I hope you all are well. I'm that a lot it's great to be back. I think I came to Drexel

I don't I think it might have been six seven years ago. So I don't was anyone here when I came to Drexel. Oh, okay.

Y'all have moved on at this point, right? So it's about six seven years ago, probably. And I'm the loudest. I mean, it was one of the most memorable trips that I had and

It's a blessing to be with you here. And I know that in settings like this Q&A is far more valuable. So I won't speak for too long.

inshallah to Allah. I'll offer some remarks on this concept that I hope will be a little bit different or at least in reaching to what you already have heard about when it comes to

Soboda when it comes to patience. So when it comes to this this beautiful eye or two eyes in the poor and

In the matter of Suryusua in the matter of Suryusua rarely with difficulty comes ease rarely with difficulty comes ease. Now I'm just going to take a

Show of hands. I mean, how many of you feel like the Khutbas and the lectures in the last two years have revolved around this concept? Have you all heard a lot of Khutbas about difficulty? Yeah, okay.

One of the things that I see with this discourse is that a lot of this comes down to whether or not you're going to apply some of these basic concepts.

From the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in regards to how to show Soboda.

You know, if you think about it, at the end of the day when you're talking to someone that's going through a hardship, it's a lot easier for you to find the words to give to them.

Then it is for you to actually express them in a heartfelt way when you're in the midst of a difficulty. And that's why sallam, the the blessing of simply saying alhamdulillah, the blessing of simply praising Allah sallahu wa ta'ala saying alhamdulillah when you are in difficulty is in and of itself enough to build you a home and paradise. It's not this long prayer that you have to say it's not something that's elaborate or comprehensive. It is one phrase.

In the midst of difficulty that at the first strike and the submit to the ula to say alhamdulillah is enough to have a home built in paradise called the house of phrase in hamdulillah, you don't have to do much more right it's not complicated, you don't have to sit there and think about what you what you remember.

And you know, it was really interesting when I think about how simple that is and how beautiful it is.

I had a friend of mine who was in a really bad car accident, and this is what I think about when I think of this had even the simplicity of it.

And in the midst of this car accident when they got in they started asking and said what's your phone number and you couldn't remember his phone number right or phone number of a family member or a friend right when you're in the midst of it, there's a level of shock right I said the only thing I kept on saying was alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah so I forgot my phone number but I didn't forget alhamdulillah because the believer is so accustomed to constant hemmed to constantly saying alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah, thanking Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that you hope that when the test comes that that will be your natural first instinct, but in order for it to be your natural first instinct, it has to be your regular habit, the same thing as this dream that we all have that Allah takes us saying what what do you want to be saying when you die.

Alhamdulillah, so you all you all said you want death to get to you while you are saying that Allah may Allah give us all that ability to say that Allah at the time of death may Allah make it our last words on our tongue and in our heart, you're not suddenly going to come up with that Allah if it wasn't a regular vicar, you know, if you think about the prophet's life time when he says keep your tongue moist, keep your mouth moist with that Allah.

As a form of remembrance, what a blessing from the prophet's life time to teach us something so simple yet so profound because if you are accustomed if you train your tongue to while when you are walking from place to place, walking the class going somewhere else, you're saying, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, constantly moving your tongue with it.

Then when that moment comes to you of death, whether it is sudden or if it is at the end of a long extended trial, la ilaha Allah will be natural for you because you've made it a habit to constantly say, la ilaha Allah, so it's very simple things with huge rewards to say alhamdulillah at the time of Mosheba at the time of tragedy guarantees you what a house of praise and paradise.

To say, la ilaha Allah, at the time of death guarantees you entrance into paradise because the prophet's life time said whoever dies and la ilaha Allah is their last words, dachala l-jannah, you will enter into paradise. That's why Allah doesn't give it to anybody.
