In the Name of Allāh.
All praise and gratitude belong to Allāh for guiding us to Islām and illuminating our hearts with the radiance of His Guidance. Truly, there is no guidance apart from Him. He states: “Indeed Allāh conferred a great favor on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muḥammad) from among themselves, reciting unto them His Verses (the Qur’ān), and purifying them (from sins by their following him), and instructing them (in) the Book (the Qur’ān) and Al-Ḥikmah [the wisdom and the Sunnah of the Prophet (i.e., his legal ways, statements, acts of worship, etc.)], while before that they had been in manifest error.” [Sūrah Aal-‘Imrān (3): 164]
O servants of Allāh! Reflect and express gratitude to Allāh for the remarkable favor and immense bounty bestowed upon us by sending His esteemed Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) to complete the faith. What a gift that can only be truly recognized by the thankful believers. Alḥamdulillāh Rabbil ‘Ālamīn!
Being a part of the Muslim Ummah is not due to one’s efforts or because one is superior to others. It is, rather, an immeasurable favor from Allāh, one that we must constantly be grateful for.
I beseech Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, to bestow His Mercy and Blessings upon our beloved Prophet (ﷺ), his family, his companions, and all who adhere to his noble teachings. May we remain steadfast in our faith and appreciative of the blessings that Allāh has granted us, Aameen.
