What A Lost People But Who! Mufti Menk

At the end of Ramadan, now what?

Allah Almighty made things compulsory in Ramadan that are not compulsory out of Ramadan, and we did those things, and we tried to do a few more things.

So I’m still going to stick to what Allah has made compulsory out of Ramadan.

But after Ramadan, there is a statement of the predecessors that they used to state, what a lost people who worship Allah only in the month of Ramadan.

Without bearing in mind that the same Allah who was in Ramadan is here out of Ramadan.

What a bad nation or what bad people who only worship Allah in the month of Ramadan, or they don’t worship Allah, except in the month of Ramadan.

When things happen to change our lives in a beautiful positive way, you begin to feel the blessings of Allah in your life.

You appreciate the halal in your life to the degree that you don’t even incline towards haram.

What Are You Celebrating On The Massive Day Of Worship- Eid! Mufti Menk

Eid is a happy day. What are you celebrating? Did you realize or do you know that you are celebrating the worship that Allah allowed you to engage in through the whole month? And what was this worship?

Allah instructed you and He asked you to do it, and then He allowed you to fulfill it, meaning He gave you the capacity to do it.

Allah is giving you a day to celebrate your closeness to Him. Make sure that you don’t do anything that will take you away from Him. That is the most important piece of advice for the Eid celebrations.

Allah Promises You This As Soon As You Realise What You Are Doing Is Wrong! Mufti Menk

Allah says, We want to reward you. Allah says, We’ll give you a month of Ramadan every year to learn discipline. Subhanallah.

The month of forgiveness; A few days are remaining. Achieve that forgiveness.

Allah Says, O people, Allah is addressing the whole world, not just Muslims. Indeed, the promise of Allah is the truth.

The promise when Allah has promised you whatever He has promised you is the truth.

Allah says, Do not let this worldly life deceive you because our promise is the truth.

The world will offer you so many things. Always ask yourself, Is this pleasing to Allah?

Allah says, No problem, man, you’re allowed to love wealth, but to a degree where it does not exceed the love of Allah.

Don’t let yourself be deceived by this temporary world.

Know The Secrets Of Seeking Laylatul Qadr Including 27th Ramadan! Mufti Menk

The narration of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, wherein he speaks about searching for the night of decree, the night of power or the night of decree in the Arabic language, Laylat al Qadr.

When we search for it, the idea is to be able to worship Allah through a number of days, not just one.

The most powerful nights are the nights of Ramadan. From them, there are powerful nights towards the second half of Ramadan. In the last 10 nights, there is a greater chance that Laylat al Qadr is in those 10, the ones we are in right now.

Then he says, search for the night of decree in the odd nights from the last 10 nights of Ramadan.

How do I search for the night?

Although Laylat al Qadr is inside Ramadan, It is one night that has the value of the whole of the rest of Ramadan and beyond.

Laylat al Qadr that night of decree is more powerful or better than a thousand months.

If everyone is rushing towards Allah, don’t be the only few left out.

Learn Two Thing For One Of The Most Difficult Things Is To ‘Forgive’! Mufti Menk

one of the most difficult things for us as human beings to do is to forgive others. It is very difficult, especially when it is done by someone who was close to you, when they’ve wronged you and they have oppressed you or harmed you or usurped your wealth or something has happened.

 

Sometimes it’s a misunderstanding. But this is the month of forgiveness. We need to talk about the most difficult of things and we need to encourage one another to forgive and to reconcile because to mend relationships is a great act of worship.

if we’re all connected, surely it means we should try our best to understand one another, to make life easy for those on earth who are our family members anyway.

Get used to not holding too much. Leave it be. Let it go.

Laylat Al Qadr will Be Never Missed With The Most Powerful Dua By This! Mufti Menk 2023

As we draw closer to the last 10 nights of Ramadan, from the 21st night, there is something known as  Itikaf, that is a sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. It’s his way. Now, it is called I’tikaf, where a person goes into… It’s not seclusion, but they go into the Masjid and they would remain in this place of worship with the idea of it serving as a spiritual retreat for the person.

 

There may be others with that person, but the idea is to develop taqwa and the consciousness of Allah, seek the forgiveness of Allah, and more than anything else, find the night of decree or Laylat al Qadr.

If Laylat al Qadr is said to be one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan, most likely one of the last odd nights from the last 10 nights of Ramadan, and most likely towards the end or the second half of the last 10 nights. So it would make it 25, 27, perhaps 29. But it does not mean it’s not going to be the 21st.

Sometimes even maybe the even nights according to some of the narration; So if the 21st night sets in as the sun is setting and you’re opening your fast, you go into the masjid and you make sure that you’ve taken whatever necessities you have, you’re going to remain in there in constant acts of worship for the next 10 nights.

You come out of that itikaf after 10 days and Insha Allah, so much goodness will be showered upon you by the blessings of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.

Listen If You Are Facing Difficulty In Balancing Family Life, Work And Worship Of Allah! Mufti Menk

Balancing your life is something important. Sometimes during the month of Ramadan, we tend to do more of one thing, neglecting our other duties. For example, because of the importance given to acts of worship, such as prayer, such as reading the Quran, such as the dhikr and the remembrance of Allah, such as going out to help people who are in need.

Sometimes we neglect our own family members. Sometimes we neglect our duties that are primary. This happens even outside of Ramadan, where the balance we strike between family life, the work we have to do, and the worship of Allah. These three things connected are all actually the worship of Allah.

Because if you take a look at the meaning of the worship of Allah, to lead your life in a way that is in the obedience of Allah and not in transgression of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. That is called worshiping Allah.

The balance that we strike when we speak about the three things, the worship of Allah, the work that we have, and the family life; In essence, it’s mainly these two things. the family life and the work, on condition that we make sure we don’t miss out that which Allah has ordained, like your prayer and everything else.

All of it should be within what Allah Almighty has taught.

Ask Yourself These Questions For Your Spiritual Development! Mufti Menk

This beautiful month of Ramadan, Allah Almighty wants us to do as much as we can and to push ourselves. How much of Quran did you read today? That’s a question.

The month of Ramadan comes by in order for us to get closer to Allah in the form of taqwa, meaning the consciousness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.

The month of Ramadan comes and Allah expects us to have improved. we will be judged by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala based on how we were at the end of our lives. We still have some time, Insha Allah, although we don’t know how long.

But the fact that we’re awake right now, we’re alive right now, we’re alert right now, we can make an intention by His will to change for the sake of Allah, to develop for the sake of Allah.

Why Does The Quran say Not To Raise Your Voice Sound Like The Braying Of Donkeys! Mufti Menk

Character and conduct is something that Allah Almighty has enshrined and shown us an example in the beautiful Prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him. In fact, when Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, was asked about the character of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, she said his character was an embodiment of the Quran.

Similarly, when the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, spoke himself, he says, The best from amongst you are those with best character. Similarly, he said, The best from amongst you are those who are best to their wives or their family members.

Islam has come about with teaching you to worship your Maker alone. Then what Allah Almighty wants you to do once you have fulfilled the rights of his, of the Maker, you fulfill what is known as the rights of the creatures, the worshipers,..

Before you say something, think about how you can say it and look at the options you have and choose the best possible option. That is when you’re a true believer.
