By Sh Abdur Rahmaan As Sudays - 16 Shawaal 1434

His Eminence Sheikh Abdurrahman As-Sudais –may Allah protect him– delivered this Khutbah entitled “The Importance of Muslim Unity” in which he dealt with the schisms sneakily disrupting their otherwise unified ranks. He also mentioned that concord and unity of ranks represent the most urgent obligations at this extremely critical moment. Therefore, he appealed to both the Islamic world and the international community to remedy for the sufferings inflicted on Muslims in Syria and elsewhere in the Muslim World and to support them in a unified front so that they can cross to a safe haven.

Praise is exclusively due to Allah! We praise Him, ask His pardon, and return unto Him in repentance. O Allah, it is to You that we address our praise voiced through our expressions of gratitude and glorification which befit Your Majestic Existence!

(The Sheikh cites two lines of poetry):

Praise is sent to you in succession,
Incessantly and devotedly offered to the Lord of the Worlds.
Gratitude is unremittingly extended to You infinitely,
Regardless of occasion or time.

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship save Allah alone without associate, a testimony whereby we seek to attain lucidity in identifying truth and holding fast to it. I equally bear witness that our Master and Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) is Allah’s Servant and Messenger, who has been sent as grace and peace to the whole universe fragranced with his Message which spreads love and harmony. O Allah, send Your Salat (Graces, Honours, Mercy) and Blessing onto him, onto his family who valiantly pioneered the pursuit of truth, his blessed Companions (?) who persevered despite fits of prevailing misguidance, the tabi'în (the contemporaries of the Companions of the Prophet [Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam] after his death), and all those who have righteously followed their footsteps, seeking to be granted by Allah, the Compassionate, high status and blissful residence in Paradise. May Allah’s bountiful Salat and Grace be unceasingly bestowed on them all till Doomsday! read more

A patron at a restaurant was continually bothering the waiter about the air conditioning: first he would ask for the air conditioning to be turned up because it was too hot, then he would ask it be turned down because it was to cold, this went on for about a half an hour.

To the surprise of the rest of the customers, the waiter was very patient, walking aback and forth and very pleasant.

So finally a customer asked; why don’t you just throw out the pest?

“Oh, I don’t care,” said the waiter with a grin, we don’t even have an air conditioner.”
