| THE FRIDAY KHUTBAH (SERMON) |
BENEFICIAL
LESSONS DERIVED FROM THE HIJRAH
By Ali Al-Hudhayfi (Imaam of Haram)
---------------------------------
All praise is due to Allaah, the Subduer. I testify that there
is nothing worthy of worship except Allaah and I testify that
Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
Fellow Muslims! Fear Allaah as He should be feared so that
you will prosper in this world and the Hereafter.
Fellow Muslims! The aspiration of lofty goals and the fulfilment
of one's religious obligations require a great deal of time,
effort and wealth. One’s very life may even be at stake during
the course of fulfilling these great objectives in addition
to the loss of friends, the gaining of enemies, the exposition
of oneself to ridicule and the vulnerability of having few
helpers and protectors. This in fact was exactly the situation
of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam during his propagation
of Islam.
Allaah sent Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam to mankind
at the time when they were most in need of his message. The
People of the Book (i.e. the Jews and Christians) had by then
altered their books and the whole world was in the total darkness
of polytheism and ignorance. It was at this time that Allaah
chose to send His slave Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam
to mankind.
The Almighty says that which translates as: "Say [O Muhammad],
‘O Mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allaah to you all,
[from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and
the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and
causes death.’” (Al-A'raaf: 158).
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam was sent at a time
when people were worshipping unworthy objects such as trees,
stones, the moon, angels, Jinns, the prophet 'Iesaa (or Jesus,
peace be upon him) etc. He sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam found
them supplicating to these deities, seeking assistance and
refuge with them, beseeching them for benefits, slaughtering
for them, vowing to them, and taking them as intermediaries
to Allaah. He sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam also found them
consulting fortune-tellers and sorcerers, spreading immorality,
mistreating neighbours, severing bonds of kinship, earning
money from dubious means, practicing interest-based transactions
and usurping other people's properties. This was in addition
to all the other well-known evils that were prevalent in that
society. Their religion, customs and traditions were purely
based on personal interests and material considerations. read

DEBTS
It is reported of 'Ali bin 'Abi Tãlib that someone who was
indebted came to him and said: I am unable to pay my debt
so help me. He said: Shall I not teach you a few words the
Messenger of Allah taught me, if you had the like of a mountain
(Seerin) of debt Allah would fulfil it on your behalf? Say:
'Allãhumma
kfinee bihalãlika `an harãmika, wa 'aghninee bifadhlika `
amman siwãka.. O' my 'ilãh make me with what You have made
lawful needless of what You have made unlawful, and make me
with your benevolence independent of all others. And he would
say: Your forefather (speaking to the two) used to solicit
protection for Isma`eel and Ishãq with this supplication. |

Indonesia's
attorneys are expected to announce an execution date for the
three men convicted of carrying out the 2002 Bali night club
bombings. Amrozi Nurhasyim, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra have
exhausted all appeals and will be executed by firing squad.
A date for the sentence to be carried out is expected to be
announced on Friday.
At
least two journalists have been killed in a bomb blast in
Zagreb, the Croatian capital. The explosion was outside the
offices of a weekly newspaper in the centre of the city on
Thursday. Police declined to give more details on the incident,
the latest in a wave of violence that has gripped the Croatian
capital this year.
Turkey's
constitutional court has ruled that key members of the ruling
AK Party, including Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister,
have been involved in anti-secular activities. Friday's ruling
was related to a case which sought to ban the party on charges
it was seeking to throw out the country's secular system,
in favour of an Islamist regime.
The
Congress of SA Trade Unions today applauded Parliament for
responding to the "voice of the majority" and quickly
passing the ANC's resolution to have the Scorpions disbanded.
The Directorate of Special Operations (DSO or Scorpions) had
become "a separate elite force which was not subject
to adequate public accountability and became a law unto themselves",
said spokesperson Patrick Craven.
The
18-year-old boy accused of stabbing a fellow pupil and three
other people with a sword s due back in the Krugersdorp Magistrates
Court. This comes after extended psychiatric evaluation at
Sterkfontein Hospital. The case was postponed for a second
time last month, after psychiatrists requested more time to
evaluate Morne Harmse.

| A THOUGHT |
PLEASURES
SEEM SWEET
----------------------------
Just so the pleasures of the world seem sweet till they are
tried, and then they are found to be very bitter and repulsive.
The Prophet Sallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam has declared that "Patience
is the key of joy." in other words, that he who controls
and restrains himself from grasping at worldly pleasures will
find true happiness. But this precept makes no lasting impression
on the bulk of humankind. When bitter experience overtakes
them, as the pain of burning afflicts children, or moths sporting
with fire, or the pain of amputation [of a] a thief, they
curse the delusive temptations which brought this pain upon
them. But no sooner is the pain abated, then they run after
the same pleasures as eagerly as ever.
This leads the poet again to dwell on his favourite theme
of the sole agency of Allah.
Then,
to supply the necessary corrective of this doctrine, another
anecdote is told concerning Mahmud and Ayaz. The courtiers
grumbled because Ayaz received the stipend of thirty courtiers,
and Mahmud, by a practical test, convinced them that the talents
of Ayaz equalled those of thirty men. The courtiers replied
that this was due to Allah's grace, not to any merit on the
part of Ayaz. And the king confuted them by pointing out that
man's responsibility and merit, or demerit, for his actions
are recognized in the Quran. Iblis was condemned for saying
to Allah, "Thou hast caused me to err," and Adam
was commended or saying, "We have blackened ourselves."
And elsewhere it is said, "Whosoever shall have wrought
an atom's weight of good shall behold it. And whoso[ever]
shall have wrought an atom's weight of evil shall behold it."
