The Shaykh started by praising Allaah and sending salaat and salaam upon the best of creation, the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم and those who follow his Sunnah.
The favours of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى upon us
Dear Brothers and Sisters, we all know the ni`mah (نعمة – grace, favour) that Allaah تعالى has bestowed upon us with regard to the guidance that He تعالى provided us:
These are ni`am (graces) from Allaah which we need to thank Him سبحانه وتعالى for. We need to thank Allaah تعالى from our hearts – by having proper belief. We need to thank Allaah تعالى by our tongues – by speaking about the ni`am that Allaah تعالى bestowed upon us. We have to thank Allaah by our actions – by adhering to the correct and proper manhaj, the manhaj (methodology) of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. That is what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم left us upon, as he صلى الله عليه وسلم said in the Saheeh hadeeth: “I have left you upon a white and clear way, its night is like its day, no one misses it except one who is astray.”[1] He صلى الله عليه وسلم described it by saying “I have left amongst you that which if you hold onto, you will not be misguided: the Book of Allaah, and my Sunnah, and they both would never be found separated until they come before me, to my lake (the hawd) on the Day of Resurrection."[2]
So dear brothers and sisters, the only way to thank Allaah تعالى is to obey Him. Dear brothers and sisters, Allaah سبحانه وتعالى gave us all these graces (ni`am) only so that we should obey Him, follow His Messengers and grasp the proper `Aqeedah (belief). This is the only way to survive in this life and in the Hereafter. So brothers and sisters, fear Allaah with your health, fear Allaah with your wealth, fear Allaah with your family, fear Allaah regarding the guidance that He سبحانه وتعالى gave you so that it will not be taken away from you and then you find no one to guide you. May Allaah تعالى keep us all upon the right path of guidance - upon the Qur’aan and Sunnah.

The Shaykh started by praising Allaah and sending salaat and salaam upon the best of creation, the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم and those who follow his Sunnah.
The favours of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى upon us
Dear Brothers and Sisters, we all know the ni`mah (نعمة – grace, favour) that Allaah تعالى has bestowed upon us with regard to the guidance that He تعالى provided us:
- Guidance to Islaam
- Guidance to practicing
- Guidance to the proper manhaj (methodology) of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the Sahaabah (Companions), the students of the Sahaabah and the proper Scholars
- The ni`mah that Allaah has bestowed upon us by the Hajj and what is brings about from forgiveness of all previous sins. Also, for those who did not perform Hajj but who fasted on the Day of `Arafah, Allaah تعالى forgives them all their sins of the previous year andthe coming year.
These are ni`am (graces) from Allaah which we need to thank Him سبحانه وتعالى for. We need to thank Allaah تعالى from our hearts – by having proper belief. We need to thank Allaah تعالى by our tongues – by speaking about the ni`am that Allaah تعالى bestowed upon us. We have to thank Allaah by our actions – by adhering to the correct and proper manhaj, the manhaj (methodology) of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. That is what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم left us upon, as he صلى الله عليه وسلم said in the Saheeh hadeeth: “I have left you upon a white and clear way, its night is like its day, no one misses it except one who is astray.”[1] He صلى الله عليه وسلم described it by saying “I have left amongst you that which if you hold onto, you will not be misguided: the Book of Allaah, and my Sunnah, and they both would never be found separated until they come before me, to my lake (the hawd) on the Day of Resurrection."[2]
So dear brothers and sisters, the only way to thank Allaah تعالى is to obey Him. Dear brothers and sisters, Allaah سبحانه وتعالى gave us all these graces (ni`am) only so that we should obey Him, follow His Messengers and grasp the proper `Aqeedah (belief). This is the only way to survive in this life and in the Hereafter. So brothers and sisters, fear Allaah with your health, fear Allaah with your wealth, fear Allaah with your family, fear Allaah regarding the guidance that He سبحانه وتعالى gave you so that it will not be taken away from you and then you find no one to guide you. May Allaah تعالى keep us all upon the right path of guidance - upon the Qur’aan and Sunnah.
