In the name of my Allah,
the greatest,
the most high,
you are
my only one true love.
We have a problem in life. When we have
a problem, Allah says, "Don't worry.
With that difficulty, there is ease."
You will never know what ease is all
about unless you've been through
difficulty. Those who have a beautiful
life, sometimes they are still worried
and depressed because they don't know
what it is like to have suffered a
little bit. So Allah's blessing, he
makes us suffer slightly so that when
there's a little bit of ease, mashallah,
you know, a man who's always driven a
Rolls-Royce will never know what it's
like to ride a bicycle to work. Two ways
of making them ride. One is the doctor
tells you you're about to die and you
need to ride to work. Immediately
everything is given up. Why? Because
we're worried about dear life. That's
why if you see people, Subhan Allah,
I've seen a man who had a carrot and he
was pretending like he's smoking this
carrot and nibbling on it. And I told
him, I said, "My brother, what made you
nibble on this carrot?" He says, "My
doctor told me I can't smoke and a good
replacement is a carrot." I said,
"Allah, you're stuffing your mouth with
a carrot because of a doctor, but when
Allah told you smoking is bad, then you
didn't want to listen. You won't make us
hate it. Abar may Allah make us from
amongst those who eat carrots rather
than smoking cigarettes. Really
so my brothers and sisters it's a
reality whenever there is a person who
has tasted goodness alone and they don't
know what difficulty is about there
comes a time when they do not appreciate
what they have. So like I was saying two
ways one is Allah snatches it away from
you. So you now have nothing. So many
people have climbed the peak in terms of
materialistic items and then they've
dropped down the mountain. They say it's
easier to drop from the top than it is
from the bottom. Akbar. When you're
right at the top, a small movement and
you roll down. And when you're at the
bottom, they can kick you. If you drop,
you stand up again and you're walking.
Same level. Mashallah. It's all about
altitude. May Allah protect us. Another
thing is when you drop from the top,
greater likelihood of breaking more
bones. When you drop from the bottom, I
might have just hurt my head slightly.
just say ouch and carry on. May Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us and grant
us humbleness. So remember sometimes
Allah wants you to go down so that you
appreciate the bicycle after you had
nothing yet 10 years ago you had the
Rolls-Royce.
May Allah bless us.
So Allah says and I'm sure we know the
verses verse number five and six
[Music]
indeed with every difficulty or with
difficulty there is ease and indeed with
the difficulty there is ease. Some of
the scholars of linguistics
they have analyzed the statement and
they say is referring to the same
difficulty and because it is common is
referring to a different point of ease.
So this verse would mean that with
difficulty there is ease and with the
same difficulty there is another point
of ease as well which means with every
difficulty there are two points of ease.
That's the mercy of Allah. May Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala alleviate the
suffering that we are all going through
in our own little ways. Remember, it's a
gift of Allah to keep you in check
sometimes to keep you calling out to
him. May Allah open our doors.
