Al Wahab - The Bestower (Nov 14th 2008)

In Today's Friday Sermon our dear Huzur explained one of the Divine attribute of God called Al Wahab. Wahab is an arabic word which means Bestower. Bestower is the one who bestows and bless on his servants.

God is the one who blesses when we ask and also when we do not ask. He bestows His blessings all the time in our lives which when we look upon makes us realize indeed our God is a Living God.

Huzur explained about the prayer God has taught us, based upon this attribute . The prayer where parents pray for each other and their children, so that moral excellence and goodness may continue from within the family to one generation to another.

To leave behind a child whether its boy or girl, who is firm on taqwa - righteousness becomes a foremost duty of any parent who lives the life of a servant of the Gracious God and gives precedence to God in all matters.

Allah only wishes us to learn ways and means of seeking good.He has drawn our attention to a most significant aspect that we should not simply seek the pleasure of God for ourselves,rather also for our future generations.

May Allah enable all of us to do so. Ameen
