The Greatest Key To Khushoo In Your Next Salah! Ustadh Ali Hammuda

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.

Seek Allah’s Forgiveness Before Ramadan! Mufti Menk

Let’s purify ourselves before Ramadan. Normally, to seek forgiveness before Ramadan is actually very important because we want to enter the month as pure as possible.

Don’t think because Ramadan is a month of forgiveness, I can commit my last sons right up to the end. The moon is sighted and I’ll stop. No, from now we turn to Allah.

‘After That I Quit Smoking’! Mufti Menk

I’m busy thinking to myself that as much as we say we have to interact with the people next to us in a beautiful way, as much as we say we have to interact with them, ask yourself, am I in a position that those around me would actually be pleased to interact with a guy like me.

We need to love each other. Give people reason to love you, not to hate you. Then if they want to hate you, it’s okay. It’s better for you, it’s not bad.

But if you were the reason, then come, let’s address the matter.

Beauty of The Quran, Islam

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.

Divorce Those Two Terms For Salah! Mufti Menk

Take your time in Sujood (prostration). Beautify your prayer, take time in Sujood. Don’t just rush, take your time. Allah, Lord of the world, it might be the last Sujud (prostration),

try not to use the word quickly and salah in the same sentence.

I’m not going to say I’m rushing, it might just be my last prayer.

How can I say even for a moment that let me quickly do my salah?

I want to do salah, I want to pray, oh, I want to fulfill my salah.

Never Ever Say It For The Ramadan! Mufti Menk

It is only if something is the most important event in the year or month in the year that we will be speaking in advance regarding the preparation of the month of Ramadan.

To prepare for the month of Ramadan, you need to start off by thinking about what it is, how blessed the month is.

Happiness and contentment is achieved primarily by understanding Allah’s plan. By understanding, you have to worship Allah alone. You have to build a relationship with the one whom you are going to go back to one day helplessly. Helplessly. I’m going to go back to Allah.

That’s what I want to say today, that your preparation for Ramadan is a commitment from now to say, I’ve started it.

Allah’s Response To You Is Quicker Than Your Own Initial Call! Pre-Ramadan Reminders | Mufti Menk

Oh Allah, I promise that I’m going to try my best to be a person who pleases You more.

If you can come with that much of a promise, you’ve achieved more than anything you can imagine.

Allah comes to them a foot, meaning Allah is always quicker in response to you than your own initial call.

Happiness, goodness, contentment, true contentment will only come about when you discipline yourself.

Listen Must If You Got Struck By A Calamity | Ustad Ali Hammuda

Bury Hurtful Words Sometimes But Why | Ustadh Asim Khan

This one is about family and family matters and sacrifices that you need to make sometimes in order to keep your family together.

‘They said, “If he steals – a brother of his has stolen before.” But Joseph kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them. He said, “You are worse in position, and Allah is most knowing of what you describe.”’

Quran:12:77

Sometimes you need to tolerate people’s misbehavior for a bigger cause. You need to recognize that you are part of a bigger picture. You as a Muslim, are part of a bigger picture.

What you do affects other people and reflects on your family reflects on your community, reflects on the ummah itself. The consequence of knowing that is sometimes you got to take a hit yourself.

Sometimes your family will be mean, cruel to you. And if you react to try and get your right, you may be the cause of breaking up the whole family.

We’re saying that sometimes you may need to accept some wrong in your life. Not because you’re a doormat, because you’re a person who has a vision.
