AI: Summary ©
We acknowledge that all praise is due to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
the one who has given us
this gift of iman that has guided us
to this religion of Islam.
A religion that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has
chosen
to be the religion
out of all other religions that will protect
us from the fire of jahannam that will
grant grant us entry to Jannah.
We praise Allah,
the one who has sent us
the best of messengers
and the greatest of creation, Nabi Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, were the greatest of miracles
ever to be sent down on mankind,
the Quran and kareem. And we are the
holders of that book. We are the best
of nations because we abide by that book.
May Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, make us of
those who are eligible to receive this title.
May Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, also send his
greatest
greetings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
upon his,
family and whomsoever might follow his way until
the day of Qiyam al Amin.
Respected brothers and sisters
in Islam,
Allah
has not place
placed us on this earth.
He has not placed all the signs
for us on this earth,
in vain.
He has not created this great creation
that we see.
He has not
created
this great creation within ourselves.
This very sophisticated
way
of the body.
This very sophisticated
body
that was designed
to place their head on the ground in
sujood Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He has not
created this body and the soul in vain.
He has placed us on this earth for
a specific purpose.
And over and over, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
reminds us about this purpose.
The purpose is to be tested
on this dunya.
To be tested on this dunya,
to see what our consequences will be in
the.
The test is not for Allah to see.
The test is for us to see.
Allah
knows our place.
Whether it be in Jannah or whether it
be in Jannah.
The fact that we are on this dunya
is only as a proof for ourselves.
An example of a teacher
who has seen thousands of students. You see
that either on the day the student comes,
he's playing with his phone. He's on WhatsApp.
He's not taking notes.
And the teacher can already see he's missing
a vital part of the introduction.
He can see that the student is not
going to pass.
But it would be unfair
to fail him at that incident
at that time.
Rather the teacher warns him,
You, if you carry on like this, you're
going to fail. And the teacher knows he's
going to carry on like that.
But as a proof against himself
as a proof against himself, as opposed to
the teacher said, I fail you. And he
says, for what? Because you're not going to
make this year. Do you say, well, that's
unfair? He said, well, I'll give you a
chance.
And the end of the year come, he
does the same thing. And the teacher said,
I knew you're going to fail. It's just
as a proof against yourself.
Or I knew you're going to pass. It's
just as a proof for yourself.
The book of deeds that is constantly being
written, it is not for us. It's not
for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. It is for
us.
As a proof against us. That's why on
that day, the mouth will be sealed and
the hands and the mouth will start talking
about that which the body used to do
because there's no excuses today. There's no excuses
on the day of.
Rather, the proof that will stand is the
book of deeds that we have done against
ourselves. That's why this
Quran, The Quran that we read, it's a
Huja for us or it is against us.
Depending on if we follow this Quran or
if we don't follow this Quran.
Make us of those who follow the sunnah
of Nabi Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam thereby
earning Jannah.
So we were not placed on this earth
for nothing. Says Allah
Are you deluded? Do you think
Do you have the slightest
idea
that
Do you think we have created you for
nothing? This great sophisticated being, this great sophisticated
world.
Do do you think that we have created
that for nothing?
And do you think that you will not
return from where you came? Do you think
that we will not answer to Allah
Allah has placed us on this dunya to
be tested.
So that we can be questioned on the
day of Qiyamah.
Do we think that we will not return?
No. We were created for a purpose.
Says Allah
So what is this purpose?
We have created mankind in kabad. What does
kabad mean? Kabad means turmoil,
corruption, difficulty.
That is kabad. We have created mankind in
kabad. Allah leaves this
It refers to the dunya.
From the very,
birth of mankind, he faces difficulty.
Difficulty in this world. The difficulty of
sustaining looking for Isaac. The difficulty that he
has to go through, the emotion thing the
emotions that he has to go through.
The
difficulty that he has to go through
to enter
the the process of death. But the prophet
himself said it's a very difficult situation.
We have to go through that. The difficulties
that one would face in the.
Besides that, in the grave,
mankind was created in there's no way we
can get away from this.
So this is the test, Jamatul Muslimeen.
And Allah
informs us as well,
by the nafs, by the soul, by the
ruh, by that being
that Allah has created.
