๐Ÿ’ฌ Introduction and Story Setup

The speaker begins with a recitation and prayer, setting a solemn tone. The story focuses on a woman who had a close relationship with Allah from a young age. Despite facing many hardships, her prayers were always answered until recently, when she experienced a series of difficulties despite increasing her worship. She questions why her prayers are no longer being answered, leading to a reflection on the nature of faith and reliance on Allah.

05:00

๐ŸŒŸ Prophets and Unanswered Prayers

The speaker discusses the trials faced by prophets, such as Noah, who prayed for his son and wife for many years without seeing a change. This segment emphasizes that even the most pious individuals faced unanswered prayers and hardships, suggesting that unanswered prayers do not imply that Allah is displeased with someone.

10:01

๐Ÿ™ Understanding the Purpose of Prayers

The speaker highlights the distinction between dua (supplication) and talab (demand). The true essence of dua is the act of turning to Allah and engaging in conversation with Him. The importance lies in the relationship and connection with Allah rather than the immediate resolution of one's problems. The story of Yusuf (Joseph) is used to illustrate how difficulties can lead to greater good, sometimes not immediately apparent.

15:01

๐Ÿ‘ถ Mary's Trials and Miracles

The narrative shifts to Maryam (Mary), whose life was marked by divine interventions and miracles from a young age. Despite her special status and answered prayers, she faced immense trials, particularly the miraculous birth of her son Isa (Jesus) and the subsequent societal humiliation. This section underscores that even those favored by Allah endure significant hardships.

20:02

๐Ÿ˜ข Facing Humiliation and Wishing for Death

Maryam's emotional turmoil is explored as she faces public humiliation. She even wishes for death to escape her suffering, which is acknowledged in the Quran as a legitimate human reaction to extreme distress. The speaker relates this to the experiences of individuals facing severe humiliation or false accusations.

25:04

๐ŸŒน Honor Through Trials and Connection to Allah

The speaker concludes by explaining that Allah's trials can lead to greater honor and elevation, as seen in Maryam's story. Despite public disgrace, she is repeatedly honored in the Quran. The section emphasizes that true honor comes from Allah's perspective, not from people's judgments. The purpose of dua is to maintain a connection with Allah through life's inevitable struggles.

๐Ÿ’กTrial

Trials refer to the difficulties or challenges one faces in life.

๐Ÿ’กHumiliation

Humiliation refers to the feeling of shame or disgrace.

