THE FRIDAY SERMON

How to handle a crisis

By Husayn ibn 'Abdul 'Aziz Aal Sheikh - [Imaam of Haram]

Our Ummah is now undergoing great crises whose causes and sources are many. They are crises in matters that relate to our religion, politics, policies, economies and social being. Others are crises that affect our children, honour and lives. They are crises in which awful things are portrayed as beautiful and beautiful things are portrayed as unpleasant. These are crises in which falsehood is adorned and promoted and an attempt is made to wipe out the truth and make it frightening. Crises that seek to destroy and cause disturbances. These crises are being spread through many means that include destructive ideologies, misleading precepts and false propaganda. These are crises that manifest in attacking Islaam and casting doubts at it.

Brethren in faith! The Messenger of Allaah has informed us about a crisis in matters of religion and worldly affairs. As for the crisis in matters of religion, it is anything that blocks the way to belief in Allaah, abiding by His commandments and following the guidance of His Messenger like false and destructive creeds, corrupt behaviour and blocking the way to remembrance of Allaah and carrying out religious obligations. As for the trial in worldly affairs, it is killings, fear and usurpation of people's properties that happen.

The Messenger of Allaah said, 'Times will move closer to one another, the deeds will become fewer, greed will become rampant and trials will appear.'

Fellow Muslims! The danger of trials affects all if it is not attended to in the light of Islaamic teachings.

Allaah warns against trials and their evil effects when He says, 'And fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who do wrong.' (Al-Anfaal 8:25)

Ibn Katheer said in his explanation to this verse: 'Though this verse was primarily addressed to the companions, other Muslims are also included. For the Messenger of Allaah had always warned against crises.'

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said to 'Asma' binti 'Umaysin Radiyallahu Anhaa: "Shall I not teach you a few words which you can say when you are distressed - or at the time of distress -

"Allahu, 'allahu rabbee la 'ushriku bihi shay'an."

Allah, Allah my Rabb I associate not with Him a thing.

THE SMILE

While cruising at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered and Mr. Benson looked out the window. "Oh my word!" he screamed, "one of the engines just blew up!"

Other passengers left their seats and came running over; suddenly the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on the other side. The passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't maintain order. Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor made most of the passengers feel better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed several packages from under the seats and began handing them to the flight attendants. Each crew member attached the package to their backs.

"Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "aren't those parachutes?" The pilot said they were. The passenger went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing to worry about?"

"There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded...

"We're going to get help."
