Upset With Looks Genuine Person Will Love You For Exactly Who And How You Are | Mufti Menk

Allah says don’t desire, don’t wish for that which we have given others when we have raised some above others. Allah has created different roles for everyone to play.

Allah says don’t become depressed by wishing and wanting that which Allah didn’t give you, SubhanAllah especially when it comes to something natural.

Be happy with Allah’s decreed, be happy with the way Allah has made you, be okay with your hair, and with your looks with everything else be fine with it. That’s how Allah wanted to make you unless there is something absolutely abnormal which you would be allowed to rectify and to correct.

Fitnah From Social Media Post And Don’t Get Your Group Involved

Ibn Abbas (ra) said the documentation of Allah is every expression, every word and every signal whether it is expressed written or spoken. That’s the way that Allah documents

If you would not bring yourself to say it to someone, don’t write it.

When we use social media use it in a way that if you were to die for some reason you would not be embarrassed about the content that you have put out there.

As a Believer we should do that which is good. We should do that which is not embarrassing if we were to die and even if we did not die, but we need to be much more responsible when it comes to the use of social media.

In suratul Al-A’raf,  subhanahu wa’ta’ala addresses us all by calling us Ya bani Adam! o children of Adam, don’t let shaitan trap you with his traps

Shaytan /devil trapped Adam and Eve/ Adam and hawwa May peace be upon them, and promised with his two things:

Be careful go and read about that, go and find out what shaitaan did, shaytan promised them two things, shaytan said if you disobey Allah, you’re going to live forever, and you will own everything.

Allah says shaitaan’s /devil’s Aim is to make you reveal your private parts, to make you take off your clothing,

Allah says watch out, shaytan wants you to be immoral, shaytan wants you to actually forget Allah. So He wants us and says be careful, don’t fall into the same trap of the devil. Otherwise, you will be exposed.

How To Know The Signs Of A Successful / An Accepted Ramadan

If you’re feeling more spiritual this moment at the end of Ramadan, then your Ramadan has been successful.

If the day of Eid is a day of obedience, a day where you still pray your qiyamul lail, a day where you still pray in the Masjid five times a day, a day where you still read the Quran and this is a huge sign that Allah azzawajal has accepted your qiyam and your reading of the Quran and your prayers in Ramadan.

So it’s important that we’re trying to form habits in sha Allah tala that will Outlast Ramadan and go beyond Ramadan.

one of the signs of an accepted Ramadan Is that our life changes, even if it were to mean or even if it was to mean just by a few inches, but the life has changed. If my life changes after Ramadan It means my Ramadan was correct.

Which Deeds Will Get Multiplied By Tenfold On The Judgment Day | Mufti Menk

Prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him explains to us who the bankrupt person is. And he says that it is a person who has a lot of good deeds, a lot of good deeds, but when they come on the Day of Judgment, they did wrong to people. So, Allah took those good deeds and actually gave them to the others, such that there were no more Good Deeds remaining.

So this is why Allah says when you do good deeds, make sure protect them by not engaging in harming others and come with them on the day of judgment, We will multiply that for you tenfold.

If a person does the bad deed, Allah instructs the angel to hold on not to write it against them yet for a period of time for a part of the day or a part of the night, why?

Perhaps this person might seek forgiveness. So there’s no need to write it yet. So we’re given a time after committing a sin to repent.

The guilt or the regret that a Believer feels immediately after committing a sin is actually the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala.

Which Bring Crises Upon Crises And How To Avoid These | Part 1 | Mufti Menk

Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala gave Muhammad peace be upon him being the final messenger of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala a list of things that He wanted us to know are actually part of the prohibitions that He has declared prohibited.

So there are many things that are prohibited. Each time Allah prohibits something it is in order for us to be protected from harm, in order for us to achieve goodness, in order to regulate our lives such that we can be comforted.

And if we are in a crisis, we will definitely be comforted by understanding what is prohibited and staying away.

When it comes to Allah there is obedience. When it comes to your parents, there is kindness.

But if it is beyond or outside the obedience of Allah, then there is no obedience for the creatures when it comes to the sin against the One who created.

Allah says when you do business be open, be transparent, don’t cheat people, don’t shortchange people and you will achieve comfort in that deal.

Do not usurp the wealth of others. Don’t shortchange people in business whether it is weighing the scales or whether it is just dealing; be transparent, be open, be merciful and Allah will grant your blessings
