors

[17:26]were closed which door remains open a loss of Hana Hana Hana

[17:33]hypothetically speaking what if hypothetically speaking what if is a courier a

[17:43]Salaam did not have a God to believe in and he had

[17:47]this calamity he had this problem then what would he do hypothetically

[17:51]speaking can just make assumptions you sorry get into depression possibly when

[18:01]you feel that all the doors are closed you're drowning in problems

[18:07]and no one cares who cares who are you gonna speak to

[18:15]and even if someone listens can anyone help you imagine when you

[18:21]have such a feeling then what will that make of you what

[18:24]will happen to you that's when people fall into depression the right

[18:31]in fact I don't know how many of you are familiar this

[18:34]week then use all over the news are mentioning to famous personalities

[18:42]one of them just today who unfortunately have taken their lives away

[18:47]interestingly they say it is not only because of depression it's because

[18:58]of loss of hope people lose hope I was reading an article

[19:03]today and it said the title of the article why suicide is

[19:11]more than a mental health issue more than a mental health issue

[19:17]the leader of the center this for Disease Control is a little

[19:24]lady who's in charge of the Center for Disease Control her name

[19:28]is dr.

[19:30]Anne Schuchat she's the principal deputy director of the Center for Disease

[19:37]Control she says suicide is more than a mental health issue before

[19:42]they used to designate it as a mental health problem now it's

[19:46]far more than a mental health problem why because they say actually

[19:50]50% approximately of those who commit suicide do not suffer from mental

[19:55]health problem they're not they're not depressed they're just people who appear

[20:01]to be fine but they're kind of struggling there they're having issued

[20:05]the one who the famous personality who just unfortunately took his life

[20:10]today in fact all the news apparently he did not suffer from

[20:13]mental health problems but a year ago in an interview he was

[20:17]complaining about his divorce from his wife and how that had a

[20:24]toll on him and apparently unfortunately when he lost hope that's it

[20:30]when he sees all doors are closed and there is no faith

[20:37]in allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala that's when people unfortunately find there is no

[20:39]reason to live so here you can see the significance of the

[20:47]belief in allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala that's one second the significance of realizing

[20:54]and believing and having the conviction that not only will he listen

[20:58]to me but he's capable of answering my call and changing my

[21:04]states that is extremely important I was reading in the news doing

[21:09]some statistics some readings in the United States alone only in the

[21:14]United States about two hundred forty five thousand people took their lives

[21:21]away in 2016 two hundred forty five thousand people in the United

[21:31]States alone took their lives away in 2016 I was trying to

[21:36]put some perspective to these numbers so I actually went out and

[21:40]I tried to see what is the population of Dearborn Dearborn's population

[21:45]is ninety five thousand you add Dearborn Heights that's another fifty five

[21:52]thousand you add Ann Arbor oh that's 120 thousand so basically you

[21:57]put Dearborn Dearborn Heights and Ann Arbor a-- all three of them

[22:01]are wiped out in one year can you imagine that's just to

[22:06]give you a perspective of what we're talking about here that's one

[22:12]year that's when people lose hope people just realize that there is

[22:18]nothing out there so what does religion do do people who follow

[22:24]religion live a happier life that's in question psychologists ask that question

[22:31]what did they find what did they come up with in a

[22:39]paper that was published in 2009 by Baylor University now Baylor University

