The comprehensive blessing of 'Al-Afiyah' (well-being and safety)

Sheikh Saleh al-Humaid's sermon profoundly emphasizes the comprehensive blessing of 'Al-Afiyah', which encompasses well-being, health, and safety from all harm. It highlights that 'Al-Afiyah' is a fervent prayer often made by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his companions like Abu Bakr, and even Aisha, who stated she would only ask for it on Laylat al-Qadr. 'Al-Afiyah' covers protection from past, present, and future evils, spanning spiritual and physical health, family welfare, and national security, with special emphasis on the importance of a safe homeland like Saudi Arabia. The sermon underscores that all worldly possessions can eventually become tiresome except for 'Al-Afiyah', representing Allah's defense of His servant from all adversities. It encourages believers to constantly seek 'Al-Afiyah' from Allah, as it is a gift allowing for a life of ease, freedom from burdens, and peace.
