			My beloved brothers my sisters, it's important for us to realize that Allah Almighty has instructed
us to believe in Him and to be conscious of him. For Amin la he was really he was into meno Taku
fella come on alim. And if you believe in Allah and you are conscious of him, then indeed for you is
a great reward. So I asked you, my brothers and sisters, to develop the correct relationship with
Allah to improve on your relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala and to believe in Him for Indeed
he is your maker and mine, and the maker of entire creation. My brothers, my sisters, Allah Almighty
has chosen the messengers, those who came to us bringing his message.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:46
			Allah Almighty has chosen them from the very beginning and he has selected those who are the best in
every way. And therefore if we look at what the Quran says, it speaks to us about the character and
conduct of these messengers and prophets. And Allah subhanho wa Taala says, he chose them from the
very beginning from Adam, Noah, and all those who followed in Allah has tuffa Dhamma 101 Ibrahim
Allah Imran Allah al Amin, Luria. Tomba, Abu Hamid wala who sent me an alien. Indeed Allah has
chosen Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the Family of Imran over the world's descendants,
some of them from others and Allah is all hearing and knowing.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:02:04
			From this, we learned that Allah Almighty chooses from us and gives people different gifts. The gift
that Allah bestowed upon these messengers was the fact that they were chosen to carry the message to
the rest of us.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:27
			If you look at the outstanding characteristics of these messengers, we take a look at Ibrahim
alayhis salam, the father of the prophets who came after him. Allah Almighty says in Ibrahim Allah
halimun, A WA Huni, mentioning the qualities of Ibrahim alayhi salam, indeed, Abraham was forbearing
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			he often grieved
		
00:02:31 --> 00:03:18
			and he was asked, returning in repentance to Allah subhanho wa taala. He was very Clement, when we
say he often grieved, he was a person who constantly considered his relationship with Allah, and he
lamented over things that he may have done that he could have done better, although he is the
messenger of Allah subhanho wa taala. In our whole kindness article, wordy when Allah speaks of his
man, the son of Ibrahim, Allah Almighty says, Indeed he was true to his promise. How many of us are
true to our promise Unto Allah subhanho wa taala. Indeed, these are characteristics that make
leaders if we would like to succeed in this life, these are the characteristics, often turning to
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:36
			Allah, one who is truthful in their promises, one who grieves over their condition and considers how
they can improve themselves. Then Allah Almighty speaks about some of the other prophets of Allah.
And Allah says,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:04:23
			Minister submarine. They were all from those who bore patients, they went through struggles, they
went through trials, they went through challenges, every single one of them, both patients, this is
a lesson for you and I, to bear patients in our lives, things may happen, and we will have to be
patience. This is what Allah Almighty has chosen for the messengers. And this is what we should be
learning lesson from thereafter. When Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about some of the other
messengers that he has sent. No Hala is Salam. For example, Allah Almighty says, Inna, who can up
the den shakoora Indeed, he was a slave who was very thankful. If you look at his message, he called
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:58
			people towards goodness for hundreds of years. But still he was grateful to Allah. Allah says, Can
Abdun chakra he used to often think Allah, and he was a person who was grateful for what Allah had
bestowed upon him. Indeed, my brothers and sisters being grateful would in definitely increase the
goodness that we have been bestowed with by Allah subhanho wa taala. Then Allah Almighty speaks
about Isa, ye hear. Ye Hear ye Salam. Allah says what cannot
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			be
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00

00:05:01 --> 00:05:54

to his parents. This means being dutiful and kind and respectful to your parents is a great
characteristic. It is a characteristics of the prophets of Allah subhanho wa Taala those who were
chosen by Allah Almighty. Similarly, when it comes to isa Ali salaam, Allah says, while saying what
he said is Salam said, when he was a little infant in the cradle, he says, Allah has made me dutiful
to my mother, and he has not made me a wretched tyrant. This is Allah Almighty. favoriting the

characteristics, their conduct, we should also try and emulate to the best of our ability and this
is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is described in the Quran, we're in Allah Allah, of
