			Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a hadith that Allah azza wa jal said, yeah, a
baddie in the haram to Allah Allah and FC withdrawal to Hubei in como ha Rahman fell out of order
move ecological Muslim. So this is a Hadith kotse, where Allah azza wa jal says that he has
prohibited himself from oppression
		
00:00:22 --> 00:01:03
			that he has prevented even the possibility that Allah could oppress anybody. And then he says
something kind of interesting. It doesn't seem related at first. But that's the whole point of the
Hadith, where he says that and I have placed in between you Maha Roman, basically, like, I've put
rules, I've put limits, I've put commands that you're not supposed to cross. And then he says, For
that alone, and also don't oppress each other. So the implication Allah subhanaw taala it's amazing
to me because Allah treats us like, intelligent people. He doesn't always spell out every little
thing as if we're in kindergarten. So He lets us connect the dots ourselves here, he says, I have
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:43
			prohibited myself from oppression. And I have made between you rules and limits, so don't oppress
one another. Allah is implying here that the rules that he has put down the Haram that don't do this
that don't do that. The purpose for those rules is so that we don't end up oppressing one another.
Right? So if you wonder, it's like, Well, why do we have this rule? Like why do we have that rule?
Like, I don't understand why we have to do this in a summer why we can't do that? Well, the answer
is right there for you. If you ended up doing that thing, whether it's alcohol, whether it's
gambling, whether it's riba whether it's Zina, right, all of these things that we know are haram,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:02:13
			why are they there? Are they just to make your life as an individual difficult? No, is to prevent
oppression. Allah subhanaw taala is implying in the Hadith, that if we were to partake in these
things, that we would end up oppressing one another and Allah hates oppression. And so he has put
them as limits so that we don't end up oppressing each other. And then he has followed that up with
saying, so don't oppress each other. Even if you're following these limits. There's other things
that you might do, or you could do that would end up oppressing other people. So don't do it.
