Friday Khutbah (Sermons) : Reflect On Other Creatures' Worship
- by Imam Al-Haramain Sheikh Saud ash Shuraim
from the Masjid Al-Haram in Makkah, Rabi’ul Akhir 14 , 1423AH (July 5th, 2002)
The Transcript:
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Messenger, his household and companions.
Fellow Muslims! The Almighty Creator created this universe with His knowledge and wisdom and created in it all that exists of the angels, men, jinn, animals, plants and other things which none but He knows. He created all these for a single purpose that all acts of worship should be solely His, that all Read more ...
It’s easy because Allah made it easy for you
Don't boast to others that it's easy for you to do something others find difficulty in. It's easy because Allah made it easy for you.
Its a Luxury to be safe in our homes with our children while there are other parts of the world where people have bombs dropping on their heads. Appreciate the luxury that we are in & make du'a for our brothers & sisters around the globe. The more time you spend complaining about your problems, the less time you'll have to enjoy your blessings. Make your everyday an opportunity to turn back to Him.
Every moment is an opportunity to thank Him. Everything around us is a reminder to remember Him. Don't belittle Read more ...
Who is Allah?
He is Allah..
The First: Nothing is before Him.
The Last: Nothing is After Him.
The Most High: Nothing is Above Him.
The Most Near: Nothing is beyond His Reach.
He Begets Not, Nor was He Begotten.
The Creator, Provider, and All-Rich.
The All-Seer, The All-Knower.
He is One and Self-Sufficient.

No Vision can encompass Him, but
His Grasp is over all vision...

Picture Perfect : Be Not of Polytheists, Criminals and Disbelievers
Allah says in the Quran, Surah Al Muddaththir, 74:40-46 :-
"(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other, And (ask) of the Sinners (Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers)): "What led you into Hell Fire?"
They will say: "We were not of those who prayed; "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent; "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers; "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment," Read more ...
Blogging and Accountability
Writing and Blogging on the Internet and its Accountability
Today many people have blogs and are active participants in the blogosphere and other social network sites and forums on the internet.
But how many of us immerse into and follow the ethics, etiquette and definite accountability associated with writing?
How many of us realize the reach that our writing would have and that we will be answerable for the same on the day of judgment?
Al-Qa'nabi once found his teacher Imam Malik crying profusely, so he is asked him the reason for the weeping.
Imam Malik responded: "Who is more worthy of crying than me. I do not speak a word except that it Read more ...
How the Quran Justifies Itself
In a previous posting about Islam’s rational monotheism (which may be read here), we saw how the Qur’an espouses a universal rationalist discourse to substantiate some of its main theological doctrines. As for how the Qur’an vindicates itself, and rationalises its claim of truly being the Word of God, it deploys the following line of argument:
Firstly, it states that the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, was an unlettered Prophet [7:157]; that is, he was unable to read or write, and most certainly uneducated in the modern sense of the word: And you did not used to recite any book before this, and nor did you write it with your right hand. For Read more ...
What to do at time of Earthquake or other Calamity?
"What must be done at the time of an earthquake or other calamity, or an eclipse, strong wind or flood is to repent to Allah, may He be glorified, and to beseech Him and ask Him for well-being, and to remember Him a great deal and ask Him for forgiveness, as the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said at the time of an eclipse:
“When you see that, then turn to remembrance of Allah and call upon Him and ask for His forgiveness.”
It is also mustahabb to show compassion to the poor and needy, and to give charity to them, because the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said:
“Those who show mercy will be shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Show Read more ...
Islam’s Rational Monotheism
Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad explains: ‘In the Western milieu, converts to Islam claim that they are attracted to what they regard as its clear, rationally-accessible teachings, unobscured by elaborate mysteries. It is not only insiders who wish to take this view. Non-Muslim academic accounts... now frequently draw attention to the central role of reason in Islamic theology.’ 1
He quotes Leaman in his The Qur’an: An Encyclopedia, saying: ‘The Qur’an does indeed display an unusual commitment to argument and logic in its self-explanation.’ 2
Earlier in the same volume, Leaman says that whereas Judaism is strongly linked with ethnicity, and Christianity Read more ...
We are “obliged” to spread the message of Allah
One crime for which Bani Israel was repeatedly criticized and cursed was "altering the words of Allah" and "concealing knowledge". They were people of knowledge, but they "chose" to hide that which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had revealed towards them.
In Surah al-Baqarah ayah 159, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says:
"Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse."
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, His angels and His entire creation curses those who hide the commands of Allah. This ayah doesn't end at Bani Israel. It can be Read more ...
