 الحمد لله يفعلوا ما يشاء ويحكموا ما يريد واشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له الحميد المجيد واشدوا أن محمد عبده ورسوله الداعي إلى التوحيد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه إلى يوم المزيد أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى اليوم أريد أن أتكلم وحدث عن أعلى أسئلة أن نستطيع أن نتخلص من أسئلة من الوصول في أسئلة المرأة فينا في ستة أخرى نتحدث عن 10 أسئلة في التي أحد يستخدم أن يتخلص من الوصول لكن اليوم إن شاء الله تعالى أريد أن أحدث عن عبار وعضات أسئلة أن نستطيع أن نتعلم ما نرى وما نرى وماذا هذا الوصول على الوصول ويصبح الوصول الوصول هو شيء that has truly spread on this earth and it has caused havoc anarchy and outbreak people have become distressed and some have even lost loved ones everywhere you go people are speaking about it they are discussing it it's been spoken in social media some people are speaking about it a lot and others are speaking about it a little some are asking questions some are answering it's become the story of the town it's become the discussion of the city and what I wanted to do إن شاء الله تعالى is lessons that we can take from it and I restricted it to 20 lessons إن شاء الله تعالى the believers are ones that do that and Allah سبحانه وتعالى He spoke about the believers in the Quran and he said about them إن في ذلك لعبرة اللي قولي الأبصار in all of this there's a lesson and there's a reminder to who أولي الأبصار those who have insight the wise people the true believers the smart people these things become lessons for them and they take understanding and comprehension from it ولي ذلك the noble companion أبو الدرداء رضي الله تعالى عنه he said تفكر ساعة the thinking of one hour خير من قيام ليلة it is better than standing a night تفكر of a hour just thinking and pondering and contemplating for an hour he said it's better and it's greater than praying the night so we should take these moments and this event that we are going through lessons and reminders from it the first إن شاء الله تعالى عبرة that we can take from the coronavirus outbreak is وما قدر الله حق قدري that's the first lesson that we can take from it this coronavirus is a true weak creation of Allah it's extremely weak it can't even be seen with the eye if someone wants to see it you have to use a microscope in order to see it it's that small but it's placed in the hearts of the people terror and fear there's a lesson in it there's a reminder in it and that is قدرة الربع عز وجل the ability and the strength of Allah and how weak the creation are الله سبحانه وتعالى he has the ultimate power and the ultimate strength the creation however much we have reached in technology and we've reached in science and in medicine we are still weak we are unable till now to produce a vaccine for this virus this truly shows us that the one who has the ability the ultimate ability and strength is Allah سبحانه وتعالى وان الله عز وجل ذو القوة المتين and that is why Allah said in the ayah ما قدر الله حق قدري إن الله لقوي عزيز they have not honored Allah the way he deserves to be honored إن الله ورلي الله لقوي يون he is one who is strong and has the ultimate strength عزيز means الغالب في أمره it is the one that when he wants something to happen it will happen no matter what everybody says that's the first lesson that we can take from the corona virus it has proven to us how weak we are and it has proven to us how strong and great Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the second is فعتبروا يأولي الأبصار the second lesson that we can take from it is فعتبروا يأولي الأبصار that which is embarrassing and shaming that when calamities befall and hardship comes that the people busy themselves with transmitting and passing on news and talking about the things that are happening without really looking at and without observing repentance the recitation of the Quran and turning to Allah سبحانه وتعالى so many people are really talking about the statistics and how many people have died and that doesn't mean that we shouldn't we should want to know about that but they made that the ultimate goal and they've only busy themselves with that without looking at this calamity can be an expiation for your sins and your shortcomings it requires from you واليقين والصبر والثبات it requires from you faith in Allah سبحانه وتعالى it requires from you patience and certainty and it requires from you to be firm and established and upright in your religion و لذلك الشيخ العلم عبد العزيز الملبازة رحمه الله in his مجموعة الفتاة he said one of the signs that show that a group of people's heart have become tainted and has truly become filthy is is that the people they hear of the magnificent signs of Allah سبحانه وتعالى those signs that bring about fear they hear about it such as the coronavirus and these things تخشعوا لها الجبال the mountains will tremble because of it but this individual يستمرون على تغيانهم they are consistent and continuous on their transgression and going against الله سبحانه وتعالى and they are consistent upon this of being Allah