Everything that we do that deviates from justice will have an
impact has consequences.
Everything has to be used the way give you an example from the top
vein, which is this second generation after the Prophet
sallallahu lism. It's a well known Tabby story that he, the stabby
had,
or the Allah one had memorized the Quran, and he himself says that
one day for a few minutes, I did not guard my eyes.
Got the buzzer, what I should have done,
I was looking at someone in a certain way that I should not. And
that night, I told myself, he said, You will pay for this
at some point. And he said, Well, life 40 years later,
I forgot.
Then I remembered, you know why you forgot what happened, because
of that one injustice that I had done now different people at
different levels.
But whatever we do,
we will see the results of it either immediately
or later. And we may not even link the two together.
Such something will come around where I will have the
consequences.
So it's very, very important that every matter, we deal with
justice,
what else is justice balance?
You're hearing about this global warming,
that we have
moved the scales of justice, everything. If you burn too much
fuel. If you do this, if you dig too much, if you got too many
trees, it will have an impact. We're seeing that right. Things
are changing.
Take simple thing. Food is a necessity you should eat.
But if you start eating before the Halacha and you eat during the
Halacha and you eat after the Halacha is that justice? No.
Yes, yes, then you will see the consequences of digestion. So food
in its right amount is necessary. That's just if you eat too much,
does it? Is it harmful to your health or good for health?
Even things like that water.
Just last week, this week, I had a young lady who came in who had to
Grandma convulsions, epileptic attacks, guess what had happened.
Nothing wrong with it. Too much water, too much water, her sodium
dropped 214 She had two convulsions, you admitted in
Hartford, St. Francis.
Balance.
You know, when you're when you test your blood test, your pH
should be box 7.1 7.4.
My wife saying move on to the next i
but I'm trying to drive a point that everything is in balance, no
matter what you do. And I want you to think about it.
To reflect on this, because we the idea is not to go through this
whole thing and finish up that this balance permeates into every
aspect of our life, every single thing.
And the ultimate balances the guideline that Allah has said that
this is balance, not this. Not this. Okay? So if we keep
balancing our lives, we will
do
justice, the prophets of Allah Allah said Salam went on to
let me correct that.
I'm not sure. But our scholars have said
that
it disbelieving nation
who does justice, Allah will elevate them
and a Muslim nation that does injustice, Allah will bring them
down. That's how important justice is.
Okay. So let us look into our lives and see do we
have
justice in our lives?
Because the last one talks about the bucket balances a lot to go
fill MISA and don't exceed in the balance means don't do Dolman.
Anyway. Little goal, big zoom. And the ultimate of volume is what?
In our blank,
a full moon RV Mala smartlace What is that blank shell shell
Check in a shaker Laval MonaVie the ultimate injustice is that the
one who is created all of this, you either deny him or associate
partners with him that's the ultimate of the peak of avant but
every level below that
Allah that'll go fill me then do not transgress do not exceed those
bounds of justice of MISA and ultimately we depend on the
justice because there is a day of justice and there is Misa on that
allows me Zan and there there is no injustice then again, stressing
that three IERS are occasional was not built histy wala took several
Misa were occasional was nine establish the weight properly. Our
cable was not built test will justice wait. Now if you want to
take it in your trading, you're selling grain. You can take it
literally in that. And you know what do we do in our country's
most times the balances you put something on it they call it dandy
Marana they have their own ways of weighing less, giving you less
than what they're charging you for. And that permeates in many
other things, including in our profession, whatever profession
is, you're working as a salaried employee. And half the time or
quarter of the time or even one minute of the time you spend in
personnel things like checking my email, you're being paid by
someone else that is tilting you're not giving the full view
of what we do.
Allah says don't Willa, tuck Cyril MISA and don't fall short.
If you're going to make a mistake, give them more.
But don't give less. So this is very, very important. Again, this
is something that we need to reflect on.
From our own personal lives because everyone's experience is
different.
That I don't cheat anyone because
even if I give more guess what's going to happen? Allah will put
Baraka in.
