And in today's brief Khutbah, I'm going to remind myself and you of a story that we have probably heard many times, but especially in light of difficulty, in light of tragedy, in light of loss, this story takes on new meaning. And every single time I come back to this story and read it, I find something beneficial, or I'm reminded of something that I had lost track of simply because as Allah says,

it's finding benefits of the believers. And this is the story of qhider and musah al-ahis-salam and the three incidents that took place, each one of which involves pain and suffering and trauma and loss

And through navigating these stories, we find comfort and we find relevancy in our own pains and tragedies.

Allah tells us in the Qur'an, and in fact the Prophet gave a very detailed Hadith that explains it and in today's khutbah, I'll mix the two together.

That once Musa alaihi salam stood up and he gave a khutbah a lecture.

And it moved the people so much that one of the people of Bani Israel said,

oh Musa, you are the most knowledgeable person on earth, right?

There's nobody more knowledgeable than you.

He was so impressed with the khutbah of Musa, the lecture of Musa, that he said,

you are the most knowledgeable, right?

And Musa alaihi salam, not knowing who could be more knowledgeable than him, made an assumption.

And he said, yes, I am the most knowledgeable person on earth.

And it was an assumption because he's a prophet, and he has in his own mind the justification to make that assumption.

Immediately Jibril came down and said to Musa, how could you say something without knowledge?

Indeed, there is somebody else on earth that Allah has given knowledge that you do not have.

And you should not have said you are the most knowledgeable.

Musa alaihi salam immediately asked forgiveness and then asked Allah permission to go travel to study with this person of knowledge.
