Mufti Menk – Listen To What Allah Says To You

My brothers and sisters, it brings a lot

of comfort. When you do good, do it

in the most beautiful way.

Don't worry what the naysayers are saying. When

you're doing good, keep doing good. Don't let

the negatives of others make your positive disappear.

Don't let the negatives of others make you

a negative person.

Don't allow their comments to make you stop

the good that you believe in.

Don't allow their actions to deter you from

continuing

the goodness that you stand for. This is

what we're being taught in this particular verse.

What amazing advice from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

What beautiful lessons we derive. What comfort we

achieve. There is a crisis indeed. People will

become jealous of you. They were jealous of

those better than you.

People will want to hurt you, accuse you.

It's fine. It's okay. That's what they were

cut for. Perhaps

we were not cut for that. We need

to continue doing the good in the face

of bad. We need to continue

proving what we stand for in the face

of challenges

and InshaAllah, if we pray for those who

are negative, perhaps a day will come when

they too will change their ways. They will

realize

we try with them and continue trying with

them. May Allah

grant us that comfort.
