I’m busy thinking to myself that as much as we say we have to interact with the people next to us in a beautiful way, as much as we say we have to interact with them, ask yourself, am I in a position that those around me would actually be pleased to interact with a guy like me.
We need to love each other. Give people reason to love you, not to hate you. Then if they want to hate you, it’s okay. It’s better for you, it’s not bad.
But if you were the reason, then come, let’s address the matter.
The Quran says We created you from a droplet. I don’t recall. I don’t remember a thing. I now know that I was there, I’m in awe of the Maker.
Every one of us was a champion at one stage. Why? Because that was the droplet of semen that actually won the race, fertilized. You won. You came on earth a winner. Remember this.
If you take a look at Allah Almighty’s plan, many times people forget that before birth, before they were born, we believe all of us were with Allah (swt) But we don’t remember as sophisticated it as we are right now, we don’t remember the day we were born, or the first few days, or even the first year, perhaps.
We believe we are too sophisticated to just disappear one day.
Between you and something you never dreamt of, which was going to be called the life of the dunya.
There was just a membrane. You had to cross one membrane for you to witness something. Today you don’t remember, but you know you went through it.
When you thought there was nothing to come, something came. What came? A life.
Allah Almighty tells you, in the same way, you’re going to cross another membrane one day into a life that’s going to be everlasting….
A believer is told, don’t worry, just prepare for the day by trying to achieve the mercy of Allah, because the mercy of Allah is what is going to bring you into heaven, paradise.
Allah blesses you with one whole month. Such a beautiful month that before it, we begin to prepare.
More important than anything is to ensure that you don’t waste the reward of the fast by abusing and talking. Watch your tongue.
if you spend the month with this consciousness, Allah will open the doors for you.
the issue of repentance and seeking forgiveness is very important.
Don’t wait to say, by the end of Ramadan, I’m going to be forgiven. before Ramadan, seek the forgiveness of Allah.
Reconcile between yourselves and your brothers and sisters and mend the relationships between you, please.
The recent event, the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, showed us that when death arrives in many instances, it doesn’t give anybody a heads up.
When death finally arrives, no amount of crying will ever quell the pain and the regret of an unresolved fallout between and the regret of an unresolved fall out between you and another Muslim.
*Allah Says, ‘Be fearful of Allah and mend the relationships between one another.’
Acknowledge your weakness and allow that to appear in your decisions, my brother, and realize, man was created weak. Man is so weak, and this recent event exposed that weakness.
*Because when death arrives, no opportunity will be given. And there you will realize as you cry, no amount of fame, no amount of money, no dispute, no fall out was worth the pain of an unresolved fall out between you and another Muslim.
Watch your tongue, Your tongue is important. Say good things. Come on, man. From your mouth, say nice things. The people you live with, tell them beautiful words. Let them smile. Let them blush also. Your own spouse, let them blush.
People say that to the wrong people. Why can’t you say to the right person? Subhanallah
Take your time in Sujood (prostration). Beautify your prayer, take time in Sujood. Don’t just rush, take your time. Allah, Lord of the world, it might be the last Sujud (prostration),
try not to use the word quickly and salah in the same sentence.
I’m not going to say I’m rushing, it might just be my last prayer.
How can I say even for a moment that let me quickly do my salah?
I want to do salah, I want to pray, oh, I want to fulfill my salah.
It is only if something is the most important event in the year or month in the year that we will be speaking in advance regarding the preparation of the month of Ramadan.
To prepare for the month of Ramadan, you need to start off by thinking about what it is, how blessed the month is.
Happiness and contentment is achieved primarily by understanding Allah’s plan. By understanding, you have to worship Allah alone. You have to build a relationship with the one whom you are going to go back to one day helplessly. Helplessly. I’m going to go back to Allah.
That’s what I want to say today, that your preparation for Ramadan is a commitment from now to say, I’ve started it.
Today, for some petty reasons, your father could tell you divorce your wife. What is right for you to do?
You need to ask yourself, is my father right or is my wife right?
Amazing verse in the Quran;
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allāh, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allāh is more worthy of both.1 So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allāh is ever, of what you do, Aware. Quran- 4:135
Surah An-Nisa, which is obviously dedicated to the women. One thing that is clear in the Surah, Allah has repeated the issue of justice several times in the Surah.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala grant us an understanding that when we came, we brought nothing. When we are going to leave, we will leave with nothing besides our deeds.
Allah says, O you who believe, stand stead fast for justice, for the sake of Allah, whether it be against your own parents or your relatives, your children, whoever it may be, the rich or the poor.
You side with who is right. Your father, your mother, who is right?
The answer is when it comes to who is right. You’ve got to look at what the issue is.
The All-Loving
