OUR KHUTBAH TODAY IS ABOUT SEEKING GUIDANCE OF ALLAH AZZAWAJAL ALL THE TIME

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 17th day of Dhul-Hijjah 1446AH, Friday, 13th June 2025. 

*_OUR KHUTBAH TODAY IS ABOUT SEEKING GUIDANCE OF ALLAH AZZAWAJAL ALL THE TIME_*. BismilLah. 


Alhamdulillah, for blessing us to be part of this blessed day. We pray that as the hujjaaj complete their hajj rituals, may ALLAH Azzawajal brings them safely home and accepts their acts of worship. Aameen. May ALLAH Azzawajal make us among those who perform Hajj next year Aameen. 


As Muslims,  we often forget that ALLAH Azzawajal alone can help us overcome the many problems we encounter in our daily lives. The secret is to keep ALLAH Azzawajal in mind, constantly, so that when any difficulty arises, we can address it confidently in the knowledge that ALLAH Azzawajal is aware of our situation. We should never face any problem on our own; ALLAH Azzawajal is with us and HE inspires and authorises the solution.


I remember reading a story about a young man who was keen to be a spiritual leader. But his Shaykh said to him, “Before you can hope to be a leader, you must answer this correctly. Imagine you are walking through the fields when suddenly you are attacked by several sheepdogs at once. What will you do?” The man replied, “I will grab a stick or some stones to throw at them and defend myself. His teacher smiled and said, “That’s not the answer. You may hold off one or two dogs, but the others will get you. You cannot defend yourself against so many attacking you all at once. The wise answer is to call on the shepherd, call the dogs’ master, and ask him for help. He’ll call the dogs away and they will leave you unharmed.”


Brothers and Sisters, this is of course a deeply philosophical story with many layers of meaning. The dogs are the problems we face in life, every day. The Shepherd is ALLAH Azzawajal. Don’t try to defend yourself without ALLAH Azzawajal. You cannot win. Take ALLAH Azzawajal into your confidence. Make HIM part of your life, part of every waking and sleeping moment. ALLAH loves it when we seek HIS help in big and small matters. This is another dimension of Taqwa, being constantly mindful of ALLAH Azzawajal, filling our hearts with a sense of love fear and hope. We love ALLAH Azzawajal and hope for Paradise through HIS MERCY, we fear HIS punishment and we are ever hopeful of HIS forgiveness and Mercy. But we must do so with sincerity. Repent sincerely from the haraam job, haraam relationship, stealing, cheating etc. We can't succeed with disobedience to HIS rules and regulations in life. Please remember today is Friday. 

*_May ALLAH (Al-Hayyu, Al-Qayyuum, The Living, The Maintainer of Life) aid us in our efforts to rely only on HIM alone_*. 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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
