 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers. Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and companions. Peace be upon you all and upon you all. My brothers and sisters, we are on the last of the Hikaiyat and advice of Hatim al-Assam, may Allah have mercy on him. The eighth point, where he said, I have seen people that they place their trust in their own abilities and in things which have been created by Allah like themselves. So they trust their own abilities or they trust maqlouq. And he said, but I have read in the Quran where Allah said, And whosoever, which means whosoever has taqwa of Allah, He will extract him from his difficulties, will make a way out for him. And will provide him from sources that they could not imagine. And whoever puts their trust in Allah, then he will become sufficient for him. And so he said, Hatim al-Assam, may Allah have mercy on him. Hatim al-Assam, may Allah have mercy on him. So I have placed my trust in Allah alone. I remind myself and you that we live in this world for a short time. And then we go before Allah. And therefore it is essential for us to make sure that we do not do anything which displeases Allah . Now, if you see the advice of Hatim al-Assam, may Allah have mercy on him. And that is reason why we go before Allah. christ, and gunning into what mapping us into. And let us stop with this for a moment. and world we talk about the self-made man. I am the master of my own destiny. You must have heard these statements. These statements are kufr. Because Allah is the master of destiny, not me. But Allah has given me some abilities and therefore I must have confidence and nothing wrong with that. Now the finest example of this, and that is why I keep on saying all the time over and over again that the seerah of Rasul is the tafsir of the Quran. The seerah is the tafsir, explanation of the Quran. The point that Hatim al-Aswami is making which is that you may have confidence in yourself but ultimate confidence and trust is with Allah. This is illustrated in the story of Rasul Al-Aswami. This is illustrated in the story of Rasulul Ahmadi. This is illustrated in the story of Rasulul Ahmadi. Because Rasulullah have made his two devotions. One is he sent his safety missions, he 허� vielleicht sampai ke overcoming all the obstacles with his company and he gave his Person ofôle ahhiy DID to тем who feel, for example, thatthird ofbe puttheirrumin their series of battle, whereas his troops lose, but all the people on the course of the first journey reached to the battle of Badr. O Allah, if these people perish, then there will be no one to worship you on the face of the earth. And he said, O Allah, help me. O Allah, help me. O Allah, help me. Until Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, radiyallahu anhu, he couldn't see Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in such a state of concern. He said to him, Basti ya Rasulullah, your Rabb will not abandon you. So does it mean he had no confidence in himself? No. He had confidence in himself. He had confidence in whatever material resources he had. But the ultimate confidence is in Allah. The issue of taqwa is to be concerned about the pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala alone. And to have a single-minded focus to say that everything I say or do, every decision I make, everything I choose to do. Whatever I decide to do or not to do will be done only with one focus, which is does it please Allah? And that is why I see the beauty of what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says. Think about this. Allah is saying, Wa ma yattakhi illa hai aja allahu makharaja. The One who has taqwa, I will extract him from his difficulties. I will help him. I will help him. Allah is saying, I will take him out of his difficulties. Allah is not saying I will give him the power to get out.
