You know looking at the reality of what is happening in the world today

one of the verses in the Quran that is very pertinent for us

is a verse that was revealed after some of the tragedies

like the Battle of Ohid when the Muslims were feeling a little bit demoralized a little

bit down and Allah is a little bit down and Allah Azawajal revealed in Suritan Nissa

in Takuu t' alamoona fahinah whom y'alamuna kamuna t'a alamuna moo nahmina kamana t'alamun.

What arjuna me in Allahhaimah mala yarjun.

If you are in pain, then realize they too have pain like your pain.

Both sides have suffered.

This is in the Battle of Uhada is saying.

In Takuu Ta'a al-Muna if you have tragedies if you have had loss of life if you are bleeding

Realize they too are in fear and bleeding they too are in pain. Then Allah says what is the difference

between your side and their side? What are june am in Allahi?

Ma la Yarjune. But you have a hope and an optimism and a positive spirit with Allah that they do not have.

So today's brief Haterra will be about the reality of this hope, the reality of this Raja,

the reality of this optimism that Allah commands us when we feel down, when we feel deflated, when the world seems to just throw us so much bitterness,

when there doesn't seem optimism, Allah says the two sides are not the same.

They're never going to be the same because yes you have

suffered tragedy. Yes you have suffered defeat and yes by the way so have they

it's a two-way street in that regard but on the one hand you have a law and you have hope in a law and you have Raja in a law and they have no such equivalent.

So what is this hope and what is this Raja and how many categories are there? That's going to be our brief talk today.