[22:44]is at a Christian University okay nonetheless let's take a look at

[22:49]this but then I'll move you on to another paper that will

[22:51]support what these guys found out in 2009 this paper that came

[23:00]out in Baylor University by stark the author's name was dark he

[23:07]finds out that those who are religious are indeed happier that they

[23:14]found out from the research that they did in addition what they

[23:23]found interestingly listen to this the people who felt that they are

[23:28]close to Allah no it's just perspective so they asked how close

[23:31]do you think you are to God how near do you think

[23:34]you are to God are you near God like you think he's

[23:38]close to you is he somewhat close to you is he far

[23:40]from and so on so forth those who answered that we believe

[23:47]God is very close to us those lived happier those who practiced

[23:51]religion were more happy than those who did not practice religion so

[23:57]those who pray those who fast those who adhere to the laws

[24:07]they live a happier life for two reasons they suggest one reason

[24:12]is because they feel that they have a connection to Allah to

[24:16]God there is a connection to God so when they have a

[24:22]problem what do they do they pray we know as followers of

[24:26]Islam that when we pray God listens to us and God answers

[24:33]our prayers I mentioned this few nights ago and I repeat it

[24:37]now again if you think back from ten years ago until today

[24:43]from 10 years until today think back think of how many problems

[24:48]you faced ten years ago and how many of them do not

[24:53]exist anymore how many of these problems are gone fellows they've been

[24:57]resolved or they're over in other words Allah answered you - ha

[25:02]Allah answered you dog you may had a problem for example financially

[25:06]but now it turned alerts over you may had a political problem

[25:13]but now it's finished you may have had a health issue that

[25:17]you know someone got resolved and so on so forth if you

[25:23]think about it many of our bras are answered by allah subhanahu

[25:28]wa'ta'ala yes some allah subhanaw taala keep out of his wisdom and

[25:33]I mentioned this concept of wisdom verses mercy so I'm going to

[25:39]repeat this again okay last night what did I ask you guys

[25:41]to do do you remember write down write down that's right make

[25:47]a wish list think about this wish list a year from today

[25:50]by next a month of Ramadan I may not be here amongst

[25:55]you but say oh the Sheikh I remember you know it's really

[25:57]nice Sheikh who made me funny you know you were the funny

[26:01]Sheikh I looked at this and pretty cool yeah you know what

[26:03]out of my wish list couple items were answered one item was

[26:09]answered that's pretty cool that's good think of it that way when

[26:13]we turn to Allah Allah listens to us answers us this according

[26:19]to research makes people feel happy their close connection to Allah so

[26:23]those who follow their religion adhere to their religion they are happier

[26:28]than those who don't follow the religion second they say it is

[26:31]the connectivity the connection look at you right now brothers and sisters

[26:34]look at you you're sitting amongst people some of you may have

[26:38]some friends you're sitting down with your friends you talk to some

[26:41]people there masha'Allah look at that friendship there look at that friendship

[26:44]there masha'Allah wonderful it's that connection when you guys come here to

[26:51]the mosque listen to the lecture sometimes when you have a problem

[26:58]you might approach the shape or the religious speaker and you say

[27:01]you know what if I would like to discuss with you an

[27:04]issue that makes you feel good speaking about a problem is good

[27:13]instead of keeping it to yourself psychologists say it is good to

[27:16]speak to your problem about your problem to someone whom you can

[27:19]trust having a good friend someone whom you can trust speak to

[27:25]them about your problem don't just keep it inside this helps you

[27:28]with it so that social connection also plays a part so this

[27:34]is from a research out of Baylor University now let's move on

[27:40]to Colombia versity in New York in 2009 again in the Journal

[27:44]of religion and health they spoke about a religion and suicide in

[27:48]fact that's the title of the paper religion and suicide the first

[27:55]author is Deering Robin gearing and then there's a second author Dan

[28:00]elizalde what they say is the following they tracked the rates of

[28:06]suicide amongst different religions and they found that those who are religious

[28:12]and those who practice religion those who adhere to the religion they

[28:18]are far less likely to commit suicide than those who do not

[28:23]some of the reasons they suggest is one all religions prohibit suicide

[28:34]so when people practice religion when you're practicing faith and you read

[28:40]the Quran for example the Quran says do not kill yourself do

[28:43]not commit suicide because you're practicing faith you will start to adhere

[28:48]to this you will subconsciously abide by the word of allah subhanahu

[28:54]wata'ala actually you know what something interesting brothers and sisters researchers found

