FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON)

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 23rd day of Jumaadal Aakhir, 1445AH (Friday, 5th January 2024). *_FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON)_*. BismilLah.


Islam teaches us that ALLAH is the most forgiving,  and will go on forgiving, repeatedly as long as we seek forgiveness sincerely. Part of being human is making mistakes. Sometimes, the mistakes are made without deliberation or a bad intention, but sometimes we knowingly and deliberately sin and do wrong to others. Therefore, as human beings, we are constantly in need of forgiveness.


The life of this world is full of trials and tribulations,  however ALLAH did not abandon humankind to these tests and trials. ALLAH equipped humankind with an intellect and the ability to make choices and decisions. ALLAH also gave us words of guidance.  As our CREATOR, HE is well aware of our nature and eager to guide us on the straight path that leads to eternal bliss.


The Quran is ALLAH’s final revelation, and it is applicable for all of humankind; all people, all places, all times.  Throughout the Quran ALLAH, The Most MERCIFUL continually asks us to turn to HIM in repentance and ask for HIS forgiveness.  This is the road to salvation.  This is our rescue from destruction.

ALLAH says;

“And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks God's forgiveness, he will find God Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Quran 4:10).

Again, ALLAH commanded the Prophet  to say to mankind;

“O my people!  Ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to HIM, HE will send you (from the sky) abundant rain, and add strength to your strength, so do not turn away as criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of God.” (Quran 11:52).


Again, The Maintainer of Life (Al-qayyuum) commanded the prophet to deliver this beautiful message to us in the Quran;

“Say: ‘O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)!  Despair not of the MERCY of ALLAH your LORD, indeed ALLAH forgives ALL SINS. Truly, HE is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Quran 39:53). ALLAHU AKBAR. AlhamdulilLah. 


*_May ALLAH (Al-Haadi, The Guide) keep guiding us all and protect us from deviation_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
