Assalamualaikum For those who missed Ustadha Yasmin Mogaheds talk, heres a summary as done by one of the attendees; Bismillahirrahmannirahim... Reclaim Your Heart by Ustazah Yasmin Mogahed: 24/04/14 1. Lailahaillallah -transforms ppl (eg. disbeliever into a believer) -heals the heart through the Quran -everyone submits to something - what are we slaves to? - we should only be slaves to our Creator -the most important objective in life, our greatest fear should not be to gain more money or status 2. We will surely be tested in terms of fear and hunger - the fear in this world is just a glimpse of true fear -the true fear is when one is abt to enter jahannam (naudzubillah!) 3. Dont just say my iman is in my heart - need to translate to actions - when we say we love something/someone, we dont just say I love you, we SHOW it -e.g. A mother doesnt just say she loves her child, then leaves the child to starve! She would care for her child, stay with him/her the whole night if she has to. -therefore when we say we love Allah SWT and His prophet SAW, we need to prove it with actions (i.e. Solat, fast, zakah, cover aurah, follow sunnah, etc.) 4. What we love most becomes our Master. Thats why its dangerous to love the creation more than Creator. -e.g. If we say we love money/status the Most, it means that well do anything to gain more money/status. Even if it displeases Allah. 5. When a hardship befalls you, recite Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun -indeed we belong to Allah, and to Allah is our return -includes our money, health, spouse, intellect, etc -Allah has made a deal with us, if we say Innalillahi wainnailaihi rajiun when any hardship befalls us, and we remain patient, then His reward will be an abundance of His Mercy and His Guidance. 6. Tawakkul (to surrender) is the healing for fear - entrust our affairs to Allah -Al Wakil: the Trustee -your Protector is the Owner of the heavens and the earth. How can you be afraid of losing anything? 7. How do we deal with our fear of dying? -prepare for it -theres no point worrying without preparing! 8. Why am I tested with the same test again and again? -there is something you need to work on, -there is something you need to learn -youre probably responding the same way after each test -e.g. a professor would ask you to retake a test again and again because you keep failing. -Similarly, Allah swt is teaching us through tests. 9. Most importantly, we need to know that True suffering is when were away from Allah even when everything is going well. And True gift from Allah is when were close to Him even when everything seems to be going bad. Allah knows best! (: May Allah swt increase us in beneficial knowledge and the ability to act upon it. Amin.
