Allah's teaching us a pattern of behavior, you

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

gotta do something.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

Love doesn't help those who sit around and

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

do nothing, the Quran emphasizes over and over.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:08

Do something.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

If you're sitting in a prison cell, you

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

look around, what can I do? Prophet Yusuf

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

alaihis salam, what did he do the 2nd

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

he arrived in prison? 2nd he arrived, what

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

did he say? He had 2 roommates or

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

prison needs. He said, hey, come here. Come

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

here. Are multiple gods better or is one

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

god better? First thing he said to me.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

He's like, alright. This is what I can

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

do. And he stuck he he stayed in

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

this in prison. Like, it wasn't like God

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

rewarded him. Tomorrow, he was exonerated. He stayed

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

for years. It wasn't about that. It wasn't

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

about, if I do this, God will get

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

me out tomorrow. It was about, okay. Looked

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

around, like, what what can we do? I

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

got 2 guys here. Come here. Let's talk.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

Let me help somebody. He couldn't sit and

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

not be of of aid. Then later, one

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

of those 2 guys got freed first, and

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

he went and he was the reason, not

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

only Prophet Youssef got exonerated,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

but he became one of the ministers of

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

Egypt many, many years later. So the seeds

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

were planted. But a good person plants the

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

seeds of khair, of goodness because he believes

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

in good, because he's in service of Allah.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

You never know which seed pans out.
