By Sheikh Ali ibn Abdur-Rahman Al-Hudhaifi - 14 Thul Qadah 1434

His Eminence Sheikh Ali ibn Abdur-Rahman Al-Hudhaifi, may Allah preserve him, delivered the Friday sermon entitled, “The Virtue of Maintaining the Ties of Kinship”, in which he talked about the servants’ duties towards their Lord and towards one another, one of which is the duty of maintaining the ties of kinship. He explained that the obligations a Muslim has towards his relatives include maintaining good ties with them, treating them with kindness, visiting them, consoling them in times of hardship, and sharing their joys and sorrows. Then he reminded the audience of Paradise and Hellfire, and warned them against neglecting Allah’s orders and committing prohibited acts, which would result in ultimate loss in this life and in the Hereafter.

Praise be to Allah, Who has created man from water and has appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage, and your Lord is Ever All-Powerful to do what He wills, and Who has created ties and relationships among people and enjoined them to maintain them. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, Who has no partner. Our Lord has no rival or peer, and He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. I also bear witness that our prophet and master Muhammad is His servant and messenger, whom He has sent as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner, who called people to Allah by His leave and as a lamp spreading light. O Allah! Bestow Your bountiful prayers, peace, and blessings upon Your servant and messenger Muhammad and upon his Household and Companions.

O Muslims!
Fear Allah and give rights to those entitled to them, so that Allah may grant you a great reward and protect you from severe punishment. read more

The Messenger of Allah has said: "The Wind is of the Mercy of Allah. It brings mercy, and it brings torture. So when you see it, do not curse it, and ask Allah for its good, and solicit Allah's protection from its evil." [ABU DAWOOD]

Recite: ALLAHUMMA IJ'ALHAA RAHMATAN WA LAA TAJ'ALHAA ATHAABAN

"O Allah! let it be a mercy and not a punishment."

(Mishkat)

If there is darkness with the heavy wind, then recite Surah Falaq and Surah Naas. (Mishkat)

The days of Jaahiliyya or Ignorance, as Sh Ibrahim explains, was a result of people’s indifference toward their Creator. They frowned at the mere mention of Almighty ALLAH’s exalted names but rejoiced when objects were praised, especially those wherefrom they assumed benefit could be derived. The essence of Prophethood was to establish a link between creation and Creator; mankind and their Maker, ALLAH Ta'aala.

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu’Alayhi Wa Sallam) taught us how to connect with our Lord. The first step towards attaining this connection is Salaah, Prayer. Salaah, as defined in Islam, nourishes; maintains; promotes and comforts mind, body and soul.
Contrary to erroneous perceptions, Salaah is an obligation, not a choice. Muhammad (Sallallahu’Alayhi Wa Sallam) emphasised thus, “Baynal Rajul Wa Baynal Kufr Tarkus Salaah – Between a man and disbelief is discarding Salaah.”

Amazingly enough, performance of Salaah can be traced to the earliest of generations beginning with the blessed Prophet Ibrahim (‘Alayhi Salaam - Peace be upon him):

“My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.” (Qur’an 14:40)

The pressures and challenges facing the Ummah (Muslim community) today are colossal. However, the remedy can be simple; establishing and holding firm to the daily Prayers together with having Tawakkul (reliance on Almighty alone). In doing so we would undoubtedly attract the Help and Mercy of Almighty, The Most-Compassionate and we would surely witness a huge change throughout the world. Listen