like nothing has happened they've not taken anything from it all they do is they transmit the news what's happening they give each other updates and that's it there's nothing more to it they are not turning to Allah سبحانه وتعالى they are they are consistent and continuous in following their whims and desires so فعتبروا يا أولي الأبصار this is something that requires from you to turn back to your Lord and to take lessons from it the third is الله خالق كل شيء the third lesson that we can take from the coronavirus outbreak is الله خالق كل شيء every single thing that's happening in this world and everything that has happened in the world and anything that's going to happen all of them are created by Allah سبحانه وتعالى Allah created it سبحانه وتعالى if Allah سبحانه وتعالى wills and wants He's able to على تعطيل الأسباب الله تعبارك وتعالى if He wants He can stop the means taking place He can allow things that we've exerted all of our efforts into Allah if He wishes and if He wants He can stop it from happening we've put all of our efforts in it the means is there if He doesn't want it to happen He can do that He can prevent it from happening even if the means are in place الله سبحانه وتعالى He can bring the creation into existence without any tangible means of how this creation came about الله خالق كل شيء Allah creates everything سبحانه وتعالى He created without a father وربك قادر الله also has the ability to prevent things happening if He wishes if you look at the معجزة of Nabi الله زكرية زكرية had a tongue when his wife became pregnant الله سبحانه وتعالى tells us in the Quran that he couldn't speak قال رب جعل لي آية قال آية ألا تكلم الناس ثلاثة ليلن there are three days will come and you won't be able to speak no words will come out of your mouth زكرية had a tongue but his tongue was unable to function he couldn't work who is the one who did that الله سبحانه وتعالى He creates whatever He wills so if we felt this in our hearts and we truly digested this that Allah سبحانه وتعالى خالق كل شيء that He creates everything and He is the one who creates the means and He is the one who creates the مسببات and He is the one who creates the نتائج and the مقدمات والأفعال and the actions all of it as He says قول الله خالق كل شيء وهو الواحد القهار say to them Muhammad that Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the one who created everything the fourth lesson that we take from the corona outbreak is لعلهم يتبرعون hasn't the corona virus my beloved brothers and sisters not shown us how weak we are and how unable we are has it not shown us that we are in need of Allah سبحانه وتعالى the answer to that question is yes it has it has shown us that we are in need of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and that we are unable to do anything ولذلك Allah سبحانه وتعالى He says in the Quran إذ جاءهم بأسنا تضرعوا ولكن قست قلوبهم وزينا لهم الشيطان وما كانوا يعملون الله سبحانه وتعالى فلولا if only إذ جاءهم بأسنا when our trial came to them when the calamity from Allah came to them if only تضرعوا they humbled themselves they humiliated themselves to Allah سبحانه وتعالى but they didn't ولكن قست قلوبهم but rather their heart became tainted and hard وزينا لهم الشيطان and the shaitan beautified for them ما كانوا يعملون which they were doing when the calamity of Allah came instead of turning to Allah and humbling themselves to Allah what did they do they were persistent upon their wrongdoings ولذلك ابن كثير الراحمة الله في التفسير of this ayah he says فهلا if only these people when we tested them and we put them through trials and tribulations تضرعوا إلينا if only they turned towards us وتمسكنوا إلينا and they held onto us ولكن قست قلوبهم but rather their hearts became tainted أي ما رقت ولا خشعت their hearts did not become soft ابن كثيرين says and it never humbled itself to Allah وزينا لهم الشيطان وما كانوا يعملون أي من الشرك والمعاصي the things that shaitan beautified for them was disbelief of Allah and he also beautified for them sins ولذلك ابن القيمن he said he says ليهلكه وإن مبتلاه ليمتح نصبره وعبوديته فإن الله تعالى على العبد عبودية في الضرائي وله عبودية عليه فيما يكره كما له عبودية فيما يحب وأكثر الخلق يعطون العبودية فيما يحبون والشأن في إعطاء العبودية في المكاره ابن القيمن يقول الله سبحانه وتعالى لم يحبهم ولم يجب أن يضعهم بحياتهم لكي يستطيعهم ولكن rather يحبهم لكي يستطيع أو يستطيع حياتهم ويحبهم حياتهم لذلك they were put through these calamities was to see where their patient stands are they truly patient people and then ابن القيمن says الله has on the slave a servitude at the times of hardship and also servitude at the times of ease and joy and the majority of the people they have been given the servitude at the times when they are enjoying themselves and they are happy but the reality of the matter is والشأنو في إعطاء العبودية في المكاره but the true form of servitude is that you are patient and you come with the servitude required at the time of hardship the times when you have a corona virus outbreak are you going to come with العبودية في المكاره number 5 فبما كسبت A.D.