But imagine you're going through struggles.
People of yours, community who are members of
the same Ummah. And we said faith is
much more important than anything else.
And we we share the same faith. And
you know what? Nobody even bothered ask, are
you okay? Nobody bothered.
So so so it's important my brothers and
sisters that we make sure we are different
in that way.
Ask, Smile. Are you okay brother? Everything good.
Masha Allah or sister. Whoever it may be.
We have people who are struggling alone. That's
not how the Ummah should operate.
The believers, true believers are like one body.
Are you really like one body?
Are you really like one body? Do you
feel that Hadid says if one part of
a certain organ is in pain, the entire
body is in pain or suffers insomnia, cannot
sleep and so on. Is it really the
case?
I was talking to some a group of
people and one of the brothers told me
well you know what happens nowadays? I said
what happens? He says nowadays even if there's
nothing wrong with the body they'll take a
nail and nail it through your your finger.
Subhanallah. Whereas it's supposed to be that if
there is a little pain in your finger,
people should be helping you to actually alleviate
it.
But it's the opposite. We cause the harm.
No way. You cannot be a true believer.
You still need a lot of help. Do
not harm others. A Mu'min should not harm
another,
and we shouldn't be harming anyone for that
matter. We spread goodness, kindness. We want it
to happen now. I may not have so
much of time. No problem.
Use whatever Allah has given you to spread
goodness.
