My beloved brothers and sisters, indeed we should develop a much better relationship with Allah.

And every time we should be conscious of something known as Takwallaah, Azza wa Jalla.

O you who believe, develop the correct relationship with Allah, develop the consciousness of Allah in a way that it should be.

And don't die accepting the condition of submission.

What that means is, every moment of your life ensure that you are in submission to Allah following his commands, staying away from his prohibitions.

Wherever you have faulted, make sure that it was not out of the defiance of Allah, but rather it was out of your human weakness and it was a sin rather than defiance.

If it was a sin, you need to make sure that you've engaged in seeking the forgiveness of Allah on a daily basis several times a day because you don't know when you're going to die.

And if you don't know when you're going to die, but you've been seeking the forgiveness of Allah often, then chances are the day you die you would have sought the forgiveness of Allah several times before you left the world.

And that would be the best thing you could have on your slate for the day of judgment.

So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us, don't die accepting the condition of submission.

Make sure that when you die, you have something good to give to Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, your record that which you're going to show him.

Brothers and sisters, we all know what has happened in Beirut, in Lebanon. Very, very sad. Really, really depressing. In fact, very shocking.

And I can not even imagine what the people of Beirut are going through right now.

This is not in any way undermining those who are going through difficulty and hardship across the globe. Be it Kashmir, be it Palestine, be it Yemen, be it parts of Africa, Somalia, wherever it may be.

Be it Bangladesh or India. In fact, the list is endless. No matter how many countries I mention, they will be from among you, the viewers and listeners who are going to say, well, he didn't mention my place, my country.

So that's the reason why I prefer not to mention the countries rather, just to make mention generally of, oh Allah, help those who are struggling wherever they are.

Help those who are being oppressed, no matter where they are and who they are. Oh Allah, stop the oppressor from oppression, no matter who he is and so on.

Because in that way, you're not going to exclude anyone and you're not going to forget anyone. But I want to spare a moment today to speak about the largest blast that I have known of in my life.

And I am in my forties and I must tell you my brothers and sisters, I was shocked. I shed a few tears when I saw what happened.

And we don't know, there are still investigations going on as to what exactly transpired. People are saying perhaps the early findings might be that it was negligence on the part of some.

My brothers and sisters, no matter what it was, it has happened. People have lost their lives. People have perished. May Allah grant them general to Firdous.
