This was recorded at a Friday sermon by Bayyinah Institute in 2016.

This khutbah by Sheikh Abdullah Oduro, tells an inspiring story of Um Salama (RA), how she persevered during times of tribulations and hardships. She was blessed with a firm heart and that Allah answered her prayer. Sheikh reminds us to contemplate and ask ourselves — Which type of Muslims are we? Do we give up easily if a trial befalls us? This is one of the reasons why we must connect with Allah at least 5 times a day in our daily prayers.

Everything that we experience and how we deal with our experience links back to our submission to Allah and our purpose in life as a servant of Allah, and also our understanding of what our ultimate goal is in life.
