Dear brothers and sisters,
today,
I will be reflecting
on the story
of 2 sons of our forefather, Adam,
peace be upon him,
to learn
and to study
about our
conditions
today.
The story is captured
when Allah
revealed to our prophet
Adam,
It's not allowed
for the twins, boy and girl, to get
married
from the same
time of delivery,
but it's allowed for
the former
boy
to
marry
the later girl
from the other twins,
Ty,
and Kadi
came.
He was the former,
and the girl came with him
was so beautiful.
And Habi,
Abel,
came the second time,
and for his right to marry the girl
from the previous
time
came with Kabi.
But Kabi was jealous.
He said, no. I will not have him.
I will marry
the daughter came with me
in the same time.
Because there is no amount of families in
that time, and Allah made a specific
law for them about marriage.
But when Kabi
came,
wasn't agree with what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
suggested for them,
and Allah revealed
to them to
make sacrifice
from their sides.
Karel was a farmer
and he took some seeds.
Very few.
Because he told himself, I don't care
if Allah accepted or not because I will
marry her.
And
Habil,
Abel,
he was a shiver for the sheep and
the cow, and he choose a big ram
as a sacrifice
for the sake of Allah.
And the fire will come down from the
sky to bear
that sacrifice
for the one who accepted
from Allah.
And the fellow came to
accept what had been
able
to sacrifice for the sake of Allah.
In that moment,
Kabin become more jealous,
more envy than before,
and he threatened
his own brother.
He said,
surely, I will kill you.
And we might have the same situation today
when we have discussions,
and we might argue together,
but it might end up for 1
of the side
to say,
I will kill you.
And, unfortunately,
it might happen
in some cases
today.
Look around you. What happened?
Back
home?
In Palestine,
in Egypt,
in Iraq, in Syria,
in Yemen,
give me a single reason
for killing over
there. There is no reason.
There is no reason at all,
except some people would like to empower themselves
and their authority, Hasid.
They are dealing with the injustice
all the
time. And the other side which is Habib,
the kind person,
Abel,
the kind person,
what he handled the situation,
he could return back to his brother to
say, you cannot do that.
I will kill you too.
But
he didn't do that. He said, like the
Quran, it's a day for us to learn
and to observe
and to teach ourselves.
Only Allah will accept from palace,
and
we need to learn
how to handle the situations like this.
You might be able to return back in
the same
level of conversation
for the one who insulted you or the
one who abused you,
But you will not do that
because
you try to act as a pious and
righteous person.
It's not my fault.
It's not my business. It's not my decision.
This is Allah's decision.
If he accepted
my sacrifice,
what can I do for you?
But the idea,
he made his decision
and he killed his wife.
SubhanAllah.
And just can you imagine,
this is the first killing on earth.
Before that,
they used to live with the peaceful
life.
There is no murdering
or no killing
before this case.
And
the the danger
thing is,
prophet
Muhammad
mentioned,
if anyone get killed,
the kabi,
king, the son of Adam, will have the
same share of sin,
of killing
till the day of judgment,
Allahu Akbar.
Look.
The consequences
of our actions sometime,
you know,
it will be
difficult
comes out of their decision,
even good or bad. But it's really
very risky situation.
When you do some decision in your life,
don't look at the result of your decision
right now,
but look at the result of your decision
after a few years,
even after we passed away.
If you do good,
look how many people will follow you up,
will imitate you, and you will gain the
good deeds.
Without knowing where did this good deeds come
from,
from
the good action that you started somewhere else,
and that he will follow-up with you.
And this is the reason why prophet Muhammad
salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he will intercede.
He will have
Because no one even all the messengers of
and and the prophets of Allah, no one
will be able to compare with prophet Muhammad
salallahu alaihi wa sallam in good deeds in
the day of judgement. Because
he started
the man Yusuf Allah in his time, he
was alone by himself in Makkah.
Look at his followers today,
and look at his followers until the day
of judgement.
No one will be able to compare with
him a good deed in the day of
judgement. This is the reason why Allah gave
him the level of the
intercession
in the day of judgement.
And the same idea,
if somebody started bad deeds
and the people follow-up
what he started,
he will have
the same sin of those people that they
followed him up until
the day of judgement.
Look out.
The message here today on Earth
started from the time
of sons of Adam,
and the one who started it
will share in the same sense
until the day of judgement.
He become
loser
because Allah says,
And this is the feeling that we will
have when we do something wrong in our
life.
Even if we if we do not able
to express our feeling, but this is what
we have in our heart, in our mind,
between us and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. If
we do not have this feeling,
it will be a big mistake
in our life.
At least we have to feel that we
are guilty on front of Allah's eye.
What happened after that?
Because Allah honored
Bani Adam,
the sons of Adam.
Allah honored us as a human means.
Allah sent to him 2 crows.
The crows, the black the black bear.
They were fighting
and one of them killed the other.
Now Allah is teaching him even he is
a killer,
but Allah is teaching him who how to
take care of the body of his own
brother
to bury his body.
I'm a send a crow
to show him.
We learned from the bird.
There's nothing wrong with that.
We learned from the ants.
We learned from the elephant.
When
the abraham came to destroy Ka'ba, an elephant
disobey his his order.
You know, animals sometime more smarter than us.
But we have some
people are stupid.
They just follow that whispering of shaitan
to feed their haram desires only.
They don't care about anything or anyone except
themselves.
