Building A Temperament Of Imaan By Moulana Yusuf AK Salejee

Main Topic

The purpose of the upcoming Ijtema and the need to cultivate a true Islamic temperament (Imani Mizaj) through effort and sacrifice for Deen.

An Ijtema is not merely a social gathering, but an earnest effort to revive Deen and draw Allah's mercy upon the earth.
True success comes from internalizing the kalimah (La ilaha illallah) and giving preference to Allah's commandments over worldly profits.
The early generations possessed a unique mindset (Imani Mizaj) where material wealth held no value compared to Taqdeer and the pleasure of Allah.
True reformation of the Ummah can only occur using the same methods established by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and his Companions.

Surah As-Saff (61:10-11): Guidance towards the transaction that saves one from a painful punishment—believing in Allah and striving in His path with wealth and lives.
Hadith: "The world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever."
Saying of Imam Malik (Rahimahullah): The latter part of this Ummah will not be rectified except by that which rectified its beginning.

Prioritize obligatory Salah over business transactions and small financial gains.
Attend the Ijtema with the intention of self-rectification and spending time in the path of Allah.
Keep the company of the pious (Ahlullah) to absorb their good qualities and strengthen personal Iman.
