Transcript

00:00:00.000 I'm a British doctor working in Idlib, Syria.
00:00:03.200 Right now I'm in Al Shifa hospital, which is located in Idlib city and funded by One Nation.
00:00:08.880 On average, each patient that we're treating in this intensive care unit is costing 500 pounds.
00:00:14.640 So many children have died unnecessarily because we doctors don't have the drugs
00:00:20.400 and the equipment needed to save them. With your donation,
00:00:23.600 you will enable us to be able to save lives by the permission of Allah.
00:00:27.280 I used to struggle reading the Quran daily before you instructed me to download this app.
00:00:32.400 I never knew that this app would have such an impact on people's lives.
00:00:35.600 You can go into the description box, click the link for iOS and Android,
00:00:38.880 and build your habit with the Quran right now.
00:00:44.160 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:47.520 Bitcoin has crashed. Bitcoin is a life support machine.
00:00:51.200 Bitcoin is on the verge of death or has died.
00:00:54.240 Are you going to die along with it?
00:00:55.920 Are you going to join the coma along with it?
00:00:57.600 Brothers and sisters who are watching this, if you have invested large amounts of money
00:01:01.920 or great amounts of your savings into Bitcoin and now it's crashed and you have crashed with it,
00:01:06.480 I have a reminder for you brothers and sisters from the Quran and the Sunnah.
00:01:09.840 Everything that happens happens for a reason.
00:01:11.680 One of the beauties that I love about Islam when I came to Islam is that I was aware where my risk,
00:01:17.920 my earnings, my things, earnings are not just money, things are going to reach me.
00:01:22.000 I knew they were in the hands of Allah and what was going to reach me was never going to avoid me or go past me.
00:01:28.000 And what was bound to miss me was never going to reach me.
00:01:31.520 And that contentment, not a lot of people have it.
00:01:34.800 Yeah. And sadly, a lot of Muslims have it.
00:01:37.600 Sadly, Muslims don't have this kind of understanding and tawakul in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:01:41.680 Number two, brothers and sisters, we need to understand something very clearly.
00:01:45.520 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran, we will send you a smaller calamity and wallahi,
00:01:52.240 and you can call this some kind of calamity if you've lost large amounts of money,
00:01:55.360 that this calamity can divert you from the greater calamity.
00:01:58.800 What does that mean?
00:01:59.760 That means that when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sends you something which is devastating,
00:02:03.040 you invested all your money, you lost it, you're in a situation of you're depressed, anxiety,
00:02:08.800 all your dreams have been shattered.
00:02:10.560 It might be that this thing is going to get you and keep you, get you back on track.
00:02:17.440 Maybe this money that he was going to get was going to divert you,
00:02:21.040 was going to divert you from the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:02:24.640 There's a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
00:02:26.960 It is narrated, it is graded as weak by Shaykh al-Bani may Allah have mercy on him,
00:02:32.800 but we derive some rulings in a nutshell, which is the hadith that says that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala might see his servant.
00:02:38.800 and might realize that money is going to be the end of him and that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala withholds that from him.
00:02:46.640 Because he realizes that if he gives him money, it's going to be his destruction.
00:02:50.400 And for some people Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sees that being poor for them is not good.
00:02:56.240 So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala enriches them and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows that money is not going to be a great fitna for them.
00:03:02.880 Hasan al-Basri may Allah have mercy on him said the following,
00:03:05.760 Do not resent the calamities that come and the disasters that occur,
00:03:09.920 for perhaps in something you dislike will be your salvation,
00:03:13.200 and perhaps in something that you prefer will be your doom.
00:03:16.480 And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran,
00:03:18.960 Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you and like something which is bad for you.
00:03:24.480 Allah knows and you do not know brothers and sisters.
00:03:27.680 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling you something.
00:03:30.160 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is trying to make you understand something.
00:03:33.040 If you have lost large amounts of money, you had plans to live a lavish lifestyle, whatever it may be, etc.
00:03:39.120 Because you think that this is going to bring you happiness.
00:03:41.440 You know what's happening guys? You are taking the aqal over the naqal once again.
00:03:45.520 This is the biggest problem that as human beings we fall into.
00:03:48.320 We think we know what our happiness lies in.
00:03:51.120 And guess what? The thing that we know, where do we know it from?
00:03:53.840 The things that we see, glamorous cars, glamorous houses, glamorous women or glamorous men, or whatever it may be.
00:04:00.320 And we think our happiness lies in that.
00:04:02.640 But indeed Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows, maybe not your happiness, your doom lies in that.
00:04:07.840 Let's be very honest brothers and sisters subhanallah.
