One time, I saw a young man walking with his father in the parking lot of the masjid. The father was known to be a very good person, so I told his son how I pray to Allah for him to be like his father. When the father heard that, he became very upset, and told me to never make such du'a. He explained by saying how he, the father, did not know in which state he will die (meaning, the father may seem to be a good person today, but only Allah knows if he remains in that state until he dies, or if he becomes a corrupt person before his death). At the end, the father told to only pray for his son to be like someone whom we know has passed away in a righteous state.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Do not be too surprised (or impressed) by a person's actions until you see on which state they died in. It is possible for someone to do good deeds for some time, and had he died upon it, he would enter Jannah. However, that person changes (later on), and does evil deeds (and then dies and enters the Hell Fire). (Similarly), it is possible for someone to do evil deeds for a period of time, and had he died upon it he would enter Hell Fire. However, that person changes (later on), and does good deeds (and then dies and enters Jannah).” [Reference: As-Silsilah As-Saheehah]
I pray to Allah to grant Shaykh Muhammad Al-Shareef the highest level of Jannah. His good deeds were very impressive, Allahumma barik. And based on what we know, he returned to Allah as a believer, and as someone who continuously sought to make this world a better place.
To Allah we belong and to Allah we shall return.

Alhumdulillah! All over the world the whole Muslim ummah celebrated Eid Al Adha to commemorate Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son. He trusted his Lord, that He won’t burden him with more than he could handle. Trust in our Lord. The Creature of sky’s and Earth and whatever is in between. Subhan Allah❤️

When the Hajji dons the Ihram, they remind themselves that they are in a state in which what is ordinarily permitted is prohibited. In many ways, this is similar to the fasting person who in abstaining from the consumption of halal, surely will be more mindful of their consumption of haram. A thought I had was imagine if all Muslims had to wear Ihram for these 10 days of Dhul Hijjah, even as they aren’t on Hajj. Would they not be more mindful of what they consume of the forbidden sins, or the forbidden flesh of their brothers and sisters whose honor they violate without restraint? These days are the best days of the year, yet to so many are indistinguishable from their normal days. We distinguish them with our remembrance and fasting, and supplication. Dear brothers and sisters, take advantage of them by exerting yourself for the pleasure of Allah and abstaining from what displeases Him. While we may not don the Ihram, we will all one day don the Kafan in our graves. And the best adornment is the adornment of piety.

Yesterday's sermon was all about loving and taking care of humanity. It was beautiful. In order to gain SAKEENA
I have to step out of me and think about others. May Allah SWT guide us to the right path, InshaAllah
