Mufti Menk – Are You Just Searching For Loopholes

And every time they tell you to do

something, you don't do it, and you insult

them, and you abuse them, and you say,

I don't want, and you say And then

when you want help from them, what do

you expect? Do you really think they're going

to help you? We all believe that what

Allah has given us, we actually don't even

deserve because of our disobedience.

Are we really regular with our 5 prayers?

Do we dress in the absolute modest way

as instructed by Allah? Those two things we

cannot do, and we expect Allah to just

sit back and have everything calm, cool, and

smooth for people who are not interested in

worshiping him. Not at all. Everything must be

smooth sailing, calm, relaxed. There must be no

hardship. I must have sustenance. I must get

a job. I must pass at schools. I

must do what and what and what. And

do you know what? I'm not even prepared

to dress

according to I say I'm not ready. I'm

not ready. It's between me and Allah. I'm

not ready and I don't want to do

it. And and you know what? It's just

between me and Allah. Allah is going to

judge me. Allah says, we've already judged you.

We already know what calamities are going to

strike you as a result of your, not

only

disobedience, which is one thing, but arrogance.

To say, I know Allah said this, but

it's okay. I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm okay.

I'll explain to Allah why I didn't do

this.

Allah told you something. If you're looking for

loopholes, you'll find every loophole on earth. Any

ruling you want, there'll always be some wise

crack on earth who's going to permit something

prohibited.

You know deep down what the rules are.

You know deep down what exactly Allah wants

from you. So remember, don't

make a mockery of yourself because at the

end of the day, you have no option

but to return to Allah. You have no

option but to be at the mercy of

Allah. You have no option but to go

back to where you came from. The world

can tell you what it wants. The biggest

and most powerful

can destroy you. They will also be destroyed.

They can actually cause your death. They will

also die. They're not immortal.

That's what it is.