[29:02]that people subconsciously associate with God even those who claim to be

[29:09]atheists very interesting research I don't get you know off track here

[29:12]but I'll just share this very quick topic very quick thing with

[29:15]you they got a whole bunch of words but you know like

[29:21]Scrabble you know Scrabble you need to come up with words okay

[29:24]so they got two groups of people they divided them into group

[29:29]they gave one group whole bunch of worlds the other group another

[29:33]bunch of words one of those two groups some of the words

[29:36]that had that they had had religious connotation to them for example

[29:44]God the Bible so on so forth some words with a religious

[29:47]connotation once the you know scrambled everything they put the words together

[29:53]they managed to no they put the word God together they put

[29:56]the word Bible together they put the other words together and so

[30:01]on so forth then interestingly they asked him a question this question

[30:08]had to deal with some moral issue they found that the group

[30:12]that scrambled the word God they put the word God together they

[30:18]put the word Bible together these religious connotation they were more likely

[30:26]to adhere to the moral value than those who scrambled the words

[30:29]without the word God and Bible and any religious connotation interestingly they

[30:35]say although the majority of that group who scrambled the name God

[30:41]and everything the majority of them declared themselves as atheist unbelievers but

[30:47]the belief in God is sub-conscience their relationship with God was supplemented

[30:55]they say they saw the name God they subconsciously associated with it

[31:00]that had an impact on their answers when it came to moral

[31:03]values it's very interesting people subhanAllah this is what the Quran refers

