Be Respectful To Get Along With Others | Mufti Menk

#MuftiMenk addresses that we have been created very differently by Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. No two human beings are the same when it comes to your features, when it comes to your identity, when it comes to your fingerprint, when it comes to the iris that you have every single one of us is very different. So Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala says We’ve made you differently so that you appreciate each other; so that you acknowledge each other ;so that you earn a reward by living together and by understanding that the plan of Allah is for you to live together even though you are different in this lecture.

Mufti Menk quotes in this lecture, “If you want to live together watch your mouth; don’t be vulgar, never be vulgar Subhan Allah, always be respectful. People have paid heavy prices for the way they used their mouths- heavy price .May Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala protect us.”
