In this Khutba, Ustadh Murphy explains how we can draw our inspiration and guidance from the Sunnah to navigate the trials of life.

We all know the story about the woman who filled her shoe with water from the well to give to a thirsty dog. But did you ever think, who sent the dog? Often when we talk about why is Allah testing me this way, why don’t we ask why is Allah blessing me this way? Are we paying attention to the blessings and opportunities Allah places in our path?

A question often asked when times are tough. A question that occupies our time and our minds. A question that often confuses us, despite the simple answer. How can we understand the wisdom behind the actions of Allah ﷻ, His qadar, and His rules? How can we understand the wisdom behind facing hardships? How should we balance between submitting to Allah’s ﷻ decrees and exhausting our resources in pursuit of changing our tough reality?

The one who persevered in their dedication and their submission to Allah will be successful on the day of Judgement. This is why patience is important.

Belief is not just a word we may utter, but it is a complete package with obligations and duties. Allah tests how truthful are we to our verbal claim of belief. Allah is always with those who maintain close connection to him during those trials. The results of the recent US presidential elections sent a message to American Muslims to get up and be ready for an incoming test.

What is your weakness? What is your Achilles’ heel?

He who has no one has Allah
By Navaid Aziz:

I want to dedicate it to every individual who is struggling with life and doesn’t know what to do. I want to dedicate it to every individual who may have been abandoned by a father. I want to dedicate it to every individual who may have a love that was not reciprocated. I want to dedicate it to every individual who lost someone to death and found their own selves lost. I want to dedicate to everyone that just wants to be reminded. I want to dedicate this lecture to you.
