Blessings of Salah - Mufti Menk
Opening
"[Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.]"
"[In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.]"
"[All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon the noblest of prophets and messengers, our master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.]"
"[Thereafter, I advise you and myself to have taqwa of Allah.]"
We praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam, his entire household and all his companions. And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to bless every single one of us and to grant us goodness.
Introduction
Beloved brothers and sisters in Islam, it indeed brings us a smile to the face to be seated in the masjid, the house of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, where we have just completed Salatul Isha and we ask Allah to accept it from us. Salah is a gift as we all know given to us by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It is important that we consider it a gift because some people consider Salah a burden.
If we consider it a burden, we will not be able to achieve the broader blessings of Salah. There are several categories of people. The first are those who don't read Salah.
Yet they want to call themselves Muslimin. And the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam says in a correct narration, he says the distinguishing factor between us and the disbelievers is Salah. It is the distinguishing factor.
You want to know if a person is a Muslim or not? All you need to look at is the Salah. If the Salah is in order, it would show that they are believers. If the Salah is not in order, they have a lot to improve.
So this is a very very important narration. First category of people, they want to call themselves Muslim, but they don't want to fulfill the basic gift of Islam. The second category of people are those who call themselves Muslim and they fulfill their Salah, but considering it a burden.
They find it tough. They are lazy. They come last minute and they go out first.
The last one is in and the first one is out. Subhanallah. In that case, it depends on the individual and the type of link they have with Allah. They have a lot to improve. We need to improve our link with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And for this reason we say, it's not good enough for us to consider Salah a burden, even though we are fulfilling it.
There is a step higher than that which we need to get to. So there are people who read Salah because they have to read it. They have to do it, so they do it. But there is the highest category of people. Those are the ones who read Salah because they want to read it. Not because they have to, because they want to.
So you find that they are doing it considering it a gift of Allah. These are the ones whom when they come into the house of Allah, they forget everything outside the house of Allah which is not related to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So if you notice, we, mashallah, because we have a carpet in the masajid these days and a beautiful clean environment, we remove our shoes outside.
Similarly, remove all your things that will connect you to this world outside the door. When you come inside, you need to be able to stand concentrating for the sake of Allah.
Quranic Verse on Standing for Prayer
"[And stand before Allah in devout obedience.]"
I'm sure we've heard such a beautiful verse.
Stand for the sake of Allah with total submission, concentration, humility, conviction, and with the consciousness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Such a person will be able to reap the benefit of Salah. Do you know that if you were to fulfill one Salah with jama'ah in the proper way and then you are to fulfill the next Salah with jama'ah in the proper way, it would act as an expiation of the minor sins between the two Salahs.
Hadith on Following Bad Deed with Good Deed
(Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 1987)
"Follow a bad deed with a good deed in order to wipe out the bad deed." Some people don't understand it. They think you can go and murder someone and then go for Hajj.
You can steal their money and then go for Hajj and everything will be deleted. No, that's not what the Hadith means. It is speaking here about minor sins. Small things that happen on a daily basis. You might have done something, you might have said something minor and so on. You know, there might be a few little small things that happen which we know or we don't know sometimes.
When we follow up with a charity, or a good deed, or a Salah, automatically we find that these minor sins have disappeared. They will go away. As for the major sins, they require what is known as Tawbah.
What is known as repentance. You need to turn to Allah in repentance and ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's forgiveness for the major sins. You need to admit the sin. You need to regret it. You need to ask Allah's forgiveness. And you need to promise not to do it again.
Those are the major sins. So, getting back to the issue of Salah, we enter the house of Allah. The question I have, do you feel that this is the house of Allah?
You know, if you are entering the house of a huge businessman or a prince, or someone big, a king, or a leader, or an Amir, you would feel that I'm entering this big house.
Perhaps there is surveillance here. Perhaps there is this person here. Perhaps, you know, I need to carry myself well. What is the impression this man is going to get of me? Let me apply a little bit of perfume. Let me look smart and decent. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says:
Quranic Verse on Adorning Oneself for Prayer
"[O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid.]"
Beautiful verse.
