Allah Almighty Is The Most Merciful.
He Says Anyone Who Seeks Forgiveness From Sin While They'Re
Alive Breathing, They Are
Well, They Will Be Forgiven, No Matter What The Sin Is.
If You Seek The Forgiveness Of Allah, He Will Always Forgive
You, Now There Is One Sin That Is Considered The Worst Possible
Sin That Man Could Commit According To The Quran And The
Teachings Of The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam, This Sin
Is Known As Shrik, Shrik Meaning To Worship
Someone Besides Allah Or With Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
Association Of Partnership With Allah, Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
States That He Will Not Forgive Shirk Under Certain Circumstances.
It'S Very Important To Know What Those Circumstances Are.
If A Person Has Committed Shirk In Their Lives And They
Seek Forgiveness From They Will Definitely Be Forgiven Without
A Shadow Of Doubt.
If You Have Sought True Repentance After Having Disbelieved
In Allah Or Associated Partners With Allah, Allah Says He
Will Forgive You.
He Will Wipe Out All The Bad In A Flash Subhanallah, But
The Only Time He Doesn'T Forgive Shirk According To Him Is
If You Died And You Did Not Repent From Your Sins.
Then He May Still Out Of His Mercy Forgive All Other Sins
Besides One, Which He Says He Has Chosen Not To Forgive.
So Let'S Get This Clear Allah Forgives Shirk If You Seek
The Forgiveness From It While You'Re Alive And If You Pass
Away And You Have Not Sought Forgiveness From Your Sins,
Then Allah May Still Forgive All The Sins But He Has Chosen
In That Situation Under Those Circumstances In That Condition,
He Has Said He Won'T Forgive. May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
Have Mercy On All Of Us And Guide Us To The Straight Path.
And This Is Why Everyone Is Searching For Comfort And Security.
We Want To Be Far From Being Afraid Or Being Insecure. Who
Is Most Deserving Of This Security?
And This Great Comfort From Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala,
Is It The One Who Doesn'T Mind What He Or She Does On Earth
Or The One Who Worships Allah Alone And Ensures That They
Don'T Do Wrong Thereafter, The Question Is Asked In Surat
Al-An'Am Verse Number 82, Allah Says
Which One Of The Two Parties Is More Deserving Of This Aman/ This Comfort Of Security.
If Only You Knew Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says
Those Who Believed And They Did Not Contaminate That Belief With Zulm,
Zulim Includes Major Sin.
And Primarily It Means Association Of Partnership With Allah
Allah Says
Indeed Association Of Partnership With Allah
Is A Massive Zulm /Oppression Wrongdoing Actually In The
Arabic Language Linguistically Zulm Refers To Placing Something
Where It Does Not Belong.
To Put Something Where
It Does Not Belong. So Allah Says To Worship And To Render
An Act Of Worship To Whom It Does Not Belong Or Where
It Does Not Belong Is A Massive Wrongdoing.
So If You Would Like Peace And You Want Comfort, Please Ensure
That You Don'T Associate Partners With Allah In Worship,
Make Sure Because Many Of Us Sometimes We Feel We'Re Doing
A Good Deed, But We Don'T Realize This Is Not Worth What
Allah Would Accept Because In It There Is Association Of
Partnership With Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala. Some People Get
Irritated When They Are Reminded About Shirk And They
Say Why Do You Keep Using This Word?
And Why Do You Keep Warning People About Shirk, To Be Honest
That Is The Main Thing The Prophet Peace Be Upon Him Warned
Us All About. It Is One Of The Main Messages Of This Quran
So Let'S Not Get Irritated When People Warn Us About Association
Of Partnership With Allah, That Having Been Said Don'T Become
Depressed If You'Ve Committed A Sin When You Know, You'Re
Alive And You Can Still Seek The Forgiveness.
The Only Thing Is Don'T Delay Seeking The Forgiveness Of
Allah And Once You'Ve Sought The Forgiveness Of Allah, Don'T
Doubt The Mercy Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala, A Very Quick
Piece Of Information That Many Become Oblivious About Is
That The Companions Of The Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon
Him, Most Of Them Were Actually Mushrikeen Before They Accepted
Islam. They Were Idolaters, They Were People Who Worshipped
Deities Besides Allah And Worship With Allah Other Deities.
When They Accepted Islam Their Past Was Totally Wiped Out
And They Started With A Clean Slate.
So Allah Says The Rightly Guided And Those Who Are Deserving
Of This Peace And Security Are The Ones Who Believe And Do
Not Contaminate That Belief With Any Association Of Partnership
With Allah.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Strengthen Us.
My Brothers And Sisters, Many Times We End Up Saying Things
To People That Hurts People As A Result.
They End Up Saying Things To Us That Hurts Us.
Sometimes They Had No Plan To Say Things To Us That Were
Hurtful. But Because We Said Something As A Reaction To That
They Happened To Say Something. That Creates A Huge Crisis
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Warns Us As Believers.
