THE FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON)

REPENTANCE
By Shaykh 'Alee Ibn Abdur Rahman Al Hudhayfee - Imam of Haram
--------------------------------------------------------------
All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of all the worlds. May peace and blessings of Allaah be upon the Prophet, his household and companions.

Fellow Muslims! Fear Allaah as He should be feared. Fear of Allaah is the protection against the torment of the Hereafter. Know that Allaah created humans as fallible beings; hence He multiplies the reward for any righteous deeds and records for them a single demerit for any misdeed they commit. Allaah says,

“Whoever brings a good deed shall have ten times the like thereof to his credit, and whoever brings an evil deed shall have only the recompense of the like thereof, and they will not be wronged.” (Al-An‘aam 6:160)

The Messenger of Allaah said, “Allah ordered (the appointed angels over you) that the good and the bad deeds be written. He then showed (the way) how (to write). If somebody intends to do a good deed and he does not do it, then Allah will write for him a full good deed (in his account with Him); and if he intends to do a good deed and actually did it, then Allah will write for him (in his account) with Him (its reward equal) from ten to seven hundred times to many more times: and if somebody intended to do a bad deed and he does not do it, then Allah will write a full good deed (in his account) with Him, and if he intended to do it (a bad deed) and actually did it, then Allah will write one bad deed (in his account).” (Al-Bukhaaree)

Allaah ordains various ways by which one can earn great rewards. The Messenger of Allaah said, “Observing five daily prayers, performing Jumu‘ah prayers one after another and observing fasting in Ramadaan every year removes the sins committed in-between as long as the major sins are avoided.” (Muslim)

The Messenger of Allaah also said, “Faith consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And modesty is a part of faith.” (Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim)

He said, “Do not disdain any good deed even if it is to meet your brother with a smiling face.” (Muslim)

He also said, “Allaah loves that His when a servant of His eats or drinks that he should thank Him for that.” (Muslim) read more

 
DUA/PRAYER
Rabbanaa hab lanaa min azwaajinaa wa thurriyyaatina qurrata a'ayuniw waj alnaa muslimayni laka waj alnaa lil muttaqeena imaama. O Lord! Grant us such spouses and children as may be a scource of coolness to our eyes and make us leaders of Allah fearing persons.

Benefit: This Dua is for the attainment of piety for ones family and high-ranking state of piety for oneself.

2 ½ cups all bran flakes - 1 cup sour milk - ¾ cup sugar – brown or white - 1 tsp baking powder - 500g self raising flour - 250gr butter - 1 egg beaten - 1 tsp salt.

COOKING TIP
Avocado touch test - To test whether an avocado is ripe, flick off the small stalk at the end. If it comes off easily, the fruit is ripe. Alternatively, cradle the avocado in the palm of your hand and apply gentle pressure to the stem end. If the avocado yields to slight pressure, it is ripe and ready to eat.

A THOUGHT

LEADERSHIP BY CALLING TO ALLAAH
-------------------------------------
Just as He (Allah), free from all imperfections, has linked leadership in the religion with patience and certainty, the Aayah’ also contains two further principles:
(i) The first: Calling to Allaah and to the guidance of His creation.
(ii) The second: Guiding them with what He has commanded, upon the tongue of His Messenger, not what is demanded by their intellects, opinions, political manoeuvres, tastes and the following of their predecessors, without any proof from Allaah. Because He said: "...giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient..." [Soorah as-Sajdah (32):24].