O children of Adam, you need to adorn yourself with your beauty when it comes to entering the houses of prayer, the place of Sajdah. When you want to connect with Allah, dress clean clothes. You must be smelling good. You must be looking good. You must be within a specific level of purity known as Tahara. Tahara meaning cleanliness of a certain nature.
You cannot read Salah without Wudu. You need the ablution. So, when you're entering the house of Allah, ask yourself a question.
The Experience of Entering Allah's House
Do I feel the calmness? Do I feel the serenity? Do I feel like I've entered a beautiful place? It's a question. I have come across some non-Muslims who have visited some Masajid. You know, nowadays in the western world, we have an open day where sometimes we have to welcome the non-Muslims.
They want to see what is Islam all about. So, they enter the Masjid, they come. And some of them have told me that we bear witness. The minute we turn the corner with our car, we notice some feeling of peace when we saw this house of Allah. Amazing. The non-Muslim is telling you, when I entered this, there is some amazing serenity.
So, some of the ulama, they say, how can a non-Muslim feel the serenity of the house of Allah? But it's common sense, they are human beings. They will also feel a spirituality in the house of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala. If they have the right intention and the right heart, they will feel a goodness.
So, if the non-Muslims are telling me and you that we feel some calm atmosphere in the house of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, how come we as Muslims do not feel the calm in the house of Allah sometimes? Why is it that we find our own children and offspring away sometimes from the house of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala? Perhaps our intention needs to be rectified.
Hadith of Muadh ibn Jabal
Let me quickly take you through the first part of the hadith of Mu'adh ibn Jabal, r.a, and which I'm sure a lot of us should know of by heart. It is the hadith where Rasulullah s.a.w. was sending Mu'adh ibn Jabal, r.a, to Yemen. Common hadith. And the Prophet s.a.w. says:
(Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 1395)
"You will find some people who will be people of the book. Call them towards worshipping Allah alone."
Call them towards worshipping Allah alone. Sincerity for Allah. Declaring Muhammad s.a.w. as the final messenger. This includes obviously believing in the previous messages and believing in the previous books.
And coming down and understanding how Muhammad s.a.w. is a messenger of Allah and believing it. Then he says:
Let them know that Allah has prescribed upon them, which means He has made compulsory for them five Salah during the day and night. Five Salah.
Now I want to stop there. Because when we do not achieve the benefit or the serenity of the house of Allah, and if we do not achieve the peace through reading Salah, it means there is something wrong with our Shahada. This is what it means.
Why? Because the first step is to accept the Shahada and to understand that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah and Muhammad s.a.w. is his messenger. And if you worship Allah alone without engaging in any form of polytheism or what is known as shirk, and if you are conscious of the worship of Allah alone, you've developed a direct link with your maker and you firmly believe that Muhammad s.a.w. was sent to me and you to show us how to worship Allah s.w.t. and to show us why we have been created in this world and to lead us towards paradise and that he is the final messenger and his message is final and totally complete, then only you will be able to benefit from Salah. But when we are involved in innovation, how can we benefit from Salah? We come to the Masjid, our heart is not there.
When we are involved in association of partnership with Allah or some shirkiyat, some little polytheism and so on, which is obviously a major sin, then how can we benefit from Salah? We won't. We will find it a burden. We will not be able to develop a link with Allah.
The Prophet's Words to Bilal
Today, on the globe as a whole, people are searching for peace. People are searching for inner contentment. Do you know that the Prophet s.a.w. used to tell Bilal ibn Rabah:
(Sunan Abu Dawud Hadith 4985)
What is he speaking about? He says, "Oh Bilal, let that comfort come through it." Through what? Through the Adhan. Go and call out the Adhan. We will achieve the comfort of that Adhan. Amazing! I recall these beautiful words of success that we hear so many times a day. And in this country, mashallah, the country of Qatar, beautiful Muslim country, we are so fortunate to be hearing the Adhan not just from one mi'dhana or minara, but from so many different places.
You are spoilt for choice as to where to go for salah. You want to hear a beautiful long recitation, mashallah. There is a masjid, you can go. You can take a little bit of time. And subhanallah, if you are in a little bit of a rush, Allah forgive us. And you are one of those who are speedy gonzalas, you know.
