00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,600
Asalamo Ekum, this is your host 
Nosheen, and welcome to another 

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,920
episode of Journey to Janna. 
Before we start today's episode,

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,480
I want to put in a disclaimer 
that I am not a scholar of any 

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,760
kind and all my information is 
taken from credible sources. 

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,480
Just wanted to get that out of 
the way so we can start today's 

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,840
episode, which I am very, very 
excited about. 

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,280
Because this is the very first 
episode of my new series, 

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,560
Soulful Moments. 
I was wondering what the first 

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,350
episode. 
Should be about. 

10
00:00:28,350 --> 00:00:32,590
And I realized what better way 
to start than to remind you that

11
00:00:32,710 --> 00:00:35,150
Allah loves you. 
It's a beautiful topic that 

12
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:39,390
touches the core of our faith. 
Unlike in this dunya where who 

13
00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:43,670
we are and what we look like and
how much money we make is often 

14
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:47,430
the means to which people use to
assess if they like us or not. 

15
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:50,990
And Allah doesn't care about all
of these conditional things. 

16
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:54,750
Allah's love is unconditional. 
I want to remind you that 

17
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:58,930
Allah's love is unparalleled. 
And it has no bounds. 

18
00:00:58,930 --> 00:01:02,650
Allah's love for his creation 
for us isn't based on our 

19
00:01:02,650 --> 00:01:05,610
wealth, on our status or how we 
look like. 

20
00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:10,410
Allah reminds us of this in 
Surah Al Imran chapter 3 verse 

21
00:01:10,450 --> 00:01:14,850
31. 
Say oh Muhammad, if you should 

22
00:01:14,850 --> 00:01:18,450
love Allah then follow me. 
So Allah will love you and 

23
00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:22,250
forgive you your sins. 
And Allah is Forgiving and 

24
00:01:22,250 --> 00:01:25,450
Merciful. 
Allah's love is an invitation. 

25
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:28,730
To draw closer to him and to 
follow the teachings of his 

26
00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:31,450
Prophet Selahari was Salam and 
seek forgiveness for our 

27
00:01:31,450 --> 00:01:34,210
shortcomings. 
On top of that, Allah's love 

28
00:01:34,210 --> 00:01:37,810
isn't limited to our moments of 
happiness and success, but it 

29
00:01:37,810 --> 00:01:40,690
also extends to our times of 
hardship and despair. 

30
00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:44,130
We can see this through the 
story of Prophet Ayu Bale Selato

31
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:48,210
Assalam, who endured severe 
trials and yet he remained 

32
00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:50,850
steadfast in his faith. 
He was a devout servant of 

33
00:01:50,850 --> 00:01:54,210
Allah, wealthy and blessed with 
a loving family. 

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,520
However, he was put through a 
series of trials where he ended 

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,880
up losing his wealth, he lost 
his health and he also lost his 

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,040
family. 
Imagine losing all of that, like

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,920
imagine how hard it was for him.
However, despite all of his 

38
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,120
sufferings, he never lost hope 
and Allah's love and Allah's 

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,880
mercy. 
In the end, Allah's love did 

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,360
prevail and Prophet Ayub Alais 
Lato Islam was restored to his 

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,280
former health and. 
His wealth he became healthy 

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,280
again and he had his family 
again as a testament to the 

43
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,120
power of having unwavering faith
or Iman and Allah's limitless 

44
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,440
love. 
Another verse that highlights 

45
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Allah's love for his creation 
for Again for you is found in 

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:49,170
the Quran and. 
In chapter or pseudo 50 verse 16

47
00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:53,010
and we have certainly created 
man and we know what his soul 

48
00:02:53,010 --> 00:02:56,610
whispers to him and we are 
closer to him than his juggler 

49
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,930
vein. 
This reverse reminds you that a 

50
00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:04,330
lot the all knowing and all 
aware is not only aware of your 

51
00:03:04,330 --> 00:03:07,930
innermost thoughts and feelings 
but is also closer to you than 

52
00:03:07,930 --> 00:03:11,250
your own juggler vein which if 
you didn't know is a vein that 

