In today’s khutbah for Friday Congregational prayer, the Imam talked about the essence of praising Allah The Almighty. Try as much as possible to praise him after waking up, getting food to eat, whatever happens, etc. Because you’re alive, someone’s dead. The only time you go hungry is during the month of Ramadan or voluntary fasting. ALHAMDULILAH, you have food. Others don’t.
          	
          	Whatever happened to you, it could’ve been worse, so IN ALL, ALHAMDULILAH, regardless.

*_THE SPECIAL PEOPLE OF ALLAH_*. BismilLaahir Rahmanir Raheem
          
          It is such an incomparable honor to be among the special people of ALLAH …right?! To be among the ones close and beloved to The King of kings, The Owner of the Day of Judgment, The Creator of All Mankind…The All-Powerful, The Eternal…. That’s such a glorious and most noble position.
          
          But who are the people of ALLAH? What are their characteristics? What makes them special? This is all mentioned to us in a beautiful hadith of our Noble Messenger, Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him).
          
          It was narrated that Anas bin Malik may ALLAH be pleased with him said:
          “The Messenger of ALLAH said:
          ‘ALLAH has HIS own people among mankind.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of ALLAH, who are they?’ He said: ‘The people of the Qur’an are the people of ALLAH and those who are closest to HIM. [Sunan ibn Majah].
          
          Spending time with the Qur’an (reading, reciting, memorizing, learning and contemplating its meaning) is the best and most enriching time you could spend. It is the heaviest on your scale of good deeds. It is the best form of dhikr (remembrance of ALLAH).
          
          Every second and every letter you recite gets you richer and gets you closer to our Ultimate Goal, fills your scale of good deeds and fills you with Light and Barakah (blessings) and Wisdom.
          
          The time we spend with the Qur’an is the time we spend with The Best Words, The Heaviest Words, The Most Noble and Most Rewarding Words. The Ultimate Truth!
          So lets make time every single day to recite the Qur’an and spend time with it. Find companions of the Qur'an to help you with that and make a group where you help one another to do so regularly. Find teachers, religious circles, halaqahs…etc. to keep you committed.
          
          Don’t miss out on this reward. Strive for it. Pursue it earnestly and tirelessly.
