Sajid Ahmed Umar – Ramadan 2019 – Ep. 14

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Bismillah salat wa salam ala rasulillah who Allah alayhi wa
sahbihi wa Manuela Welcome everyone to Episode 14 of our Ramadan reminders and today I take you to
sort of output I am number 43 so that we can discuss another principle from the principles of life
as taught to us by Allah subhanho wa Taala in his book and that's what we have been doing every
episode right we can actually effectively say that today is Principle number 14. Allah subhanho wa
Taala says in his book in the surah in a number 43 of our voila Hakuna macusa you will be le Allah
subhanho wa Taala Allah says, but the evil plot does not encompass except its own people. Allah
		

			subhanho wa Taala says this in the context of a larger verse, which you can
		

			revise as
		

			you look over the reference that I've shared to you, and this should be the aim of our lessons
together that these lessons also inspire, inspire you all to go back to the Quran, and look more
deeper into into the ayah or the portion of the ayah discussed and look at the surrounding it and
use it as a means of increasing one's understanding of the Quran. here Allah subhanho wa Taala says
that whenever someone plots evil, then that evil is not going to harm except the person who is doing
the plotting. Right. And
		

			this is a sinner from the Sunnah of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah teaches us that this is a
universal law, a principle from the principles of life that will ever plot someone else's downfall,
the downfall they are plotting will only eventually affect them and afflict them. That is what will
happen. And we have many examples of this in the Quran.
		

			We spoke about Sudoku castles in the story of Moosa in yesterday's episode, and we see what happened
to him around one year he was killing the boys that were born. And then the other year he was
letting them live. And the only reason why he let them live so you could have enough slave boys to
look after the needs of the coptics. Right so that your own didn't tap into the coptics and take
from them rather than your own in the complex could use the children of
		

			Israel for their work, right? If he was killing all the boys year in year out there be no one left.
And this was a plot. And why was he doing the killing anyway? Well, because he was told that someone
from Israel is going to overthrow you and he felt that he is Allah and no one will overthrow him.
And he is not accountable to anyone. Thus he brought it in the land does Allah subhanho wa Taala
tells us and his plotting only caused him to be annihilated and he drowned. So when a lion died a
painful death there's other stories in the Quran, such as we have in the story of use of Allah His
Salaam, in fact, we have two instances in the in the story of use of Allah he set up. The first
		

			instance is when the brothers plotted and took us out of his home and threw him into the well. At
the end, it only fell back on them because useeffect, you know, ended up being the Minister of Egypt
and they had to seek forgiveness from him.
		

			Also the minister's wife in the story of use of it, he said he locked him in a room, right to do
evil with him. And he tried to refrain, he did everything in his capacity. At the end, she laid
blame on him. And
		

			the evil prod fell on her why, because it was noticed that his shirt was taller at the back, which
means he was trying to run away from her and she was latching on to him. So she was the guilty
party. And she was lying, in fact, is the third instance. Because again, after that, this minister's
wife brought all the women of Egypt into her palace and or her chosen people and brought us out so
they could all see him. And at the end, they all had inclinations towards him and he refused. And
because he refused, he was put into into jail because these were the two options he was given do the
horombo go to prison, so they plotted against him and threw an innocent soul into prison. At the
		

			end, what happens? At the end, the king of Egypt calls for use have to come out. And the king of
Egypt then asks the women of the city what happened, and then they announced the innocence of Yusuf
Alayhi Salam Subhana Allah the evil plot only fell back on them and afflicted them. And like this,
we say in the Arabic language, hello Majora like this, you will find example after example, after
example, because the son of Allah subhanho wa Taala can never ever be changed, can never change the
son of Allah subhanho wa Taala his principles can never ever be changed. He created us he created
this life and he has set the boundaries he has set the laws he has set the regulations, the macro
		

			regulations, the micro regulations, it is what it is. And if Allah says that this is how life is and
this is how
		

			or this is a principle from the principles of life
		

			No one should ever feel they're going to beat it. No one should ever pluck the downfall of anyone
else, thinking that they will succeed at the end, they will only harm them selves, they will only
		

			suffer as a result of it. And, you know, we've come across mentions of people in history who, who
who had who are tyrants on earth and spread all sorts of injustices and how they died, and evil
death and that was before they got into the grave and face the punishment of the grave as we know
they will face the punishment of the grave. And then that is even before they face the standing in
front of Allah subhanho wa Taala on the day of pm and the fire of Jana, right? Look at the people at
the Battle of of better those who are plotting against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
at the top of them Abuja, plotting and plotting, plotting and plotting Subhan Allah, and how was his
		

			end, it was an evil, and indeed him and all those who were at the forefront of
		

			plotting against the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam and the Muslims, so never ever
		

			take this route brothers and sisters in Islam, sometimes we do this, you know, without realizing and
what do we do, we character assassinate, and this cat, you know, character assassination is a means
of leading someone's downfall, we have an issue with someone and then you try and get help with that
issue. But when you bring a third party into it, you sort of speak about the party that you having
an issue with, in a way that's not necessary, you start undressing everything that you know about
them, right, so that now the situation goes beyond it being,
		

			you know, a process of arbitration and dealing with the situation at hand. But it goes into the face
of now. You know, placing negative thoughts in the heart of the third party that's come to arbitrate
for one of the two parties said character assassination is a type of product, right?
		

			And because of that, now, you know, this person might not be hired in the future.
		

			You know, you know, this person might be warned,
		

			against when people might go about saying stay away from this person. Why because of your character
assassination by you running your tongue and mentioning things that you shouldn't have mentioned
things that are like kept hidden, you have exposed This is a type of plot brothers and sisters in
Islam. backbiting is a type of plotting the downfall of other people as well. And we know the
punishment of it. Right? So
		

			you know, we must, we spoke in earlier episodes about the tongue and looking after the tongue. And
to add to that, we should make sure that we don't promote the downfall of other people with our
tongues and our hands. Why? Because a student of Allah subhanho wa Taala is that everyone who plots
in an evil way, that plot will only fall upon them and they will taste the hardness of the plot. The
most we Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us from all harm. This is the lesson for today. And I'll
leave you to ponder over events in your life and in particular your actions and that's how it should
be brothers and sisters in Islam we should never, ever listen to lessons and think of other people
		

			and say I wish they could hear or he could he or she could hear. So normal human trait unfortunately
especially in the age that we are in, we should always say Alhamdulillah that I am hearing what does
Allah want me to improve as a result of Allah subhanho wa Taala bringing to me this lesson and let
us improve
		

			effectively as a result of it insha Allah and then that way you know This lesson will become a
sadaqa jariya for me and inshallah people will be inspired by you and you will become a sort of a to
God of other people as well and this is how we truly benefit each other. I love your for the sake of
Allah. By the way, we almost hitting the middle part of the month of Ramadan, please ask Allah
subhana wa tada to accept all our deeds and ask Allah to grant Baraka in that which remains our
