 إن الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونؤمن به ونتركّل عليه ونعوذ بالله من سرور نفسنا ومن سيئ في عمالنا من يهجه الله فلا مبلله ومن يبلل فلا هادي له ونشد الله إلا الله هوحده لا شريك له ونشد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله أصله بالهداوة من الحق ليغيره عليه من كله ولو كاله الكافرون يا يهلدين آمنوا تقول الله حق تقاته ولا تموتن إلا وإنت المسلمون يا يهلدين آمنوا تقول الله وقولوا قولا سليده يفلح لكم أعمالكم ويوثل لكم دونوككم ومن يفعل الله ورسوله فقد فاز فاوزا عظيما أما about we began with the thanks and the praises of Allah سبحانه وتعالى He has allowed us to come here on this beautiful day of Jama'at and this is a very special occasion because we are gathering in a community setting in a time where this is not the norm anymore So Allah سبحانه وتعالى has allowed us to come here and see one another in worship He has allowed us to come here and allow our hearts to connect to one another so that all of us together in one form can worship Him سبحانه وتعالى And the way that Islam is described is this extreme monotheistic faith where extremists when it comes to monotheism in the oneness of Allah that He is one in His essence and His attributes and His actions and His ruins And so this oneness that we ascribe to Allah سبحانه وتعالى this is a oneness that we try to bring into this world and see everything as one And so our worship also needs to be seen not as Abdullah أفضل عمر قرain Rather it's one congregation praying to one Allah And so each and every heart here should be aware and cognizant of the heart that is next to Him or Her behind or in front of Him or Her and recognize that each heart its state its presence its purity is going to affect this congregation And so with that we orient our hearts to Allah سبحانه وتعالى so that we are not that one person who is preventing the rain to fall down upon us as is what happened with the people of Musa Aayah So we want to orient ourselves to Allah سبحانه وتعالى in this moment And we want to orient ourselves to Allah سبحانه وتعالى in every single moment of our lives In the first khutba I talked about the terbiyah that's necessary for a parent to give their child InshaAllah in this khutba I wish to talk about the terbiyah that one should go about for themselves If one wants to engage in becoming a better person A better slave to Allah سبحانه وتعالى A person who is worshiping Allah سبحانه وتعالى in the purest form A person who loves the Prophet ﷺ in a good way In a righteous way Then this person needs to not only receive terbiyah from others like our parents and our teachers But also the person must engage in training themselves And rectifying themselves And so one method that is used for this There are many of course but one method that is used for this Is in the absence of a teacher In the absence of a good companionship So one doesn't have the ability to go to a teacher One doesn't have the ability to surround themselves with righteous friends What is this person supposed to do in this situation? Many of us might find ourselves in this situation these days When we're disconnected with the community We're not able to participate in the organizations and in the massages We're not able to see our friends at school What is someone supposed to do in this situation? The suggestion for this person is that they're supposed to look at The ills of society that they live in And remove those ills from their hearts So they look to the society that they live in What are the things that the evil people are doing in this society? What are the things that my religion does not allow in this society? What are the things that are hated to Allah SWT And his messenger SWT in this society? And remove those things from one's own heart? And then look to the things that Allah SWT And his messenger SWT would find beloved? And take those qualities and bring them into our heart An example of this is someone who wants to spread religious knowledge They understand the importance that we're supposed to be holding firm Onto the teachings of Allah SWT and his messenger SWT Yet in order to instill these values into others They engage in useless debates Argumentation with other people Unfortunately that useless argumentation and frustration That takes place in these debates That's meaningless is one of the ills of our society right now So there should be another path that this individual takes In order to instill these good qualities in their families and their friends And so what's another ills of society that we see today We see that people are forgetting this concept of تقليف That we have been burdened by Allah SWT If I can use that translation We have been burdened with a responsibility A responsibility that requires us to overcome the discomforts of this world So that we can engage in righteous activity So that we can overcome the deficiencies that we face So that we can become better people So that we can act towards good So that we can worship Allah properly So that we can follow the Quran and the Sunnah But what is common in society now Is that people are removing this concept of تقليف That I no longer have control of myself I no longer have control of my emotions I no longer have control over the trials and tribulations I face I am no longer in control of the difficulties that afflict me So now people are struggling with types of illnesses that either happen They say it's mentally, they say it's physically They say it's societal illness They say it's intellectual illness Whatever illness it is Whether it's valid or not It is being used as an excuse to remove a person From asking and overcoming the trial that they are facing So it is our responsibility to not allow things that affect us in a negative way To be an excuse for us to turn away from our religious obligations And what are our religious obligations First and foremost No trial and tribulation could ever take us away from the worship of Allah SWT No trial or tribulation in whatever sense Should ever take us away from following the Sunnah of the Habib SWT These things come at the utmost importance for us in our lives as Muslims قل إن كنتم تحبون الله If you claim to love Allah فتبعوني Follow me meaning the Messenger SWT يحببكم الله I claim to this religion I claim to Islam is not an empty claim We must hold firm to the Sunnah of the Habib SWT What are our other religious obligations To be kind to our parents To be merciful to our children To treat each other with respect To not discount someone's honor based off of hearsay Rather to uphold one another's honor Based off of the fact that this person is a Muslim So that we hold each other high in one another's sights No person should ever leave Thinking that they were better than someone else in the gathering of Muslims When you see your fellow Muslim brother and sister Just view them in a light That you see them as higher than you Because this will inspire you to greater good But if we are complacent and we say No, I am better than this person Errogance will build in our hearts And we will be doomed in this life and in the year after So this is a struggle that we face We must overcome in this world Not allow anything to be an excuse Nothing to be an excuse For us to defile our religious obligations Our wish to Allah Our following of Muhammad SWT And of upholding the honor of our fellow Muslim brother and sister We ask Allah SWT for ease in going about these actions We ask Him for sincerity in our actions We ask Him for the ability To continuously remind ourselves That we are one Ummah Seeing one of my Muslim brothers and sisters Being harmed And their honor being taken away Is my honor being taken away So we ask Allah SWT to show us truth as truth Allahumma أرِن الحق حق ورزقنا اتبعه and allow us to follow it And to allow us to see falsehood as falsehood Allahumma أرِن بافل بافل And to allow us to stay away from it ورزقنا اجتنابه So we ask Allah SWT for this And we ask Him for ease in these difficult times And we ask Him to allow time to be a means for us To return to Him Three of sin filled with mercy filled with hope and love أستغفر الله لي ولكم ولسائد المسلمين فاستغفروه إنه هو الغطور الرحيم
