Transcripts
how much did the companions love the
prophet s wasam right and when he died
how devastated were they and in that
moment for them to
[Music]
believe uh yeah okay I'll select yeah
the one whose friend is picking up her
hand
yesam um how does SA and uh trusting in
Allah looks like in practice when you're
going through a really difficult time
like say you hoped and planned for
something and it didn't work out and now
you're like just overpowered by your
emotions and you try like you know that
Allah has the best plan for you but in
that moment it's just so hard to realize
and what kind like one do to realize
that okay
so I don't want to ask too much because
it's personal right but I'm going to
give you two scenarios not I'm not going
to probe um you were applying for a job
it didn't work out that's a matter of
risk isn't it right and you were really
hoping you would it would work out or
you really hoping you would get accepted
into the university you didn't get
accepted at the University right those
are the those are the kinds of tests
where yeah you could feel depressed you
could feel sad but you can't live in
that sadness and feeling those emotions
at first doesn't mean you don't have and
you can have those feelings and you can
feel those emotions and then you can
pick yourself up and inshah try it again
right so you can have a dip you can have
a low and a high that's that's being
human right Allah didn't create us
Angels but a lot of times these kinds of
questions also have to do with oh I had
an engagement and it broke off or I had
a marriage that ended miserably or or I
had you know some or I didn't want my
parents to get divorced and they got
divorced or something like that right or
I wanted my my sister fighting with my
parents and she's moving out of the
house and I didn't want her to move out
of the house and she moved out of the
house in other words all of those
situations are about people right people
ending up doing things that hurt us or
people doing things that we wish they
didn't do right and there I think the sa
to me at least comes from the stories in
the Quran where people that are much
better than us like yam had no control
over his family he he didn't have any
control ibraim Alam is incredible human
being had no say in his father in his
father's choices right we cannot control
other people's choices sometimes those
choices hurt us deeply and those people
that were much better than us they were
hurt very deeply being kicked out of
your house is not an easy
thing being married to the woman that
he's married to is not an easy thing AIA
being married to is not an easy easy
thing M running away from home is not an
easy thing these people were really
traumatized by many terrible experiences
right but Allah taught us through them
that we can only control what is within
our grasp and we have to learn to let go
what isn't right because in the
end this is what we say when a
strikes whenever something strikes them
they say we belong to Allah to him we're
going to return any problem I'm having
how long is it going to last well as
long as I last I'm not here for that
long and and when I'm when but when I
think about the grand scheme of things
this problem isn't as big as I think it
is you understand and of course Allah
has given us hope
too after every difficulty there is
great ease now you just put yourself in
these shoes how much did the companions
love the prophet right and when he died
how devastated were they and in that
moment for them to
believe the Quran is still there the
Quran is still saying with difficulty
comes twice the ease that's what the
Quran is saying and they they were
devastated they were in tears they were
they were broken but they their faith
allowed them to heal from that and move
forward right and Allah created so much
ease for the um afterwards right
so that's just this life it's just going
to come with
trials and difficulties Allah has made
us mentally prepared that life isn't
going to be easy he said it many many
times and you we all have trials nobody
don't don't believe somebody else has an
easy life because they have an easy life
on Instagram or on Tik Tok right or
somebody just those influencers say I'm
going to talk to you about the blessings
of Allah
subh that doesn't mean there are the
showering and blessings every morning
and they have no issues the moment the
recorder goes off what is that
so we we unfort sometimes we run after
things that are that are not as real
they're actually fake but we believe
them to be real because somebody else
has them so they must not have any
issues they must not have any challenges
you have things that are causing you
hurt the person next to you has things
that are causing them hurt I have things
that are causing me hurt everyone has
them everyone has to deal with their own
pain and so Allah tests people
differently but the problem is we don't
see the other person's trial or we don't
see that their trial ex is exactly the
same as ours so we start saying how come
Allah is not testing them he's only
testing me or how come I couldn't have
it easy like they have it easy you don't
know if they have it easy or not you
don't know how you you don't know that
right so um that these things give us a
little bit of comfort that whatever
trial Allah has picked for me whatever
loss Allah has picked for me whatever
experience Allah has picked for me is
something I'm supposed to learn from
learn and grow that's it keep moving
forward
