THE FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON)

THE DELIGHT OF THE HEART
By Shaykh Sa‘ud bin Ibrahim bin Muhammed Al-Shareem Imaam and Khateeb of Al-Masjid Al-Haram
Translated by Yahya Ibrahim
---------------------------
I advise you and I to have Taqwa Allah; it is the provision that will be most beneficial on the final Day.

Allah (SW) says Ordering his Prophet (saaw): “Recite (O Muhammed) what has been revealed to you of the Book (Quran), and perform as-Salah. Verily, as-Salah (prayer) prevents from al-Fahsha’ (great sins of every kind) and al-Munkar (disbelief, and every wicked deed). And the Remembering (praising) of (you by) Allah (in front of the angels) is greater indeed [than your remembering (praising) Allah in prayers]. And Allah knows what you do.” Al-‘Ankabut 29:45

He (SW) also said: “I (Muhammed) have been commanded only to worship the Lord of this city (Makkah), Him Who has sanctified it and His is everything. And I am commanded to be from among the Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam). And to recite the Quran.” An-Naml 27:91,92

Allah (SW) said: “Nay, but they, the clear Ayat [the description and the qualities of Prophet Muhammed (saaw) written like verses in the Torah and the Gospel] are preserved in the breasts of those who are have been given knowledge (from the people of the Scriptures). And none but the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers…) deny Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons and signs).” Al-‘Ankabut 29:49

He (SW) also said: “And we have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and be remembered, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?” Al-Qamar 54:17

Allah revealed the Quran, a beacon of light that cannot be extinguished. A methodology and way of life that is perfect in all respect. In it is strength that cannot be equaled or repelled. It is the foundation of Iman and the spring of knowledge. Allah ruled that the Quran be what quenches the thirst for knowledge. It is the delight of the people of wisdom. The Quran is the greatest cure for all ailments. The Quran is Allah’s Rope that cannot be severed. It is the Wise reminder and the truly straight path. In the Quran are the parables of those who were before us, a prophesy of that which will be after us and a criterion to judge between us. It is Truth with certainty that was revealed to us. The one who lives according to its dictation will be rewarded. The one who judges according to it will be just. The one who calls to it is o­n the straight path. Allah raises and lowers people with it.

The Quran, on the Day of Judgment, will intercede on behalf of its reciters. Rasool ul Allah (saaw) said: “The one who reads a single letter from the Book of Allah will be rewarded with one Hasana (good deed). (Know that) A good deed is multiplied ten times over. I do not say Alif Lam Meem is one letter. Verily, Alif is one letter, Lam is one letter, Meem is one letter.” Reported by at-Tirmithi and it is Sahih.

O Muslims!

The Book of Allah to humankind’s guidance is like the soul to the body. Therefore, he who abandons its recitation and does not act in accordance to its laws is in a state of spiritual death. Allah (SW) says: “Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and disbelief) and We gave him life (by Knowledge and Faith) and set for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men, like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can never come out?” Al-An‘am 6:122

 
DUA/PRAYER

ALLAHUMMA INNY ASTAGHFIRUKA MIN KULLI THAMBIN WA ATOOBU ILAYK. ?O Allah! I seek your forgiveness from every sin and I repent towards you.

BENEFIT: Whosoever makes Istighfaar excessively and regularly, Allah SWT will free him from every difficulty, relieve him from every distress, sorrow and will grant him sustenance from such places where he does not even have any hope.

A THOUGHT
BEING IN LOVE
---------------
Think back to when you met the man/woman that you just knew would be the one. Remember when you realized/admitted to yourself that you loved him/her. Now remember how much you wanted to act in public and yell to "I love (fill in the name)!" You told family and friends how perfect he/she was; he/she was just what you were looking for.

Well, I told ALLAH (SWT) that I love Him today. And He said to me, "How much do you love me? You haven't told anyone how good I've been to you. You haven't shared how perfect my love is. You haven't spread the good news that I am always there to listen to your problems. You haven't told your family how I helped you pay your bills when you didn't have a high paying job, or how I got you a better one. You haven't shared with anyone how I took away that addiction that would have cost you not only your job, but also that man/woman that was just what you were looking for. So how much do you really love me?"

So, I said I would share with my friends and family (for starters) just how wonderful, perfect, understanding, patient, loving, unselfish, considerate and forgiving ALLAH really is. He has blessed me with a family that loves me and friends that I can confide in. But even more than that, He has saved me from destruction I couldn't even see coming. He gave to me the peace of knowing Him, and He has never broken a promise. Truly He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And I stand in public today to tell to you all, "I LOVE ALLAH (S.W.T)!"
