We just need to Trust in Allah - Yusha Evans

Allah subhah waala tells us in his most Noble book have trust in Allah if you are indeed Believers we hear this phrase a lot trust in Allah have tole in Allah subhah wa tala but what does it mean what are its implications in our lives and what are the results of having it this is what we'll discuss today shortly inshallah trust is something you give to someone butul in Allah subhanahu waala is trust Beyond capabilities to understand why we trust Allah subhanahu wa taala without knowing the plan without knowing like if you trust someone you usually have reasons that you trust them I trust this person because we've done business in the past you know and he's always been in right right with me and I trust this person because I'm known my We Trust Allah subhanahu wa taala unequivocally une equivocally we trust him with everything but what are its realities what are its realities give you a couple of examples in because the world right now is crazy it's crazy those of you who are looking what's going on on around the world we're not just talking about Ina we're talking about globally globally the world is upside down and it does not seem to be getting any better anytime soon so how do we reconcile this we see the world is full full of Darkness it's full of evil it's full of Oppression it's full of difficulties it's full of hardship it's full of tyrants it's full of tyranny how do we reconcile this with a just Lord how do we reconcile this with Allah subhah waala who is how do we reconcile this with Allah subhah waala who is who is how do we reconcile the two at the time of M there was a Ty as well one of the most famous of all time the there have been many types of pharaohs throughout history but the Fon referred to in the Quran the Pharaoh at the time of Moses was one of the worst tyrants that the world has ever known so much so that Allah subhana wa T preserved him and promised that I would preserve you as a sign to the Nations that come after you and we know today he's still preserved he's in he's in a he's in a museum in Egypt and he's traveled around the world he's probably traveled to more countries than most of us at his time he had bani is in bondage in slavery and they were being persecuted and for Generations they had been making Dua to Allah subhanahu waala to give them freedom to send someone to them to give them some escape and there was a child born named M and when this child was youngon had a a dream that there would be one of these children alive right now that would grow up and overthrow him and be his destruction so what did he do in response he ordered that all of the young sons of bani Isel under a certain age be slaughtered kill all of them this was this is the way of tyrants they just get rid of their enemies so all of these children were being slaughtered left right and center but MSA had to be saved Musa had to be spared so Allah subhanahu wa taala sent an angel to M's mother to musa's mother and told her the plan to save mus right the plan to save Musa was simple take your child your infant put him in a box put that box in the River Nile and Let It Go that was it that was all of the plans she was given she wasn't told anything else she wasn't told the continuation that this is how it's going to go no put him in the Box Allah commanded you to put him in a box put him in the Nile River and let him go now the N River is not some little you know bubbling Brooks like we have here in in Texas the Nile River is is something Ain to the Mississippi you know it's not a river you just jump into I spent a couple of years in in a in a flat right in front of the now River on a road known as in in in Cairo it's not I I never jumped in it you know I would see kids born and raised I think you have to be born and raised in in in Egypt to jump in that River but to place your child in if you are a parent you can understand the complexity of this I have to put an infant in a box I don't know where he's going and just put him in the Nile River but musa's mother had in Allah subhanahu wa tala she did not need to know the whole plan she just knew that if Allah commanded her to do something then she do it and Allah would take care of the rest of the plan now what happens she puts him in the Box the box starts floating down the N River and where does this box end up usually my talks I asked for responses but jum you can't speak where does this box go this box arrives in Pharaoh's backyard and now musa's mother even though she trusted in Allah she also was a mother she was a mother so she sent her daughter to go and see where your brother goes go and look go and go and report to me what happens to him right keep an eye on him this is a mother's love it's unequivocal so the Box goes to's backyard can you imagine if we were in today's world with this modern technology right and M's sister sends a a a picture a text message or a Snapchat or whatever have you to Mo's mother that hey look where this box went this box went to the very backyard of the person whom you put him in the Box to protect him from you know imagine if that was a movie or a TV series going on the box floats into Pharaoh's backyard they show a big picture of his pal Palace and then dun dun dun we'll see you next week all week long we'll be like oh it's over you know that's it that boy is done that's it it's over the game's over he went to the very place he was supposed to be protected from or if M's sister was able to tell her mother this is where it went