00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			That there is none worthy for our worship
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			except Allah
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			And I bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			wa sallam is the seal of the prophets
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			and the final messenger
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			to all humanity.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			Today, insha'Allah,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			says in the Quran, we want to show
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			and shower our favor
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			to those who have been abused and oppressed
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:11
			in the land.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			And we made them in territories
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			in the land and leaders.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			And to show the pharaoh
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			and those who supported
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			him in evil
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			the mightiness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			the things that they were afraid of.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			And it is a Sahih Muslim,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			oh my servants, Allah says, oh my servants,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			I have made
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			injustice
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			forbidden for myself. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
			does not abuse anyone and he's not unjust
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			to anyone.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Then Allah says, and I have made it
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			forbidden for you, so don't oppress or abuse
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			one another.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			Abu Musa Al Hashari, it's in Bukhari in
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			Muslim,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will give a
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			grace period
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			to those who are unjust,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			to those who abuse people.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			Even to repent,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			Allah give them more time to make or
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will give more
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			them more time to make more coils around
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			their necks. So when the time comes and
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			Allah pulls
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			the rope, there's no escape for them.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			And this is what they always say,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			So whenever
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			the punishment comes for those who abuse and
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			persecute people,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			they all the first thing they say, oh,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:50
			Allah,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			we haven't lived enough.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			I have been empowered for 42 years.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			This is not enough time for me to
		
00:05:59 --> 00:05:59
			make cover.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			The guy who was terminated yesterday
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			was 10 years in office when I was
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			born in 1977.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			I'm 34 years old.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			The same day I was born, he was
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			almost 10 years in office. But 42 years
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			is not long enough
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			for this person to mend his ways and
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			make tawbah to Allah
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			How much time does it take for you
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			to make tawbah and istifa and mend your
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			ways? A few seconds.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			But they always say, we didn't have enough
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			time to mend our ways.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			And Allah
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			gives the answer in so far, we have
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			given you more time than enough.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			But you wasted it, you ruined
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			it. You spoiled
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			and you, abused the authority we have given
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			you over the people.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:46
			So
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			This is a favor from Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			ta'ala that deserves our gratitude.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			And Allah says, when the evil doers are
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			destroyed, those who abuse
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			and oppress their people,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			They abuse the authority that Allah
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			has given them over the nations, and they
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			abuse them that they are corrupt, or they
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			are destroyed.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			When the time comes, then this is,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			you know, a time for gratitude for Allah
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			Ala'ala that these people are not living anymore.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			The first one is to be unjust to
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:12
			yourself.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			For example, if you worship anyone besides Allah
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			Buddha and all the other
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			items that are taken from worship besides Allah
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, raise and all these
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			items or persons.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in the
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			qaba'a, indeed, associating partners with Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			ta'ala in the in worship is a great
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			injustice.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			Those
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			who make innovations in their religion, this is
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			a great injustice because you deprive yourself of
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			the reward.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			You waste your time doing something that is
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			not approved by the Quran or the sunnah
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			and the end will not get any reward.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			And in the Hadith, in Sahih Muslim
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			narrated by Sad al Sad that on the
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			day of judgement,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			when people rush
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			to the house, the basin of the prophet
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			to take a simple photo in that terrible
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:03
			day,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			the angels will kick them out. And the
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			prophet will say, these are people of my
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09
			Ummah.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			And the angels will say, you don't know
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			what they innovated after you. They made in
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			the religion, so they will be kicked out.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			The person who does not pray, although he
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			or she is able to pray. They don't
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			pray.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			They don't care.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			The person who has the money
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			to give Zakah and they don't give the
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			ayat of Allah and the right to the
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:34
			people. They make bull injustice to themselves because
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			they deprive themselves of the reward.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			The person who is able to fast but
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			doesn't fast. The person who has the money
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			to go for a house but they don't
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:43
			go.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			The person who drink alcohol
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			or they do drugs.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			They smoke weed or marijuana and all that
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			stuff. They destroy their health and their body,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			which is a gift and a trust from
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. They are unjust to
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			themselves.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			Muslim
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			he was very rich. He migrated to the
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			US,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			35 years ago.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			Sometimes, we had to bid him to come
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			to the masjid for rain or to have
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			iftar with us in Ramadan.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			And,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			you know, eventually after a lot of his,
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			you know, persistence from us, insistence, he would
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			come and
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			he would even sit in the back of
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			the Masjid that doesn't pray with us. And
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			I asked him to join him, but he
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			doesn't pray.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			He has a lot of money, masha Allah.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			Allah has given him a lot of money,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			and I asked him I asked him several
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			times to go and make Hajj, and he
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			said, I don't want to.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			So this is injustice to someone's
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			self. Okay?
