By Sheikh Saud Al-Shureem - 17 Jumaadal Ulaa 1434

His eminence, venerated Sheikh Saud Al-Shureem - may Allah protect him - delivered this Friday's Khutbah titled “Conscientiousness: its Significance and Merit.” He talked about the importance of conscientiousness and the sense of scruples in society. Then, he defined their significance and stressed their intrinsic worth. He equally outlined the three subtypes of conscientiousness and described the consequences of their absence from people’s lives.

"All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the (only) Originator [or the (Only) Creator] of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings, two or three or four… " [Fater: 1]; "The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment, the Bestower (of favours). Lâ ilâha illâ Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), to Him is the final return." [Ghafer: 3]; "all praises and thanks be to Him (both) in the first (i.e. in this world) and in the last (i.e. in the Hereafter). And for Him is the Decision, and to Him shall you (all) be returned." [Al-Oašaš: 70]

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah with no associate, and I also bear witness that Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) is Allah’s Servant and Messenger, portrayed in the Holy Quran as "…the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), who believes in Allâh and His Words [(this Qur’ân), the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and also Allâh’s Word: "Be!" - and he was, i.e. ‘Îsâ (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), ?????? ??????]…" [Al-Arâf: 158]. May Allah send His bounteous Salat (i.e. Graces, Honours, and Mercy) and Peace on him, his chaste and virtuous family, wives (mothers of the believers), Companions, and the tab'în (the contemporaries of the Companions of the Prophet [Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam] after his death), and on all those who have virtuously embraced their tradition till the Day of Judgement.

O Servants of Allah! Observe Taqwa (i.e. fear of violating Allah’s commands) and bear in mind that the Herein is but an ephemeral form of life rather than a locus of eternal residence. Allah has made you trustees of its resources to test your conduct: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allâh and fears Him" "And believes in Al-Husnâ " "We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness)" [Al-Layl: 5-7]

O Muslims! The world nowadays is experiencing a most sophisticated era of technical advancement and ultra-modern information technology. It is witnessing a state of euphoria stimulated by successive innovations and inventions in all walks of life. No sooner do people get familiar with an original novelty through scrutinising its structure and function than another equally ingenious innovation bewilders them to the extent that they forget about the previous one. read more

A little girl asked her mother for a dollar to give to an old lady in a wheelchair in the park. Her mother was touched by what she viewed as her child’s kindness, and gave her the dollar. “There you are, my dear, “said the mom. “I guess the lady isn’t able to work anymore”.

“She works,” came the child’s innocent reply. “She sells candy.”
