 Assalamu alaikum everybody this is Yusuf Azhar wanted to share a quick summary from a khutba that Sheikh Hamza Yusuf delivered for the MCC East Bay community. This is for the Eid al-Adha prayer and this is the one that he did in 2019. So let's jump right in. He books a lot on Ibrahim A.S. He talked about the lessons that we can get from his life around absolute submission to Allah also about patience and adversity and about being grateful for blessings. He said this he had this quote and it was really good quote which was that any person who wakes up secure and that person also has a healthy body that person has their provision you know their food and what they need for that day it's as if that person has a whole world. Another thing that he said that I thought was really good was that our iman our iman should be the same with Allah whether we're up or we're down regardless of our condition. Another thing he said was that Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. and our prophet Muhammad Sallallahu A.S. they would do the right thing regardless of whether people would criticize them and attack them or not. All right one of the most interesting stories he brought up was about this guy named Kevin Hines and he said that that Kevin Hines he decided that he was going to commit suicide so he goes to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and then he um he jumps off. The interesting thing is that he he doesn't die instead what happens is that a sea lion actually comes and holds him up until he gets rescued. Didn't die the sea lion comes he gets rescued and it's just this whole miraculous event but what's amazing is that that guy said that as soon as he jumped off the bridge immediately he regretted it. He immediately regretted jumping off because you know his intention was to kill himself. Anyway I thought that was a beautiful story about how we should actually appreciate our life no matter how difficult it is. Another thing he said was about what to do in times of fitna like our in our time right and there's a lot of fitna and he said the process I'm actually mentioned that that there's going to be a time and there's going to be immense fitna and people are going to be confused so he was asked about what to do and he basically said to hold fast to the book of Allah to have Allah and now I'm just going to get to three action items that I personally took away from from that khutba. Number one read understand and act on the Quran. Number two we should choose to believe because belief is a choice. Okay number three is that we should keep our faith our imam strong and renew it through zikr. All right that's that's pretty much it. Asalaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
