Mufti Menk – I Stand for My Dignity

			You know, I always speak about buttering bread. And I just said earlier, who owns the bread and the
butter Allah, you don't butter my bread. And you shouldn't be thinking that anyone else is going to
butter your bread when they are oppressing you and harming you. I always tell those who have
employed others, please respect the employees. respect them. You know why? Because Allah has chosen
for them to be there and he's just watching you don't think I got the money? And I'm the one who's
the boss here. So I can say what I want to whoever works for me because tomorrow, it can turn around
or with your children, it might turn around who knows? And I always tell people you know what,
		

			Allah Almighty is the giver. Allah is the one I'd rather have less with dignity than have more with
total disrespect and dishonor. You got a post of a big manager but they swear you every day, every
day. And you are belittled and you are put to shame every I'd rather walk out and say you know what?
I have my honor, my dignity, I'll have less but inshallah walk away. Remember, Allah will definitely
record what's happening when you treat someone badly.
		

			I said this a few weeks ago, I have to say it again. When you treat someone badly, it's a date
against your name. It's coming back for you. It will come for you. Subhana Allah, when five years 10
years 20 years in you or someone around you something special to you, it's coming. Allah will never
let it go. But he gives you time to make peace. So before anything happens, go to those who've
wronged and apologize say look, I'm very sorry. You know, I spoke to you very rough. I'm a human.
Sometimes I actually you know, lose it a bit but i don't i mean well and so make peace, because what
did you do? You erased that bowl that was coming back to put you straight on your head. You threw
		

			the ball. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all.
