Give your zakat now and be light in the darkest hour.

Together with the help of Allah, we have the power to bring hope and happiness

to families in need.

Assalam a l'rahmatulah and barakato. When we call out to Allah, when we supplicate,

when we beg from Allah, when we ask him, when we pray to him, people wait for the response.

They ask him for something and they want it.

And it's difficult because we don't know when we're going to get what we've asked.

And we keep asking Allah.

He wants you to have hope in his mercy and he wants you to have hope in his mercy and we he wants you to have hope

in his response he tells you when you call out to me I hear it I respond

Allah is hearing and Allah responds in a way he knows is best for you because he's the most merciful.

So because Allah is merciful, if you're asking for something harmful,

he would give you something else that he knows is not harmful.

But because you don't know the future, he kept something away from you,

knowing that that is going to be destructive

for you in whatever way the destruction would be. So therefore, out of my love, I know what you

asked me. Trust me, I've given you something better. Imagine a little baby ask you for a gun and in turn you give

them a sweet or you give them something much more meaningful a toy because you know if this child

gets a gun they would pull the trigger one day and cause death or cause harm.
