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

So write it well.

“You are breathing; it’s not too late, you are alive, it’s not too late. Delete what is in your book, change it and write something else. When you make a mistake you can rub it off, you can erase it and it’s not too late. Never lose hope in the mercy of Allah, Allah will forgive all your sins, you can change all the bad, only put good things in your book”. – 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
