أساعدة وما يساعدة أن يلتقوا إذا كنت لذا كان ذلك ممتن أنها ستكون جداً جداً than the one who is going through deep grief because they are attached to having something or something materialistic i.e. an abundance of money like their neighbour does but because they aren't able to get it they get into more of a state of grief and frustration and anguish and worry ايضاً ايضاً ايضاً the two causes they're going to be very different say they will have her own journey if you like and it's going to be a test from our last panel it's out et cetera for the more menin however for this individual the root cause is really coming from their materialistic affection affection for the materialistic world and therefore just as a first point to ponder of one you're a site this line of those are we need we need to ourselves reflect and think have there been moments where am i currently going through a moment where i am in deep grief and anguish and what is the cause of it can i pinpoint it to something materialistic that i am attached to that i have a yearning for more and more and more and actually it's completely unfounded it's completely against or not at all towards our last اعلى and it's a first level of reflection for us that maybe it's coming from a place of weakness in my faith and an attachment to this world so as we said when i when we recite this line to our we're asking for that root cause to also be cut off so if i am in that state i really pray that that root cause that attachment be it whatever that worldly desire if it's fame if it's money if it's power if it's whatever it is if it's nothing to do with Allah and therefore it's completely materialistic that inshallah that root cause is cut away going beyond this then i need to then assess that when i recite this line what if it is that for example i when i seek to be lifted from my grief it should be that i can go towards my lord so whatever it is that i whatever the cause of this grief is i need to ensure that when i pray for its remedy and the cause to be solved that it takes me towards Allah that it's a vehicle it unlocks me to go towards الله so taking that first example again off the one who is for example hungry for for more money because their neighbor has it by asking for this to alleviate me of this anguish that root cause needs to be taken apart and as a result i need to see that journey towards Allah thereafter that now this shackle has been removed i'm able to now continue my journey towards الله and similarly for example let's say if you are in a state of anguish and a state of grief due to being in a state of poverty first of course you ask الله to alleviate you from that state but so that you can then go about living your daily life as normal and continue in a notion of safetyness that you're going to survive that now you can spend your time focusing on becoming even more involved in your فكر of الله سبحانه وتعالى and your journey towards Allah and similarly if you're facing a tough illness you ask for that relief to come about so that you can then have the strength to continue in your فكر of الله and your journey towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى so just to conclude this first point which is that there is a root cause behind that anguish and grief we need to identify it first we need to see where it comes from and once we understand where it comes from assuming it's on this side that we mentioned which is one of attachment to materialistic world that I can detach from it but equally whatever the state that I am in whatever it's caused I need to ensure that I have the mindset that whatever it is that it is that lifts me out of this anguish that I then am able to in that state of freedom if you like journey towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى and when we recite this line perhaps going on to a different point now we reflect on this on who who are actually going those who are actually going through severe grief you know we really reflect on those people around the world or at least perhaps we should and we should because they're going through war perhaps or they're finding they're they're going through economic challenges or difficulties or sanctions or health pandemics we should really be reflecting on them however some people do come forward and say you know this isn't going to do much what's the point why should we even bother in thinking about those you know it's not going to do anything you know they're they're suffering they're in a different country it's not going to do anything if i'm reflecting on them and there's kind of three steps to this to respond to this notion of what's the point you know just forget about it then we're never going to see them in our life first of all is that our natural conscience should want to know the situation of our brethren and if we don't there is a question to be asked as to whether i've become that selfish and that obsessed with myself that i really don't have a disregard for any of those around the world that's a very worrying sign and one that we need to address very quickly if i really don't care about my brethren's state of anguish and grief due to you know unfortunate situations like an economic sanction like health pandemics like war afflicting just because i'm safe you know it's okay so we should really have a yearning to ensure that they are well and they are okay and if not what their situation is secondly they may say you know okay well we even if we remember them we can't do anything from you know a materialistic perspective you know i can't change how x country sees y country and i'm i'm i'm i'm just a you know i'm just this random guy living in london who what am i going to do you know pay my tax and that's it and i think it's a very defeatist mindset if we take that not only because there are things from a materialistic side that we could do and we'll come on to that but that we shouldn't neglect the first thing which is our دعاء and our prayer and this is something that we mentioned in uh earlier sessions which was around not forgetting that when you have a yearning for something when you want to supplicate for something first you go towards الله سبحانه وتعالى and then go and carry out your actions we usually do it the other way but first have that conviction in الله سبحانه وتعالى and then go about doing what you can so the doors of دعاء are always open and you should use them we should use them we should never neglect the power of دعاء and thirdly and this was the point that i mentioned about you know the physical side of it i also need to do a reality check on myself which is living in this comfortable situation that i'm in where you know i haven't got this war against me or these sanctions against me etc am i intentionally or unintentionally actually contributing towards the affliction of one of my fellow brethren now what could that look like yeah but it maybe we'll just say you know it's that's just you know hearsay but actually there's some concrete things that we could actually be doing that contributes to it first thing you know from the democratic right that i have am i exercising that in a way that is contributing to a party uh getting into power who then carries out such atrocities or that as a result goes and marginalizes certain communities therefore uh exerting affliction and grief upon them because if so i have to answer for that at some point i find there may be you know no true party to or clean party to elect for but am i actively trying or am i actively endorsing a party that is renowned for it is you know