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”.

Mufti Menk quotes in this lecture “the difficulties, we go through the hardship we face get close to Allah, pray to Allah pray for others. Look at those who are worse than you; never look at those above you because that itself is a hardship”.
