Allah made us different for us to enjoy
the earth. Imagine if there were no reptiles,
there were no lions because they are harmful.
There were no cheetahs and no snakes, And
there were no crocodiles or reptiles. Life would
be boring, honestly.
And Kenya wouldn't make that much money, by
the way.
But Allah has blessed you. You have everything.
You have everything. It's beautiful. Call people who
haven't seen the elephant to come and see
what the elephant is all about. The big
five, masha'Allah.
They will come and see Allah has made
it. We what do we do with those
animals?
We actually fulfill their rights
as far as we can. We appreciate.
We don't want to destroy and become destructive,
but
we seize the opportunity of growth through those
differences that we have. Don't you think human
beings are far more important? Subhanallah.
Human beings are far more important.
The man you don't get along with I
don't want to say mother-in-law, but the person
you don't get along with is not a
reptile.
They're not crocodiles.
They're not lions. That's a human being. Set
aside your differences. Talk to each other. Make
life easy for someone. Allah will make life
easy for you. Imagine the hadith says,
1 hadith. Whoever makes
whoever eases the difficulty of another, in this
dunya, Allah will create ease for them in
the akhirah. And in another narration, in this
world and the next. And another narration speaks
about humanity at large.
The The prophet
says, have mercy upon those on earth.
He didn't specify
have mercy only on the Muslims, have mercy
only on this, have mercy no.
Have mercy upon those on earth and the
one in the heavens will have mercy upon
you. Ask yourself,
am I merciful?
Am I merciful to my brothers, my sisters,
my sisters, my parents, my children, my in
laws, whether they be daughter-in-law,
son-in-law,
mother-in-law,
father-in-law, whoever else. Am I merciful towards these
people? If I am, then Alhamdulillah.
If I am not,
you need to build the bridge.
If you don't, how are you going to
cross into Jannah?
You need a bridge to cross into paradise.
It is Asirah.
We hear about it in the Hadith. We've
read about it in the Quran.
Yes. It is of a different nature, but
your
living on earth will determine
in which manner you will cross
that bridge. Some will cross it like a
flash.
Some will struggle on it. Some will drop
into Jahannam.
Do we want that to happen to us?
No. So learn to build your bridges here,
and Allah will help you cross that bridge
there.