maybe maybe she would have been like you know this is not what I agree to you know this plan is not working out no no no no I didn't agree to send them to the very person who's trying to kill him Allah doesn't need you to know the whole plan Allah doesn't need you to know the whole plan he works in his own ways Allah subhanahu waala Works in ways that you and I are unable to comprehend this is why he says to have to in him trust him without an understanding because you can't grasp it we know how that story goes is found by who the wife of Fon who held IM in her heart and AIA convinced Fon she took this child and Allah gave her an immediate love for him right she took this child to this is also shows you this is a little side lesson for our brothers is that your wife for those of you who are married and if you've been married for more than 5 10 years you know this already and if you don't learn it now and if you're not going to get Mar if you're not and you're going to get married learn this now your wife has a superpower she has a superpower that superpower is called the power of persuasion that power of persuasion when your wife really wants something if she's been married to you 5 10 15 years she knows you well enough she's going to get what she wants one way or the other I've learned it's easier just to surrender early surrender early in the battle is just is easier much easier for you so Fon convinces through the power of persuasion for Fon to adopt his own destruction not only does he adopt his own destruction they tried to find a wet nurse for this child because you couldn't go to the store and buy formula that's just not the way it worked you had to find someone to breastfeed this child so they brought one wet worse nurse after another after another after another he wouldn't take from any of them this is the command of Allah subhana wa tala he wouldn't take from any of them and M's sisters watching this whole scenario right and they're getting very frustrated so finally she sees an opening and she comes and says look can I give you a suggestion of a woman whom I can bring and I I I can almost assure you that he will take from her at that point the child is dying so they're like you know whatever bring whomever if it works it works so who does she go and get she goes and get M's mother she goes gets his mother his mother comes can you imagine probably her realization when she realizes where her son is he's in the Palace of the very person who's trying to kill him whom you sent it he's in his house now and you're being commanded to come so she goes and as soon as mus sees his mother of course he starts taking from her and then what happens now musa's mother is being paid because this was a job she is being paid a salary from the Royal Palace she's being paid a royal salary and Musa and her are put under Royal Guard look at the plan of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala her and her son are being paid and put under royal guard for his protection so not as only Fon adopt his own destruction he pays for it he pays to protect it he pays to raise it and its mother and we know that mus would eventually raise up leave Egypt and then be spoken to Allah subhana wa T sent back with his brother and they would become the reason for the destruction of and the freedom of B the plan of Allah subhanahu wa tala does not need to make sense to you it does not need to make sense to you Allah knows he understands everything is within his power everything is within his grasp everything is working out exactly as he has commanded and planned it our job as Believers is to have to trust him to trust him no matter what it looks like no matter how it looks like it's going our Command is to trust him he never says to understand me you have to understand my plan you have to comprehend it no just trust me I got this this is the plan of Allah subhanahu waala it doesn't need to make sense to you there was once at the time of the w a woman a woman right this is from the iselia there's a time of the W there was a woman she was a poor woman and she lived her life by sewing things and knitting and she would sew and knit things and take them to the market and sell them and from that money she would then buy enough food for her and her children for that day she was a widow and enough material to knit something for the next day and that's how she lived every single day day to day in and out that's how she lived one day she was on the way to the market and a bird came and snatched up her knitting snatched up that which she had to make for the next day and took off with it and now she has nothing to feed her children and days go by and her children are starving and she's starving this bird is acting upon what from Allah subhana wa tala birds don't have a free will they just do what Allah has commanded them to do so she goes into the Court of and she lodges a complaint she says well first she asks a question she says is Allah just or is Allah unjust to his slaves it's a very strange question right so he ask why do you ask this question someone has to get to a point I know I do I do counseling every single day there has to be when people ask certain questions like this you need to know the why there a reason why this person is asking this question what has happened to bring you to this point so she explains herself right she explains herself on what happened and you know I have nothing now my children are starving is Allah just or is Allah unjust as the all of this is happening some