Two Conditions Of Preparing For Meeting With Allah (SWT) | Mufti Menk

#MuftiMenk mentions that whoever is looking forward or loves to meet Allah (swt) Allah loves to meet him or her. So whosoever from amongst you is looking forward to the meeting with Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala he needs to make sure primarily that two conditions are met; he needs to do good deeds which are taught by Muhammad (saw) and seek a lot of forgiveness from Allah (swt) in the lecture.

Mufti Menk says that there are so many other ways of achieving the #closeness to Allah of preparing for the meeting with Allah; our #kindness, our reaching out to those in need we’re reaching out to our brothers and sisters whether they are in our city in our locality or across the #globe those who are struggling and suffering just to reach out to them with something small that we may have perhaps with a prayer if we don’t have anything material good words amongst ourselves, cleansing our heart so that we learn to love one another. This is all for the sake of Allah; we will be prepared for the day we meet with Allah (swt).

Mufti Menk Quotes “A believer always knows where he /she is heading. He/ She is always conscious of the fact that he / She will have to meet his / Her Maker one day. If you want to meet with Allah in a beautiful way have hope; have hope in the mercy of Allah never ever lose that hope have a good feeling regarding to Allah (swt).”

Having Hope In People Is Sunnah | Mufti Menk

#MuftiMenk mentions that it’s important for us to look at Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam as the ideal role model. He is the only creature of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala or human being whom we can look at from every aspect of his life and say he’s a role model in this lecture.

Mufti Menk adds that there is always a turning point in our lives. Allah does not leave a single human being without direct reminders to him or her in his or her life; it’s not possible. So waiting for the #turningpoint in others is part of the sunnah of Muhammad (saw) when we are soft with people, when we are kind to them, and when we are lenient with them it’s a sign of the mercy of Allah upon us. Mufti Menk Quotes “Be patient wait for the turning point in others and as for yourself; ask yourself am I going to live to see the next morning why should I wait to turn myself to Allah. So when it comes to others we are lenient when it comes to ourselves we should not be lenient; turn now be hard on yourself don’t be hard on others.”

How To Save Good Deeds From Devil’s Trap | Mufti Menk

#MuftiMenk addresses how to save our good deeds from the actions derived by the devils nicely in this lecture with English subtitle. Mufti Menk says Many people do not realize that it is very easy to do a good deed but it is more difficult to keep that good deed intact in a way that it can be of benefit to us when we arrive in front of the Almighty on the day of judgement. So, To protect a good deed is ten times more difficult than to engage in it. If we engage in a good deed mashallah we deserve a #gooddeed and we deserve the multiplication; if we bring it with us on the Day of Judgement.

Mufti Menk Quotes “There is a difference between the human mind & brain and the believing heart; The heart of a believer surrenders to the Almighty whilst the mind might have a question or two of understanding but ultimately whether we understand it or not. When we know the source of the instruction and we still surrender to that particular instruction, we then join the ranks of those who are the Friends of the Almighty such as Ibraheem may Allah’s peace be upon him and may Allah subhanahu wata’ala grant us a lesson from his life as well.”

Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture “If you speak good -do you know that Allah speaks about you to the angels; if you encourage people to do good Allah talks about you; if you gather people and you actually are encouraging them regarding the word of Allah; the hadith says Allah makes mention of this gathering with the angels and Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala literally boasts to the angels to say look at my worshippers they are worshipping me against the Shaitaan.”

MuftiMenk mentions that In order to achieve the blessings of the Almighty we need to lead a #life that would call on these #blessings; we have to lead a life of purity.

Be Careful How You Speak To The Mother Of Your Children | Mufti Menk

In this video clip #MuftiMenk urges to watch one’s #tongue very #careful when he addresses his wife and fulfils her rights and appreciate her sacrifice what she goes through for him. Bad mouthing to one’s #wife is prohibited and not fulfilling her rights could be equivalent to divorce in Islam.

Mufti Menk Quotes “You cannot equate your wife with someone who’s a Muharram. You cannot do that with the intention of insulting her and telling her that I’m no longer going to fulfil your rights & your duties. Save ourselves from insulting our wives. They have given birth; they have borne our children we need to respect and honour the changes that may have taken place in their bodies as a result of it.”

Have Theses Answers To Succeed In Exams of Dunya & Akhirah | Mufti Menk

#MuftiMenk highlights that the #examination of #life is not just a one-off exam that happens in the month of December nor is it one week episode which occurs perhaps during the middle of the year. But it requires an entire lifetime of fulfilment; every time something comes in your direction that appears to be a test. Remember, Allah is watching you the way you react every time- you feel lazy to get up for #Salah; remember that is the examination Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala is watching and that is what He has planned and tailor-made so that we can earn our #paradise in this lecture.

Mufti Menk add that whoever works hard shall reap the fruit of their work. We need to know this it is not befitting for a #Muslim not to work hard through the year and suddenly when the exams come up he makes dua to Allah ya Allah grant me #success but where were you?

Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture, “Remember that failure in this life does not necessarily mean failure in the life after death. You may fail an examination in this university of yours that is not the end of the world. Perhaps you may be able to repeat; perhaps you may be able to come up with better results. So never let you failure cause depression in terms of this worldly exam but if the failure of the Akira is imminent and if we have forgotten the success of the life after death then indeed we ought to be depressed. May Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala forgive us.”
