At that juncture, do you not agree that
the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasalam's existence
in some form was already there because Allah
Almighty says
that he's created us thereafter
from the 2 Adam and Eve. Adam and
Hawa. May peace be on them. And Allah
says,
Allah tells us he created
or he removed from
the back of Adam.
He removed from Adam alaihis salam
all those who were to come.
Right up to the end from him. Everyone.
You were there. I was there. I can't
remember. But I was there. You were there.
And what was the question that Allah Almighty
asked them?
Am I not your Lord? And everyone said
indeed you are. Allah says don't forget this
day. Don't come back to me one day
and say we forgot. Wallahi my brothers and
sisters,
that is the fitrah upon which Allah created
us. What is fitrah?
Uncontaminated
nature of man.
That word uncontaminated
is absolutely important
because the hadith
says,
There there is no one who is born
except that they are
born upon fitra,
upon the nature.
And Allah Almighty says clearly,
the parents play a role in contaminating
that particular fitra or
in letting it follow through. The parents would
come would
educate them or make them think in a
certain direction and this hadith says,
the parents would make them into Jews or
Christians or whoever it may, including Muslim. You
would be that.
Within yourself if you were uncontaminated,
you would recognize what's right and wrong on
your own.
The minute there's contamination of environment, as you
grew older you saw
things. It's like programming your phone. You downloaded
apps but one day your phone was new
and there were no apps.
No apps.
One terabyte space.
One terabyte space.
You buy the phone, it's brand new. What
is in it? 1 or 2 things
to to keep going.
A few factory settings. Agree?
These factory settings allow you to download things.
As you download
1, 2, 3, it begins to affect your
phone. Right?
Wallahi, the same applies to mankind where
as you grow older you you see things,
you are taught things, you watch the environment
and so on. And subhanAllah, guess what?
Guess what?
You start thinking this is normal. This is
okay. My brother, that's not normal. Subhanallah.
It is only because
of the environment that you think it's normal.
