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.