00:04:10.240 And look, there are some people who have killed their self over this.
00:04:13.600 Killed their self man!
00:04:16.160 Please brothers and sisters, for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
00:04:18.640 let's understand and acknowledge happiness comes from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:04:22.080 Do you not think these worldly affairs will ever make you happy?
00:04:25.120 I have a motto in life.
00:04:26.640 I expect the least and I make dua for the best.
00:04:30.960 Don't get it twisted.
00:04:32.160 If I had the money, if I had it like,
00:04:34.480 Alhamdulillah, with all permission, praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
00:04:38.320 I try to carry money in my hand, not in my heart.
00:04:40.880 Before in Jahiliyyah, it used to be in my heart, not in my hand.
00:04:43.760 Now I carry it in my hand.
00:04:45.200 If it's there, it's there.
00:04:46.000 If it's not, I don't care.
00:04:47.360 As long as I have a halal income, I can provide for my family, I can pay my rent,
00:04:51.600 I can give my wife some money to live by, whatever it may be.
00:04:56.160 As long as I've got that, Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
00:04:59.680 I don't care what anybody says.
00:05:01.200 I live in a one bedroom flat.
00:05:02.800 Yeah?
00:05:03.440 Me, my wife and my two kids live in the same bed, in the same bedroom.
00:05:08.160 Yeah?
00:05:08.560 Not in the same bed.
00:05:09.360 In the same bedroom, my daughter's bed, two daughters' bed, we're in the same bed.
00:05:12.560 Alhamdulillah, Wallahi I'm so happy.
00:05:14.400 You know why I mention this guys to you?
00:05:15.840 Because Wallahi, I'm not ashamed.
00:05:17.840 I'm happy, I don't need even a five bedroom.
00:05:19.600 Wallahi, I'm so happy in my house.
00:05:21.360 Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
00:05:22.720 I am so happy.
00:05:24.560 Contentment is from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
00:05:26.800 Brothers and sisters, peace is from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
00:05:29.040 That is my motto in life.
00:05:30.320 Some people, and I'm going to rap on this, have a go at others.
00:05:32.640 Oh, why are you working at nine to five?
00:05:34.080 You know, you have high aspiration.
00:05:35.680 My brother, if you're working at nine to five, and you're earning a halal income,
00:05:39.360 Wallahi, that is more beloved than Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
00:05:41.360 than somebody who's trying to be an entrepreneur, and wants to make it, and even goes down to Haram Roots.
00:05:45.520 Yeah?
00:05:46.800 There is nothing wrong with a nine to five.
00:05:48.960 Don't make people make you feel like crap.
00:05:51.040 There is nothing wrong with a nine to five.
00:05:54.240 Because in the sight of Allah, you earning a halal income is more dear to him.
00:05:57.600 That's all I have to say, and I'm going to wrap it up with that brother and says inshallah.
00:06:00.160 May Allah make us among those.
00:06:01.360 Now I'm not saying, by the way, if you can make you work your way up.
00:06:04.240 No problem, work your way up, man.
00:06:05.360 No problem.
00:06:05.760 Like I said before, if I had the money, bro, I'll be driving a Bentley.
00:06:07.840 I'll drive a Bentley.
00:06:09.120 Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.
00:06:10.400 But I'm not going to kill myself over that.
00:06:12.080 And it's not my goal.
00:06:13.280 Alhamdulillah.
00:06:14.000 Make our goal and ambition that you have for Bitcoin and invest in here, this, that.
00:06:17.760 Invest in your hereafter.
00:06:19.200 Yeah?
00:06:20.000 Okay?
00:06:20.480 Invest in Jannah.
00:06:22.080 Bitcoin can go, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:06:23.600 Jannah is just gains, gains, gains.
00:06:26.720 Nothing but gains.
00:06:28.320 If only we gave that focus to the hereafter, as much as we do in this hereafter,
00:06:31.440 to the level that people want to take their life.
00:06:33.360 Take their life.
00:06:34.560 May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala protect us.
00:06:35.920 If you're watching this, do not despair.
00:06:38.080 In this, this is probably a blessing in disguise.
00:06:40.480 Maybe it is this that, on the day of judgment, they're going to change you and get closer to
00:06:43.600 Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, that you're going to say, Alhamdulillah, that Bitcoin crashed.
00:06:46.640 Because when it crashed, it was the reason for me to come to the realization.
00:06:51.120 And I didn't crash with Bitcoin.
00:06:53.120 May Allah grant every single one of its Jannah.
00:06:54.640 Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.
00:06:56.640 Now, let's look at it.
00:07:04.160 Let's look at it.
