"When He opens up your understanding of deprivation, the deprivation becomes the same as the gift." [HIKAM 84]

"Sometimes He gives while depriving you, and sometimes He deprives you in giving." [HIKAM 83] The discussion of the above aphorism reveals how to keep ones faith in Allah Most High firm and unshaken in times when things don't quite go ones way, perfectly interwining with the Qur'anic verse "And perhaps it may be that you dislike something, when it is good for you, Allah knows and you do not" (Surah Baqarah)

Shaykh Abdur-Rahman speaks on the blessings of the pilgrimage and how one can reach high spiritual status and boost one's iman. He mentions that Hajj is like a spiritual washing machine. In similarity to the function of a washing machine where clothes are spun from one end to the other and wrung out, a person is put though many testing moments, for example the heat, moving from one place to another, restrictions of ihram etc. to help us reform ourselves spiritually, to help us focus only on Allah and not worry about one’s apparent physical condition.

Sulayman (AS) was born and raised in Jerusalem, Palestine. He was the son of Prophet Dawud (AS) and, just like his father, Sulayman (AS) was greatly loved by Allah. Allah gifted Sulayman (AS) with miracles that no other Prophet had: Sulayman (AS) could understand and communicate with all kinds of animals, and he could command the wind. The jinn are unseen beings created by Allah, and Sulayman (AS) was given the power to command them too. One time, Sulayman (AS) was marching through a valley with his magnificent army of Jinn, men and birds. The army came to a valley which happened to be the home of ants. Seeing this great army, one ant said to the others, "Hide in your homes, before Sulayman (AS) and his army crush you under their feet!” Sulayman (AS) understood what the ant had said. He smiled to himself and thanked Allah for all the special gifts he had been given. Sulayman (AS) achieved amazing feats during his lifetime. The Qur'an tells many stories of Sulayman (AS) and his amazing achievements.