كم the fifth lesson that we can take from the corona outbreak is the majority of the people today are deceived and they are deceived with the little that they do and they think that they have done an excellent job but little do they forget the wrong crimes and the mistakes that they have committed and everything that has fallen us and that we go through is because of our own actions it is because of what we have done الله سبحانه وتعالى He said in the Qur'an He says الله سبحانه وتعالى He says قل و宮 you and you went through a time of hardship الله سبحانه وتعالى佳 ويد ال可能 and the likes of thisLaughs had to be fallen on the disbelievers قلENTEم you said Neither had it. Where did this come from? Why are we going through this? And why is this happening to us? قلت آيةUSE محمد This has come to you from your own actions This ayah الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول لهم يقول لهم محمد هو من عند أنفسكم هذا يأتي لك من أكثرك هذا هو ما you have done to yourselves و لذلك عباسن رضي الله تعالى عنه the noble companion and the uncle of the prophet الله عليه وسلم العباس بن عبد المطالب what did he say he said اللهم إنه لم ينزل بلاء من السماء إلا بذنب ولا يكشف إلا بتوبة he said أو الله there has never come a calamity from high above except due to the sins that were committed and it will be and it will not be removed and it will not be removed unless we come with repentance إمن الجوز رحمه الله he said in his kitab سيد الخاطر المصيبة العظمة the greatest calamity is رضا الإنساني أن نفسي is for the person to be pleased with himself وقتناعه بعلمه and for the person to be content with his knowledge و هذه محنة قد عمت أكثر الخلق and this is a trial and an evil trait that has been fallen on too many that the person believes that he is fine and there is nothing wrong with him and the person is content with his knowledge and he believes I have what it needs he says this is truly a calamity the sixth lesson that we can take from the corona virus outbreak is الله لطيف بعباده الله سبحانه وتعالى he is gentle to his creation الله سبحانه وتعالى he is taking care of his believers الله سبحانه وتعالى he is protecting them from great harms the scholars they said before in order to know good evil needs to be present how would you know something is good unless it's opposite is present the believer when the calamity of the corona virus occurred he realizes that which he used to have and the scholars they said الصحة تتاج على رؤوس الأصحاء لا يراه إلا المرضى that health is a crown on the heads of the healthy one health is a crown on the heads of the healthy ones the ones who are not sick and no one can see that crown except the sick people they're the only ones who can see it so the person realizes what he had he understands what he was given and that which الله سبحانه وتعالى gave him إن الله الله سبحانه وتعالى إن ربي لطيف لما يشاء الله is kind and generous and gentle to whoever he wills سبحانه وتعالى الله لطيف بعباده بعباده هي آهو the slaves who have believed in Allah سبحانه وتعالى and they have stood up for his religion they did what he told them to do and they stayed away from that which he told them to stay away from number seven أنتم الفقراء إلى الله you are the ones that are in need of Allah we are the ones who need Allah الله doesn't need us سبحانه وتعالى one of the abandoned acts of worship at times of hardship is عبودية التذلل والخضوح والافتقار إلى الله عز وجل the acts of worship which are abandoned and that people leave off at times of hardship is the acts of worship of humiliating and humbling yourself to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and turning back to him and showing that you need him سبحانه وتعالى all of us are in need of him let's ponder over زكريا عليه السلام نبي الله زكريا how he wanted something from Allah he really wanted to have a child and so he called onto his Lord he presented himself in a way that shows that he is need of Allah humiliated himself he humbled himself الله سبحانه وتعالى he says in the Quran على لسان زكريا قال ربي إني وهن العظم مني واشتاع للرأس شيبا ولم أكن بدعائك ربي شقية he said قال ربي my Lord إني وهن العظم my bones have become fragile واشتاع للرأس and my hair has turned white ولم أكن I and I was never one who was transgressive in your supplication and invoking onto you oh my Lord إبن رجب he says in his Kitab جامع علوم والحكم he says وعلم أن سؤال الله تعالى دون خلقه هو المتعين لأن السؤال فيه إظهار الضل من السائل والمسكنة والحاجة والافتقار وفيه وفي الاعتراف بقدرة المسؤول على دفع هذا الضرر ونيل المطلوب وجلب المنافع ودرء المضار ولا يصلح الضل والافتقار إلا لله وحده لأنه حقيقة العبادة he says know that asking Allah who subhanahu و تعالى calling onto him alone it is an obligatory act and asking Allah who subhanahu و تعالى and begging him is the true sign of humbling yourself to Allah who subhanahu و تعالى raising your hand and begging him it is إظهار الضل you are presenting yourself and you are showing yourself as to be someone who is humble and is in need of Allah who subhanahu و