We have inspired the soul and showed that
soul the path to piety, the path of
righteousness. We have shown that soul, the path
of evil. How is this? The Quran, it
was revealed. The Quran is not very difficult
to accept.
If anyone were to be explained something about
Islam, it's not something technical, something that he
has has to think about.
That
the fitra that we were born is to
realize and to acknowledge and to accept the
message of Islam
because this is the natural way, to accept
that Allah is 1. Therefore, to accept that
his message is 1, to accept that the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is 1. Looking
around this world, if we don't look in
the Quran, the signs of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala are numerous,
indicating that there must be one being,
one perfect being.
And then we have to look for one
perfect message
corresponding to this being. We will find no
other book, not the Torah,
not the not the Injeel, the only book
that is protected.
There's completely no doubt. If you are look
looking at this book in a scientific point
of view, in a in a in a
medical point of view,
any field that you look at, mathematical,
any way you try to challenge this Quran,
any way, you will fall flat. If you
do find fault in the Quran,
then that fault that you are finding is
only in your mind. You are seeing something
that is not there. The orientalist that right
against Islam,
they are seeing things that are not there.
Their visions are blurred.
One that is looking at this Quran with
a pure heart cannot but realize that this
is from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Allah has
shown the soul the path to piety and
the path
of sin.
The the outcome of our life,
the outcome of our relationships,
the outcome of all our stresses, of
of all
of all our effort on this dunya, the
outcome is 1 of 2. There's no third
option.
Simple. The one who purifies the soul. How
do we purify the soul? In the obedience
of Allah.
Purifying the soul in terms of tawhid,
believing in Allah and his Rasul,
that is lip service, and then doing nothing
to negate that. We said that. We cannot
say that and then come at shirk in
the same process.
So,
in the obedience of Allah.
That is how Allah explains the consequences of
our life. Everything
we deem to be so great, Allah describes
it in 2 verses.
If you purify the soul, you are successful.
If you do not purify the soul,
you have you spoil the soul with sin
and without over, then
if you think of a Jamaat al Muslimi,
when it is not successful on this dunya,
yes, it is a great test.
Dunya is a great test, but it is
not a test the test that we cannot
fulfill.
Not for a Muslim.
Not with all the aid that we have.
Not with lay little in Ramadan and the
bar that is open for Tawba if we
do make a sin.
How is it possible for us to die
with one sin if we making tawba every
day? It is too easy to attain Jannah
by following the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
But by
following our own desires,
our own understanding of Quran,
and not looking at the understanding that Allah
intends,
it is very, very easy to go astray.
May Allah
not make us of those people. I mean,
in another
short verse, Allah describes the consequences of this
of of of our lives and our efforts.
It is simple. There's a group in Jannah.
There's a group
in Jannah.
May
Allah not make us of those
that would that would enter Jahanam at all.
I mean
So what is this path to Jannah that
Allah has inspired for a slave? What is
the way to Jannah? Today, it's a bit
confusing. One can become confused. We are living
in an age of information and technology. If
we want to know something, we can Google
it. The Internet is there. Anything we want
to know, we can get.
This one said this. This one said that.
We can get it on the internet. We
can even download certain,
sermons
of of of fatwas that we are looking
for. But this can be very dangerous.
How do we sift through this one and
that one? How do we know which one
is right and which one is wrong?
How do we stick to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam when one is saying the
prophet did this and the other is saying
the prophet did that? There is a way
of sifting through this, and this safest way
to do is to follow like 1,000 have
done. Are you going to follow the opinion
of 1 man?
One man reading a hadith in Bukhari,
He understands something because he knows some Arabic.
He studied 10, 20 years,
and he goes contrary
to thousands of people that have studied 80
years.
Scholar after scholar, it is safer to stick
to that which 1,000 have said, and therefore,
you have your former dahiib. This is a
way of sifting through what is haram and
what is not haram. The madhab is an
aid. The madhab is a way to make
it easy for us to follow the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Now,
So what is the path to Jannah?
The path to Jannah, the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam describes in a hadith that everyone will
enter Jannah, famous hadith, except those who refuse.
