Mufti Menk – Become an Asset to Society

			You need to be a unique person. I want everyone tonight to promise that you're going to work on this
uniqueness. I am unique. I need to be an asset within my home, my family I must help out. I must
help I must help my mother, my father, I must be respectful. Even if there is a problem, I must be a
vehicle of solving the problem not creating a bigger disaster, I must be able to do things that are
special. That's what makes me a believer, then I can call myself a Mothman. Our brothers and sisters
are dying in Gaza. You know what's happening? It's unacceptable. It's a genocide. It's even worse.
And here we are not exemplary in our own families. It's more like we have our own little Gaza going
		

			on in our own homes.
		

			Big problem people are crying from before the issue, because we have issues at home. And who is it
internally, it's you causing the problem. You are the issue you are the problem.
		

			If that's true, we can
		

			resolve
		

			we can change we have to we must imagine getting married and three years later, we fought for each
other for eight years. Three years later we swearing shouting You know why? This guy has no time for
his wife. But every night and every other night. He wants to go and spend the night with his friends
coming back at two three o'clock in the morning.
		

			Have you forgotten the days you used to fight to get married crying to Allah at the time of the
hatchet and now you with your friends very well. We only doing shisha you be unique. There must be
something unique about you. You're a believer. You're not an ordinary person walking on the street,
you carry yourself in the most amazing way. When people look at you. They want to be like you, they
respect you. They honor you. They love you. They feel so much of goodness within them that you are
an asset to the society, the community. That's how it should be. I don't want to lead my life in a
way that people look at me as a pain in community. I don't want to lead my life in a way that people
		

			look at me as a problem. As a liability, no, I'm an acid I will come and help you because I'm
supposed to be unique. I'm supposed to be a believer in Allah. I'm not going to hurt and harm my
family members to begin with, be it my mum and dad, whether or not they get on with my wife is a
separate issue. I am going to treat them both in a way they're supposed to be treated with utmost
respect and I will manage and navigate through whatever differences they are and ensure that none
encroaches on the other Subhanallah will you taught that the answer is no. Or you're lopsided siding
with one at the expense of the other.
		

			May Allah Almighty protect us