something i need to assess secondly for example with my business am i partnering with companies you know just to get for my revenue sake that i know are actively involved in uh in in affiliating with organizations and other entities that are then marginalizing certain communities and causing grief and affliction just for the sake of revenue for example thirdly with my purchases you know am i boycotting the right purchases am i am i boycotting purchases that i know are wrong and actually the companies that are behind those goods are actually actively promoting marginalization and grief upon certain communities that involve my brother and just for the sake of my satisfaction of my day today now these are all very you know practical things that also we need to reflect on that is this just the mere utterance of you know relieve the the anguish that these guys are going through or am i am i actually actively assisting in that albeit inadvertently but i've got an active role in it and we shouldn't underestimate the power of having people come together and uniting in in in this as a start it can really make a difference and look at the end of the day if you are watching this that means that you do have some level of power you are in a much more fortunate position than many you have access to internet you have access to a device that you can see this being broadcasted on so you are in a position of some financial i wouldn't call it might but some sort of financial stability that others would greatly benefit from and with that in mind we should therefore say you know what yeah i do have an ability and i do have a practical responsibility to try and extinguish this anguish of another of course quran tells us that you don't have to do more than you can handle we're not obliged to do what is beyond in our capacity and we see that in صورة البخرة verse 286 والله سبحانه وتعالى says بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الله does not oblige a soul saved to the extent of its capacity so you can do something you don't need to go up and you don't need to do something incredibly beyond your capacity you know you just do something within your capacity that can actually make a difference for who are going through such deep anguish so if i can support a family for 10 pounds 10 dollars 10 euros 10 whatever per month yeah i should do so i should i should i should try especially in this month i should really give it a go in and try because that could really alleviate from a very difficult position that if i was in i would you know be be yearning for be yearning for and equally if i have 11 in an organization you know power i won't call it power but a level of leadership and authority in an organization am i trying to do something without to divert the attention and efforts towards helping this suffering and if not am i setting up organizations to help with that i need to do something active to try and do something about lifting the affiction from my brother as i said it needn't be beyond our means of quran tells us that otherwise if we don't again it's just back to this notion of mere lip service which we know is not going to suffice and we understand that there is so much beauty in actively going out to try and instill happiness within the believers and it's something that we should pursue attributed to the prophet the following hadith it says من صر مؤمن فقد صرني ومن صرني فقد صر الله whoever makes you believe a happy has indeed made me happy and whoever has made me happy has indeed made الله صبحانه وتعالى happy we have a second hadith attributed to the prophet إنه في الجنة دار يقال لها دار الفرح لا يدخلها إلا من فرحة يتامل مؤمنين surely there is a place in paradise called the house of joy and none would enter therein save one who had made the believers among the orphans happy there is great benefit in doing something that contributes to the happiness of those who are in a very tough position maybe الله صبحانه وتعالى is testing them maybe it's for other reasons but still we have a responsibility to go and try and help them to try and lift them out of this situation and just before we head to our summary one last point is that whilst we've spoken about lifting out of such moments of anguish and grief there are some situations where grief is very much promoted in our faith and it's it's important for us يمام عليه عليه السلام says صور المؤمن بطاعة ربه وحسنه على بمه معايز reported to have said this that the happiness of a believer in his is in his obedience and his grief is due to his sin his grief is due to sin the happiness of a believer is in his obedience and his grief is due to his sins when we are remorseful and in deep grief and worry once we've committed an act that is contrary to the sharia of الله سبحانه وتعالى and the displeasure of that grief that we then experience is one that is positive for us it's a positive grief that we should go into so we should feel shy to feel that grief when we wrong our creator again this comes back to what is the cause of the grief and in this case it's one that will then take us closer to الله سبحانه وتعالى and this is a beautiful place to be a place of repentance and Torah because we know الله loves the one who returns to him seeking forgiveness so to conclude we've discussed a few different points here all quite you know thin but uh you know once to ponder over and reflect on firstly we saw that this this makrub comes from kareb karebala which you know perhaps is the first comes from i had deep anguish this is coming from the line الله مفرج عن كل مقرب الله relive every deeply anguished one so firstly we saw that this makrub comes from kareb and therefore meaning deep anguish secondly that when we pray for this anguish to be lifted we pray for its causes to be lifted too and then we recognize that the causes can be very different the causes of say this ain't it was grief on ashwar are going to be very different to the grief of someone who is in love with the materialistic world and is unable to obtain what they want and they get more and more stuck in this state of grief and then when we yearn for being lifted from this state of grief we should ensure that once we are alleviated from it and we have that free head that we then journey back towards الله سبحانه وتعالى that that shackle has been removed from us that challenge has been removed for us and now we can journey back towards الله سبحانه وتعالى we then did a sense check to think am i actually uh actively contributing towards someone else's grief through my position of authority through my wealth through my day-to-day decision-making my purchase etc am i contributing to someone's grief thereafter we acknowledge that i do also have a duty to try and lift someone out of this affliction that it's very highly seen upon in our faith to be still happiness amongst those who are in a tough situation and it's a beautiful thing to do for a believer and finally we reminded ourselves that amongst all of this grief there is a type of grief that is highly recommended and that is the grief of the one who has wronged their lord and wishes to grieve and return to him in a state of repentance this is something highly recommended especially in this month and insha'Allah we ask الله سبحانه وتعالى to allow us to be amongst those who are in a state of repentance and turning towards him and of course we Allah ask الله سبحانه وتعالى أنت تفرج عن كل مكروبه ينقذ كل مكروبه جدًا جدًا جدًا one ان شاء الله سوف ترى لنا and join us for the next session as we go further into this دعاء والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
