We will continue our theme layout at Timken I'm Salma Hayek Muhammad
Al Quran Al Karim
faith or Iman is constantly linked with action in the Quran, and in
the Islamic traditions. And therefore the notion of amanu
aminu Salah had faith manifested in positive good beneficial action
EMA and Amal faith and action.
In fact action is the first practical step to any achievement
to any accomplishment to any success. And the Quran VA for
exhorts us to action. Well, Kalia, Emmylou fossa Allahu Allah, Allah
Kumara, Sulu, who will be known as the torah Duna Illa. Allah Mila
baby was shahada for Unit B Bhima Kontum, Cameroon, and say unto the
people or prophets
act, and Allah will behold your actions, and so will the apostle
and the believers, and know that eventually everyone will be
brought before Allah, Allah who knows all that which is beyond
human perception, as well as all that can be witnessed.
And He, Allah will then inform you, of your deeds and your
actions.
This verse is an expressed motivation for action into action,
but action with accountability. And we know that effective action
springs from a sense of responsibility.
And the root of Being responsible is our moral awareness, more
awareness of our personal accountability
by accepting responsibility for our life, we do what needs to be
done. And therefore you'll find this is manifested throughout the
life of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa, he was still to give a
mundane example.
Example In ordinary day life, once he also said Allah, Allah was
cinnamon, some of his companions, may Allah be pleased with them,
they want to journey and they came to rest at a particular place. And
because they were hungry and decided they were long journey,
resting, they would slaughter a sheep or a goat
or lamb
and have dinner and therefore they all agreed and each one said they
will do something some volunteers call a nodule, Allah you
are called alpha, alpha yourself who are called aka Alpha. Each one
volunteered. I'll cut it. The other one said I will roast it,
whatever it may be crooked. Each one volunteered to do something.
And then they also said Allahu alayhi wa early was sending them
said, I lay your jungle hottub then I'll go collect the wood. And
then the Sahaba Ya Rasulullah netfit Carmen, it's okay. We will
do it. We can handle it. And they also said Allahu Allah was in them
said, Caja Alim to tech funI Wallach, in Accra who anathema?
Yes. Alikum. We're in Allah here. Crimean Abdullahi, we're in Allah
Yecla, who may not be a Euro who would have even been us hobby. The
Prophet said, I know that you are eager to do it all by yourself.
But Allah isn't pleased with a person distinguishing himself over
his own companions. And considering that he gets
preferential treatment over them, that they do the work and he
doesn't have to do it.
The Prophet said Allah Allah was limited in the Hadith, parmesan
Allah Allah azza wa jal, Jamal, he got up. And then he went, and he
collected the wood and he brought it
when you need to do what needs to be done, or when you do what needs
to be done, you give new meaning to your life and to your
existence. I repeat, when you do what needs to be done, you give
new meaning to your existence. And by doing that, you may inspire
other people to action. Look at the result or looking at your
brother, look at the conduct wherever he was, he did things
that inspired them in those crucial times to action.
Here's a simple, humorous story and I beg your indulgence, but
it's a meaningful story. About four people named everybody,
somebody, anybody and nobody.
There was an important job to be done, they said
and everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody
could have done it, but nobody did it. It ended up that everybody
thought and
lain somebody, when nobody did what anybody could have done.
The story may seem a bit amusing, but also puzzling. But the message
is very clear. No one took responsibility. So nothing got
done.
It's a story that plays out very often in institutions, in
organizations, in companies, in teams, and even in homes, anywhere
where there is a lack of culture of accountability, and a lack of
responsibility, someone will do it.
Blaming others we see is often an excuse to transfer accountability.
Because if you didn't do it, find some fault with someone else. So
blaming others is often an excuse to transfer your accountability,
rather than taking responsibility. And therefore, by doing so, you
comfortably avoid liability. Don't blame me. I had nothing to do with
it. But it's why it never got done, because everyone had the
same attitude.
You see, it takes courage of conviction, acute awareness of our
responsibility, as well as mature judgment, to appreciate the real
value of important actions.
If an action is you do it. A very famous hadith of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam documented in Bukhari, and in the
Muslim of Imam Muhammad, the humble way the suicide Allahu
alayhi wa sallam reported to have said, in common, either your
haidakhan milk or Yama, we fear the fussy, rotten failures, Lisa,
even if the trumpet blows on the day of piano, and you have a seed
or a sapling in your hand, and you supposed to planted planted, don't
say it's Tiama if you're supposed to do something, do it because
it's your job to do it. Whether Tiama is here or not, it indicates
a very severe way. Kiama Why would you plant a tree? No, you were
tasked to do it, do it. You said if you have in your hand will fear
the vasila failure of Lisa implanted. In other words, we have
no excuse not to do what needs to be done.
We really need to move in today's time. From the mediocrity of
making excuses to finding solutions from blaming everyone
else to analyzing ourselves from making near promises to fulfilling
commitments from letting things happen to making things happen.
You see the university the famous Sufi he said in Allahu Allah
He said a nurse who couldn't who Mota in the Lord
when Allah Colonia in the army loon for the Army Lulu Lomita
Haroon in la mala, see, all human beings is saying metaphorically Of
course, even human beings are dead in general, except those who have
knowledge
and all those who have knowledge are asleep,
except those who do good deeds, and all those who do good deeds
are deceived, except those who are sincere.
Let us ponder on the following one,
do what needs to be done, do it properly, do it promptly. And do
it sincerely to be accountable and responsible regarding your duties?
If each one does what he should do, much can get done. And
thirdly, if you do not do what needs to be done, what exactly are
you doing? A cool call Jada was stuffing Allah wa salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah.