men come in and they're carrying with them big bags of gold and they come in a it's a big commotion because you know they got these men big bags of gold they're not from here and they come and just throw it at the feet of and they say this is for Allah for whomever you deem it to be uh necessary whomever you will for and so dude says hold on a second wait what what is this story now they say we are Merchants who travel by sea and we were on our way from our last trip and it was successful but our sail broke on our ship and we could not navigate the waters and we were got caught in a storm and we had no way to escape it and we thought we were going to die so we asked Allah subhana wa tala we were making Dua for Allah if he would save us from this we would donate all of the proceeds from this Venture for his sake they said not long after making this Dua a bird flew by our boat and dropped some knitting materials and knitting supplies that we were able to use to repair our sale and thus make it to your land and here we are fulfilling our oath to Allah subhanahu wa taala so d looks at the woman yeah he looks at the woman and he asked her the same question she asked him is Allah just or is Allah unjust is Allah just or is Allah unjust to you you have a r who is working for you on land in the air and that sea so is Allah just or is Allah unjust and he gives all of it her and makes her a wealthy woman cuz this belongs to you Allah subhah wa tala made this plan for you you don't need to always understand sometimes we ask oh Allah why me why you putting me through the difficulties why are these tests happening because Allah has a plan Allah has a reason nothing comes into your life nothing happens to you unless Allah has willed it and decreed it not a leaf falls from a tree nothing happens within this universe except it is perfectly in Allah's order and the way he has willed it to be our job is simply to trust in him subhanahu waala when our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was surrounded in his house in Mecca by assassins his house is surrounded there's nowhere to go they're going to kill him tonight Allah orders him to leave he doesn't know what's going to happen he has no idea what the plan is but he knows that Allah has commanded him to leave so he leaves he walks out of his door reciting from the Quran blows some dust and nobody even sees him nobody even sees him they don't even watch him walk away you don't need to know the plan after that he would meet Abu Bakr because Abu Bakr had stayed behind you know everybody else had made Hijra This Is The Love we'll talk about this in our upcoming series on on the companion promised Paradise Abu Bakr had such love for the prophet he waited he waited and he waited and he waited and even the prophet asked him why are you waiting and he you know he said I can't leave without you he said just wait maybe Allah will give you a good companion to go with and so he waited and he left with Abu Bakr and they left at night in the morning the qur find out that he's gone when they find out that his Ali sleeping in his bed and look at the plan of Allah subhana waa Ali lays in his bed willingly that night willingly Ali another one of the greatest men who have ever walked the face of this planet lays in his bed that night knowing very well that there are assassins going to come in and could possibly kill him what did he say about that night he said I've never slept so peacefully he said that was the most restful night of sleep I have ever had in my life with assassins surrounding this is Allah subhanahu wa tala's plan and order as they leaving the qur find out what happens they send many people out to find them they put a big reward out for him a big reward everybody's looking all over the place for our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam to bring him back so they can kill him nobody can find him except for S Malik ends up finding him Sak finds him and sees him ahead of him with Abu Bakr right look at this plan it's just how it's unfolding Sak is chasing him and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and Abu Bakr see him and so the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam makes Dua to Allah to protect them from Sak and what happens his horse falls and sinks into the sand and falls and then he tells and it's stuck so he he tells yeah Muhammad you see they they they know who this man was yeah Muhammad make du to Allah I won't chase you no more so he frees him and then he starts chasing him again this happens a couple of times right and then finally the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam stops and he says how are you going to be what is your condition going to be when one day when one day you are given the bracelets of KRA as Bounty from the Muslim Community soaka is like what in the world this guy is being chased as a criminal he has no Army he has no help he's literally alone with Abu Bakr and he's telling me that I'm going to be given the bracelets of KRA the greatest Empire one of the greatest empires of the world had ever known he leaves him at that point he goes back to in the mechans and be like just leave him he's crazy you know we used to we used to joke about him being crazy he's legitimately crazy this man says I'm going to be given the braces of s what happens at the time of when the drawn sword of Allah subhana wa T brings down the Persian Empire the Roman Empire and the Bounty comes into the Muslim Community Sak had accepted Islam after but Omar