Iman Allah, with the prayer

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings be upon you.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Merciful, the Merciful, the Merciful, the Peace and blessings of the Messenger of Allah

Wa Alaa'alihi wa Ashabihi Ajma'in, my beloved brothers and sisters,

in the previous episode we spoke about Zakaria, may peace be upon him, when he was informed that his wife was expecting,

he asked Allah for a sign, because obviously he wanted to face the people with goodness and he didn't want to face the negative words of the people.

What to do? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala taught him the most amazing thing that many of us take for granted.

Listen to what Allah says in verse number 41.

Qala Rabbi Jalli ayaah, qala ayaah, tukallah, tukalliman, asathalah, asathalah, asyaaah,

Ayamin, illa aranzah, wa thukur, rabbaka, kathiram, wa saba'bih, bil'a'ji, wa l-ibakaah,

he says, oh my Lord, give me a sign. Allah says, your sign is that you should not speak to people. Silence, be quiet.

Don't even try to respond. Be totally silent. Don't speak to people for three whole days, meaning for a period of time.

And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, remember Allah a lot and praise him, worship him in the morning and in the evening.

So keep worshipping Allah, keep praising Allah and remain silent. Don't talk to people.

This matter is too big for you to resolve. We will resolve it for you. Brothers and sisters, in times of crisis,

a lot of us like to talk a lot. Be careful. Speak less, praise Allah, worship Allah, morning and evening.

And you know what? Only say that which is beneficial. Sometimes if you have been falsely accused,

the result of it or should I say, the matter is made worse when we speak, when we try to clear ourselves.

Sometimes you may have to remain silent. Sometimes people may refute you. They may say bad things about you.

It's okay, in this age of social media, you don't need to respond to everyone. It says more about them than it does about you.