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			The second type is injustice to other people.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			If someone abuses his authority
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			to take people's rights or devour their money,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			this is injustice to others.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			The person who abuses his wife and children,
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			this is injustice to others. The person who
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			forces his daughter to lie against her will,
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			this is injustice to others.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			The person who gives his inheritance all his
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			money to some of his children and deprive
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			others of the rights in Islam to get
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			a share of inheritance, this is injustice.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			So we have to be aware of these
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			things.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			So the prophet, salawasalam, is talking about this
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			kind of injustice in a hadith narrated by
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			Muslim by Abu Ma'am, collected
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			by Muslim. The prophet, salawasalam, who ask him
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			is asking the Sahaba, do you know who
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			the brogue is?
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			So they said, the brook among us is
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			the person who doesn't have dollars or stealing
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			power.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			They don't have any money in the bank.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			The prophet says no. On the day of
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			judgement, the brook
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			is the person who comes with prayers and
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			fasting and charity and pilgrimage,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			but in the meantime, they have abused people.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			They stole the money of this. They took
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			bribes from this. They oppressed their wife. They
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			oppressed their kids. They abused the people under
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			their authority.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			So the prophet says,
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			all these people who were abused will take
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			from the good deeds
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			of that oppressor.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			And when his good deeds are gone, then
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			Allah would take from the evil deeds of
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			these people oppressed and put on that person
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			a thrown in the hifar. Does
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			So when we look at the times
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			that we have been talking about,
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			they have abused the authority that Allah Subhanahu
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			Wa Ta'ala has given them.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			But in the meantime,
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			some of us, they also abuse the authority
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:55
			that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given them.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:55
			Some of us, they abuse their children, some
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			of us,
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			the people of the people of the people
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			of the people of the world. They also
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			abuse the authority that Allah has given them.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			Some of us, they abuse their children, some
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			abuse their wives, some abuse their husbands,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			some abuse their parents,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			some abuse their employees they have under their
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			authority at work. All this is injustice.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			The rulers,
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			the tires, Allah
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			has given them major authority.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			You, Allah
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			has given you minor authority. If you abuse
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			it, you are just like them.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			So these rulers
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			will come in the day of judgement and
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			Allah will ask them, I have given you
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			authority for 30 years
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			or 42 years or 25 years, like all
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			the guys who have been removed from office
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			in the past few months.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:38
			Some people,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			women and children,
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			were killed.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			You shed their blood. Why?
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			Allah will ask them.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			Some people died in hospitals because they didn't
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			have the money to give medicine.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			Why didn't you provide for them? Why?
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:56
			Some people were thrown in jail for many
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			years for no reason, and they died in
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			jail. Why?
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			Your children were abusing the money of the
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:03
			country.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			Some of them were spending, as they said,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:06
			$2,000,000
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:07
			a month.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			And some people were living and they didn't
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			have even bread
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			to eat. Why?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			The same way, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			ask you about the injustice you have done
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			to your family.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			Your wife was not praying.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:22
			Why?
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			You have authority. Why didn't you stop your
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			wife from this?
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			You abused your children. You did give some
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			of them the characters and you didn't give
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			others. Why?
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			You were unjust to your husband. Why?
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			You were abusing the servants you have in
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			the house or the employees you have at
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			work. Why?
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			So both of them, the tyrants
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			and those, the average people among us, they
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			will be questioned on the day of judgement.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			So the prophet
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			talks about these different types of authorities,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			and he said that the king or the
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			president or the ruler or the manager
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			is accountable for all those under his hand,
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			those who are in his authority. And he
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			will be questioned about them on the day
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:42
			of judgement.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			And the same way, the prophet says
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			that the man in the house is accountable
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			for all those under his authority, and he
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			will be questioned about them on the day
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:52
			of judgement.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			The wife will also be accountable for what
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			she did in the house of her husband.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			So everyone is accountable
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			for everything that is under his or her
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:02
			authority.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:35
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would ask each
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			and every one of us on the day
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			of judgement about the authority
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			that they have given it, that they have
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			given, they've given. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			will judge them whether they have preserved
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			that authority that was given to them or
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			they abused it. That's Allah
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:52
			Subhanahu
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			Wa Ta'ala
