إن الحمد لله نستعينه تعالى ونستغفره ونستهديه، ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا، من يهده الله فهو المهتد ومن يضلل فأولئك هم الخاسرون، أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدا عبده وحبيبه وخليله وصفيه من خلقه، أدى الأمانة وبلغ الرسالة ونصح الأمة وكشف الله به الغمة وجاهد في الله حق جهاده حتى أتاه اليقين، صلى الله عليه وعلى الصحابة أجمعين ومن تبعه بإحسان واقتفى أثره إلى يوم الدين.
Zaista, hvala pripada Allahu; od Njega Uzvišenog pomoć tražimo, od Njega oprost i uputu molimo. Utječemo se Allahu od zla naših duša i od naših loših djela. Koga Allah uputi, on je na Pravom putu, a koga On ostavi u zabludi – takvi su izgubljeni (usp. El-E'raf, 178). Svjedočim da nema boga osim Allaha, Jedinog, Koji nema sudruga, i svjedočim da je Muhammed Njegov rob, miljenik, prijatelj i odabranik među Njegovim stvorenjima. Izvršio je emanet, dostavio poslanicu, savjetovao ummet – Allah je preko njega otklonio tminu – i borio se na Allahovom putu onako kako treba, sve dok mu nije došla smrt. Neka Allah blagoslovi njega i sve ashabe, i one koji ga u dobru slijede i idu njegovim stopama do Sudnjeg dana.

أَلَا إِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْكَلَامِ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ، وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا
Zaista, najistinitiji govor je Allahov govor, najbolja uputa je uputa Muhammeda, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, a najgore stvari su novotarije (iz hadisa, Muslim).
- 1:00
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ
„O vjernici, bojte se Allaha onako kako Ga se treba bojati i ne umirite drugačije nego kao muslimani!“ (Ali Imran, 102)
- 1:08
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا ثُمَّ أَمَّا بَعْدُ
„O ljudi, bojte se Gospodara svoga, Koji vas je od jednog čovjeka stvorio – a od njega je stvorio njegovu ženu – i od njih dvoje mnogo ljudi i žena rasijao. I bojte se Allaha, s čijim imenom jedni od drugih tražite, i čuvajte rodbinske veze, jer Allah, zaista, nad vama bdi.“ (En-Nisa, 1). A zatim:
- 1:29
Najveća hvala i zahvala pripada Gospodaru svjetova. Najljepše i najpotpunije salavate i selame donosimo na Njegovog najboljeg roba koji je ovom Zemljom zgazio, na pečat svih poslanika i našeg uzora u dobru, na Muhammeda, alejhis-salatu ves-selam,
- 1:46
na njegovu čestitu porodicu, njegove vrle drugove ashabe i sve vjernike koji ustrajno idu na putu istine do Sudnjega dana. Amin. Svjedočimo da nema istinskog božanstva koje zaslužuje ibadet osim Allaha, tebareke ve te'ala, i svjedočimo da je Muhammed, alejhis-selam, Njegov rob i posljednji Poslanik.
- 2:08
Allahu, tebareke ve te'ala, se utječemo od zla naših duša i od loših naših djela. Njega za uputu i milost molimo, Njegovom se Džennetu nadamo, od Njegovog Džehennema strahujemo. Koga Uzvišeni ostavi u zabludi, niko mu mimo Njega na Pravi put ne može ukazati, a kome Uzvišeni podari svjetlo upute, pa ta uputa mu je dovoljna za potpunu pobjedu i potpuni uspjeh i na ovome i na budućem svijetu.
- 2:39
Poštovana moja braćo, cijenjene džematlije ovog lijepog, finog i novog džemata, nema sumnje da je uputa Muhammeda, alejhis-selam, najpotpunija uputa, i nema sumnje da je on, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, živio najpotpunijim, najboljim, najdostojanstvenijim životom koji jedan čovjek, insan, može da živi.
- 3:05
I on je tu svoju uputu prenosio na svoje drugove, da bi došla do nas. Podučavao ih je da budu čedni, časni, hrabri, da budu vrijedni, da budu radni, neovisni.
