Forgive & Forget

A very beautiful majlis by Mufti Ebrahim Salejee, one that I feel everyone of us should listen to.

Just a few points I took down:

• The brave talk about might and power. Don't be proud because Allah doesn't like it.
• There is something even more powerful than might : The Pen
• Everything is stored by Allah, even our memories and thoughts.
• We should take out time and talk about Rasulullah Salla Allahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam.
• Rasulullah Salla Allahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam was the refuge for the orphans and the widows.
• Don't speak gheebat (backbite).
• Keep your heart clean. If it is not clean, then things will become rotten in your own heart, like carrying a sewer around.
• Today everyone is intelligent, but there are very few who have understanding.
• Ask Allah to grant us the qualities of Rasulullah Salla Allahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam
• Don't judge a whole group based on one person.
• Respect the symbols of Allah, be it the azaan, the cap (topee) etc.
• Be a part of one of these three groups - Muhajireen (ie the forerunners), Ansaar (ie the supporters), or the followers.
• Your deeds do not hold any weight before Allah Ta'aala's grandeur.
• The weightiest thing on the scale is good manners. "I won't demand my rights in this world or the hereafter."
