There are 2 things

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

the world over which are respected. Regardless of

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

what faith the person comes from

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

and regardless of

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

what

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

it's to do with, there are 2 things

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

which people respect

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

just by the nature of who we are

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

as human beings. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has

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

kept

00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

the

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

love of these things in the hearts of

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

people

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

in general.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

Now think about it. There's a person who's

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

not very wealthy.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

Wealth is something that many people would respect,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

but that's not what I'm speaking about. There

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

is something that goes beyond money and wealth.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

It goes beyond position.

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

It goes beyond anything that

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

you would have to

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

maybe be put in a position for.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

What I'm speaking about is 2 things, 1

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

is knowledge and the other one is akhlaq

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

and character. Even if there's a an absolute

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

pauper, but he has good character he'll be

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

respected for that.

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

You would respect that person.
