Mufti Menk – Trust Allah! He is in Control!

			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa sallahu wa sallahu wa salam ala Baraka Allah
Mallanna BIA Bada who were Allah, Allah, he was so happy here Jermaine,
		

			my beloved brothers, my sisters,
		

			we are Muslim. A Muslim is a person who submits Unto Allah, Allah Malaysia to Angela, a Muslim is a
person. A Muslim is a person who does what Allah Almighty wants and how do I know what Allah
Almighty wants? He sent to us messengers from the very beginning to remind us to worship Him alone,
which is the most important message.
		

			He sent messengers and from the very beginning, Adam Alayhi Salatu was Salam reminded his own
children to worship Allah alone. She alayhi salam reminded his people, his children, his family, to
worship Allah alone. No, no or may peace be upon him, reminded his people to turn back to Allah
alone. And if we go further and further we will find all the messengers of Allah with exactly the
same message. That message was to worship Allah alone, Who is Allah, Allah is the worshipped one, He
who made entire creation, that is Allah, He who made you and I, that is Allah, he whom I am going to
return to, after I die and you and entire creation when it comes to an end, we'll be returning to
		

			none other than the one who made this creation in the first place. Allah Allah is that you will
learn.
		

			So if you look at the message of all the messengers, it is identical when it comes to who you should
worship. There was never a discrepancy, never a change. There was never any difference of opinion
among the messengers, even though they came one after the other, they all called towards worshiping
the maker alone, whoever made you,
		

			you worship Him alone, and who is he? He is the worshipped one Allah, none other than Allah. He has
names He has qualities that are uniquely his, no one shares any of the qualities of Allah to the
degree or the level of
		

			that which Allah holds. When you say this person is very forgiving. He's not on the level of Allah.
Allah is gonna foreign foreign Rahim. etc. These are the names of Allah, Allah is Most forgiving.
You and I, we might forgive small things. Wait until something big happens. And then something
bigger happens and something even bigger happens. We have limits Allah has no limits. Allah can do
what he wants Philo Lima, Yuri read, he continues to do whatever he wishes, whatever he wants.
Nothing happens on Earth except by the will of Allah. He knows about it. He lets it be. It is Allah
He is in control. But it's all part of a test for all of us.
		

			Life is short. One day is good. One day is bad. One day is for you. One day is against you, my
brothers, my sisters. Believe in Allah. If you have a relation with Allah, The Good Day is
Alhamdulillah the bad day is also Alhamdulillah there are five prayers a day on a good day it is
five on a bad day it is still five Subhanallah In fact, when something bad happens, we get closer to
Allah today. We are seated here. We thank Allah that Allah has given us a chance to sit in his
beautiful house. This is the house of Allah. We are so many in number. Why are we here because there
is an instruction of Allah.
		

			You are here and I am here to worship Allah to listen to a good word that will bring me closer to
Allah to develop my Yaqeen and conviction in Allah. Do you have a guarantee? That tonight will be a
happy night? Do you have a guarantee that you are going to be alive tonight? Tonight is far before
tonight. There is no guarantee people can pass away here and now sometimes who knows what might
happen as we live? May Allah Almighty grant us janitorial for DOS, may Allah give us a good death.
May Allah help us the reason I say that from the very beginning Allah wants
		

			As to worship Him alone. And Allah Almighty wants us to do what he has instructed that instruction
he sent messengers all these prophets of Allah and who is the final Nabhi? Who is the final
messenger of Allah? Muhammad Abdullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what did he teach? When it comes
to belief and Aqeedah? He taught exactly what Jesus taught May peace be upon him, he taught exactly
what Moses taught May peace be upon him. What was that worship your maker alone and no one else
Moses May peace be upon him said Worship your maker alone, and no one else, Harun May peace be upon
him same thing. Ibrahim the Prophet Abraham May peace be upon him. What did he say? He said, Do not
		

			worship the sun, do not worship the moon. Don't worship the stars don't worship creation, worship
the one who made you alone. What Jana has to watch you hear me let the firepower Osama wah
		

			wah honey? Well,
		

			I mean, most shrinking, I have turned my face to the One Who created the heavens and the earth. Pure
impure pure worship of Him alone. And I am not going to associate partners with Allah, you and I as
Muslims, we do sujood what is sujood so do this prostration omitted to us Judah Allah Subhana Allah,
the Prophet peace be upon him says I have been instructed to prostrate on seven bones. What are the
seven bones? l Jabba the forehead and the nose is the same bone wha Shara BIA de la and V? Well,
Leah Dany will rock Botania ultrafilter domain, the hands that's another two so one plus to the
knees. That's another two that is now five. And then we chose your toes they go down right when you
		

			are in sujood they are touching the ground. So seven bones. What is that?
		

			That is the highest level of a burden is when you are on the lowest physical point. Subhanallah
look, my head is on the ground. Allah says Allah caribou, Maya Kannada Abdullah behavoir who are
sajit the closest my worshiper is to me when he is Institute. But where are you? I am right down
right down to the ground. Subhanallah when you are close to the ground, you are closer to Allah.
Have you thought of it? Allah says you want to be close to me, the closest you can ever get to me is
in the position of prostration sujood. But you are never, ever allowed to make sujood for anyone or
anything besides Allah, that is an a badass and all a badass all acts of worship, that is an act of
		

			worship and all acts of worship are only and solely for Allah. None other than Allah. Now, if Allah
has made me and he told me Worship Me alone, how do I know what and how to worship Allah? How do I
know? Should I wave my hands? Should I blink my eyes? Should I turn my head? Should I stomp my feet?
Should I hit the drums? What should I do? What is going to be pleasing to Allah? Is it from my
brain? The answer is no. It's not from your brain. Allah must decide how he wants me to worship him.
I cannot do it on my own. I need to know.
		

