Well, the rest of Allah's creation, they don't
argue. Right?
So the comparison here between humans and the
rest of the creation,
Right?
So it's just that expression. Right?
So because if you think about the rest
of Allah's creation like the Malatika and the
animals and so on and so forth, there's
no argument. Right? Except for the jinn because
the jinn,
they're just like human beings. We mentioned a
few days ago the example of
the animals when Nuh, alaihis salaam, was building
the ark, and he told them to board
the ship. No questions asked. They just boarded
the ship. As for human beings,
well, they had a problem because,
you know, they said, well, you lost your
mind of what? You're building a ship in
the desert.
So the agenda, the ant, and the animals
were safe. Right? Why? Because human beings like
to argue. Right? Why this? Why that? They
just,
take it for granted, and they just, don't
take the advice of the prophets. If you
look at the Quran, there are so many
stories that talk about,
debating and arguing in the Quran,
sometimes in a good way, like in the
story of Ibrahim Qisura with an Amrud,
when,
in the west, and he raises it from
the east. So can you do the opposite?
Can you bring the sun out
from the west? So he lost the argument.
So this is a good argument.
Then
you have some
nonsensical arguments. Right? Like in the story of
Musa Alaihi Surah Al Qaqah, when he told
his people just sacrifice a cow
to know who killed the guy. So they
said, okay. What color of cow? How big?
How small? How how
so they made it difficult for them and
Allah subhanahu wa'ala made it difficult for them
right
we see also
in the story of Musa and the pharaoh
right?
His Surah Tullishaw'ala and other places
so Musa alaihis salaam came to him with
a very simple message. Believe in Allah. Let
my people go.
Then he started to say, okay. Musa lost
his mind. Musa is crazy. Right? What about
the previous nations?
Then he started to talk about totally different
days, right, that have nothing to do
with Dawah, with the message of Musa Al
Aqsa. He just wanted to change the topic.
Then you read
the debate
of shaitan with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala when
you told him to make salatua
a simple
order. Just make salatua
a khalas.
Nothing else.
He said, but what is this? I'm better
than him. You created me from fire. You
created him from mud. Well, this is not
the point. The point here just means that
the and leave us.
Now he started to debate and argue. So
he was cursed till till the end of
time.
And when Allah subhanahu said, well, I'm gonna
give you a chance.
He said, well,
alhami ilayomi rafun, not alhami ilayomi imutun
because Shaitan didn't want to die. So he
said, you Allah,
keep me alive till the day the day
they are resurrected from the dead, not the
day they die and they will die because
he doesn't want to die. Right? So he's
arguing about this as well.
Fast forward to the story of the prophet
and the Quran
and the people of Mecca. Right? He brought
them the message. The first thing is
well you're a poet,
you're a liar, you're a madman, and so
on and so forth.
Well, when they saw people accepting Islam and
the Quran made sense to them, they said
well
there's nothing wrong with the Quran that we
wish it was revealed to a rich man
from Mecca and Atal.
Well, what does this have to do with
the message anyway? So if the book is
good so what is your problem with the
messenger? It doesn't matter if he's rich or
poor. Right?
Then they said, okay. We need America. Right?
We need the moon to split.
Then we need,
river to gash forth.
We need you to turn the mountains in
Mecca into Gaul. All these things. Right? So
when the prophet
started to give them miracles, they said, you
know what?
We want Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to drop
the sky on us and kill us immediately
and if this happens we will believe.
Well, you will be dead then. Right? If
it comes down from heaven and you die
then what is the point? Right? So we
see all these arguments all the time. So
what is the point is
a lot of us do exactly the same
thing. We we like to argue.
Yes, I'm a Muslim,
but I don't pray.
Why? Because I don't have time. Right? Well,
this is your only job on earth.
Allah
created you only for this reason, nothing else.
If you work, if you're saying, Alhamdulillah, this
is extra, but your main job in the
world is to worship Allah
Yes.
I know that,
selling Haram stuff is Haram, but I still
I'm still gonna do it. Why? Because, well,
I sell it to non Muslims.
This is the most common argument. Right? I'm
selling it to non Muslims so it should
be halal. Right?
And these are the same people who come
later to complain
that their kids in high school are dating
non Muslim girls and you asked them. Okay,
they tell
you dating Muslim girls is ham, but dating
non Muslim girls is okay. Why?
Because my dad says it's not okay to
sell pork to Muslims, but it's okay to
sell it to non Muslims.
So this is the whole point. If Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala makes something haram, so it's
haram whether you do it with a Muslim
or non Muslim. So there's no point in
arguing in this case. We hear a lot.
I receive a lot of, you know, counseling
and and stuff. I do counseling
and you said in front of the husband
and the wife, they argue for hours. I
didn't do it. He did it. I didn't
do it. He did it. And this is
why we're not so able to solve problems.
You see arguments and debates on Facebook for
examples.
Some guy will post something about 1 Muslim
group and he is cussing and cursing at
them their kuffar whatever and you see someone
from the other group discussing and cursing at
them and subhanAllah both of them are using
Quran
to justify their position
and all the other Kufa because what happens
is for you to make a good argument
you have to take things out of context
from the Quran to justify your Quran. This
has always been the case like
the guy his wife was bugging him
I'll conclude with this inshallah for a long
time she wanted to do the Hajj, right?
And he told her there's no Hajj for
women in the Quran, Hajj in the Quran
is only for men.
She says, where is this? He says,
He doesn't say men, he says Rijal. And
he he made a mistake actually. The word
Rijal doesn't mean men in the Ayah, It
means on foot.
Rijal.
Right?
So the point is
there's no point behind arguing in the prophet
that says,
The prophet
says, I guarantee,
a house or a mansion in Jannah for
those who avoid debating and arguing even if
they have the truth on their side. Don't
argue. Don't debate. Unless someone pushes and abate
on you, then you have to answer from
the Quran or the Sunnah as long as
you are saying the right thing.
But to argue and make a point,
for for nonsense and for, falsehood,
this is what is not acceptable in Islam.
So the question from last night was
the we spoke before about the biggest number
in the Quran, and that is a 100,000.
1 6th,
1 8th, 2.
The smallest number in the Quran in Earth,
1 10th.
1 8th. 1 10th, actually. And the winner
is, sister. Sir, you want to take the
product and hear what happens?
Sir,
