Yaser Birjas – Arriving at the Right Airport: Worshiping Allah the Right Way

About this lecture

In this engaging lecture, Shaykh Yaser Birjas uses a personal story about rushing to catch a flight — and nearly boarding the wrong one — as a powerful metaphor for how we worship Allah and whether our deeds will be accepted on the Day of Judgment. Drawing on the Quranic verse "Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in" from Surah Al-Fatihah, he breaks down the two essential pillars of worship (love and submission) and the two pillars of tawakkul (trust and reliance), offering a practical framework for ensuring our ibadah is sincere, correct, and truly fulfilling. The lecture concludes with four actionable steps to experience the sweetness of worship and arrive, on the Day of Judgment, at the right destination.
