Mufti Menk – The best of deeds are these!

			The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him says Pharaoh, la Malema De Molay. He we're in the best of
deeds, the one that is consistent even if it is a little. So let's get used to this by the will of
Allah subhanho wa Taala we will definitely be able to earn the blessings that Allah has kept in the
consistency. Like I said, if he has said this, he knows why he is saying it. How much Quran are you
going to read? Please do half a page a day, please do a quarter page a day but do it every day?
		

			How much extra prayer are you going to be engaging in soon and nothing many of us do the follow up.
And we walk off saying that, well, that's what I have to do the compulsory but what about the extra
voluntary bit, at least choose one or two of the prayers where you can do the voluntary but as well
Fajr being the most important one, which we should try our best never to miss. May Allah Almighty
protect us. And if we get ourselves used to these things, and we do these beautiful deeds, even if
they're a little consistently, then Alhamdulillah, we will become closer to Allah subhanho wa taala.
I want to address the matter of clothing as well. Sometimes we don't realize that we're clothed in
		

			such a beautiful way that we'll be pleasing to Allah Almighty, one day, and the next day, we're
dressed in a way that would be pleasing to shave. I'm sorry to say that, but it's happening. Rather,
we maintain a consistency throughout. And we dress in an appropriate way every day, in such a way
that if I were to die suddenly in a crash or some circumstances, or just drop dead, it's happening
to so many people, I would be in a condition that is pleasant, I would have been trying, I would
have had this beautiful consistency. So we thank Allah for giving us an opportunity to share these
words of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him his advice and the words of the Quran as well. When
		

			we utter words, Allah says we're calling a baddie kulula To hear us and tell my worship is to say
that which is the best surah Taha Jura warns us about belittling people mocking them, calling them
bad names, making life difficult for people in that particular way, hurting their hearts. So if we
get used to smiling, addressing people respectfully, it might seem like a small thing, but in the
eyes of Allah, it's massive, it major, Allah will give you a great reward when you do it. And there
is a great punishment when you do the opposite. So therefore my brothers and sisters, let's develop
a link with Allah. Let's continue even outside of Ramadan throughout the year. Let's continue to do
		

			deeds a little you might have been reading more in Ramadan, which is correct, you will read less
perhaps outside of Ramadan, but be consistent. If you want you to a page a day or two pages a day.
Keep it going, your car, keep them going. Your whatever you're doing, keep it going. If you're
sitting and reading books to your children or something beneficial or an activity, keep it going.
That consistency is what is very blessed. And Allah Almighty will grant us the blessings of this
world and the next May Allah help us to do good deeds, and May Allah help us to maintain the
consistency