But if I cheat people, that balance will be adjusted on the
day of judgment, but will also be adjusted here Allah will create
circumstances where the baraka will finish from from your wealth
and possessions and family and whatever else but whatever Allah
decides,
then Allah subhanaw taala, after stressing three is on justice, and
MISA says, Well, what are her lien Anna? Now, unless one brings us to
another one of his creation, which is that the Earth Allah subhanaw
taala says WADA Ha he has spread it out, he has laid it out with an
arm for his creatures.
Now we can look at that Allah Samantha has laid out there, and
on top of the earth, He has put water in certain areas, what's
about 71% of the surface is water.
For his creatures, and
now,
we have no clue of what the creatures are, we know some
things. We know things that fly in the air. Some of those we don't
know every type of bird. We know some of the things that crawl on
the earth. We know some of the things that live under the earth.
We know the big things, you know, the ones you know, we go to
safaris and this and that and deer and turkey and all of the but it's
just a small sampling of the creation and if you go under the
water, the creation there is unlimited unknown many times the
creation what we see on the earth, Allah has laid it down, what does
lay down means that he has created a habitat for all of these things
that from that route, they will all find their risk.
They are all living, it's not coming from the heavens.
It's all placed in such a balance that one supports the other the
ecosystem.
Yes, the big fish will eat the little fish and then this and so
on. So no, all of that. But it's all
the complexities if you make one change like they said this.
Killer Bees have come from Japan or somewhere special bees have
come they said if they have come and the bees have disappeared
because they've killed these bees and what changes to it's just a
bee.
The hives are gone. If the bees are gone, the pollination will
stop. Ultimately, if pollination stops the fruit and vegetables
will not come if that doesn't come the animals, it's all linked. It's
not going to happen tomorrow. But it's so intricately linked with
each other that Allah Subhana Allah says, and he just says, or
that or that we have spread it out. Allah
Montana sort of downplaying the complexities of what he has done.
And then he leaves it for us to reflect and think about these
things. And we should
it's always a good idea to see some of these National Geographic
videos and things and BBC, you know, all about about the Earth,
it is so fascinating things that we haven't thought about, that we
haven't seen. Yeah, spend some and reflect on all of that watch, you
know, everything you see is from Hana. Let's come spontaneously
from because you look at all of those
fear fuck, you had one naclo that will act, ma'am. So in this earth,
Allah says, We have created fruits, fear, Fuck, yeah.
One nothing.
Nothing is the palm trees, you know, the dates and all of that,
in the clusters that occur.
And again,
I don't think anybody all together, if we were to make an
effort to count the fruits that we know of, we still wouldn't be able
to count all the fruits that Allah has created. And then in each
fruit, let's take an app.
There are over 100 varieties of apple, the apple farmer will tell
you this is this, this this and they're all distinct. And with the
with the pears and with the grapes, and in everything unique.
So all of these were created for,
for you to recognize the rub, that he is providing to enjoy them.
So that at least you recognize him and you say Allah.
Like, I'll hunt, you provided this. Rather than just take it for
granted, which we'll do it here. We can pick up one grape here,
we'll do something, pick up something. Drinks and juice, you
know what has gone? What is behind that juice that is sitting here?
Where did the water evaporate?
Which ocean? Do you have any idea?
Where did those clouds go? To what levels no idea which angels push
those clouds? Where did it rain?
Which plants were growing there that were fed by that water? What
came out of the earth to create this, this grip. And then who
picked it up in which land? You have no idea, put it together in a
juice, which drug companies carried it to which store and then
somebody else didn't pick it up because your risk was written it
ultimately it came here and then it came into this household.
And I thought it was mine. But it wasn't because Dr. Murthy drank
because it was written in his account.
See, so we have no idea.
We just take you know give me some juice. Like think about the juice.
Maybe you will not want to drink it. Yeah Allah
do you have permission to drink this? Will I be able to thank you
enough for all the processes that have gone through to bring this to
me.
And that is the story with everything else that Allah has
given us that we enjoy.
just mentioned, fear forget, there are fruits, just generic illness,
illnesses.
Wonderful index. And there are hundreds of varieties of dates,
hundreds of varieties of dates, go online and you'll see their
distinct interest.
