Mufti Menk – WARNING to those who HARM others

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu
		

			Bismillah he will hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He was heavy mine,
		

			my brothers and sisters,
		

			across the globe there are good people and there are bad people. And Allah Almighty knows that each
one of us is supposed to be trying to be a good person if he or she is concerned about the day that
he or she will be meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala. For this reason the detail given in the
Hadith of the prophets are seldom goes as far as saying mankind or you may know Billa he will Yomi
Arkady familia kohan Alia smut, whoever truly believes in Allah, and truly believes in the last day
should either say that which is beneficial or remain silent. What is meant by believing in the last
day, it means you believe someone is going to take account of your deeds, someone is going to hold
		

			you responsible for what you've done.
		

			And that is what differentiates a believer from the one who is not. We ask Allah Almighty to grant
us true conviction and a true sense of belief, because it will improve us as human beings. When
there is a person on the street who feels that I have no one to answer to he or she will do what he
wants begin to oppress begin to do wrong, they start thinking that no one can stop me. I know
everyone or I am the boss or I am the one in authority and they do what they want. Not realizing
that Allah will catch up with them. Allah knows what they're doing. Allah is allowing them a time,
Leah Cobra, Yama, who
		

			can ama Fola, in order for that which is meant to come to pass, to come to pass. Allah wants to test
us some will pass the test, some will fail the test. The question is, where do you fit in? Where do
I fit in? You believe in Allah. And you believe in the day of reckoning, you won't harm others, you
won't swear them, you won't backbite them. And on top of that, more important than all of that you
will worship Allah alone. You will worship Allah in a way that you know, when you go back to him,
you have something to present to Allah. When a person sins, if he is a believer, he will sin in
private and he will be ashamed of his sin. That's a sign that you have a man you have belief, and
		

			thereafter he will seek forgiveness from Allah. Oh ALLAH forgive me. I'm a human. Human Nature made
me sin. I faltered, I was wrong. I want you to forgive me and still grant me Jana. That's a sign of
a man. It's a sign that you believe in Allah. But if you have a person who doesn't mind, they really
don't even think about the sin, the sin and they continue to sin, nothing stops them. It doesn't
embarrass them, they do it openly. They encourage others to sin, then we're asking for trouble. This
is what Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us through the blessed lips of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
sallam, he says, people will continue to remain in goodness for as long as they do not openly commit
		

			sin and encourage it with one another.
		

			If the sun is a human weakness, and you committed it and you sought the forgiveness of Allah, isn't
it a sign that you know, one day I'm going to go back to Allah when my eyes closed? I'm going back
to Allah Do you know those who fear death so much? Actually, those who don't believe in the mercy of
Allah, because Death is inevitable, it will overtake you and I it has to come. Don't be frightened
of it, you are going to a better place. Did you not seek the forgiveness of Allah? Let me give you
one beautiful example. You see, I started off by saying there is good and bad. They are tyrants and
they are good people who are upright and just they are oppressors. And they are those who stand firm
		

			upon justice come what may even if it is against themselves or their folks.
		

			One of the worst of the lot from the beginning of time to now was a man known as the Pharaoh. It is
said perhaps that was Ramses the second.
		

			This Pharaoh was so dangerous. He felt he was the Lord. He used to tell his people, oh my people,
not just the ordinary ones, the cronies from amongst them. In the Arabic language. The term used is
El mela mela, the top people, the officials. What Allah
		

			Allah Allah Allah, Allah
		

			Allah, wa et
		

			Iran said to his cronies, oh, my cronies. I don't know of any other God besides me for you guys to
worship La hawla wala quwata illa Billah what type of arrogance, and he knew he was a human. He also
had stomach problems now and again, may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant His goodness. But this was the
hierarchy that he decided to create, because of invite an environment that continued over
generations, when something continues to happen for more than a generation, the new generation
considers it the norm, and they start thinking that's how it's supposed to be. This is why Islam
teaches you to question your faith. When you know that there is something wrong here or you're
		

			feeling there's something wrong, you question it in order to find the answer. That is correct. This
is how people will come on the right path. Don't be afraid Islam has the answers. And this is why
when people don't know when you ask them, Why do I have to pray five times a day? Hey, keep quiet.
You can't ask that question. No, I'm not asking because I don't want to pray. I'm going to pray. I
just want to know what's the answer.
		

			So the children ask all sorts of questions. Why do we have to eat halal? They are not asking because
they don't want to eat halal. They are asking because they want to know don't stop them and rebuke
them because if you haven't answered them, they will probably dilly dally and fall astray. May Allah
subhanahu wa taala grant us steadfastness. The children of today are very creative in what they ask
as well. And don't ever rebuke them. You ask? Allah provides the answers, you will get the answers.
So this Pharaoh he started
		

			convincing people that he was the Lord they worshipped him. Musa alayhis salam was sent by Allah the
Prophet Moses May peace be upon him with his brother Harun May peace be upon them.
		

			They were frightened, initially frightened in the sense that they were concerned perhaps the pharaoh
is not going to respond to us favorably. Allah says go in any man Akuma Asma wa I am with you, I
hear and I will see and I will defend and I will help. Allah is saying, Don't worry, you go, they
went, where were they going?
		

			They were going to the worst of the time and they were the best of the time. Allah tells them speak
softly, speak calmly, don't shout, scream, yell and use abusive language. I'm talking to you today.
Imagine we are supposed to be believers, all of us. Insha Allah May Allah grant us the man grant
agenda all of us.
		

			If I were to scream, yell and abuse you imagine Allah has asked someone way better than me not to
abuse someone way worse than anyone that could be in front of me.
		