You want to get to a masjid where they finish in no time. You can find that masjid as well. May Allah forgive us, our shortcoming. We are human beings. You know, come time for Ramadan, it's round the corner inshallah. People fall in different categories.
The Post-Prayer Behavior
Salah has a blessing. When you come and you fulfill your salah for the sake of Allah, and you know, you concentrate, you are thinking, you are worshipping Allah. Do you know what they do after salah? They stand outside and they are talking for one hour. By that time the others are coming out. Look at shaitan! After salah they sit outside the masjid. They are chatting. They are smoking.
They are doing anything, but for one hour they are sitting outside. So couldn't we have spent a little bit more time inside the house of Allah? This is what we say: you want the blessings of salah, you need to rectify your shahada. And when we say rectify your shahada, it sounds simple, but it's a very deep statement. It means become a good Muslim, you know, enter into submission in totality. Oh you who believe, enter into submission in totality, in totality, holistically. Not only every one of us, but on top of that every aspect of submission. Submit to it. Don't just submit to whatever suits you and then whatever does not suit you, don't submit to it.
Astaghfirullah. You have a man reading salah and the other hand is in the nightclub drinking alcohol. Can that salah benefit him? It's like, you know, Astaghfirullah, Allah protect us. I know we are in a Muslim country, but I have seen in South Africa that people told me there is a huge casino. You know where they gamble, huge casino, and in the casino, it's so big.
They have so many different departments. They have a musalla. Wallahi without a joke, they have a musalla. So they told me, do you know why? Because those who come to gamble, a lot of them are Muslim and they do not miss their salah and they make dua. "Oh Allah, I am going to gamble. Grant me success." Look at how we have become so weak that we think before you go to steal, read two rakat of salah to say "ya Allah, I'm going to rob that man tonight. Inshallah, I don't get caught."
"Ya Allah help me. I'm making two rakat." Astaghfirullah, but this is the mentality of man. It is happening. May Allah protect us.
Quranic Verse on Total Submission
So Allah says:
"All you who believe, enter into submission in totality. Your salah will not benefit you if you have not removed from your heart the love for that which is wrong. You need to place in your heart the love for that which is right and this brings me to a very important point, my brothers and sisters: we are insan. We are human beings, we falter. You know, shaitan comes and tries his luck with us every day. He tries his luck different ways. Sometimes he wins, sometimes we win. We hope we can win more than he wins and we hope when he wins, we need to quickly fight back with toba. We need to fight back with repentance, you see.
So as human beings, one thing you need to know is: Even if you have fallen into sin for some reason, the fact that you admit that you are wrong is the first step to success. When you admit "what I did was very bad. It was wrong." Alhamdulillah, that is a sign that you want to improve. But when a person wants to read salah before he does something wrong for Allah to help him in that which is wrong, then he is
making a mockery of Allah and he will never benefit from that salah of his, nor will he benefit from much more from anything else. First he needs to go back and develop a link with Allah.
The Importance of Shahada for Salah's Benefits
It's like, for example, may Allah protect us all, there are some non-muslims. They say in Ramadan we fast. Have you seen some of them? Maybe even in this country, there are some non-muslims. In Ramadan, we fast now. For them, the good news is they will achieve the health benefits of fasting health. Maybe it will help them.
They might feel a bit calm. They might achieve some form of inner peace to a certain extent which is connected to the dunya. But will they achieve the ajor and will they achieve the deeper reward? The answer to the question is: let them go and declare the shahada and then try again. Allahu Akbar! Let them understand the deen and try again.
It's like a non-muslim entering the masjid. He will feel like I've said the serenity of the house of Allah. But if he reads salah, the salah, one of the conditions of acceptance of that salah is for you to be a Muslim. So although they might feel for a moment temporarily that we are happy, we are content, there is no deeper blessing that will come out of it because they are lacking iman and belief in Allahsubhanahu wa'ta'ala.