today's Kaaba is dedicated to a very

play01:07

unique individual mentioned repeatedly

play01:09

in the Quran it's maryam salam on alaihe

play01:12

and the reason i decided to give a haba

play01:15

on some aspects of her life that Allah

play01:18

highlights in the Quran are actually

play01:20

inspired by a question somebody asked me

play01:23

this week somebody came to me this week

play01:24

and said that they've had a very close

play01:27

relationship with Allah since childhood

play01:29

and that they make they've been taught

play01:31

to Allah from a very early age

play01:33

praying tahajud even even you know when

play01:36

they were a teenager and they whatever

play01:38

they ask Allah for something a lot

play01:40

provided this person actually had a

play01:42

pretty tough life you know father passed

play01:44

away at an early age no brothers and

play01:47

this this woman has lived a pretty

play01:48

lonely life and basically decided to

play01:50

really truly depend on Allah and so as

play01:54

she grew and developed in her years she

play01:58

found that Allah miraculously answers

play02:00

her prayers every time she asks a love

play02:02

for something Allah has never left her

play02:03

prayer unanswered so she developed this

play02:06

reliance and this closeness with Allah

play02:07

and would always turn back to Allah

play02:09

anything I mean I need something she

play02:11

goes in praise to Allah cars and

play02:13

she makes draw to Allah so really

play02:15

beautiful connection she had with a love

play02:17

of where the question come from the

play02:19

question came from a fact that more

play02:20

recently she went through quite a series

play02:23

of very unexpected difficulties in life

play02:25

and she decided that she's going to

play02:28

increase her ibadah to Allah and

play02:30

increase her drawers because her

play02:32

problems have also increased so you

play02:35

figured the more your problems increase

play02:36

the more you're going to ask Allah to

play02:37

help you solve your problem and so she

play02:40

does that and she prays like she's never

play02:41

prayed before fasts like she's never

play02:43

fasted before begged a lark rise to

play02:46

Allah sheds tears before Allah like

play02:48

she's never done before but the problems

play02:50

keep getting worse they don't they don't

play02:52

get any better and she starts thinking

play02:54

to herself maybe Allah is not happy with

play02:56

me because before I used to pray and

play02:59

everything used to get answered I've

play03:01

never had this problem before every time

play03:03

I had a need I turned back to Allah and

play03:05

Allah solved my problem but now I'm

play03:07

making dua after du'a after God and I

play03:10

continue to begged a line my problems

play03:12

are not getting solved they're only

play03:13

getting worse what could possibly be the

play03:16

reason and in her mind the reason was I

play03:18

must have done something wrong along

play03:21

must no longer be answering my prayers

play03:23

because somehow I've been disqualified

play03:25

I no longer I'm not in a lot of good

play03:28

books anymore the reason I decided to

play03:31

give this hope is that this is a very

play03:32

common notion that can creep into

play03:35

somebody's mind we make God every human

play03:38

being mixed law and we're expecting that

play03:40

allows in which it will give us an

play03:41

answer we're hoping that a love will

play03:44

solve our problem there are two kinds of

play03:46

draws basically for most of us the one

play03:49

kind of door and I'm talking about the

play03:51

ones we make for ourselves one kind of

play03:53

draw is we want a problem that we have

play03:55

right now to be solved we have an issue

play03:57

we have some some circumstance and we

play03:59

want a large that with them to protect

play04:00

us from falling into a worse problem to

play04:02

secure the good things that we have etc

play04:04

and of course we make dua for our future

play04:06

we make go out for ourselves or children

play04:08

and to take care of things in the future

play04:09

things are good right now you'll not

play04:11

keep them this way preserve what we have

play04:13

here you know these are the kinds of

play04:15

gods that we make for ourselves the

play04:18

thing that I wanted to highlight and

play04:19

I've talked about this in another photo

play04:22

but today so by slightly different on

play04:24

slightly different note and that's why I

play04:25

chose Maryam salami Nadia but the first

play04:29

thing I wanted to highlight is a quick

play04:30

reminder to all of you is that your dois

play04:33

getting answered immediately or not

play04:35

getting answered immediately has nothing

play04:38

to do with whether or not a lives happy

play04:40

with you it has nothing to do with that

play04:43

there is no connection between those two

play04:45

things and even if there was a

play04:48

connection you will never know you

play04:49

cannot guess what the reason is you know

play04:53

you have the case of nooh alehissalaam

play04:56

who was a very loving father he made he

play05:00

made that wa he invited his people to

play05:02

Islam for nine hundred and fifty years

play05:04

can you imagine you think he may draw

play05:06

for his son you think he made the offer

play05:08

for his wife all those years

