The Kuffar
have better manners than the Muslims.
The Kuffar,
the disbelievers, the non Muslims,
they have better manners
than the Muslims.
My brothers and my sisters, think about this
for a moment.
Is this a statement that is correct?
It might be so that they are better
than the Muslims in certain aspects,
in the way they
deal with their colleagues,
they deal with the people in general.
But is correct to say such statement that
we tend to hear all the time?
I've heard it many many times myself.
The poet once said,
The first thing that he commands you with
in his poetry of
attaining lofty mannerisms
and etiquettes.
The first thing that you need to do
is you need to learn how to have
etiquettes with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And how do you do this?
By leaving off sinning
and to also do that which is mandatory
upon you.
So this individual my brothers and my sisters
who claims
that the
have better etiquettes
than the Muslims.
He who says that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has a son.
It is the worst thing that a person
can ever say.
And it is the worst type of manners
that you can show to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Allah tells us in the Quran
Allah tells us
that the Samawats,
the heavens are about to rupture.
They are about to tear down into pieces.
And also their earth
is about to break
into small pieces.
And the
mountains have
been shaken.
Because of what my brothers and my sisters?
Because they claim that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has a son.
And it is not befitting for Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala
to have a son, as Allah tells us
in Surat Al Maria.
My brothers and my sisters,
those who insult Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
from the kuffar,
Regardless
of them having good etiquettes with their work
colleagues and the people around them,
to make a statement as such
is totally
insane.
So when an individual, my brothers and my
sisters, hear statements as such,
What does the one who now advises the
people, encourages the people,
the one who calls to Allah
Concentrate Moron,
is calling the people to
having good manners and good etiquettes with the
people.
And they might use as evidence a statement
of the messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam when he
said,
I was only sent
in order to establish and carry out
wonderful and excellent mannerisms and etiquettes.
So he looks at his hadith. Okay.
My occupation is to establish this.
Fahazbuq.
And I stop there.
And it might even cause an individual now
to
look at those who are calling to monotheism,
at Tawhid,
and think that what you guys are doing
is completely
wrong because the mess of Allah here in
this hadith is saying I was only sent
to establish lofty characteristics and mannerism.
But then the other individual is calling to
Tawhid.
He looks at him and he says,
Every single Messenger
We sent him forth to his people
That they
worship Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala alone and they
don't associate partners with him.
So doesn't this look like now that it
is
contradicting with one another?
And there is no contradiction.
Because my brothers and my sisters, when the
messian
is saying, I was only sent in order
to establish
good etiquettes and lofty mannerisms.
This is your etiquettes with Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala
and
the etiquis with the creation.
So it's split into 2 categories.
Your relationship with Allah Azzawajal
and this is what a taqwa is in
essence
and also your relationship with the creation.
So if you don't do what Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
is telling you to do my brothers and
my you're being badly mannered towards Allah Azzawajal.
Imagine my brothers and my sisters,
your mother is standing in front of the
door.
She's calling out to you, O Muhammad or
O Abdullah.
And she's saying, I really need you to
do this.
But you say, mom, I'm busy
because my friends are waiting for me.
Would we all agree that this
is lack of respect?
You're behaving in a very badly mannered way
towards your mother. We will all agree with
this, right?
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is saying Oh you
who believe,
In many verses in the Quran,
calling onto you to do this and to
do that
But then what do we do my brothers
and my sisters?
We put everything else
before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and when we
find time and that's when we are going
to carry out things that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala is asking us to do.
Isn't as bad manners now my brothers and
my sisters?
And it's sad right and it's not fair,
so there is no contradiction between the 2.
The most important form
of having good etiquette is
with
your
Lord.
To leave of sinning
and to do what Allah Azzawajal told you
to do.
And then you have the
creation
that you treat in the best possible
way.
He doesn't realize that this is because of
his own wrongdoings.
He begins to now look for happiness
in everything
other than Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
