Assalamualaikum everyone.

The fear should never be about us NOT having our wishes, whilst we are dutiful to Allah Almighty!

The real fear should be about us actually living our dreams and experiencing our wishes whilst we DISOBEY Allah Almighty!

To clarify this further; consider this aayah:

Allah Almighty says in chapter 6, verse 44:

“So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair”.

May Allah forgive us and save us! Ameen.

Assalamualaikum everyone. Never underestimate the weight of a simple statement of recognition and inspiration towards our youth.

Imam alBukhari (the famous compiler of the most authentic book after the Qur’an- Saheeh alBukhari) was set on his path of completing a great legacy at the tender age of 16 by a goodly word he heard from his teacher Ishaaq bin Raahuwiiyah (May Allah shower His mercy upon them both).

He says:

“We were sat with Ishaaq bin Raahuwiyyah who said, ‘Why don’t you gather a summarised book of the authentic narrations of the Prophet (sall Allaahu ʿalayhi wa sallam)?’ Instantly, the love of doing so fell into my heart and I began to compile the book.”

He was 16 years of age, and spent the next 16 years in the making of his book that nshook the world, all because of a goodly word from a source of trust and inspiration.

The Take-away:

1. Be a source of insiration and trust to those around you.

2. Do not under-estimate the weight of a goodly word in creating a positive dent in the world!

May Allah forgive our past and inspire our futures. Ameen.

You know, brothers & sisters; for those who really listen to my ‘messaging service’ in my lectures both onsite and online, and not just my voice & accent; you would notice the action mandate present in them.

Knowledge was never meant to be an ‘end’ in and of itself; the objective of knowledge was always for it to be implemented (put into practice – action).

After all, this is and has always been the basis of transformation! And transformation is the reality of the knowledge of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

In many a seminar and workshop, I have asked the following questions:

“If the Muslims were to disappear today; what would the world miss?

Are we living for the sake of Allah?

Are we inventing for the sake of Allah?

Are we innovating for the sake of Allah?