And
what the
said to Allah
He said, I am much better than him,
and I will not bow to Hannah. And
this is our problem today.
Everybody is talking about what do I have,
what is for me?
Subhanallah.
And after Allah
taught him how to bury the body of
his brother,
and he become
regret.
And this story adds introduction for our topic
today.
Our topic today is the verse that Allah
talked
about, the children of
Because of that,
because what happened in between sons of Adam,
we ordained
the children of Israel
Now we have the
solid
rules from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Before that,
there is no rules to
manage
killing
between people.
But in that time,
Allah
commanded
the children of Israel,
it's not allowed for anyone to kill others
unless
if he has right to kill.
For example, if somebody killed my father, I
have
right under the authority of Khalifa,
under the authority
of
the Muslim ruler
to give me right
for that person to be killed.
And I have I I I can
forget him
as long
as killing was by mistake.
It's not by
an intentional way.
Because by mistake, even killing by mistake, alqal
Khabah, there is a certain way for exiliation
to get
the money of the blood for the family
of the one who get killed, and to
release
the name of the slave, Muslim slave,
and to do repentance to Allah
even this is
and who's not able to
to extenuate with this a certain way,
he must
fast
for 2 complete months.
If he break his fasting
in the 9
59 days,
he must start over again from the beginning.
This is how Quran told us.
But the one who cared
intentionally,
what is the punishment for him? Five things
that the Quran mentioned.
His punishment
is
5 in
here
He will remain in it forever.
It will be a
permanent
place for him.
Allah will be angry with him.
Allah will curse him.
And Allah will prepare a great
punishment
or torment for him.
I'm asking
myself and my brothers and sisters
for those people that they get killed.
Why they get killed?
Look at our country's backbone.
What's going on?
How many 1,000? How many millions get killed
without
a single reason for that?
Who is responsible of this part?
Who can stand on front of Allah in
the day of judgment
to defend himself
or to defend somebody else
or to defend injustice
in the name of judgment.
This is the reason when Allah explained the
following verse after that,
And this is the punishment that Allah
explained for the one who
start war
against Allah, with war against Allah and his
messenger.
And those people, those killers,
even if they are praying
247,
even if they are fasting,
even if they are donating their wealth,
but still they are cannot.
They are cannot.
And this is very
risky situation.
The problem is
when the person
figure
out if he killed somebody, he will be
killed,
he will never do that.
If the person figure out if he killed
an innocent person,
the people will stop him.
He will not be able to do it
anymore.
But our problem,
just we put our heads down
and just remain silent
until something something happened to our concerns.
In that moment,
we might wake up
and say, no, we disagree.
No, we condemn
this action and we have to condemn
any single
time that innocent people get killed.
We have to condemn any manly
even for Muslims or non muslims because
they are the sons of Allah, the sons
of Adam.
That Allah
them.
And he didn't didn't say
mankind.
The believers and disbelievers.
The pious
and non pious.
And we need to learn
today.
It will not stop.
Killing will not stop
unless
if all mankind
stand up to say this is
unacceptable.
This is injustice
and we condemn injustice
because it will happen day after day and
we will have the same result.
And we should not support any killer.
Even if he is a Muslim,
we should not support him
because
this is
the curse of Allah
will include all of us.
And
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
mentioned
one time
when he deliver his speech in the time
of pilgrimage.
He asked the companions,
what is this day?
And they said, this is Yaman Haram,
a sacred day which is a Friday.
And what is this city?
And they said, it's a sacred city which
is Mecca.
And
what is this month? And they respond to
him, this is a sacred month
which is the hijack.
And the prophet Muhammad replied
to them by Allah.
The blood of
Muslims,
it's more sacred
than the day of Friday
and the month of Dhir Sheikh and
the city of Mecca.
Even
if we have
a secret place in our in our life,
it's not
a reason or a purpose for somebody to
kill innocent people.
This is the whole idea. We need to
understand.
To kill innocent people, Muslim or non Muslims,
it's not allowed in our religion. And there
is no any religion
came from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala agreed
with killing.
It's forbidden
in Judaism
and Christianity
and Islam.
And these are the 3 religions came from
Allah subhanahu
ta'ala. Killing is not allowed.
Killing is a major sin,
and this is the reason why prophet Muhammad
mentioned
at Saqeel Khababir.
The most
major sins
are 7.
The first one, to make a partner with
Allah
to make shalik with Allah, and the second
one,
to kill
innocent people.
Right away,
Those this is the description
of good people,
believers.
They will not associate
anyone with Allah
as a god.
And they will not
kill innocent people. They will not allow killing
or murdering
in their life.
And we need to learn.
We need to understand. It's
not
Islam is not praying and doing
and that's it. No.
Islam more than this.
This is
the reasons to make you closer to Allah
When you pray to be connected with your
Lord,
when you
fast
to
to purify
your intention and your heart and your mind
to be able to be pious,
And when you donate
to train yourself to be generous,
all these actions
as
introduction
for the real Islam.
Real Islam, what the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam mentioned, and is a Muslim
The real Muslim, the one
who protected
others.
Not to console them by his hand or
by his thumb.
This is the real Muslim.
It's not the one who is praying 247
in his life or praying a 100 cycles
or a 100 rakas. No.
The one
he will feel safe
around him.
He will not
insult them by his hand or by his
tongue. I hope that my message is clear
today for all of us to understand our
missions
in this life
and to work hard to achieve
the high highest level of taqwa,
of piety, and the highest level in paradise
in hereafter.
