Zakir Naik – One should Stand by the Truth Even against Oneself

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

According to the verse of the Quran,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

respecting the parents is of utmost important. After

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

worshiping Allah, come respecting your parents.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

Allah says in Surah Al Nisa chapter 4,

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11

verse

00:00:13 --> 00:00:13

1335,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

O you who believe,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

stand out for justice,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

as witness

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

to the truth of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

even if it be against yourself,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

against your parents, against your relative, rich or

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

poor. When it comes for standing for justice,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

in supporting Allah,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

you have to stand out for justice even

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

if it against yourself.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

Against your parents, mother or father. Against your

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

relatives, whether it be your son, whether it

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

be your brother, spouses,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

whether it be rich or poor, Allah protects

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

all.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

So yeah, Allah is telling us that you

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

love your parents, yes. But when it comes

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

to justice,

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

even if you do against yourself, against your

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

parents, against the relatives, you have to stand

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

out for justice and truth to Allah Subhanahu

00:00:58 --> 00:00:58

Wa Ta'ala.
