Almighty. Keep us focused as we approach #Ramadan. Starting the race is always much easier than what comes later. We ask You for endurance & resilience. Keep our hearts firmly attached to You, knowing You always have our backs. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Help others in their time of need. It’s so much better than a thousand hands clapping for someone’s success. When you help alleviate another person’s problems, the Almighty will surely do the same for you in this world and the Hereafter.

MOST EMOTIONAL MOMENT when the deaf, mute and blind huffaz and students of knowledge from rural India fulfilled their dream of visiting Madinah, praying in Masjid Nabawi and presenting themselves to say salam to our Master Muhammad pbuh himself together with Abu Bakr RA and Umar RA. No words can ever describe their emotions and feelings.

Watching some of them greet him with movements of their hands because they are unable to speak brought me to tears! Allahu Akbar!

May Allah Almighty reward all those who made this possible. On behalf of @abdullahaiduk Jazakumullah khairan.

When something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it, leave it, walk away from it. Trust your judgement, your intuition, your feeling. It’s the Almighty’s way of guiding you and steering you away from what’s not right. You don’t owe anyone any explanation. Just don't do it.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Almighty. Forgive us for the times we forgot to lower our gaze, for using foul language and things we weren’t supposed to do. Protect us from shame & failure, from Your punishment, anger, wrath & Hellfire. Grant us Your Mercy & the best of both worlds. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Apologize. Admit your mistake & take full responsibility. It shows your human weakness. You’ll gain a lot more respect that way rather than trying to push the blame to someone else. It’s this self-awareness that allows us to grow and learn from our mistakes.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

We are too quick to judge others. We label the quiet ones as snobbish. Has it occurred to us that they could be hiding a deep pain & prefer not to talk about it? Be gentle with people just like we’d like them to be gentle with us. Don’t assume anything.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Almighty. Redirect our thoughts so that we focus on those things that are good and pure, honorable and righteous, excellent and worthy of praise. Banish thoughts that cloud our judgement, cause doubt and make us think ill of others. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

People will talk about you and there’s not much you can do about it. Don’t throw yourself into emotional turmoil when you hear what they’re saying. Remember, the problem is theirs, not yours. If you feel the need to defend yourself against a lie, do it calmly.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Your sleeplessness could be the Almighty’s gift for you. Use the time to get close to Him in one of the most blessed of prayers. It is indeed a blessing. Taste the sweetness of night worship. Not everyone gets it.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Almighty. We need You now more than ever. Keep hopelessness and despair away from us. Don’t let fear and anxiety take over. Shine Your light and be our source of Strength always. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

What would you do if you were asked to speak on "Hope for The Ummah" in a huge Masjid, and as you were delivering the talk, for the first time, a random guy gets up and yells at you about why you're not addressing shirk and bidah and that you don't forbid evil. You're caught between letting him hijack the whole talk or shutting him off?

I carefully chose to listen to him for a moment and answer him without allowing him to keep going on beyond the initial point he raised. There are many ideologies floating around and it's my duty to protect the children and the crowd from being contaminated by a possibly extreme takfeeri intolerant ideology.

I felt if I allowed him to deliver his speech I could be guilty by law of allowing possibly extreme intolerant ideology to contaminate the masses.

I had no intention of posting the interaction online but the guy and his friends did, and tried to make me out to be the villain. In fact they got more than the publicity they wanted and many people jumped on the bandwagon blaming me.

Interestingly, I did a background check on the brother, his name and his circle and found some really colourful details that I'll hold back unless needed. The Masjid said that he has done this repeatedly so he knew what he was doing and definitely came prepared.

What the heart sees, the mind preserves; so it’s important to lower your gaze. Letting the gaze go astray makes the heart blind. You can’t tell truth from falsehood.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

People won’t hesitate to pick on you, attack and slander you in public but play the victim card as soon as you clarify or defend yourself. So they’re allowed to do and say what they want about you, but you’re not allowed to respond? They get defensive when their true colours are exposed.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Think good thoughts. Keep doing good. Don’t look down on others. Don’t forget that the person you looked down on may be the one who gets to Paradise before you because of a sincere heart.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

We may yearn for something and have been praying hard for it but it seems to elude us. Why? Because the Almighty knows what’s best. So when He gives something we don’t like or takes away something we like, trust Him. Because He knows best.
