Khuṭbahs

We live in a world filled with pressure, pressure to look a certain way, achieve certain grades, please family, meet expectations, and keep up with everyone else on social media.

Our lives are a continuous succession of Allāh’s favours. There are many favours that Allāh has bestowed upon us that cannot even be enumerated.

Our noble Messenger ﷺ came with a universal message. His message was not restricted to a certain place, tribe, or nation. It was not meant for a limited period either.

The Masjid — this noble house in which we gather — is not an ordinary building. It is a place chosen by Allāh to be His house on earth.

Allāh created this universe with everything in it. He created good and evil, benefit and harm, and He made causes for each.

There is no doubt that Allāh has completed our Dīn for us, completed His favours upon us, and sent us a Messenger ﷺ who was extremely merciful towards his people.

The reality of life is that one day it must come to an end. Everyone who enters this Dunyā (world) must eventually leave. The only way of exit from this world is through Mawt (death).

One of the greatest blessings that Allāh has bestowed upon us is the blessing of food. It is a means of survival, pleasure, and strength in worship.

Among the many blessings that Allāh has bestowed upon us is the gift of a home, a place of rest, dignity, privacy, and protection from harm, etc.

Islām is a complete way of life. It cares for our physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological wellbeing. It addresses sadness, fear, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

When speaking about real men in the Qur’ān, Allāh tells us: “Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allāh.” (Aḥzāb 33:23)

Indeed, Allāh has urged us to reflect and contemplate upon ourselves.
