Mufti Menk – Are You Favoured By Allah

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03

Assalamu Alaikum. The favor of Allah upon people.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

So many different favors. The biggest of them

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

is Iman, belief in Allah

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

Sometimes we think that these are the favors

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

of Allah without realizing that there are better

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

favors.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

You can travel anywhere you want in the

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

world but if Allah Almighty brings you to

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

Makkah, he has favored you and if Allah

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

puts it in your heart to come for

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

Umrah, he has favored you and if Allah

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

accepts you to come for Hajj, he has

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

favored you. These are some of the greatest

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

favors in terms of the places that you

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

can visit. So don't forget that. You know,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

to come to Makkatul Mukarama,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

it is definitely one of the biggest

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

favors of Allah because it's the best place

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

on earth

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

in terms of the value of the salah

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

that is fulfilled here. The fact that Hajj

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

cannot be done except here in Makkatul Mukarama.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

Similarly,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

a visit to Madinah Munawara,

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

Masjidun Nabawi, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's grave

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

is there, Baqir is there full of history.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

In fact, the exact place where the prophet

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

is buried is the best place on earth.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

May Allah Almighty bring us here again and

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

again. May Allah grant all of us every

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

goodness and may Allah Almighty

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

help us to realize what is a better

00:01:20 --> 00:01:20

favor.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

May Allah favor us with iman,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

good company

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

and visiting the best of places. Amen.
