Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 25 Earning Halal Ramadan 2012

So risk is not only money.

This could be your wife or your husband,

or your children.

Money,

car, house, job, education,

the good looks, anything you have and enjoy

in this life is part of your business.

Distributed him his riz among his creation in

an even way.

So he has given us, like, husbands and

wives and children and jobs and education and

everything.

And sometimes, Allah

will keep

some part of the risk missing.

Like, for example, if you are married, you

have a good job, good education, good payment,

no kids. So you will say, oh, Allah,

give me kids.

Then if you are

if you are married, you have a wife,

and maybe you don't have a job.

If you have a job, good education,

good payment,

no wife. So something is missing, so we

always turn to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and

say, oh Allah give me this, oh Allah

give me this. Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

He created us,

He knows us more than we know ourselves.

If we have our everything in our hands,

we always turn our backs to Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala.

Most people, they're rebir by Allah,

and they turn back to Him if they

go to the hospital for a surgery,

if they go to jail,

if they have an accident. Now they turn

to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Allah says it in the Qur'an. When I

show all my favorites

on human beings,

they turn their backs to me. But if

something bad happens to them, they always come

back to me with lengthy supplications

and dua. So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows.

So the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam explained

this in a beautiful hadith in Sayyid Al

Jannah,

and he says,

anything that brings you closer to Jannah, I

ordered you to do. And anything that brings

you closer to the hellfire, I warned you

against.

Jibreel, a s salam, revealed to me that

no one will ever die before they take

the risk in complete.

Nothing is missing from your risk as when

you die, then you took all your risk.

You will leave nothing behind.

Then if you want to get the risk

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, then ask for

it

in a good way and don't get the

risk of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in a

crooked way. Don't steal it because it's coming

to you.

You're sitting somewhere, you're sleeping somewhere they steal

your keys and they take your car and

all that stuff.

It's not good in the eyes of Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. If it's not good some

people they go, believe me. Some people buy

tickets,

get a visa, and they go to the

Haram in Mecca to steal. They don't go

for Hajar Oma, they go to steal. Can

you imagine?

You go to the house of Allah, not

any house.

The big one, the number one to steal

from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala from house. Why

what do you say about this?

Imam Ali, radiAllahu anhu. He went to the

Masjid with his servant to pray.

So he lift his horse outside with a

nice saddle,

sash.

So as he was entering the Masjid, he

saw a man sitting in front of the

Masjid. So the man said, you know what?

I will keep an eye on the horse.

Go pray and come back.

So Imam Ali and his servant, they're praying,

and they came back. And Imam Ali was

thinking, okay. This is a good guy. I'm

gonna give him to, Dirham Ali $20 for

his service, for keeping an eye on my

horse and my saddle and everything. He came

out.

The horse was there, the saddle of the

horse was gone,

and the man nowhere to be found. He

stole the saddle and he ran away.

Imam Ali sent his servant to buy a

saddle for the horse. So he went to

the market and sure enough he found a

man standing in the market, and he is

the only one selling a saddle for $20.

So he gave him the $20, he took

his saddle back. So Allah was sending him

the $20 in halal way, and he took

it in halal way, and he took the

sin.