- 3:24
Jer da bi čovjek uspio i bio Allahov dobri rob, mora se po tim uputama i tim smjernicama vladati. A pošto nas je Allah stvorio i mi smo Njegov proizvod, nema sumnje da On najbolje zna koje je uputstvo da slijedimo, i ako ga budemo slijedili, bit ćemo uspjeli, gornji, dominantni i na ovom i na budućem svijetu.
- 3:51
I sam Poslanik, braćo moja, je žudio i od Allaha tražio da ga učini gornjim, ponosnim, uspješnim, dostojanstvenim čovjekom. Poznata je njegova dova koju je Poslanik često koristio i učio je.
- 4:10
Dova koju bilježi Muslim u svome „Sahihu“, da kaže Poslanik, alejhis-salatu ves-selam: „Allahumme inni es'elukel-huda vet-tuka vel-afafe vel-gina.“ Allahu moj, molim Te za uputu, i bogobojaznost, i čednost, i neovisnost. Četiri stvari.
- 4:32
I kao sav poslanički govor – sa malo kaže puno, odnosno kaže sve – ove četiri stvari, braćo moja, obuhvataju sve što je dobro i sve što je nama potrebno da bismo ostvarili potpuni uspjeh i dominaciju, i da budemo gornji Allahovi robovi, i što se tiče dunjaluka i što se tiče ahireta.
- 4:57
Što se tiče ahireta, jasno je: onaj koji u vjeru uđe potpuno, ko vjeru potpuno prihvati, Allahovim smjernicama se vlada, da će živjeti lijepim životom, jer je to Allah objavio i propisao kada je rekao: „Onaj koji čini dobro, bio muškarac ili žena, a vjernik je, dat ćemo mu da živi lijepim životom,
- 5:24
a na Sudnjemu danu ćemo ga nagraditi po najljepšem od onog što je činio.“ Pa je ovdje obećanje za dvije nagrade, i dunjalučku i ahiretsku. Međutim, i ovaj prolazni materijalni svijet, ovaj dunjaluk, je ostavljen da mi u njemu budemo namjesnici.
- 5:46
Da budemo gornji, da budemo dostojanstveni. Ne da budemo prezreni, ne da budemo poniženi, ne da budemo donji. Zbog toga vjernik koji se drži vjere sigurno će u tome uspjeti. I u tome treba da tražimo današnje odgovore za stanje muslimana i u svijetu i na lokalu.
- 6:11
Kada pogledamo situaciju, vidjet ćemo da rezultati nisu takvi da su muslimani gornji, dominantni, dostojanstveni, da nisu ponosni i tako dalje. Međutim, nema sumnje da mi, u stvari, ne kasnimo za Zapadom, kako to neko hoće da kaže – mi kasnimo za islamom, to jest podaleko smo se udaljili od naše vjere i našeg uspjeha.
- 6:36
U jednom jezgrovitom hadisu, kao univerzalnom pravilu naše vjere, koje nam donosi da budemo dostojanstveni po pitanju dunjaluka, Poslanik, alejhis-selam, kaže, kako je to došlo u hadisu kod Buharije – kaže Poslanik, alejhis-selam: „Gornja ruka je bolja od donje.“
- 7:05
I sam nastavlja govor i tumači svoje riječi, pa kaže: „Gornja ruka je ona koja udjeljuje, daje, a donja ruka je ona koja uzima i prihvata.“ Od nas se traži – vjera na to podstiče, Allah nam to naređuje – da budemo vrijedni, časni i radni kada je u pitanju dunjaluk. Da prema Allahu imamo odnos poniznosti, skromnosti, skrušenosti, robovanja, ali da jedni prema drugima, prema ostalim stvorenjima, imamo ravnopravne odnose.
- 7:45
Da se kičma ne savija pred stvorenjem, već samo pred Stvoriteljem. Ovo ne znači da ne trebamo biti blagi, dobročinitelji, fini, ali znači, braćo moja, da islam potencira od svojih robova da budu prijatelji, ne poltroni; da budu braća, a ne podanici; da budu na istoj ravni, ne ulizice i robovi i tako dalje.