And and the Sahaba asked, will he refuse
Jannah? How is this possible? Because there's cause
and effect.
In this world, there is cause and effect.
If you want Jannah, you have to walk
that path.
And the path to Jannah is in the
obedience of Allah.
The path in the obedience of the Rasul
and Allah. The path to Jahannam,
he's straying away from that path.
Keep us on the
So what we learned from this hadith
that to attain Jannah, we we need to
do righteous deeds. We need to do good
deeds to to stick on this part of
the siratul mustaqim. It says Allah, Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, after taking an oath an oath by
by the night and that which it covers
by the day as,
as it brightens.
Everything that Allah is the one who has
created mankind.
Indeed, your strivings on this dunya.
We are all striving.
Everyone
is created in kabad.
There's no exclusion to this.
There is a striving. There is a stress
that each and everyone in this Masjid have,
whether that be of our business,
whether that be with regards to our children,
whether that be of something that we've done
in the past. We there is a turmoil.
There's something that we are striving that we
are striving for.
But the striving is.
It's it's completely
diverse.
Some people are striving, and they are working
so hard, but they are striving in the
wrong direction.
As for the one who is giving Sadaqa
and the one who inspires,
The one
who believes
Sadaqa,
he believes, he deems the Aqirah to be
truthful.
He deems
to be truthful. The 2 angels that will
question him, he deems that to be truthful.
The one who ponders in the scale
which our deeds will be weighed the day
that the one that ponders and believes about
the.
That person,
he believes
in the in in the bliss that Allah
has promised us
as believers.
Obviously, that one,
that particular individual, he has Yaqeen. He will
strive for that.
For this person, we will make it easy
for him to obey Allah.
If you believe
the higher degree of your certainty, it's easier
to obey Allah.
And on the contrary, woman, the
one who is stingy
and he seek himself to be independent.
He thinks that his uncle is sufficient.
Our uncle is not sufficient, Jamaat Muslime.
Even if we work out something and we
understand something analytically, it's not sufficient.
We need the divine guidance of Allah. We
can be the cleverest person in the entire
world. Look at rocket scientists.
Some of the most cleverest people that that
is deemed to have the highest of IQs
in the world, they are kafir.
They cannot accept
that there is an Allah
because he's he thinks that his mind is
independent.
This is how he fools himself. This is
how Shaitan fools himself. We need the divine
guidance.
And such a person would deny
that there is an Aqira, that there is
a Jannah.
Therefore, he follows anything that will benefit him
only on this dunya. May Allah not make
us of those people, army.
Jamat al Muslimeen, from this verses, what do
we learn? We learn that success.
Success is for the one who does good
deeds.
Jannah is dependent on good deeds and the
rahmah of Allah
and
that is dependent on belief.
Secondly, what we learn from these verses
is that this
Jannah,
this path of good deeds,
having a good will is not simply enough.
We need the Tawfiq of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. We need Hidayah from Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
We need the divine guidance.
We cannot think that we are independent from
Allah.
Foolish is that individual
that thinks he will attain success
in this world
and in the akhirah
without
calling Allah
for guidance. It is something that we do
every day and it is something that we
should ask Allah with sincerity
to keep us on the Surah Al Mustateem
and not take it for granted that we
are of those individuals. May Allah protect us.
Amen.
So Jaimadu Muslimeen
acknowledging and realizing the fact
that the best that we can be
as individuals, the best that we can be
without the help of Allah is nothing.
It's failures.
We realize that we are weak and because
of that, we need to make dua.
This is the importance of dua.
Because by making Dua,
we teach and we remind ourselves
that we are in need of Allah.
We take it for granted that we're going
to eat eat lunch this afternoon. Therefore, we
don't
ask Allah for rizik anymore.
This is how shaitan
starts deluding us.
This is the deception of this dunya, and,
ultimately, one thing leads to another. And we
think that we don't need Allah
anymore. So the power of dua and the
importance of dua is to remind that Allah
does does not need our dua.
Allah doesn't need our dua
in order to send rizik. He send rizik
irrespective.
We know that because this entire dunya is
sustained by Allah. Some make duas, some don't.
But it's it's to remind ourselves.
