Help comes for the Muttaqoon

Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, today we are living in a world where there is a constant escalation of violence and war and strife and all kinds of things and Muslims seem to be in the receiving end of everything. So the question that I get asked, you know, wherever I go is what is the solution? What should we do? If I ask you a question, I say if you have a fire which is happening, what is the fastest way of putting out the fire? The fastest way is to cut the oxygen, right? Throw something over it, an asbestos sheet over it or throw a thick blanket over it or something, cut off the oxygen. It will die off. Similarly, if there is the electric wire, high-tension power wire, if it breaks and falls to the ground, there was a time when they did not have automatic circuit. There was a time when they did not have automatic circuit. There was a time when they did not have automatic circuit breakers. So this wire, live wire would be lying on the ground. Anyone touches it, it's gone. Now they have automatic circuit breakers. As soon as the wire breaks and falls on the ground, the electricity, the electric supply cuts off. So the wire is no longer electrified and it's a life-saving device. Now what are we looking at here? We're saying here that if there is a problem, to solve the problem, you have to go to the root. Why is this problem happening? If you don't go to the root of the problem, you try to keep on solving the problem by looking at symptomatically, it will never get solved. Now what is the root? As far as we are concerned, the kitab of Allah is crystal clear with regard to problem solving. So the first question I ask myself and I ask you to ask yourself is, who can solve our problem? Very simple. Whether it's a domestic problem in your house, whether it is a problem with your children, whether it's a problem in your marriage, whether it's a problem in your job, whether it's a problem in the country, whether it's a problem in the world, who can solve the problem? Right? What is the answer? Allah SWT. Is there anyone else other than Allah who can solve the problem? No. Right? So my submission is, first of all, understand this and make this problem a reality. Make this yakin. Get your... Because I say this, but I don't think we believe it. May Allah have mercy on us. I don't think we believe it. Because if we really believed that only Allah can solve my problem, believe me, Allah would have solved our problems. But I say this because we are, you know, all of us are Muslims and so on and so forth. And I call this my Sunday school answer. Right? This is what we learned in the madrasah, maktab. So we have to give the answer. Who solved it? Allah SWT. Okay, very good. Do you really believe that? So first of all, convince yourself. Do you really believe that Allah said, Nobody can do anything. No one has any power, no authority, no irada, no nothing except Allah. Illa billah. So convince yourself that only Allah and only Allah can solve our problems. Whether it is the smallest to the largest, there is no one other than Allah who can solve our problem. So this is one of the fundamental. Principles of our aqeedah. The fundamental principle of tawheed is that tawheed begins with nafi. Tawheed begins with denial. What is the kalima? What is the kalima? Bolo. La ilaha. La ilaha. Begins with denial. There is nobody worthy of worship. Illa Allah. Then there is isbaat. Except Allah. The same thing could have been said, Verily Allah is the only one who is worshipped. You might say, well, what is that? I will not say la ilaha illallah. I will say, Allah is the only one who is the deity. Who is the deity? Who is? Who is worthy of worship? That's not the kalima. The kalima begins with denial. There is nobody. La ilaha. There is nobody worthy of worship. Nobody. Illa Allah. Except Allah. So the same thing we have to convince ourselves. That there is no God. There is no God. There is no God. There is no God. There is no God. There is no God. Just like there is no's remind myself and you we need to work on this we need to think about it and reflect on it and work on it only then will we make rojo illallah only then will we return to allah only then will we turn to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with the class to ask allah for help now help of allah allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us very clearly very simple principle very simple principle very very simple principle no complication in surah talaq allah said the one who was takwa allah will solve his problems allah did not say he will help him to know allah will solve the one who has takwa allah will remove him and extract him and find a way out for him from his difficulties and this is a blanket statement allah did not say allah will find a difficulty out for him for his political problems but if he's stuck in a spiritual problem you know sorry you can't help you no no no a any problem the one who has takwa allah will remove him and separate him and take him out of his difficulties allah will do it conditional statement which comes first takwa or solution solution