The same applies to the Muslim when we have Islam in us. We are saying the shahada, but if we are only paying lip service to it. I'm only saying it by tongue and I'm not worried about anything else, you know, adultery to be committed. It's done. Haram to be done. It's done. Cheating, deceiving. It's done. Anything else it's done. And then I want to come and say allahu akbar. My farad might be fulfilled, but do you achieve the broader blessings when your heart is not even trying to give up the other sins?
This is why this evening I wanted to raise this very important point to say: if you would like the blessings of salah to be felt in your life, you need to have a good heart. In your heart, you need to tell yourself, "Yeah Allah, whatever wrong I am doing, help me to leave it. Whatever bad I am doing, help me to recognize it." You know, sometimes we are doing bad things.
We don't recognize that we are doing bad things. Some people are involved in innovation and bid'ah. Sometimes they don't recognize it because they never thought about it. They did not even look into it and they don't even realize what I'm doing is wrong. So first we ask Allah, "ya Allah, grant me the ability to distinguish between right and wrong and grant me the ability to stay on the right path."
Beautiful Du'as for Guidance
"Oh Allah, make loved to us Iman and beautify it in our hearts and make hated for us that which is disbelief and sin and that which is transgression, keep it away from us."
And the next du'a which we are taught by the Prophetsallallahu alayhi wa sallam:
(Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 4214)
"Oh Allah, show us the right as right and help us tread on it and show us the bad as bad and help us stay away from it."
Amazing du'a which means I want to see the good as good and help me to walk towards it. And I want to see the bad as bad and help me to stay away from it. This is when I will be able to achieve the greater blessings of salah.
Worldly Benefits of Salah
So let's look from a purely worldly aspect. How does salah bless you? How is salah blessing you from a worldly aspect? Religiously, we know we will achieve blessings. Allah says in Salah, Salah prohibits from immorality and evil. It will stop you and block you from immorality and evil.
You read your first salah of the day and you are worried about the next salah. Between the two, you will not be doing anything evil if you read your salat adh-dhuhr and in your mind you are thinking "now is salatul asr in a few moments. Let me worry about it." How are you going to sin between the two salats when you are worried about the next salah? When you read salatul asr, you are worried about maghrib.
How are you going to sin between the two? This is the consciousness of salah. It will help you to become a better person when you talk with Allah beautiful words of the Quran. How can you go out and swear? How can you go out and lie? Now when you meet your spouse, your family members, your friends, those you work with, your acquaintances and others, you will have good words because your mouth is used to uttering good words in salah. You are conscious of it. These are some of the spiritual benefits.
Quranic Verse on Seeking Help Through Patience and Prayer
Another one. Also Allah says:
"O you who believe, seek assistance through bearing patience, forbearance, what is known as sabr and salah." Salah meaning the prayer, calling out to Allahsubhanahu wa'ta'ala. So you will be able to achieve alleviation of your suffering if you fulfill your salah.
Perfect Timing of Prayers
Now if you go to the worldly benefit, Salah is spaced out in such a beautiful way, such a beautiful way. One early in the morning just before the Sun rises. So you are up as a Muslim. You are up. The non- muslim doctors tell you "early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." That's an English saying. So we are taught early to bed and early to rise is your duty as a Muslim. Allah automatically wants to make you healthy, wealthy and wise subhanallah, for free, if you are going to live Islam.
What time will you get up? Can you be a person who's going to get up 11 in the morning when everyone's already at work? No, if you're a Muslim, one of the blessings of salah is you are up on time. When you're up on time, you get your children up on time mashallah, you read your Fajr Salah. You might sit for a while with your Quran. You might say a few good words to your family members and then you probably will have breakfast together. Something light, your tea or whatever you have together.
Today the world is weeping and crying because families are disintegrating. Everyone is on his own computer locked in his own room. No one talks to each other. Father goes to work early morning. Mother's gone somewhere else. Children gone to school and you know, the house is now split. You're a Muslim, you get up early mashallah. You spend the beginning of the day with Allah and then with your family. You've had the cup of tea. Even if it took you five minutes, the blessing of salah is you will see your children. "How are you my darling? How are you doing? My little boy, my little daughter. I really love you today. You're going make a dua for me. Let me make a dua for you." This is a beautiful environment in a Muslim home which is lost in a lot of homes. It's lost.
