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.
