This powerful reminder explores how rejection, loss, delay, and closed doors can often be a form of protection from Allah. The thing we wanted so badly may have been withheld for the sake of our iman, our taqwa, our future, our character, or our hereafter.
Shaykh Mikaeel reminds us that while we only see one small pixel, Allah sees the full picture. What was written for us will never miss us, and what was not written for us was never truly ours to begin with.
This khutbah is a reminder to have tawakkul, complete trust and reliance upon Allah, especially when life does not unfold the way we planned. Through sabr, surrender, and trust in Allah’s divine wisdom, we begin to understand that what Allah prevents may be just as much a mercy as what He gives.
The khutbah also reflects on the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ:
“Know that if the whole nation were to gather together to benefit you with something, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already written for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with something, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already written against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.”
This is a reminder of complete reliance on Allah’s Qadr, His divine decree. Nothing can touch us unless Allah has already allowed it. No person, no rejection, no enemy, and no whisper of Shaytan has independent power over our lives.
True victory is only through Allah. He did not send us into this world expecting perfection from us. He knows our weakness, our mistakes, our fears, and our pain.
Sometimes the rejection was not a punishment. Sometimes the rejection was protection.
