When you talk about the breakdown of family,
how many times is it because someone will
wrong their spouse because their parents told them
to wrong their spouses?
Now, a lot of times the spouse tells
them to wrong their own parents and you
can't ditch your own parents for the sake
of your spouse.
Your parents always have that daraja.
But you also can't let your parents make
you wrong your spouse.
So you have to establish the huqooq, you
have to establish the right of Allah ﷻ.
So Allah is saying be for justice even
if against yourself, even if it's your own
parents and even if it is your own
kinsmen.
SubhanAllah, in a tribal society, you're being taught,
you never resort back to, well, that's my
brother, that's my sister, that's my tribesman.
And so they're always right no matter what.
And I'll actually say this specifically to the
social media warriors.
All right, we have social media tribes, right?
The Muslim Twitter, Muslim Instagram, Muslim Facebook, Muslim
YouTube, Muslim TikTok, and none of it is
very Muslim-ish at all, right?
But you got these cliques that form.
And your guy is always right.
And the guy that you hate is always
wrong, right?
There's no justice.
There's no adl here.
And Allah is telling you establish justice, be
accountable and go back to Allah and the
Messenger ﷺ.
And then your worldview and your world structure
will fall back in a way that is
pleasing to Allah ﷻ and pleasing to you.
