Mufti Menk – Seek His Forgiveness And He Will Fulfill Your Needs

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

But if you've

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

had a bad relationship with someone,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

and you've been right on the other side

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

of the, you know,

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

the coin completely,

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

and you're

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

saying, do me a favor, I need this,

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

I need this. And I say, for what?

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

They wouldn't even look in your direction. You

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

wouldn't even feel comfortable asking them. So

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

Allah's example is far higher than that, far

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

greater. Allah is merciful. He's kind. He knows

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

you. He knows your struggles. He knows your

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

uniqueness. He knows your trials.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

Sometimes a person appears to be very, very

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

close to Allah. They have struggles.

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

Their struggles are hidden from others.

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

They know what they are working on in

00:00:36 --> 00:00:40

terms of eradicating their bad habits. A dark

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

habit you may have. It happens. We are

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

human beings. You may have something. If it

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

were to be exposed to the masses, you

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

would probably be embarrassed. If it were to

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

be exposed to your own spouse, you might

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

be embarrassed. So it's between you and Allah.

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

Allah knows it, you know it. Work on

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

it.

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

Work on it. You can do better. You

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

will do better. You shall do better because

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

there are so many other things that you

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

need from the same Allah whom you're transgressing

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

against.

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

One of the most important things is Jannah.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

I need paradise.
