Ibraheem Menk – Sustenance

If we are to take a look at

our bodies in the mirror, we will see

that there is a point at which you

have got a hole in your belly and

that hole is known as the belly button.

We were once connected to our mothers through

this hole and we receive nutrition by this

very means and Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal

sustained us through that cord that attached us

to our mothers known as the umbilical cord

And then you find fast forward 12, 20,

30, 40 years later, 50 years later and

the adult human being feels that he has

the right to shout in the face of

his parents and at times it reaches a

point where the person is ready to be

violent with their very own parents.

Yet Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal sustained that

child through those parents, Allahu Akbar.

And in reality, we need to ask ourselves

at this juncture that what are we doing?

How can we behave in this manner?
