Mustafa Khattab – Taraweeh Gems 25 Badman

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