- 8:11
Zbog toga i ova stvar nam jasno osvjetljava da se od vjernika traži, od svih ljudi bez izuzetka, ko god je u mogućnosti, da bude radni, vrijedni Allahov rob, da živi od rada svojih ruku, da zaradi, doprinese, ojača sebe i svoju porodicu prije svega, pa onda da koristi svojoj zajednici.
- 8:41
Nije vjernik pravi, nije potpuni vjernik onaj koji ove stvari uzima i prihvata olahko: „Može krevet do 12, nek da babo pare za čaršiju, nek je meni fino, ne moram ja ništa, mogu ja biti ta donja ruka koja uzima i prihvata, super je meni, olahko.“
- 9:07
Vjernik, kakav god posao da treba da nađe i da ne može drugi, bolji, to treba da bude njegov cilj, i treba da bude od onih koji su prema Allahu otvoreni, direktni, da se ne libi halal posla. Kaže Poslanik, alejhis-salatu ves-selam, u hadisu kod Buharije: da čovjek uzme uže i da ode na kakvo brdo, da natovari breme drva, pa da siđe i to proda, pa da time nahrani sebe i svoju porodicu, bolje mu je nego da traži od svijeta – hoće li mu dati ili će mu uskratiti.
- 9:47
Vjernik se ne libi halal posla. Ako on podrazumijeva znoj na 40 stepeni, ili rad po kiši, ili ovo ili ono, a halal je, i nema bolje i nema ljepše, vjernik treba da to prihvati objeručke. I da zna da je tako, ako je dostojanstven, ako je od ljudi neovisan, već živi od svojih ruku, da je Allahov dobri rob, da je Allahov pokorni rob, da mu je takav rad, gdje je on neovisan,
- 10:18
i častan, i čedan, i pošten, i karakteran, i dostojanstven, kod Allaha ibadet, kod Allaha dobro djelo. Kaže Poslanik, alejhis-salatu ves-selam, u [nejasno] hadisu kod Muslima: četiri dinara. Kaže: dinar koji udijeliš na Allahovom putu,
- 10:35
i dinar kojim oslobodiš roba, i dinar koji udijeliš miskinu, i dinar koji udijeliš na svoju porodicu. Šta mislite, koji je najvredniji? Kaže: najvredniji dinar je onaj koji udijeliš na svoju porodicu.
- 10:51
Najvredniji dinar. Ovo jasno oslikava šta vjera traži od nas: da budemo ljudine, da budemo muškarčine, da imamo obraza i da nakon toga idemo za halal opskrbom. Da idemo za halal opskrbom.
- 11:09
Međutim, braćo moja, ova gornja ruka, koja se traži da budemo – da mi budemo ti koji doprinosimo, dajemo, udjeljujemo – je uvjetovana jednom veoma bitnom stvari, a to je da ta gornja ruka bude na halal imetku.
- 11:30
Nema nikakvog dobra, nema nikakvog ugleda, niti berićeta, niti časti, niti slave, niti slasti u onome koji zarađuje na haram način. Makar nakon toga čuješ: „Vallahi, udijelio, dao, doprinio, stipendirao, pomogao, napravio, vakufio“ – džaba, braćo moja, vallahi džaba, braćo moja. Haram imetak Allah ne prima. Možda to što je udijelio i dao od svog haram imetka, eto, možda se je očistio, da nije toliki haram pri njemu, ali nagrade kao nagrade od Allaha nema. Kaže Poslanik, alejhis-salatu ves-selam, u hadisu kod Buharije, u hadisu kod Muslima,
- 12:12
kaže: „Doista je Allah čist i ne prima osim ono što je čisto.“ Na kraju ovog hadisa, braćo moja, Poslanik, alejhis-salatu ves-selam, spominje jednog čovjeka – čovjeka koji je prljav i prašnjav, koji je od dugog putovanja umoran,
- 12:33
koji podiže ruke ka Allahu i kaže: „Ja Rabbi, ja Rabbi“ – dovi Allahu u iskušenju, u nedaći, u stanju u kojem Allah obično prima dove. Ali kaže Poslanik: njegovo piće od harama, njegova hrana od harama, njegova odjeća od harama, othranjen je na haramu – kaže, pa kako da mu se Allah odazove?
