Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh we continue our theme,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:11

Lian key and Salah hikma annual Karim nights of empowerment,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

parables, parables and wisdom from the Glorious Quran.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:23

Allah makes a promissory statement in the Quran when he says a Nila

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

OD or our law, minimum income means reckoning.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:34

Surely Allah will not cause any action of any person, male or

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

female, to be lost, or to be invaded.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

And Allah further corroborates that statement by saying when I'm

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

Allah Saleh Amin decorating a window

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

for the young no higher Tonka yerba are the legacy and know

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

whom, to whom we asked any Maka and

00:00:54 --> 00:00:58

whoever does good, whether male or female, and has faith, according

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

to the best of the deeds.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

Of course, people do good deeds and hamdulillah people do pray,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:11

the fast, they give charity, and do these good acts. But the

00:01:11 --> 00:01:16

problem comes when at times, some people do things that do more harm

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

than good.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

And Allah reminds us of is in the Quran, he says, such people for

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

whom ye saguna and whom you're Shinola to Allah, those who do

00:01:26 --> 00:01:31

something, they assume it could be good, but in actual fact, it may

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

not be as good as they think, or it may not be the right thing to

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

do in the first place.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

It is therefore important to do the right thing with the right

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

intention.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

But it's equally important to realize the consequence of what we

00:01:46 --> 00:01:46

are doing.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

But it's equally important to note that the Rasul also said he

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

documented in the Muslim of Imam Muhammad in humble when he said

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

the Torah Jabu be Amelie, I hadn't had that on guru Bhima Tamela.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

Do not be impressed by any action of anyone until you see the

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

consequence of the action.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:14

Why? Because besides the action being evaluated by the intention,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:19

the value of the action is also to be determined by the consequence,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

but the action eventually leads to

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

so when Allah promises a German accent, to reward people,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

according to the best of the deeds, it has considered what is

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

called the Cobra effect.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

The Cobra effect is a term used in economics, that refers to a

00:02:38 --> 00:02:43

situation when attempted solution to a problem makes the problem

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

worse. An attentive solution to a problem makes the problem actually

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

worse.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:53

This name was coined based on an incident that occurred in colonial

00:02:53 --> 00:02:58

India, where in the area of New Delhi, they were a lot of venomous

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

snakes in a particular area.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

And people are dying due to these snake bites.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

And the government's are hungry law. snakes were killed, there was

00:03:08 --> 00:03:13

a reward, there was a dip in snake bites and instincts in the

00:03:13 --> 00:03:20

facility. However, this led to some serious, unwanted

00:03:20 --> 00:03:25

consequences. Why? Because after a short time, what people realize

00:03:25 --> 00:03:29

they can make money out of this. So some people took snakes, they

00:03:29 --> 00:03:33

eat them in the backyard. And every time they needed money, they

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

would kill a snake. So 10 Snakes can coins. When the government

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

found out about this, they stopped rewarding people for dead snakes.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

Now the snakes were worthless. What the people then did was the

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

snakes were worthless, they went in the surrounding area and let

00:03:49 --> 00:03:54

the snakes go. What happened? They were far more snakes now in the

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

area than ever there was before.

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

You see, the solution to the problem made the situation even

00:04:01 --> 00:04:06

worse, though it was well intentioned, because they did not

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

consider the possible our team the consequence of it, you see, the

00:04:10 --> 00:04:16

unintended consequence, the unintended consequence of a well

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

intentioned idea may lead to the worsening of the problem.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

The problem with many of us is that the lack of attention to

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

fiscal all of the fiscal priorities

00:04:30 --> 00:04:35

we often seek the secondary before paying attention to the primary

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

and to the principal. We try to examine in detail in debate about

00:04:39 --> 00:04:44

the emotion of a few. Realizing without realizing the damage to

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

the money. We act on the emotions of a few without realizing the

00:04:48 --> 00:04:53

damage it may cause them anyway. Let us reflect this. In the

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

Russell's life said Allahu alayhi wa he was a

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

practical example during the mechanism

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

Easily Rosu live 53 years in Makkah, last in using Medina 13

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

years of those 43 years. His mission is.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

The prophets mission was confined in the first 18 years in Makkah to

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

calling people to the cause of Allah to cultivate monotheism

00:05:16 --> 00:05:21

mission, that was the focus. During the second phase of his

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

mission, the Prophet did not Institute prayer fasting is

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

obligated. He did not Institute hygiene, though he was in Makkah

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

the very venue of the heart.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

What better place to start with than being at a place in which not

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

only that he did not allow the Muslims to take up excess and

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

destroy the idols that everyone saw everyday around the Kaaba.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:49

That same karma built by Ibrahim Ali Salaam is the global center of

00:05:49 --> 00:05:53

taurine, not as a masjid not a place of worship only the global

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

center of story. In fact, we worship towards in the direction

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

even when we pray say the primary mission of the lawsuit is Tawheed

00:06:02 --> 00:06:06

in hola hola yo, are you sure can be Nevada County May Allah forgive

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

it anything but shooting the first thing of the lawsuit led me to

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

destroy the idols.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

So why didn't you do it? If your mission history and the antithesis

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

of Tawheed Allah forgives everything but you want to destroy

00:06:20 --> 00:06:25

the idols. You are in Mecca. You are the Aqaba. And you see the

00:06:25 --> 00:06:31

idols. You see, had he destroyed the idols at that time, they would

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

have been tremendous negative consequences. There would have

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

been tremendous bloodshed in Makkah, his message would have

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

been discredited, his entire mission would have been

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

jeopardized. His handful of followers could have been wiped

00:06:44 --> 00:06:44

out,

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

but

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

at the right time,

00:06:50 --> 00:06:56

in the right manner. And in the best way 23 or 30 years later. 13

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

years of suffering in Makkah, says the mount of Makkah, went to

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

Medina, they fought him, they killed his people.

00:07:03 --> 00:07:08

After 10 years in Medina, 23 years after he called them for the first

00:07:08 --> 00:07:12

time, with all the idols in the Kaaba, and everything. 23 years

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

afterwards, he comes back,

00:07:14 --> 00:07:20

he returns from the exile, forgiving his enemies. And this

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

serve as a magnanimous example, of magnificence of prophetic

00:07:24 --> 00:07:29

character, depth of emotional wisdom. They followed his example,

00:07:30 --> 00:07:34

he entered quietly and peacefully, no tree was cut down. No water was

00:07:34 --> 00:07:38

polluted. No age one was humiliated, no house was robbed.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:43

No woman was insulted. It was thus that Mohammed re entered the

00:07:43 --> 00:07:46

latest city of Makkah. And through all the islands of conquest,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

there's no triumphant entry comparable to this one, Professor

00:07:51 --> 00:07:51

Stein leaving

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

23 years after he enters with this kind of dignity, those kind of

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

magnificence of character and the spiritual strength.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

The primary lesson for us in all of us,

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

do the right action.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

for the right reason, in the right men

00:08:12 --> 00:08:17

at the right place, and at the right time, then the Promise of

00:08:17 --> 00:08:21

Allah would let us see and know as you roam the axon in Makkah and

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

ohyama Allah will reward you according to the best of your

00:08:25 --> 00:08:31

deeds. Akula kolyada was toquilla Salam or aleikum wa rahmatullah.
