#Materialismis taking over very fast. People really are following the latest of everything. we are drowning with that; cut it, that’s a sign of the anger of Allah .if that wealth came with the #arrogance of karun, it is a punishment and if it came with the obedience of Suleiman (as) it is actually the mercy of Allah. Be happy with what Allah has given you.
“Don’t rush behind that when you get too attached to something and it is coming between you and Allah and your heart is beginning to love it so much that it’s now getting between you and Allah , cut it. – #MuftiMenk
What’s the whispering of the devil? You hear it in your mind. It comes and contaminates your system. Your thinking becomes clouded.
So Allah tells you, every day, fulfill your prayers. The devil will come to all of you and try to protect yourself.
And if you fall into committing something that Allah has declared prohibited, immediately seek the forgiveness of Allah without trying to justify your deed.
Allah says, watch out for Satan. He’s always been jealous of you. He’s always been problematic and be careful that he does not influence you.
Unfortunately, you know what happens with all of us. We allow them into our close circle and we listen to them and they begin to influence us.
They make us hate those who are good sometimes simply because they’ve conned us about who those people are.
How many times do people who don’t know you hate you simply because someone told them something about you and they haven’t even breathed the same air that you’ve breathed, meaning they haven’t even come close to you. You already hated a person because of this preconceived idea.
Allah has created within you and I an inclination towards wealth. But He warns us to not allow your love for wealth to increase or to overseed the love that you have for Me, to exceed the love you have for Me.
I’m allowed to love anything I found on earth on condition that it is within which Allah has ordained.
I can’t allow myself to do something displeasing to Allah to get something that is pleasing to me.
Whether it pleases me or not, if it displeases Allah, I’m going to control myself because I’m a believer.
Whatever we consume affects our entire system. If you put a haraam morsel of food in your mouth, don’t think it ends there.
So you don’t realize why on earth this person is thinking so negative or so way out.
Do me a favor, start off by purifying what goes into your mouth, your sustenance. When your sustenanceis pure, Allah begins to purify the rest of your system.
A mini research of my own where people who are astray and completely and they don’t want to see the light and don’t want to hear. A lot of the times they’re involved in consumption of something that is haram. They just don’t see the light.
Let’s lead our lives in a way that Allah gives us also a good death.
It is all part of the greater plan of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, that certain things He does not give you a choice about. Those things, Allah Almighty has decided for reasons known to Him.
One of the factors that Allah has kept is a very interesting, beautiful teaching that your final judgment depends on how your life ends.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to make a du’a,
اللهم إني أسألك حسن الخاتمة
Allahumma inni as aluka husnal khatimah: O Allah, I ask You for a good end to my life.
Because there is a hadith that states that a person who does a lot of good for so many years and suddenly messes up at the end, they’ve lost. And the person who’s done a lot of bad through his life, but suddenly made everything right at the end.
They’ve gained a person who was a disbeliever, and suddenly they became a Muslim. They believed in Allah and submitted just before they passed on.
They died as submitters. Good news to them. Islam deletes the bad that was done before it. The same applies to tawba and repentance. Whatever was before it is deleted.
A gift of Allah is that we are not judged by our sins. We are judged by our repentance.
We all love nice things, don’t we? Don’t ever love it beyond the love of Allah, which means if Allah tells you this is the line, you don’t cross that line.
That if you have ever crossed a line, come back to Allah without losing hope, every single time, you happen to cross it, tell yourself, I’m crossing or I have crossed, not because I am defying Allah, but because of my human weakness, I regret, I repent, I seek Your forgiveness.
Don’t delay the preparation for the meeting with Allah because that’s what might just happen.
Allah’s knowledge encompasses absolutely everything. Right now, He’s given you capacities and powers. Use them and get closer to Him.
Allah is looking at your heart, your deeds, your worship, your compassion, the softness of the soul, your intention, your seriousness, and the way you’re moving forward. And Allah says, You know what? For this person is paradise.
The most content of people on earth are not those who did whatever they wanted, not even one of them. The most content people on earth are those who discipline themselves.
They got up at a certain time, they worked hard, they respected everyone, they fulfilled rules and regulations, and they followed by the book. They are the happiest, the most content in all honesty.
Allah Almighty made things compulsory in Ramadan that are not compulsory out of Ramadan, and we did those things, and we tried to do a few more things.
So I’m still going to stick to what Allah has made compulsory out of Ramadan.
But after Ramadan, there is a statement of the predecessors that they used to state, what a lost people who worship Allah only in the month of Ramadan.
Without bearing in mind that the same Allah who was in Ramadan is here out of Ramadan.
What a bad nation or what bad people who only worship Allah in the month of Ramadan, or they don’t worship Allah, except in the month of Ramadan.
When things happen to change our lives in a beautiful positive way, you begin to feel the blessings of Allah in your life.
You appreciate the halal in your life to the degree that you don’t even incline towards haram.
Eid is a happy day. What are you celebrating? Did you realize or do you know that you are celebrating the worship that Allah allowed you to engage in through the whole month? And what was this worship?
Allah instructed you and He asked you to do it, and then He allowed you to fulfill it, meaning He gave you the capacity to do it.
Allah is giving you a day to celebrate your closeness to Him. Make sure that you don’t do anything that will take you away from Him. That is the most important piece of advice for the Eid celebrations.
The narration of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, wherein he speaks about searching for the night of decree, the night of power or the night of decree in the Arabic language, Laylat al Qadr.
When we search for it, the idea is to be able to worship Allah through a number of days, not just one.
The most powerful nights are the nights of Ramadan. From them, there are powerful nights towards the second half of Ramadan. In the last 10 nights, there is a greater chance that Laylat al Qadr is in those 10, the ones we are in right now.
Then he says, search for the night of decree in the odd nights from the last 10 nights of Ramadan.
How do I search for the night?
Although Laylat al Qadr is inside Ramadan, It is one night that has the value of the whole of the rest of Ramadan and beyond.
Laylat al Qadr that night of decree is more powerful or better than a thousand months.
If everyone is rushing towards Allah, don’t be the only few left out.
