Mufti Menk – Ramadan 2021 Boost #07 – The Effects of Good and Bad

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah, Allah, he was happy at mine,
		

			my beloved brothers and sisters, in order to do anything you require energy. Where does that energy
come from? One might say the energy comes from the food and drink the nutrients that I partake of
what I consume? That is correct. Now, did you realize that your body and your system is energized to
do good things, when your consumption is of halaal and pure food and your body and your system is
energized to do the wrong things, when there is something wrong with what you consume? Now that is
extremely important. It puts into perspective a lot. We have a narration of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, wherein he speaks of a man who is raising his hands crying to Allah calling out
		

			for his needs. And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says that what is said about this man is malba su
harem walmartone Mu haraam wa Mashallah boo hoo ha ROM, for under use the job only valic his food is
haram, his drink is haram. His dress is haram. Everything is haram with via been Haram. His entire
system has been nourished by what is haram How is this person's going to be answered? Now, if you
look at the verses we recited tonight of surah, Tottenham and saw that a lot of thereafter, in Surah
to an arm Allah says very clearly,
		

			for kuno
		

			dukey Rossmo La, la ko call bi team meaning if you are true believers eat from that which the name
of Allah is mentioned upon. We as Muslims are not allowed to just kill an animal and begin to
consume. You have to seek the permission of the giver of the life to have taken that life away for a
purpose and the means of taking the life away should be the most humane manner. May Allah grant us
an understanding more than that, we are supposed to be looking at how that animal was treated during
its life, especially when we have nowadays the commercial growth of these particular birds or
animals. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us success and an understanding similarly, Allah subhanho
		

			wa Taala tells us very clearly not to consume that where the name of Allah has not been mentioned
upon its slaughter. So if there is an animal and it has just been killed, you're not allowed to
consume that because it has been literally stolen from the property of Allah subhanho wa Taala. May
Allah grant us an understanding while at corno meme, Malamute Garry's Mod Allah, Allah he was in his
spot, don't consume that where the name of Allah has not been mentioned upon its slaughter because
it is sinful and it is impure. We must make sure that even the income we have needs to be from a
permissible source from a pure source. Don't steal and deceive from people don't come the people
		

			because as much as you may have amassed wealth, but the energy you derive from that will never be
used in the right direction. If you are feeling lazy to fulfill your duty unto Allah, and you're
feeling energized to commit sin, it's about time you asked your yourself a question, Where is my
income coming from? May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all. I move on to something very
interesting also at the end of Surah Al Anam where Allah speaks about good deeds, and the fact that
Allah is just, he does not hold against you a bad deed except as one bad deed. But when it comes to
good deeds, he multiplies it for you if you looked after it, we did Salah just now, we heard the
		

			most beautiful recital of chef Mustafa Zane beautiful recital, literally, it took us amazingly into
these verses. And I'm sure every one of us felt the same. Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling us
these good deeds that you do for the sake of Allah. Yes, they are accorded next to your name. If you
arrive on the day of judgment and you have your good deed with you, and you did not give it to
someone because of backbiting, stealing, cheating, deceiving, etc. When you have
		

			taken from the rights of others, you are going to pay these good deeds to them so you won't have it
when you come. It's going to be taken away from you. But if you have protected yourself from harming
others in any way, and you bring your good deed on the Day of Judgment, listen to what Allah says,
Man
		

			Bill has an IT fella who I show.
		

			Whoever comes with a good deed on that day it shall be multiplied for them by 10. And when you come
with a bad deed, Allah says we don't multiply bad deeds. We look for any excuse to forgive that bad
deed in nulla high level view. You shall cabbie wire Wolfie Roma, Duna and economy.
		

			Besides shirak, and association of partnership with Allah in worship, Allah says, I can forgive
anything if you come without having sought the forgiveness. One thing I don't want to forgive the
rest of the things who knows I may choose to forgive you. May Allah grant us from his mercy. So
remember to look after your good deeds by being good to others, no matter who they are. Don't
transgress No need to say bad words about others behind their backs. So you could work What are you
losing or gaining Subhanallah when you say something bad, in fact, when you say something bad you
lose a lot. But when you are saying something good, you will only but gain, may Allah Subhana Allah
		

			you will only gain May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us ease.
		

			If we look at the next surah that we recited this evening, moving on to sort of two very distinct
matters that I want to make mention of connected to a certain extent. The first is the creation of
the first of our species. Who was he? Adam alayhis salam.
		

			Something you need to think about is Adam alayhis. Salam was created by Allah. He spoke to Allah,
Allah addressed him. Allah told him, You can do what you want in this place. That place was a
garden, it was a unique garden. The scholars have said it's not the same garden that is called Gen
nettle filled devils, but it is a different type of agenda which was created specially for that
particular purpose. So everything was allowed there permissible everything is okay. You can do
whatever you want. Besides one thing, think about this. Allah told him do anything and everything
eat anything and everything you can do what you like you and your spouse, or Allah.
		

