			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh everyone welcome to Episode 10 moments with the Quran today
we take an ayah from Surah Nisa, Allah subhanho wa Taala says yeah you
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			kulu Amala
		
00:00:15 --> 00:01:03

Rahim Allah Subhana Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala addresses the believers in an ayah that's filled
with so many lessons, especially from my perspective, the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence Allah
This is the believers and in this address, he warns them against taking ownership of the wealth of
other Muslim brothers and sisters without their consent and without their happiness in any way or
form. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Do not kill yourselves, protect your life. Don't put
your lives on the line, right in grave danger in harm's way, in the lower canopy cumbre Hema Indeed
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:45
			Allah subhanho wa Taala to you all, he is perpetually perfectly merciful. So hideaway to Allah and
we see day in and Dr. Hall mercyful Sherry is the laws of Islam. And how these laws no doubt come
from Allah subhanho wa Taala, the Especially Merciful and the Entirely Merciful brothers and sisters
in Islam. Yesterday, we took an ayah from Surah to Bukhara in relation to wealth, and eating halal
Pure Food and earning in a halal pure way. And the concept and we discussed this whole concept of
where the wealth is obtained or ordained, and where the wealth is a blessing or a curse. And today
we continue this discussion in Surah Nisa, in relation to wealth. But here Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:01:45 --> 00:02:24
			teaches us of a way through which we can earn in a haram way and does consume her own food, which is
totally forbidden. Allah tells us that you will earn in a haram way, if you in any way, shape or
form, you serve the wealth of others without right without the consent and happiness. For example,
for example, lying about the cost price. If the other party knew the true cost price, they wouldn't
have been happy, for example, to give over their money, for example, selling a product and lying
about the capabilities of the product just to ensure that the deal goes through, right making
promises that you can't fulfill. Maybe it's a promise to in relation to the warranty of the of the
		
00:02:24 --> 00:03:01
			product that you're selling, and you cannot fulfill that promise. All this is how long brothers and
sisters in Islam, and all this constitutes you. And in the case of the sale going through, it
constitutes you consuming the wealth of your fellow Muslim brother or sister without right without
their consent, because had they known they would have refused, they wouldn't have handed over their
money, they will happily and he has a report that goes back to him in a better audio level in which
I've done my best about the level I do my explains the reason why Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed
this particular ayah. And he mentioned that at the time, people used to have a type of deal whereby
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:17
			they would sell something, for example a soap. And they would say if you like the soap, take it. And
if you don't like it, you can return it. But you must also return a portion of your money along with
your return. So that I'll give you back your money what you paid, but I'm going to keep some right.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:52
			For whatever reason you returning the soap, the condition is you return it and you pay something
with it. Right? Either you pay or I'll take it from the amount that you pay for the soap initially
now brothers and sisters in Islam on, you know, on what grounds can a person do this, right? Because
if I buy and soap and I'm not happy with the job, of course I have a right to return it because I
gave my money, right and I'm not happy now with the money that I spent on the concept of of this
purchase. I want my money back because I'm not happy with the thought but only be happy with what I
gave if I'm happy with what I bought. So how can now the seller Tell me return the job and also pay
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:36
			for the return. So I'd love to kind of reveal this ayah making sure that this practice seizes and
all practice that people can think of there are similarities as well. And also can who Allah is
amazingly clear and eloquent and the Quran is amazingly clear and eloquent our brothers and sisters
in Islam. The last part of diet. In the last part of diet Allah subhanho wa Taala says do not kill
yourself so Han Allah but pay attention to this. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said men
matter do a man he for who is Shaheed whoever dies defending his or her wealth, Allah will give them
the status of your head to Hana Allah, Allah doesn't want you to put your life in grave danger. But
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:59
			if someone is stealing your money, and you you defending your money means you defending it with
yourself. And in the process you pass away to kind of Allah, Allah gives you the status of shad. And
the scholars of Islam have deduced from this heavy that if someone is stealing your wealth and you
defend your wealth and in the process, they are severely harmed or they even pass away, then you are
absolved of any blame or any harm
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			Of course, that you can prove that you are defending your wealth in the process of this person
having died. Understand brothers and sisters in Islam from this how sacred wealth is in Islam Subhan
Allah, how sacred wealth is in Islam. And if we fundraising this Ramadan, be clear also brothers and
sisters in Islam in terms of the message you put up there, don't fundraise in a way doing gymnastics
with us where people think that we're giving our money over because so and so is going to do this
with the money or that with the money and you have other intentions or you haven't been absolutely
honest and true in terms of your messaging that convince people to give you their money. Some people
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:08
			say, you know, they give the impression that it's 100% donor policy, but it's not 100% donor policy.
And this is important to the person who's handing over their money that it must be 100% donor policy
and obviously this is not a sale based transaction, but it applies as well because Allah says do not
you take other people's wealth do not take the believers wealth, without their consent and without
their happiness. had they known that you were doing gymnastics with your words, no doubt, they
wouldn't have given you the money they would have looked for another organization to hand over their
donation to so brothers and sisters in Islam take special care, right? Take special care. We all
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			know some kind of way to Allah bless you all until another moment. ceramah here alikum warahmatu
over again.