- 13:00
„Kako da mu se Allah odazove?“ – ova rečenica mora biti alarm u našim životima, da dobro provjerimo i dobro pripazimo odakle nama dolazi imetak. Je li on čist, ili je možda uprljan, umazan, haram?
- 13:20
Pa da možda, kao što nekad to čujem u našim muhabetima, čovjek ima, i vozi, koristi, oblači, sve elhamdulillah, međutim nema neke slasti. Nema nekog berićeta, nema neke sreće. Nek provjeri je li njegov imetak stopostotno siguran.
- 13:40
Pa od vjernika se traži da bude gornja ruka. Ali ako to može u halalu; ako ne može u halalu, braćo moja, bolje mu je i časnije da živi ko prosjak, pa i da bude ta donja ruka, nešto od poniženja i [nejasno] na ovom svijetu, ali da ne ode u onu crvenu zonu, onaj haram imetak.
- 14:02
Posebno, braćo moja, danas je borba za halal imetak velika borba i veliki džihad. Danas je takvo vrijeme da je haram imetak mnogo lako dostupan. Da nekada i sistem države i zakoni te tjeraju da nešto smutiš, prevariš, slažeš, okreneš i tako dalje.
- 14:25
Lakše je tako živjeti. Onaj koji se danas trudi da bude samo na halalu, pazi odakle, poboji se: „Neću ja, to nije mi sigurno ovako“ – uglavnom živi teškim, vallahi teškim životom. Kao da drži žeravicu: peče ga, a ne smije da je pusti.
- 14:40
S druge strane, ovo je vrijeme koje je Poslanik najavio, u hadisu kod Buharije, kada je rekao: „Doći će ljudima vrijeme kada neće mariti odakle im dolazi imetak“ – halal ili haram, ne mari. Bitno nek dođe, bitno nek legne na račun, uđe, sve je to ostalo dobro.
- 15:02
I nažalost, nekada imamo ljudi koji su i vjernici, koji su možda i džematlije, pa možda i neka umra, možda i neki hadž, međutim, kada čuješ koliko se lahko ophodi prema tome kako mu dolazi imetak, kaže: „Pa svi to rade, država je takva, šta ti tu sad govoriš, zbog čega ti tu nešto pametuješ?“
- 15:29
Međutim, to kod Allaha nije opravdanje. Ovo kod Allaha nije opravdanje – vallahi, da sve hadžije i hodže, i muftije, imami, hafizi, učitelji, svi kradu i lažu, a kamoli ostali – to nama ne smije da bude dokaz, da kažem: „Pa oni to rade [nejasno].“
- 15:49
Ne, ne… Svako je u svoj grob, svako je u svoj kabur, i svako će ponaosob razgovarati sa Allahom bez posrednika i prevodioca, pa će biti pitan za ono što radi. Pa će biti pitan za ono što radi. Danas vrlo lako se nađe da čovjek živi lagodnim životom.
- 16:10
Vidiš ga, da ima neki posao, radi, i ovo i ono. Međutim, kaže: „Vallahi, sredio sam sebi još neko primanje, kao da ja to nešto, da sam malo bolestan, ili psihički ili fizički, eto, nešto mi je to sredio. Neku socijalu sam ugrabio, nešto sam ja to završio. Auto prepisao na nekog drugog da se to ne vodi na mene, nešto sam ja smutio“, i kaže mi: „Ja uživam u životu, dvije plate.“
- 16:31
Možeš li prevariti čovjeka, vallahi, i državni sistem – nije problem. Međutim, ne možeš prevariti sam sebe. Ako objektivno, pošteno i direktno propitaš, kao što je Poslanik rekao, da propitaš svoje srce, vidjet ćeš: „Vallahi, ja sam slagao. Ja sam, vallahi, to malo smutio.
- 16:48
Ja sam nekoga prevario. Ja sam potpisao ono što nije istina“, i tako dalje i tako dalje. Nećeš prevariti sam sebe. Allah, tebareke ve te'ala, kaže: čovjek sam sebe najbolje poznaje, makar on rekao nekome [nejasno] – on sebe zna najbolje.
