Mufti Menk – Temptations and Patience

			Brothers and sisters when things are prohibited, sometimes Allah might test you by making it
accessible. It is so tempting to earn money in the wrong way. Allah says, Do you prefer me or you
prefer the money that is earned in a wrong way so hon Allah it's up to you to prove yourself to
Allah, that Allah giving you a chance to prove yourself to Him and He will give you the comfort as a
result of that. The blessings they are in halaal income, such that even if you were to try your best
with haram income, you would never be able to achieve what you would achieve by a little bit of
halaal income, the blessings what we seek from Allah subhanho wa Taala. The same applies when
		

			adultery is very easy to commit and you still stay away from it. You've arrived at a different level
in your relationship with Allah when doing something totally wrong, whether it be intoxicants or
gambling when it is so easy, so tempting. Others have made money others are saying certain things
but you know, between you and Allah, Allah says, Don't do it. It is an abomination from the
handiwork of the devil and you stay away from it. Allah protects you from crisis Allah gives you the
comfort that you will only be able to taste when you've developed that beautiful correct
relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala. So we ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to grant us from
		

			his mercy
