This Will Happen If You Ask Allah Acknowledging His Favours Upon You! Mufti Menk

If we take a look at how Allah Almighty has blessed us and favored us, we would need to ponder over it in order for us to be able to realize the favors and the bounties of Allah upon us.

Look to begin with within yourself. Do you not have a body with limbs and organs, with bones you don’t even know the number of? Do you not have a heart that beats more than 100,000 times a day?

Allah Almighty tells us very clearly, If you are going to count the favors of Allah upon you, you will never count all of them because that is the system of Allah.

But the opposite is true. If you count the difficulties, the hardships, the calamities that Allah has thrown at you or made you go through, you will definitely be able to count them, all of them, and you would be able to say, I’ve got this problem and this and this and this and count them.

So if you want increase from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, you must make sure that you first ponder over the gifts of Allah.

We need to call out to Allah. The most important du’a or supplication is guide us to the straight path.

Don’t Allow These Things Of The Heart To Resolve A Broken Relationship! Mufti Menk

Strengthening bonds is something very important in Islam. Allah Almighty has created us in a way that we are related to people.

When Allah has kept a relationship of blood between you and someone, biologically, you’re connected, you need to know lineage in Islam is sacred. Sacred means it cannot be tempered with.

Because Allah has kept so many rules and regulations, each one of them connected to our success in this world and the next. The ultimate contentment and victory, happiness and success relies on understanding what the Almighty has said and adopting it to the best of our abilities.

Allah Almighty wants us during this beautiful month to achieve a reward by going to those whom we don’t have a relationship with, starting with our family members, the closest from amongst the family, and either apologizing or extending a hand of goodness, a hand of forgiveness, a hand of solidarity, a hand of building the bonds.

Very important for us to develop a big heart, as we say, and to extend the arm and to be the first one to extend that arm of reconciliation.

So to go out of your way to mend relations is an act of worship.

The biggest charity, the biggest donation you can ever make right now is to resolve the matters with those who are right around you.

You Came On Earth A Winner | Mufti Menk

The Quran says We created you from a droplet. I don’t recall. I don’t remember a thing. I now know that I was there, I’m in awe of the Maker.

Every one of us was a champion at one stage. Why? Because that was the droplet of semen that actually won the race, fertilized. You won. You came on earth a winner. Remember this.

Allah Almighty Proved Life After Death With The Powerful Example Of Miracle | Mufti Menk

If you take a look at Allah Almighty’s plan, many times people forget that before birth, before they were born, we believe all of us were with Allah (swt) But we don’t remember as sophisticated it as we are right now, we don’t remember the day we were born, or the first few days, or even the first year, perhaps.

We believe we are too sophisticated to just disappear one day.

Between you and something you never dreamt of, which was going to be called the life of the dunya.

There was just a membrane. You had to cross one membrane for you to witness something. Today you don’t remember, but you know you went through it.

When you thought there was nothing to come, something came. What came? A life.

Allah Almighty tells you, in the same way, you’re going to cross another membrane one day into a life that’s going to be everlasting….

A believer is told, don’t worry, just prepare for the day by trying to achieve the mercy of Allah, because the mercy of Allah is what is going to bring you into heaven, paradise.

When Did Allah Say Your Son’s Wife Should Be Your Choice | Mufti Menk

Today, for some petty reasons, your father could tell you divorce your wife. What is right for you to do?

You need to ask yourself, is my father right or is my wife right?

Amazing verse in the Quran;

O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allāh, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allāh is more worthy of both.1 So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allāh is ever, of what you do, Aware.  Quran- 4:135

Allah says, I will write it for those who have taqwa fear of God, those who give charities to the poor. Zakat also means to develop yourself, your character, your conduct, and your qualities.

The heart needs to be cleansed when it comes to how it interacts with the rest of creation.

So taqwa, zakaat, and those who believe firmly in Our signs Those who believe in our signs, they have taqwa and they give Zakaat. Those are the ones whom We will write our mercy for.

If we want the mercy of Allah, we must develop a relationship with Allah, be kind to fellow human beings, and follow the sunnah of our Prophet (pbuh).
