Mufti Menk – Renew Your Connection With Allah

			My beloved
		

			brothers and sisters who are seated here, I'm
		

			not taking any more,
		

			you know,
		

			any more
		

			conversations or
		

			contributions. But if there is someone with a
		

			shahada, you can let me know.
		

			In the meantime,
		

			I want to say something.
		

			Notice how people's lives
		

			are changing to the degree that they are
		

			saying their Shahada
		

			and making a commitment to Allah.
		

			You and I who are already Muslims
		

			should be moved to the degree
		

			that we should also
		

			renew our connection with Allah.
		

			It is a movement. Why I say this?
		

			My brothers, my sisters, Allah says in the
		

			Quran
		

			If you are going to turn away,
		

			Allah says, We replace you with someone else.
		

			Easy.
		

			And they won't be like you. They will
		

			be better. So my fear a lot of
		

			the times
		

			is people come in.
		

			I hope those who are in it already
		

			strengthen themselves
		

			so that
		

			we're not just replaced.
		

			Subhanallah,
		

			it's a very interesting point.
		

			And this is why we say, my brothers,
		

			my sisters, thank Allah. You have the goodness.
		

			Those who don't have it, when they look
		

			at you, they feel, I want to be
		

			a Muslim. I want to really do good.
		

			I want to feel the comfort and the
		

			calmness that these people have.
		

			And yet we happen to be drifting away.
		

			Is that fair? Is that how it should
		

			be?
		

			Inshallah, we can do better.
