, extremely difficult when you were born, you came into this world, this world is full of obstacles and trials, it is a testing ground, it is like a school, every week you have a test? At school every week you have a test every day. Some people have exams. If you go to a top private school, you will be tested every day on what you did yesterday, so this is the best. Dun Allah will test you one after another. Every day you will be tested, what you did, what you learned the day before or that same day or what you know.

Allah will test you. Allah says. I'm sure you've heard this verse. I only said one word. You know the Arabic language. Many of you may understand a little bit, but when Allah says that it means that we will test you and when he says that he is emphasizing it so strongly that we will definitely definitely test each one of you, it will be test after test after test. why are you on earth all of us sitting here including me have problems that we have to deal with you have problems health problems that we have all struggled with whether it be cough no matter what it is we have all struggled with health problems no one here can say I have never had a health problem since I was born until today go and ask your mother maybe when you were little you were a colleague maybe you used to shout Subhan Allah this is Allah's plan why Allah wants to test you?

What are you going to do? Some of us get angry when we are tested. Some of us get depressed when we are tested. Allah says no, there is no point in getting depressed. There's no point in getting angry. Not all of us could go to the best schools. We agreed. Not all of us were able to obtain certain grades that we would have liked. Sometimes we had to fit in somewhere because we didn't do it right. Not all brains are exactly equal in capacity. Allah created you. You are good at something. What is it? different from what I am good, but Allah did not leave you like this, there is something that he gave you, sometimes you do not realize what he has given you, he has given you some gift that others maybe do not have for you . level some people are very intelligent some people are good with their hands some people are good in mathematics some people love biology geography some people are very good in administration some people are good as teachers some people are good as for example computer specialists some people they are good at sitting and watching so they are Gods Subhan Allah alhamdulillah I see your smile smiling I didn't say lazy I said good sitting and watching masallah may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala help us you can still have a job you can still have a job and you can still go, but how much will you earn?

Let me fill you in at the beginning. I said that man is such that he can adapt. That is Allah's gift to you. You can adapt the man who makes 50,000 a month and another who makes 500 a month, trust me. They are eating, believe me, they are surviving, they get used to it. When that man who earns 50,000 a day suddenly loses his job and doesn't earn, he will have a hard time if he makes the most of what he has, he probably saved a little. little in a beautiful way because he knows that I am a m, I am a Muslim and maybe this is a gift from Allah.

I need to make the most of it and if he is not a mmin or his IM is weak, he will start crying he will get depressed he will get angry he will not be able to survive without realizing that the one on the street wearing uniform and sweeping is happy Salam alaykum is looking at you Salah time he puts his broom aside and Allahar and he is so happy he is delighted Mallah, you give him a real oh, thank you very much sir, thank you sir, he will carry your bags, your plastic bags from the supermarket to your room hotel in the middle of the heat and he I won't expect more than 1 to 10 R from you Subhan Allah and he is happy and delighted but you are a human being like him how come he is doing that.

It's a gift and he's happier than you, but you have a thousand. R in your pocket, that's Allah, adapt, this is the test, this is something we really need to think about. Don't be depressed in your test because your test is considered a gift to other people in their real

life

. Makes sense? I have seen it. people without legs W and they are so happy I met a man who cannot move for many years may Allah grant him shifa he is paralyzed from top to bottom he communicates with his eyes may Allah grant him cure but if you see him you talk to Him he will be motivated because , believe me, your satisfaction and happiness with Allah is much greater by the will of Allah than many of us who are sitting here today, we have small problems, so do not be depressed, the problems are there, that is what the dun.

It is about I am here to tell you today that the difficulties in your life will begin from the moment of birth, even before anything is written against you. Your difficulties have begun. You know that Allah says that your works will be written in the age of maturity. when you mature then the pen is raised and things are written for or against you at that age but your difficulties begin before innocent children sometimes you wonder why Allah subhanahu wa taala has tested this child with kidney failure, may Allah Grant shifa to those who have kidney failure Why has Allah tested this child?

An innocent child cannot see. An innocent child cannot hear. Everything is a test. Allah knows why it is a test for you who are close to the child. For the child. Allah knows. that he is the son of Allah before he came to you on Earth and that he will return to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and maybe Allah will grant that child a high rank in Jenna, it is something amazing and we should definitely think about this unique system. of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, so my brothers and sisters, as the child grows up and the child starts asking a question and I come to the point of marriage and the child says: I want to get married, please consider what the boy is saying.

Those who say that I am ashamed of what people will say, must understand that there is a greater shame regarding what Allah will have to say or do. Remember these people start saying at home, what are the people who really bother you going to say? fulfill the am of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for you, if that is the case, be careful, fulfill it in a beautiful way if you have suitable reasons, give them mashallah, talk to your son, do not use the fact, oh you know Not in our family. It doesn't work like that. Don't you belong to Islam as a family?

Aren't we family members here? Aren't you part of my family? I am part of your family. We have the dean. We have Islam Subhan Allah. So don't say you know. in my family my tribe they don't allow it you know our culture if your culture agrees with Islam it is a beautiful culture if there are two three elements that are against Islam you have to abandon them because Islam comes first. I'm saying yes. It is an ideal every parent has some dream but I can tell you the reality whether you like it or not you have to adjust your dream as the years go by if you don't you will get angry you will get depressed many of us when we were young we had a dream one day I will do this a one day I will do that one day I will do this and you had to change your dream I am sure you heard the story about the man who was I said it in this Masjid Some time ago and I want to repeat it, the man who was a porter had a dream that one day he would take someone rich's goods and get some money and do something, so what happened is he was at the train station and there was a man who came out of the train with some milk milk milk in a can a big can and He was a rich man at that time there was a shortage of milk so having milk is a big thing, so he said: can you carry this?