[31:09]to fit Allah Tala Latifah Taba NASA alaihe this is the natural

[31:16]instinct of the human being a man comes to imam sadiq ali

[31:18]salam our sixth Imam he tells him you have no vassal Allah

[31:24]can you tell me a very solid proof that there is a

[31:26]God don't use Quran don't use some of these heavy stuff please

[31:31]give me something solid Imam Ali Salaam Ashton he said what do

[31:37]you do for a living he says I travel I'm a traveller

[31:41]I'm a business person so I travel a lot have you been

[31:45]to a ship obviously of course I traveled my ship all the

[31:48]time did you ever encounter a storm oh yeah that happened has

[31:54]it happened once where the storm became so heavy the waves became

[31:57]so high that the ship started rocking back and forth he said

[32:01]yeah has it happened where the ship was rocking hard that you

[32:08]started feeling that's it it's over we're gonna drown it's finished he

[32:14]said yes does he said at that point when you lost hope

[32:19]with all the natural resources did you feel that deep in your

[32:28]heart there is a connection between you and some power and man

[32:33]looks at the Imam and says yes he says and when you

[32:41]felt that connection did you feel that power is capable of saving

[32:47]you the man looked at the Imam and said yes he said

[32:55]that's God when you lost all hope from the natural resources when

[32:59]all the doors now are shuts Cullis you're in the middle of

[33:04]the sea and the waves are taking your boat rocking it back

[33:07]and forth it's over even then when you lost all hope you

[33:14]turn to God Almighty Allah subhana WA Ta'ala you know what's interesting

[33:19]subhanAllah I had I have a friend of mine once who says

[33:21]I was sitting on a plane from Europe to North America and

[33:27]we were crossing over the Atlantic Ocean next to me was a

[33:30]person who was an atheist he says I don't believe in a

[33:33]God you know there's nothing else my friend asked this person he

[33:37]told him you know what you know we're in a plane right

[33:41]now on top of the Atlantic underneath houses the ocean he says

[33:44]yeah he says you know what do you think is gonna happen

[33:49]like you know how would you feel you know let's just think

[33:51]you know what if we encounter this really heavy turbulence and the

[33:56]captain comes and says guys we're falling into the ocean what would

[34:02]you do he said god help us then he says I will

[34:13]pray but he said well were we just a second I thought

[34:18]you're an atheist he says well at that point you know it's

[34:21]over right at that point there is no hope so it's over

[34:26]so interest subhanAllah when my friend told me the story I remember

[34:32]the story we mama saw that Alice and I'm exactly the same

[34:34]story when people really feel desperate when they feel that all the

[34:39]doors now in the middle of the ocean or in the middle

[34:42]of the air on top of the ocean and it's finished it's

[34:45]over the pilot comes up and it's your worst nightmare he says

[34:49]we're falling down that's it what would people do at that point

[34:52]tell us it's over unless you have hope in allah subhanahu wata'ala

[35:00]you have hope in allah allah can't save you a few years

[35:02]ago I remember there was a plane a civilian plane that fell

[35:07]this was about a decade ago maybe even more a civilian plane

[35:10]that fell in Yemen in Yemen there was an award the ocean

[35:15]fell there all people died except one girl one girl who was

[35:17]17 year old Subhan Allah Allah saved that one girl I don't

[35:22]know what droite she prayed on Leila - al Qaeda what -

[35:26]uh she did that the whole plane died except her she was

[35:29]found hanging on the tail wing now somehow she made it she

[35:35]climbed out of the plane onto the tail wing so she was

[35:36]there and they found her finally they say they saved her the

[35:42]only person who has survived subhanim allah scapel of saving you so

[35:49]what they find is most religions prohibit suicide and therefore people who

[35:57]are religious they adhere to the teachings of the religion that's one

[35:59]reason second they say people who are religious they have that again

[36:07]that connection they come and they talk to people about their problems

[36:09]they discuss their problems that makes them feel better that makes them

[36:14]feel good about it third and this is a third interest one

[36:18]listen to this one they say most religions give negative consequences about

[36:25]those who commit suicide in other words this is not the only

[36:30]life we have a Hereafter the belief in the hereafter is extremely

[36:34]important in research that was done out of the University of Oregon

[36:44]they found that in countries that believe in a very merciful God

[36:49]God will forgive everything we do versus in countries that believe in

[36:55]a punitive God like God will punish us if we make a

[36:59]mistake he'll punish us they found that the crime rate in the

[37:02]countries that believe in a merciful God is much higher than in

[37:07]the crime rate in the countries where they believe in a punishment

[37:10]that God will punish me if I murder for example if I

[37:17]do something wrong there will be a consequence so so interestingly the

[37:20]title of the article is why they believe in Hell is so

[37:24]important that wasn't the title of it's important to believe they found

[37:32]it is really important even in this world people will actually watch

[37:37]their behavior and watch their attitude and watch their actions when they

[37:41]believe there is a consequence in the hereafter so what we believe

[37:45]as Muslims that this world is not the be-all at the end

[37:49]of whenever we are stuck with problems who knows what is it

[37:53]recommended to say when you're struck with a problem what is there

[37:55]is a phrase from the Quran there's an ayah Allah teaches us

[37:59]when you have a problem recite this ayah what is it you

[38:04]know you're close mmm close in surah al-baqarah Hinton's Asante that's right

[38:17]well that's Shira saw buried and levena either a father Thomas Eber

[38:22]Paulo in a lillahi wa inna ilayhi Rajjo Allah it can Olay

[38:29]him salawatu and Minerva be him Ramallah eka Holman what I do

[38:32]and give good news to those who are patient when those who

[38:36]are when struck when calamities what do they say in Allah well

[38:39]in na la he returned to God we belong and to him

[38:44]we shall return in other words this world is not forever how

[38:48]long am I gonna live here for 50 years 60 years hundred

[38:53]hollows I'll just need a me know I'll be patient for these

[38:55]few years but I'll get my reward and the Hereafter I'll get

[38:59]my reward then so we'll always have that optimistic view this pain

[39:04]is not gonna last forever Haruna Rashid who was a bossy Calif

[39:13]and he was a nasty a bossy calif i mentioned that he

[39:15]is the one who ordered the imprisonment of imam al cabone alehissalaam

[39:19]and later ordered his poisoning our seventh imam imam al coffin Harun

[39:27]al-rashid when he imprisoned Imam all-carbon imam will carve on ELISA Lam

[39:32]was in the prison they heard him praying to Allah reading adora

[39:37]saying my lord I have long as you for privacy so that

[39:46]I can worship you all alone and now you've given me this

[39:50]privacy so thank you your Allah for giving me the opportunity to

[39:59]worship you without distractions that's how he views prison prison to imam

[40:07]al karim alehissalaam is an opportunity to worship allah without distractions if

