#MuftiMenk sang Tala‘ al-Badru ‘Alaynā (Arabic: طلع البدر علينا) which is traditional Islamic poetry known as #nasheed that the Ansar recited to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam upon his arrival at Madina Munawwarah after completing the Hijra in 622 CE. The poem is currently over 1400 years old, and one of the oldest in the Islamic culture.
#MuftiMenk gives an excellent lecture about Lessons From The Pre Hijrah Era Within Mecca / Makkah part 1 and how to apply these lesson in the contemporary situations from the #seerah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in Doha conference in 2018.
Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture “Learn to understand that what you have is more valuable than any diamond; it’s the deen; it’s the religion; it’s the following of Muhammad peace be upon him but You need to learn because we don’t want those who have a warped understanding of the faith to overtake our understanding of it and to make us people who begin to hate more than we love. It’s a religion of love; it’s a religion of peace; it’s a religion of tolerance. The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him taught us how to spread the word because he spread it in the most beautiful way.”
#MuftiMenk starts off by reminding each other about something known as taku allahi- #Taqwa is to create a barrier between oneself and the punishment of Allah in a way that would ensure that we fulfil what Allah wants from us and we stay away from what he has prohibited our entire life is a mission to please Allah subhanahu wata’ala.
Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture, “Every moment is a moment of tawba and seeking forgiveness indeed but there is a moment in the darkest hours of the night that is far more the darkest hours of the night blessed than any other moment where we should not wait in order for that moment to arrive to seek the forgiveness of Allah when we have faulted but rather we should repeat the repentance and the seeking of forgiveness at that time repetition say it again”
#MuftiMenk makes mention of tips for growth of goodness for #Ramadan and things that should be done for healthy #spirituality for Ramadan.
Mufti Menk quotes in this lecture “Learn to open because Ramadan is a month of generosity, …the beginning of Ramadan open your closets, your cupboards, your wardrobes not only are we cleansing ourselves our homes that guests that I spoke about moments ago; Ramadan is more important than any human being who can visit you- just like you will clean your home clean your act, clean yourself, cut out your bad habits…”
#MuftiMenk highlights that #Ramadan is an opportunity to score as much as we can to achieve the forgiveness of Allah and hold the spirit of the Ramadan to the entire year being conscious of Allah Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture “Imagine we have such a religion that teaches us to smile at one another, to be kind to one another, to be able to get closer to Allah. You need to also respect the creatures that that same Allah has made; starting with humankind , your family members and the others.”
#MuftiMenk illustrates that #Ramadan is here to look at every aspect; be careful if someone were to ask me what is Ramadan all about ? I will tell them it is to achieve holistic God consciousness lecture given in the East London Mosque on 13th May, 2018.
Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture “Learn to develop your character during the month of Ramadan, your conduct be the best husband, the best man, the best woman, the best wife ,the best mother , the best mother-in-law, the best father, the best daughter-in-law.. SubhanAllah”
#MuftiMenk mentions that remove the hatred in your heart from others or of others #Ramadan is there to build relations (#spouse, family members ,neighbours, etc) to think about where you are and the building of a relationship requires both parties not just one.
Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture “If we were true followers of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him we would learn something from the fact that as he ran down the first person- he embraced was this wife of his. How many of us when we feel that we need some form of reassurance we would go to our spouse…”
#MuftiMenk makes mention of #Ramadan is a month where we should be careful of what comes out of our mouth yet many of us are only careful about what goes into our mouths. #Backbiting and juicy #gossip will also break your fast; it breaks it in a different way, it nullifies the reward of your fast.
Mufti Menk quotes in this clip “Your Entire Paradise Can Be Achieved Or Lost Based On One Small Deed. So Do Not Belittle The Value Of Goodness Even If It Is A Little Smile And Do Not Belittle The Damage Of A Sin Even If It Is A Drop Of Backbiting You See What Is Backbiting…”
To appreciate the #food #MuftiMenk makes mention of the verse from the Quran where Allah starts off by saying we will be tested with hunger; so many different ways, maybe there might be food but you may not be able to eat it or there may not be food and you will not be able to eat. So don’t #waste food when you have eaten.
