Human Beings Are Not As Merciful As Allah. Human Beings At
Times Are Very Unforgiving.
They May Never Give You A Second Chance.
In Fact, They May Judge You Wrongly When You Haven'T Even
Sin. That Is The Test That Allah Places In Your Lives And
Mine And This Is Why When Someone Has Wronged You As A Human
Being You Are Encouraged To Overlook And Forgive, Forgive
And Embrace Wouldn'T You Like Allah To Forgive You.
In Fact, It Is Addressed In The Third Person,
Would They Not Like Allah To Forgive Them?
So. Allah Is Encouraging Us To Forgive Others And Allah Is
Encouraging Us To Overlook, But That'S Not Easy.
When Do I Give A Person A Second Chance?
If Someone Has Abused Me, Tortured Me, Someone Has Done Something
Nasty; They'Ve Stolen My Wealth.
They'Ve Sworn At Me.
They Have Harmed Me. They May Have Done
Something Really Disastrous. My Brothers And Sisters,
It Is Your Right Not To Forgive.
It Is Your Right Not To Forgive But Allah Strongly Recommends
You To Forgive. Allah Tells You In Beautiful Powerful Words
Encouraging You On The Highest Level To Say Forgive The Person,
Find It In Your Heart To Forgive Them.
So You May Choose To Forgive And Embrace If That Person Is
Genuine And They Are Seeking Forgiveness And You See That Their
Attitude Has Changed Completely; You May Choose To Forgive
And Embrace Which Means You Go Back To How It Used To Be
Before But You Have A Right Not To Do That. If The Person
Is Seeking Your Forgiveness, But You Are Wary About Whether
Or Not They Are Genuine, You'Re Worried About Whether Or Not
They Have Changed Their Ways Or Habits.
You Can Forgive Them, But You Don'T Need To Embrace Them
Because The Two Are Different
Acts Of Worship, Subhanallah. I Forgive Someone But Because
I Don'T Want To Be Bitten By Them Again, I Will Stay Away
From Them.
There Is Nothing Wrong With That. You Can Keep A Safe Distance
In Order To Safeguard Yourself From What Has Happened In
The Past.
You Would Not Be Foolish, Especially When The Genuineness
Is Not So Manifest In The People Or The Person Who Is Seeking
Your Forgiveness, Then Sometimes They May Not Seek Your Forgiveness
And Perhaps They May Never Have Changed.
You Can Still Find It In Your Heart To Forgive Them, But
You Don'T Need To Embrace Them.
If You Do Obviously It Will Be Something Good.
But If You Don'T In Order To Protect Yourself, It Is Not
Bad Either. May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Grant Us An Understanding.
So To Forgive People And To Tell Yourself;
Oh, I Have Forgiven This Person For The Sake Of Allah, Even
Though They May Not Have Sought That Forgiveness.
That Is Something Allah Asks You To Do. Then We Have Another
Scenario; Where We Say, I Forgive This Person But I Would
Like Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala To Show Them That They Were
Wrong, To Show Them Or Perhaps To Let Them Have A Lesson So
That They Don'T Do It To Others Or So That Others Are Protected
From That. That Is Probably One Of The Lower Levels When Forgiving
People. So You Forgiving Them, Released It From Your Heart,
But You Have Asked Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala To Grant Them
A Lesson Subhanallah, It Is Also Okay To Do That, But It
Is Something That Is Of A Lower Level And The Lowest Level
Which Is Also Your Right Is To Say I Don'T Want To Forgive
This Person. Allah Tells Us Many Times In The Quran. Try To
Avoid That, Try To Forgive Them, Find It In Your Heart
Even If You Are Going To Stay Away From Them.
Don'T Hold It In Your Heart.
It Probably Has A Greater Burden Within Your Heart And Your
Shoulders Then It Has For Them. So Release It Even If You Are
Releasing It On The Lowest Level Of Release And Let It Go.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Grant Us A Good Understanding.
My Brothers And Sisters,
So Do People Deserve A Second Chance?
