Allah's teaching us a pattern of behavior, you
gotta do something.
Love doesn't help those who sit around and
do nothing, the Quran emphasizes over and over.
Do something.
If you're sitting in a prison cell, you
look around, what can I do? Prophet Yusuf
alaihis salam, what did he do the 2nd
he arrived in prison? 2nd he arrived, what
did he say? He had 2 roommates or
prison needs. He said, hey, come here. Come
here. Are multiple gods better or is one
god better? First thing he said to me.
He's like, alright. This is what I can
do. And he stuck he he stayed in
this in prison. Like, it wasn't like God
rewarded him. Tomorrow, he was exonerated. He stayed
for years. It wasn't about that. It wasn't
about, if I do this, God will get
me out tomorrow. It was about, okay. Looked
around, like, what what can we do? I
got 2 guys here. Come here. Let's talk.
Let me help somebody. He couldn't sit and
not be of of aid. Then later, one
of those 2 guys got freed first, and
he went and he was the reason, not
only Prophet Youssef got exonerated,
but he became one of the ministers of
Egypt many, many years later. So the seeds
were planted. But a good person plants the
seeds of khair, of goodness because he believes
in good, because he's in service of Allah.
You never know which seed pans out.
