Mufti Menk – Do You Really Value Your Salaam

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

Nonetheless, when I say

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

to you, I mean, I guarantee you, I

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

will not harm you. What does peace be

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

upon you actually mean? What peace? I'm talking

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

of holistic

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

peace. Peace be upon you from Allah. May

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

peace be upon you from me. I'm not

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

gonna harm you. The type of peace I

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

can offer you, it's going to be there.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

What peace Allah can give you is actually

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

holistic. Allah will give you contentment and so

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

much more. The most beautiful, most amazing greeting

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

ever is assalamu alaikum.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

The greeting on that day

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

when they meet with Allah will be salaam.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

Peace.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

SubhanAllah. So be conscious of the fact that

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

you are saying, assalamu alaikum. What's the point

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

of assalamu alaikum? And then you dagger the

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

person as they turn around. You say, you

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

know what? Rotten person, and you walked away.

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

Why did you have to say salam if

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

that's how you felt?

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

In fact, the reason I raise all of

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

this is because

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

to show a concern for your brothers and

00:01:05 --> 00:01:09

sisters begins at home. It begins here. It

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

begins with those around you, those you interact

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

with. Allah places people in your life, makes

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

you pass people on the street,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

designed by him. It was not just a

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

mere coincidence

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

designed by Allah. You passed a certain person,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

or you crossed paths with someone, or you're

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

in a situation, or you're sitting next to

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

someone right now.
