Allow Those Tears To Roll From The Great Reply Of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) | Mufti Menk

Allah Almighty knows that which is happening, that which happened, that which will happen, that’s the knowledge of Allah. But beyond that, that which will not happen, If it were to happen, how it would have happened is the knowledge of Allah.

Without the help of Allah, there’s never going to be any form of comforts. Allah alone will comfort you for your loss.

The Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) shed tears when Ibrahim, his son, passed away. So when the Sahaba / Companions (ra) and whom saw the tears, they questioned, what is this, subhanallah, as though you are not supposed to cry?

So it was quickly clarified these tears are not a sign of questioning Allah. These tears are not a sign of disagreeing with Allah. They are not a sign of being upset at Allah’s decrees (Qada’) and destiny (Qadr) but rather, these tears are a sign of the mercy that Allah puts in the hearts of those who are merciful to a degree.

Cry when you have to, cry when you need to, to cry when it’s about to come, when you hold back sometimes it’s not as good a feel as when you allow those tears to roll, allow those tears to roll. Allah created tear glands, and Allah gave them a purpose. And Allah allows them to be release when certain emotions happen to be up and down, it’s a human mechanism of coping.

Grieving In Midst Of Loss! Ask Allah To Replace What’s Been Lost With Better | Shaykh Omar Sueliman

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.

What Type Of Patience Is Needed When Calamity/Disaster/Negativity Strikes | Mufti Menk

As you know, we are going through unprecedented times across the globe and we know that gaining or getting closer to the almighty is a sign of the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala.

The answer those whom when Calamity strikes, when disaster strikes, when negativity strikes, they are the ones who say  they make a declaration with firm conviction and belief, they say Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un

Helplessness is a sign of the power of the almighty because when human beings become helpless it points towards the greatness of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala and his Power. So ultimately we have to still return to Allah- Mufti Menk