play05:11

or he didn't care about them someone who

play05:13

cares so much about his nation they spit

play05:16

on him they insult him and he goes back

play05:18

to them and makes the while for them

play05:19

nine hundred and fifty years you think

play05:21

he ignored his own son his own wife all

play05:24

those years of glob and they didn't

play05:27

change isn't that the case does he blame

play05:30

himself yep maybe I didn't do something

play05:32

right or maybe Allah stopped listening

play05:34

to me

play05:35

the reason I'm starting with that is

play05:37

people that were much better than we are

play05:38

much much better than we are

play05:40

we're also they also had similar

play05:42

problems there are parents in the

play05:43

audience that make du'a for their kids

play05:45

and they see that their children are

play05:47

going away from the religion they're

play05:49

going down a dark path and they can't

play05:51

control it and they're making to offer

play05:53

them and they're not seeing that their

play05:55

door is being answered and now they're

play05:56

getting frustrated there's something

play05:57

wrong with me

play05:58

why isn't Allah answering well you're

play06:00

not the first one to be put in that

play06:02

position our messenger are they

play06:04

inaudible Saddam made lots of dog you

play06:06

don't think he may draw for his uncle

play06:08

his family you don't think he considered

play06:12

Abu Lahab when he made the offer

play06:13

guidance and if he did despite all of

play06:17

that loving God Allah sodium with

play06:18

himself tell him in the calendar that a

play06:20

demon except you don't get to guide who

play06:22

you love you know there are people among

play06:25

us they are children among us who wish

play06:26

their parents or their elders were

play06:29

acting in a more guided way

play06:30

I've met so many young people whose

play06:32

parents are in a column explicitly hard

play06:33

on business and the children the son of

play06:36

the daughter is trying to tell the

play06:37

father and the mother please get out of

play06:38

this we're dependent on you you're

play06:41

paying my college tuition you're

play06:43

providing for us but you're providing

play06:44

for us from Kurama income and I'm not in

play06:47

a position to provide for the family

play06:48

right no but this is wrong and then

play06:50

they're told you are being disrespectful

play06:51

you shouldn't talk back to your parents

play06:53

etcetera etcetera now it's the flip side

play06:55

it's the children making Goyle for the

play06:57

guidance of their parents but things

play06:59

aren't changing things are where they

play07:01

were these frustrating situations happen

play07:03

and then on top of that are situations

play07:06

like health calamity not just family

play07:09

problems but health calamity or you

play07:11

can't find a job you have money problems

play07:13

and you're making dua to Allah you ask

play07:16

yourself ice I even did their takeoff

play07:18

last year I kept making draw and I

play07:21

didn't pick my head up from such the all

play07:23

night long and still I have this problem

play07:25

still it didn't go anywhere so the first

play07:27

thing I want to remind myself in all of

play07:29

you is that prophets prophesied English

play07:32

authors from all of them

play07:33

much before us Allah mentioned their

play07:36

draws consistently in the Quran and

play07:37

Allah also mentions their problems

play07:39

consistently in the Quran you don't

play07:42

think for example the that Yaakov

play07:44

alehissalaam the father of 12 sons made

play07:47

law for all of his sons and especially

play07:50

for his son Yusuf when he lost his son

play07:52

Yusuf you don't think he may draw for a

play07:54

use of safety that use of should come

play07:56

back home that he could spend he could

play07:58

look at his beautiful son once again we

play08:01

know that he cried so much he lost his

play08:02

eyesight a bit but I know he lost his

play08:05

eyes over crying over his son and all of

play08:09

those they asked for so many years go

play08:10

unanswered and then they eventually they

play08:12

get answered you don't think that you

play08:15

know the mother of Musa alayhi Salaam

play08:17

when she put her baby in the water and

play08:19

it the river just takes the basket away

play08:22

the basket could flip over anytime and

play08:24

how do you know the basket is waterproof

play08:26

how do you know it's not going to weak

play08:28

how do you know if I'm going to hit a

play08:30

rock and it's done you know and she's

play08:33

throwing something in a river it's not a

play08:35

baby in a river you don't think that

play08:37

mother is making drama

play08:39

and notice the difference in that case

play08:42

in the case of Moses mother she made

play08:44

to a line a few hours later she's

play08:47

reunited with her son just a few hours

play08:49

later by the time of the baby he's

play08:51

hungry for the next meal he's back with

play08:53

his mother and in the other case with

play08:56

the case of use of hot Insadong he was

play08:58

separated from his father but he wasn't

play09:00

reunited with his father for many years

play09:02

for many many years we are going to go

play09:06

through difficulty in life and are all

play09:09

