Mufti Menk – Allah Will Take Care Of You Without Transitions

Allah says,

Seek help and assistance through a beautiful patience.

You need to know Allah is there. Allah

created you in the 1st place. He will

take care of you. Don't worry.

He will indeed take care of you and

he will make sure that you live your

exact prescribed time on earth.

It's not going to change by a fraction

of a second,

neither this way nor that way.

So Allah is telling the believers seek

assistance

through patience. And then he says, and prayer.

Prayer. Pray a lot. Call out to Allah.

Your 5 daily prayers. Do them enthusiastically.

Be excited about praying. Don't just get it

over and done with, but be excited. Wash

yourself thoroughly, properly for the sake of Allah.

Be clean. Be smart.

Keep yourselves clean. When the Almighty tells you

to wash yourself in ablution, you need to

know there is a reason He's saying wash

your hands 5 times a day. There is

a reason he's saying keep yourself clean and

smart.

If you were to go to the bathroom,

make sure that you've cleansed yourself. All this

is in order to bring about a comfort

in times of crisis.

Whenever the prophet

was faced with a crisis of some nature,

the first thing he did,

he rushed

to prayer.

Who are we? We are the followers of

Muhammad, peace be upon him. We should also

be rushing to prayer. Whenever there is a

crisis, for him it was not a real

crisis. He knew he was the messenger of

Allah. For us, we face crisis, but when

we

rush to prayer, we will be comforted by

Allah. Put your head on the ground and

call out to your maker. The closest you

could ever be to your maker is when

you are in prostration.

The closest that a slave could be to

his maker is when his head is on

the ground for his maker,

crying to his maker, oh my maker help

me. I need your help. Allah will respond.

Allah says, you will be comforted.

Seek help through patience

and prayer for indeed Allah is with those

who bear patience.