I'Ve Just Told You When It Comes To The Sins They Commit
Between Them And Allah. Allah Will Give Them As Many Chances
As They Wish For As Long As They Are Doing The Right Thing
When Seeking The Forgiveness Of Allah. A Person Said Something
Wrong. They Did Something Wrong.
They Deserve A Second And A Third Chance When Those Are Taken
From The Rights Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala, However When
They Have Wronged Another Human Being That Human Being May
Not Forgive Them. Now In Today'S World People Commit Sins
And Sometimes These Sins Are Made Apparent To The Rest Of
Us. Remember My Brothers And Sisters As Much As We Gleefully
Sometimes Enjoy To Expose Them And Their Sin And
We Don'T Realize It Was A Sin Committed Between Them And
Allah And If You Were To Expose Those Sins Perhaps Allah
May Expose You If It Was A Sin Between Them And Allah.
Yes, We Should Talk About It In A Positive Way, Bearing In
Mind, These Are Our Brothers And Sisters In Faith.
They Are Our Brothers And Sisters In Humanity.
We'Re Meant To Reach Out To Them Not To Make Them Suicidal, Simply
Because The Whole World Has Excommunicated Them For A Bad
Habit That They Had Or For Something They Did In Their Relationship
With Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala And They Are Remorseful. If
People Are Remorseful And They Are Seeking The Forgiveness.
You Need To Know If That Was From The Rights Of Allah, Who
Are You As A Human Being To Say That They Will Never Ever
Be Accepted Again?
May Allah Forgive Us.
The Term Used Nowadays Is Canceled; Such And Such A Person
Is Canceled Simply Because They Said Or Did Something That
May Actually Be Forgivable In The Eyes Of Allah Subhanahu
Wa'Ta'Ala, Who Are We As Human Beings Not To Give A Person
A Second Chance. If We Were Taught By Allah Never To Give
A Person Who Faltered Or Wronged The Second Chance, None Of
Us Would Ever Have A Second Chance In Life.
So I'M Advising You My Brothers And Sisters Go Easy On Others
Allah Will Go Easy On You.
Remember, They Are Human, They Suffer And Struggle The Consequences
Of Your Words, Your Actions, Way Beyond Their Sin Was Forgiven By Allah.
So Be Careful Because Now The Sin Is Actually Yours.
We Don'T Enjoy Exposing People Ever.
If You'Re A True Believer, You Will Never Enjoy To Expose
People. Why Are You Exposing Them?
If They Deserve To Be Exposed Because Of The Evil That Came
From Them
It'S Not Because We Enjoy It But It Is Because We'D Like
To Save Others Or Perhaps Teach People A Lesson.
So Remember This. It'S Never The Enjoyment.
When People Begin To Enjoy Exposing Others, They Are Doing
It For Shaitaan Not For Allah, But When People Are Exposing
The Little That They Have To For The Correct Reasons.
And They Are Not Enjoying It At All And It Pains Them And
They Are Still Reaching Out To Those Who Have Wronged In
A Positive Way.
Stretching An Arm Of Goodness And Reconciliation To Them
Then They May Well Be Doing It For The Sake Of Allah Subhanahu
Wa'Ta'Ala. May Allah Grant Us The Ability To Do Whatever We
Do For His Sake, Sake Of Allah. So Bear In Mind, My Brothers
And Sisters Man Is Not Ghafoor Ur Rahim.
He'S Not Most Forgiving Most Merciful.
That Is Allah. Allah Will Give You Many Many Chances, Man Will
Not Give You Many Chances Unfortunately, But Allah Encourages
Us Because We Are All Human, Never Write Off A Person Simply
Because They'Ve Done Something Wrong, Many Times People Serve
A Prison Period Or Correctional Services.
They Have Served Their Sentence.
We Refuse To Embrace Them When They Come Out Of That Sentence.
We Think They Don'T Deserve Another Chance.
We Treat Them Badly.