- 17:12
On sebe zna najviše. Zbog toga, braćo moja, čovjek danas posebno treba da bude Allahov pravi, istinski vjernik, Njegov rob, mudžahid koji se trudi po svaku cijenu da jedan dinar harama ne dođe – preko laži, prevare, preko mita, preko ovoga ili onoga.
- 17:36
Ako imaš pravo na nešto što država daje, ili pojedinac, ili institucije, ili udruženje, ili humanitarno, šta god, kako god – imaš pravo, ispunjavaš uvjete – ako hoćeš, uzmi, nije problem, bit ćeš donja ruka, ali uzmi ako hoćeš. Međutim, ako nemaš pravo, ako znaš da to dolazi na ovaj ili onaj način, nemoj sebi dozvoliti, zbog dodatnih 200, 300, 500, 1.000 eura, pa i više i manje, da se brukaš i pred Allahom, tebareke ve te'ala, i da se ponižavaš.
- 18:05
Danas ćeš možda imati neke svoje svjedoke, možda ćeš imati neke svoje saradnike, imat ćeš neke svoje veze, imat ćeš neke svoje prijatelje i leđa, međutim, doći ćeš na Sudnji dan. Onda, kad Allah, tebareke ve te'ala, dadne da se zapečate naša usta i naše oči, i da govore naša koža i naše ruke i noge, naši udovi, da govore Allahu i da svjedoče i za nas, nažalost, bogami, i protiv nas, ako ima šta.
- 18:36
Zbog toga Allaha molimo da nas učini od onih koji žive časnim, čestitim, poštenim životom. Allaha molimo da nam podari snage da, makar svi koristili neke harame, da mi sami sa sobom, pred Allahom stanemo i kažemo: „Gospodaru, ja ovo neću, zbog Tebe, radi Tvog zadovoljstva, radi nagrade u Džennetu, radi toga što si mi propisao da ovo ne smijem da uzmem.“
- 19:01
Allaha, tebareke ve te'ala, molimo da nam oprosti naše slabosti i grijehe i propuste. Njega molimo da nas u Džennet uvede, nas, naše porodice, sve muslimane. Allaha na kraju molimo da pomogne islam i muslimane, posebno one potlačene, gdje god oni bili. Allaha molimo da nas učini gornjima, pobjednicima, dostojanstvenima. Allaha, tebareke ve te'ala, molimo za uputu, molimo za milost, molimo za Džennet. Amin.

Indeed, all praise belongs to Allah; we seek His help, the Exalted, and ask His forgiveness and guidance. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and from our bad deeds. Whomever Allah guides is rightly guided, and whomever He leaves astray – those are the losers (cf. Al-A'raf 7:178). I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, Who has no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant, His beloved, His close friend and His chosen one among His creation. He fulfilled the trust, conveyed the message, gave sincere counsel to the ummah – through him Allah removed the gloom – and strove for Allah as He deserves, until certainty (death) came to him. May Allah bless him and all the companions, and those who follow him in excellence and tread in his footsteps until the Day of Judgement.
- 0:49
أَلَا إِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْكَلَامِ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ، وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا
Indeed, the truest speech is the speech of Allah, the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, peace be upon him, and the worst of matters are the newly invented ones (from a hadith, Muslim).
- 1:00
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ
“O you who believe, fear Allah as He deserves to be feared, and do not die except as Muslims.” (Al Imran 3:102)
- 1:08
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا ثُمَّ أَمَّا بَعْدُ
“O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul, created from it its mate and spread from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the ties of kinship. Indeed, Allah is ever watchful over you.” (An-Nisa 4:1). To proceed:
- 1:29
The greatest praise and thanks belong to the Lord of the worlds. We send the most beautiful and most complete blessings and greetings of peace upon His best servant who ever walked this Earth, the seal of all the prophets and our model in goodness, Muhammad, alayhis-salatu was-salam (peace and blessings be upon him),
- 1:46
upon his noble family, his virtuous companions, and all the believers who steadfastly walk the path of truth until the Day of Judgment. Amin. We bear witness that there is no true deity worthy of worship except Allah, tabaraka wa ta'ala (blessed and exalted is He), and we bear witness that Muhammad, alayhis-salam, is His servant and final Messenger.
