BismillahirRahmanir
Rahim Brothers and sisters in Islam, Al Halal
will always be enough and sufficient for a
person.
Well Haram, no matter how much you do
of it will never ever be
sufficient and enough for a person,
And there is a story in the Quran
that beautifully
expresses this matter. Allah Azzawajal He says,
Allah told us about the story of Dawood,
Palut and Jalut.
Palut was the Muslim King, he was the
Muslim ruler, and he was going to enter
the Holy Land, Jerusalem,
with the army that he had. Among the
army was Dawud
and they were going to fight Jalut and
the army of Jalut.
So Allah
says that when the army began to move
towards Jerusalem,
he gathered his army and he said to
them
Allah is going to test us with a
river, There's going to be a river that
is going to come, everyone is thirsty, everyone
wants to drink from this beautiful river that
looks so fresh and it looks nice and
beautiful.
So Allah
said
that Talut said to them
The test here is that anyone who drinks
from it is not from my army anymore,
Then it is haram to drink from this
water.
Allah
has made it forbidden.
And whoever does not drink from it except
a handful,
then he will be from my army and
he has passed the test.
So there is a river. It is not
allowed to drink from it. Allah
wants to control
their desire for this water. So he made
it forbidden. No one's allowed to drink from
it. The only exception is a handful.
Anyone who drinks a handful from the river,
then he would have succeeded, and that would
be halal, and he's able to join
that army and continue with Tawlut until they
reach the blessed land. Now, the idea is
this, Allah said
Many of them drank
as much as they can except a few.
A few only drank a handful. Now the
beautiful interesting thing here is that, Abin Abba
said, those who drank more than one handful,
their thirst was not quenched.
And those who drank one handful,
sufficient at what is halal,
Allah satisfied them and quenched
their thirst. Allahu Akbar SubhanAllah and so brothers
and sisters in Islam this is the principle
in life when you take what Allah has
made halal for you in this worldly life
there will be Barakah in this and it
will be sufficient and enough for you.
And when you take what's Haram from this
worldly life, you will never get enough of
it and you will never be satisfied.
Look at the people for example that get
married in a halal way. 1 wife, 2,
3, 4, and that would be enough for
him, and he doesn't desire more.
Look at on the other hand, when a
person commits
a 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and he's
never enough.
Look at the person who suffices with halal
money.
When you take halal money there is enough
barakah in this and by the permission of
Allah it's enough for you and those that
acquire their wealth through Haram means
Wallahi 1,000,000,201,201,010,000,000
is never enough for them they will continue
to run after that which is Haram
and they are never satisfied.
Look at the person who drinks, for example,
if you are to eat and drink what
is halal,
you are
sufficed and that would be enough for you
there's Baraka in that, but the person who
goes towards Al Haram
look at those that sit in the bars
and drink alcohol, a forbidden beverage,
they drink 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 cups
a night,
and they are not satisfied.
So brothers and sisters in Islam, Al Haram
is enough for a person, well haram no
matter how much you take from it will
never satisfy you. And that's why Nabi
will make a hadith
a dua. He makes a dua, and he
says,
He would say
Oh Allah, make
what is lawful, sufficient and enough for me
instead of the Haram
And enable me through your grace and through
your mercy
that I depend on no one except you.