			Why should I be allowed to do that? When you call someone towards Allah, you have to use soft words,
you have to use a beautiful method, otherwise, they're going to go further away from Allah.
		

			But the point I wanted to raise is something very interesting. After that, the Pharaoh and I'm
jumping a little bit to get to my point. The Pharaoh says, You know what? You've come to me with
these signs. I will get people who can come with the same science and he got hold of the magicians
according to some narrations. They were 1000s of them.
		

			They came these magicians came, what were they? They were people who worshipped the Pharaoh. They
knew a bit of magic. They were masters, he brought them from all the different towns and cities
Come, let's come gather together. And so what happened is when they all gathered together, and they
threw their sticks and their ropes and people could see these snakes that were created as a result
of an illusion. Do you know what happened?
		

			musala is alayhis salam was told to
		

			lay your stick down. As he laid it. What happened? Huge serpent, a real one.
		

			swallowed up whatever those people had made. This disappeared from a they were shocked because these
are masters in magic. They said this is not magic. What happened? For oltenia Sahaba to Sir Jean
Paul. Oh, man.
		

			I mean, immediately those magicians fell prostrate to Allah. What did they say? We believe in the
Lord of the worlds. Now if Iran used to call himself the Lord of the worlds in order to clarify that
they added another statement after that to say Robbie Moosa,
		

			the Lord of Moosa and Harun Moses and Aaron May peace be upon them not this other one here, this
cheap chap that is here, not him. frown immediately got up and today, now oka Tina.
		

			Allah also neighbor nakum Ajay mine, I'm going to crucify you all of you. Listen carefully. He
threatened them in our lives. We are also threatened by people who are lesser and cheaper than the
Pharaoh. We are threatened. Don't be threatened by cheap things here and there. Don't worry. Take it
in your stride. Allah is there, he will grant you the victory.
		

			Guess what happened around says, I'm going to sought you out. I'll fix you. I'll show you. I'm going
to execute you. I'll chop of your hands and your feet and your legs. I'm going to show you what I'm
going to do. Do you know what they said? They said Subhana Allah law by No problem, do what you
want. loudly, no problem. Do what you want. You know why? Because you have a say on Earth. A small
say.
		

			You will never get away in the hereafter we are going to go to Jenna
		

			Subhan Allah, Allah Almighty granted those magicians who were subsequently executed paradise.
		

			What did they do? They did two things.
		

			They stood firm in belief for the sake of Allah and they made one such day in their lives. Did you
hear that? They stood firm in belief for the sake of Allah. And they did one prostration for the
sake of Allah. After that. They were granted. Jenna, I asked you a question. And this was the point
I was raising. How many sujood? Have you done in your life for the sake of Allah? How many times
have you shed warm tears? For the sake of Allah? How much have you tried? How many times have you
sinned and come back because of none other than Allah? How many times have you actually said, Oh,
Allah, help me guide me, strengthen me? How many times have you turned to Allah sincerely, so many
		

			times, don't lose hope in the mercy of Allah. Don't let that stop until the end. If you breathe your
last and you still moved on that same straight path, good news to you. But if you didn't, a great
loss, as for the oppressors of this earth, they are not going to achieve anything, they will
continue to try, they will continue to threaten, they might have the temporary joy of succeeding in
some of what they may have threatened by fulfilling a portion of it No problem. Be strong. Look at
those magicians. They told the pharaoh law by No problem, do what you like, it's okay. You You can
only hurt us here in this world. Watch what's going to happen forever and ever. My brothers, my
		

			sisters, if we've been hurt by people, pray for them. Pray for their mercy. Pray that Allah guide
them.
		

			And pray that Allah protect you from their harm in whatever way he wishes. If he wishes to take them
away, so be it. If he wishes to keep them, so be it. Pray for protection and don't lose hope in the
mercy of Allah. Because what's wrong is happening across the globe. People say pray for China, pray
for Afghanistan, pray for Pakistan, pray for Sudan. Pray for the list is endless. My brothers and
sisters, no matter where you go, people are struggling and suffering pray for South Africa. Subhan
Allah, we have to pray to Allah for all of us, for everyone for humanity at large. And we have to
continue to spread the good word of the deen of Allah. If someone were to engage in a single
		

			prostration truly for the sake of Allah through an effort that Allah allowed you to make, trust me,
it is a beautiful point of success. May Allah grant us all goodness and success, may we never lose
hope, no matter what has come in our direction. This world is all about tests, the evil will
continue with their evil until Allah wills and the good will continue with the good until Allah
wills. The difficulty is sometimes in the middle there are those who sway and they don't realize
that don't become evil with the evil but rather, if you are evil, become good with the good. May
Allah Almighty grant us every form of goodness. The reason why I say this is because we are
		

			struggling on Earth from all angles. And the only way to come out of it is to go back to Revelation.
Look at what Allah has said check the examples. Take a look at what he taught. Allah did not make
mention of the stories of the previous prophets just for you to enjoy. before bedtime, no, he he has
placed them in Revelation for us to learn lesson for our own lives. In order for us to come up and
to say this happened that happened and this was the result of it. No problem. Allah will look after
me have that yaqeen and conviction. May Allah bless us and strengthen us whenever something happens
to us. Take it in your stride. Some people say I'm going to leave I'm going to go somewhere else.
		

			When you go somewhere else there will be a new type of a problem perhaps you might not be able to
manage that one. If you can manage this one, say Alhamdulillah Oh Allah. If this is my test, I thank
you for it because this one I can manage it. Don't test me with another one luck.