- 2:08
In Allah, tabaraka wa ta'ala, we seek refuge from the evil of our souls and from our bad deeds. Of Him we ask guidance and mercy, in His Jannah (Paradise) we hope, of His Jahannam (Hellfire) we are afraid. Whomever the Exalted leaves astray, no one besides Him can show him the Straight Path, and whomever the Exalted grants the light of guidance, that guidance suffices him for complete victory and complete success both in this world and in the world to come.
- 2:39
My respected brothers, esteemed members of this beautiful, fine and new congregation, there is no doubt that the guidance of Muhammad, alayhis-salam, is the most complete guidance, and there is no doubt that he, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam (peace be upon him), lived the most complete, the best, the most dignified life that a man, a human being, can live.
- 3:05
And he conveyed that guidance of his to his companions, so that it would reach us. He taught them to be chaste, honorable, brave, to be diligent, to be hardworking, independent.
- 3:24
Because for a person to succeed and to be a good servant of Allah, he must conduct himself according to these instructions and these guidelines. And since Allah created us and we are His product, there is no doubt that He knows best which instructions we should follow, and if we follow them, we will have succeeded, we will be on top, prevailing, both in this world and in the world to come.
- 3:51
The Prophet himself, my brothers, longed for and asked Allah to make him a man on top, proud, successful and dignified. Well known is his supplication which the Prophet often used and recited.
- 4:10
A supplication recorded by Muslim in his “Sahih”, that the Prophet, alayhis-salatu was-salam, said: “Allahumma inni as'aluka al-huda wat-tuqa wal-'afafa wal-ghina.” O my Allah, I ask You for guidance, and piety, and chastity, and self-sufficiency. Four things.
- 4:32
And like all prophetic speech – with few words it says much, or rather, it says everything – these four things, my brothers, encompass everything that is good and everything we need in order to achieve complete success and prevalence, and to be servants of Allah who are on top, both with regard to this world and with regard to the Hereafter.
- 4:57
As for the Hereafter, it is clear: the one who enters the religion fully, who accepts the religion completely, conducts himself by Allah's guidelines, will live a good life, because Allah revealed and decreed that when He said: “Whoever does good, whether male or female, while being a believer, We will surely cause him to live a good life,
- 5:24
and on the Day of Judgment We will reward them according to the best of what they used to do.” So here is a promise of two rewards, both worldly and otherworldly. However, this transient material world too, this dunya, has been left for us to be vicegerents in it.
- 5:46
To be on top, to be dignified. Not to be despised, not to be humiliated, not to be at the bottom. That is why the believer who holds fast to the religion will surely succeed in this. And it is in this that we should look for today's answers about the condition of Muslims, both in the world and locally.
- 6:11
When we look at the situation, we will see that the results are not such that Muslims are on top, prevailing, dignified; that they are not proud, and so on. However, there is no doubt that we, in fact, are not lagging behind the West, as some would like to say – we are lagging behind Islam, that is, we have strayed rather far from our religion and our success.
- 6:36
In a concise hadith, as a universal rule of our religion, which brings us to be dignified with regard to this world, the Prophet, alayhis-salam, says, as it came in the hadith in Bukhari – the Prophet, alayhis-salam, says: “The upper hand is better than the lower hand.”
- 7:05
And he himself continues the speech and explains his words, saying: “The upper hand is the one that gives, that bestows, and the lower hand is the one that takes and receives.” What is asked of us – the religion encourages it, Allah commands it of us – is that we be diligent, honorable and hardworking when it comes to this world. That toward Allah we have a relationship of humility, modesty, submissiveness and servitude, but that toward one another, toward other creatures, we have relationships of equality.
- 7:45
That the spine does not bend before a creature, but only before the Creator. This does not mean that we should not be gentle, benevolent, kind, but it means, my brothers, that Islam emphasizes that its servants should be friends, not sycophants; that they should be brothers, not subjects; that they should be on the same level, not flatterers and slaves, and so on.