Our children are brought up by the television and the computer because we don't have time for them. One meal with your child is priceless. People really are suffering because they don't spend time with their children. So the children don't know what's happening in the world. But you get up in the morning inshallah, one of the blessings of salah, you will see your children off inshallah whether they go to school and whatever happens.
The Dhuhr Prayer and Its Worldly Benefits
What time is salat ad-dhuhr? Just after the zenith, you know. Just after the zenith when the Sun is right at the top, just after it tilts off is salat ad-dhuhr. Amazing how the world has kept that time as a lunch hour. Have you noticed that? Lunch hour! So people say "when is lunch hour?" You say similar to the time of dhuhr, amazing!
Look at a Muslim, Allah did not inconvenience you from the morning right up to that time. There are some voluntary prayers, but there are no compulsory prayers. So when you get to Allah's meaning, when you get to a higher level that Allah would like you, you know, to achieve more and more, you can offer
voluntary prayers. But if you have not yet got to that level, at least you know that, you know what, it is now midday. Let me do something.
What do you do? You make wudu. Wudu is ablution, this ablution with water. What does it do for you? If your face is washed, your hands are washed, your feet are washed, you are fresh. You have wiped your head and so on, you're feeling good. That medically is proven to rejuvenate the individual at midday. Just like it does at any other time, rejuvenate you, you're woken up. You are refreshed again, amazing! You've washed your face with cold water.
We are looking at health blessings of salah. Amazing! Now you come in the middle of all the hype of the day. You have unplugged from your work, and you have plugged in with Allahsubhanahu wa'ta'ala. Allahu Akbar! Silent recitation in salat al-dhuhr and you're just thinking subhanAllah, you are reading and the amazing feeling of serenity. Wallahi, if the non-muslims knew the sweetness of the salah we have, they would fight us to take it from us, promise you. Ask those who have turned to Islam. They will tell you no religion has an act of worship anywhere near the salah of a Muslim. No religion, neither Judaism nor Christianity, not at all. Salah is a gift, so consider it a gift.
And then you have salatul asr mashallah, the late afternoon prayer. And then you have salatul maghrib just after the sunset and then before you go to bed you have salatul isha.
The Perfect Daily Schedule
Wow! Look at one of the big blessings: your day timetable, excellent! You know, the professionals of today, you go to work. What do they do? Eight o'clock? They're there. One o'clock? They knock off. Two o'clock? They're back. Five o'clock? They're back at home. Everyday like clockwork. Nobody needs to say anything, they're there and come time they're back like clockwork. Why? They need a salary, they need to live, they need to feed their families. They need something, you need to buy the Porsche Cayenne mashallah, you need to do so much more. You know, we're living in Qatar. We cannot just drive a little Toyota Corolla. This is Qatar. You need a Lamborghini mashallah, Allah protect us.
So people want to afford everything, they go to work on time, they come back on time and they say no, I don't want to lose my job. If my boss tells me come all the time, I go. Listen very carefully: We have something more important than the dirham and the dinar. We have something more important than the car, the cayenne and the Lamborghini. We have something more important than the villa and the cosur, the palaces. We have Jannah to prepare for. We have paradise to prepare for.
The Ultimate Blessing - Paradise
One of the biggest blessings of salah: It does not only help you through your world, but it helps you through into the eternal life of paradise. So many people have passed away in front of us. They used to go to work. They used to work for a living, they used to try their best to feed their families and so on, but
what happened? They passed away. They did not wait to see the benefit of that money. If they were fulfilling their salah, good luck to them. If they were fulfilling their duty to Allah, good news to them. So many have died in salah. So many have died coming to salah. So many have died just having left from salah. What about us? May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala open our doors? May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala grant us an understanding.
Imagine we are ready to work for a salary because we will get promotion. We will get a bigger package. We will be happier. We will be able to build a house in our own country or help our relatives and so on, so we are happy. We work so hard. Allah says just need a little bit of salah, a little bit. It doesn't take too long. In 24 hours you are being asked for minimum of 24 minutes. For every hour pay one minute. Come on! For every hour pay one minute. How long does it take? Minimum, minimum, obviously it should be more than that. But I'm talking of the bare minimum: 24 minutes for the five salah a day. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala grant us blessing.
