My brothers and sisters, I remind myself and
you of 2 very important things.
1 is
that the sweetness
of the sin
is temporary.
The effect of that sin
is permanent.
The sweetness of the sin is temporary.
The effect of that sin
is permanent.
The pain of the test,
the difficulty of the test is temporary.
The benefit
of that test
is permanent,
And I therefore remind myself and you not
to get fooled by Shaitan
to
and do things
which have a long term,
harm for us.
For example,
if you take
the thing which I keep on harping about
all the time,
which is halal earning
and
halal eating.
The
benefit,
the perceived benefit, there is no benefit, but
what Satan
convinces us
convinces those who indulge
in haram earning
that there is benefit in this haram earning.
Shaitan convinces us that there is benefit
in selling alcohol. There is benefit in selling
lottery tickets.
There is benefit in selling tobacco.
There is benefit in selling * literature.
Chetan convinces us. So we sell these things
in our shops.
Chetan convinces us that it is
beneficial to deal
with interest,
and that is why we deal with interest
even though Allah
promised his punishment.
Allah
promised his punishment
for the one who deals with interest. Allah
declared
war
on the one who deals with interest. Now
what more
do we really need?
What more do we need? When we are
looking at something which is potentially harmful,
what can be more harmful than a declaration
of war from Allah
Yet, Shaitan convinces us
that dealing in interest is permissible
and he puts us in a position
of potentially committing cover
because Shaitan shows us that we
that we
can escape
the punishment of Allah
by doing something,
and he puts a spin on it and
he says,
you know, this is, okay in this country,
that country.
Please understand that the one who makes what
Allah has made
halal into haram or the one who makes
what Allah has made haram into halal is
committing because he is changing the law of
Allah.
Does all this.
So remember
that all these games are temporary.
The effect of them is permanent because Rasool
Allah said those who deal in interest, and
he named 4 people. He said Allah has
cursed,
and which means Allah's curse and the Nabi's
curse is on 4 kinds of people.
The one who lends on interest, the one
who the one who borrows on interest, the
one who writes
down that
agreement,
and the one who bears and the 2
who bear witness.
So there are 5 people,
the borrower, the lender,
the recorder,
and the 2 witnesses.
Nabi said
all of them are cursed by Allah
and his
messenger
he said they are all equal.
Now think about that. The one who is
lending
is doing it
with the expectation of benefit. The one who
is borrowing,
is borrowing with the expectation of benefit. The
one who's recording the deed is neither lending
nor borrowing. He's only recording it, and he
probably gets a salary for that. And the
witnesses, they are neither borrowing nor lending.
They are not getting a salary. They are
just bearing witness to this. Rasulullah
said, all are cursed by Allah
and
his
and they are all equal in that curse,
equal in that punishment.
But shaitan will convince you that this is
okay. Now
up to you. You want to believe Allah
and his Rasool alayhis salaam or you want
to believe Shaitan?
We are free to believe whoever we want,
but
the
result
of that belief is not the same.
If we believe in something which is wrong,
the result will always be harmful. Let us
be very clear in our minds.
So therefore, I remind myself and you that
let us not allow
this dunya
to fool us into doing something
which is,
which is
harmful for us
in this.
Now the point I want to make here
is
every single thing that we have in this
world,
we are going to leave behind.
The thing that will go with us is
our.
So if you have a shop in which
you are selling haram things, believe me, that
shop is giving you money.
You are making good money.
By which I mean lot of money, not
good in the sense of good as in
pure. It's haram. It is impure, but it
is a lot of money. You're making a
lot of money, but that wealth will remain
here when you die.
What will go with you is your decision
to earn in that way.
So you are standing all day in your
shop and you are selling haram.
That action of yours will go with you.
But your,
the the the the the money that you
made is going to remain here.
Let's just think about this for yourself and
say what sense does it make
to
sell what is going with us
for that which is temporary and which will
remain here?
What says does it mean?
We are giving up something
which
is potentially beneficial for us, which we which
we could have taken with us, which is
good deeds.
And instead of that, we are taking haram
material things,
which in any case, we would have to
leave behind.
So I want you to do this as
an exercise.
Sit with
yourself and your family and sit with whoever
is with you.
And
for each of them,
look at them in the face and say,
this one I will leave behind.
For each of these things,
sit down and say to yourself,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, this I am going
to leave.
What is going with me
is Allah
this action. Right? What is going with me
is the effect of this action.
This thing itself, I'm gonna leave behind.
And then ask yourself whatever you are doing
for that thing, is it worth doing or
not?
Do this with everything in your in your
life, with your spouse, with your children, with
your parents, with your with your business, with
your house, with your with your dealings,
especially your dealings,
every single one of them. Right? Sit with
that. If the answer is yes, I'm doing
a great job. This is something which will
be for me, then by all means, continue
to do it. But if you are looking
at your business in which you are committing
haram,
say to yourself, this is going to be
finished. This will be here because Allah
said, whatever is with you will perish, will
finish,
and what is with Allah will remain.
So ask yourself, what is going to be
here? What is going to perish? What is
going to be with Allah?
This one, which is with me,
is going to perish. This dukan of mine,
this shop of mine, this business of mine
will remain here. I will be in my
grave.
The business will go to whoever is and
inherit from me, but I will be answering
in my grave for what I did.
If Allah does not forgive me, I will
be punished while those who inherit my business
will be enjoying that money.
And if they are enjoying haram money, when
their time comes to go into their graves,
they will also be punished.
My brothers and sisters,
the time to wake up is not when
Malakul comes for us. The time to wake
up is before that.
If we don't wake up before that, when
Malakul mouth comes, we will be in
serious, serious, serious trouble.
I don't wish that for myself, and I
don't wish that for you.
So please understand. Let us change our lives
because there is no alternative.
Our life must be changed.
So please
make sure that we do not do anything
which is displeasing to Allah
because as I told you,
the sin is sweet,
but the sweetness will remain here.
The sin itself, the action,
the effect of that action will go with
us into our graves and will be with
us when we are resurrected,
and this will be the cause of punishment
for us
unless Allah forgives us when we meet Allah.
So let us not put ourselves in a
position where
when Allah
gave us the opportunity
to repent, when Allah
gave us the opportunity
to turn towards him. We did not turn
towards him. We did not repent. And when
the opportunity is gone, then we want to
sit and say, oh, I wish I had
done this and done that. No. It doesn't
work like that. It doesn't happen.
And if we do not if we continue
in that way, then we are going to
be in serious
problems for ourselves.
Ask Allah
to help us
to do that which is pleasing to him
and to save us from ourselves.
