Mufti Menk – Is That How Allah Wants

			rubber ducky Amon said moments ago, you spoke about tick tock, right? I tell you what people are
doing. Unfortunately, people sit on other people's tic TOCs and watch them as they flick. And the
only thing they can do is to comment negatively without giving anyone a word of encouragement
without saying anything. You have people who accepted Islam now now. And the next thing you find all
these Muslims bombarding them with so much do you reckon that's divine?
		

			Do you think that that's the way Allah wanted it? to bombard someone with so much that they feel
trapped? And they think to themselves, what did I just do? I always say you reverted to Islam, or
you're newly practicing, please move closer to Allah at your pace, but at a decent pace for as long
as you know, and Allah knows that you are heading in the right direction to the best of your
capacity and the ability inshallah you're doing the right thing. People are weak when it comes to
fulfilling their salah, but they're born Muslim and the same guys are attacking people who have a
different weakness as though they have no weakness whatsoever. I'm not saying don't remind.
		

			But when you remind people do so with utmost respect, putting yourself in their shoes, do so in a
manner that is so appealing that they feel like janela you can't look at someone and say well, I was
about to use a bad word let's not use it. When should I use it?
		

			Shouldn't
		

			it's not such a bad word like they say you know haram but not haram haram, you know?
		

			You know the words are becoming less and less bad. According to the age but in the eyes of Allah,
they are bad. I was going to use the word idiot.
		

			But I won't use it
		

			as that it's like when you want to tell someone how stupid they are. You say? I was going to tell
you how stupid you are. But I decided against it. That means you're so stupid. You know? You're
gonna say You know what? I was gonna call you an idiot. But I think I won't Subhanallah it means
you're a big idiot. That's what it means. May Allah forgive us. So I won't use the word okay, but
people use these words for others and you know what they are perhaps in the eyes of Allah worse than
those whom they are attacking, but they're just enjoying it on and you don't know the amount of pain
you cause the people you will pay for that pain, my brother, my sister, rather say an encouraging
		

			word. rather encourage people in a positive way learn it if you don't know how to do it remain
silent, because it's going to be held for you or against you. On the Day of Qiyamah the day of judge
is going to be held for you or against you I'm not going to sit and pass bad comments I do sometimes
see your posts people who are here I see your posts sometimes I do. I'm a human and I do use social
media so as I'm going up the chances are I probably would see what would I do? I probably would
comment Subhanallah but make sure it's me please. Right May Allah grant us ease the last time I
checked there were about 10,015 bank accounts I didn't know who I was.
		

			And looking Allah He I look at people who have more content than I do of my own and they have more
followers than I do. And I'm thinking to myself that's supposed to be moved to make and you tell the
guy can you please delete this video? It's not supposed to be it's a private video and they don't
answer they say no, you can you know, literally you can go to * basically. And I'm thinking let's
see who's gonna go to *.
		

			Allah Almighty forgive us people make accounts of everybody's names. Some of you might have people
who who love you so much that they make accounts and sometimes they hate you so much that they make
accounts to tarnish your image. This is what the world is all about. Now, be careful you do not be
on the wrong side of it. Because we are believers we know we are responsible. We know every action
has a reaction as believers you do good you get good, multiply, you do bad, you get bad multiplied.
Subhanallah bad meaning it's going to come back to you to haunt you. I know when you've committed a
sin against Allah, it's one for one. And when you did a good deed for Allah, it's one multiplied.
		

			But when you commit a sin against someone else, it's coming back to haunt you. It's definitely
coming to haunt you. May Allah Almighty grant us steadfastness and May we never be from among those
who hurt and abuse others. So you don't just sit and enjoy looking at things I was saying. Sometimes
I comment I would only say a good thing no matter who it is. Once I had a brother telling me share
stuff for Allah you commented on the sisters post Why were you watching sisters posts? I said
		

			well why were you watching not just the post but even went down and looked at the comments.
		

			I mean, what's good for the goose has to be good for the gander, isn't it? Come on. You telling me
why was I it was just a natural human thing. Not that I watched the whole thing who knows what I was
focused on. Amon tells me it's easy for me to lower my gaze because I need to wear glasses all I do
I take them out. He says when I look at the crowd, I get so much of confidence because I can't
really see the guys in front of me mashallah Tabata Kala, my brother, sorry about that. May Allah
Almighty grant us
		

			He's May Allah Almighty grant us goodness and ease but the truth of the matter is you're a human you
may come across something doesn't mean you're not allowed to say a word of encouragement you can no
matter who you are
