In this episode, we discuss a video that has been going viral on YouTube, in which a man says that if you don't pray, you are better off in the eyes of Allah than those who do. Is this correct or not?
00:00:00.000He commits all of these sins on a daily basis, but he prays is better in the eyes of Allah than the one that doesn't commit any of these sins, but doesn't pray.
00:00:10.200If heaven or God truly operate in this way, send me to hell.
00:00:14.500This is a message, inshallah, to clarify things. Now, he did not say.
00:00:21.780The main goal of a mentor is to pass on the energy of a win.
00:00:25.440Those chosen by a mentor have the capability to harness this energy.
00:00:33.460Brilla, power for your greatest fight.
00:00:36.560As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:39.500So, basically, there's this video going viral on two YouTubers, their names Abba and Preach.
00:00:45.220So, they've reacted to a video of Mohamed Hoblos, a short clip that's been going quite viral.
00:00:48.960A lot of people, obviously, did not understand what he meant.
00:00:51.960I'm going to clarify that, inshallah, and I don't totally blame these individuals.
00:00:54.740I don't think they come from a hostile place.
00:00:56.360It's their first impressions of Islam, maybe.
00:00:58.320And it's like, whoa, it's too much to take.
00:01:00.780And that's the reason why Ali radiAllahu alaihi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi wa rahmatullahi.
00:03:30.140We believe God Almighty deserves worship because of who he is, not because of what he does for us or the blessings that we have in our life.
00:03:37.200So, for example, if I come and say, to give an example of how bad it is to, argument's sake, rape or grape a child,
00:03:46.240let's put it that way, or sexually abuse a child.
00:03:48.800Then I give an example and say, you know, if you went and murdered somebody or murdered your mum,
00:03:53.140raped your mum, killed your mum, burnt your mum, then went and did the same to your brother and your sister,
00:03:58.740and this, that, that is not worse as doing it to a child.
00:04:01.480This does not mean that, for example, they are, it's better, it's better for you to do this, but just don't do that.
00:04:08.740No, it's to show the severity of how bad this is.
00:04:12.240And of course, it's a gruesome example, but this does not mean or equate that he meant that, yeah, you can do that stuff.
00:04:18.040No, because in Islam, it's very clear that there's God's rights and there's human beings' rights.
00:04:21.820That's why many of the companions or many of the salaf would say that we would rather stand in front of God with 70 sins between us and God,
00:04:29.360a violation we did against God, rather than one sin that we have violated and wronged somebody's rights.
00:04:34.020In Islam, the rights of an individual is very, very severe.
00:04:37.160So many, so much so that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, refused funeral prayer on an individual who didn't pay his debt to somebody.
00:04:44.400So we know that on the day of judgment, a person who has violated the rights of somebody else
00:04:48.840will not go into paradise until they've sorted that issue out.
00:04:52.900So it's not just a matter of, oh, if you just pray and do one of the things, it's okay.
00:04:57.040It could come across like that, but that's not what he's saying.
00:05:00.100He's saying that to not worship God is far severe than anything you can do, any kind of evil.
00:05:05.560I would personally say any evil that you can think, not praying to God is far worse.
00:07:58.620If heaven or God truly operated this way, send me to hell.
00:08:04.180If you could truly go by your day and force yourself on children, and as long as you pray five times, you're doing good, I don't want to be.
00:08:28.440Because every person is going to be accountable.
00:08:30.340There might be a Muslim who praises prayer, who fasts in Ramadan, who gives in charity, who goes to pilgrimage, who does all of these goodies, etc.
00:08:37.880But if he has violated people's rights, we have a clear description that there's punishment in the grave, there's question on the day of judgment, and there will be some Muslims who will end up in the hellfire.
