Death and poverty are two things that almost every human being worries about. In this episode of the Supplication Series, Mufti Ismael Menk talks about certain supplications from the Sunnah that deal with death, wealth and knowledge. We all pray for a good life but it is also very important to pray for a good ending. He also talks about du’as where we ask Allah to give us barakha in our wealth and keep us away from poverty, disgrace and oppression. The Third du’a he mentions is for knowledge and halal income.
It is important to remember Allah not only in good times (with gratefulness), or in bad times, to ask for help, but in our everyday life. In this episode of the Supplication Series, Mufti Ismail Menk teaches us a du’a from the Sunnah that we should read to make our daily life better. In this du’a we ask for many things including enough fear of Allah, enough knowledge of the deen, good use of our hearing and sight and victory in bad times among many things.
There are certain things in our life that can cause mental stress. Mental stress is something really bad because it cannot be seen or heard by anyone. In this episode of the Supplication Series, Mufti Ismail Menk talks about this du’a from the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) where he would ask Allah to protect him from certain things that cause mental stress in our lives like debt, laziness harms of wealth and trials that are caused by poverty. The du’a also seeks protections from the fitnah of the dajjal.
Depression and anxiety are becoming very common in our times. In this episode of the Supplication Series, Mufti Ismail Menk discusses some important du’as that could be very beneficial in our daily lives. In these du’a we ask Allah to protect us from old age, miserliness, helplessness, anxiety and sadness among many other things that are effecting so many Muslims of our times.
Seerah Conference 2018, Doha Qatar, Day 2
As there were many lessons learnt from the pre Hijri period, there are now just as many if not more to be taken from the post hijrah period.
Sheikh Menk makes it easy for us to glean those lessons by dissecting the incidents of this time. Lessons of social etiquette, of government policies, lessons of a closer more personal nature too.
Much is to be learnt from the battles that were fought, from the diplomatic ties that were established during the post hijrah period. When to stand and fight for eg in BAdr and Ahzab; when to leave as during Uhud and the cancelled Pilgrimage at Hudaibiyah.
When to focus on the small things like showing mercy to babes and the kuffar and when to focus on the larger picture as during the Hudaibiyah Agreement.
Find the time to listen to the venerable Sheikh expanding on all these and more lessons to be taken from the post hijrah period of our great history.
Seerah Convention Doha Qatar. In this one hour talk the learned Sheikh addresses pre Hijra Makkah from the perspective of Islam and the treatment of the Prophet s.a.w. and early Muslims. We are reminded of the ethics of the Arabs and their steadfastness to culture. Then we are 'taken' on the trials and tribulations of the early Muslims and their firmness to the faith in the face of the cruelty that the Arabs threw upon them. A talk worth listening to remind ourselves that in times of hardship faith and will power are needed to ride the waves of persecution.
This is a roughly twenty minute talk by the knowledgeable Sheikh. Here he reminds the dire need for muslims to focus on the halal all the time and to abhor the Haram as did the companions of the Prophet s.a.w.
Know that every king has limits and Allah's limit are those things He has made haram. Because the energy that you derive is Haram and a single morsel of haram has an impact on your whole body and future. If you are prepared to transgress Allah's limit then you will not hesitate to go beyond.
We are living in trying times where everything has become commercial. Bear in mind that Syaitan comes to you bit by bit and makes you reduce the value of haram so that in your eyes so that you start justifying something that is clearly haram because you used to justify that which was doubtful.
If you are not bothered with halal and haram then you will not be bothered with transgressing the limits of Allah. Thus stay away from the doubtful so you do not go beyond Allah's limits. Become halal lovers for the sake of loving Allah.