To Think Before We Say Things, Think Of The Reaction Of Your
Action, Prior To Acting ,It'S Amazing. Before You Say Something,
Before You Do Something, Think Of What Will Happen As A Result
Of Your Deed.
If It Is Going To Be Negative.
Stay Away From That. May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Protect
Us. So There Is A Narration Of The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe
Wasalam That Actually Warns A Person Who Curses His Own Parents.
So When He Was Asked How Would One Curse His Own Parents
He Said Well, You Find A Man Cursing The Parents Of Another
Man And As A Result That Man Then Curses The Parents Of The
Man Who Initially Started All The Cursing. So He Would Have
Cursed His Own Parents By The Reaction Which Happened As
A Result Of His Action, Subhanallah.
So Allah Tells Us Be Careful Because Some Of You May Cause
The Insulting Of Allah Or Of The Messenger Or Of The Quran Or Of Something Sacred
As A Result Of Your Insults To Someone Who Perhaps
Is Calling Out To Deities Besides Allah, So Think About It
And Don'T Do It.
You Would Not Gain Anything By Cursing And Insulting Or Swearing
Or Mocking At Those Who Worship Deities Besides Allah, You
Wouldn'T Really Be Inviting Them Towards Goodness By That
Mockery By That Insult Instead.
You Will Leave Them Further Into Hatred
Such That They Will Begin To Say Things That Are Insulting
To You, Your Faith To Allah To The Messenger Etc.
Listen To Verse Number 108 Of Surat Al-An'Am Allah Says
Don'T Insult Those Who Are Calling Out Deities
Besides Allah Because As A Result They May Then Insult
Allah Without Knowledge. Who Would Have Caused It? Your Insult
Would Have Prompted It.
So If You Want To Achieve Comfort In Any Situation Don'T
Insult People, Don'T Abuse Them. You Disagree, Express That
Disagreement With Utmost Respect, Respect Yourself To Begin
With And Then Respect Others.
If You Really Care For Mankind And You Really Care For People
And Want Them To See The Truth, The Truth Will Never Be Communicated
To Them Via Insult And Abuse Rather
It Will Be Done In A Very Respectful Manner That Is Convincing.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Guide Every One Of Us.
So This Is Something That'S Very Interesting.
We Are Taught Not To Insult Those We Disagree With And This
Is The Highest Form Of Disagreement. Many Times You Find Even
People Of Religion.
They Don'T Realize They Fall Into The Traps Of The Devil.
Where When They Want To Disagree
With Someone, They Are Unable To Do It Except By Hurling
Insults And Using The Most Abusive Words Yet
Allah Is Telling You Those Who Are Perpetrating The Gravest
Crime Of Shirk.
They Are Associating Partners With Allah, Allah Says Don'T
Insult. Don'T Abuse, You Know Why? It Will Have A Reaction
And That Reaction May Be Very Negative And It Might Be Such
That You Will Regret It.
May Allah Grant Us Good Guidance.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Help Those Who Are Trying To
Guide People Towards The Straight Path To Bring Them Through
Inshallah With That Which Is Really Really Respectful.
Ameen Then Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Talks About The Killing
Of One'S Own Children In Surat Al-An'Am Verse Number 140, Allah Says
Indeed At A Loss Of Those Who Have Kill Their Own Children, To Put
This Into Context There Was A Time When People Did Not Want
Female Children.
So When They Had Females, They Would Take The Child And Bury
That Child Alive.
They Would Kill The Child.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Protect Us.
We Are Taught That You Have Male Or Female Be Happy That
Allah Has Blessed You With A Child To Begin With And Thereafter
A Healthy Child.
And Alhamdulillah, Even If The Child May Have A Few Challenges
Consider That A Gift Of Allah To You.
It'S Your Means Of Earning Paradise Alhamdulillah, But Don'T
Ever Be Upset With The Choice Of Allah For You.
Some People To This Day Have So Much Of Ignorance In Them.
They Lose Their Comfort And They Plunged Themselves Into
Crisis Simply Because They'Re Not Happy That Allah Has Given
Them Only Girls.
There'S Nothing Wrong With That.
Some Are Not Happy That Allah Has Given Them Only Boys.
There'S Nothing Wrong With That.
Some Are Not Happy That Allah Has Given Them Boys And Girls
There'S Nothing Wrong With That.
Some Are Not Happy That Allah Has Not Bestowed Them With Children.
There'S Nothing Wrong With That.
They Are People From All These Four Categories And You'Re
Not The Only One. May Allah Bless Us With What We Love.
But At The Same Time He Knows What'S Better For Us.
So Allah Says At A Loss Of Those Who Have Killed Their Children
For Whatever Reason It Is. May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Grant
Us Goodness And May He Bless Those Who Don'T Have Children
With Children And Make Us Pleased With The Children.
He Has Granted Us.
