Being Happy with What Allah Chose for Us: A Sermon on Divine Decree and Equality
Hazrat Qari Ismail Desai Saheb
Duration
18:26
Summary
We must understand that many aspects of our lives, such as our existence, parents, gender, lineage, nationality, and particularly our skin color, are all determined by Allah, not by our own choice.
No one's skin color or background makes them inherently better or worse than anyone else in the sight of Allah.
Historical periods like apartheid illustrate the severe injustice of discrimination based on skin color, which contradicts Islamic teachings.
It is a grave error to find fault with or disparage someone based on physical attributes or origin that Allah has chosen for them.
Using offensive language, derogatory terms, or nicknames related to a person's color, ethnicity, or language is a serious sin.
Muslims should cultivate an attitude of contentment with what Allah has decreed for them and avoid any feelings of superiority or inferiority based on these non-chosen aspects.
We are urged to be extremely cautious and mindful of our words, ensuring they do not offend anyone, Muslim or non-Muslim, regarding their appearance or background.
