When A Person Passes Away Leaving Behind Some Wealth. The
Estate Of The Deceased Needs To Be Sorted Out In A Way That
Creates Comfort And Not A Disaster.
So Remember There Will Be Orphans.
They Will Be Widows.
They Will Be Boys And Girls, Brothers And Sisters, Children
Sons And Daughters.
Whoever It May Be Subhanallah, Allah Warns Us About That
Wealth And Allah Says Solve The Matter, Sort It Out
With Justice And Don'T Cheat Or Deceive Anyone, Also
Don'T Unnecessarily Delay. Any Of These Things Would Actually
Cause A Huge Disaster In Your Home.
It Would Drive People Away From Each Other.
It Would Split The Relationships Within The Broader Family.
Remember If You Want To Please Allah You Will Definitely
Have To Do As Allah Has Instructed And If You Do That You
Will Achieve A Lot Of Comfort And You Will Even Protect Yourselves
From Falling Into A Crisis In The First Place.
And This Is Why Allah Says In Surat An-Nisa, Which Is A Surah
That Is Named After The Women.
He Mentions All The Laws Of Inheritance In Great Detail In
This Surah And Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Tells Us
And Give The Orphans Their Wealth
Now When Allah Is Instructing You It Means It'S Supposed
To Happen Quickly.
Allah Says Give Them Their Wealth And Don'T Cheat Them.
Don'T Eat Their Wealth.
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says Don'T Swap Their Wealth That
Is Good With Yours.
That Is Not So Good If They Have Something And It'S Really
A Good Thing And Because They'Re Young, Because They'Re Vulnerable;
Women, Girls, The Daughters, The Orphans, The Young Because They
Don'T Know So Much About The Wealth That Is Left Behind, Many
People Tend To Cheat Them.
They Deceive Them. They Delay Giving Them Their Wealth.
They Find It Very Difficult To To Let Go.
Well, Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Has Warned Us All In This
Regard And He Actually Names The Surah, The Surah Of The Women
To Ensure That You Did Not Maltreat Them.
This Is Part Of The Test Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala. If
You Want Goodness, You Need To Ask Yourself;
Am I Doing Something Wrong?
If You'Re In A Crisis, If You Have A Major Issue In Your Life,
The First Question You Need To Ask Yourself Always Is Am
I On The Right Page In My Relationship With Allah?
If Not, What Am I Doing Wrong?
Have I Harmed Someone?
Have I Oppressed Someone? Have I Wronged Someone? Did I Steal
Someone'S Wealth,
Primarily The Orphans And The Widows?
Those Are Categories Of People Who Are Taken Care Of By Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Himself.
He Personally Ensures That They Will Be Taken Care Of And
Therefore Anyone Who Oppresses Them, Who Does Wrong
To Them, They Will Never Have Comfort In Their Lives In The
Long Term And The Times Even In The Short Term.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Tells Us, You Know What? Give
The Women Their Due, Give The Men Their Due, Don'T Cheat Anyone
And Make Sure That You Have Not Consumed Hell Fire In Your
Belly In Verse Number 10, Allah Says
Those Who Have Consumed The Wealth Of The Orphans Oppressively In A
Wrong Way.
They'Ve Consumed That Wealth
They Have Eaten In Their Bellies,
Nothing Besides The Flames Of Hell Fire.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Protect Us.
So Allah Says For Them.
There Is Doom Doom.
Imagine Allah Is Telling You The Doom Is For A Person Who
Did This.
So If You Feel You'Re Doomed Ask Yourself Did I Do
This? If You Didn'T In Sh Allah, Things Are Okay, But If You
Have Done Wrong, My Brothers And Sisters, No Matter Who You
Are. This Is The Time To Resolve Your Matters Of Inheritance
Between You Your Family Members, Your Children, Your Nephews,
And Nieces, Your Brothers, Your Uncles And Aunts, Your Parents
And Whoever Else It May Be The Widow, The Orphans.
This Is The Time To Resolve The Crisis Because If You Want
The Mercy Of Allah Make Sure That You'Ve Given The Dues To
Whom However, They Belong To. So Much
So When A Person Works For Us If We Were To Delay Their Salary,
Do You Know We Are Asking For Trouble?
Do You Know That We Are Asking For The Curse Of Allah Because
We Are Supposed To Be Making The Payment As Soon As The Work
Is Done Or As Per The Agreement. If You Have Delayed Or You
Abuse A Person Working For You Or You Are Not Paying Them
And There Is No Reason Why You Should Not Pay Them Then Remember
You'Re Tampering With Something.
That Is Very Very Delicate In The Eyes Of Allah.
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala To Give The Wealth Where It Is Due Is
A Way Of Solving Your Crises In Your Own Home, Your Health
And Everything Else.
And This Is Why We Are Taught To Give Charity In Order To
Come Out Of Difficulty.
We'Re Taught To Give Charity, Imagine
You Haven'T Even Given The Fard Of That Which Is Compulsory,
The Dues And You Think That You'Re Going To Get A Solution
By Being Charitable, More Important Than All Those Charities
Is To Resolve The Five Dollars That You Owe The Brother Or
The Sister That Is Far More Important Than All The Charities.
You May Be Throwing Left Right And Center Because In Allah'S
Eyes, He Wants You To Do That Which Is Compulsory Before
You Do That, Which Is Voluntary.