- 8:11
That is why this matter also clearly illuminates for us that what is asked of the believer, of all people without exception, whoever is able, is to be a hardworking, diligent servant of Allah, to live from the work of his own hands, to earn, to contribute, to strengthen himself and his family first of all, and then to benefit his community.
- 8:41
He is not a true believer, not a complete believer, who takes these things and accepts them lightly: “I can stay in bed till noon, let Dad give me money for going out in town, as long as I'm comfortable, I don't have to do anything, I can be that lower hand that takes and receives, it's great for me, easy.”
- 9:07
The believer, whatever job he has to find, if he cannot find another, better one, that should be his goal, and he should be among those who are open and direct toward Allah, not shying away from halal work. The Prophet, alayhis-salatu was-salam, says in a hadith in Bukhari: that a man takes a rope and goes to some hill, loads up a bundle of firewood, then comes down and sells it, and thereby feeds himself and his family, is better for him than asking people – whether they will give him or refuse him.
- 9:47
The believer does not shy away from halal work. If it means sweating at 40 degrees, or working in the rain, or this or that, but it is halal, and there is nothing better and nothing nicer, the believer should accept it with both hands. And he should know that this way, if he is dignified, if he is independent of people and lives from his own hands, he is a good servant of Allah, an obedient servant of Allah, and that such work of his, in which he is independent,
- 10:18
and honorable, and chaste, and honest, and of good character, and dignified, is with Allah an act of worship, with Allah a good deed. The Prophet, alayhis-salatu was-salam, says in [unclear] a hadith in Muslim: four dinars. He says: a dinar that you spend in the way of Allah,
- 10:35
and a dinar with which you free a slave, and a dinar that you give to a poor person, and a dinar that you spend on your family. What do you think, which is the most valuable? He says: the most valuable dinar is the one you spend on your family.
- 10:51
The most valuable dinar. This clearly shows what the religion asks of us: to be decent people, to be real men, to have honor, and then to go after halal provision. To go after halal provision.
- 11:09
However, my brothers, this upper hand, which we are asked to be – that we be the ones who contribute, give, bestow – is conditioned by one very important thing, and that is that this upper hand be upon halal wealth.
- 11:30
There is no good at all, no reputation at all, no barakah (blessing), no honor, no glory, no sweetness in the one who earns in a haram way. Even if afterwards you hear: “Wallahi, he donated, gave, contributed, gave scholarships, helped, built, endowed a waqf” – in vain, my brothers, wallahi in vain, my brothers. Allah does not accept haram wealth. Perhaps by what he donated and gave from his haram wealth, well, perhaps he cleansed himself, so that there is not so much haram with him, but there is no reward as such from Allah. The Prophet, alayhis-salatu was-salam, says in a hadith in Bukhari, in a hadith in Muslim,
- 12:12
he says: “Indeed, Allah is pure and accepts only what is pure.” At the end of this hadith, my brothers, the Prophet, alayhis-salatu was-salam, mentions a man – a man who is dirty and dusty, who is tired from a long journey,
- 12:33
who raises his hands toward Allah and says: “Ya Rabbi, ya Rabbi” – supplicating to Allah in trial, in hardship, in a state in which Allah usually accepts supplications. But the Prophet says: his drink is from haram, his food is from haram, his clothing is from haram, he has been nourished on haram – he says, so how can Allah respond to him?
- 13:00
“How can Allah respond to him?” – this sentence must be an alarm in our lives, so that we check well and pay close attention to where our wealth comes from. Is it pure, or is it perhaps soiled, smeared, haram?
- 13:20
So that perhaps, as I sometimes hear in our conversations, a person has, and drives, uses, wears, everything alhamdulillah, but there is no sweetness. There is no barakah, there is no happiness. Let him check whether his wealth is one hundred percent safe.
- 13:40
So the believer is asked to be the upper hand. But if he can do so in the halal; if he cannot in the halal, my brothers, it is better and more honorable for him to live like a beggar, and even to be that lower hand, with something of humiliation and [unclear] in this world, but not to go into that red zone, that haram wealth.
- 14:02
Especially, my brothers, today the struggle for halal wealth is a great struggle and a great jihad. Today the times are such that haram wealth is very easily accessible. That sometimes even the state system and the laws push you to fiddle something, to cheat, to lie, to twist things, and so on.
