A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 09:51). ‘Qul lan yuṣībanā illa mā kataba Llāhu lana’, ‘Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us.’ Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is telling us, Muslims and Mumins, “Nothing will strike you except what Allah ﷻ wants”. It won’t touch you or come to you. Only whatever Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla wants will happen. These things should be kept in the minds of people with Iman every minute. Otherwise, their Iman is weak. Most people have weak Iman. And some people don’t have it at all.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is Al-Qādir/ The All-Powerful over everything. We should not forget it. Whatever we do, when we go out and come home, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla must be in our hearts. We mustn’t forget Him. A person who knows that whatever happens, it comes from Allah ﷻ, will be both rewarded and at peace.

Iman is the best favor given to people. It is the biggest favor to believe in Allah ﷻ. People don’t know its value. Many Muslims don’t know it too. They are not paying attention to it, whereas the first thing to be paid attention to is our Iman, to believe in Allah ﷻ, to trust in Allah ﷻ. A man who does this will be in comfort. He will be a beloved servant of Allah ﷻ and from the beloved Ummah of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Iman is the greatest benefit for us, the first most useful thing for us. Without Iman, you are just a walking creature. With Iman, you are raised, your rank and status increases. May Allah ﷻ give true and strong Iman to all of us insha’Allah.

People ask for their Iman to be stronger. In order for your Iman to be stronger, put the love of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and the love of our Holy Prophet ﷺ in your heart. When you have love and when people love each other, they do what they tell them. If you love Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and if you love our Holy Prophet ﷺ, you must do what they tell you. Thus, your Iman will be much stronger insha’Allah. May Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla give strong Iman to all of us. May He give us true Iman insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