[40:14]you have that kind of faith that kind of hope that kind

[40:19]of love to Allah would you feel depressed even when they put

[40:22]you in four walls no a person was put in prison again

[40:32]during the Abbasi time and these prisons were nasty during the Abbasi

[40:36]times the Abbasid caliphs they had prison systems that were very nasty

[40:39]they were like underground under underground you don't have any light you

[40:43]can't tell day from night prisons where you have to stand because

[40:48]there's no room to sit just have to stand up like this

[40:50]that's the kind of prisons that Abbas is designed and designated and

[40:53]mostly was for the Shia most of the shower put in such

[40:59]prisons many of the Shia I would come out of the prison

[41:00]blind because once they keep them there in darkness they don't have

[41:05]they don't see you light for six months one year two years

[41:07]then when they come out tell us they've lost their eyesight so

[41:12]that was the persecution one person was put in such a prison

[41:16]along with some other people those other people some of them died

[41:19]in the prison some of them lost their mind in the prison

[41:24]imagine being in this what they call solitary confinement which accorded to

[41:28]some countries in the world they say it is illegal to have

[41:32]solitary confinement they're not negotiating it nonetheless except one guy one guy

[41:37]comes out he's fine norm yes he lost his eyesight because of

[41:41]the darkness but he's fine they told him how did you survive

[41:48]he says because of the Quran he says all I did from

[41:50]day till night I mean that's again figuratively because he can't tell

[41:53]day from night it's read the Quran he memorized the Quran he

[41:58]says from the morning whenever I wake up I start reading the

[42:01]Quran until I fall back to sleep again and then I wake

[42:05]up again I read the Quran again the Quran kept me company

[42:08]and kept my sanity to believe in Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala so

[42:17]brothers and sisters like prophet zechariah alayhis-salam we learn that belief in

[42:22]allah subhanaw taala is extremely important whenever you think the doors are

[42:30]closed his door is always open this feeling gives us hope optimism

[42:41]when someone says who cares you apply my god cares my Lord

[42:45]cares my Lord hears me he answers me and there are numerous

[42:54]cases in the Quran brothers and sisters if you read so many

[42:58]stories in the Quran like the story of Prophet Musa Moses when

[43:05]the Pharaoh heard that there will be a boy who's going to

[43:08]be born and he's going to overthrow his kingdom what did he

[43:14]do do you guys know what did he do exactly he gave

[43:17]an order kill every boy who's born every child every boy he

[43:21]wait for a pregnant woman the minute she delivers if it's a

[43:27]boy kill him if it's a girl leave her alone they killed

[43:31]twenty thousand boys twenty thousand were killed but finally the boy that

[43:37]he wanted where did he end up in his own palace under

[43:45]his nose he raised him subhanAllah yeah if this were in the

[43:49]Quran you would think this is a fairy tale it's got to

[43:53]be a fairy tale how is that possible well Allah makes it

[43:57]possible so I unwanted but Allah wanted and whatever Allah wanted prevails

[44:02]they killed twenty thousand boys and none of them is the one

[44:10]the one grows up in his own house he raises him read

[44:13]the story of prophet Yousuf Yousuf alehissalaam think about his brothers throw

[44:20]him into the well into the world what are the chances of

[44:24]you being saved you thrown into the well in the middle of

[44:31]the desert all alone it just so happens that a caravan walks

[44:34]by at that moment what if they came by a month later

[44:40]he would have been dead it just so happened they came by

[44:43]at that time it just so happened they wanted water they saying

[44:47]you know they take him out and they find him there what

[44:49]a coincidence well how many coincidences then they take him to Egypt

[44:55]out of all the people who would buy him in Egypt it

[44:56]just so happens that it is one of the Kings advisers who

[45:02]buys him why didn't anyone else buy him he grows up there

[45:08]it just so happens that the Kings wife becomes obsessed with him

[45:12]it just so happens he end up in the prison and then

[45:16]in the prison it just so happens that the King sees a

[45:18]dream and they remember him because of the dream of the king

[45:26]and he comes out of the prison becoming a adviser of the

[45:29]king himself it just so happened a drought happens his family comes

[45:37]he recognizes them it just so happened I mean what at how

[45:40]many coincidence honestly if you eat fewer to reach through its use

[45:43]of and if it's not in the Quran you say mashallah what

[45:45]a great fiction what a great fictional story but Subhan Allah this

[45:52]is what Allah does the brothers of Yousuf wanted something Allah wanted

[45:58]something else the whole thing happened subhanAllah so that Yusuf can come

