When his tribe were having an argument about
who should pick up the black stone and
place it on the Kaaba,
They called him in because they knew he
was fair. This was prior to prophethood.
And he solved the problem because there were
so many tribes, each one wanted the honor
of of taking this black stone and placing
it on the Kaaba,
and he's decided, no, let's get a cloth,
and each one of your leaders will hold
a part of it, and I will place
it and I'll place it on. So everyone
participated.
He is the one who told us,
if you interact with people and bear patience
upon what they might say, it's better for
you than to go all alone away from
everyone.
Wow.
So if you interact with your family, there
will be negatives.
There will be a little bit of politics.
It happens with every family.
But he says,
the better of the people are those
who interact and bear patience. Yes, to a
certain degree. When it starts affecting your sanity
and when it starts affecting your health, you
might want to take a step back, that
is fine too.
But don't let that be your first decision.
You The minute you have a little issue,
I'm never going back. No.
That's your family chosen by Allah. Those are
your relatives, those are your people, those are
those who you work with. Make peace.
He is the one who says,
On one hand, He's asked us to fulfill
family ties.
Then he explains
the person who's fulfilling the family ties is
not the one who has a tit for
tat relationship.
They gave, I gave. They came, we went.
They did, we did.
The true
person fulfilling family ties
is the one
whom when the other party has broken the
relation,
they make an effort and a constant effort
to build it. They make a constant effort
to mend it.
And this is why Allah Almighty revealed verses.
Between people,
to mend relations.
Are you going to be a true follower
of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him?
Today I'm addressing
Muslims and non Muslims.
Those who are Muslims, we already say
we know Him,
but in actual fact,
you will get to know more and more,
and you will follow more and more by
the will of Allah, and you will get
to love more and more,
and you will, subhanallah,
achieve
peace and comfort in your life.
And in the hereafter you will see great
success.