تعالى and it also in it is اعتراف بقدرة المسؤولين that you are recognizing that the one you are begging and you are asking from Allah he has the ultimate strength now he has the ability over everything he is the one who can remove this harm from you he is the one who can give you what you are looking for he can bring about the good that you want he is the one who can repel the harm from you and all of this it comes through supplicating and invoking onto Allah who subhanahu و تعالى number 8 إنما أشكوا بثي و حزني إلى الله the 8th lesson that we take from the coronavirus outbreak is we complain to Allah who subhanahu و تعالى the complaining are two types it is to complain to الخالق الله و عز و جل and the second one is to create to complain to the مخلوق of the creation to complain to Allah who subhanahu و تعالى does not go against patience to complain to Allah does not go against patience but complaining to the creation goes against the true meaning of patience و لذلك يعقوب عليه عليه السلام when he said قال إنما أشكوا بثي و حزني إلى الله و أعلم من الله ما لا تعلمون he was upon patience he said I am going to complain to my lord about my situation and I am going to tell him what I am going through and the hardship that I am enduring و لذلك the poet he said و إذا عرتك بليت فصب لها if calamity and hardship makes its way to you be patient صبر الكريم فإنه بك أعلموا be patient the patience of the generous one فإنه بك أعلموا الله is the one who knows your situation و إذا شكو تألبنا آدمة إنما and if you go and you complain to the creation and you tell them your problem then you are complaining to تشكو تشكو الرحيم إلى الذي لا يرحموا you are complaining about the massive one Allah and you are complaining to the one who has no mercy و إذا عرتك بليت فصب لها صبر الكريم فإنه بك أعلموا و إذا شكو تألبنا آدمة إنما تشكو الرحيم إلى الذي لا يرحموا تشكو الرحيم إلى الذي لا يرحموا و إذا شكو رحيمه و تشكو رحيمك نمبر 9 نمبر 9 أن نخطيه من المساعدة كورونا و كل أمر مستقر كل شيء ما أحبه أخوه أخوه يوجد وقته لا يبقى لن يبقى لن يبقى لا يبقى لن يبقى لن يبقى و لذلك الله سبحانه و تعالى يقول لكل نبئ مستقر كل شيء يوجد وقته و لذلك السعدي رحمه الله يقول أي وقت يستقر فيه لكل نبئ مستقر يعني أي وقت يستقر فيه و زمان لا يتقدم عنه و لا يتأخر كل شيء يوجد وقته لا يبقى لن يبقى before that time و لا يبقى after that time الله يقول في another آية لكل أجل كتاب كل شيء يوجد وقته و لا يبقى لن يبقى كورونا لله سبحانه و تعالى يوجد وقته فقط الله تعلم عندما يأت إلى نهاية لكنه يوجد وقته نحن يجب أن نؤمن في ذلك أنه لا يبقى لن يبقى يوجد وقته و وقته قبل يوجد وقته و يوجد وقته و يوجد always going to be like that number 10 فصبر جميل بيشنس بيشنس is what is required from us الله سبحانه و تعالى This is the 10th lesson that we take from the Corona virus outbreak فصبر جميل patience الله سبحانه و تعالى command us in the Quran to be patient الله سبحانه و تعالى He says فصبر صبر جميلة be patient a beautiful patient and الله سبحانه و تعالى He says على لسان يعقوب عليه السلام الله سبحانه و تعالى He is telling us this بعد توالي المصائب after the calamities one after the other happened to يعقوب عليه السلام الله سبحانه و تعالى he tells us that يعقوب said فصبر جميل والله المستعان وعلى ما تصفون he said a beautiful patient و لذلك حافظه من حجر in his Kitab فتح الباريو he said الصبر على بلاية الدنيا يورث الجنة patience on the calamities of this earth will inherit you جنة through it you will get جنة the eleventh the eleventh lesson that we take from the coronavirus outbreak is ولا تي أسو من روح الله don't give up do not lose فقدان الأمل don't lose hope and don't think to yourself that it's over and it's done the world has come to an end and everything is going to be destroyed and my life is over do not think of it like that فإن مع العسر يسرى إن مع العسر يسرى after every hardship there's ease ولا يغلب عسر يسريني remember that after every hardship there's ease كلما ضاق الأمر التسع every time something becomes tight it's close to its opening it's close to the opening time and if we look again the story of Yaqub عليه السلام how he combined between beautiful patience and الأمل والتفائل how he had hope he never lost hope نبي الله Yaqub الله سبحانه وتعالى he told us and he also came with أخذ الأسباب الممكنة Yaqub عليه السلام was patient he also hoped good of Allah عز وجل and he was also coming with the means الله told us in the Quran that he said to his children وقال يا بني لا تدخلوا من باب واحد ودخلوا من أبواب متفرقة my sons don't enter all from one door but enter from different doors that was him taking the means to protect his children from harm also how he had strong توقل in الله عز وجل he said to his children after he told them to take the means he said to them وما أغني عنكم من الله means شيء I cannot prevent you from the قدر when it comes if the قدر comes there is nothing I can do for you إذا جاء القدر باطل الحذر if the قدر comes all of the precautions that you are taking it will all go out of the window وما أغني عنكم من الله means شيء I cannot suffice you وما أغني عنكم من الله means شيء I cannot suffice you anything from Allah إني