High Aspirations

Look at yourself today. Where do you stand? Nothing brought you to where you are today except your ambitions and your aspirations. If high, then you will be high. But if low, then you'll always be low. Don't blame circumstances. Don't blame conditions. Don't blame others. Allah gave us the power to choose our response to our conditions. The conditions of the companions of the Prophet (pbuh) were far greater, more difficult, harsher than the conditions that we're going through today. We're living in a state of luxury although the Ummah is in a state of humiliation. Divorce blame three times and never come back to it. Your aspirations decide where you are going to end up and collectively as a whole Ummah, our aspirations will collectively lead to our future. Whether high or low, it is we who decide because Allah has given us the choice.

Aim High & Don't Belittle Yourself

A believer doesn't settle for a second place. A believer is not satisfied with mediocrity. A believer is never content with just enough. Don't limit yourself. Sulaiman (as), a prophet, a king, son of a king and son of a prophet, didn't stop there, instead he asked Allah for a unique kingdom that no one else will have after him. Musa (as), one of the greatest 5 messengers of Allah, brother of a Prophet, and one who spoke to Allah directly, didn't stop there, instead he aimed higher and asked to see Allah with his eyes. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws), and we all know the status of our Prohpet (saws), requested his Ummah to ask Allah to grant him a place in Paradise that is only reserved for one person, at the peak of Paradise. Umar ibn AbdulAziz (r) one of the greatest and successful leaders in history, said on his death bed: "I have a soul that always aims high." Abu Bakr (r) upon hearing about the gates of Paradise, asked the Prophet (saws) if it's possible for a person to be invited to enter from all gates of Paradise. Showing us the high determination and mentality of the companions of the Prophet (saws). Jumuah Khutbah delivered on the 30th of July 2010 by shaykh Said Rageah at Green Lane Masjid, Birmingham UK.
