Mufti Menk – Don’t Expect Justice In This World

In reality,

part of the mercy of Allah is that

He

penalizes those who deserve to be penalized.

Someone murdered your relative.

The mercy of Allah dictates that you see

justice. That person

needs to face some form of

penalization.

They need to, otherwise people would do what

they want. So it's easy for a person

who is sitting with a good heart has

not really seen the world to say what

was the need of having a prison? What

was the need of having hellfire when Allah

is so merciful?

Yet those who know and they've been through

the mill and they've been robbed and they've

been cheated and deceived, they are waiting for

the day of justice.

Are they not?

They are waiting for the day that Allah

will

serve justice and part of the justice and

mercy of Allah is that those who wronged

you. Don't worry. A day will come when

you will see that justice. In this world,

people can get away.

Today, you have a court case. You don't

even know what's going to happen. Most countries

in the world, there is tempering that goes

on in one way or another, be it

in a greater way or a smaller. So

you may never see justice on earth

from a 4 time. Look at the prophet

Yusuf, alaihis salam and others who were absolutely

innocent, yet they were jailed long term.

What was that?

Would you not like to see justice if

you were jailed long term recently in one

of the countries? A certain brother was jailed

for many, many years, apparently for more than

2 decades

for a murder he did not commit. And

when he was freed, subhanallah, see the smile

on his face. One wonders what's going through

his mind and his heart. May Allah make

it easy for him and his family who

lost him for 20 something years.

My brothers, my sisters, the courts of Allah

are more just than any other courts you

could ever have. And part of the goodness

of being a believer and part of the

plan of Allah for having sent us on

earth is to stand firm for justice.