الحكم إلا لله all matters are in the hands of Allah he is the one who controls it عليه توقلت on Allah alone do I rely وعليه فليه توقل المتوقلون also he never gave up نبي الله عقوب he had hope even after everything happened to him he had hope in Allah وعز وجل and that is why he kept saying to his children يا بني يدهب فتحسسوا من يوسف واخيه ولا تيأسوا من روح الله إنه لا يأسوا من روح الله إلا القوم الكافرون he said to his children go فتحسسوا and look for من يوسف look for my son Yusuf واخيه and go look for his brother باليمين go look for them ولا تيأسوا من روح الله and don't give up إلا الله عز وجل إنه لا يأسوا من روح الله إلا القوم الكافرون there is no one who gives up on Allah who is subhanahu wa ta'ala except that he is from the disbelievers and our messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he used to nurture يُعَلِّمُ أصحابه he would teach his companions these meaning which is not to give up to have faith in Allah عز وجل the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said in a hadith الامام البخاري المسلم both narrated لا عدوة ولا طيارة ويعجيبن الفأل قال وما الفأل قال كلمة طيبة the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said ويعجيبني الفأل فألو used to amaze me it fascinates me and the صحابة they said what is فألو and the prophet said كلمة طيبة good words at a time like this when the people are actually scared and they're frightened it is not wise to tell the people things that are going to scare them even more number 12 the 12 lesson that we take from the corona outbreak is وكانوا بأياتنا يقنون أثقة بالله having strong belief in الله سبحانه وتعالى and relying on him and putting your affairs in his hands this is one of the greatest ways that we can go beyond and surpass this moment that we're living in right now ولي ذلك the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم قلمة يقوم من مجلسن it was little that the prophet stood up from a place except that he would make the following دعاني would say ومن اليقين ما تهون به علينا مصائب الدنيا and certainty ما تهون certainty that will lessen in our eyes مصائب الدنيا the calamities of this earth يعني certainty it makes the mosaib seem insignificant and very little it does ولي ذلك the person will only suffer if he becomes a person who lacks يقين certainty عبد الله يبني مسعود رضي الله تعالى عنه he said إن الروحة والفرجة في اليقين والرضى وإن اللغة وإن الغمة والحزنة من الشك وصخطي عبد الله يبني مسعود and he said that ease and victory is in certainty and a ridah submission to be pleased with whatever Allah has preached for you سبحانه وتعالى وإن الغمة والحزنة depression anxiety and stress is connected to what من الشك when a person is in a state of doubt وصخطي and when a person is in a state of anger he doesn't like the قدر he's not pleased with what Allah has destined for him he doesn't like it also عبد الله يبني مسعود and he said وليقين الإيمان وكله certainty is all of the iman سفيان الثوري and he said as أبو النعيم الأصفهاني and he wrote in his كتاب حلية الأولياء وطبقات الأصفياء that he said أليقين ودزا اليقين وين ألا تتهم مولاكة في كل ما أصابك اليقين وين that you don't suspect your Lord الله سبحانه وتعالى in every calamity that before you or Allah did this to us and Allah has made this happen to us that you don't always suspect Him and think evil and bad of Him but rather you are certain in the good that will come out of it إبن القيم said something very powerful he said فليقين روح أعمال القلوب التي هي أرواح أعمال الجوارح وهو حقيقة السديقية وهو قطب هذا الشأن الذي عليه مداره the real soul of the heart is certainty which then manifests on the limbs it is certainty when a person has certainty in something he can do it easily because the heart is content it's in a state of tranquility وهو حقيقة السديقية and the level of the السديقية the true essence of it is اليقين that's why Allah سبحانه وتعالى He said in the Quran وجعلنا منهم أئمة يهدون بأمرنا لما صبروا وكانوا بأياتنا يؤنون that we made them leaders we put them in position of leadership when they came with two things بالصبري وليقين تنالوا الإمامة في الدين patience and certainty brings about leadership number 13 خذوا حذراكم the 13th lesson that we can take إن شاء الله وإتعالى from the corona virus outbreak is خذوا حذراكم take your precautions الأخذوا بالأسباب المادية المشروع الممكنة من سنة لله الكونية taking the physical means that are legislated and are permitted are from the universal signs of Allah سبحانه وتعالى taking medications vaccination staying away from someone who has got the virus these are what falls under the ayah خذوا حذراكم take your precautions brothers and sisters what does توقل مين what is حقيقة التوقل مين توقل مين اعتماد القلب على الله مع مباشرة الأسباب توقل is rely on الله سبحانه وتعالى and you come with the means you come with the means relying on الله and coming with the means is what توقل is ابن القيم says in his book مدار السالكين فالتوقل من أعظة من أسباب التي يحصل بها المطلوب ويندفع بها المكروه فمن أنكر الأسباب لم يستقم منه التوقل ولكن من تمام التوقل عدم الروكون إلى الأسباب وقطع وقطع علاقة