While helpful the last fee whatever I can, and the grain
Allah subhanaw taala talks about the grains he doesn't mention how
many grains you have, from rice, to wheat to corn to maize to go on
and on and on.
With the husks on them, you know us the husk on has grain and then
how they are created, how they're saved from some for the birds some
for you. And then how they're treating you know the farmer does
this and all the work that goes so that we pick up a little piece of
bread which we will have a list with no idea where it came from.
We don't even know if it came from America or from somewhere across
the oceans.
Who is the farmer who sweated over it? Who watered it who grounded
piece of bread.
So we have to think we have to be thinking people because once we
think what's behind this
inshallah we'll develop some
reasonable recognition of Allah subhanaw taala and then only we'll
be able to thank him to some degree
in showing you
from lawmakers among the ones who recognize him who see him and
everything, and
thank him.
Then after all of this, Allah subhanaw taala for the first time
says Furby, he learned a rugby coma to cut the bat now lies, as
we said, in the duel format. He's asking, then which of these favors
of Allah do the two of you deny the two of you we talked about
last time anybody remember what the two of you are?
Jin
Jin kind and the mankind and everything from now is addressed
both to Jin kinda and mankind.
Furby he, then Allah suffer means I've given you a few samplings of
what I have done, then which of the favors of your Lord do you or
you to deny?
And last time we said, this is the iron that keeps recurring, how
many times anybody remember, we mentioned it last time 31 times 31
times repetition. Why?
Because we are creatures who learn by repetition.
keep hammering, keep hammering till it becomes you want to
memorize the Quran, you got to keep doing keep doing keep doing
repeating anything you want to become skilled at a job, you got
to keep doing keep doing. You want to become a good doctor experience
if they ask you how long you've been doctors a day before
yesterday. So can you find someone else for me? Because I want you to
be doing this for 10 years before I want to trust my body to you in
everything, repetition, repetition. So Allah subhanaw
taala is hammering this at us in a very unique way.
By asking a question,
he's asking a question
which of the favors Do you
and the answer is obviously, what the jinn gave, what did the jinn
say to the when they heard this i?
Anybody remember what the respond in English
anyone?
Larbey, Shaman Nanak Robina
look at the bow, for lack of
Oh our Lord, we do not deny any of you have
any of them unto You is all Praise.
So, we must remember
this idea will come after every one of two of the following ideas
and then I want everyone to coordinate
Allah says this and how does it fit with this? Because I will ask
you there are some where you will be challenged a little bit to say
how does this fit with Fabio a year later on
now Allah subhanaw taala goes to the creation of mankind and says
Haleakala insane I mean Sol Sol in CalHFA har Allah in sun now you
were created. Allah subhanaw taala says from clay like potter's clay
like clay that dried you know, Potter's once you those who have
come from you have seen pottery clay when it becomes hard and you
you makes it sound on tongue to you make a salmon, pottery
potter's clay Allah subhanaw taala saying now that Holika in Santa
mon Sol Sol in Kalfa har that like pottery.
Now, he had said that we created all of this we created the earth
we spread out the earth we created the earth for as a means for all
of the creatures for the sustenance and all of that and
then you said we created you from the source you are part of this
earth because your ingredients are exactly what this earth contains
nothing that the body has is not what is from the earth
so what does that mean
let me also tell you that Allah mentioned we created you from
dust.
You created you from water
When you say clay means the same ingredients water and mud and dust
mix becomes clay and so there are different mentions of the same
thing so somebody you know if you say from clay is correct we say
from water it's correct if you say from dust, it's correct. It's all
all the same. But what is it telling us?
The earth is laid out in submission to
Allah subhanaw taala
if a piece of that Earth stands up six feet tall,
what should he be doing?
He should still be in submission to Allah subhanaw taala because
that's his origin
he shouldn't feel oh, I am the Burj Khalifa I am so big. I'm so
tall and why do I have to?
What is your origin? Dirt, dust.
Even even IBLEES understood that remember?
These are made from fire. I'm better is made from dust from
dirt.
So this should make us humble, humble beginnings, humble
beginnings and and
go to the other extreme humble beginnings and humble end because
you will become the same dust again
