The Good & Filthy Are Not The Same á´´á´° - Sheikh Nouman Ali Khan 

Asalaamu Alaikum 

In this ayah, this is the hundredth ayah of Surah Al-Mā'idah - This is the 7th juz, alhamudlillah, in which Allah commands His prophet to say, 'قُل لَّا يَسْتَوِي الْخَبِيثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ' (Qul Lā Yastawī Al-Khabīthu Wa Aţ-Ţayyibu) -- the filthy and the good and pure are not equal. They are not equal. The first thing to notice, Allah didn't just say the filthy and the good are not equal, He told the Prophet to say it. Because the Prophet (ﷺ) will be the representative of Allah determining what is good and what is filthy and what is, you know, what is acceptable and what's not acceptable. So the Muslims have to stay on point and understand that, that standard will be the Prophet himself (ﷺ). A lot of times in this discussion, we say society will decide. Society will decide what's normal and what's not, what is filthy and what's good, what's acceptable and what's unacceptable and the line keeps changing, right? So every few years, what used to be unacceptable before is totally acceptable. So you know in the entertainment industry, what used to be rated R became PG13 and became PG and it's like fine now and it was completely unacceptable, maybe 50 years ago. But standards change. So how far do you take the standards? Where do you draw the line? The Prophet (ﷺ) has been authorized by Allah to draw that line. That's one of the purposes he's there. And so. 'tell them, the filthy and the good are not the same.'

'وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ كَثْرَةُ الْخَبِيثِ' (Wa Law 'A`jabaka Kathratu Al-Khabīthi) -- check this out, 'even if the multitude of filth impresses you.' Even if it's got you dazzled. Meaning, filth will be plenty and it's gonna be everywhere and you're going to say, 'everybody's doing it, everybody talks like that. What are you talking about, chill out man, why do you have to be weird?' Because weird is that which is rare, strange. Unacceptable is that which is uncommon. And what's common is acceptable. So Allah says filth will become acceptable, but no matter how acceptable it becomes and how common it becomes in society, you can't forget that filth and good and pure things will never be equal. What is wrong will remain wrong even if all your friends are up to it. Even if it's everywhere you turn you see it. It won't make it right. 'وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ كَثْرَةُ الْخَبِيثِ' (Wa Law 'A`jabaka Kathratu Al-Khabīthi).
