4:18 don’t hang
Speaker: Mufti Menk
“I’m not a person to shoot down opinions or people who hold other opinions. They are my brothers. I love them with the full love that I’m supposed to be giving them and Beyond But at the same time it’s just my humble opinion not to join the prayers (Online), you benefit from everything. But my prayers I will do in my own Jamah at home If I cannot go to the Masjid”– Mufti Menk
Isn’t it one of the favours of Allah when we witness entire Humanity put aside all that differences in order to save lives? When humanity is being affected, then we see the reality of saving one another and serving one another
Life is too short to hold things in your heart and your mind that are Negative. Let’s go, Let’s go! And Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala will cause the mountain on your shoulder to come crumbling down. You will feel so good.
Find a project for your Hereafter, dedicate the best portion of your life for it today and watch how not only it will fortify you from doubtful matters today. It will also guide you and I to the highest grades of Paradise in the Hereafter. Make duaa that Allah safeguards your Iman.
Identify your skills and work for a project that will bring about the maximum return in terms of reward on the Day of Judgment, a project that will continue to feed good deeds into your grave when you are 6 feet under and you have died.
A project that will help extend your short life, that will outlive your short life, create a vision.
The prophet (saw) said that whoever sticks to Istighfar/ whoever sticks to seeking forgiveness, Allah will take care of all their Affairs anyway.
Worry about the sincerity of your supplication, Not the wisdom of the One that you’re supplicating to, worry about the sincerity of your request, not the capacity of the One that you are requesting from. Allah will do His part, you do yours. – Shaykh Omar Suleiman
Life is not all about doing what we please especially when it is in the transgression of the almighty. It’s very important for us to soften the hearts towards Allah. To soften the hearts towards one another, many of us have a very hard heart. It’s time to change that, develop your attitude and make sure that you are filled with gratitude.
Change the hard heart, soften it, starts speaking respectfully to others, no matter how powerful you think you are but The almighty has absolute control. We are nothing in front of Allah.- Mufti Menk
The moral of all these three for me is that if you believe in to do good deeds Allah will take care of you and your Offspring, SubhanAllah So amazing amazing.
A day will come when you will be smiling all the way and you’re going to say o Allah indeed when you took that thing away from me or when I suffered a loss back in the days. It was the best thing that could have happened. – Mufti Menk
Many a times, we judge people by certain societal criteria and external factors, but is this really the most accurate way of judging people? Let’s see by recalling this hadith.
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`id:
A man passed by Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked a man sitting beside him, “What is your opinion about this (passer-by)?” He replied, “This (passer-by) is from the noble class of people. By Allah, if he should ask for a lady’s hand in marriage, he ought to be given her in marriage, and if he intercedes for somebody, his intercession will be accepted. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) kept quiet, and then another man passed by and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked the same man (his companion) again, “What is your opinion about this (second) one?” He said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! This person is one of the poor Muslims. If he should ask a lady’s hand in marriage, no-one will accept him, and if he intercedes for somebody, no one will accept his intercession, and if he talks, no-one will listen to his talk.” Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “This (poor man) is better than such a large number of the first type (i.e. rich men) as to fill the earth.” [ Sahih A Bukhari]
Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah loves a servant who is righteous, independent, and obscure.”
A way of earning the pleasure of the almighty is to go back to the one who actually pleased him. It was none other than the prophet Muhammad peace be upon If you would like to please Allah, go and look at how Muhammad peace be upon Him pleased Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala.
Allah Is in control. Remember take all the precautions, lay your trust in Allah, do that which is pleasing to Allah. Try your best to stay away from that which is displeasing to Allah.
Don’t concoct things and think I’m going to please Allah if I were to do it this way or that way simply go back to what the prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him taught and follow it.
Don’t ask Allah to answer the prayer the way that you want it to be answered but ask Allah to answer the prayer and the way that He knows is best.
Perfect supplication is when you ask Allah for the best, for the highest in your perception. and then you are satisfied with His response as the best no matter how He gives it to you.
Don’t just ask Allah to stop the bleeding, ask Allah to increase the reward and ask Allah to give you a better replacement and that’s part of expecting well of your Creator, when you ask of Him.
Don’t concern yourself with how the answer comes but know that the One you are asking is fully capable and knows what He’s doing.
The prophet (saw) said to be moderate and sincere and strive for Perfection, but be gradual in our pursuit of Allah and he said (saw) to focus on remembering Allah. Haste being in a hurry in a way that Allah does not like being Hasty in salah. Be worried about 5G, Fajr Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib & Ishā, that’s you are supposed to be worried about right?
