Make Haste Towards Two Things Including Extinguishing Anger | Citocs-Ep14 | Mufti Menk

We are human beings, we sin. We falter and at times we transgress knowingly and the times unknowingly. May Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala forgive us. So well, but Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala tells us there is a race. You must make haste.

It is the race of achieving Comfort during that type of a crisis. The crisis is sinful Behavior, the sins and the comfort is the race.

Allah says We want you to race to make haste towards two things. Number one; the forgiveness of Allah, number two the paradise.

There are four conditions to wipe out sins including recurring ones. The same four conditions would actually make you sinless and spotless once again; and again and again and it is endless.

What are the four conditions of seeking forgiveness? Number one: admit your sin to yourself between you and Allah, number two: regret it. That’s also between you and Allah, number three: seek forgiveness. That’s also between you and Allah, number four: promise not to do it again, that’s also between you and Allah.

Allah has already said those who develop the correct relationship with me and they are the ones who spend during days of ease and during times of hardship.

The racing towards forgiveness and Paradise that is prepared for those who are conscious of Allah that race includes spending but together with that you need to extinguish your anger.

The prophet peace be upon Him says a powerful person is not he who can out wrestle others; a powerful person is the one who can extinguish his anger when he’s angry, subhanallah. Can you do? Well, then you achieve a lot of comfort. You protect yourself from many crises.

And Part of developing your relationship with Allah and earning paradise and winning the race is to forgive people, learn to forgive others.

Remember a kind word you will never lose anything by being polite, greet people respond to the greeting, smile at one another, the small assistance that you may be able to render…… remember it’s not all about yourself. It’s about us. We are Humanity.

So Allah says take care of each other. You must take care of each other.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. “Allah! There is no god but He – the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they encompass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory).”

Why It’s Important to Reach Out CITOCS- Ep7 | Mufti Menk

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
[البقرة :201]

Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil ‘akhirati hasanatan waqina ‘adhaban-nar

Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the chastisement of the fire
[2:201]

If we take a look at the prophets of Allah, they were loved by Allah more than us. They were chosen by Allah more than us Ordinary People. And if you look at their lives, they went through challenge after challenge. There was a point when even The Messengers called out to Allah to say when is Your help coming?

And Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala says in verse number 214 of Surat al-baqarah behold; the help of Allah is very near very near.

When you are getting to the point Where you feel you’re almost broken Allah says well, if you have faith in Me, I want you to know My help is very near.

When we reach out to others the almighty reaches out to us and we must make sure that we look after our family members our relatives, our communities, our countrymen, Etc, members of the ummah before we make the circle larger.

The almighty makes us helpless at times, so helpless because He just wants you to turn to Him. The minute you turn to Him you will achieve the comfort that He really wanted you to achieve.

Imagine your staff at your business or your colleagues or whoever else is there, they are struggling and you’re busy enjoying you life you will never learn goodness through that. Look after everyone Allah will look after you.
