My brothers and sisters, guidance is not only for the wealthy

0:27.8

and it's not only for a specific category of people. Guidance is from Allah for all.

0:33.8

Those who take it and those who want it, those who search for it, those who try hard

0:40.0

to look for it, those who pray to the Almighty to guide them, they will be rightly guided by the will of Allah Almighty.

0:47.3

But those who have within their systems arrogance and pride, Allah doesn't like to guide those who are proud and arrogant,

0:55.3

those who feel superior to others, Allah says we don't like to guide those who are arrogant.

1:03.3

But at the same time, we have examples in the Quran in Revelation that prove that even at the time of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

1:13.3

he was told by the Horti of Makkah, by the ruling class of Makkah, we would have followed you if these people

1:23.3

who used to be our workers and slaves are chased away. If they are not part of your followers, then we wouldn't follow you.

2:13.3

As-Tel's Muhammad Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam do not chase them away. Don't chase them away.

2:19.3

Yes, you are being asked to chase them away so that these big boys can actually come in. Allah says, no, we don't need them.

2:28.3

This is what is right. These people deserve the closeness to you and the closeness to us.

2:35.3

They have been striving for long, they have endured, they have borne patience, they've lost a lot as a result of them

2:42.3

doing the right thing in terms of worship. So do you really think Allah Almighty would have allowed for us to drive these people away, not at all?

2:52.3

And the same applies to most of the prophets. They were told, look, we would have followed you but we don't like the type of people who follow you, they are low, low, you know.

3:03.3

You take a look at religion. Religion is from Allah Almighty if you think because the people following the truth are perhaps low income like I said, or perhaps they are poor, or they are downtrodden, they are not on my level of eliteness in society, then the loss is yours.
