In this powerful sermon, Sheikh Muiz Bukhary reflects on the beginning of a new Gregorian year, using it as an opportunity for deep reflection and renewal. He highlights two key themes: first, the blessing of time gifted by Allah, encouraging reliance on Allah's divine decree (Qadr) and placing unwavering trust in His plans (Tawakkul). Second, he reminds us that with each passing year, we move closer to our ultimate destination, the Akhirah. The sermon underscores the fleeting nature of this worldly life, the inevitability of death, and the need to prepare for our meeting with Allah by living with purpose, gratitude, and faith.
