My brothers and sisters,
it's important for us to know that
the connection we have with one another
would never have been there,
if we were not connected with Allah.
You know me only because
we both know Allah. There is no other
reason
why we know each other. Do you agree?
Say, Alhamdulillah.
Because to know one another for the sake
of Allah and to love each other for
the sake of Allah,
the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, clearly
says those people will get a special place
on the day of judgment.
2 people who love each other for the
sake of Allah.
They came together for Allah, they departed for
Allah. Those they deserve
the shade on the day of judgment from
Allah
So, we thank Allah. I always sit and
and think about the gifts of Allah and
the favors upon us.
What is the biggest gift you have? Is
it not iman?
The fact that I worship
the one who made me alone,
Only He who made me. I believe and
you believe.
The only one worthy of worship is the
one who made me.
The fact that I arrived at that conclusion
by the blessing of Allah, and I was
guided to it, is the biggest favor you
have. So, never render acts of worship to
anyone besides Allah because
the shahada that you and I say, ashhaduallahuillahaillalla
waashhaduanna
Muhammadan Rasulullah
It would mean I bear witness that there
is none worthy of worship
besides
Allah. And I bear witness that Muhammad, peace
be upon him, is his messenger and his
prophet. Subhanallah.
