by Imam al-Haram Husayn ibn 'Abdul 'Aziz Aal Sheikh

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his household and companions.

Brethren in Islam! The Muslim nation is now undergoing a state of weakness and disarray while the wise men among them are searching for a future that can save the nation from its despicable state. The educated elites, politicians and writers have all presented their opinions and theories. But it is time for all Muslims regardless of their classes and groups to see the reality and open their eyes to the only successful solution in the light of their established values, and fundamentals of their religion. The Muslim nation cannot find solution to its myriad of problems except through the correct understanding of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam.

Brethren in faith! Let us spend a few moments with a great legacy that emanated from the teacher of mankind while he was giving to the ummah an everlasting admonition by which its life could be fruitful and its hereafter successful. It is an admonition that should be held tenaciously to and given a total control over all our actions. It is an admonition that does not give priority to the interest of a particular people or race. It is an admonition that has emanated from him who does not speak of his own but from what is revealed to him. The admonition is a light that raises the ummah to all that is good, glory and strength.

Allah says, "O you who believe! Obey Allah and answer the Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life." (Al-Anfal 8:24)

Yes, it gives comprehensive life to individuals and societies, to souls and valued things; a life based on the power of iman that is indispensable in confronting crisis. It is a life that means a revival in all senses. It is a life that actualises happiness, peaceful and secured coexistence, blessings and progress in all aspects of life. read more