This man says yes, I'll take it for you and he says, I'll give you a good amount of money, a good amount of money for this, so the man put the can down and put it on him. above his head and he walked very happy today his dream is coming true why because I am going to get a lot of money and you know that the porters have a skill if you have seen them they put something on their head they have a skill to put something on top without hold it and they can even run, it won't fall, they can even run, it won't fall because they know they are experts in their field.

Subhan Allah, this young man has this thing and he is walking. walking and that man says look whatever you do don't spill the milk he said no I won't do it don't worry I won't do it so he is walking and while he is walking he is thinking to himself I am going to get to say for example, $100 worth this man or $10 whatever. I will buy two chickens from there. Chickens will lay eggs when they lay eggs. I'll start selling eggs and then buy more chickens before I know it. I'm going to have a bad streak. and I will have a lot of chickens, they will lay eggs and I will also start selling the chickens, so now I will be a person who sells chickens and eggs and after a while I will buy some sheep and then I will have a small farm and I will be able to grow on the one hand I have my chickens my eggs on the other hand I will have sheep and maybe goats maybe I want to sell some of the goats' milk and maybe I will end up selling the sheep and I will open a butcher shop I will be a butcher and after a while I will buy a large piece of land and I will buy some cows when I buy the cows we will sell milk we will sell cows we will sell so many things Wow, I will employ 200,300 people and I will make sure that everything works and he is busy walking around with this milk in his head and his plan.

It's a beautiful plan. It's viable, right? It can work if you work hard and Allah gives you. acceptance, they are from among us, even maybe sitting here, people who started with nothing and mallah today have so much, you know, so it is possible, then he has this dream and then he says, then I will buy a building in the center of the city . buy because now when I make money I can't just leave all my eggs in one basket. I will buy a building in the center of the city and then I will buy another building and I will rent it out and I will become one of the one of the biggest businessmen in this entire land, then I will go to the king to ask about his daughter.

Did you hear that I will go to the king because now they will know me? I'll be a businessman and I'll be the greatest they'll ask me they'll ask me I'll do it when he asks me then I'll go up to them and I'll say look I want to marry your daughter and while he was thinking this he hit a rock and he and this thing here it fell, so when it fell the owner of the milk got so upset he turned around and said look what did you do to my milk I lost my milk he says wait wait relax you just lost your milk I lost my chickens I lost my goats I lost my eggs I lost everything I lost so many people lost their jobs and at the same time I even lost my wife the point I am making is that you have to adjust your dreams because you have a dream it is not wrong to dream dream please dream but remember it is Allah's plan you will have to adjust we have an idea oh I have I have daughters inshallah I will grow them you know they will grow Mallah under me I will teach them they will become the Quran they will do this everyone has it a dream I want my son to become IM of the Masjid to learn the Islam to spread the dean everyone has a good dream I want my son to do this to do that, you know what? and then you say I want my son to marry someone inshallah who is a very good person and they will have children.

I will have grandchildren. One day by the will of Allah and whatever. It's exactly like this man who had the dreams of him with his, you know, milk can on top. If something happens to him, he can trust me. You have to adjust your dreams, but Allah will give you something not too far away if you aim very high with your children, inshallah, at least you will get halfway there, but if you have no goal, where are you going to go? You have no goal, so I. I have met young people I want to memorize the Quran I want to memorize the Quran give me give me some advice memorizing the Quran is not easy yes, it is good that you intend to start today, you may not finish everything and you may find it difficult how many children started and then after a while they gave up it was very difficult for them at least they have a link with the Quran at least now you can read the Quran by looking inside correctly some parents say: I want my child to be Beal they push the child they force him, they have a problem with the boy, they start fighting with the boy and the boy comes in and the boy starts learning the Quran and they memorize a ju and then they give up after a big fight, you don't realize that.

While I was trying to make my son whole, at least now he can read the Quran very well, looking inside, that's an advantage, that's an advantage, have you thought about it, but if you hadn't even planned it, they wouldn't have even made it. So much so that life is full of difficulties, one after another, tests. You have to adjust your dreams. You have one day. You will have a lot of wealth. The next day you will fight because you will suffer a loss. You have to suffer a loss. It is the promise of Allah. because that verse I was reading where Allah says you know what He's talking about there I will definitely test you some days, they will inflict fear on you, fear of all kinds of fear, you are afraid, look at the people in some of the lands around us May Allah protect our lands May Allah grant them peace and goodness Innocent people lived They had nothing Nothing was happening Nothey interfered with no one they had to flee their houses were destroyed everything that happened they found they were refugees everyone around the world what happened to them take a lesson we are worried we want to see a solution we are muslims we want to stop all the fighting and killing this is how it is supposed to be that's why we make Dua sometimes there is confusion we don't even understand what it is This is the confusion there is, but the lesson we must learn is that many of those people had more comfortable lives than the ones you have today.

Do you realize what happened? Allah says we tested them, we tested them, they adapted, they left, they came. people who lived in air conditioning, people who had beautiful bedding, later found themselves in refugee camps where they didn't even have a blanket, but they got used to it. Allah gave them the gift by allowing their bodies to adapt. allow their system to adjust you have to adapt if you don't you get depressed you get sick you suffer from an illness a mental illness because you didn't adapt you have to adapt when you lost your job or your salary went down or they were laying off people and you had to go for example no don't get depressed make the most of what you have some of the healthiest and richest people are those who one day suffered a fall and then went up suffered a fall and then went up