of our problems are not going to be

play09:11

solved because we made a dot to Allah

play09:13

understand the reality of God what is

play09:15

the purpose of God

play09:17

we often consume we often confuse the

play09:21

hell with bulb bulb in Arabic means to

play09:24

ask for something to demand something

play09:27

though our means literally to call

play09:30

that's what it means now to whom I

play09:34

called you I invited you I cried out to

play09:37

you this is wrong when we make dua to

play09:41

allah sometimes in that drought we are

play09:43

making demands it's true we're making

play09:45

requests but we should never forget that

play09:47

all of those requests you know what they

play09:49

are at the end of the day it's a humble

play09:51

slave of Allah turning back to Allah and

play09:54

begging Allah to help him with whatever

play09:57

problem but it's more than Allah solving

play10:00

your problem it's just the act that you

play10:02

communicated with Allah that's the most

play10:04

valuable thing the fact that you

play10:06

actually engage the line conversation

play10:08

that is the goal in the end whether or

play10:12

not Allah will solve your problem maybe

play10:14

immediately in tho is a separate problem

play10:16

and I want to share just a quick thing

play10:18

about that then I come to Mariam sadawa

play10:19

Nadia sometimes you go through problems

play10:22

and you ask yourself what is my fault in

play10:24

all of this why do I have to go through

play10:25

these problems what did I do to deserve

play10:27

this

play10:28

Leah ask you this Yusuf alayhi Salaam

play10:34

accusation and he spent many years in

play11:02

jail not because of something he did he

play11:04

was innocent

play11:05

play11:07

went through situations in life that if

play11:11

situations you'll say life is unfair man

play11:18

believer they don't just say life isn't

play11:20

fair they say a live impaired Mahalo

play11:22

unlighted that him yet Allah says in

play11:24

surah Yousuf Allahu Hana Fuda nominee

play11:26

Allah was overlooking everything he did

play11:28

in his decision every decision that was

play11:30

made for use of Allah was dominating

play11:32

that decision overlooking that decision

play11:34

how sometimes you and I go through

play11:36

difficulty because Allah knows something

play11:38

better is coming

play11:40

sometimes that better thing that is

play11:42

coming is for you sometimes it's for

play11:45

somebody else sometimes it's not for you

play11:47

sometimes it's for somebody else

play11:49

sometimes the benefit of your difficulty

play11:52

will come back to you the return will

play11:54

come back to you while you are still

play11:55

alive

play11:56

sometimes the return is meant to come

play11:59

back to you after you will go back to

play12:01

Allah

play12:01

what happened would you suffer Islam a

play12:04

father was separated from a child it's a

play12:06

tragedy isn't it but imagine if he was

play12:10

never kidnapped he would never be in the

play12:12

well if he was never in the well he

play12:15

would never end up in Egypt if he was

play12:16

never in Egypt he would have never grown

play12:18

up there and been thrown into prison if

play12:21

he was never in prison

play12:22

he would have never met those two guys

play12:24

he met in prison whose dream he

play12:25

interpreted if he never met those two

play12:27

people one of them who got to live and

play12:29

go back to the king and when the King

play12:32

saw a dream a strange dream he would

play12:34

have never said wait I know someone who

play12:36

can help interpret your dream and if

play12:38

that never happened and you know what

play12:40

that dream was seven good years in the

play12:42

country and seven years there's not

play12:44

going to be any crop and he produce any

play12:46

harvest people are going to starve to

play12:48

death if Youssef was not in prison on

play12:52

any salam and then was taken out to

play12:54

interpret that dream at that time there

play12:56

would have been an economic financial

play12:59

social crisis in the country and

play13:03

thousands of children would have starved

play13:05

to death one child suffered for a few

play13:09

years but because of that child

play13:11

suffering a loss plan was to save a lot

play13:13

of families a lot of fathers and mothers

play13:15

from losing their children to starvation

play13:17

because of the plan that use of Hani

play13:19

Salaam came back when he interpreted the

play13:21

dream and interpreted the dream and gave

play13:23

when he became the treasurer I have a

play13:26

friend some of you might have heard of

play13:27

him his name is Robert Davila I asked a

play13:29

sister about him if she knows when she

play13:31

said yes she's heard of him the man

play13:33

can't move any part of his body other

play13:35

than his face he can't move any part of

play13:37

his body what did he ever do to deserve

play13:39

that nothing but how many people have

play13:43

accepted Islam because of his disability

play13:46

how many people have just heard about

play13:49

that and could come back to Allah how

play13:51

many people that were ungrateful in life

play13:53

even though they were Muslim they were

play13:55

only Muslim by name and decided to

play13:57

submit their heart back to Allah because

play13:59

