"Lā tay’asū min rawḥi Llāh" (12:87).

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says

in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n,

when the son of Sayyidunā
Ya‘qūb ‘alayhi s-salām,

Yūsuf ‘alayhi s-salām, was lost,

they said he was gone. Therefore,

he [Ya'qūb] says, "Do not lose hope."

This is the wisdom of

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

People in this world, who are believers,

should not lose their hope.

Of course, every person makes mistakes

and does wrong things.

There are many kinds of mistakes.

Some are big mistakes which means

committing sins. That is the
biggest mistake.

If you do them knowingly,
that is even bigger.

There is small sin and big sin.

They are of different kinds too.
If you commit

a big sin, you make a big mistake.

If you commit a small sin, you
still make a mistake.

And there are mistakes in worldly matters.

People start a job,

but that job doesn't last

because of their own mistakes

or someone else's mistakes.

They get stuck and cannot solve it.

They worry and

suffer because of it.

There are other mistakes also.
There are mistakes

in studies, mistakes at work.
Because mankind

is not perfect, he makes

all kinds of mistakes.

Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says

to not lose hope. As long as

people are alive,

they can compensate for these mistakes

until they die. After they die,

it is impossible to compensate for them,

especially sins.

When you commit a sin
in your life, realise your

mistake and repent by quitting it –

"yubaddilu Llāhu sayyi’ātihim
ḥasanāt" (25:70) –

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will turn those sins

you committed into rewards.

Because you left them and repented,

as a favour from Allāh ﷻ

it will be written for you as a reward

in return for what you did

when you repented and came
to the right way.

It is the same in worldly matters.

Sometimes mankind

thinks he does something well

but it doesn't turn out well.

He either doesn't know how to plan it,

or even if he knows, there is

the will of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Whatever one's share, one will take it.

Therefore, mankind should not be
hopeless for that.

Their rizq will come.

Sometimes people benefit

from their mistakes. They
make a small mistake

and don't repeat it. They
become more careful

and more cautious. And that is a
benefit for them.

But if you make a mistake and

after are aware of it,

and then persist in it, it is wrong.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given

mind to people.

They should think a little bit.

No matter what,

when it is a worldly matter,

there is no danger. They may lose

their wealth, rizq or so on.

Those are worldly issues.
If their īmān is

fine, the other is not important.
Important are

mistakes that cannot be compensated for.

Those sins are: not believing in Allāh ﷻ,

not thinking about Allāh ﷻ.

But the rest of the mistakes

are for this world.

Mankind goes

from one state to another.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla

gives what is

beneficial for them. As long

as they have īmān, everything
is good for them.

Therefore, they shouldn't be hopeless.

Allāh ﷻ is ar-Razzāq. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla

supports believers. Otherwise,

people get depressed by saying

"If only I did this,
it would be like this..."

all the time. May Allāh ﷻ

protect us from that, in shā’a Llāh.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying,

"Lā tay’asū min rawḥi Llāh" (12:87).

This was

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, in
Qur’ān, telling us about

Sayyidunā Yūsuf and his brothers.

When they come to their father, they said,

"Our brothers, they not coming."

Because, before. he was losing
Sayyidunā Yūsuf, he was sad.

And then he said like this.

He said, "Don't be hopeless

from Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

He ﷻ give everything

and we are believer so don't be hopeless.

Go and look again."

We are living in our life,

there is many thing happening.

We do, because we are human being,
we are not angel,

we are doing many mistake.

But don't be hopeless. This is what
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying

in Holy Qur’ān addressing for,

not only for Muslim, for
whole human being.

If they listening, they will be

not sad, no sadness for them.

And then, we do many mistake.

There is many kind of mistake.

Maybe thousands, hundreds,

ten thousand mistake. There
many we are doing.

But, even mistake also, there is kind,

some kind of mistake it is
terrible mistake.

What is this? When you are,

doing sin, sins.

This is mistake for human being to do.

What Allāh ﷻ not want and what
Allāh ﷻ He ﷻ don't want,

this is calling sin.

There is sin also many kind of sin,
some of them

big and some of them small they said.

Big sins, many of them,

for people nowadays, they are
doing most of them.

And this mistake,

as much as you are in life,

you can change them.

If you are repent and ask for
forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ,

Allāh ﷻ, He ﷻ forgive you and even He ﷻ

change this wrong, sins to reward.

Because, you are sincerely asking
for forgiveness and not

doing any more this, Allāh ﷻ
reward you what you done.

"Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyi’ātihim
ḥasanāt" (25:70).

This is in Qur’ān also. He ﷻ changing
the sins to reward.

This is big tidings for
human being because,

if you do something in world

and you ask forgiveness from government,
they never forgive you.

But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He ﷻ forgive.

As much you are in life, you
have this chance

to finish your mistake and to be clean

and to continue your life
with safe and peace.

This is for Ākhirah. This is
very important part

for mistake, what we doing,

to be... because until you are in life,
you can change this

but when you die, you cannot change this.

You will ask and you will be punished.
Allāh ﷻ what He ﷻ is doing

He ﷻ is, He ﷻ knowing.

Other also, in life we have also many,
we do many mistake

and many kind of mistake.

Some people, they're studying maybe

ten, twenty year, and after they find this

it was no benefit for this.
This big mistake.

Some of them marry not good people,
also this mistake.

They also, they suffering.

Some people doing business.

They're also with wrong people,

or with themself, they make wrong
calculation or something,

also, they are have problem.

Other, ya‘nī, this mistake, not one kind –
million kind there is mistake.

But all of them, as much you are in life,
don't be hopeless.

This is what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla saying.

When you are in life, Allāh ﷻ,

will [be] fine, if you are trust in
Allāh ﷻ, you will,

He ﷻ will help you and you will be,
in shā’a Llāh, succeed again.

This is what Allāh ‘Azza
wa-Jalla saying.

So, human being must be patient.
They are not patient.

When something happen, they want
it to be very quickly.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He ﷻ is know.

He ﷻ is not looking for what you want.

What He ﷻ want, you must look
for Him ﷻ for this.

For this, you must be depend on Allāh ﷻ,

This is the best thing for believer,

and to ask for forgiveness for
everything you done.

Sometimes, of course, there is some very
difficult thing happening,

you cannot go out from this.
Also Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He ﷻ,

He ﷻ can change everything, in shā’a Llāh.

There is one, sometimes,
there is in some business,

some people doing business they put money
and they put everything.

They have every time losing,

and they want to go out but
they stuck in this.

Even with everything they want to go
out but they cannot.

And this is very difficult but Allāh ﷻ,
also for everything

no problem, when you in life, not finish.
This finish, in shā’a Llāh, also.

Once, one Turkish saying,

Once, one thief coming to house,

and father tell his son, "Go and
look what something there."

And he, his son he went there and show,
see the thief and say and thief...

He said his father, "O my father,
I find thief here."

He said, "Bring him here!"

He said, "No, he not coming.
I cannot bring him here."

He said, "So leave him to go."

He said, "He is not going also."

Sometimes, problem like this happening.

So, Allāh ﷻ not make us
to be in like a trap,

in trap and he will... But from Allāh ﷻ,
in shā’a Llāh,

everything, He ﷻ said,
"Don't be hopeless."

In shā’a Llāh, Allāh ﷻ help us,
in shā’a Llāh

Wa-min Allāhi t-tawfīq, al-Fātiḥah.