was going through the Bounty and he opened a box and he saw the bracelets that K was famous for wearing and he remembered the prophecy of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and he said tell this is the honor and dignity that Allah gives to those who trust him he said tell s come here and he said do you remember Sak do you remember when you were chasing the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and he told you that this would happen and he himself put those bracelets on this is the plan of Allah you don't need to know how it's going to happen you just need to know that if Allah says it will happen it will happen that's all that needs to be known our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam when he escapes SAR what happens the meccans find him again and they run into the cave of H they run into this little small cave for those of you who have been there you know it's very small very small and there's an opening underneath like literally if you look up under you can see all the people that are in it so they hide in this cave because that's all there is and the mechans start coming closer and what does Abu Bakr say to our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he becomes scared he becomes frightened he's human he says oh messenger of Allah if they look down at their feet they're going to see us they're going to find us what does the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam say to him oh Abu Bakr what do you think is going to be the end result of two people whom the third is Allah subhana what do you think is going to happen to two people whom the third is Allah and of course we know the very famous story that they weren't found they weren't caught and our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam would go on brothers and sisters you don't need to understand what's happening in the world I know there's a lot of time we spend we try to over uh analyze you know we try to hypothesize we try to look at the politics we try to look at the Dynamics we try to figure out this is way it's going to work no if they do this look it does not matter whatever Allah's plan is for this world will be whatever Allah's plan for this um is will be it will be we cannot Escape it we cannot Escape it the of Allah is fixed the only thing that can change it the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said is Dua but did Allah know you're going to make that this is all the knowledge of Allah subhah waala everything is already written you know that very famous statement you say all the time it's written it's written and whatever is written with Allah is inescapable it is inescapable we don't need to know the plan we just need to trust the planner because the planner is Allah subhah wa tala they plan and Allah plans and Allah is the best of those who plan Allah is the best of those who plan so all we are responsible for is trusting him trusting him just trust him he knows what he's doing subhanahu waala we just need to stand firm sometimes in our own life we do not understand the way Allah subh is putting things forward and I've mentioned this in one of Myas but I wanted to make sure it was recorded for the for the website and for all of you here today we wonder why Allah is putting us through certain things and as human beings we are obsessed with the why one of the very first things your children will learn how to say for those of you have children you know this one of their first words is almost always why I don't know why it's just a f from children they learn the word why they learn what it means and they use it frequently every time you tell them to do something why why why why why and you're trying to explain to them the why so the human psychology is that we must understand the why it bothers us if we don't understand the why when it comes to Allah subhanahu waala means that you trust without knowing the why you trust it even if you don't understand even if it doesn't make sense even if it cons seems completely backwards you still go forward and you trust Allah subhanahu waala once during the pandemic right because during the pandemic we were asking a lot of wise right all of us locked in our house there was a lot of wise going on in my head during that time I was sitting with my daughter doing a jigsaw puzzle and I've used this so much in my therapy sessions and it's been a tremendous help to a lot of people and it was helpful to me we were doing a jigsaw puzzle and you know when you do a jigsaw puzzle there are lots of pieces that make sense right away edges faces flowers all these different things you know where they go and then there's certain pieces especially if you do the big jigsaw puzzles like my daughter likes to do there are certain pieces that you don't know where they go like a solid piece there's a solid color piece you have no idea where it goes so there were a few of these pieces when we pulled out when we pulled them out and I was asking my daughter like where do these go she's like I don't know I was like okay let's just throw them away then they don't have a place she's like no no why would you do that we're going to need them later on and something clicked in my head that this is this is your life this is your life there are certain things that will happen and this is the world in general there are certain things that will happen that won't make any sense these are those puzzle pieces but the reason they don't make any sense and the reason they don't have a place is because