Haram Temptations Vs Rizq During Financial Difficulties With Two True Incidents | Shaykh Omar Suleiman

How Allah subhanaw taala rewards our honesty when we’re in a difficult situation. As people start to experience financial uncertainty like many forms of uncertainty; certain options become available to them and certain things open up for them.

There is a unique hardship; a unique way of a person finding themselves in a way that they could be tempted to haram when they’re in a difficult situation.

There’s something to be said about a person who holds onto their principles and does not lose them in a situation of hardship and in a situation of particularly the pinch of financial hardship.

Rewarding a person for their honesty that whoever is mindful of Allah Subhanahu wa’ta’ala during a dire need like financial hardship, Allah subhanaw Taala will make a way out for them and and Allah will provide them from places and with things from places that they would not have expected before.

The source of the rizq and the output of the rizq; the source of the sustenance as well as the output of the sustenance are unknown to you when you choose to practice taqwa, when you choose to practice piety and god-consciousness, even in a tight situation, even in a difficult situation and whoever entrusts Allah with all of their Affairs then Allah subhanaw taala will be sufficient for that person in regards to everything.

You don’t know the rizq that you will see in your life through other business opportunities that Allah will decree that come your way because of you abandoning that haram, You don’t know the blessing/ the Baraka that Allah will put in the money that you earn from halal.

Why The Sunnah Way of sleeping Position To Avoid Spinal Problems | Dr. Bilal Philips

An Incident from the prophet (saw)’s life in which he said on one occasion when he saw an individual lying on the ground by the name of ya’ish ibn thkfah. He (saw) saw him lying on the ground on his stomach. So he came and when he woke up and he looked at the prophet (saw). He (saw) told him this is the method of lying which God hates.

A list of doctor’s recommendation to avoid spinal problems; Number one: on the list was not to sleep on your stomach.

1400 years ago Muslims, when the prophet (Saw) said don’t do it, because it’s hated by Allah. They stopped doing it though they used to like to sleep on their stomach just like we do and over these 1400 years they benefited. All the people who didn’t do it were harmed one way or another.

That’s how we should approach the things which Allah has prohibited and disliked and it’s better not to do it. Stay away from it because there’s harm in it. Even if we can’t see where the harm is…

The prophet Muahmmad (Saw) warned 1400 ago, when nobody had any idea….

Whose Greetings You Don’t Have To Respond In Islam | Mufti Menk

Many of us have an issue sometimes where if we don’t like someone we find it difficult to greet them or to respond to the greeting. Allah says when you are greeted, reply the greeting.

So this is something you need to know greet people and respond to their Greetings in a beautiful way and Allah will open your doors.

if there is someone who you know for a fact, is making a mockery of it Then you don’t respond that particular lies. The lies are because they’re telling you peace be upon you but they don’t mean it at all.

However, Allah says still try to greet back.

When your greet someone, be genuine. This is Allah teaching us clean your heart.

Rumors spread against Uthman (Ra) To Delegitimize ~ Shaykh Omar Suleiman

When you do something particularly, well, then it really hurts to have your integrity  called in a question in regards to that particular matter.

So, when you’re particularly good with something then an accusation in that matter is particularly hurtful.

Once you start to spread those types of rumors, then you just create a profile about a person. The goal here… It’s like islamophobics do, right?

The goal is not to actually have anything verifiable against you as to create enough suspicion to where they can profile you.

So if I throw enough stuff out him then some of it will stick.

Our deen/ religion places such care on verification on not profiling people. By virtue of the abundance of news that exist about them as was done with uthman (Ra)

Listen To What Allah Says Before Sharing Your Good Or Bad News | Mufti Menk

Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala tells us the comfort that we will achieve when we have Allah is such that no matter what news you will know how to process the news.

Remember when you tell people things, who are you telling and what are you telling them? Are you sure that you want this person to know this particular piece of information? You’re sure it’s not going to harm you. It’s not going to be dangerous in one way or another?

Allah says protect yourselves by knowing who you should be talking to and what you should be saying.

Muslim, you are A racist then know | Shaykh Muhammad Abdul Jabbar

Many non-Muslims who inboxed me and said the Muslims are racist. I got a message.

The best of guidance Is the guidance of the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alehiwassallaam. The Best of Books is the book of ALLAH AZZAWAJAL, the Mighty, the Quran.

If you want to follow, If you want to judge Islam, don’t judge you according to individuals, If you want to judge Islam Then look at the best of example the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alehiwassallaam. If you want to follow Islam then follow the message of the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alehiwassallaam. And if you want to look for a book for guidance, then look no further other than the Quran, the final revelation.

The messenger salallahu alihi wasalam said there is no difference between a black or white, between a Arab or non-Arab…

And if you got a problem with the color of someone’s skin, Then you have a problem with Allah, do you know why? Because of Allah is the one who fashioned him, Allah is the one who made him, Allah is the one who created him. if you have a problem with a color of his skin then you are saying Allah, Almighty made a mistake and that could never happen.

All lives matters but this moment of time, black lives do matter

If you’re a racist and you hate black people, then just remember this that the prophet (saw) was breastfed from a black woman. The muezzin of the Prophet salallahu alaihe Salam belal (R) was a black man.

The prophet salallahu alaihe Salam, he demolished Racism and he said there are no difference between a black and a white, Arab and non-arab. Everyone is equal and and the only way a person could become better than another person, The Quran has given a definition is by taqwa; those who are God fearing…..

Saving Lives Is Our Duty When Returning To Public Life | Mufti Menk

To take your precautions and to ensure that you have tied your camel before you say I lay my trust in Allah.

the prophet salallahu alaihe wasalam says work hard towards achieving that which is beneficial for you. Do whatever you can to ensure that what you want, you will get it by the will of Allah. Work hard, Say the name of Allah, seek the help of Allah and go forth.

Then if something bad were to happen to you, then you don’t blame anyone or anything. You just say Allah wanted that to happen.

We must remember saving lives is still our duty. We must remember as much as the lockdown or the restrictions may be disappearing. The virus has not disappeared.

In fact a Believer is the one who is supposed to care even more. A Believer is the one who is supposed to be even more conscious of Life, of sickness, of the spread of evil, the spread of anything harmful.

It is prohibited upon a Believer to spread something harmful even if it were just a foul smell from your own mouth. imagine a disease, imagine something that was really harmful to the lives of people let alone just a stench or a smell from your mouth.

Do something constructive, not destructive, remember those Words because if you tackled boredom with something destructive, it will occupy you with something very very regretful.

Obedience To Allah Only But Kindness To Parents Always | Mufti Menk

Allah says be charitable, be good, be kind. Who should I be kind to?

 

Allah Says (Surah An-nisa, V. 36), worship Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala alone, don’t associate partners with him and be kind to your parents.

Notice, Allah didn’t say obey your parents because obedience is for Allah.

Allah says you don’t have to listen to them when they are wrong. You have to be kind to them whether they are right or wrong. You have to respectfully disagree with them when they are wrong.

Remember if we would like goodness and kindness, if we would Comfort, be kind and respectful to the following categories: your parents then your relatives even if they are nasty people what’s stopping you from being kind and respectful even though you might keep a bit of a distance.

And then Allah says Be Kind to the orphans, be kind to the Beggars, the poor, the needy, be kind to your neighbors. Make sure that you’re very very good to your neighbors.

May Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala help us and then he says Be Kind to Wayfarer a person who’s lost.