that land is sitting in a bed his

play14:02

suffering his pain becomes guidance for

play14:05

millions of people you understand

play14:07

sometimes the difficulty you and I go

play14:10

through is actually a small price to pay

play14:12

for a lot of pain a lot of good that

play14:15

will either come to me now or it will

play14:17

come to me in the acid I will come to me

play14:19

after I go back to Allah so our laws are

play14:22

not the same as placing an order now I

play14:24

get to Maryam Salah manali and I really

play14:27

when she spoke to me I remembered her

play14:29

because the thing with Maryam Salaam

play14:31

ladi hell was what even when she was

play14:32

young her birth was strange it was

play14:36

mentioned in the Quran not many people's

play14:38

birth is mentioned in the Quran and you

play14:40

know the mother was expecting a son but

play14:43

she had a daughter instead and Allah

play14:45

says they said the Caloocan antha you

play14:47

know which has a multiple multiple

play14:49

layers of meaning but I'll just

play14:50

highlight one of them this boy this girl

play14:52

is my like no other boy this girl is

play14:54

and by the way please remember those

play14:57

words next time any of you if you're

play14:58

expecting a child and that you were

play15:00

hoping and your mother was hoping and

play15:02

your father was hoping and your extended

play15:04

cousins we're hoping it's going to be a

play15:05

son then you have a daughter you

play15:08

remember that Allah didn't highlight the

play15:10

birth of a child like he did the worth

play15:12

of Maryam Salaamu Nadi huh

play15:13

it's an honor to have a daughter it's a

play15:16

gift of Allah to have a daughter and

play15:18

it's actually the behavior of the mushi

play15:20

kun to be upset that you had a daughter

play15:24

one the one who misled them waha colleen

play15:26

his face turns dark and he's depressed

play15:29

he's swallowing his upset attitude

play15:32

because he had it he had a girl girls

play15:34

are a blessing from Allah so it was an

play15:36

honor and to disrespect not only of the

play15:38

gift of Allah but of the ayat of the

play15:40

Quran when you're upset that you had a

play15:42

daughter

play15:42

you should we should be mindful of that

play15:44

but that's on a side note this child is

play15:46

born she's actually given a special

play15:48

place in what was then the central house

play15:51

of Allah and the curia alehissalaam used

play15:54

to take care of her and every time he

play15:56

used to come to visit her to make sure

play15:58

she's doing okay because she was

play16:00

dedicated living in the house of Allah

play16:02

Khulna Muhammad Ali has a Korean Rob was

play16:05

at the end Ahava son every time he'd

play16:08

walk in he'd see fruits food in front of

play16:10

her and he'd say where did you get these

play16:13

fruits these foods don't even grow here

play16:14

and these fruits aren't even from this

play16:17

season these fruits grow in the winter

play16:20

this was going to summer you have them

play16:21

in offseason where did you get them from

play16:23

she would respond harlot woman and Allah

play16:26

these come especially from Allah these

play16:30

fruits come to me from Allah imagine

play16:32

somebody whose drawers are answered in a

play16:34

way that special delivery from the sky

play16:36

of food for this woman and so when the

play16:40

sister was telling me her dolls get

play16:42

answered in life I remembered Maryam

play16:44

phenomena and how miraculously Allah

play16:46

would intervene and provide for even

play16:48

matters like food things that we can get

play16:50

up and get ourselves she didn't even

play16:52

have to get up for that very special

play16:54

child very special woman and so about

play16:58

this woman what I wanted to share with

play17:00

you is later on in life what happens to

play17:01

her when she's a young woman angels

play17:04

visit her tell her that she's going to

play17:06

have a child

play17:08

the first thought in her mind I'm not

play17:10

married how what do you mean I'm gonna

play17:13

have a child let me insist me blush up

play17:15

no man has ever touched me what in the

play17:18

world do you mean I'm going to have a

play17:20

child got a leaky fella who are Ibuki

play17:23

that is how your master declared it

play17:26

that's I'm sorry we're just here to

play17:28

deliver the news we're not here to

play17:30

negotiate whether this is going to

play17:31

happen or not that decision has been

play17:33

made

play17:34

you're having a baby now she's in shock

play17:37

what am I going to do she's going to

play17:40

turn back to Allah and hope that this

play17:42

will not happen tired which it's going

play17:43

to happen and I'll fast forward a little

play17:46

bit for you just so you appreciate what

play17:48

happened to this woman after she had the

play17:50

baby after she had the baby and she came

play17:54

back to her town the entire community

play17:58

that looked up to her as a as a Dada as

play18:01

a spiritual woman as a woman of worship

play18:03

and I bada someone who even the prophet

play18:05

of their communities the kadia had

play18:07

endorsed she grew up under the tutelage

play18:09

is like idiotic Saddam all the Masjid

play18:12

community is standing there she's

play18:15

walking back with a baby and they all

