Abu Taymiyyah – Part 10 The Fornicator Is Not Worse than Firaun

Whoever is not well mannered

in his relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will patch him up,

will deal with him under the earth.

So my brothers and my sisters,

we spoke about in the previous episode

how one needs to have that bravery to

speak out.

Those who we defend

unjustly,

unfairly,

they will run away from us.

As Allah mentioned,

The day when one will run away from

his brother

and also his father and his mother.

Every man for himself,

So don't sell your hereafter,

for a moment of sweetness for them saying,

oh, thank you for defending me and being

there.

That brings me on now to another point.

How

do we address

certain situations

when people are being oppressive?

It's important, my brothers and masters, that we

adorn ourselves with this wonderful

excellent characteristic, this trait of being soft and

gentle.

When you see someone doing wrong,

and of course,

sometimes the Prophet

did use harshness with certain people,

but the majority of

how he dealt with situations, well with softness

and gentle gentleness.

It is him who said,

Allah is Rafiq

And he loves gentleness

gifts an individual because of his softness

that which he doesn't give when one is

rough and harsh.

We're living in a time, my brothers and

my sisters, where we have to expect

the people around us

to fall into so many serious major sins.

Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told us this

From the signs of the hour is that

becomes reduced.

And ignorance becomes so widespread and prevalent.

And zina becomes apparent,

and people will be killing one another.

It's something that again becomes so widespread.

But how are you going to deal with

a relative,

who has maybe fallen into a zina?

Let's look at the Quran for guidance.

Remember my brothers and my sisters, you are

not going to find anyone who is worse

than Firaun.

The man who claimed

I am your Lord the Most High.

Pharaoh,

he claimed this.

And

on top of this my brothers and my

sisters,

when Allah

sent Musa and his brother Harun

to Firaun,

what was the advice, the instructions that Allah

gave to

Musa

and his brother.

When you go to him, speak to him

in a gentle way

so that he may take heed.

And he might

start fearing Allah

So my brothers and my sisters, softness,

being gentle

is so much needed, especially in this day

and age.

When the Fawahj, the filth and the evil

has become

so widespread,

even though you have to be brave and

you have to have firm resolve

when you see evil taking place around you.

And it's not right for a person to

use this hadith of

Part of one being a good Muslim is

to leave off that which doesn't concern him.

That doesn't apply here,

that really doesn't apply here. The moment somebody

was back bitten,

was slandered in front of you, it became

part of your business.

Because the messenger, what did he say?

We can't change it with his tongue,

and so on and so forth.

But

softness,

being gentle,

is something that is required, and you see

that this really brings a person's heart close

and Allah knows best.

For Daylib Niyab,

the great Tabia, he said,

and by Allah,

It is not lawful for you to oppress

a pig

It is not lawful for you to oppress

and bring harm to a pig. Be'rii haqin

without right.

If this is a pig, my brothers and

sisters, an animal, How about a human being?

And, yes, my brother is a must, even

if the guy is a kafir.