القلب بها فيكون حال قلب قيامه بالله لا بها وحال بدني قيامه بها ابن القيم speaks about the two that I just mentioned that the توقل is true essence and the true meaning of the توقل is when you rely on Allah and you also come with the means and ابن تيمس said something similar to that in his كتاب التحفة العراقية ابن تيمس said الالتفات إلى الأسباب شرك في التوعيد ومحو الأسباب أن تكون أسباب نقص في العقل والإعراض عن الأسباب بالكلية قدح في شرع وإنما التوقل المأمور وإنما التوقل المأمور به ما يجتمع فيه مقتظ التوعيد والعقل والشرع ابن تيمس told us رحمه الله something very powerful which is turning away from the means is slandering the religion when a person says I don't want to come with the means I'm going to rely on Allah you're actually slandering the religion and it's also it's an illogical absurdity and also sufficing yourself with the means and not relying on Allah is what نقض للتوعيد it is nullifying once to heed وشرك في الأسباب and it is what شرك in the means number 14 the 14th lesson that we take from the corona virus outbreak is والله خير وأبقى الله سبحانه وتعالى is the one who's going to remain والله سبحانه وتعالى is the best there's no one greater than him but what really is sad when you look at the world today and you observe what is taking place you come to realize that the people the minute this corona virus outbreak happened epidemic a lot of people they took all of the precautions they took this very serious they really did what was required from them as you can see if you go to countries they've done lockdown in their country people can't go out people have been isolated in their houses quarantined people are prevented from traveling in and out the country but they've been taken for the religion the deen of الله سبحانه وتعالى has been disrespected and it's been wronged and it's been abused by people and no one really gave much importance to it this reminds me of what I once read in the كتاب با بحمد الغزالي بحمد الغزالي mentions in his كتاب that he said يتتني الصلاة في الجماعة الصلاة he missed the جماعة in the masjid he didn't participate in the congregation I missed the جماعة he said فعزاني أبو صحق البخاري أبو صحق البخاري came to me and he came to give me عزاء means when you lost a loved one he came to my house as though I lost a loved one I missed one جماعة أبو صحق البخاري was the only person who came to me ولو ما تلي ولدن but if I was to lose one child he is saying حاتم العصم if I was to lose one child العزاني أكثر من 10,000 more than 10,000 people will come and they would give me their عزاء meaning they would show and express their sadness of the loss of my child and they would come over to my house to give me kind words to reassure me of خير and good 10,000 people would do it but the only person who came to me when I missed the جماعة was أبو صحق البخاري and look what he said حاتم العصم after that لأن مصيبة الديني أهوا عند الناس من مصيبة الدنيا because the calamity that happens is insignificant to the people in comparison to the calamity of the world the issues so what I can say here is as the Prophet ﷺ used to say the 15th lesson that we take from the coronavirus outbreak is you may dislike something and in it for you is good you may not like something but in it might be good و لذلك the Prophet ﷺ he told us in the famous حريث عجبا لأمر المؤمن إن أمره كله خير و ليس ذاك لأحد إلا للمؤمن إن أصابته صراء شكرا فكان خير الله و إن أصابته ضراء صبرا فكان خير الله فاسنائشن و وانده is in the affairs of the believer كل of the affairs of the believer is good and this is for no one else except the believer the Prophet ﷺ said if he is going through a times of joy he shows gratitude and if he is going through times of hardship he shows patience and this is good for him both situations are good for him الإمام الخطيب البغدادي you mentioned in his tariq that الفضل من سهل he became sick in khurasan he became ill and then he became better فجلسل للناسي so he came out for the people and they came to greet him and they came to say to him that may Allah give you cure and quick recovery when they all finish what they wanted to say to him he stood up and he said to them إن في العلالي very in the illnesses are لنيع من ينبغي للعقلاء أي علموها very in the illnesses are benefits that the wise people should try to take from they used to leave them it's an expiator for the sins وتعرض لثواب صبر and he allows a person to come with the servitude of patience وإقاذ من الغفلة and he awakens a person from the heedlessness that he was in والدكار اللي نعمة في حال الصحة and it allows the person to truly understand the blessings that he had when he was healthy وستدعاء للتوبة and it also calls for repentance and it also encourages a person to do صدقه so he understood وعسى أن تكره شيئا وهو خير لكم you may dislike something but in it is good for you number 16 the 16th lesson that we take from the corona virus outbreak is فإن يقريب وعلي الله تبارك وتعالى is close brothers and sisters الدعوة الصادقة a true supplication تفتح لها أبواب السماء the doors of the Samaa is open for it