is for the mutaki it's not for the fasiq and fajr it's not for the rebellious person it's not for the person who is inventing his own deen it's not for the person who is disobeying allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knowing what is wrong he still does it he knows what is haram he still does it no solution is for the one who respects allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the respect of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is not singing respect for allah is to obey allah is to have takwa of allah is to fear to disobey to fear to displease the one who we love the most and then allah said why and he will provide him from sources he cannot imagine because sometimes we sit and think now how can there be a solution this is an impossible thing it's impossible for you it is impossible for you it's not impossible for allah and allah said i will provide you sources i will provide you from sources you cannot imagine when musa needed to cross the sea with his people allah did not remove the sea allah parted the sea allah created a path in the sea when ibrahim was to be thrown into the fire to burn allah did not remove the fire allah did not put out the fire allah subhanahu wa ta'ala caused the fire to be burden was salaman alai ibrahim become a source of safety and become cool for ibrahim remember ibrahim was my father was never forced to do silly things which you can take this pushed back and back clothes every day he doesn't even me from what i can see did not stay or been put in cellar never ruined all the 관� familial associate has Carson's gift in allah's name yes CUBE SEA from the center party contemporength take out thesegruppes isthat also the dream is lots of problems in those deux siplains Evans comes to hel��oain the baby we see is tired and tired but instead of thinking about all that reform Gif on their oxydeces and other thoughts diseding and restricts him our life but the real contribution is definitely good as we were the Yakal elabd months later none of these pal nam will allow us to say that too much just take one drop in our milk Omy loam is better than you don't want to do anything that's it It doesn't have to be Allah will make it for you. But provide condition is what? Taqwa. وَمَن يَتَوَكَّرَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَزْبُوهُ And the one who has Tawakkur Allah, Allah will become sufficient for you. It begins with Taqwa. Now what is Taqwa? Taqwa begins with Tawbah and Istighfar. Taqwa is when the person faces himself and says, May Allah have mercy on me, I am the problem. I don't have a problem, I am the problem. I don't have a problem, I am the problem. We like to talk about the great Mojizat. We say so and so, he raised his hands and the Malaika descended. An army of Junud al-Malaika, they descended. And we saw Jibreel-e-Salam on his horse and we saw his lance. And the sun was shining on the tip of his lance. And his Amama, the tail of the Amama was in the air, flying in the air. Ask yourself, who made that Dua? Me? Who made the Dua? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala caused the earth to open and swallow Qarun with his Kunuz, with his treasures. On whose Dua? Your Dua? My Dua? The Dua of Musa Kalimullah. So we have to get to the level, I am not saying we get to the level of Musa Kalimullah, that is not going to happen. But we have to have some excuse to go before Allah. Rasool Allah raised his Dua, raised his hands. He said, I am the one who made this Dua. I am the one who made this Dua. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent the Malaika and Badr. The Sahaba raised their hands and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent Malaika in Yarbuk. The Sahaba raised their hands and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made the horses of the Sahaba cross over to Bahrain. Who was making Dua? The Sahaba. It has to start with Istighfar and Tawbah. Fakultu istaghfiru rabbakum innahu kana ghaffara yursilissama'a alaykum idrara wa yundidkum bi amwali wa baneen wa yaj'al lakum jannati wa yaj'al lakum anhara. Nu alayhi salam. The people have difficulties because they were disobeying Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. They were rebellious people. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has punished them. They came to him. When he first called them, they don't come. Then when he calls them, they come. And they say, this is the problem. We are having these problems. Please help us. What does he tell them? Fakultu istaghfiru rabbakum. Make Istighfar, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. He did not say, I will make Dua for you. He said, no, no, no, you make Istighfar first. You are the problem. You don't have a problem. You are the problem. Straighten yourself out. You are attracting difficulties like a magnet attracts iron filings. Right? You are a disaster magnet. All the disasters floating around in the air, they come to you because you are attracting them. Become a disaster repeller. You are a disaster magnet. Cut off the supply. Okay? Fakultu istaghfiru rabbakum. Make Istighfar. Innahu kana ghuffara.
