Bismillah and Rahmane, al-hemdoelil Allahi, Allah, and al-Sala to al-Salam and our Sulla. My dear brothers and sisters and Islam, today I want to remind myself and you of a beautiful truth. That is to make time for Allah and he will make time for us. And, inshallah, to Allah, today we will be talking about balancing our daily life through connection with Allah, subhanna, and our fast-paced lives filled with the deadlines family responsibilities, studies, and work pressures.

Many of us feel overwhelmed, but Allah, but Allah, suprano, His infinite mercy has given us a divine solution to bring peace, order, and barraka into our lives, a sincere connection with him. Allah, Supperanu,sa'a, Allah is never too busy for you. And we know this because Allah, Allah, the loss upon and what's Allah says in the Quran. He says in sort of 40, I have 60. And your Lord says, call upon me. I will respond. Think about that. And I want you to think about this. Seriously. The Lord of the heavens and the earth is telling you, just make time to call upon me.

Just make time to connect and talk to me. I will respond. Imagine the king of kings promising that. You know, we complain that we don't have enough time. But what if the very reason we're struggling is because we don't give time to the one who controls time. We have to prioritize Allah and he will prioritize us. The Prophet of Allah, Allah, Allah, He will say in our authentic hadith, whoever makes the hereafter is concerned, Allah will place richness in his heart, bring his affairs together, and the world will come to him desperate, being

reelected. And whoever makes the world his concern, Allah will place poverty between his eyes, scatter his affairs, and he will get nothing of the world except that

except what was decreed for him. So when we make Allah our focus, whether it's through Salah, Dikr, dua, or simply remembering him. during our tasks. He brings order to our chaos. He brings berica blessings in our time, in our sleep, in our work, in our family. But if we neglect him, then no matter how many hours we work or how effectively we plan will feel like we're chasing something we can never catch.

And the power of Salah in our daily life is extremely important. We think that Salah is is just a ritual, but in actuality, Salah is not original, a ritual. It's a divine appointment that we make five times a day to reconnect with our Creator. And Allah, supranahua, and the Quran, indeed, the prayer prevents immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. This is Sura al-Ankabut, Sura 29, aya 45. And the prophet, sallah, alexand when he was overwhelmed with life's burdens,

would say, give us comfort with prayer. He did Allah give us comfort with prayer. He didn't see prayer as a burden but a relief. So when we're drowning in stress, take a moment to disconnect from the world and reconnect with Allah. He is the source of all strength and clarity. And your provision and your time,

are in his hands. It's not yours. You don't control anything in this world. You don't control anything that you do in this world. Allah, controls all of it. Whether that means that you're going to go to this place today, you're going to go to this place,

you're going to say these things, you're going to have this today, you're going to make this much money, you're going to have this much time to do these things. And Allah, isupon al-a-u-tala specifically reminds us. He says, and whoever fears Allah, he will make for him a way,

and will provide for him from where he does it expect this is surah sixty-five I have two to three if you're worried about time money deadlines or even emotional overwhelm overwhelm it your solution lies in tukwa in conscious awareness of a loss upon Hohasaela take time to pray Take time to pray, to reflect, to say a heartfelt and sincere, subhanal-al-a, al-hambhali al-hambhali al-hambhali al-hambhala-ah and watch how your life begins to transform. You'll get more done with less stress and you think about it.

Imagine beforehand you couldn't read the Quran, you couldn't, you couldn't cook properly, you couldn't do this, you couldn't multitask on all these different things, and you start doing this, and now you have the ability to do these days. And that is the barraka, the blessing of Allah, subhahua, T'a'a. He puts barraka within our lives when we put our lives in his hands.

We say, yeah, Allah, forget it. I can't do anything without you. I rely only on you. You know what, your Allah? Let me stop trying to completely plan every moment of my day out. And when something doesn't go right, I get upset. I get frustrated. and I am I'm just

because we all feel like that I felt like that before but instead you say yeah Allah you have it is your you put it in your hand this is this is your plan maybe it wasn't meant for me to go to this place because this is going to happen to me maybe it wasn't meant for me to do this today because

maybe I wasn't going to be able to focus and get it done and guess what I didn't do it today and guess what else I got to do and replace it that I got to do something I had never done before maybe I got to pray to hunt you maybe I got to go and read an extra I have the Quran that I never ever get to read. Allah,

will bless your lives of the baraka as long as we put our lives in the hands of Allah, subpa, or the time. Because ultimately, nothing we can do, we cannot prevent anything. If you try to prevent somebody

from punching you in the face, they're still going to punch you in the face. I don't hear what it is that you're trying to do. If it's meant for them to punch you in the face, it's meant for them to punch you in the face.

If it's meant for you to step on a thumb tag, it's meant for that. You cannot change that. Allah, is the one who decreed that. He is the one who's placed that test upon you. And every moment of our life is a test.

And our daily life becomes worship with the right intention. As we know that the Prophet of Allah Allah Allah Allah Allahi waslam says actions are judged by intentions. And every man shall have only that which he intended. So you're going to work, you're caring for your kids, you're studying, you're shopping. All of these things can become an act of worship if your intention is to please Allah, Suhpanahu, Tala. You know, suddenly your day becomes spiritually productive. Just imagine that.

You go to work and it's like, I'm working for the sake of Allah. I'm working to provide for my family with halal income. And guess what? You might think, oh, you know, well, I'm doing my life. worship I'm doing what we'll be doing I can go work at a ridiculous job I can go do these things I know these things are happening I know I'm helping in these different things but instead you decide you know what whatever I don't care I'm still gonna do it you imagine you go work at a place and the money that you're helping them make is going and that money is going into the weapons that they're

building to destroy people in other countries just imagine that to kill other people you go to provide for your family but imagine that you taking that money providing for your family somebody else just lost their family because of the work you're putting in so we should always have halal work and halal income

and it is both important so dear brothers and sisters in the rush of life do not forget the one who gives you life make time for allah subhanahua ta'a'a He will bring ease, clarity, and barraka in your life in ways you never imagine. The Prophet of Allah, Allah, Allah, He was said, take advantage of five before five. Five things.

He said, your wealth before your old age. Your health before your sickness. Your youth before your old age. Your wealth before your poverty, your free time, before your busyness, and your life before your death. Start today with one sincere dua. One sincere dua, one heartfelt, heartfelt dua, one moment of reflection.

Give time to Allah, and he will give time, blessings, peace, mercy, tranquility, everything that we need upon us. May you forgive me, Allah is upon us, allah, grant us all. Halal income, forgive us for our sins. allow for us to all become better Muslims daily. And may he all grant us all,

genital for those. Amen, jazakum and al-a-a-a-qa-ma-haer for listening. Asanaamu-a-a-a-a-a-a-homatulahi.