enough of the puzzle has not been built yet enough of the puzzle hasn't been built yet had you continue to build the puzzle of your life as this world's puzzle continues to be built there will be pieces that are missing and then you'll find that piece that you didn't know where it went it will go right there where it needed to go this is the way it always happens way it always happens I questioned why when I was a child was I tortured by my stepmother like literally tortured she tortured me mentally and physically and it it mapped the way my brain works I am highly prone to anxiety till this day in times of ease and I never made sense to me I would ask my therapist why is it that if I am put in high stress situations if I'm in a very stressful situation I'm usually the coolest one in the room my wife says it's very odd about you is that you know my daughter fell down the steps one day and we thought she' broke her back because she was like oh I can't feel my legs you know I can't move because she just you know she had actually like um hit something that had caused her to go numb for a second and everybody's freaking out right but except me I'm not freaking out I'm like let's sit her down don't move her let's call let's see what you know she's like in those high stress situations I'm Uber calm but then if I'm sitting on my couch on a Sunday afternoon watching football or whatnot I have panic attacks yeah out of nowhere boom techic cardia heart rate goes to 170 I feel like Doom and Gloom the angel death's going to walk in the room and I'm like this makes no sense at the time when I'm supposed to be relaxing my brain is sending off fight ORF flight and dropping adrenaline and cortisol and but in I'm a high stress situation I thought it doesn't phase me my therapist said is because you were raised in a war zone you were raised in a war zone you were raised with fear your stepmother always taught you to be afraid anytime she would see me smile she would beat me or torture me any she wanted to make sure I had no enjoyment growing up or locked me in my room for weeks on in she said so that became the normal state of your brain your brain your hippocampus which is the part of your center of your brain it doesn't know time and space it protects you though it stores information for later on she said your hippocampus doesn't know that you are no longer in that threatening situation so your normal stasis is that of war so therefore when you're in those high stress situations your brain knows how to respond because that's how it developed she said but your brain does not know ease and it has not learned peace yet so when you are at ease and at peace that is a warning sign to your brain because that's when your stepmother used to abuse you when you would smile when you would have ease when you'd have relaxation so your hippocampus has stored that and knows that whenever he's in this situation it usually meant danger danger danger so it's sending off these warning signals to you and I'm thinking to myself why would Allah subhana wa tala put me through that as a child or I'm looking at the children like when my daughter comes and asks me about the children of Raza why are they being tortured like if Allah is so just if Allah is so why why are we going why are they going through these things and so I'm asking why did I go through this and then I started counseling I started doing therapy the psychology was my secular studies but I started using it during the pandemic because I realized there was a huge need in the Muslim Community for mental health services and between 20 January 2021 till today I've seen nearly 4,000 Muslims nearly 4,000 Muslims who have gone through so many traumatic things and alhamdulillah I've not had one bad review yet and almost 90% % of my clients have been repeat clients and that is that missing piece of the puzzle is that I went through so much as a child I went through so much I went through prison all these other things so that now when I talk to people I understand I can empathize I can relate people have been through trauma people been through abuse people I watch my mother if you didn't watch my domestic violence tapes go watch them I watched my mother get abused uh when I did finally make another relationship with her literally beat to the hospital Time After Time After Time so when I talk to people who have been through the situations I not only now know how to help them but I can relate to them I can relate to them the plan of Allah subhanahu wa tala is perfect it is perfect you just need to let the puzzle continue to be built and then all of the pieces that are missing will find their place Allah's plan is perfect because it is by him it is by him subhanahu waala so when I tell you to trust in Allah when Allah says have trust in Allah then that means we do it abandonedly we don't need to know what the outcome be we don't need to know how it's going to happen we don't need to know when or where or any of that we just need to know that it will happen by the will of Allah subhana wa tala and I know that the promise the last two I will finish the promise of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is that this um will be Victorious and the promise of Allah in the that the Believers will be successful that's all I need to know that's all I need to know so now my job is just to stay upon that stay a part of this um stay a Believer and the success will come inshallah however meant to happen Allah knows best may Allah subh protect us all