			He shadow Raja Fattah Khun amin avani. mean, don't consume from one tree. Only this tree don't eat
from it one thing. Can you imagine that is exactly the same tree that he ate from Allahu Akbar. Can
you think of this? Allah told him not to do one thing and that is exactly what he did. If Adam
alayhis salatu salam fell to the trap of shape and Do you really think you and I are going to be
strong enough not to fall into his trap. But Allah's mercy will protect us? our dedication by the
help of Allah for the sake of Allah will protect us. The good thing is, as soon as he ate, he knew
he did wrong. he regretted as soon as you and I commit sin we should know we did wrong and we should
		

			regret a sign of goodness and your Eman is that you regret the sin you committed. Then immediately
he said a few good words to Allah. What were those words? We mentioned them before we recited them
tonight. robina
		

			for Santa was a lambda v Lana,
		

			Lana coonan Amina hos eating, Oh Allah, we wronged ourselves. And if you don't forgive us and you
don't have mercy on us, we are going to be the losers. Allah says you know what, I forgive you
Subhana Allah. From this, I learned that there is hope for you and I to earn gunmetal fear dose by
constantly turning to Allah wherever shaytan has trapped us. Now that we've learned, Allah says when
a person commits sin, what happens they become shameless. If you remain in the sin, there comes a
time when you no longer regret it. The first time you do something wrong, say *, say for
example, adultery, or say drugs, whatever else it might be first time you do it, you feel guilty.
		

			You feel like oh, this is something terrible. I shouldn't have done this. That's a sign of your
flicker of Eman. The angel is trying to help you to tell you not to do this. You do it again and
again and again and again. They say a person becomes so used to it that it's second nature, they no
longer think it's haram when you delay your Salah you don't do your Salah, you missed one Salah you
are like kiama has come What just happened? But you start missing it every other day. There comes a
time when you don't bat an eyelid to you. It's okay, I'll sleep You don't even think I should wake
up for my prayer for the sake of Allah. It might just be my last prayer before I die Subhana Allah
		

			so that is a point of advice that Allah gives us an instruction not to fall in the trap of shape and
in the same way that shape and trapped. Our father Adam May peace be upon him. And the last thing I
wish to mention today is probably
		

			One of the most touching verses when it comes to a discussion between the people of Jannah paradise
and the people of hellfire. And we've spoken about this year in year out because it is definitely
something true. Allah uses the past tense because for him, it's as good as done Subhan Allah,
remember tenses and time is a creature of Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala will destroy what is known
as time how Allah knows best, but listen to the discussion. One of
		

			us have been, oh God.
		

			Call the people of Paradise will call out to the people of hellfire. Hey, we found what we were
promised by Allah to be true for how to
		

			call. So did you find what Allah promised you to be true as well? And you know what that means,
right? Allah promised us you do good you get good and you do bad. What will happen? You obviously
cannot be recompensed with goodness when you do bad. So the people of Hellfire Allah says con una
they will say yes indeed in regret in shame, they will say yes. And Allah subhanho wa Taala has
registered that discussion because it is going to happen and they will come a time Allah says when
the those of Hellfire will be burning such that they will call out to those in paradise. May Allah
make us from among those in paradise say amin,
		

			ask Allah everyday Allahumma inni as a local General, ask Allah every day ask him it is registered
when you say Don't forget to ask Allah Allah Hama me as a local ginetta wa la hamin Colin wa Amen,
amen. Oh Allah I asked you paradise and I asked you to make easy for me to do those deeds that will
bring me closer to Jenna and even the utterances that will bring me closer to gentlemen. So listen
to this discussion. One of
		

			us have been Jen it and I think
		

			minute
		

			long, they will say the people of Hellfire will say to those of Paradise, can you please pull on us
a little bit of water or anything that you can grant us on this day from what Allah has given you?
That's the discussion because of the heat, pour on us a little bit of water any liquid throw it in
this direction, so that we can at least have a little bit of you know, the lessening of the burden
and the feeling of this punishment. Gone? Oh, in Allah ha ha Rama Huma Annan caffine alladhina
budino whom la
		

			Eva wahama to Moodle hire to do nia. The people of Jana and paradise will say you know what Allah
has prohibited it today from those who disbelieve those who did not take their religion seriously.
Those who did not take their connection with Allah seriously. They thought it was just an amusement
and pass time and they forgot Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			And they just played on Earth, they amuse themselves. And that's it. They didn't prepare for this
day yet they were warned again and again. And Allah subhanho wa Taala says, finally Oh man,
		

			whom Come on us only call me.
		

			On this day, we will forget them in the same way. They forgot their day that they were going to meet
with us this day they forgot it. So what we will do, we will forget them. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala grant us from his mercy. All these warnings in the Quran are there in order for us to be
correcting ourselves so that we can do the right thing in sha Allah. The warnings in the Quran of
the punishment are there in order to make us do the right thing and to let us know that indeed
goodness awaits those who do good May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us from his goodness, and May
Allah open our doors May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from the people of general Fidel's and
		

			paradise akuto Kohli hada was on Allahu wa barik ala nabina Muhammad wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
wa barakato.
