Alhamdulillah, we pray. May Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, accept our dua. May Allah accept our prayers. May Allah protect us all in our families. Brothers and sisters, Alhamdulillah, my short reminder this morning is to remind you as a brother in faith that make dua and be certain in your dua. Certainty in dua. As human beings, brothers and sisters, at some point of our lives, we will be faced with trials and tests. And this is the promise of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala as he said, Allah promised to test us, so we will face tests. We will go through many tests and trials and tribulations. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala said Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala promised to test us. So you will be tested. But subhanallah, sometimes the tests, you know, it becomes so, you know, overwhelmed that we feel that nothing is working. We tried everything because it's so huge on us that we become overwhelmed that Subhanallah, what is happening? I did this. I did this. I did this. It's not happening. Subhanallah Brothers and sisters, we are blessed with one thing and that thing is called but subhanallah, make dua with certainty. Be certain in your dua. If only you know who you are calling upon. Allah is waiting to respond to you. And. And he promised to respond to you. And your lord said, call upon me, I will respond to you. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala is waiting to respond to you because he is al Mujibu, the responsive God, the one who penetrate through every obstacle in order to respond to your dua. So, brothers and sisters, at dua a dua is our weapon, is what you have that will give you the calmness, the happiness and the hope and tranquility. Because you know you are calling Allah. You know who Allah is. Allah. You are calling upon the one who raised the sky without any pillar that you see. You know he can solve your problem. Just look up. Look, we are in the Masjid Mashallah, Epic Masjid. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you all. We have pillars holding this building. Without these pillars, the building will collapse. But Subhanallah, go outside and look up. You see the sky. Have you ever seen any pillar holding the sky? The one you are calling upon is the one who raised the sky without any pillar that you see. And you know he can solve your problem. So call with certainty. Look at his sign again. Just look at the bird glide in the atmosphere. Do they not see the bird glide in the atmosphere? Sometimes, brothers, the bird will Spread its wings. Sometimes it hold the wings, but it's not going to fall. None is keeping that bird from falling except who Allah. So Allah. Those who believe. This is a sign for you to know how great your Lord is. So be certain. When you are making Dua. You are calling upon the One who gives hope after people have lost hope. You are calling the One who give gives hope after people have lost hope. Listen to the Ayah. Allah will let the Allah is the One who sent the winds and it raised the clouds and he spread it in the sky as he wills. And he breaks it into fragments. And you see rain coming forth from the cloud when he makes that rain fall upon whom he wills of his slaves either whom he established. Now they are joyful, they are happy. But listen to this my point here. Even though before the coming of the rain they were in despair, they lost hope. So Allah is telling you further. Just look further. Observe. Look at the traces of Allah's mercy. How he revives the earth after its death. So Allah can change your sadness to happiness. He is Al Qadir. Allah can change your sadness to happiness. Allah can make it happen. The Prophet said. Allah said in Hadith Al Qudsi. He said I am for my slave. What he thinks of me. So how do you think? And what do you think about Allah? What is your hope in Allah? Do you know who Allah is? If you know, then make dua with certainty. Make dua with hope. Because you know he can. And whenever he decrees a martyr, he says to eat. What? I want to hear you what he says what Kun? This is the Lord that you are calling upon. When he decreases a matter, he says to it be and it is. This is Allah. Didn't you hear? Indeed. Nuhun called upon us and we were the best to respond. Because Allah is who? Al Mujeeb. The responsive God. The one who answers his slaves whenever they call Him. So call with certainty. And let me give you one last example, brothers and sisters. Just you remember what happened to Musa, him and his companions. Him and his people in front of them, the sea behind them. Fir'aun as Allah says, you have Allah. Allah is there for you. Brothers and sisters in faith. If you want your Dua to be answered, have Al Ikhlas. Be sincere with Allah. Know that you have no one except Allah. Know that Allah is able. He is Al Qadr. He can take care of you. He can remove the pain. He can change things. He can bring happiness after sadness. Always be sincere with Allah that you believe in him hundred percent that he can solve your problem believing in him. Is there any God with Allah is only Allah. He is the only one who removed the tribulation. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala solve all our problems. Brothers and sisters, in faith, at the end, I want to remind you with the poem of Imam Fahasbuk Allah, you have Allah. Remember, you have Allah and Allah is waiting to receive you. So number two, we say ikhlas. Number two, think positive of Allah. Number three, make sure you eat halal. Very important, make sure you eat halal. Whatever you put in your mouth, in your stomach, make sure it's halal. But sometimes you may ask, but some people are eating haram and Allah keep blessing them. That's not blessing, it's called a damaging blessing. It's called. So, brothers and sisters, make sure what you eat is halal and always continue the dua. Do not stop. Be steadfast in your dua. And be patient if you want your dua to be accepted. You see one thing, brothers. Allah's time is the best and he knows best, right? Allah's time is the best and whatever he does is good. Moon.