			Some people when they want to worship Allah, they just do anything and say I'm sure Allah will be
happy to wish what do you what are you talking about? You can just shake your head like this and say
I'm sure Allah will be happy with the what is that? Where did you get it from? Did someone teach
you? If they did, who was it? If it came from Allah through the messengers, you are right, if it
came from someone else, you are wrong, no matter how right you think you are, you're wrong because
Allah did not teach you that. So acts of worship are solely for Allah and the acts of worship are
determined solely by Allah no one else may Allah Almighty make a strong you want to read the Quran
		

			read as much as you want. It isn't a bada. You will fulfill your five Salah fulfill the FARA then

forum to say Okay, today I'm very happy with Allah so I'm going to increase instead of four. I will

Hora dune. Whoever does a deed that we did not instruct it is rebounded to them in sin. You cannot
do that. You need to listen to what Allah has taught you. So when you worship Allah the way he
wants, and when you develop a relationship with Allah how he wishes, what happens to you
		

			Heart it becomes strong and pure. You fear none but Allah. You are prepared for the meeting with
Allah and you are preparing for the meeting with Allah every day. If you are to die right now you
have hope in the Mercy of Allah. Why? Because I'm trying my best to do what Allah wants. This life
is full of challenges every day there is a challenge. Like I said at the beginning, Yeoman laka,
Yamuna. alayka a day for you a day against you. No problem. Allah is great. I am alive I will try my
best I have my hands and my feet I have my ability. I'm going to do my best if Allah takes what I

			happen to my family and my children and my women and my whatever? What? Don't worry, don't worry my
brother. Don't worry. Whatever happened to the families of others, yours will also be taken care of.

to provide for those things. And Allah knows when it comes when it goes when it is born, when it is
going to die, where it lives and where it goes out. Allah knows absolutely

small thing to give you a plate of food today, which tastes very nice for Allah. Is it big or small?
It is minor. He has given billions of people food today. Do you think he's going to miss you? He
will not miss you. Thank Allah, what is the solution? Build your relation with Allah. Allah is the
Owner of the door of sustenance. Don't knock the wrong door, knock the right door. Which door must

besides you. You are the one I will only knock your door no one else's door and I will work hard and
I will try and I will go through your help. I will do the right things and knock at the door of
Allah. Imagine Allah owns entire creation. How can I knock the door of someone else who doesn't even
own anything? He owns nothing. How can I knock the door? How
		

			Subhanallah knock at the door of Allah. How can you expect sustenance when you are not in the
masjid? How can you expect goodness when you don't have a connection with the owner of goodness.

do you seek forgiveness a day.
		

			So develop this beautiful relation with Allah and Allah will give you Allah will grant you Allah
will provide for you. The conviction is so beautiful that when something goes wrong, you tell
yourself for me it is wrong for Allah it is right.
		

			For Allah it is right. Say for example, one day you lose something in your business, you lose a
family member someone passes away for you as a human being it is a loss for Allah. What is it?
		

			Is it a loss? No. No ways. For Allah. It is destiny. He planned it for you. A Jubilee unreal mini

Another guy says I lost my child support.
		

			Another guy says I lost my family cyber, cyber you see the higher level.

			There are different levels. First bill soberano Jameela, Allahu Akbar, Allah is telling Nabi
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam bear beautiful patience, Allah, this world is temporary
temporary. How many days remaining here few? In one year? How many days are the 365? According to
Gregorian 355, according to Luna, right? Let's say 365 10 years, how many days 3650? Right. If you

days are numbered. My brother count your days how many days 10,000 start to tick maybe before 10,000

goodness few years in this world few days in this world. Don't stress if today is wrong, tomorrow
will be right. And if today is right, something might go wrong according to you tomorrow according
to Allah did not go wrong, it was his plan for you and for me.

happen to you and to me tomorrow, meaning in the future, who knows it? Will Allah he will ALLAH he
only Allah knows, only Allah knows. You can plan Allah can let the plan Go ahead. But you can plan
Allah can change the plan. You can think Allah knows and he is the only one who knows what will
happen tomorrow. So develop your relation with Allah plan good things, when you plan to do your
Salah Allah will reward you with the intention in normal man will be new Yet
		

			Allah, Allah Almighty is in charge he is in control. Why am I saying this? Because in the world
today, we are going through a very difficult time anywhere you go in the world. Anywhere you go,
anyway you go, they have different types of challenges, some worse than others. You talk to me about
this place today we are in this beautiful Masjid. Mashallah, in Cape Town, I promise you, my
brothers, my sisters, the problems we have.
		

			And the challenges we face. Some people think when they are far away, oh, these guys, they don't
have any problems. Everything is there. Right? They are very rich. They are very happy. They are
very healthy, and they forgot about us. That's what they think. Right? But it's not true. You have
your own challenges right or wrong. Today's like this tomorrow is like that. Today, someone steals
tomorrow, someone pinches the next day someone is murdered. The following day, we have another new
problem with immigration or whatever else it may be all sorts of problems.
		

			No one knows your problems and you sometimes don't know their problems. Everyone has tests. Don't
worry.
		

			If Allah put you in a position thanking Alhamdulillah, Allah colohan Alhamdulillah Oh Allah, I'm
going to try my best. I'm going to do my best.
