First
Khutbah
All thanks are due to
Allaah; The One Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the true
religion to make it superior over all other religions, despite the
polytheists' hatred of it. I bear witness that there is no other
deity but Allaah. None is comparable to Him in His attributes,
qualities or actions. He is Exalted and High above all that which
the transgressors say. The seven heavens and the earth and all that
is therein glorify Him. Everything that exists glorifies him, but
you do not understand the method of their glorification. Truly He
is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.
I testify that Muhammad is the
slave of Allaah and His Messenger, the Prophet of guidance, piety,
chastity and contentment. He is the Prophet of mercy and love,
Allaah sent him as a guide, a giver of glad tidings and as a warner
to the world. Through him, Allaah steered people through to the
clear guidance. With him Allaah sealed all His revelations and
messages, perfected the best of manners and promoted all aspects of
His religion. His words guide us all to the cures of all our
ailments and stop enmity and hatred between us. He was sent the
commands from Allaah that consist of obligations and prohibitions.
He who follows him will surely succeed.
May Allaah send His peace and
blessings upon him, his righteous family and his companions who
succeeded him. They reached the highest levels of virtue and good
manners; they defended this religion and protected it from the
fabricators; they were behind their communities' strong adherence
to Islaam. They were the soldiers of guidance on the gate of
happiness, they deserved the support of Allah, Allaah will grant
them Paradise and more (the blessing of seeing His Face on the Day
of Judgment).
The best guidance is the
guidance of our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, the
best manners are his and that is why Allaah says in His book that
which translates to: "You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a
beautiful pattern (of conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah
and the Final Day, and who engages much in the praise of Allah".
[Al-Ahzaab 33:21]

Al-'Ākhira Wa Dhakara Allāha Kathīrāan
Allaah emphasized strongly on
following the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam,
and honouring it. Following it leads to prosperity, salvation, and
everything else that one could ever wish for. We ask Allaah to
grant us all prosperity in this life and the
hereafter.
Slaves of Allaah! We are
living in very difficult and painful times, filled with hardships,
agonies, and calamities. Take a look at how the enemies of Islaam
have united against us. They are never this united except when they
are conspiring against Islaam and the Muslims. We must ask
ourselves this: Why is it that they have the ability to inflict so
much harm on us? Are we not the slaves of Allaah and the followers
of His honorable Messenger? If yes then why have they gathered
against us to wipe us out?
Let us go back to the era of
the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and his Sahaabah. All of
the Sahaabah are examples for us because they all learned directly
from him sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. They sacrificed all they
could for this religion, in order for monotheism to prevail. All of
their lives were spent for the sake of Allaah, hypocrisy could
never find its way into their hearts, they never felt burdened;
they had strong faith and sound belief. They had strength which
humanity had never experienced previously. They raised the banner
of Jihaad everywhere. Among them were people like 'The master of
Shuhadaa' (martyrs)' Hamzah, the Prophet's uncle, who once struck
Abu Jahl on his face and wounded him for the sake of the Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. [1]
Another example is Khaalid Ibn
Al-Waleed, who after becoming a Muslim, participated in every
single battle that took place. Despite conquering so many different
countries from the east to the west, he died at home on his bed.
What a poignant lesson this is for all the cowards!
Abu Qataadah narrated that the
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said regarding 'Amr Ibn
Al-Jamooh: "He will enter Jannah with his limping foot" (Albani and others). [2]
Allaah says that which
translates as: "Among the Believers are men who have been true to
their Covenant with Allah: of them some have completed their vow
(to the death), and among them some (still) wait: and they have
never altered (their determination) in the least" [Al Ahzaab
33:23]

Anas Ibn-Maalik's mother's
conduct was exemplary when she refused to marry one of Quraish's
wealthiest men unless he became a Muslim.
O slaves of Allaah! I wish to
tell you something which you must remember carefully; the greatest
danger that our Ummah could ever face is when righteousness is
considered evil, and vice versa, if this happens then it is the end
of our Ummah.
O Worshipers, did morality
become depravity in the sight of people? Or are people confused
between the two? Gambling is widespread, bars are being opened up,
and theft is taking place everywhere, so much so that the people
don't feel secure. Every day we hear about new incidents of theft,
even inside the Al-Aqsaa Mosque! We suffered terribly in the month
of Ramadaan from theft. Some of our sisters who came to perform
Salaah in Al-Aqsaa where robbed! Corruption has spread in the
streets; our youth are immersed in lusts and desires without anyone
watching over them.
If somebody loses their
wealth, they can earn it back; if they lose their health, they will
eventually recover; but if one loses their faith then they are as
good as dead.
Slaves of Allaah! What is the
reason for all of this? What is the correct way out of trials and
hardships?
The answer is obvious and very
clear; we all know that it is to return to Allaah. Allaah says that
which translates as: "Indeed this Qur'aan guides to that which is
most right (or stable), and gives glad tidings to the believers who
do righteous deeds that they shall have a magnificent reward"
[Al-Israa'17:9]

path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow (other)
paths: they will scatter you about from His (great) path. This has
He instructed you so that you may become righteous" [Al- An'aam

