My brothers, my sisters, let's take this life
seriously.
Let's take our connection with Allah Almighty seriously,
and let's understand.
If we don't build ourselves and our connection
with Allah Almighty, it is us who stand
to lose.
Never have you had a person
who has built a good relation with Allah
Almighty and regretted it. No one. Not one.
You try and ask those who are very
close to Allah, do you ever regret reading
Quran? Do you ever regret your salah? Do
you ever regret your fasting, your ibadah? Do
you ever regret They'll say no. I don't
regret it. If they were truthful, they don't
regret it.
If they were true in the in what
they did, they cannot regret. It will bring
them closer and closer to Allah. So my
brothers, my sisters,
these opportunities are rare.
The opportunities to gather in order to listen
to what Allah Almighty has
decreed and dictated.
Do you know a gathering like this?
There is the presence of angels, and the
angels are praying for us because we have
gathered in order to remember Allah.
And it's blessed when we leave from here,
remember a few things.
Change one thing in your life at least.
1.
If you have changed one thing in your
life when you leave here,
this was a successful event.
But if you go outside and someone says,
how was the event? Oh, it was very
nice. We were all there. Powerful. Beautiful. We
heard the speeches. They were so beautiful.
What did they say?
Yeah. It was very good. It was nice.
Very beautiful. Strong speech. But what did they
say? It was so strong. You should have
been there. And my brother, you don't even
know what they said. You can't even remember
what they said.
Don't do that. Remember,
we were told let's turn to Allah without
waiting
for a chance when we are pushed to
that. Sometimes, we might not get that, and
sometimes,
even if an opportunity comes, who knows? You
may not turn.
Those who wait for,
you know, I I want to change my
life, but I'm young.
I want to change my life, but I'm
young. A lot of people say that. I'm
still young. I'm only 25.
How many people have left at 24,
23, 20? How many have gone? Your own
friends are gone. How can you say that
I'm young? We are not too young to
obey Allah.
Worship Him. Try.