[46:06]to Egypt and save millions of people from famine and drought do

[46:10]you think about it that way because of Yusuf's interpretation of the

[46:15]dream of the king they managed to save their people millions were

[46:20]saved or thousands hundreds of thousands were saved from the drought from

[46:25]the famine because of the interpretation of you sir aleena see Subhan

[46:30]Allah and how many such stories do we have in the Hall

[46:37]you read them read the story of us Hubble keV the people

[46:39]of the cave who turned against their king and they go in

[46:44]a cave now they're all alone allah subhanaw taala makes him sleep

[46:48]309 years indicate how would that happen allah subhanaw taala destitute and

[46:53]they wake up after 309 years just so that people can find

[46:55]out about their story and they become a sign it is also

[47:02]said that they will be among the Companions of Imam al-mahdi ailment

[47:06]of our agile Allah Ta'ala for a Jewish relief those people of

[47:09]us Haruka they will wake up and they will join the camp

[47:15]of the Imam and it has said when many of the Jews

[47:17]and the Christians see us horrible calf because they know their stories

[47:23]and when they see Jesus peace be upon him ISA alaihi Salam

[47:25]they will all believe in Imam al-mahdi agile Allah Ta'ala philosophically that's

[47:29]one of the means where peace will be united people will be

[47:33]united through peace in a peaceful means because the leadership will follow

[47:36]the imam salam ala Han so you see brothers and sisters there

[47:40]are numerous examples in the Quran in numerous examples not one not

[47:47]two not three several of cases that you think it's impossible but

[47:52]to Allah it is not impossible that faith in Allah that belief

[47:58]in Allah makes one feel tranquility peace hope and hence a person

[48:06]would not consider - god forbid take his life away or her

[48:11]life away because there is always someone who cares and someone was

[48:15]capable of helping me not only does he care he can help

[48:22]me he can change my situation I'll finish with this story we

[48:27]have a Shia scholar by the name of Allah la etapa Rossi

[48:32]may Allah bless his soul he wrote an interpretation of the Quran

[48:34]one of the commentators of the Quran the interpreters of the Quran

[48:40]is a lie Lama policy the story for him writing this Quran

[48:45]or the interpretation of the Quran goals he got a heart attack

[48:53]one day he was a scholar he got a heart attack they

[48:56]came they checked his pulse they couldn't see any pulse they couldn't

[49:00]feel pulse so they declared him dead they washed his body put

[49:10]the cap on the shrouding pray salat we'll make it on him

[49:14]they went and they buried him in the middle of the night

[49:22]he wakes up it turns out he wasn't dead I asked a

[49:26]cardiologist about this he says yes there are cases when the heart

[49:34]rate becomes so low that a person appears dead and without the

[49:38]tools of the technology of today they would not be able to

[49:41]tell because when they put their hand to take your pulse you

[49:43]don't have a pulse or they cannot feel a pulse because the

[49:46]pulse is just so low so apparently this person experienced one of

[49:56]those episodes where his heart did not really stop but it became

[49:59]very slow for whatever reason something happened that was not detectable by