- 14:25
It is easier to live like that. The one who strives today to be only on the halal, watches where it comes from, is afraid: “I won't, this is not safe for me like this” – generally lives a hard, wallahi a hard life. As if he is holding a live coal: it burns him, but he must not let it go.
- 14:40
On the other hand, this is the time the Prophet foretold, in a hadith in Bukhari, when he said: “A time will come to people when they will not care where their wealth comes from” – halal or haram, he doesn't care. What matters is that it comes, what matters is that it lands in the account, comes in, all the rest is fine.
- 15:02
And unfortunately, sometimes we have people who are believers, who are perhaps even regular members of the congregation, and perhaps even some umrah, perhaps even some hajj, but when you hear how lightly he treats the way his wealth comes to him, he says: “Well, everyone does it, that's how the state is, what are you talking about now, why are you lecturing here?”
- 15:29
However, that is not an excuse with Allah. This is not an excuse with Allah – wallahi, even if all the hajjis and imams, and muftis, imams, hafizes, teachers, all stole and lied, let alone everyone else – that must not be proof for us, so that I say: “Well, they do it [unclear].”
- 15:49
No, no… Each goes into his own grave, each into his own qabr, and each will speak to Allah individually, without intermediary or interpreter, and will be asked about what he does. And he will be asked about what he does. Today it is very easy to find a person living a comfortable life.
- 16:10
You see him, he has some job, he works, and this and that. But he says: “Wallahi, I've arranged some extra income for myself, as if I'm somehow a bit ill, either mentally or physically, well, I've arranged that. I grabbed some welfare benefit, I got that sorted. I transferred the car to someone else so it's not registered in my name, I fiddled something,” and he tells me: “I'm enjoying life, two salaries.”
- 16:31
You can deceive a man, wallahi, and the state system – no problem. But you cannot deceive yourself. If you question yourself objectively, honestly and directly, as the Prophet said, if you consult your heart, you will see: “Wallahi, I lied. Wallahi, I fiddled that a bit.
- 16:48
I deceived someone. I signed something that is not true,” and so on and so on. You will not deceive yourself. Allah, tabaraka wa ta'ala, says: a person knows himself best, even if he says to someone [unclear] – he knows himself best.
- 17:12
He knows himself most. That is why, my brothers, a person today especially should be Allah's real, true believer, His servant, a mujahid who strives at any cost that not a single dinar of haram comes to him – through lies, deceit, bribery, through this or that.
- 17:36
If you have a right to something that the state gives, or an individual, or institutions, or an association, or a charity, whatever, however – you have the right, you meet the conditions – if you want, take it, no problem, you will be the lower hand, but take it if you want. However, if you have no right, if you know that it comes in this or that way, do not allow yourself, for an extra 200, 300, 500, 1,000 euros, or more or less, to disgrace yourself before Allah, tabaraka wa ta'ala, and to humiliate yourself.
- 18:05
Today you may have some witnesses of your own, perhaps you will have some collaborators of your own, you will have some connections of your own, you will have some friends and backing of your own, but you will come to the Day of Judgment. Then, when Allah, tabaraka wa ta'ala, causes our mouths and our eyes to be sealed, and our skin and our hands and feet, our limbs, to speak, to speak to Allah and to testify both for us and, unfortunately, by Allah, against us, if there is anything.
- 18:36
That is why we ask Allah to make us among those who live an honorable, upright, honest life. We ask Allah to grant us strength so that, even if everyone made use of some haram, we, alone with ourselves, stand before Allah and say: “My Lord, I will not take this, for Your sake, for Your pleasure, for the reward in Jannah, because You have decreed for me that I must not take this.”
- 19:01
We ask Allah, tabaraka wa ta'ala, to forgive us our weaknesses, sins and shortcomings. We ask Him to admit us into Jannah, us, our families, all Muslims. Finally, we ask Allah to help Islam and the Muslims, especially the oppressed, wherever they may be. We ask Allah to make us on top, victorious, dignified. We ask Allah, tabaraka wa ta'ala, for guidance, we ask for mercy, we ask for Jannah. Amin.
