I bear witness that Allah is only one of his companions, his Lord, the Almighty.

I bear witness that Muhammad is the Most Merciful.

And He is the Messenger of Imam Muttakin.

And He is the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds,

who is the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful,

and He who has been with us for a long time,

until he was a woman.

He does not have any mercy on him except for this.

My brothers, my sisters,

My brothers, my sisters, the first and foremost piece of advice and reminder that we should

be commencing with at all times is the consciousness of Allah, develop a relationship with your maker. That is

what will help in this world and the next. My brothers and sisters, when we came onto the earth, one thing

was certain that we tended to forget. We are going to leave this place. When we came into this world, we came in order to leave it at some point. That is the only thing that is certain. When we don't know. Unfortunately,

while Allah gives us more days to live, we tend to forget the fact that we are going to go back to Him. When a baby is born, if that baby were to die in the early stages of life, it would be a great loss for the parents and for humanity at large. But that particular baby is going to be a great loss.

When we came back to the best possible place, it could be because it didn't even start its life on earth. It was not witness to all the distractions on the earth. And as children grow up, the same applies to them. Once they clock puberty, they become responsible. At the juncture, the angels begin to write. All the goodness of Allah, the good and the good.

The good and the bad that is done. And everything that that child now that it has become an adult will do to develop the relationship with Allah is also written. That will be a bonus.

You and I grew up. Today we are seated here. May Allah grant us contentment. We are all searching for happiness yet when we were babies, we were quite happy and content with a little feed and a little burp. And so on, we started smiling at small things.

For as long as we were not wet, we were not soiled. It wasn't too hot. And we were not made to be scared. We were okay. For as long as we were fed, we were fine. Small things made us happy.

As time passed, we were sad with small things. Now we want bigger things. We need more complicated stuff. The toys that made us happy when we were babies no longer made us happy as we grew older, four years, five years. You can't give me the same toy I had when I was two years.

Later on, we were disatisfied until we had the latest of the time in our hands. Today, the little children are not happy. Until you give them the latest technology, the phones and the iPads. And sometimes parents give them these things without actually considering how dangerous it is to give the child the space of technology.

If it were unrestricted. But my brothers and sisters, the more Allah gives us life and the longer we live, why is it that we become so discontent? We're not happy anymore.
