Asalaamu alaikum guys and welcome to another episode of Smile to Jannah.
Elon Musk has been on the news for a number of reasons but the main reason
he's been on the news is because of his acquisition of Twitter.
-What? Is that actually... that actually happened? -Of course it happened.
That's not what we're talking about today today.
What we're going to be talking about is a response to a tweet.
Let's have a gander at this.
If I die under mysterious circumstances it's been nice knowing ya.
Then the Muslim responds you won't die before your day Elon anyhow
you are and were a unique figure in this world
I'm only wondering one thing as a genius haven't you found
out that there is a great creator of this world yet?
If you did, make sure you confess this before your last heartbeat bless you.
And then Elon responds- thank you for the blessing but I'm okay with going to hell
if that is indeed my destination since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there.
Hell, that's the first thing that comes into your mind when he mentions creator.
What if the first thing that came into my mind when somebody mentioned Tesla
was it crashing into a $2 million jet
or failing to stop at meagre 20 miles an hour.
At 20 right now, we're at 21. Will it stop?
You'd say I'm being biased pessimistic, unreasonable,
and you'd be right because in the grand scheme of things Tesla is a pretty good brand.
I mean after all I've invested into it as well, even though the
returns haven't been too great at the moment, but I have faith that they will.
Oh my God
Oh my God.
When we look at the 99 names or qualities of Allah
only a few can be seen as "harsh" and when you take a closer look at those harsh ones,
you'd be able to acknowledge that they are needed for justice to prevail.
And justice is something that even you can appreciate when you had to go to court
because of the shareholders lawsuit,
so we tend to ignore all of these merciful qualities
for a handful of qualities that if taken into context would make sense as well.
I mean let's have a look at this picture of you with Jeffrey Epstein's
right and woman let's be frank looking at this is quite problematic.
But when we give you a chance to explain put this in context we're like 'yo it makes sense'
Similarly let's not have a double standard with God that we apply to our self.
Allah says in the Qur'an "all my slaves who have transgressed against themselves
despair not of the mercy of Allah truly Allah forgives all sins".
Doesn't sound like somebody that wants to send us to the hellfire.
Allah says "whoever comes to me walking, I go to him running".
When Allah created the creation he wrote over the throne 'truly my mercy surpasses my anger'.
If Allah makes such allowances for us and a person can be so arrogant
that they don't even want to acknowledge him,
why on earth should this person be allowed paradise? Even you've placed the condition
of wealth before somebody is able to attain your car,
and you'd be a fool for giving your car away for free.
A woman found a lost child and embraced him. The Prophet upon seeing this asked the companions
"Can you imagine this woman ever throwing her child in the fire?"
The companion(s) said "No, by Allah". The Prophet (peace be
upon him) said "Allah is kinder to his slaves than this woman is to her child".
If you are as smart as they say you are
you should take time out mate, ponder and reflect upon the creation of Allah.
Read the book of Allah (of God) otherwise you are just going to end up like
some RIP message that's trending on Twitter
for a couple of days before people become tired and move on with their lives.
You are not special. I am not special. There have
been special people in the past and they have been forgotten,
because all that matters to the people that are alive are those that are alive yeah.
What's gonna matter for us is what we have earned-
not in terms of money- but in terms of deeds in this world,
so not only are we successful here but we are successful in the hereafter too.
Let's leave it there guys until next time, Asalaamu Alaikum.