Every action of the slave,
every action salah, zakah, no matter what we
do, it is not for Allah at all.
It benefits us. It is only for us.
So realizing this Jamatul Muslimeen, we realize the
importance of calling upon Allah.
So it is through these prayers, through these
duas
that we learn our dependency on Allah.
Now Jamaat al Muslimen, a person only asks
for that which he needs.
A person
only make Dua.
He calls.
He asks for that which concerns him. For
that which is which is worrying to him
now.
If somebody asks you for something, you know
that that is bothering him. You know that
that's a concern. He won't ask you for
help if he doesn't need help.
So knowing this fact,
if we look at the way that Allah
has taught us in the Quran how to
make dua,
If we look at the Hadith of the
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and we look at
the Hadith,
the Duas that he has made,
what we learn from the Hadith is what
worried the Prophet,
what concerned the Prophet,
Because this would be expressed in his Dua
and by learning that we know what should
really concern us, which is of benefit to
us.
And by looking in the Quran, Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala teaches us what we should be
concerned about
by
by means of teaching us what dua to
make.
So we find the prophet,
ask seeking Allah
from refuge,
of of bad conduct, of giving the wrong
Kaaba,
of of of being in the dependency of
people, of being overpowered by death,
asking Allah for his mercy, various duas.
And through these duas, we realize what we
should ask for and what we should should
strive for in this dunya.
So what I want to highlight today in
the next 5 to 10 minutes
is a particular dua.
There are many duas.
There are many, many duas, but this one
dua is very comprehensive.
Very, very comprehensive.
It's a dua that most of us know.
We make it every day.
I want to highlight this. Why?
Because by a greater understanding
or reflecting
or even reminding us, we find that
we find that when we know something,
we might have knowledge about something.
But when somebody else says it, something that
we know it reminds ourselves. Even the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
When certain Sahaba that he instructed to recite,
he told the Sahaba that's enough.
You have brought me now to tears.
Why didn't the prophet cry before that?
Because
to hear the truth on somebody else, this
is how Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has designed
this deen.
So what is this dua?
What is a comprehensive dua? There's there's a
dua that only restricted for this dunya and
is one that is restricted for the akhura.
And we should make sure that we are
asking for both. Allah
highlights this fact
after,
speaking when speaking about the rituals of Hajj,
which we have just come out of that
season now.
Some people only ask things for this dunya.
1 man asked Allah for a car,
but there's nothing for him in the afterah.
Another man
asked Allah for that same car.
But for him, there's a great reward in
the afterah as well.
Why? Because that one man's vision was restricted
to this dunya. He just wants to drive
from a to b. The other man's vision
was
in aid, in an assistance
to help me fulfill my obligations so I
can drive to the Masjid, so I can
get from a to b, so I can
look for Isaac with that aid of that
car. So our duas must never be restricted
to this dunya. Always, we look to the
akhirah.
So what is this dua?
Allah
says in Surat Al Furqan,
where he mentions
The slaves of Allah. The
Ibadul Rahman Then Allah mentions
many qualities of them.
Many many qualities of Ibadul Rahman. But what
is so special about Ibadul Rahman?
Nobody can enter Jannah because of their deeds
alone. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala through their deeds,
through the sincerity of their deeds, through their
strivings, Allah would reward them with Rahma and
rahma is the key to Jannah. You cannot
enter Jannah without the rahma of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. If you have done everything that
is requested of you,
but the sincerity is not there
and Allah does not give you rahma, you
cannot enter Jannah.
But if somebody has done very little deeds,
but that deeds was done with such sincerity,
Allah grants him rahma. He enters the higher
place of Jannah. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
makers of those people who attain the rahma
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So this Ibadur
Rahman, Allah mentions various qualities of them, but
one of the qualities is al adina,
those who. So who is those who? This
is the Ibadur Rahman. Those who are entitled
to get the rahmah of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. Those who are entitled to earn the
jannah of Allah.
Oh, our Lord.
Making
making dua.
Grant for us.
Grant for us.
Grant us. Grant us.
From our spouses.
And from our children
coolness of the eye. Grant them. Let them
be a coolness of the eye.
And make for the make them a leader.
