So the man asked the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasalam, what could I do that Allah will
love me and the people would love me?
Because it's difficult for both Allah and people
to love you.
You see what I'm saying?
Mhmm. It's difficult.
You're working in a company. You got a
boss.
You want time 5 times a day to
pray. The boss is like, look, I better
hire a non Muslim because you need morning,
afternoon,
Friday
to go for prayer. What is this? Let
me hire a non Muslim. Actually, a lot
of Muslims hire non Muslims because of that.
They're so stupid.
They don't want people who pray in their
business so it could bring barakat in the
shop.
What do you call that? Stupidity.
You're looking at 5 minutes loss of time
as opposed to prayer for Allah in your
business place that will bring millions of in
your business.
You you see what I'm saying?
Yeah. We don't think. We don't have the
vision. We think right here.
You know what it is to have a
But you know what you're gonna do? You're
gonna pay a guy to come and just
make one dua once a year when you
open the business
as opposed to 5 times praying.
That's how we think. We don't think how
we supposed to think as believers.
So then the boss does not like that
worker
and that's how it goes.
So the prophet sallallahu sallam Subhanallah,
he told the man, he said if you
want Allah
to love you based on what you have
asked,
he said you must live a life different
to the rest of the people in this
world.
That's deeper.
He says, live a life
different to everybody else.
You know this, Amama, you see this?
When the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam went and
started giving his message, the Jews and the
Christians,
some of them used to tie this. You
go check Christian Jewish movies.
They would tie this cloth.
Some of them would put just only a
the kippah. You know how the Jews have
a kippah on their head?
So the prophet said, I was gonna say,
you know what? I gotta be different to
everybody else. What did he do?
He took the hat, the keeper,
and he tied the cloth. So he was
different.
He always loved to do things different to
everybody else. Very unique.
Yeah. Very unique.
Last week, couple weeks ago, you had Muharram,
10th of Muharram, Ashura.
The Jews used to fast on 10th
of the 1st month of the religious calendar.
Prophet Sallam said, we will fast 9 10th
or 10 11, so we'll be different.
He was very unique. He just wanted to
be different.
That's the man that we follow.
Unique,
dynamic,
leader, not a follower.
But we Muslims,
everything we see somebody else do, we wanna
do. Now, remember what I'm saying. There are
things that are natural. You gotta get married.
You gotta have a car. You gotta have
a job. You gotta That's normal.
But in the competition with everybody, that's the
problem.
The intention
is
important. Then we forget what we are doing
for the pleasure of Allah.
Everything we do, our car, our house, our
business, our family should be for the pleasure
of Allah. So we do it the way
Allah says in accordance with the Quran and
the sunnah of the prophet
But if we buy a car to please
the people next door to compete, everybody got
this, we got that. A house to suit
the people in the community, everybody got that,
we got the people in my life. Then
your intention is corrupted. Then you don't get
blessings.
