What Angels Do When You Say Salawat Upon Prophet ﷺ | AIYP Ep-12 | Shaykh Omar Suleiman

We think of the prophet (saw) many ways. But how often do we think of the Prophet (saw) as a brother and not just any brother, but as the most blessed brother.

ٱللَّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Allah-humma salli ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala aali Muhammad

Oh Allah, send your blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad

All your concerns will be lifted

When the companion Ubai Ibn Ka’ab asked the Messenger what would happen if he dedicated all of his supplications towards sending blessings on the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .

The Prophet replied “Your needs will be satisfied and your sins will be forgiven”.

Ubai bin Ka’ab (may Allah be pleased with him), who said; ‘I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I supplicate often, so how much of my supplication should I devote to you?’ He replied, ‘as you desire’. I said, ‘a quarter of it?’ He said ‘as you desire, but if you were to increase upon this, it would be better for you.’ I said, ‘half of it?’ He said, ‘as you desire, but if you were to increase upon this, it would be better for you.’ I said, ‘two-thirds of it?’ He said again, ‘as you desire, but if you were to increase upon this, it would be better for you.’ Finally I said, ‘and if I dedicate my supplication in its entirety to you?’ He said, ‘then your needs will be satisfied, and your sins forgiven.’

(Sahih Musnad Ahmed)

Muslims’ Rest | Last 10 Years From The Life Of The Messenger (Saw) | Shaykh Ali Hammuda

Our Islamic months begin with the sacred month Muharram and they end with the sacred month Dhuʻl-Hijjah/ Zulhijjah is an indication that your life has to begin upon the worship of Allah. It must end upon the worship of Allah and everything in between is all for Allah.

Allah says to us to say my prayer, my Sacrifice, my life, my death, they are all for the sake of Allah, Lord of the worlds, Allahu Akbar.

The last 10 years from the life of the messenger (saw) did he rest? He didn’t rest. We’re talking about immigration till death. Alayhi salatu wassalam,

Every day that passes from my life and yours, a page from our book has been turned, a page after page till one day your story will come to an end. then we will be returned back to Allah.

“He said o Imam, when will we taste the meaning of rest? He said, you will rest my brother following the very first footstep that you make into jannah. Then you will rest. – From Imam Ahmed (Rah)

The Way Of Responding When People Plot Against You CITOCS-Ep12 | Mufti Menk

Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala taught Zakariya may peace be upon him the most amazing thing that many of us take for granted.

In times of Crisis a lot of us like to talk a lot. Be careful speak less, praise Allah, worship Allah morning and evening and you know what? Only say that which is beneficial.

May Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala always make us a part of the solution and never a part of the problem.

Allah chooses whomsoever He wants for a certain gift and then the gift is given. So don’t become jealous of people and don’t plan and plot the downfall of people and on the other hand don’t become depressed at the planning of others against you, you protect yourself by reading the prayers of the morning and the evening and at the same time develop a good relationship with Allah And leave the rest In His Hands.

When Allah Sends A Specific Angel To Say Ameen To One’s Dua | AIYP Ep-11

One of the best things that you could do is to tune yourself to immediately praying for someone as soon as you see something with them.

The prophet salallahu alaihe wasalam said that when a person makes dua for their brothers or sisters behind their back, Allah sends an angel and the Angel will say each time amen for you as well.

Beware Of The Devil’s Beautification | Two Quranic Duas: Forgiveness And Progeny | CITOCS-Ep11 | Mufti Menk

Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala has created within us the love of certain things. but Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala says that if you were to be conscious of Allah while trying to get that which you love then you would definitely be in In comfort in contentment and in the Hereafter, We will grant you Paradise.

Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala tells us We know that the love of these things is within you but don’t follow the devil’s beautification of it in the wrong way rather go for it in the most beautiful way.

A beautiful dua for seeking forgiveness

رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
[آل عمران :16]

Rabbana innana amanna faghfir lana dhunuubana wa qinna ‘adhaban-Naar

Our Lord! We have indeed believed: forgive us, then, our sins, and save us from the agony of the Fire
[3:16]

Allah is in control, He raises whom He wants, He drops whom He wants. So be humble and develop your relationship with Him.

If you really love Allah, then you need to prove that love by following what the messenger (saw) has taught.

Correct Her In The Most Loving Way 🚫No License to Disrespect Someone’s Daughter | Mufti Menk

The prophet salallahu alaihe wasalam reminds us who the best from amongst us is- he (saw) Said the best from amongst you is the one who is best to his wife, primarily That’s the meaning but by extension, it includes your spouse which means either way it also includes the broader families,

Why is so much importance given to the #wife? You bring in someone’s daughter, an innocent person, someone who’s come into the house. She is the daughter of a family who loves her.

Now, you’ve brought her with the name of Allah into your care, the best from amongst you are those who can appreciate her for who she is and when you have to correct her or when you have to say something you say it in the Most loving and kind way.

You must stand up for your spouse, never use religious blackmail to oppress your own wife and to let her know or to tell her, you know heaven lies at the feet of my mother. That is statement is used as religious blackmail.

Build your relationship, be kind be good in the way you speak to each other. Don’t be very demanding.

They may like or dislike slightly differently from you. But that doesn’t mean you have the license to disrespect them and disregard who they are, honor them and Allah will give you honor.

The Reward Of Defending The Prophet (ﷺ) Intelligently….. AIYP Ep-10 | Shaykh Omar Suleiman

No person who loves Allah and the Messenger (pbuh) can be completely unaffected by the insults towards the Prophet (pbuh), by the way that the Prophet (pbuh)’s been drawn, ridiculed, portrayed, particularly in the Western image to look like what the Muslim man is being molded to be…..

When he’s (saw) being insulted, your raw emotion tells you to respond in a certain way.

When a person defends the Prophet (pbuh), not just any angel would come and support them, but maybe Jibreel (pbuh) as well because that’s what caused Jibreel to come in the life of Hassan ibn Thabit (r).

If defending your brother, in his absence,  with his honor, causes an angel to defend you and protect you, what then does that mean when we defend the Prophet (pbuh) intelligently, intellectually, emotionally, without becoming who they want us to become, and demonstrating, in the process of defending the Prophet (pbuh), the character of the Prophet (pbuh), even in that defense, so that we don’t submit to that horrific image that they’ve painted of him (pbuh).

Who Have No Fear And Sadness In The Both Worlds | CITOCS-Ep10 | Mufti Menk

When we spend we should not be giving that which we would not like to receive. What this means is when you’re giving people charity, don’t give them such food or such clothing or such items that you yourself would not take. This is a strict instruction from Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala.

Remember the charity a point that we forget, it is for Allah. It’s just that Allah has put a poor person to collect it on His behalf SubhanAllah SubhanAllah, think about it.

So give in a good cause, search for those who are in need, for indeed by reaching out to them, You will achieve a lot of goodness. So they thank Allah by praying for you too.

Be conscious of the day that you’re going to return to Allah at all times.

Be Kind Not Bragging! Why, When And How To Say Ayatulkursi Citocs-Ep9 | Mufti Menk

The almighty asks us to remember to be virtuous to one another. Remember to be kind to everyone so that if a day comes when you’re in crisis, at least you would have had a good relationship with everyone.

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.

Don’t become too proud about your power, your might, and your wealth. You are not far from Allah’s might. if Allah wants He can take it away in a Flash.

When you have, don’t be proud when you’re in power, Serve the People.

The prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him used to say if you take my soul during my sleep, then forgive it, give it paradise. And if you are to release it again and get me up from my sleep, then protect it in the way that you protect your pious servants. What a beautiful prayer!
