Mufti Menk – Life Changing Trip

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

Amazing. Masha Allah. How was your trip to

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

Umrah? Nice? Yeah. It was really good. My

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

beloved parents,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

listen to what she is saying, and let's

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

take a page. Because

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

the trip that you make for umrah, as

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

much as people say it's full, it's packed,

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

it's like this, let's go later, let's not

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

go now, you go and take your children

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

with you. Wallahi, it is life changing.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

It is life changing. It's become so easy

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

to travel for Umrah and to come back.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:25

Subhanallah.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

It is life changing. That experience I know

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

of people who were not Muslim and decided

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

we're going to go to see what's up

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

there. And when they were told you you

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

can't really go beyond a certain point, they

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

said, well, we're not gonna tell anyone.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

They say that when we went there, as

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

soon as we saw what was happening,

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

we decided, listen, we are Muslims. Subhanallah, we

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

are part of this. This is where we

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

belong. So look at how Allah brought some

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

people to do that. I mean, it's just

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

a lesson that I want to draw from

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

that to say

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

our children actually benefit so much just by

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

seeing places that are given great value by

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

Allah Almighty. The same applies to the month

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

of Ramadan.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

It's a time that's given value. That is

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

a place that's given value and so on.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

May Allah bless you and grant you barakah

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

and goodness and thank you so much for

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

sharing that with us. And I pray that

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

you can, you know, walk on this beautiful

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

path with such calmness and serenity.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

Sometimes what happens is when we become more

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

and more religious,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

unfortunately,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

some people become

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

arrogant and develop a chip on their shoulders

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

and begin to belittle and look down upon

00:01:37 --> 00:01:37

others.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

Don't ever allow that to happen to you.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

As you develop in the obedience of Allah,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

learn to respect others, learn to soften towards

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

them and learn to show them the beauty

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

of this faith and the religion that we

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

have that is filled with so much in

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

terms of morals and values and so on.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:55

Jazakumullahake.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

Thank you so much.