What Is The Point Of Someone Making Or Praying The Voluntary
Prayers Called Nafl Or Sunnah When They Haven'T Even Done
The Fard Or That Which Was Compulsory, So That Foolishness
Allah Says Don'T Allow That To Actually Overtake You. You
Will Pay As A Result Of This.
And Remember The Payment Is Not Done Immediately In All Cases
Because Allah Wants To Give You A Chance To Resolve The Problems.
Allah Wants To Give You A Chance To Come Back Before He Overtakes
You With Any Form Of Hardship.
So Allah Says, I Won'T Punish This Person Immediately.
I'M Going To Give Them Time.
So If You'Ve Done Wrong And You Think You'Re Getting A Way With It.
You'Re Actually Not. Allah Is Waiting For The Right Time.
It May Affect You Now And It May Affect You Later, Before
Crying Tears Of Blood My Brothers And Sisters.
What Does It Cost You To Solve The Problem Pick Up The Phone
Today And Sort The Matter Out With Those Whom You Have A
Matter With If It Is Financial, Especially The Issue Of Inheritance
So Much So That Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says Whosoever
Cheats Anyone When It Comes To Inheritance Or Delays Them.
Or Deceives Them Then They Are Cursed And Perhaps They May
Be Cast Into Hell Fire In The Hereafter For A Very Very Long
Time. May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Not Do That To Us, My
Brothers And Sisters.
It'S Very Important For Us To Be Fair And Balanced, When We
Are Just We Will Achieve Justice, We Will Achieve Goodness.
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says He Wants To Forgive Us.
It'S Not Like Allah Wants To Punish Us The Same Surah In
Surah An Nisa.
Verse Number 27 Where Allah, Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says
Allah Says And Allah Wants To Forgive You.
Imagine Allah Wants To Forgive. You People Who Commit Sin,
People Who Do Wrong, People Who Cheated And Deceived, Whether
It Is Inheritance Or Otherwise Allah Says, I Want To Forgive
You. So Come, Seek Forgiveness.
Make Amends Sort, Your Matters Out And You Will Be Forgiven.
So Allah Says But You Know What? Those Who Want To Follow
Their Desires And Those Who Want To Follow Their Lusts What
They Love, They Want You To Actually Turn Away From Allah
A Great Turning.
So Allah Says
Those Who Want To Follow Their Own Immoral Lusts And Desires Whether
It'S For Wealth Or For The Opposite Sex Or Whatever
It May Be, Allah Says They Want To Influence You To Be Able
To Turn You Away From Allah, But As For Allah, He Wants To
Forgive You.
He Loves You Enough To Forgive You But Seek That Forgiveness
And Make Amends.
And This Is Why Allah Says
The Very Next Verse Allah
Says Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Wants To Make The Burden Light
On You Because He Knows Man Has Been Created Very Weak,
Man Is Weak, Man Tends To Love Things And Out Of His Love
For Material Things.
He'S Ready To Compromise His Link With Allah, Allah Says Don'T
Allow That To Happen.
Yes, We Know You Love Things, Get Them In The Legitimate Ways
If You Can, If You Cannot Bear Patience, Life Is Very Short.
You Will Not Have Everything On Earth.
Even The Wealthiest Person Wants More And Even The Person
Who Has What You Would Like To Have Still Wants Much More
Than They Have, So It'S A Rat Race That Doesn'T Stop. Allah Says
Man Has Been Created Weak, Be Patients, Develop Your Relationship
With Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala, Bear Patience And Understand
That Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Wants To Make Things Easy For You.
So If You Are Just You Passed The Test, If You'Re Fair And
Balanced You Pass The Test, Even If You Haven'T Achieved
So Much Materially, Allah Will Give You Contentment.
Allah Will Give You Comfort But If You'Ve Achieved A Lot
Through Means That Are Not Legitimate That Is Short-Lived
That Is Very Short-Lived.
That Is Actually Foolish.
And This Is Why Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says Don'T Eat
Each Other'S Wealth Wrongly Verse Number 29 Allah Says,
Oh You Who Believe, Don'T Consume Each Other'S Wealth Wrongly
In A Deceptive Way, In A Wrong Way
Unless You'Re Doing Business With Each Other.
That'S The Only Time You Can Rightfully Consume Wealth.
Otherwise, You Should Not Be Doing That.
So Allah Is Telling You Even In Business, Don'T Shortchange
People, Don'T Cheat, Don'T Deceive. One Of The Biggest Deceptions Is
A Person One Who Sells
His Commodity Taking A False Oath About Its Cost Price.
Then Allah Says You'Re Going To Pay A Price For Using Our
Name To Do Something Cheap.
You Use The Name Of Allah To Lie To A Customer About Your
Cost Price.
They Will Be No Blessings In That Sale Or In The Profit
You'Ve Made. You Actually Cheated.
So Allah Says Don'T Do That To Each Other.
You Actually Want Comfort In Crisis And You Want To Be Protected
From Crisis In The First Place Then Protect Yourself By Being
Honest In Business, Upright Even If Your Profit Is Less For
As Long As Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Is With You.
You Have Nothing To Worry About. May Allah Make It Easy For
For Every Single One Of Us And May Allah Grant Us The
Ability To Resolve Our Matters Of Inheritance Today And
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Make Us From Those Who Are
Just And Fair At All Times And Who Help Each Other Achieve
That Which Is Correct.
