Sheikh Uthman Hadi - The blessing of health A Gift From Allah

Starting point is 00:00:00 Salaamu alaqmahmahe and barakatu, my dear brothers and sisters. I am sorry that it has been a big period of time from my last talk that I did. And, you know, I pray that everybody is doing good. I pray that Allah, Sufana, a Allah has blessed us all with a blessed day, with a blessed time. And I pray that Allah, Sufana, a Almighty Allah, eases us of... troubles and hardships that we may be going through and forgives us of our sins and our shortcomings and grunts as mercy. You know, I just overcame a sickness that I was faced with about a week ago, and supran Allah, it made me really ponder upon life, and it made me really,

Starting point is 00:00:51 really understand how much as humans, as believers, we take for granted our health. We take for granted the ability to be healthy. And, you know, I thought about how when we are healthy, we are able to worship Allah, Sufanao Zala, we're able to fulfill our responsibilities, engage in acts of kindness towards others. But the moment that we get sick, we feel down, we get sometimes upset.

Starting point is 00:01:25 We feel as if this is just horrible. When in actuality, getting sickness should be a closeness to Allah suhpaniahuata that we should gain. And we must remember as believers, as people, that health is not guaranteed. You know, many people around the world face illnesses and challenges that hinder their ability to live life,

Starting point is 00:01:54 as we would say, fully. But this reality isn't just for people in a certain place. This isn't just for people who are of this race or just people of whatever the case might be. This is for all people. As the Prophet of Allah-A-u-Salam has told us, take advantage of your health before you have it, before you do not have it. So, you know, taking advantage of our health. And to actually quote the Hadith,

Starting point is 00:02:28 the Prophet's Allah-Haw-A-L-A-W-Salam said, there are two blessings that many people lose, that is health and free time. You know, I do understand that sometimes it can be a pain, and it can be a true burden to try and handle our sicknesses under whatever the case might be that we're trying to do that for. But at the same time, we should also see this as a mercy from Allah, and a way of connecting to him, gaining closeness, and practicing our gratitude

Starting point is 00:03:01 because we realize that when we are sick, we are not able to do these things with ease anymore. And we think about the people who are sick now and after us being sick, and you realizing the blessing that Allah is upon you of being able just to talk easily, being able to not have to worry

Starting point is 00:03:23 about blowing your nose or whatever the case might be for your sickness and sometimes it's worse than others. but whatever the case might be, not having to worry about those things, you realize that the other people who are going through struggles, someone has a struggle that may be worse than yours. And it makes you appreciate that Allah, Sufanahu, Tallah, has made your life simple, that he's giving you a small sickness. That he has not made your sickness very big or made it very painful or made it something that is going to last for your, the rest of your life. So, many brothers and sisters, I just want us as believers, as worshippers of Allah Supperu'u'u'u'u'a to realize that being grateful is a gift because there are many

Starting point is 00:04:18 people who are not grateful. And if Allah Suu'u'u'u'u'a has given you the ability to be grateful for something, then that is a gift from him, just as Islam, just as being. in a close relationship to him is a gift, but the most importantly, the summary of this topic today is health. Your health is a gift from Allah, Sufanahāā'u'u'u'a. So use your health wisely, use your health for goodness while you have the opportunity. Don't waste your time, don't waste your days, don't just waste all of your time, you know, doing nothing or doing things that are not going to bring you closer to Allah,

Starting point is 00:04:58 to Allah, to Allah, forgive us for our sins and our shortcomings. There's us all mercy in this life and the next. I pray that Allah, subanahu, Taha'u, He was those who are sick. I pray that Allah, frees the people of Palestine, Palestine. I pray that Allah supanihuata allows for us

Starting point is 00:05:18 to all understand the true benefit of gratitude. And I pray that Allah, supranahu, Tala, allows for us to to allow a prayer that Allah, Allah, allows for us to truly use this life for good. I mean, Jazakhanal, for listening. I apologize again for not having anything out. And I'll have it,

Starting point is 00:05:45 and al-hambul-lilah, and al-hamsul-lilahemin. And, al-a-a-a-a-a-harmat-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a.
