Don’t Despair When Allah Is In Control

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”

Duties Towards The Quran ‘Jawami-Al-Kalim’

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)”.

Hijab Is For Modesty Not Revealing Body By Skin-Tight Clothing

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”?

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”.
