THE FRIDAY SERMON
 

Joining the Ties of Kinship

by Imâm al-Madîna al-Munawarrah 'Alî Abd-ur-Rahmân al-Hudhaifî

All praise is due to Allâh, Lord of all the worlds. Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his household and companions. Fellow Muslims! Fear Allâh and be dutiful to Him. Return rights to their due owners, Allâh will give you great reward and will save you from painful torments.

Dear brethren! Know that your Lord, out of His mercy, explains everything to you in His Book. His Messenger Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him, has also guided you to the right path that will lead you to Paradise, save you from Hell and make you attain the happiness of this world. He explained to you the rights of Allâh upon His slaves, for the rights of Allâh upon us are the greatest of those things that He has made obligatory for us. However, Allâh requests us to perform only those things that we are able to. It is Allâh's right upon us that He should be remembered and not be forgotten, obeyed and not disobeyed, and thanked for all His favours. This will make our life peaceful and blessed, under the shadow of His mercy, free from afflictions. Our life will be full of cooperation and love.

Allâh also explains for us the rights of the parents, the rights of the kith and kin and the obligations of the relatives to one another. Each person will be held accountable on this in this world and the Hereafter. If one fulfils these rights one will attain great degrees with Allâh. If one fails to fulfil these rights one will earn the wrath of Allâh. Brethren in faith! Joining the tie of kinship is one of the greatest responsibilities of man. The kith and kin are the ones with whom one has blood or marriage relationship. Allâh emphasises the importance of the kith and kin in many places in His Book. He says,

"And give to the kindred his due and to the poor and to the wayfarer. But spend not wastefully (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift." (Al-Isrâ 17:26)

Allâh mentions joining the tie of kinship after He mentions the fear of Him. He says, "Fear Allâh through Whom you demand (your mutual rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allâh is Ever an All-Watcher over you." (An-Nisâ 4:1) read more

 
DUA (PRAYER)
 
WHEN YOU HAVE A DREAM
--------------------------
Abu Salamata bin Abdurrahmãn RA said: I heard Qatãda the son of Rib'iy say: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Ru'yã (dream) is from Allah, and Hulm is from the Shaytan, so if one of you sees something he hates, let him spittle (light blow) to his left three times when he awakens, and let him seek protection in Allah from its evil, for, Allah willing, it will not harm him." [MUSLIM]

Abu Salamata said: I used to consider a Ru'yã heavier upon me than a mountain, then when I heard this Hadith, I became dis-concerned, and in one narration "He said: I used to see Ru'yãs (Dreams) as cause for concern, until I heard Aba Qatãda say: I used to see Ru'yãs and they would make me sick, until I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "The good Ru'ya is from Allah, so if one of you sees what he likes, then he should not tell anyone about it except those whom he loves, and if he sees something he hates, then he should tell no one of it, and he should spittle (light blow) to his left three times, and solicit Allah's protection (recite Ta'awuz, ie a'oothu billahi minash shaytan ar rajeem) from the despicable Shaytan from the evil of what he saw, for it will not harm him.

NEWS
 

Chile's newly sworn-in president has vowed to help rebuild the earthquake-devastated country.

The US vice-president has urged Israelis and Palestinians to engage in negotiations without delay despite outrage and embarrassment over Israel's announcement of plans to build 1,600 new settler homes.

Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, has been locked in a tight contest with ex-premier Iyad Allawi to win the post of prime minister as initial results from four of the country's 18 provinces show each of them is leading in two provinces.

The Congress of South African Trade Unions says it was "shocked and disgusted" that Eskom has secret deals with 138 big companies that pay dirt-cheap prices for electricity.

A confrontation is looming between authorities in Cape Town and the south African police because officials didn't want to arrest Jackson Mthembufor drunk driving.

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen deur S'aad Bekker:

"Alle lof kom Allah toe: Allah het vir ons 'n deur oopgemaak vir Dawahdebat in Afrikaans. Die Christene het 'n ruk terug 'n Internet Forum begin waar Christene, Ateiste, Moslems, Boediste en alle gelowe enige onderwerp kan kom debatteer. Ek het dit so 'n week gelede ontdek en asseblief ek het jou hulp daar dringend nodig. Tans is ek besig om die vrae: "Wat glo Moslems nou eintlik regtig..." te antwoord en te debatteer asook: "Moslems glo:..." en een of twee ander. Ek kan nie "Evolusie" en sulke onderwerpe vanuit Moslemoogpunt debatteer nie. Dit is ook waarvoor ons jou daar nodig het. Soos Allah wil 'n wonderlike Dawah geleentheid!

Ek benodig bystand deur die privaat boodskapstelsel daar, as ek fouteer. Of neem deel as jy 'n bydrae kan maak of neem deel aan ander onderwerpe. Jy sal egter baie kalm en rustig moet bly want sommige deelnemers vloek en skreeu en raas en blaas: veral die Ongelowiges: dis egter gewoonlik die ouens wat Islam beveg wat goeie Moslems word, soos Allah wil. Dit is by: http://www.kletskerk.co.za/search.php?search_id=active_topics Allah lof kom Allah toe.

'You should be ashamed,' the father told his son, Andy,
'When Abraham Lincoln was your age, he used to walk ten miles every day to get to school.'
'Really?' Andy responded.
'Well, when he was your age, he was president.'
