Haifaa Younis – Islam is a Deen of prevention

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.
