Assalamu Alaykum,

Today’s gem is from Mufti Abdul Wahab Waheed’s class, Kings, Prophets, and Family: The Lives of Dawood (AS) and Sulaiman (AS). In this gem, Mufti Abdul Wahab reminds us of our responsibility in this dunya.

Hope you enjoy!

We begin in the Name of Allah ﷻ, the Most Merciful and Compassionate,
We ask that He ﷻ sends Peace and Blessings upon our noble and beloved
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Do your job. The Prophet ﷺ was reminded of that in the Quran multiple times.

That responsibility now lies with every single one of us. Our job is not to simply live a life in which our family is enjoying; our job is to live a life where inshaAllah, every single person living in this world can enjoy in the Akhira.

Our Prophet lived a life of complete selflessness, not because he just wanted to struggle in this world, but because he wanted people to know that sometimes, in order for others to benefit you have to put yourself in uncomfortable situations.

May Allah ﷻ grant us tawfiq to be selfless.

أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم، فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم
