Keeping Connected with the Qur'an

 It's part of our nightly, keeping connected with the Qur'an program.  And for some, subhanAllah, this program, which allows us to look at the Qur'an as a shifa,  and it is a shifa, a source of healing in so many different ways,  really is so needed right now when there's so much going on.  And particularly when there's so much going on,  it's harder for us to sense the presence of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,  the knowledge of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,  the all-encompassing wisdom of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.  And that's part of the juhad, part of the struggle that we have,  is to actually see through those circumstances,  and connect with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala at a deeper level.  Knowing that Allah is always in control, yet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is ever so subtle,  as these things play out in our lives.  And inshaAllah ta'ala that's going to be what we're going to talk about tonight,  is this concept of Allah's lutf,  His being subtle in the midst of all of these circumstances,  yet never losing control, never losing power,  and us finding great strength in connecting with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,  who is always in control and always watching over us,  even if at times we may be distracted by our circumstances,  and distracted by the conditions that are all around us.  So we're blessed alhamdulillah to have with us,  sister Sara Sultan alhamdulillah, who of course is a regular,  she's a fellow at Yaqeen and also a co-author of the trauma series at Yaqeen,  alhamdulillah, along with sister Najwa, who we had last week,  and has really done a lot alhamdulillah to help us contextualize faith,  through the lens of mental health and our emotional health,  and I'm very excited to speak about this subject in particular inshaAllah ta'ala,  of Allah being al-lutif and the implications of that inshaAllah ta'ala.  So we want to welcome sister Sara inshaAllah, and the floor is all yours.  Jazakumullahu khayran.  Bismillah, wa salatu was salamu ala rasulillah, wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa man wala.  Amma ba'd, salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, everybody.  Jazakumullahu khayran for joining in.  Alhamdulillah, this is one of my all-time favorite names of Allah subhanu wa ta'ala,  and I'm going to go a little bit into why that is.  But you know, when we're talking about this name,  I want to just set up a context of it,  through the lens of mental health and spiritual health,  and how they are so deeply intertwined, right?  Where when we think about the impact,  you know, these days we're seeing so much of what's going on,  and a lot of it is traumatic for a lot of people,  particularly our brothers and sisters in the Black community,  but even for those outside of the Black community,  and seeing everything that is happening,  that has happened for a lot of people, our eyes are just now opening,  and that can be, you know, a hugely traumatic experience,  and being able to see that,  and see what everybody has experienced in their history, subhanAllah.  And so when we're looking at it from that lens,  and when we're looking at things from the lens of trauma,  one thing we have to realize is trauma is not just an experience  that impacts our mental and emotional health,  but it's something that can really impact our spiritual health as well.  And so when we have experience,  and the focus in what I wanted to cover today,  is the experience of betrayal,  the experience of disappointment,  the experience of feeling pain at the hands of somebody else.  That in and of itself is what's called  in the disruption of an attachment bond, right?  So when we are really close to somebody,  when we have that sense of trust in somebody,  and we have been betrayed by them,  that can be a huge disruption in our lives,  but can also impact us from a spiritual standpoint,  and can impact our trust in everybody, including Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.  And so when we go through difficult situations,  sometimes we think to ourselves,  you know, I've done everything right.  I don't deserve this. My life is still falling apart.  I feel betrayed, and that sense of betrayal can be overgeneralized  to even encompass Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, right?  Which is a very, very difficult experience for us as Muslimin  when we're trying to build that bond with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.  And what this then creates is this tendency,  this overgeneralization, where one single event  or several different events can then paint a picture of our lives  where we then expect the negative thing  and the painful thing to happen over and over and over again.  And what we do when that happens is we start to look  for evidence that this is being proven true.  And when we look for evidence of tragedy,  when we look for evidence of disappointment, negativity, pain,  hurt, betrayal, disappointment, we will find it, right?  Because life is in and of itself a test,  and life is in and of itself imperfect.  And then when we do that, the next step that some…