ولي ذلك الله سبحانه وتعالى he says in the Quran if my slave asks me عني فإني قريب I am close أجيبه I accept دعوة الدعي the dua of the one who is supplicated I accept his dua إذا دعاني when he supplicates to me حسن البصريه he says ومفتاح السماء الدعا the keys of the sky meaning what opens the doors of the sky every house has a key that opens the front door the doors that opens the sky is a dua أنا سمن ماليكن he said إن الله لا يمتح قلب العبدي بالدعا الله سبحانه وتعالى he tests a person's heart with supplication وها مبنو منبه ينزل البلاء فيستخرج به الدعا calamities come and dua comes about to rectify that situation to make that situation a better situation وذلك الامام البخاري رحم الله إن صحيح he chapted باب الدعا برفع الوباء والواجعي the chapter supplication to remove plagues viruses illnesses and poverty also الامام النسائي إن السنة الكبراء he chapted الدعا بنقل الوباء supplication to remove calamities to remove viruses and plagues ولي ذلك إن فتح الباري he says علاج الأمراضي كلها بالدعا واللتجاء إلى الله أنجح وأنفع من العلاج بالعقاقير وأن تأثير ذلك وانفعال البدن عنه أعظم من تأثير الأدوية البدنية ولكن إنما ينجع بأمرين ولكن إنما ينجع بأمرين أحدهما من جهة العليل وهو صدق القصد والآخر من جهة المداوي ووقوة توجه وقوة قلبه بالتقوى والتوكل والله أعلم ابن حجر رحم الله he mentions is more stronger than the medicine that one takes and that it has a greater effect than any medicine a person can take but he then mentioned there are two things in which are required in order for the dua to be very effective the first one is من جهة العليل وهو صدق القصد that the person has a true sincere intention in their supplication والآخر من جهة المداوي so that is from the angle of the person who is sick and from the angle of the person who is curing if it's going to be if it's going to work is قوة توجهه وقوة قلبه بالتقوى والتوكل the doctor and the medicine the one who's given the medicine has strong faith in Allah and he has تقوى then it will work some people they make dua and it doesn't work and they make it again it doesn't work and they leave it ابن القيم he says which is also known as الجواب الكافي he says ومن أنفع الأدوية one of the greatest forms of dua is الإلحاه في الدعا to be persistent in your dua number 18 إنما هذه الحياة الدنيا ما تهاع the 18th lesson sorry the 17th lesson that we take from the coronavirus outbreak is that this dunya my beloved brothers and sisters is a very short period of time الله سبحانه وتعالى he says in the Quran أفرأيت إما التعناهم سنين ثم جاء ثم جاءهم ما كانوا يعدون ما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يمتعون الله سبحانه وتعالى he says أفرأيت إما التعناهم سنين do you see محمد if we give them a short period of time to enjoy themselves ثم جاءهم ما كانوا يعدون and then it comes to them that which has been written for them that which has been promised for them has come their way ما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يمتعون that which they were enjoying in this dunya will not suffice them from that which has been promised for them let's look at what the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said about this dunya the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said as an imam muslim narrated in his صحيح والله مدنيا في الآخرة إلا مثل ما يجعل أحدكم إصبعه هذه وأشارب السبابة في اليم فليونظر بما ترجعوا the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said والله and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم we already believe what he says imagine if the prophet said والله the prophet said مدنيا this dunya is not in accordance to the آخرة except like a man or a woman who takes their finger their index finger and they place it inside the ocean let them look at it comes back ومالحيات الدنيا إلا متاع الغرور this dunya is a deception it isn't what you think of it الإمام أحمد in his كتاب الزهد he brought a statement of عيس بن مريم that عيس بن مريم in he said بحق أقول لكم truthfully I will say to you guys إن أشدكم دنيا أشدكم جزعا على المصيبة the ones from amongst you who loves the dunya the most is أشدكم جزعا على المصيبة it is the ones from amongst you who whenever calamities come they become shaky and they fall straight away number 18 لا يبغون عنها حولا the 18th lesson that we take from the corona virus outbreak is that this world we are going to always toss between الصراء والضراء times of good and times of hardship وبين النعماء والبأساء times of good and times of hardship بين العافية والبلاء we are always going to go through that it is jannah only where there is only one situation and that is good and it's also the nahr where there is only one situation which is bad الله سبحانه وتعالى he says خالدين فيها he says about the people of jannah to أهل الجنة خالدين فيها لا يبغون عنها حولا they are going to stay in jannah forever لا يبغون they do not want anything to change in their affairs مطرف من الشخير he said إن هذا الموت قد أفسد على أهل النعيم نعيمهم فطلوبوا نعيما لا موت فيه death has busied and is corrupted and it's taken away from the people who wanted to enjoy the enjoying death