Great Reminders For Authentic Hadith Rejecters! Mufti Menk

Beyond that which is an obligation is something that is recommended, but it’s not an obligation. And sometimes there are things that are permissible, and if you were to do them, you would be rewarded, but it’s not an obligation.

Sunnah means the Prophet, peace be upon him, did it, he taught it. One would not be sinful to leave it out, but one would achieve such a great reward One would not be sinful to leave it out, but one would achieve such a great reward peace be upon him, says, The two units of voluntary prayer.

The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, his entire life, every movement of his recorded, every statement of his recorded, every action of his recorded, the nodding of his head recorded, and the lessons learned from all of this, something amazing.

the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was given the Quran to give to us. Allah chose the most trustworthy.

If we can trust Him regarding the Quran, which is the revelation of Allah that He gave us, how can we not trust Him regarding his own life and his other statements that he has said?

If we didn’t believe these, how can we actually believe the others?

Those who say that we won’t take any hadith, need to reconsider their stance. The reason is you can only be a Muslim when you declare, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the messenger of Allah.

A messenger comes with a message. The Quran leads you to the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

If we did not take from the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, we would not be able to fulfill what the Quran has brought.

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.

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.

The greatest key to Khushua (full attention); If you understand this key and you use it for your Salah, you will see a dimensional change in your Salah from the next prayer, by Allah’s will.

What is it?

Why in the Witr Salah do you see people sobbing more than any other time of the year, weeping? How come the imam, he begins making du’a, imploring the majestic Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, calling upon Him, praising Him, glorifying Him, asking for Jannah, seeking refuge from Jahannam, confessing the weakness and sins and deficiency, and asking for what we don’t deserve of, complaining of our problems and our pains for our ummah and our families and our children, ourselves.

You see people weeping. Why?

Because during that moment, you’ve experienced something called Al munajat, or “confidential talks,” Al Munajah, it means private talk with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.
