Now the beauty of Islam,
Islam is, I call it, a deen of
prevention.
It's not a deen of treatment.
Treatment comes later and treatment comes sometimes when
people say: wow, this is
tough.
Well, if you know what was before it,
then you will say the tough. For example,
and I always bring it mother and child,
right? The mother said to the child don't
get close
to the stove,
okay? And she put all the boundaries
including a gate, including put the stop, like
to turn off the stop on the stop
is very difficult, you know, all these output,
right? And she kept telling him, if you
put, your hand will get burned.
Yeah. If he did not follow all this
and the hand get burned at the end.
Is that cruel?
She did her job.
So here you go. So for example,
Islam said the punishment of stealing is cutting
the hand. Wow.
Right? This day and age. But if you
look back at all the social
parameters and the social
advices
or orders Allah puts for a Muslim community,
it will be very difficult for someone to
steal. What happened to the zakah? Yeah. What
happened to the charity? Like at the time,
Sayyidina Umar Abdi Aziz, there was nobody to
give zakah. Yeah. So of course nobody will
steal.