This is a very, very comprehensive dua ji
mad Muslimen. Let's look at this. What is
what is Allah instructing us or teaching us
to ask for?
Grant us from our spouses
and our children. Again, who is this going
to benefit? Is it going to benefit Allah
in the least?
It's going to benefit us.
This is what we should aspire for. This
should be on our agenda. This should be
our priority.
To be of the Ibad al Rahman when
we make this dua, we think of this.
Grant from our spouses
and our children. So our wives and, likewise,
the supply from the wife to the husband.
Spouses
and from our children and our children's children.
Our progeny because we want to leave
something that will benefit us in a 100
years from now. In 500 years' time from
now,
when we're pushing up more than days as
we're pushing up, so trees are ready.
Then we want a child of our a
son of our son's son somehow.
He's still making Ibadah,
and that deed is still going on, and
we're still getting a reward. This is what
we want.
So our spouses,
what is a good spouse?
What is something that should please us in
our spouse?
We look for various things.
What should we look for in a spouse?
What should we look for in our wives?
Through all those qualities that is found in
our wives, through everything that we love, there
must be one thing.
She should please him when he look when
he looks at her, it should be pleasing.
Why? Because she is in obedience of Allah.
She reminds him that this dunya
is a means to get to the akhira
just like she will please him in the
akhira as well. But I'll grant her spouses
like that.
She would obey him. She obeys him when
he commands him in that which he can.
When he commands her to put on a
hijab,
then she obeys him. When he commands her
don't go to that place there's haram there,
she obeys him. In everything that he can
command her which is halal, she obeys him.
She protects his honor. She don't ghiba about
him. My husband is like this and my
husband is like that, and the husband to
the wife as well. They don't make about
each other. They protect each other's wealth, and
they protect each other's honor in the absence.
And they will assist one another.
How very few are those spouses that assist
one another in the obedience of Allah?
A good wife is a wife that says
it is time to go to the masjid.
A good wife is one that would say
we are suffice.
We suffice ourselves for that which is halal.
Don't bring us meat.
Don't bring us money that was earned in
a Haram way.
Don't bring us money that is attained
through riba in the bank or through a
certain policy when you die.
Don't bring us that. We don't want that
1,000,000.
We want the gold.
We want money that is not gonna go
up on this dunya. We want wealth that
will go through to the akhirah.
Very few are those spouses that encourage one
another. When the husband goes out, don't bring
us haram. Bring us halal.
Hunger, we can suffice with.
Patience, we can suffice with. But the disobedience
and the anger of Allah, this is something
you don't bring into our house.
So we should assist one another in the
obedience of Allah. May Allah
make us of those because we know
we know
that it is our spouses
that can assist us with good and help
us to be the best we can. And
we know also
if if if it's not like that at
home,
then
then the day is spoiled, and we're not
the best that we can be. May Allah
grant us the understanding. May you grant us
the best in this dunya a mean, the
best of spouses.
It is these same spouses that Allah
says.
The best of goods on this world is
a suitable
spouse. And if we look in the in
the in the in the sphere of Islam
only, it would be a pious
a pious wife and a pious spouse, a
husband to the wife and the wife to
the husband.
So Jamatul Muslimeen,
through everything we can love about our spouses,
for those who are not married, for everything
that you look for in a spouse,
Jamil is one. Beauty is one thing.
Richness is another thing. It is beneficial.
It makes life easy.
Her lineage, she comes from that particular family.
She's from this family, from that family.
Yes. That is one thing, but the prophet
advises us the most important of this is
is the deen.
It is her,
her piety and her taqwa of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. And When we speak about Deen,
we're not just speaking about the Hakam. This
we must do, this we mustn't do. We're
speaking about the character.
How
often is that lost? The character of Islam.
Where Salaah is being made, Zakai is being
given, but there's depression.
The honor of the man and the honor
of the female is not upheld because the
character is not there anymore. The character that
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam came to perfect
is not there. So when a lady has
this quality,
good will rub off. It will rub off
on the man and the man will will
reflect that. Allah
grant us that. Amen. Says Nabi Muhammad
The best thing after Allah,
after the taqwa, the best thing that will
benefit you on this dunya and the akhirah
is a pious wife. May Allah
grant us those Aamin. May Allah make us
of those people who are pious. Aamin.