play18:17

start collectively together start

play18:20

humiliating her how could you do this

play18:23

what have you done can you they're there

play18:28

women in the Jamaat today

play18:29

no Muslim woman no Muslim woman can ever

play18:34

imagine being in a situation where she's

play18:36

holding a baby and somebody's telling

play18:39

her that child is not legitimate

play18:41

she cannot imagine that kind of

play18:43

humiliation no Muslim and none of us can

play18:46

imagine that kind of accusation for our

play18:48

sister for our mother for our daughter

play18:50

we cannot imagine that pain that's

play18:53

beyond us for the hue for the Muslim our

play18:57

dignity is greater to us than our life

play19:00

our the sense of dignity Allah given has

play19:04

given us is more valuable to us than

play19:06

even our life and she knows that when

play19:09

she goes back with this baby that's what

play19:11

they're going to say it's one thing that

play19:13

they might be saying it behind her back

play19:15

there

play19:15

in public in front of her in front of

play19:17

her now I want to take you back to how

play19:20

she dealt with this problem because no

play19:23

amount of Doha she made is going to

play19:24

change what Allah has decided Allah has

play19:26

decided that she has to face this she

play19:29

has to stand in front of this and what

play19:31

does she do when the child come as she's

play19:34

about to deliver the child she says yeah

play19:37

hey Effendi mid-table ha ha she says if

play19:41

only if only I could die before this

play19:45

happens hopefully I die giving birth

play19:50

that she's all on her mind because that

play19:54

will be an easy escape from what is

play19:55

coming there is no other place in the

play19:58

Quran anybody ever wishes for death this

play20:01

is the only one think about that why is

play20:05

it there Allah is knowledgeable is

play20:07

acknowledging that sometimes people go

play20:09

through such traumatic humiliating

play20:11

situations where they wish they were

play20:13

dead even that happens that's how

play20:16

extreme her situation became and alike

play20:19

knowledge that unrecorded that in the

play20:20

Quran ya later limit to come the hada I

play20:23

read this analysis in sha like how does

play20:25

she just say that you know our messenger

play20:28

and his motto is sallam told us nya Sam

play20:31

and I and I had aku I had a cool mouth

play20:33

none of you should ever wish for death

play20:36

you should not wish for death that's not

play20:40

something you should say casually and

play20:41

she's actually now wishing for death why

play20:44

because this is an extreme case this is

play20:47

a crazy situation and so but you know

play20:51

that the humiliation she will face it's

play20:53

far worse than death so she says yell a

play20:56

tiny metal table ha ha there are going

play20:59

to be this isn't the Quran for a reason

play21:00

there are going to be people that are

play21:02

going to be in humiliating situations

play21:04

and there's no getting out of it there

play21:06

are going to be people that are going to

play21:07

have to face their family that are going

play21:09

to have to face false accusations that

play21:12

are going to have to face up to a

play21:13

mistake they made in the past who knows

play21:15

and they're going to have to face that

play21:17

kind of trauma and they'll have to find

play21:19

comfort in the example of varium Saddam

play21:21

Amalia but she didn't stop there she

play21:24

said we're going to an SEM Mencia two

play21:27

words nasi an Mencia

play21:29

it was incredible words nasty in Arabic

play21:32

they say file and fitted these to exam

play21:35

the initial so in one could miss yet

play21:37

another cation Sen this is similar to

play21:40

zip it be in the Arabic language you

play21:44

have two kinds of words a zipper and

play21:46

must book nasi and Muncie the first of

play21:51

these words is actually used I wrote

play21:52

this down for you what are you a little

play21:55

cups with Eliza or invalid them for an

play21:59

animal for a goat or a ramp you don't

play22:01

call it Dibley until it's ready to be

play22:04

slaughtered it hasn't been slaughtered

play22:06

yet

play22:06

once it is slaughtered it's called the B

play22:09

it's called module not before before

play22:12

it's called them she uses two words

play22:14

common translations say I wish I was

play22:17

dead I wish I was forgotten that's what

play22:19

the translation says but there are two

play22:20

words of being forgotten

play22:22

one of those words necie n actually

play22:24

means I wish

play22:25

even though because she's away from the

play22:26

mush said right she's not back home I

play22:29

hope nobody ever misses me they don't

play22:32

even ask the question where did miriam

play22:34

go I wish I could be invisible forgotten

play22:37

from people's memories right now and

play22:39

nobody even has the thought of me this

play22:42

is messy nobody even thinks I existed

play22:45

there are people that go through the

play22:47

kind of depression and anxiety where

play22:49

they don't come out of home they don't

play22:51

leave home they don't take a phone call

play22:53

they don't answer text messages they get

play22:55

anxious being around people they're

play22:57

