Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture “You don’t have to have a huge engagement whereby you know people are getting bank loans and borrowing because they want to compete with the who’s who in order to show the world that we’ve had a very big engagement; no, those that waste wealth; they are void of Baraka; they’re void of blessings. What is an engagement in Islam- at the point where both the boy and the girl are happy the parents announced that inshallah we have now set a date of Nika. Don’t let that date be two years from now because in those two years Shaitaan will come and spoil the sowing be sown of the seed in a halal way by making it be sown in a Haram way”.

Asking Allah’s Forgiveness Between 70 & 100 Times A Day | Mufti Menk

#MuftiMenk mentions that a day will definitely come when all of us have to depart from this world and if we look at the life of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we will come to learn that putting into practice what he did is the most beneficial thing for us one of the things he used to do on a daily basis was seeking the forgiveness of allah (swt). You and I know he had no sins but he still asked Allah (swt)’s forgiveness seeking of forgiveness would actually nullify or should I say delete cancel the sins that we have committed and they are plenty when you do good deeds for the sake of Allah they automatically delete the minor sins that you may have been committing as Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala tells us…..

Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture, “I will feel the care within my heart for everyone and the love and the concern to help them to correct them to guide them if they’re doing wrong or to learn from them where I am faltering; but I’m filled with love, I’m filled with kindness; I’m not filled with hate and an ill feeling, I’m not filled with that which is negative but rather that which is absolutely positive for the sake of Allah. Life is too short and our duties are many so to love obeying Allah, to love goodness for others, to love for others what you would love for yourself. All these are part and parcel of the purification of this beautiful heart”.

What Is Better Than The Whole World & All It Contains! Mufti Menk

#MuftiMenk mentions of the hadith “’Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The two Rak’ah before the dawn (#Fajr) #prayer are better than this #world and all it contains.” [Muslim] Another narration goes: “The two Rak’ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are dearer to me than the whole world.”

Mufti Menk Quotes in this clip “The weight of two units is not the same when it comes to Zuhr, Asr Maghrib and Isha. Fajr is much more heavier, why, it requires a bigger effort than any other Salah. That’s the reason Allah says I don’t reward you equally for that which is easy and that which is hard that you get a bigger reward”.

Don’t Justify Doubtful Things | Mufti Menk

MuftiMenk Mentions that Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala tells us whoever stays away from haram or doubtful things he/she has protected himself/herself, his /her #Deen and his/her honor. When we speak of #halal (lawful) or #Haram (forbidden) there are many aspects not only food but the food might be halal; the money that we use to buy it might not be halal. So halal is food and drink as well as our #income as well as our #relationships.

Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture “We should not become food lovers for the sake of loving the food but rather we should become halal lovers for the sake of loving Allah. Look at Sahaba (ra)- their thinking was absolutely immaculate, They could understand immediately this is right, this is wrong, why, the income was halal; the consumption was halal. The minute someone’s income is Haram they won’t understand right from wrong; they won’t see good from evil; they won’t understand who is actually calling them towards goodness and who is actually calling them towards destruction”.
