Mufti Menk – True Justice Will Definetly Come

So in this world, you may not receive

true justice. You may not.

Do you really think that Allah, the Lord

of the worlds,

will let someone go when they have wronged

you?

I tell you what.

One of the ways of achieving amazing contentment,

it's not easy,

but it's a fact,

is to let go. Oh Allah, those who

harmed me, I forgive them. Them. Oh Allah,

those who wronged me, I forgive them. Oh

Allah, those who have taken my things, I

forgive them. Oh Allah, those who have been

jealous, I forgive them. Those who have spread

rumor, I forgive them. All of them try

it out.

You arrive at a new level of contentment

because Allah says,

Forgive and embrace. Wouldn't you like Allah to

forgive you? Well, if you release, Allah will

release you. So if Allah has released you,

where are you going to end up in

paradise? It's not easy because you need justice.

You're a human. You want to fix a

guy. Today, road rage is such that a

guy who just cuts slightly into you because

you were discourteous and you didn't even let

them in. And they desperately wanted to get

to the other side of the road and

they cut in. You get so angry that

you pull out a gun on the guy.

That's what's happening in South Africa. Agreed or

not, you get so upset they haven't even

wronged you. That's the fact of life. They're

just driving and they're thinking of how to

do something And you get so rage that

it's actually called road rage. And it's a

disease and a sickness. And you get angry

and you cannot release a guy who came

in front of you, how is Allah going

to release you?

That's the question.

What you did was far worse, man. So

Allah says release it, man. Just let it

go. It's okay. Fine.

This verse, Allah says Allah is Most Forgiving,

Most Merciful was actually revealed for Abu Bakr

as Sadiq

when he made a promise after his daughter,

our mother Aisha radiallahu anhu was accused.

He said, I'm never going to spend on

this guy who's spreading the rumor. I used

to give him money. He's a relative of

mine. No appreciation.

Look at him spreading rumor. Look at him

going around talking.

Whatever nonsense he is, I don't want to

have anything to do with this guy.

And Allah says, no, good people don't do

that.

Good people don't do that. So immediately Abu

Bakr as Siddiq radiAllahu anhu said, you know

what?

I will break my oath and I'm going

to spend on him again and I'll make

the peace.

Are you ready?

Are you ready to make peace with your

brother?

Are you ready to make peace with your

sister, with your uncle, your aunt, your nephew,

your child, your parent? Are you ready?

Allah is telling you, if you're ready, I'm

ready to give you a paradise.

It's not going to be easy. You might

have to let go of some money. Mainly

fights and arguments are about what?

About something you didn't come with and you're

not going to go back with. That's what

you're fighting about. You thought of that.

Mostly the fights in this world are about

something you didn't come with

and you're not going to go back with.

But But while you're here, you're arguing, fighting,

punching, doing whatever, about what? That thing you're

gonna leave it, man. You're gonna go just

now. Let's release it, man. What do you

want here? Allah saying, I'm watching.