going through so much trauma that they

play22:59

wish they were forgotten as a matter of

play23:01

fact even if somebody knocks on the door

play23:03

they say I wish they didn't remember me

play23:04

I wish I didn't have to face anybody

play23:07

they want to just crawl away away away

play23:09

but just be by themselves this is

play23:11

nacional and i'm and she's hoping

play23:14

already that she died and nobody even

play23:16

comes looking and then later on even if

play23:19

years go by and nobody found out what

play23:22

happened to her mantheon she's

play23:24

completely forgotten there's no memory

play23:26

of her in the future either I hope

play23:29

nobody thinks of me right now and I

play23:31

become invisible in the future also I

play23:33

wanted to highlight this woman's trial

play23:35

because this is a woman of du'a whose

play23:37

dolls used to get answered immediately

play23:39

she used to didn't

play23:41

have to ask for food any news to come

play23:43

and this is the situation of love

play23:45

puttering this is the trial that Allah

play23:48

put and think about that this is not

play23:50

because Allah hates her this is not

play23:52

because a lot forgot about her this is

play23:54

not because Allah wants to humiliate her

play23:56

this is actually all of this ended up

play23:58

becoming Allah honoring her all of this

play24:02

became Allah honoring her what was her

play24:04

humiliation her humiliation was people

play24:06

are going to say you had this child

play24:08

without being married you had a Haram

play24:10

child that's what people are going to

play24:12

say and what was the child's name you

play24:14

know his name was an ISA there is no

play24:17

other prophet in the Quran who when

play24:19

allah mentions their name he honors

play24:21

their parents also accept visa any sapna

play24:27

maryam mary Sapna maryam he's helping

play24:29

them over and over again these are the

play24:31

son of Maryam these are the son of

play24:33

Maryam do you find 100 the son of

play24:36

Abdullah do you find Yahoo the son of

play24:40

his hock is half the son of ibraheem use

play24:43

of the son of your from you know do you

play24:45

find these no no everytime Allah honors

play24:49

that messenger are they insult or not

play24:50

every time but multiple times when Allah

play24:52

will honor that messenger he honors his

play24:54

mother and by the way this is important

play24:57

because for the Arabs when you say even

play24:58

and for the even the somatic people when

play25:01

you say even right after even you

play25:03

mentioned the father's name

play25:05

you mentioned the father's name your

play25:08

last name comes from your father

play25:10

Allah goes out of his way to remind

play25:13

people that no he has no father and we

play25:16

are going to go out of our way to honor

play25:18

that mother any sub number iam everytime

play25:21

Allah mentioned that humiliation for

play25:23

another reason and I close with that I

play25:24

told you last time and earlier on in

play25:27

this whole block sometimes your pain is

play25:29

going to be a relief for other people

play25:32

you're going through difficulty because

play25:35

it's meant to serve a greater cause than

play25:37

yourself and you will be the fabric

play25:39

acharya for them you'll be a way of

play25:40

goodness for them this is the pain of

play25:44

Maryam Salam o naughty every time a

play25:45

woman is humiliated every time a woman

play25:48

has falsely accused

play25:49

every time a woman wishes she was dead

play25:52

then to face what she's supposed to face

play25:54

then she's going to find comfort in Risa

play25:57

in mudiyum Salomon alia and every time

play26:00

she finds that comfort the rank of

play26:01

lidium rises again and again and again

play26:03

and again how along our laws are a means

play26:07

by which we connect to Allah our laws

play26:09

are not a means by which this world

play26:11

becomes heaven this world is going to be

play26:13

full of trials people that were much

play26:15

better than we are had difficulty in

play26:16

life that's okay

play26:17

Dakka Dakka an insanity Chabad we

play26:20

created all human beings in toil and

play26:22

labor and struggle struggle is a part of

play26:24

life the purpose of du'a is to help you

play26:27

and me deal with those struggles and to

play26:28

never forget that Allah is with us

play26:30

whether it's hard times or easy times we

play26:32

Eliza would have not make us people that

play26:34

lose faith and allow so what you'll

play26:36

honor us and make help us remember that

play26:39

no matter how much people try to

play26:40

humiliate you people try to put you down

play26:42

people until you like it buddy I'm

play26:44

Saddam Lunardi huh Allah still honors

play26:45

you there's a big difference between

play26:47

what people say about you and what a lot

play26:49

of things about you because if you go

play26:51

what why what people said

play26:52

then Maryam was the most humiliated

play26:54

insulted person in society and if you go

play26:56

by what Allah says she's one of the most

play26:58

honored women in all of human history so

play27:00

we go by what Allah says Allah is the

play27:02

one who honored us well that kind of

play27:03

nominee Adam we honored the children of

play27:05

Adam may allah azzawajal makers
