Brother Nasser is asking a very important question
and it tends to come up quite a
lot as well, okay?
Sometimes an individual he finds himself in a
predicament where
he
is involved in haram.
He's saying does he have to leave that
job or can he wait till he finds
another job?
You know brothers and sisters
so many brothers I can maybe sit here
till
till tomorrow and tell you of how many
brothers
and sisters
previously asked me advice with regards to this
very point.
And
every single person and pay attention to what
I'm saying
every single person who I was asked about
I always told them this hadith.
And these people they came back to me
later on.
There's a hadith that was narrated by Muhammad
Rahimahullah Ta'ala where the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
he said
You don't ever leave something for the sake
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And you know
brothers and sisters, taqwa
is a very deep topic.
Sometimes it gets just translated as it being
what? Fear
or being God conscious? It's a bit more
than that. Ibn Raja ibnhamalirahu
ta'ala when he explained what taqwa means,
he said, is that you place between you
and that which you are fearful of
a barrier,
a shield
that protects you from that which you are
fearful of.
And what is a shield?
To do that which you have been commanded
to do and to stay away from the
things that you have been told to stay
away from.
This is a taqwa.
And, Wallahi brothers and sisters, you will find
yourself in these situations and it will get
very very difficult.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he tests
you. When you leave something for the sake
of Allah azza wa jal, don't think you
know the
money is gonna come raining down. No Allah
Azza wa Jal tells us
Does one think that he's going to say
amen I believe and then it's not going
to be trial? He's just gonna sit back
on his, you know, his couch
and the whole,
everything is going to be plain sailing for
this person in his world.
La you will go through trials.
My brothers and sisters, if you don't take
anything away from
this session,
except the hadith that I told you.
You don't leave something for the shirk of
Allah
except He will always give you that which
is far greater.
The promise of Allah is the wajal, and
he never fails in his promise.
It's just the shaitan that which is scaring
The shaitan scares you with poverty
and commands you to do that which is
haram.
You You know an interesting
statement came to my mind
of Hassan al Qasir
You know what he said brothers and sisters?
I read in 90 places
that Allah
he decreed a person's provision.
And I read in one place
that the shaitaan
he scares the people and it's the ayat
that I just mentioned.
What does Allah azza wa jalah tell us
in Surat Tala?
Whoever
will give him an opening
and he will provide for him from where
he doesn't expect it.
But subhanAllah, you find that maybe sinning is
a means of losing provision. It came another
hadith.
A person is deprived
of provision
because of the mistake that he does or
the sin that he falls into.
Let's now come into the real life examples.
Wallahi brothers, I can sit here till tomorrow.
Tell you story after story of brothers who
were involved in haram. Whether he was taking
boxes that had hamar in there whether he
was dealing with riba
I had a friend
my neighbor my neighbor Lestah
who used to deal with
reba based accounting.
We know the famous hadith of Jabbir radiAllahu
ta'ala anhu when the messenger salallahu alayhi wasalam
said,
The one that takes it, the one that
gives it, the one who's a witness to
it.
All of them have been cursed. The messenger
said they're all equal.
He knew what he was doing was haram.
He knew that.
I told him this hadith and I said
to him, you have to be very patient.
The hadith I told you about earlier,
of course he went through trouble. I remember
his in laws were saying to him, why
is this guy's abum? He's staying at home.
What's he doing?
All day he's at home.
They were literally like, you know, belittling him.
And I would tell him, be patient.
You know normally when a person he applies
for a job in Saudi Arabia,
most guys they get job in places like
Riyadh,
Jeddah,
Qasim,
Daman.
Oh, allah. Hey brothers and sisters, I believe
he ended up getting this job
because of him leaving this for the sake
of Allah and the promise of Allah
Allah
gave him
and his wife
21
£1,000 a year. No tax. Here we work
for the government. Right?
Every month we have to pay tax. All
the money goes back to the government.
No tax.
He was paying no tax. He's living in
Makkah.
Every day they're going to the haram.
And he was chilling. It wasn't even like
the normal,
you know,
teaching English jobs that you have in other
cities.
Another brother I remember, subhanAllah, he was working
in carphone warehouse.
He was commuting
all the time from Leicester to Loughborough.
It takes like half an hour. At the
end of the week you find that the
petrol money it adds up.
And I remember he had his wage was
something like what?
12,000 or 13,000, something like that. His name
is brother Najib. He lives right next to
me as well. Well. And until this very
day, SubhanAllah, I see him, I remember this.
Same thing. All of a sudden now they
introduce insurance.
They introduce
insurance. He said to them, this is not
part of my religion and he opposes it.
I can't do this.'
To a cut, a very long story short,
he ended up what?
Leaving the
job
and
I remember bumping into him he looked you
know quiet
I told him the hadith he left the
job.
Allah would see him a duhr time making
these one of these sincere duas.
You could see the brother was struggling. And
of course, like I said earlier, you're gonna
go through trials and tribulations, right?
You think you're not gonna be
trialed? Remember Allah
replaced his job with British Gas. Remember earlier
I said, he used to commute 30 minutes
every single day.
Sometimes there's traffic, you know, the petrol adds
up.
10 minutes from his home.
10 minutes from his home. And I think
he was earning something like
later on 16,000,
17,000,
amongst them lines.
And another brother is all, subhanAllah, might get
carried away, you know, mentioning all these stories.
His name is Jughed.
He comes to my lesson sometimes
in a a lista. I think I'm gonna
run and they know him.
Same thing. He was working in the same
job, he left. Allah gave him a job
right next to his house.
So the point of the matter is, guys,
you know your life is very, very short.
You're going to go through trials and tribulation,
wallahi, it is not worth it. To you
for you to die,
Any piece of flesh
that has been produced through haram will not
enter into jannah.
All of these ayaat, hadith, brothers and sisters,
is us is for us to apply. Just
