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.
