00:00Everybody from us has hardships in life, but recently I have so much pain and stress and
00:21difficulties that nearly every door I want to go, it gets closed or it gets cancelled
00:28or I'm late or it's delayed and I try to remind myself like what would a prophet do
00:37in this time and I know they had sabr and I know they had iman, but when I want to do
00:46this, translate this into actions, I don't know how, like I don't know how to really
00:53have iman in Allah that no matter how hard it gets, I stay strong, I don't get weak
01:01and know who Allah really is in my heart.
01:04What doors are closing, can you tell me?
01:07Maybe school, marriage, sometimes little things I want to do with my family members sometimes,
01:18for example, go out and it gets cancelled, I don't know why and because life is about
01:25a lot of difficulties and failures, yes, but every time a door opens, you don't wait for
01:32another door to open, you push another door open, yes, you have to look for it yourself,
01:39okay, look, but what should I understand the message from Allah, what is it that you have
01:46to become more resilient, you have to become more resourceful and more creative and how
01:51can I become more resilient, I try to read Quran, one thing doesn't work out and you're
01:57like why did this not happen, you know, like you know how birds sometimes they crash into
02:02the window over and over again, if the birds had a little bit more brain, they would find
02:07another way, yes, that's what I mean by resilience, it's not just that you have to just take a
02:11situation and be patient, if one door isn't opening, look for another door, when that
02:16closes, look for another one, then that one, look for another one, but keep looking, and
02:20how can I get to know Allah, let me give you an example, if you couldn't find a job, then
02:26you apply to another one and they said no, then you apply to another one, do you stop
02:29or you keep going, I keep going, you keep going, yes, and then you get a job you don't
02:35like, you still take it, until something else opens up that you do like, right, so
02:42life doesn't happen on my terms, yes, I have to keep navigating as a new wave comes, I
02:50got to go around it, and how can I get to know Allah more deeply, so my Iman gets strong
02:57in this situation, my answer might be different from other people, to me it is an engagement
03:02with the Quran that connects you with Allah, just reading, like you said, just reading,
03:08for the beginning, yes, reciting, contemplating, learning, and is there any Islamic college
03:16you can recommend to visit, to learn the real Quran and Sunnah with people you know they
03:22are, have Taqwa of Allah, I like International Islamic University in Malaysia, Malaysia,
03:29International Islamic University, ok, I keep, ok, thank you, you're welcome, thank you for coming.
03:59Al-Fatiha.
