Mustafa Khattab – Taraweeh Gems 16 Thou Shall Not Argue

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,
