In this video clip #MuftiMenk makes mentions of the dua /supplication for the #Ummah from the Quran asking Allah, oh Allah fill our hearts with kindness for the rest of the believers. He adds that if we’ve had a dispute with someone of the Ummah we are asking Allah; o Allah do not let that malice come into my heart for another Muslim in light of Islamic teaching.
The dua is in the following: Arabic: رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ – 59:10
Transliteration: Rabbanagh fir lanaa wa li ikhwaani nal lazeena sabqoonaa bil eemaani wa laa taj’al fee quloobinaa ghillalil lazeena aamanoo rabbannaaa innaka Ra’oofur Raheem
Translation: “Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.”
In the Friday Jummah Kuthbah (sermon) #MuftiMenk gives some powerful tips to learn not to react in a negative way to anything bad happened and being proactive to react the situation saying two things from the Quran Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (We belong to God and to Him we shall return) & Hasbunal Laahu Wa Ni’malwakeel (Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and, He is the Best Disposer of affairs) . Mufti Menk ends with a plea from the bottom of his heart when you see negativity please react in the wise way; ask yourself how would Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam react…..
In this video clip #Muftimenk makes mentions of how to react against drawing Satirical cartoons (Astaghfirullah) against our beloved prophet Muhammed ﷺ. Mufti Menk insists us on being proactive and using the opportunity to educate people by quoting when they harmed Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in taif and in his life in his person, He ﷺ reacted with a beautiful du’a; he ﷺ reacted in a calm way as a result they turned to Islam wholesale. I want to tell you every time they have drawn cartoons or come out with blasphemous videos, scores of people have turned to Islam as a direct result of what they did. I guarantee you that….
Transliteration: Rabbi aqzi’neee an ashkura ni’matakal lateee an’amta ‘alaiya wa ‘alaa waalidaiya wa an a’mala saalihan tardaahu wa aslih lee fee zurriyyatee innee tubtu ilaika wa innee minal muslimeen
Translation: “My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims.” Surah Al-Ahqaf [46:15]
This motivational content is created from the lecture of Mufti Menk and Sheikh Tawfique Chowdhury regarding How to deal the situation when a calamity strikes like going through divorce more than one, keep failing to get a job or suffering loss in a business .
#MuftiMenk makes mention of when a problem happens it’s not the end of the world but even if it was the end of the world who would you return to to Allah. So you say Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un; what’s happening you are doing something wrong, don’t react in that way the what’s happening you are doing something wrong, don’t react in that way the reaction of giving up #hope is not part of the dictionary of a mumin. A believer does not give up hope.
Sheikh Tawfique Chowdhury gives a powerful speech on how tawakkul (the Islamic concept of reliance on God or “trusting in God’s plan”) makes a believer strong on the earth with taking action little bit beyond his/ her means when none is helping him / her in this duynia (the world).
In this lecture #MuftiMenk makes mention of the bad consequences of #oppression / #wrongdoings to others from the surah AL FURQAN in the Quran. He talks about two types of oppression / wrong doing: one is shirk which is associating a partner or rival to Allaah in Lordship (ruboobiyyah), worship or in His names and attributes and other one is doing wrong amongst each other. When ones does wrong to someone, he / she has to taste the result of that wrong either now or later on. He further mentions that the #darkness is on the day of judgement / Resurrection will only be a result of people having wronged others and an oppressor or a wrong doer will definitely face the darkness of his/ her action , he/ she will face the darkness of his /her deeds in the light of a Hadith.
Mufti Menk Quotes “Allah says -be careful of the duaa the one you have wronged, it will have far-reaching effects. when we see things go wrong in our lives inshaallah mostly it is a test from Allah; it is a test if that thing brought us closer to Allah, it was a blessing of Allah; your problem brought you closer to Allah it was definitely the test from Allah. But if it took you further away from Allah frustrated you and angered you and made you lose your sleep to the degree that your mind is being lost and you becoming angry and you can’t sleep and you can’t eat and you can’t drink then it’s the punishment of Allah.”
