BismillahirRahmanir

00:00:01 --> 00:00:04

Rahim Brothers and sisters in Islam, Al Halal

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

will always be enough and sufficient for a

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

person.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

Well Haram, no matter how much you do

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

of it will never ever be

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

sufficient and enough for a person,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

And there is a story in the Quran

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

that beautifully

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

expresses this matter. Allah Azzawajal He says,

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

Allah told us about the story of Dawood,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

Palut and Jalut.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

Palut was the Muslim King, he was the

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

Muslim ruler, and he was going to enter

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

the Holy Land, Jerusalem,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

with the army that he had. Among the

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

army was Dawud

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

and they were going to fight Jalut and

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

the army of Jalut.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

So Allah

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

says that when the army began to move

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

towards Jerusalem,

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

he gathered his army and he said to

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

them

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

Allah is going to test us with a

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

river, There's going to be a river that

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

is going to come, everyone is thirsty, everyone

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

wants to drink from this beautiful river that

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

looks so fresh and it looks nice and

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

beautiful.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

So Allah

00:01:17 --> 00:01:17

said

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

that Talut said to them

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

The test here is that anyone who drinks

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

from it is not from my army anymore,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

Then it is haram to drink from this

00:01:33 --> 00:01:33

water.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:34

Allah

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

has made it forbidden.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

And whoever does not drink from it except

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

a handful,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

then he will be from my army and

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

he has passed the test.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

So there is a river. It is not

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

allowed to drink from it. Allah

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

wants to control

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

their desire for this water. So he made

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

it forbidden. No one's allowed to drink from

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

it. The only exception is a handful.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

Anyone who drinks a handful from the river,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

then he would have succeeded, and that would

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

be halal, and he's able to join

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

that army and continue with Tawlut until they

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

reach the blessed land. Now, the idea is

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

this, Allah said

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

Many of them drank

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

as much as they can except a few.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

A few only drank a handful. Now the

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

beautiful interesting thing here is that, Abin Abba

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

said, those who drank more than one handful,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

their thirst was not quenched.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

And those who drank one handful,

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

sufficient at what is halal,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

Allah satisfied them and quenched

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

their thirst. Allahu Akbar SubhanAllah and so brothers

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

and sisters in Islam this is the principle

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

in life when you take what Allah has

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

made halal for you in this worldly life

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

there will be Barakah in this and it

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

will be sufficient and enough for you.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

And when you take what's Haram from this

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

worldly life, you will never get enough of

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

it and you will never be satisfied.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

Look at the people for example that get

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

married in a halal way. 1 wife, 2,

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

3, 4, and that would be enough for

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

him, and he doesn't desire more.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

Look at on the other hand, when a

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

person commits

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

a 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and he's

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

never enough.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

Look at the person who suffices with halal

00:03:36 --> 00:03:36

money.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

When you take halal money there is enough

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

barakah in this and by the permission of

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

Allah it's enough for you and those that

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

acquire their wealth through Haram means

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

Wallahi 1,000,000,201,201,010,000,000

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

is never enough for them they will continue

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

to run after that which is Haram

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

and they are never satisfied.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

Look at the person who drinks, for example,

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

if you are to eat and drink what

00:03:59 --> 00:03:59

is halal,

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

you are

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

sufficed and that would be enough for you

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

there's Baraka in that, but the person who

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

goes towards Al Haram

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

look at those that sit in the bars

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

and drink alcohol, a forbidden beverage,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

they drink 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 cups

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

a night,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

and they are not satisfied.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

So brothers and sisters in Islam, Al Haram

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

is enough for a person, well haram no

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

matter how much you take from it will

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

never satisfy you. And that's why Nabi

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

will make a hadith

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

a dua. He makes a dua, and he

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

says,

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

He would say

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

Oh Allah, make

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

what is lawful, sufficient and enough for me

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

instead of the Haram

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

And enable me through your grace and through

00:04:55 --> 00:04:55

your mercy

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

that I depend on no one except you.
