So I ask you my brothers and sisters to develop the correct relationship with Allah, to improve on your relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and to believe in him for indeed he is your maker and mine and the maker of entire creation.

My brothers, my sisters Allah Almighty has chosen the messengers, those who came to us bringing his message.

Allah Almighty has chosen them from the very beginning and he has selected those who are the best in every way.

And therefore if we look at what the Quran says, it speaks to us about the character and conduct of these messengers and prophets.

And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says he chose them from the very beginning from Adam, Noah and all those who followed.

Indeed Allah has chosen Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of Imran over the worlds.

Descendants, some of them from others and Allah is all hearing and knowing.

From this we learn that Allah Almighty chooses from us and gives people different gifts.

The gift that Allah bestowed upon these messengers was the fact that they were chosen to carry the message to the rest of us.

If you look at the outstanding characteristics of these messengers, we take a look at Ibrahim Ali his salam.

The father of the prophets who came after him, Allah Almighty says,

mentioning the qualities of Ibrahim Ali his salam, indeed Abraham was for bearing. He often grieved and he was often returning in repentance to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

And he lamented over things that he may have done that he could have done better, although he is the messenger of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Innahu o kanasadik al-wadi when Allah speaks of his ma'il the son of Ibrahim, Allah Almighty says indeed he was true to his promise.

How many of us are true to our promise unto Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?

Indeed these are characteristics that make leaders. If we would like to succeed in this life, these are the characteristics.

Often turning to Allah, one who is truthful in their promises, one who grieves over their condition and considers how they can improve themselves.

Then Allah Almighty speaks about some of the other prophets of Allah and Allah says,

they were all from those who bore patience. They went through struggles, they went through trials, they went through challenges, every single one of them bore patience.

This is a lesson for you and I to bear patience in our lives.

Things may happen and we will have to bear patience. This is what Allah Almighty has chosen for the messengers and this is what we should be learning lesson from.
