Mufti Menk – They’re Excited In Prison

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

Sometimes you have a person,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

he thinks he is powerful.

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

He wants to harm you. You know what

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

happens?

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

In His harm for you,

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

your contentment

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

is greater

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

than His own anger that He has within

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

Him. Yet, you are the 1 who is

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

wronged, and he is the 1 who thinks

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

he is right. That is from Allah.

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

That is from Allah.

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

When the ulama of a 4 times were

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

imprisoned,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

what happened to them? They were excited in

00:00:34 --> 00:00:34

the jails.

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

And those who jailed them died

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

of stress.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

Imagine. They were happy because

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

they

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

say, I'm happy here. I'm excited. I will

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

make the most of my time here.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

They were happy.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

And those who did harm to them were

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

the ones who were at a loss. They

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

couldn't even sleep at night, yet in the

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

prison these olema were sleeping

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

very well.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

This is just an example I'm giving you

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

to show you that when you wrong someone,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

sometimes that person has greater contentment than you

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

will ever taste

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

at that particular time.
