Allah is not wrong people in the least
whatsoever,
but they are the ones who wrong themselves.
There was a professor
who was talking to his students and he
is a communist. Right?
And he said
that good doesn't exist.
And he said that Allah didn't do or
God didn't do a good job because there's
no good in this world.
So a young child who was 5 years
old or 6 years old stood up and
said,
professor,
does cold exist?
He said, yes. He said, no. According to
the laws of physics, there's no cold.
But there's the absence of heat, this is
what creates cold.
And he said, there's no such thing as
darkness, but the absence of light creates
darkness. Right? And he says, there's goodness and
the absence of goodness in our hearts and
in our lives, in our actions, this is
what creates injustices.
This child
was
Einstein. Right? So this is story from his
childhood.
So we're gonna talk about justice and injustice.
That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not wrong
us in any way. If you do it
bad, it will give you the reward.
If you plan to do something, you don't
do it, he will give you one reward.
If you do it, you will get terribores.
If you plan to do something evil, you
don't do it, you will get a reward.
If you do it, you will get one
sayyah, one evil deed. Right?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did His best.
He created us as He said in Surat
Anakkul Allahu
It is Allah
who created you, He brought you out of
the moons of your mothers
while you know nothing
and he gave you hearing and sight and
intellect,
but you hardly give any thanks.
So all of us came to this dunya
with equal opportunities.
So Mussolini,
Hitler, George Bush,
Miley Cyrus,
Lady Gaga,
the other god, what is his name?
Justin Bieber. Yeah. All of them came to
this world
with an even opportunity to become become good
people. And I believe Hitler and Mussolini and
all the entrepreneurs and all the tyrants of
our time were all innocent
when they were 4 years old.
So what happened? Why did they be why
did they become so evil? Right? It's because
of their choices, the choices they made in
their life. Allah didn't wrong them, he gave
them good opportunities,
but they chose to do wrong. Right?
Then Allah
gave them the fitrah to choose what is
right,
this pure nature of believing in Allah and
doing what is good. Right? And this is
what Islam is all about, to believe in
Allah, to do good. Nir alayinaamin Muhammad saha
this is what Islam is all about he
sent prophets and he sent the books
right and he gave us hidayah
and he gave us long lives 50 60
70 years And what we do at the
end, we say, you Allah, we didn't live
long enough. 60 years, 70 years were not
long enough for us to make that. How
long does it take you to to say,
you Allah forgive me? 4 or 5 seconds?
But some people live 70 80 years and
they don't have time to even say Allah
forgive me. Right? So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
did his part.
He gave us all these opportunities. He gave
us all all these abilities.
He gave us good times and good opportunities
to get close to him. Like the month
of Ramadan, like Laylatul Qadr, like your parents,
you can use them as your means to
Jannah. We all know the hadith of the
prophet
when he ascended the
and they don't get their sins forgiven in
the month of Ramadan, they are losers. So
I said, I mean
and he said, if someone
witnesses his parents, so his parents or while
them live or lives during his lifetime, then
he or she does not or their parents
do not become their means to Jannah, they
are losers. So I said, ameen.
Then he said, if someone hears your name,
you know, Mohammed, and doesn't say alayhis salaam
al salam, he's a loser. So I said
ameen. Right? So all the ibnats, how many
Muslims
pray?
Right?
There's 1,600,000,000
Muslims. How how many of them pray? Right?
I don't know the statistics, maybe 10%
less or more on Allah.
How many Muslims who have money give the
Zakat? Right? 2.5%.
And all the Muslim countries that have oil,
they have to give 20% on that oil.
Imagine if all the Muslim countries, the oil
rich countries, they give 20% to the poor,
well, like, no poor person will be left
in this whole planet.
Most of them are non Muslim. We're talking
about 1,000,000,000 of dollars. How many Muslims pass
in the month of Ramadan?
How many Muslims have the financial and the
physical ability and they still don't go for
the Hajj? I mean, so many people. Oh,
we don't feel like doing Hajj this year.
Right? So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives them
all these opportunities and they just waste it
and they don't do their best.
What is even worse
is that some people they do their best
in Ramadan, they do Hidayah and
salatawiyyah,
fasting for 17 hours, standing for 2, 3
hours in salaat al Tanawiyyah or tahajjud
and sakas, all these do they bada, then
you lose Hasanal the easy way.
Right?
So we should feel sorry for this person.
The example that I always give is just
like someone
that took a month to build a beautiful
house with a garden, front yard, and the
fence, flowers,
everything,
Then after the month is over,
the house looks its best,
then he demolishes the house, he levels it
to the ground. This is basically
what we do after Ramadan.
I like this hadith
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in this hadith,
oh my servants, on the day of judgment
you will get your book. If you see
something good, it is from Allah because He
made it easy for you to do good.
But if you find something wrong,
then the only person you should blame is
who?
You. So we ask Allah
to make it easy for us to go
Ibadah
and to accept our Ibadah and help us
preserve these Ibadah after the month of Ruflah.
The question for last night
was,
why is there a word for reading Surah
Al Kahf on the day of Jum'ah? And,
of course, there are several authentic hadith. And
one of them, whoever is like Surah al
Kahf on the day of Jummah, then a
light will shine, for them from this Jummah
till the next one with 3 days extra.
Because if you don't,
you'll get
turn 1, and the winner is brother,
Hassan. You said me?
Oh,
the next question is very easy.
The Quran was revealed to the throne of
Hasidim in Mecca in Medina. How long
