| 0:00.0 | Today, in shal al-Tana, we'll talk about a common theme that we all face in our lives, and that is the |
| 0:09.9 | emotion of fear, of hoof. And what the Quran tells us about how to battle this emotion of |
| 0:15.6 | Khauf. The Quran has over 100 verses dealing with the concept of being scared and a lot of people have a very simple misunderstanding |
| 0:25.0 | and they think that if we are scared of something |
| 0:28.0 | automatically this means we have weak iman. |
| 0:30.0 | If we have fear of something, this means that we have failed in our Iman with Allah |
| 0:34.5 | sophana with Allah but it's not that simple at all and so in today's brief |
