Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends
00:00:03.340
I'm not going to hold you guys much long, just a couple of minutes
00:00:06.580
Very important, there is rumours going that there might be an absolute lockdown within 48 hours
00:00:12.040
What this means is that everybody is going to be told, just as they did in Italy, in Spain and different parts of the world
00:00:19.080
To stay in, nobody's coming out, unless necessary, of course
00:00:23.760
Now brothers and sisters, there's a lot of things to be learned from this
00:00:28.300
This is a very, very urgent message, not because there's a lockdown happening in 48 hours
00:00:32.500
But there's a bigger, bigger thing that we all have to understand
00:00:36.420
And this might sound a bit cliche, but it's fundamental for us to understand this
00:00:40.820
A lot of the times, we are told that when it comes to obligations as Muslims that we should do
00:00:46.380
We are told, for example, sometimes we'll say, you know what, I'm busy to pray
00:00:50.380
I've got children, etc, it's hard, I need to earn money, I don't have a break
00:00:55.820
I need to go and do this and do that, I'm not feeling well, etc
00:01:14.580
Right now in 48 hours, what that means is going to be an absolute lockdown
00:01:19.800
And what that means is that we're all going to be in our own houses with our family members
00:01:25.500
Which I've done a video in Salaam, which you guys should check out
00:01:29.740
This has also forced us to be in our family houses with our own family members
00:01:35.760
What's really important is that when we're going to be in our houses
00:01:43.680
I'm going to be busy with this and that and blah blah blah
00:01:47.780
Now the question that needs to be asked is the following
00:01:52.900
And for those who are not doing their obligations
00:01:55.100
All those excuses, external excuses and influences are gone
00:02:17.800
Then the question that needs to be asked is the following
00:02:29.340
Kids, family, this that, mum and dad have to do this
00:02:34.740
Or is it that there's something internal going on that's preventing you from praying
00:02:47.560
That means all of those external things were nothing but an excuse
00:03:01.780
We really want to convey this message to you guys
00:03:05.220
Please for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:03:10.460
That we send a smaller calamity before the greater one
00:03:20.560
We have to have a trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:03:22.400
In 1990 there was a same issue that happened in Spain
00:03:32.620
To understand that Allah is the one that's in control
