Mufti Menk – It’s Not Just You, Think About Others

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03

You will not succeed if you look at

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

it from just one angle. I have one

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

issue. I have this thing. It's not happening

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

in my life. So what if it's not

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

happening? Keep trying.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

Be reasonable and don't just accept anything and

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

everything that comes in you in your direction.

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

Some people when they are desperate, they say,

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

No no, let me just take it. It's

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

okay.

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

No.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

Aim a little bit high. Don't miss your

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

life. You might just jump from the frying

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

pan to the fire.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

It's okay if something has happened in my

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

life and I don't have

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

what I wanted to have. It's okay,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

for as long as I'm okay. I have

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

food, I have drink, I have shelter, I

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

have I have a comfort zone around me.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

Subhanallah, look at the others today in war

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

zones. And where are the war zones? It's

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

not just palestine, by the way.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

Although that is the crisis of the Ummah

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

at the moment, but there's a problem in

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

sudan,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

where it's unbelievable

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

how

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

brothers are killing each other.

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

Again,

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

if you were to study it carefully,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

there is a hand that is playing in

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08

there,

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

making them kill each other. You really think

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

people just kill each other without a third

00:01:13 --> 00:01:13

party?

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

Especially brothers.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

Look at the countries that have been destroyed

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

one after the other. May Allah Almighty protect

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

us all.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

May Allah make us appreciate what we have,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

the peace and stability. We should hold on

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

to it.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

And that's why even if we have differences

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

amongst ourselves,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

we should never allow

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

these differences

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

to result

00:01:40 --> 00:01:40

in

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

physical harm of someone else.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

Never.