53
00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:14,630
is located. 
In your neck he is saying that 

54
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:17,550
he is closer to you than even a 
vein that is inside of your 

55
00:03:17,550 --> 00:03:22,950
body, which means that his love 
and attention are always 

56
00:03:22,950 --> 00:03:25,910
present, they're always there 
and he was always there for you 

57
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:30,590
for a few moments. close your 
eyes and if you aren't able to 

58
00:03:30,590 --> 00:03:35,870
at the moment, then just breathe
slowly in and out and the hustle

59
00:03:35,870 --> 00:03:39,410
and bustle of life. 
It's really easy to forget just 

60
00:03:39,410 --> 00:03:43,850
how deeply you are cherished by 
Allah's bhanumathala. 

61
00:03:44,210 --> 00:03:47,490
Allah loves you, and His love 
for you knows no bounds. 

62
00:03:47,730 --> 00:03:51,570
It's a love that surpasses 
understanding, A love that is 

63
00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:55,210
always there for you, guiding 
you, protecting you, embracing 

64
00:03:55,210 --> 00:03:58,490
you even in your darkest and 
lowest moments. 

65
00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:01,770
In the midst of this gunya, it's
natural to feel overwhelmed or 

66
00:04:01,770 --> 00:04:04,730
feel lost. 
But remember, Allah's love is 

67
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:06,770
unwavering. 
He knows your struggles. 

68
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:10,180
Your fears and your hopes. 
He sees the tears you shed and 

69
00:04:10,180 --> 00:04:12,900
the solitude of the night and 
the smile that lights up your 

70
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,140
face when you find soulless in 
His remembrance. 

71
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:18,740
Allah loves you and He is ever 
merciful, ever compassionate. 

72
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,620
No matter how far you may feel 
from Him, know that Allah's love

73
00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:25,900
reaches you, surrounds you, and 
draws you closer to Him. 

74
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:29,260
There is no sin that you can 
commit that is too great, no 

75
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:34,580
mistake, too significant, that 
can deter the love that Allah 

76
00:04:34,580 --> 00:04:35,860
has for you. 
His love. 

77
00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:41,150
Is a beacon of hope that is 
guiding you back to the path of 

78
00:04:41,230 --> 00:04:43,590
righteousness. 
And through the joys and 

79
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:47,110
sorrows, triumphs and the 
defeats, Allah's love will be 

80
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:50,190
your constant companion. 
It's a love that uplifts you, 

81
00:04:50,470 --> 00:04:54,150
forgives you, and empowers you 
to rise above your challenges. 

82
00:04:54,190 --> 00:04:56,430
Allah's love will never let you 
go. 

83
00:04:56,850 --> 00:05:00,210
Even when you falter or when you
stumble in the depths of 

84
00:05:00,210 --> 00:05:03,450
despair, when you feel alone, 
know that Allah is there, 

85
00:05:03,450 --> 00:05:06,170
holding your hand, guiding you 
back to the light. 

86
00:05:06,450 --> 00:05:09,610
His love transcends your 
mistakes and reaches out to you 

87
00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:13,490
even in your darkest moments. 
Remember that no matter how far 

88
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:16,850
you stray from Allah, Allah's 
door is always open for you to 

89
00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:20,370
return, seeking His love and His
forgiveness. 

90
00:05:20,530 --> 00:05:23,890
As we continue our journey to 
Janna, let us embrace Allah's 

91
00:05:23,890 --> 00:05:25,570
love, knowing that we are 
cherished. 

92
00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:29,030
And valued beyond measure, 
throughout this following week, 

93
00:05:29,030 --> 00:05:32,390
remind yourself of Allah's love.
Remind yourself that He is with 

94
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:35,230
you wherever you are. 
He sees and knows what you're 

95
00:05:35,230 --> 00:05:38,350
going through, and He is giving 
you unconditional love. 

96
00:05:38,470 --> 00:05:42,110
Until then, may Allah's love and
peace be with you all as Salamar

97
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:42,510
ekum.
