Never Ever Say It For The Ramadan! Mufti Menk

It is only if something is the most important event in the year or month in the year that we will be speaking in advance regarding the preparation of the month of Ramadan.

To prepare for the month of Ramadan, you need to start off by thinking about what it is, how blessed the month is.

Happiness and contentment is achieved primarily by understanding Allah’s plan. By understanding, you have to worship Allah alone. You have to build a relationship with the one whom you are going to go back to one day helplessly. Helplessly. I’m going to go back to Allah.

That’s what I want to say today, that your preparation for Ramadan is a commitment from now to say, I’ve started it.

When Did Allah Say Your Son’s Wife Should Be Your Choice | Mufti Menk

Today, for some petty reasons, your father could tell you divorce your wife. What is right for you to do?

You need to ask yourself, is my father right or is my wife right?

Amazing verse in the Quran;

O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allāh, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allāh is more worthy of both.1 So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allāh is ever, of what you do, Aware.  Quran- 4:135

How To Handle Politics Between Your Wife And Parents Especially Your Mother | Mufti Menk

Surah An-Nisa, which is obviously dedicated to the women. One thing that is clear in the Surah, Allah has repeated the issue of justice several times in the Surah.

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala grant us an understanding that when we came, we brought nothing. When we are going to leave, we will leave with nothing besides our deeds.

Allah says, O you who believe, stand stead fast for justice, for the sake of Allah, whether it be against your own parents or your relatives, your children, whoever it may be, the rich or the poor.

You side with who is right. Your father, your mother, who is right?

The answer is when it comes to who is right. You’ve got to look at what the issue is.

Do You Feel Perhaps Allah Will Not Forgive For Having Certain Doings | Ustadh Ali Hammuda

Ikhlas (Sincerity) is a cause of erasing sins, even the Most Major of them. Ikhlas (Sincerity) melts away a lifetime’s worth of sins.

Ikhlas (Sincerity) is our savior in the hereafter, when you will hear the announcement, Allah said on the Day of Judgment, this day the truthfulness of the truthful ones will be benefited by it. That is the day the people of Ikhlas (Sincerity) will shine.

Don’t give up. Ikhlas (Sincerity) isn’t about removing insincerity from your heart forever and eliminating it. It’s about managing it and realizing it’s an ongoing struggle. It’s a battle that in of itself is a sign of sincerity that you’re scared of it.

The Best Answer Why I Am On The Earth! Mufti Menk | Pre-Ramadan Reminders 2023

Satan’s aim is to make you an indiscipline person, one who follows his own whims and fancies and desires. a person who is trapped by Satan would not want to follow any rules. He wants to fulfill what is known as my wish, my whims, my fancies, what I desire.

Religion comes in and Allah Almighty, the Maker, what has He told us? The rules and regulations are there to discipline you, to make you a person who will succeed without regret, a person who does not just have a moment of joy followed by a lifetime of regret, but rather a person who understands that I need to follow rules and regulations in a way that my contentment is extended, not just throughout my little life on this earth, but beyond going into the hereafter.

For These Three Things Allah Will Write His Mercy For You | Mufti Menk

Allah Is telling us, My mercy encompasses everything, but who will I write it for?

Allah says, I will write it for those who have taqwa fear of God, those who give charities to the poor. Zakat also means to develop yourself, your character, your conduct, and your qualities.

The heart needs to be cleansed when it comes to how it interacts with the rest of creation.

So taqwa, zakaat, and those who believe firmly in Our signs Those who believe in our signs, they have taqwa and they give Zakaat. Those are the ones whom We will write our mercy for.

If we want the mercy of Allah, we must develop a relationship with Allah, be kind to fellow human beings, and follow the sunnah of our Prophet (pbuh).

Response To My Parents Created Me! Abbas VS Atheist Lady | Speakers Corner

What about the admiration of the One Who created the universe..

Who created you, who fashioned you, who gave you your eyes?

Whenever we see something that’s contingent or reliant on something that has to assemble or fashion it in a certain way.

So, for example, the universe is contingent, it’s reliant upon helium and hydrogen and all of the other things that make the universe. Whatever is reliant on something cannot be the explanation for itself, but requires an explanation for its existence.

And what you can’t have is a series of material explanations infinitely going in the past because you can never traverse an infinite number of steps to reach this step; we’re talking today here in Speaker’s Corner.

Marriage

That He Or She Doesn’t Exist In The Real World! Mufti Menk

Some of us finds it tough to get married. It’s true. It is a challenge. I’ve always said it was easier to marry when we knew less people.

Now, do you know why it’s difficult to get married?

Because we know too many people. You might laugh at me.

It’s a fact. You know too many. Your standards are up the roof. Go to paradise and you’ll still be looking for that person.

Beauty of The Quran

We As Muslims Don’t Believe In God blindly! Raihan VS Atheist Couple | Speakers Corner

I can give you reasons why I believe that there is the Creator. I cannot give you tangible proof for the existence of God. I can give you reason.

And if it’s a good reason then that’s a belief. We as Muslims, we’re not taught just to believe in God blindly.

In fact, if you read the Quran, it’s so intellectual, it challenges the reader.

Do they not consider the Qur’an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy. SURAH AN-NISA AYAT 82 (4:82 QURAN)

The Quran is actually opening for you to challenge. If you don’t believe this is from God, if you don’t believe this from Allah, prove it wrong.

How Your Will Heal From Your HeartBreak | Mufti Menk

Question: why is my heartbroken and how can you heal from my heartbreak or from the diseases of the heart over time

Remember, the One Who heals the heart is none other than the One Who made it. In fact, nobody, nothing, whether it is material or in the form of people, can ever heal your heart. The only one that will heal your heart is its Maker.

So the more you attach with your Maker, the better your heart shall be, the stronger it will be.

It will be healed not only from heartbreak, but from the diseases of the heart.

Indeed, Those who believe their hearts are comforted by the remembrance of Allah.
