To be a better Mu'min

 To be a better Mu’min

by Anwar Ibrahim, ME

Tronoh, 27^th May- After the regular Maghrib prayers at the An-Nur Mosque, students were enlightened with an informative talk by special guest Imam Muda Nazrul. Being the first runner-up for ‘Program Imam Muda Season 2’, he kept the audience thoroughly engaged with his sense of humour and talent for singing.

Titled ‘Asas Kehidupan Mukmin yang Berjaya’, his talk, which was mainly directed at teenagers, focused on how to be a better and successful person in this world as well as in the hereafter. The one hour and a half talk was an eye opener to those who attended. According to him, in order to be a successful mukmin, one needs to follow 10 guidelines. However, he stressed on two very important points: to trust Allah S.W.T and follow Prophet Muhammad(sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam); and to develop and maintain good Akhlak. These two guidelines make up the strong foundation in becoming a successful person.  

The first point he highlighted, as mentioned before, was to trust Allah S.W.T and follow Prophet Muhammad(sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). He said that everyone can excel in anything they choose, but in order to be really successful (this world and the hereafter included), one must ensure that he is on the right path and directed by the Almighty.

The second point brought up was that we as humans must always have good Akhlak (moral) and Akidah (faith). We must always remember and have faith in the Almighty and the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).Trust in the Almighty and the Prophet S.A.W is vital, because if we place out trust in the Almighty and the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), we will not hesitate to defend the good and seek guidance from the Almighty in everything we do.

Imam Muda Nazrul also emphasized that we must always practice ‘Amar makruf nahi mungkar’ (‘Enjoining what is right and forbidding what is evil’) in our daily lives. The talk ended with the Isyak prayers and a photo-taking session with his fans.
