Suhaib Webb – Steps Towards Prophetic Justice (Part One)

The first point,

Allahu alludes to this idea of being a

prophetic community who may need to do politics

from time to time, but not a political

community that does prophecy when

he

says

in

Shole

Tal

Hadid,

Allah says that indeed we sent the messengers

with clear proofs,

and we revealed to them books,

in so that

and the balance.

And here the measure or the balance, some

scholars said it means the sunnah, others said

it means the intellect.

So that people could establish justice. So here

we find that the initial sort of responsibility

of the establishment of justice as Muslims

is our familiarity

with revelation, our familiarity with our prophets teachings,

alayhis salam, our familiarity with what was revealed

to him so that we can then establish

prophetic

justice,

not subjective justice, but prophetic justice. And then

comes the Aqal,

walmizan,

according to some scholars. And, you know, it's

interesting that the words used for Aqal, we're

now in the month of of Eid,

this time of Eid, Allah says,

So the same word as a stone.

But here Hajjar means means

the intellect.

Why? Because the Hajjar, it should prevent things.

It prevents

things from happening. So the mind, if

it's employed correctly by the person,

is one that is going to prohibit us

from acting on evil,

harm, injustice, or the disobedience of Allah. Subhanahu

wa ta'ala.

Also the word Aqal, if you're from the

Khaleed, you know,

the Aqal is traditionally from the word of

that thing that people wear on their heads,

Masha'Allah, which was used historically to tie a

camel because we should tie our mind

from acting in in ways which are belligerent

and ignorant.

I seek refuge in Allah from being someone

who's intolerant,

someone who doesn't have.
