All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all creation—and may He extol the Messenger in the highest company of Angels, and grant him peace and security—likewise to his family, Companions, and true followers.
[04/11/2025] True Richness Is in Contentment – By Abu ‘Inaayah Seif حفظه الله. Khuṭbah at Markaz Mu’aadh bin Jamal, Slough, UK.
Some points discussed during this Khuṭbah:
– A lofty characteristic the servant should adorn himself with.
– “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer verily, to him We will give a good life..” [Sūrah an-Naḥl 16:97]
– Imām aṭ-Ṭabarī (رحمه الله) on how to obtain the “good life” mentioned in the āyah.
– A tremendous du’ā the Messenger ﷺ instructed his Companions (رضى الله عنهم) to say.
– Caution against being discontented with the ḥalāl Allāh has blessed us with.
– “And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh), the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting.” [Sūrah Ṭā Hā 20:131]
– The pathway to sadness and misery.
– A ḥadīth that illustrates the son of Ādam’s insatiable desire for wealth.