[50:05]the means that they had back in those days he wakes up

[50:10]now what will you do literally you're 6 feet under wrapped in

[50:15]your kapphahn and the sand is all over you what are you

[50:23]gonna do he tries to open open his cafe and he tries

[50:28]to get up but he couldn't all the sand Aldus now that's

[50:34]a state of desperation that's a state of desperation what does Allah

[50:41]say in the Quran and manageable Mathare a Dada reaction would sue

[50:49]or one who answers the call of the one in desperation and

[50:54]removes the calamities when you are in desperation you pray in a

[51:00]state of desperation Allah answers Allah will answer you he's in a

[51:09]state of desperation he finds his moments are final every second matters

[51:18]at that point when all the doors are locked when everything is

[51:27]closed there remains one who cares and one who can help he

[51:32]turns to Allah he says my lord I make a vow a

[51:38]promise another if you save me from this I will write an

[51:48]interpretation of the Quran I will interpret the Quran he's they're making

[51:54]dois he's six feet under praying to Allah subhana WA Ta'ala surrounded

[52:00]by sand surrounded by the worms that's where he is and by

[52:07]the way that's a reality that all of us will experience eventually

[52:11]sooner or later we will all go six feet under one day

[52:19]and we'll be surrounded by the worms that they will come and

[52:22]chew our body and then Allah will ask us what did you

[52:27]do in this world that you were living in those 50 years

[52:30]60 years 30 years whatever it is what did you do answer

[52:37]me tell me why did you waste the time playing games doing

[52:39]whatever it is and not praying salat on time why were you

[52:45]wasting time gossiping hurting other people finding yourself better than everyone else

[52:50]well are you better than anyone else now guess what you died

[52:52]like everyone else and here you're buried just like everyone else what's

[52:57]the difference between you and anyone else whatever you are a king

[53:02]or you're the poorest man in the city both of you now

[53:04]are six feet under what's the difference nothing except our deeds now

[53:08]our deeds will speak to us all of us so let's really

[53:14]think about that moment because it's a real moment a moment of

[53:16]reality what have we prepared for our era he makes a draw

[53:22]all of the sudden he hears some noise someone is digging back

[53:33]in those days unfortunately there were people who used to steal strout's

[53:40]steal Kevin's when they hear of a May 8 you know somebody

[53:43]who's died they attend funerals unfortunately some people had that kind of

[53:50]a I don't know if you call it a job or whatever

[53:52]it is that they had unfortunately they attend funerals and they would

[53:57]find where did this person get buried so what they do at

[54:01]night they come and they steal their calf and they go sell

[54:03]it whatever price they get for it that's that's how they were

[54:08]used to make their living it just so happened that one of

[54:12]those individuals starts digging and this individual is about to get the

[54:18]lesson of his life the story does not say what happened to

[54:31]this individual after this incident I don't know if he ended up

[54:34]in that same grave later on or what happened whatever happened so

[54:39]he's digging now the grave thinking that there is a nice wonderful

[54:44]new shroud Renuka fan that he's gonna have a lama paparazzi figures

[54:54]it out he understands he realizes what's going on but he keeps

[55:01]quiet doesn't make a noise doesn't make a move until this person

[55:06]digs out the grave and reaches his body as that person wants

[55:14]to take the calf and the debt is resurrected back alive again

[55:24]while hamdulillah this man shouts get scared and says my god the

[55:33]Dead is back and he runs away from the grave a llama

[55:37]pop of se gets up wearing his Catherine comes home knocks the

[55:44]door can you imagine what subhanAllah he goes back and indeed he

[56:11]fulfills his promise he writes that the fear of the on the

[56:14]turf seer of Allah llama paparazzi that's being used until this day

[56:19]and age people refer to him into his interpretation so my brothers

[56:29]and sisters the door is never closed when someone tells you you

[56:35]have troubles who cares tell them my Lord cares God cares and

[56:38]he can answer me and he can change my situation and he

[56:44]can save me like he saved all those people before me just

[56:48]like he saved prophet yunus jonah from the stomach of the whale

[56:54]in the middle of the night in the darkness of the ocean

[56:57]he saved him Allah can save me so say this word or

[57:02]this say this ayah of prophet yunus repeatedly because it says when

[57:06]you say it in sha allah allah will remove the calamities away

[57:10]from you when prophet yunus jonah was in the stomach of the

[57:13]whale he made this Torah he said subhanak a la ilaha illallah

[57:19]la ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu mina voila mean la ilaha
