Mufti Menk – The Levels of Dealing With Evil

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

Wallahi, what we have seen in the last

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

few days is even worse

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

than what we saw at the beginning of

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

this crisis.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

And what is going on?

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11

Yes,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

martyrs will enter Jannah.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

Yes, martyrs have a very, very high rank.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

And yes, Allah has a quota of martyrs

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

that he has to and will take every

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

single year.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

But that does not mean we do not

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

feel it.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

There are 3 levels

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam speaks

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

about. No 4th level.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

The first is you feel in your heart

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

that what they are doing is wrong to

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

our brothers and sisters. And you pray for

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

them. And you care in the way that

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

you your sleep is affected because

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

that

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

which they are doing to them, they could

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

do it to you and I. And you

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

know what? Given the opportunity they would. They

00:00:54 --> 00:00:54

would.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

Those are criminals man.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

They would.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

And at the same time, secondly,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

if Allah has given you the ability to

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

talk about it, to conscientize about it, like

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

what we are doing right now.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

You talk about

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

it. Tell the others and tell those who

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

are perpetrating

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

the crime that you are wrong. What you

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

are doing is wrong, unacceptable.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

You will be punished for it in this

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

world and the next.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

And they might get away a little bit

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

here. They will not get away in the

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

court of Allah

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

And the third, those in authority who have

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

the ability and capacity,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

they should stop them with their hands.
