Gaining Tawfeeq: Stop Closing The Doors To Success - Part 2 | Imam Khalid Latif

Tawfeeq is something that we quite often ask for in our du'aas, both when we pray directly to Allah and also when we ask others to make du'aa for us. In this two-part khutbah, Imam Khalid Latif gives an overview of what Tawfeeq is, it's definition, and discuss 6 things that Ibn Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, cites as what close that doors of Tawfeeq for us.
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
Shaqeeq Ibn Ibaraheem said:
“The doors of success have been closed upon the creation because of six things:
1) Their busying themselves with the blessings of Allah instead of thanking Allah for them,
2) their desire for knowledge while they abandon actions,
3) the hastiness to sin and delaying repentance,
4) the deception of having righteous companions and not taking them as examples,
5) the turning away of the dunya from them while they chase it,
6) and the approach of the afterlife towards them while they turn away from it.”