Is That What Allah Wants, Subhanallah? If You Were To Be Excommunicated
Because Of The Sin You'Ve Committed, Every Single One Of Us
Would Be Excommunicated Just Because Allah Has Covered.
You Does Not Mean You'Re Innocent.
It Means You'Re Equally Guilty But You'Re Fortunate That
Allah Has Not Exposed You.
So Go Easy On Others And Allah Will Go Easy On You.
My Brothers And Sisters Those Who Have Been Released From
The Prisons, Those Who Have Come Out From The Correctional
Services, Those Who Are Serving Time There
You Are Our Brothers And Our Sisters.
We Stretch An Arm Of Reconciliation With You.
We Will Try Our Best To Reintroduce You Into Community And
Society. Those Of You My Brothers And Sisters Who Have Wronged
And Faulted You Are Still Our Brothers And Sisters.
If You Have Wronged Someone Make Peace With Them, Seek Forgiveness
From Them. They May Not Forgive You, But If You'Ve Wronged Allah
Seek Forgiveness From Allah, He Will Always Forgive You And
We Will Help Reintroduce You Into Society In A Way That Will
Definitely Be An Example For Humanity At Large.
We'Re Human Beings.
We All Falter We All Commit Sins.
Yes.
I Do Know The Magnitude Of The Crime Also Matters.
It Does, It Takes Longer For People Who'Ve Committed Major
Major Sins To Be Forgiven Or To Be Introduced Into Society
And Community But Still We Are Asked By Allah To Give People
Another Chance, To Give People Another Chance If Allah Gives
Someone A Chance Why Is It That We Won'T? My Brothers And
Sisters. I'D Like To Make A Quick Clarification About Marriage.
Nobody Should Use What I'Ve Said To Blackmail A Person Who'S
Being Abused Into Remaining In A Relationship When They Are
Being Abused To The Degree That They Cannot Cope Anymore.
No, My Brothers And Sisters Remember, It'S The Mercy Of Allah.
If A Person Really Cannot Manage In A Relationship And They
Are Struggling In It.
They Have The Right To Seek The Termination Of That Marriage
Or That Relationship.
They Have A Right.
So Let'S Not Usurp That Right By Telling Them
You Have To Bear With Whatever We'Re Doing Against You Or
With Whatever The Circumstances Are Against You.
That Is False.
You Don'T Have To Bear It All. If You Cannot Manage You Cannot
Cope And If You Are Struggling, You Have The Right To Seek
Help And If Need Be You May Terminate That Relationship, Remember
That. But My Brothers And Sisters, Let'S Have Mercy On Those
Who'Ve Come Back, Those Who Have Repented When It Comes To
Other Sins.
They Are People Who Sometimes Their Sins Are Exposed To Us
And We Were Not Supposed To Have Known Those Sins.
Would We Look At Them With The Eye Of Skepticism For The Rest Of
Our Lives When We Know That They Sought Forgiveness Or They
Are Repenting? That'S What I'M Talking About.
We Need To Make Sure Like I Said, This Is The Third Time
I'M Saying It Go Easy On Them And Allah Will Go Easy On You.
My Brothers And Sisters, May Allah Give Us Chance After Chance.
We Are Human But Let'S Not Abuse That And Let'S Not Misinterpret
The Term Hope In The Mercy Of Allah, But My Brothers And
Sisters. Let'S Also Learn To Be Merciful To Others, The Hadith
Of The Prophet Sallallahu Alehiwassallaam Says Allah Does
Not Have Mercy Upon Those Who Don'T Have Mercy On Other People.
May Allah Never Expose Us.
I Promise You If We Had To Sin
In Fact, If Our Sins Were Exposed To Others We Probably Would
Be In A Worse Position Than Those Whose Sins Have Been Exposed To Us.
So Let'S Not Play The Nobleman By Trying To Belittle Others
Instead Of Helping Them And We Need To Strike The Balance
Between Helping Them Dealing With The Matter Ensuring That
That Is Not Done Again And At The Same Same Time Seeking
The Pleasure Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala.
