And that is that the prophet said in a Hadith and people have questions. Some people may question it, but the meaning is incredibly profound.
That that a certain slave in it it is mentioned that who may appear or a person who may appear disheveled, appear like a loser. Like you might look at somebody and think, "Ugh, what a loser." The Hadith said there are sev- there are certain people like that.
Apparently dusty and losers in the eyes of the world. By losers, what what I mean is they they don't have anything to show by what the world measures success. But it said that low akusamu alallahi if they took an oath by Allah
la abarra. Wow. Allah will see to it that oath has not gone in vain. You know, this honestly, I learned this Hadith probably about 20 years ago. It was in our Sahih Muslim class.

But this Hadith that aksama Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Wa ma ta sha'un illa an ya sha'a Allah Allah Allah Allah
People this this is why you know in in Urdu there is a saying as well that him at the murder mother they hold up. That it's about and that's about willpower even though it's using murder about men, but it means that's just it means anyone it means women as well. That if there is that will then God shows the way.
