THE FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON)

REFLECT on OTHER CREATURE's WORSHIP
Shaykh Saud Ash-Shuraym - Imaam of Haram
-------------------------------------------
Fellow Muslims! The Almighty Creator created this universe with His knowledge and wisdom and created in it all that exists of the angels, men, jinn, animals, plants and other things which none but He knows. He created all these for a single purpose that all acts of worship should be solely His, that all these beings should affirm His Lordship and actualise all acts of worship for Him alone; and that they should admit their helpless, submission and their need for Him alone. Hence, the actualisation of worship for Allaah alone cannot be properly achieved except by obeying Him and standing firm on the right path that the religion may be Allaah's, that judgement may be His and that all calls may be to Him. This duty can be carried out only by those whom Allaah has made successors in and inhabitants of the earth and that cannot be achieved by man except through words of the tongue, deeds of the heart and the limbs. Also, real act of worship cannot be actualized in the best form except by completely and absolutely surrendering and submitting to Allaah with utmost love for Him. Therefore, the best man in actualizing worship to Allaah is the best in submission and surrender to Him. Worship in essence, is the religion and the only acceptable religion before Allaah is Islaam.

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islaam, never will it be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the losers." (Aal 'Imraan 3:85)

This is the purpose of creating the creation. Allaah also says, "And I created not the jinn and mankind except that they may worship me." (Adh-Dhaariyaat 51:56)

He also says, "Did you think that We created you in play (without any purpose) and that you would not be brought back to Us?" (Al-Mu'minoon 23:115)

He says, while rebuking a group of mankind who were heedless of the lessons inherent in the universe around them, "And how many a sign in the heaven and the earth they pass by, while they are averse thereof. And most of them believe not in Allaah except that they attribute partners unto Him." (Yoosuf 12:105-106)

Subhaanallaah! Do they not see the illuminating stars, and the revolving orbits which all are subjected to the Command of Allaah? How many are adjacent places, gardens, mountains, seas and waves that are on the earth, yet they ascribe daughters to Allaah and worship others beside Him. Glory be to the One God Who created all the creations. read more

DUA/PRAYER

WHEN SHOPPING

BISMILLAH ALLAHUMMA INNY ASALUKA KHAYRA HAATHAS SOOQ WA KHAYRA MAA FEEHAA WA AOOTHUBIKA MIN SHARRIHAA WA SHARRI MAA FEEHAA. ALLAHUMMA INNY AOOTHUBIKA MIN AN USEEBA FEEHAA YAMEENAN FAAJIRAH AW SAFQATAN KHAUSIRAH.

In the name of Allah, O Allah I seek thee for the goodness of this shopping centre and for the goodness of that which is in it and I seek protection with thee from its evil and the evil that is in it. O Allah! I seek Thy protection from taking a false oath in it or making a transaction which will be a cause of loss.

RECIPE

MOROCCAN LAMB
-----------------
1 tsp cayenne pepper - 2 tsp ground black pepper - 1 ½ tsp paprika - 1 ½ tsp ground ginger - 1 tsp turmeric - 2 tsp ground cinnamon - 1 shoulder lamb, trimmed and cut into 5cm chunks - 2 large onions grated - 3 tbsp olive oil - 3 cloves of garlic crushed - 570ml tomato juice - 2x 400g tins chopped tomatoes - 115g dried apricots, cut in ½ - 55g dates cut in ½ - 55g sultanas or raisins - 85g flaked almonds - 1 tsp saffron soaked in cold water - 600ml veg stock - 1 tbsp honey - 2 tbsp coriander roughly chopped - 2 tsbp flat leaf parsley roughly chopped.

Pre-heat the oven...

Place the cayenne black pepper paprika ginger garlic turmeric and cinnamon into a small bow land mix. Place the lamb in a large bowl and toss together with half of the spice mix. Cover and leave over night in the fridge.

Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large casserole dish. Add the grated onion and the remaining spice mix and cook over a gentle heat for about 10 minutes so that the onions are soft but not brown. Add the crushed garlic for the final 3 minutes.

In a separate frying pan, heat the remaining oil and brown the cubes of lamb. Place the browned meat in the casserole dish. De glaze the frying pan with 140ml of tomato juice and add theses juices to the pan.

Add the remaining tomato juice, chopped tomatoes, apricot dates, raisins or sultanas flaked almonds saffron stock and honey to the casserole dish. Bring to boil cover with a fitted lid place in the oven and cook for 2 or 2 ½ hours or until the meat is meltingly tender.

Place the lamb in a large serving dish and sprinkle the chopped herbs over it.

COOKING TIP

If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato. It absorbs the excess salt for an instant "fix me up."
