THE FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON)
IMITATING THE WEST
--------------------
by Imâm al-Haramain Sa'ûd ash-Shuraim

I advise you, as well as myself, to fear Allâh in times of prosperity and misfortune, in secret and in public:
"O mankind! Worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous." (Al Baqarah: 21).

O people! When a person meditates upon the histories of past nations and populations, he will be instantly amazed at the revolutions and transformations they went through. For instance, there was a pioneering nation (i.e., the Muslim nation) which led the world for many centuries but then, it faltered and lost its leading role; it fell in the midst of blind imitation and followed the paths of other nations in terms of manners and beliefs. Once it was at the acme of development and reached the highest level of power and glory, but it later fell to the lowest point and was afflicted with misery. It died after it had been living, deteriorated after it was once flourishing and withered after it was blossoming. It was the nation that discovered the sources of knowledge and developed the Islamic civilization and sciences, which the West later obtained significantly, without having to exert the least of efforts. Thus it seems as if the gates towards progress had been shut off for the Muslims as they turned into artificial consumers of the Western civilization. They even began to adopt certain features of it, which were originally theirs but had been stolen away from them.

O Muslims! When a Muslim blindly imitates the West, he turns into a loyal supporter of their beliefs and customs; he is like one who tries to reform something but spoils it while he is unaware. He is just like a defeated follower, like a baby who bites and severs his mother's breast while it is in his mouth. Such a person does not know that blind copying of the West involves hidden hazards and that our rights, honour and dignity are violated by such imitation and imbecilic pride. read more

 
DUA/PRAYER
Being presented with a Gift
and when someone makes a Dua for one
--------------------------------------
Sayyadatina Aisha RA narrates: "A small goat was presented to the Messenger of Allah, he said: "Divide it out," then whenever the servant would return Sayyadatina Aisha RA would say: What did they say? She would say: They said: May Allah bestow blessings in you (Bãraka 'allãhu feekum) then Sayyadatina Aisha RA would say: And in them may Allah bestow blessings (wa feehim bãraka 'allãhu) we return upon them the same as what they said, and our reward remains for us.

THE SMILE

THE HOT SHOT
---------------
A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working.

He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?"

The man said, "Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines."