It is these people that Allah
reminds us,
the pious,
and devoted
in protecting
in the husband's absence, and likewise,
the husband to the wife.
Says Nabi Muhammad
from the good things in this world that
brings you good luck is a pious wife,
a good home,
and a a good vehicle.
And, bad luck is the exact opposite. Grant
us this.
In this particular verse that I've read, this
dua, I will I will I will conclude
now. Allah
teaches us,
grant us from our spouses
and then also from our children.
What is the best gift that we can
give to our child?
We know that on the top and the
highest of agenda, if you speak to all
the elderly, they say respect has been lost.
Speak to the teachers. Speak to any
educator. They say the respect is going down.
The problem
that,
arises or the primary problem is not the
respect.
Respect doesn't come from the father.
Respect doesn't come from the mother. As a
matter of fact, we are not eligible to
receive the respect that we want
except
except that Allah
gave it to us.
If Allah did not give this to us,
then we would not be due to it.
So the respect that is due to the
father and the mother is because Allah demands
that of the child.
So the problem does not lie in teaching
your child manners. The problem lies in teaching
your child education,
an Islamic education.
Teach your child and give them a good
Islamic education. It is always, by the way,
5, 6 hours spent in school, half an
hour in Madrasal, and he's late. He forgot
the Quran, and it also stops when we
go to,
when we go to,
high school, and it goes completely away when
we go to varsity. Thinking that that foundation
was enough, and we ask ourselves, why is
the children so disrespectful?
Quran, Islamic is a solid education. You cannot
even put your child in a half in
school and think he's gonna be safe there.
You have to look at the teacher.
Is that environment conducive for an Islamic education?
It has to be something that is not
just done haphazardly.
This is something research is required. And the
final part of the dua,
where Allah
says, and make fast for
the. Make an imam. When does this come?
When does Allah say we should make this?
Make for the.
Those who have Taqwa and imam. After reforming
your own family, after reforming our spouses
and ourselves
and our children.
We are all shepherds. We will ask about
that which Allah has given us authority over.
So once reforming that,
then we ask Allah make for us a
imam from the muttaqeen. And the muttaqeen develops
where? At home. Very often, we find we
don't like this lecture.
We don't like this imam. We don't like
that teacher. We don't like that alim. We
don't like that mawlana. We don't like the
way this class is conducted.
It's very easy to say that, but we
have to realize that we have to play
our part in producing ulama.
The best of ulama is from the location.
A community has to come together. Why is
it that olamah is going from door to
door?
We find go to the olams.
If you give them food
for the day,
they're grateful
because they don't have.
If you assist them with event, they're grateful
because they don't have. These are the best
of people. And we find yet we are
the same people that say, you shouldn't have
said that, you shouldn't have teach like that,
or this class is not conducted properly.
Why is it like that?
If we want a true leader, Jamatul Muslimeen,
it doesn't matter. We can get the Sheikh
from Al Azar or from Medina or from
the Sheikh of Makkah. He's not from us.
He don't understand
our struggles.
He doesn't understand our language and our environment.
The best of rulers
comes from ourselves.
One that we saw grow up. But unfortunately,
we chased them away. We make life difficult
for them. We tell our son, okay. You
want to study Dean, but just know, if
you're gonna study Dean, you're not gonna get
that car. You're gonna drive
a Tasov car,
the one without the engine. The help meter
up.
You're gonna have a difficult life. You're not
gonna buy a house. You're gonna stay in
a shack, so you make your own decision.
I'm just saying you make your own decision,
forcing that child.
And then we want leaders, and then we
want good chafar. We want our children to
recite. It is something called the. Does the
person who is successful. Success,
Falah, is one who strive for success and
achieve it. He's the one who purifies himself.
It starts at home. It starts with reforming
ourselves, our spouses, our children, and then looking
to the interest of those who are studying
deen. May Allah
protect us. May grant us the understanding. May
make us of those people who reform ourselves,
our wives, and our children. Make make up
of those people who are the.
May make us of those people who produce
good leaders and good.