has death has taken away the joy from us ماذكرة في موضع إن إلا ضيقه death is never mentioned in a place except that the people start becoming uncomfortable it corrupts the people's blessings مطرف من الشخير he said فطلوبوا نعيما لا موت فيه hope and work for seek a place where its blessing has no ending there is no death to it number 19 the 19th lesson that we take from the coronavirus outbreak is وخافوني إن كنتم مؤمنين فيه الله سبحانه وتعالى if you're true believers the coronavirus الله سبحانه وتعالى he sent it and it is what it is from the universal signs of الله سبحانه وتعالى التي يخوف الله به عبادة it is Allah placing in our hearts fear to turn back to him that's why Allah said in the Quran وما نرسل بالآيات إلا تخويفا we don't send these universal signs except to make you scared scared of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and so that you run to him سبحانه وتعالى ابن كثير he brought the statement of Qatada when he came to the ayah وما نرسل بالآيات إلا تخويفا he said إن الله خوف الناس بما يشاء من آياته لعلهم يعتبرون ويدكرون ويرجعون he said إن الله خوف الناس verily Allah he has placed fear in the people's hearts بما يشاء من آياته from whatever of his universal signs الله once لعلهم the purpose and the wisdom behind this is لعلهم يعتبرون so they can take Ibra lessons from it ويدكرون and they can take a reminder from this ويرجعون and they can return back to their Lord الله سبحانه وتعالى أنا سبن مالك and he said as ألمام البخاري narrated in his Sahih كانت الريح الشديدة إذا حبت عرف ذلك في وجه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم that if the wind was strong إذا حبت عرف ذلك في وجه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم if the wind was very strong the face of the prophet would change and he would be scared and some of the narrations mentioned he would go into his house and he would walk out and he would walk into the other room he would walk around and he would recite the ayah فلما رأوه عارضا مستقبل أوديتهم قالوا هذا عارضا بل هو مستعجلتم به ريح فيها عذاب وناليم from the universal signs الله destroyed nations what destroyed the people of Noah is it not rain from the universal signs of Allah الله destroyed a nation with wind سبحانه وتعالى so the universal signs and these calamities that we see that are happening these catastrophes and these viruses are وما نرسل بالآيات إلا تخيفة we should be scared of Allah سبحانه وتعالى last but not least فإذا فرغت فانصب the last and final lesson that we take from the corona virus is الوقت هو مادة الحياة that the true essence of each one of us is time we are nothing except time that came together we are time that has come together we need to honor time and value time especially now that we are isolated and we're all at home we're working from home we are not going to work we're not going to school or universities it's a moment to contemplate and it's a moment to connect ourselves to Allah سبحانه وتعالى أحمتان مغبون فيهما كثير من الناس الصحة والفراغ two blessings many people don't realize its value and how great it is the first of them is health and the second one is time this moment that the corona virus is out there it's killing people it's taking lives of loved ones we need to remember الصحة والفراغ and the health that we have those of us who are not afflicted and the free time that we have now we're at home doing nothing it's a time we bond ourselves with the Quran and we memorize it and we study it and we learn it it's a time when our tongues do not become dry from the remembrance of Allah العلمة محمد الأمين الشانقيطي فإذا فراغت فنصب he said حلن لمشكلة الفراغ التي شغلت العالم حيث لم تترك للمسلم فراغا في وقته لأنه إما في عمل للدنيا وإما في عمل للآخرة he said فإذا فراغت فنصب is a solution for the problem of free time that has busyed many people this dunya has busyed many people so you're either busy running after your worldly affairs or you're running after your آخر affairs عبد الله بن مسعود he said something very powerful he said إني آي لأم قوتو الرجولة I dislike a man أن أراه فارغا for me to see him free ليس في شيء من عمل للدنيا ولا عمل للآخرة he's not doing any actions of the dunya nor is he doing any actions of the hieraft it's just sitting somewhere I hate to see this عبد الله بن مسعود and he's saying وذلك it was transmitted from جمال الدين القاسمي رحمه الله it was said about him he saw a group of people playing and he looked at them and he observed them and he said I wish time was something that could be bought and sold I would have bought it from these people يعني my time is so tight and these people have so much time extra time to play my beloved brothers and sisters now that you're isolated now that you the quarantine has been done benefit from your time by connecting yourself to Allah praying many sunan and begging Allah سبحانه وتعالى for this epidemic to come to an end anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrected from me and shaitan that Allah has messaged our free from it سبحانك الله وما بحمدك أشدوا الله إله إلا الله أستغفرك أتوب إليك
