Mufti Menk – Amazing Solutions Taught By The Prophet Muhammad

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03

When his tribe were having an argument about

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

who should pick up the black stone and

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

place it on the Kaaba,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

They called him in because they knew he

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

was fair. This was prior to prophethood.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

And he solved the problem because there were

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

so many tribes, each one wanted the honor

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

of of taking this black stone and placing

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

it on the Kaaba,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

and he's decided, no, let's get a cloth,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

and each one of your leaders will hold

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

a part of it, and I will place

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

it and I'll place it on. So everyone

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

participated.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

He is the one who told us,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

if you interact with people and bear patience

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

upon what they might say, it's better for

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

you than to go all alone away from

00:00:49 --> 00:00:49

everyone.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:50

Wow.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

So if you interact with your family, there

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

will be negatives.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

There will be a little bit of politics.

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

It happens with every family.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:01

But he says,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

the better of the people are those

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

who interact and bear patience. Yes, to a

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

certain degree. When it starts affecting your sanity

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

and when it starts affecting your health, you

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

might want to take a step back, that

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

is fine too.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

But don't let that be your first decision.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

You The minute you have a little issue,

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

I'm never going back. No.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

That's your family chosen by Allah. Those are

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

your relatives, those are your people, those are

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

those who you work with. Make peace.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

He is the one who says,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

On one hand, He's asked us to fulfill

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

family ties.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

Then he explains

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

the person who's fulfilling the family ties is

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

not the one who has a tit for

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

tat relationship.

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

They gave, I gave. They came, we went.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

They did, we did.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:03

The true

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

person fulfilling family ties

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

is the one

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

whom when the other party has broken the

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

relation,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

they make an effort and a constant effort

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

to build it. They make a constant effort

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

to mend it.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

And this is why Allah Almighty revealed verses.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

Between people,

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

to mend relations.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

Are you going to be a true follower

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him?

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

Today I'm addressing

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

Muslims and non Muslims.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

Those who are Muslims, we already say

00:03:13 --> 00:03:13

we know Him,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

but in actual fact,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

you will get to know more and more,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

and you will follow more and more by

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

the will of Allah, and you will get

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

to love more and more,

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

and you will, subhanallah,

00:03:29 --> 00:03:29

achieve

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

peace and comfort in your life.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

And in the hereafter you will see great

00:03:35 --> 00:03:35

success.
