This talk by Mohammad Hilaal Abu Bakar explores why many Muslims may feel "lost" despite having access to the Quran. The speaker argues that simply possessing or reciting the book is insufficient without true understanding, implementation, and a sincere connection to Allah.

Key points discussed include:

• The Definition of "Lost": Being lost implies failing to pray, neglecting Zakat, or engaging in prohibited acts (Shirk, drinking, gambling) (3:26).
• The Necessity of Certainty (Iman): The speaker emphasizes the six articles of faith and stresses that if one truly believes in the Quran, it should naturally lead to a change in behavior and avoidance of forbidden actions (4:32, 6:27).
• Guidance and Pondering (Tadabbur): The Quran is a source of guidance only for those who are "God-conscious" (Taqwa). The speaker stresses the importance of pondering over the verses rather than just rushing to finish readings, especially during Ramadan (12:09, 17:39).
• Avoiding Cultural and Majority Influence: The speaker warns against following the majority or cultural traditions that contradict Islamic teachings, noting that Islam is not based on what the majority does (25:12, 27:56).
• Preparedness for the Hereafter: The video emphasizes that life is short and one should be prepared for the Day of Judgment, referencing the "five before five" advice regarding health and time (30:48).
• Spiritual Protection: Finally, the speaker discusses the importance of protecting oneself from Shaitan and envy, highlighting the need to surround oneself with good friends (36:26, 40:04).

ZAKAT - IS EVERYONE GETTING IT RIGHT?

EVERYONE WANTS JANNAH - BUT WHO IS WILLING TO WALK ITS PATH

TRUST ALLAH - WHEN LIFE DOESNT MAKE SENSE

Qualities of the Muhajirun and Ansar

WE HEAR AND WE DISOBEY.

This is from our class last Saturday. InshaAllah it will benefit everyone. Do remember, we only do acts of worship that has evidence from the Qur’an and/or authentic hadiths. We do NOT follow

- traditions and customs

- majority

- teachings from parents or family members that has no evidence.

May Allah Guide us not to add anything into the Deen.
