[0:01]Yes. So, Wahhan Wahhan in the Hadith, Wahhan in the Arabic language is weakness.

[0:07]But the Prophet alaihi wasallam in that same Hadith is the one who defined it as Hub dunya wa kariha al-Maut.

[0:14]He said that Wahhan, this is what Wahhan is.

[0:19]So, um, one of the trials that I went through for the last few years, um,

[0:27]you spoke about you think you are in control. Yeah.

[0:33]Um, so it's why it's why every resource and you do it right, then Allah will take it away from you.

[0:40]And if you don't have patience, he will teach you patience. You like the truth, don't like it. And it depends on how how crazy about you passed that test with Allah Subhanah Wa Ta'ala.

[0:52]And at the end of the ayah, he, uh, it says um, I think, uh, you believe in the hereafter.

[1:01]Yes. Yes. And I think this is the highest level to reach this when you let go of the dunya.

[1:10]Yes. And, um, when I was making dua, I was in my trials, Yeah.

[1:16]And I was crying and I was distressed and I was asking, I told myself, I was I was not getting.

[1:23]I was not getting the lesson. I'm asking about this. Yes. I'm asking about things that I have lost.

[1:31]But I never asked about like, yeah, something like that. I don't know.

[1:38]But hamdulillah, uh, for the first time ever in my life, I'm making my dua first as well. is my goal. Allahu Akbar.

[1:50]Subhanallah. So I'll just quickly summarize that and then inshallah we'll wrap up.

[1:55]Um, beautiful reflection, thank you. Um, she was saying that when she went through a really difficult trial and she was crying and crying and she wasn't able to control the outcome.

[2:03]And she was so heartbroken and and praying to Allah about the thing that she wanted, but she wasn't making dua about the a. She wasn't looking at the hereafter.

[2:14]And in the ayat and you're right in in the ayat that I read in Sura, when it talked about um, and it talked about that um, who are those who are exceptional who are the exception from that.

[2:27]And it was those people who pray and are consistent about their prayer, who give of their wealth and who believe in the a. And so the belief in the hereafter is essential for those deep roots.

[2:41]And you're absolutely right because we're not going to get. And then you can let go.

[2:48]You're not going to be afraid. She's saying you're not going to be afraid about your kids. You're not going to be afraid about your work. You're not going to be afraid about your house because you have given that to Allah Subhanah Wa Ta'ala and we believe in an a. And that is absolutely right.

[3:00]And that's what allowed the people in Gaza to have the response that they had is that it was belief in the a. It was a belief that my children are not dead. Um, they are actually with Allah.

[3:09]And I will see them again. It's all about. It's all about the hereafter. Absolutely. Yes. Yes.

[3:16]So the A number in Su the first one I read was A 19 of Su and um Su is chapter 70. So 70 uh starting at A 19. That's where I was reading from.

[3:31]Um and then I the other ayat were in Su Su Maryam. Subh You are perfect. You are the perfect of Allah. You are perfect. You are the perfect of Allah. You are perfect. You are the perfect of Allah. You are perfect. You are the perfect of Allah. You are perfect. You are the perfect of Allah. You are perfect. You are the perfect of Allah.
