Mufti Menk – Ramadan 2022 – Reconnecting with Revelation #24 – False accusation

			Geeta Boone
		

			Zelina, who Isla de Gama call me
		

			Oh, yeah, he when he got on.
		

			Salam Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakato. My brothers and sisters, everyone loves their reputation.
I have a reputation while we'd like it to be good, mashallah, everyone wants to have a brilliant
reputation. And so sometimes what happens is people accuse us of things that are damaging to our
reputation.
		

			And that's not a nice thing. Allah Almighty warns us not to falsely accuse others. And Allah
Almighty warns us to solve matters in a way that does not miss the reputation of those who perhaps
are good people, and they may have made a mistake. But sometimes when a crime is committed, you
cannot hold back claiming that I'm going to protect this person's reputation. Because the question
is, what reputation so we ask Allah to grant us dignity and respect. We ask Allah to protect our
reputation. And at the same time, we will assist to protect the reputations of others, especially
where they're unfairly or unjustly accused. We have a Surah Surah Noor Surah, to know named after
		

			the light, beautiful light, the light that grants clarity, obviously the light of Allah, Allah is
described as light. So it's a beautiful light mentioned in this beautiful surah. But at the same
time, it starts off with
		

			mention of adultery, and the punishment for it. And then, a crime that is even worse, is to accuse
others of having affairs when they haven't to accuse others of committing adultery, when they
haven't, you may have seen someone talking, you may have seen people having a meal together, you may
have seen them doing something, but you cannot conclude that the two are having an affair. You
cannot conclude that the two have committed adultery. And if you were to make that accusation, then
Allah Almighty says that is one of the worst things you could ever do.
		

			It's worse than the adultery itself to accuse someone, unjustly without witness. Without proper
evidence. Allah Almighty warns us and says that the punishment of it is tasted in this world. And in
the next. So if we look at Surah to know, Allah Almighty says, Those who accused the chase to women,
chased women will Lavina hormonal Masan at first number four of surah. To know those who accused the
chaste women and do not present evidence of that accusation of adultery or fornication.
		

			They should be punished, they should be punished severely. That's what Allah Almighty says so
		

			Islamically if a person were to accuse someone else, they should bring evidence if they don't, they
would have been punished. May Allah Almighty protect us. This shows us how important it is to
protect our tongues from uttering words that are unacceptable, you will never be able to connect
with Allah. If you have
		

			accused his worshipers of things they're not guilty of, even if it's not adultery and fornication.
This is probably one of the worst examples but it's given in the Quran, which means one of the worst
things that could have happened.
		

			But at the same time, if it is anything else, it is still a false accusation. And the Prophet peace
be upon him was lying down
		

			when he was mentioning some of the major sins and then he got up and His face changed color. And he
says, Allah our CO Lazuli was shahada to Zoo. You know, these false statements, false accusations
and false witness. These are major major sins in Islam. So we ask Allah Almighty to protect us.
		

			Similarly, when it comes to immorality, Surah to know that mentions the light makes mention of the
moral values of a Muslim, how we should carry ourselves, carry yourself in a way that is very
respectful to the opposite * extremely respectful, and don't judge them based on their shape, or
their complexion, or their body parts and so on as Muslimeen we should
		

			offer respect to everyone, no matter who they are, what size they are, what race they come, who they
are, and so on. We should offer respect
		

			To everyone and give them a chance Subhanallah sometimes people tend to incline towards those who
perhaps are of a certain or a certain specification to where did that way however, Allah Almighty
warns us. And he says, carry yourself in such a respectful way that you do not make people
uncomfortable, that you do not judge them unfairly something not in their hands, the color of your
eyes, for example, a lot of these things are not in your hands and we should not become enslaved by
that. So in order to protect us, Allah Almighty teaches us these values, very, very lofty values,
and tells us if you're a believer, you will be bothered about the way you manage your eyes.
		

			Subhanallah if you're a believer, you will be bothered about the way you manage your tongue, the way
you manage your eyes. All of this is part of the gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala for us. So Allah
Almighty also speaks about spreading tales. Spreading tales means the tales of immorality, Allah
Almighty tells us do not spread tales of immorality, and do not spread immorality among the
believers. Those who love to spread immorality, be it the acts, the acts themselves, or stories of
immorality, Allah says, for them is a severe punishment in this world and the next, you're not
supposed to do that. So you don't go around telling people stories of how some immoral things
		

			occurred.
		

			Allah says among the believers, you keep it clean. You make sure your words are clean, your stories
are clean, everything is clean, because you don't want them the values to drop. You don't want the
level of morality to drop. That's what the Quran says. So protect society from that by not spreading
tales that are dirty, or stories that are immoral. Allah says in the Latina you a buena and Tashi
Alfa Isha to fill Lavina Amanu la Hamada Lehmann for dunya and akhira. Allah Almighty in verse
number 19, of Surah, to Nora
		

			says, Those who love to spread immorality among the believers or the tails of immorality among the
believers, for them, will be a severe punishment in this world and the next, they will taste the
after effect of that, may Allah Almighty grant us all protection. And Allah says in verse number 24,
on the Day of Judgment, something will happen, that will shock the people.
		

			The shock will be that your hands, your tongues, your legs, your feet, your eyes, your organs, will
bear witness against you on that day. And Allah Almighty here singles out those who have been
accusing others and those who have spread dirt and immorality among people. Allah says on that day,
to shadow Allah him Alsina To whom will add him or Julia whom be McHenry I'm alone, their tongues,
their hands, their feet or legs will bear witness against them, regarding what they used to do.
		

			Imagine your hand speak out against you. Imagine your body parts speak out against you and bear
witness that No, you did do this. I know. May Allah subhanahu wa to Allah protect us all. It's
something that's not easy. And this is why Allah Almighty warns us about it. lead your life in a way
that you repent to Allah and you change your ways. You repent to Allah and you change your ways for
the better, and Allah will grant us ease.
		

			Then Allah Almighty speaks about lowering the gaze, didn't I say managing your eyes? Well, you
manage your eyes by lowering your gaze when it comes to looking at that which may entice you which
may, for example, affect you negatively. Allah Almighty says, Keep your peace, lower your gaze,
lowering your gaze, you maintain the peace you appreciate what you have, rather than desiring what's
never going to be yours. May Allah Almighty grant us goodness.
		

			So if you look at verse number 3130 and 31 of Surah to know, Allah starts off by addressing the
males and tells them to lower their gazes. Yeah, who dooming upside him tell the believing males to
lower their gazes and to protect their private parts. Then Allah says, and tell the believing
females to lower their gazes and protect their private parts. This is the level of morality that
Allah has asked us as believers to be upon. So you look at something you're not supposed to be
looking at. Lower your gaze, thank Allah keep moving. Respect the people.
		

			No matter who they are, may Allah Almighty grant us goodness protect us all from harm and evil, help
us reconnect with Him. If we were to maintain a high level of morality, we will definitely be able
to connect with Allah and He will solve a lot of our problems. In fact, these problems will be
prevented from occurring in the first place, by the will of Allah. May Allah grant us ease Apolo
