Mufti Menk – It’s not too late!

			My brothers and sisters, it is also very important to understand that Allah subhanho wa Taala has
taught us something amazing for koroni korakuen washko Roni, wanna attack fo?
		

			Remember me and I shall remember you
		

			and be thankful to me and don't be ungrateful, amazing. Two beautiful reminders. The first one is,
remember me and I shall remember you. Yes, some might argue that well, the Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him says to Allah, Allah, Allah, he
		

			should get acquainted with the almighty during your days of ease. And during times of difficulty, he
will be acquainted with you, meaning he will come to your assistance, he will remember you. Some
might argue that that means it's too late for us not at all. Yes, that is a very valid reminder. But
if we have turned away from the almighty in the past, it's not too late to remember him. In fact, it
is a sign of the mercy the love of Allah for you and die. If things like these help us to turn
towards him. It is a sign of love to Allah. Imagine, if we became closer to him and mended our ways,
wow, what a gift of Allah it is upon us. So if you remember Allah, He will remember you, He will
		

			give you the calmness he will give you that particular contentment that you're searching for, even
in the midst of such great difficulty and hardship
		

			or such uncertainty. And in the case of many anxiety, may Allah subhanho wa Taala safeguard us. So
to remember Allah is something very important. Allah will remember you. The second part of that
verse was cruelly you will attack for Don't be thankful and don't be ungrateful. That is also
absolutely important because at times like these, we should count the favors of Allah upon us when
the whole world is looking at what's going wrong. We should look at what has gone right? Look at us,
Mashallah many of us, we still have clothing, we still have accommodation, we still have a bit of
food, we still have so much others to not have. I draw your attention to something very interesting.
		

			There are people on the globe who have far less than us, but they are much more grateful than us to
the Almighty. Think about that. People who have less than a 10th of what we have, and they are more
than 10,000 times grateful to Allah or 10,000 times more grateful to Allah than we are. When we have
so much we have 10 times more than them. And we are so ungrateful. Sometimes we don't even thank the
Almighty, sometimes we don't even fulfill the obligations that he has placed on our shoulders. May
Allah make us regular with the obligations that he has placed on our shoulders, and may He make us
from those who can abstain from the prohibitions that he has declared. So those two matters are
		

			very, very interesting. Remember the Almighty He will remember you be thankful and don't be
ungrateful.