Mufti Menk says that man always wants what he thinks is better for him not realizing that certain things are not good for you. So through the mercy of Allah, Allah says no matter how old you are even if you’re Allah says this I know it’s not good for you I’m going to keep it away from you. When He does that which I don’t want and you don’t want but He wants. It’s a favor if you believe in Allah you will automatically believe that whatever he has chosen for me is the absolute best there’s no chance then that can be anything besides the ultimate best regarding how to deal with #loss He further mentions that when something bad happens in your life; the first question- you ask yourself is what my role to play in this was. If you are to blame you need to rectify the blame, seek forgiveness and sort it out. But if you are not to blame you must be very happy very excited because now it is Allah in play and he is putting you where he knows it’s better for you.
#MuftiMenk quotes in this lecture “Don’t #despair Allah is in control; don’t look at things from a negative eye if you yourself are trying. When you need to look at it negatively is when you are a negative person; there’s nothing good about you”
To speak about the duties (especially the importance of reciting and understanding) towards The #Quran#MuftiMenk makes mention of a very interesting hadith where Allah’s Apostle Prophet Muhammad (Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I have been sent with ‘Jawami-al-Kalim (the shortest expression with the widest meaning)…..” as The Quran will bear #witness for us or against us on the day of #Qiyamah (Judgement) in this lecture.
Mufti Menk Quotes in this clip “The Quran is the speech of Rabbul izzati al-jalal , Allah (swt) -this Quran is so powerful that, even if you don’t understand it and if you repeat its words, it has in it such power because it is the word of Allah that cures all for your diseases and sickness, the sickness of the heart, the spiritual sickness, the social ills, those ills that might be physical as your sickness of every nature because it is the words spoken by Allah (Swt)”.
In this lecture #MuftiMenk highlights two things for heading in the right direction. Number one is to recognise the Allah / #Creator and Number two is to develop #relationship with other creatures made by the same Creator in this world Mufti Menk Quotes in this clip
“We respect not just other human beings, we respect other creatures of Allah; why? Because the same Creator has made them that’s the reason….”
This following video clip is made for the purpose #Hijab in terms of Islam from the reminders of three prominent speakers regarding hijab with #Skintightclothing: #MuftiMenk Quotes in this clip, “when we say dress in Islam it doesn’t just mean what you’re putting on but it includes what how you carry yourself. When we talk of hijab, hijab is not just the type of clothing you have externally but it’s a condition that you carry yourself upon. It is a way of life as well. It’s part and parcel of your identity and that would include the men as well as the women”.
#DrZakirNaik makes mention of how woman’s status at time of Babylonian civilisation, Greek civilisation, Egyptian civilisation, Arab civilisation before revelations of the Quran was and How Islam uplifted women’s status.After Islam has given rights to the woman it has even shown as the way that women should maintain a status hijab has been prescribed to the woman so that she maintains the status. He mentions six-criteria for hijab given in the glorious Quran and hadith regarding clothing but this is not constitute them the complete hijab besides the hijab of the clothing also includes the behavior, the conduct, the attitude as well as the intention of the person. besides the hijab of the clothing there’s the hijab of the eyes, hijab of the heart, hijab of the mind, hijab of the thought it even includes the way a person talks, the way a person walks, and the way a person behaves.
Shaykh #OmarSuleiman speaks that Hijab is a symbol of modesty. It includes the way a person walk, talks, looks and thinks; All of it should be done modestly and applies to both Men and Women. So encourage wearing hijab properly and don’t beat each other down and make them feel like garbage help each other to get there but don’t blur the standard at the same time as about some hijabs….actually are a tease, they’re more of a tease than they are covering, don’t do something that would contradict the purpose of the hijab in response to the Question “what do you think of hijabis who wear tights”?
