Because they don't have the brain. 60 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000 To them they cannot see that this person is right and this is wrong. 61 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Because they have nourished that brain with that which is prohibited. 62 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000 The reason why we believe this is in order for us to realize the importance of 63 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000 clinging very solidly to that which is permissible and full of blessings. 64 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000 And this is why we say there is a lot to be learned when it comes to business ethics. 65 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000 We are supposed to be the most upright, very clear. 66 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Imagine when we are selling a motor vehicle, a true believer. 67 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000 We would be saying, you know what? I've made an accident. 68 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000 It was damaged here. 69 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000 The car looks brand new. It is a beautiful vehicle, 70 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000 I need to tell you the three defects it has. 71 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Here you are, if you want it, take it if you don't want it, leave it. 72 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000 That's a true believer. 73 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Whereas you have a person whom I claim to believe, 74 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000 saying, no, nothing wrong, no accident, no, nothing beautiful car. 75 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000 It was better for that person to say, 76 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 here's the vehicle, look at it nicely. 77 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000 If you like it, take it if you don't leave it. 78 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 That's even a better statement than that. 79 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000 So we need to choose. 80 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000 And the result of it will be either. 81 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000 We are blessed or we lose blessings. 82 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 The choice is yours. 83 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 My beloved brothers and sisters, in Islam, 84 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 earning and using dirty money, wealth. 85 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Optane through haram means, 86 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000 has severe spiritual and worldly consequences. 87 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 According to Islamic teachings, 88 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000 wealth gained through illegal or unethical sources, 89 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000 such as bribery, fraud, gambling, 90 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000 or interest, is not only sinful, 91 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000 but also, 92 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000 gains, wants character and spiritual state. 93 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized that, 94 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Allah does not accept prayers or acts of worship 95 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,000 from those who nourish themselves with haram income. 96 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000 This impure wealth becomes a barrier between a person 97 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000 and the acceptance of their deeds, 98 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000 disconnecting them from Allah's mercy. 99 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Additionally, dirty money can have a negative impact 100 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000 on one's family and future generations. 101 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Islam teaches that wealth used to support 102 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000 one's family must come from haram, 103 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000 permissible sources. 104 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Providing for your family with haram income 105 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000 is considered a great sin. 106 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000 As it affects their sustenance 107 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 and can lead to long-term consequences. 108 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Children raised on such earnings, 109 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000 men unknowingly be affected both morally and spiritually. 110 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000 The blessings in the families wealth 111 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 and life will also be removed, 112 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000 leading to hardship despite the apparent financial abundance. 113 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Moreover, engaging in activities that lead to haram earnings, 114 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000 corrupt society at large, 115 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Islam stresses the importance of justice, fairness, 116 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000 and honesty in all business dealings. 117 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,000 When individuals choose to pursue wealth through unethical means, 118 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000 they contribute to the spread of corruption, 119 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000 inequality, and dishonesty in the community. 120 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,000 This in turn undermines the values of trust and cooperation 121 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000 that are central to a healthy, functional society. 122 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000 A society that thrives on dirty money 123 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:09,000 is bound to face moral decay and social unrest. 124 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,000 Ultimately, Islam teaches that wealth should be earned 125 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000 through lawful and righteous means, 126 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000 as it is attest from Allah. 127 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 While dirty money may seem like a quick solution 128 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000 to financial struggles, 129 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000 it only leads to long-term harm 130 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000 both in this world and the hair after. 131 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000 Those who engage in it risk their place in Janna 132 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,000 as their ill-gotten wealth will only serve as a source of punishment 133 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:50,000 unless the sincerely repent and turn towards halal ways of earning. 134 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 So, your brothers and sisters, 135 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000 work hard to earn halal money and stay away 136 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000 from haram money, no matter how tempting it is 137 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000 and how easy it is or how abundant it is. 138 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000 When you earn halal, Allah SWT will give baraka 139 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000 will give happiness will give mercy will give blessings in your life 140 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000 and Allah will decorate your life with peace, 141 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000 serenity and tranquility. 142 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Huzbiyam Allah SWT will give happiness 143 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000 and bless every child with his blessings. 144 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Huzbiyam Allah SWT will give happiness 145 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000 and bless every child with his blessings. 146 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Huzbiyam Allah SWT will give happiness 147 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000 and bless every child with his blessings. 148 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Huzbiyam Allah SWT will give happiness 149 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000 and bless every child with his blessings. 150 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Huzbiyam Allah SWT will give happiness 151 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000 and bless every child with his blessings. 152 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Huzbiyam Allah SWT will give happiness 153 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:36,000 and bless every child with his blessings.
