Allah Will Help You By Hook Or Crook

This evening when I was outside, a sister

came to me and told me, pray for

me. My Iman is weak. I said, sister,

Allah will help you with it by hook

or crook.

Subhanallah.

Subhanallah.

May Allah grant her goodness and all of

us, myself included goodness. May Allah grant us

death upon La ilaha illallah.

My brothers and sisters, as I speak, there

are thousands of people who are not Muslim,

who are studying the Quran and studying the

life of Nabi salallahu alayhi wasallam and being

inspired

by true Muslims.

But you and I who are Muslim,

what are we doing with the Quran?

Are we going to read it? Are we

going to be inspired by it? Are we

going to understand

us the ability to appreciate

the status

of His word.

May Allah Almighty grant us goodness. Ameen.

My brothers, my sisters,

remember that if Allah has chosen you, Allah

Almighty will make easy for you to do

good. And this is Allah. Allah Almighty says

when you have a good heart and you

are generous and you care for others, He

will slowly but surely make easy for you

the deeds that are pleasing to Him. And

when you are arrogant and haughty and you

are miserly and you don't spend on others

and you're only worried about yourself, Allah says

He facilitates for you deeds that will result

in you

unplugging from Him and distancing from Allah. Read

Suratul Layl

verses I explained them just before I recited

them. May Allah Almighty grant us ease in

a way that brings us closer and closer

to Him as the days pass. My brothers

and sisters, many of us are struggling with

faith.

Connect with the Quran. Read a little bit

of it, A portion of it. Make an

effort. Without making an effort, you're not going

to get anywhere. Listen to what Allah says.

Those who are going to strive

and work hard and struggle,

strive towards

us. You strive towards Allah. You want to

get Allah. You are serious and genuine about

your claim

that you would like to get closer to

Allah. You want to strengthen your faith in

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Allah says, We will

definitely guide them towards our paths. We will

definitely open for them the doors that will

lead them to us. So many doors lead

you towards Allah. Your prayer leads you towards

Allah.

Your charity leads you towards Allah.

Allah says lend Allah a beautiful loan. What's

the meaning of that?

Do so much of good and be so

charitable that you'll have lent Allah alone. He

needs to recompense it for you. Did Allah

not promise you when you do salah, I

will reward you. When you've given Zakah, I

will reward you. When you struggle and strive

towards pleasing us, I will reward you. Where

is that reward?

In this world we may or may not

see it,

but in the hereafter I'm waiting. Why? I

lent Allah a good loan. I'm going to

see it come back to me multiplied

by the will of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

When you see the reward of the patients

that you bore because you were terminally ill,

you will say to Allah, why didn't you

keep me ill for a longer time? This

is an amazing,

beautiful reward. When you see the reward that

Allah has kept in store for you for

standing at night in prayer, for getting up

against all odds in the cold weather. You

will think to yourself, I should have done

this longer and I should have actually done

this for a longer time and started earlier

a turning point in the right direction. Amen.

a turning point in the right direction. Amen.
