Did you know that telling the truth is a superpower? It sets you on the path to Paradise and fills your heart with light. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise.”
In this special episode of SoulFood, we continue with the second half of our conversation with Ustadh Omar Popal. We talk about people who act like God's gatekeepers to limit other people's access to God, Prophetic care and mercy, and the blessings that are passed down through the spiritual connection of the Sanad (chains of transmission).
In this special episode of SoulFood, we engage in a lively and informal conversation with Ustadh Omar Popal. We talk about experiencing the love of Allah ﷻ as a more powerful emotion than fear, how Ust. Omar fell in love with sacred knowledge, and in closing, he mentions a powerful story about the importance of honoring all of God's creation.
Allah ﷻ says, "Inform My servants that I am indeed the Forgiving, the Merciful." [Quran 15:49]
The noblest station in Paradise is to be with our Prophet ﷺ and to accompany him.
