Mufti Menk – Are You Okay

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

But imagine you're going through struggles.

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

People of yours, community who are members of

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

the same Ummah. And we said faith is

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

much more important than anything else.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

And we we share the same faith. And

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

you know what? Nobody even bothered ask, are

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

you okay? Nobody bothered.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

So so so it's important my brothers and

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

sisters that we make sure we are different

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

in that way.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

Ask, Smile. Are you okay brother? Everything good.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

Masha Allah or sister. Whoever it may be.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

We have people who are struggling alone. That's

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

not how the Ummah should operate.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

The believers, true believers are like one body.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

Are you really like one body?

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

Are you really like one body? Do you

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

feel that Hadid says if one part of

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

a certain organ is in pain, the entire

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52

body is in pain or suffers insomnia, cannot

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

sleep and so on. Is it really the

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

case?

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

I was talking to some a group of

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

people and one of the brothers told me

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

well you know what happens nowadays? I said

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

what happens? He says nowadays even if there's

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

nothing wrong with the body they'll take a

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

nail and nail it through your your finger.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

Subhanallah. Whereas it's supposed to be that if

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

there is a little pain in your finger,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

people should be helping you to actually alleviate

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

it.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

But it's the opposite. We cause the harm.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

No way. You cannot be a true believer.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

You still need a lot of help. Do

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

not harm others. A Mu'min should not harm

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

another,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

and we shouldn't be harming anyone for that

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

matter. We spread goodness, kindness. We want it

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

to happen now. I may not have so

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

much of time. No problem.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

Use whatever Allah has given you to spread

00:01:41 --> 00:01:41

goodness.
