Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, Allah sent us into this world to be people who care.
Allah sent us into this world to be people who care, who care about others, who do things
to help others.
Allah defined this and Allah said, Allah said, you are the best of people and you have
been sent for the benefit of the people.
You have been sent to care for the people.
And what is this caring?
This caring is to enjoy everything which is good and to forbid everything which is evil
and to have faith in Allah .
So Allah is also defining the caring.
What is the meaning of that caring?
What is the meaning of that caring?
And then Allah again the same unwaan of Amar bil Maruf and Nayan al Munkar is coming in
the Quran in several places.
Then we have the hadith of Rasulullah , the hadith of Abu Dardar where he said, the
Nabi said, if you see something evil happening, stop it with your hand.
And .
If you do not have the for that, then stop it, speak against it, stop it with your
tongue.
And if you do not even have the for that, then hate it in your heart.
And this is a sign of the weakness of your Iman.
So the question of joining with the people of taking part in that evil which is happening,
being silent, being silent.
This is the question.
We are still the audience.
We are still the audience.
We are all the audience.
We are all the audience.
We are all the audience.
Our audience is silent spectators.
All of this is not there because if you hate something then what we do the first thing
you will do is you leave the place.
You can't say I hate the thing and I'm sitting there.
Why are you sitting there?
And the fact is that to understand this, we have to understand also that to change anything
first, you need to care.
You need to be prepared for three things.
1.
To be resisted.
2.
To be abused and to be reviled.
These are the tests.
The test, the grade of your sincerity.
And then the doors will open.
They will not open before this.
They will open only after this.
That's why Allah SWT said,
وَتَوَاسُوا بِذَكْتِ وَتَوَاسُوا بِصَغْرِ
Why the sabr?
Because tawaso bil haq always results in opposition.
People do not like somebody who tells them the truth.
People do not like somebody who tries to save them from their own mistakes.
Ameer Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
I am like a man who has lit a fire
and all the moths are floating.
Flying into the fire and this man is trying to chase them away.
The moths want to go into the fire.
The fire looks very attractive.
They want to fall into the fire.
They don't understand.
It looks attractive but it is a fire.
It will burn you.
It will kill you.
That's why the other day I said to you and I reminded myself,
don't worry about the world because it does not belong to you.
It belongs to Allah SWT.
Don't worry about risk because it is from Allah.
Allah SWT has mentioned many of these things.
And then don't worry about the future because it is in the hands of Allah SWT.
It's not in your hands.
Worry only about one thing which is how to please Allah.
Worry only about that.
I remind myself and you that the past is over.
History,
is not something to like or dislike.
To approve of or disapprove.
History is something you learn from.
If your history was painful,
then that is even better
because then you will not repeat it, hopefully.
Because people who do not learn from history
are condemned to repeat it.
The future is not here.
You and I may not even see the future.
But one thing for sure,
if you want that future to be good,
then you need to work on that now.
The future in this world we may never see,
but the future in the Akhira is there.
You will all see that.
You will all see that.
And if we want that future to be good,
we have to start working now.
We all talk about,
I wish this,
I wish that.
Wishing,
there is a saying in the proverb in English,
if wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
Wishing doesn't get you anything,
you have to work.
Planned action.
