Soft Shoulder In Salah | An Important Hadith

In this clip #Mufti Menk reminds us an important hadith regarding #softshoulder in #salah /prayer. #Majid is the house of Allah. Anyone who makes others comfortable here and creates space for them is actually from among the best of people as the prophet (Saw) says the best from among you in Salah is the one who has the softest shoulders. So soften up, a little bit humble yourself.

Mufti Menk quotes here “Are you ready to give others a space? Are you ready to give a lift to someone? Are you ready to reach out to someone? If you cannot reach out to someone in your prayer, do you really think you’re going o reach out to people in anything else? It’s not possible; you need to love for others what you love for yourself from a #hadith”.

Allah Deletes The Bad But The Good Continues | Narrations Of Comfort

In this #MuftiMenk explains that how seeking #forgiveness for sins earns the mercy of Allah and Allah (swt) deletes bad but only the continues by giving better than a clean slate to His worshippers from the hadiths and the verses of the Quran. Mufti Menk also makes mention of four conditions of seeking of forgiveness for sins including recurring ones and how Allah (swt) replaces bad deeds (#sin) with the good deeds done by worshippers.

“Islam deletes that bad which you did before it. The good is carried forward; the bad is deleted. It’s better than the day you were born. The day you were born there was no good, no bad; the day you accepted Islam, the good continues and the bad is deleted”. – Mufti Menk

Let Not These Things Spoil Or Donate Good Deeds To Someone Else

In this video clip #MuftiMenk makes mention of how to protect #gooddeeds by not spoiling or donating some else through backbiting, arrogance, expecting recompense after helping someone, etc. Allah says if you want My mercy, you need to do good deeds as none of you will enter #jannah ( #paradise) with your own deeds, it’s the mercy of Allah and Allah loves those who do good deeds.

“ Change your attitude; do deeds for the sake of Allah when you gave someone something when you helped, someone, when you helped someone cross the road when you were kind to people, you were kind to them yes but for the sake of Allah I don’t want something from you in return” – Mufti Menk

The Signs Of Allah’s Happiness

In this short clip #MuftiMenk makes menion of if he were to ask us who is the most loved unto Allah the answer is Muhammad (ﷺ) who used to lead a very simple life. So everything we have is irrelevant in the eyes of Allah, it’s got to do with who is closer to Allah who gets jannatul ferdous (Allahu Akbar). Remember that when you have things, it’s not the sign of the happiness of Allah sometimes maybe when you don’t have it- it’s a sign of the #happiness of #Allah.

“Let your blessings bring you closer to Allah and make you humble. Two things will take you to paradise; be the conscious of Allah and treat the other people with a lot of respect”- From Mufti Menk

People Are Equal Like The Teeth Of A Comb

In this video clip #MuftiMenk makes mention of the hadith ” People Are Equal Like The Teeth Of A Comb” regarding #equality of #Mankind. So let’s start to build bridges to others removing tribalism, nationalism and racism as the message of Islam is for the entire human race.

“Allah says We created you different tribes and people in order that you recognise one another. So that you can know… not in order to destroy your bridge, not in order to say we are better. wallahi there is a disease with nearly every tribe in the whole world. Every tribe believes that they are better than the other a sign of Shaytan’s trap. He is putting dynamite on your bridge to destroy it. That exactly is the racism, the tribalism Iblis (devil)’s crime was exactly. He (Iblis) said I am better than you, that’s why Allah said you are cursed”. – Mufti Menk