The Blessing of Barakah
To be honest with you, when a person fulfills salah correctly, another great blessing is barakah. Barakah is, it translates as the term blessing and what it means is Allah grants you the benefit of perhaps a small amount of money that will last a long period of time. Small amount of money that you buy something with and it is a bargain. You still have change and you are so happy and sometimes you might have struck a deal. You buy a car for example. The baraka in the vehicle because you use it to go to the house of Allah and to do good things. The money you have used on servicing it or panel beating it or anything else is almost nil if any at all. Why? Because there is blessing.
But when there is no blessing in one's wealth, you can have a salary of 20,000 riyal. What will happen? In one week you see it in my money going? I don't understand what happened here. How come I had so much money in my hand. It's gone. That's because we did not develop a link with Allah. Wallahi, you develop a link with Allah. You will be able to prioritize even how you spend. Amazing how you spend because a person who fulfills five salah a day is conscious of Allah. And he's trying to follow Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Do you think he's going to blow his money and throw it away and be extravagant and so on? No! He will understand that Islam teaches me neither to be too extravagant nor to be too miserly, but in the middle. I need to make sure that I have spent where I need to and I need to save where I can. I pay my zakah, and I give my charities, and I need to know this wealth belongs to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. It is an amanah just like my body and yours.
The Body as a Trust From Allah
And I perhaps want to end with this topic or with this particular point: My body and yours is actually not my body and yours. It is an amanah and a trust from Allah. It is a uniform for the soul that you have. This uniform you're going to take it out and leave it and you're going to go. Do you know that? Your soul, the
ruh, the soul that is you, has been lent a uniform which you are wearing whilst you are in the world. Once you die, you remove your uniform and you go. Uniform will remain for as long as Allah wants and how he wants. So remember, do not be deceived to think this is my body. I can do what I want. You cannot. It's just a uniform. When you have your uniform as your workplace, if you're a policeman or a security guard or anything else and you have a uniform. Are you allowed to do whatever you want with that uniform? No, you cannot just put paint and colors and say, you know, this is my uniform. No, your workplace has rules. The same applies your body. You cannot just do what you want with it. Keep it and handle it the way Allah has asked you to keep it and handle it and Allah will grant you happiness, contentment, calmness, serenity.
This beautiful body that Allah has given us, it requires spirituality. It needs spirituality. It feels and it senses. Amazingly, the benefit in anything that is spiritual, this plant in front of me subhanallah, it feels and senses. It feels and senses spirituality as well. People might laugh, but wallahi it has feelings.
The Adhan and the Flower
Recently, if any one of you have come across a YouTube clip of a flower that opens up when the Adhan is called? Go and check it on YouTube. Search for the Adhan flower and you will find these flowers that open up only when the Adhan is called. Wallahi! You will find it. This news was on CNN. At least something good came out of CNN, you see? So amazing! If a flower responds to the call to success, aren't we fools if we do not respond to the call of success? Amazing call to salah, it must make our hair stand. You're a mu'min, you're a believer. The call to success opens a flower, but it does not open my heart and yours. Wallahi, it's about time we revisited this.
Closing Message
I call on yourselves and myself to revisit our connection with salah and with Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. Wallahi, the owner of the doors of success shall open those doors of success for you and for me if we answer his call to success whenever he calls to success and never lose hope. Continue fulfilling your salah. One day you will find yourself smiling all the way to Jannah. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala accept it from myself and yourselves. May he make us true followers of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. I have touched on a slightly different aspect of the blessings of salah, seeing that last year when I was here I spoke about salah in the same venue, and I hope and I pray we can remember what was said inshallah. We ask Allah to benefit us all and we love you for the pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. We are meeting for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. And we ask Allah to gather us in Jannah and until we meet again sometime if Allah wills, we say:
Closing Du'a
(Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 6403)
May Allah accept this gathering and benefit us all through His infinite mercy and grace. Ameen.