I ask you all: which of you
would follow these divine instructions? Who truly believes in
Allaah with sincerity? Who would perform Jihaad for the sake of
Allaah and act for the welfare of Islaam? Who amongst us has a
sound and pure intention for Allaah alone?
O believers! The Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam sent the great companion Mus'ab Ibn
'Umair to Madeenah in order to educate the enemies of Islaam (at
that time). Mus'ab went about carrying the message of Allaah, the
Qur'aan being his weapon. That is the true guidance from Allaah;
that is the straight path, and the clear enlightenment. Mus'ab
brought Islaam to every house in Madeenah, he brought guidance to
every house carrying only the Qur'aan and the Qur'aan is more than
sufficient.
Brothers in Islaam! Only one
man spread Islaam in the entire city of Madeenah; he had no concern
for the pleasures of this vanishing life. The Prophet sallallaahu
'alaihi wa sallam gave him the war-banner on the day of Uhud, he
went out to the battlefield wearing an old garment filled with
patches - and the next day he was of the dwellers of Jannah. He
used to wear expensive silk clothes before Islaam, but when he
carried the banner in Islaam he had on rough clothes. He fought
courageously in the battle, fear was not something he acknowledged,
he never retreated but was always going forward steadfast and
brave. His right hand was cut off, so he held the banner with his
left hand until that too was cut off, finally he held the banner
between his shoulders with both his arms, until the swords of the
enemies struck him to death.
When the battle was over, the
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and his companions identified
him and buried him in his clothes, this is because a Shaheed
(martyr) is not to be shrouded, so that his clothes can intercede
for him on the Day of Resurrection. His blood will have the color
of blood but would smell like musk. No prayer on the dead is to be
performed on him because his soul is alive, as Allah says that
which translates as: "And do not say about those who are killed in
the way of Allaah 'They are dead.' Rather, they are alive, they are
alive, but you perceive (it) not." [Al-Baqarah 2:154]

Shahaadah is an honor that is
only granted to those who are sincere. The Prophet sallallaahu
'alaihi wa sallam buried Mus'ab in his clothes, which would uncover
his feet if they covered his face, due to the lack of material.
Therefore the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Cover
his head with his clothes, and his feet with green plants"
(Bukhaari & Muslim).
O Muslims! Mus'ab became a
Shaheed, he died as men should die, but do Muslims today know how
to carry the banner of Islaam and protect it? Or are they insisting
on proceeding with relying on the oppressive powers?
The United States will not
protect you, nor are they able to release you from the oppression
befalling you. Flee to Allaah, as there will be neither any might
nor victory except from Allaah, He alone is capable of everything,
He is The Best Protector, and The Excellent Helper.
Second
Khutbah
All Praises are due to Allaah
Who has released us from our anguish, and blessed us with the best
Prophet and therefore made us the best nation.
I bear witness that there is
nothing worthy of worship except Allaah; The Protector of the
believers and The Supporter of the oppressed and The Subduer of
tyranny. May the Peace and Blessings of Allaah be sent upon the
master of all messengers sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam who said as
narrated by 'Imraan Ibn Husain: "The best of my nation are those
whom I was sent to, then those who succeed them, then those who
succeed them; then will come people who would volunteer testimony
without being asked, make promises which are unfulfilled, betray
and cannot be trusted and covetousness will spread in them"
(Bukhaari & Muslim)
O Believers! The media is
reporting a new Israeli plan to settle the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, and establish a Palestinian state. This is an old and
fruitless plan that aims at keeping the Palestinians engaged, but
Allaah Knows that the Israelis are not serious in giving the
Palestinians the right of a separate state.
Bringing up these old Israeli
ideas increases the suffering of our nation. The fact of the matter
is that the Israelis only want to stop our resistance and continue
their occupation, which will take us back to the state we were in
when we initiated our uprising. It is extremely dangerous to back a
call for a Palestinian state according to a plan which deprives the
Palestinians from returning to their areas, drops the right of
repossessing Al-Ghour in Jordan as well as Jerusalem, and demands a
Palestinian recognition to the Israeli state before discussing the
phases of Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank.
Our confrontation against the
Israelis will continue, as long as the world is either unaware of
the nature of our struggle, or deliberately not
reacting.
Slaves of Allaah! The nature
of this issue is different from other issue. It is a central
Islamic issue that concerns the entire Muslim Ummah, and Israel is
trying to change this fact and make it a Palestinian-Israeli
issue.
Israel backed the United
States to launch this dirty war against Muslims and the Islamic
movement worldwide. The United States used the most destructive
bombs against Afghanistan, and raised close to thirty-seven billion
dollars in the war against Islaam. The United States vetoes any
decision at the United Nations related to helping the Palestinians,
so how can we expect the United States to help us and be fair with
us?
Britain (the state behind the
criminal entity (Israel) which occupies Palestine) is ordering the
Palestinian forces to eradicate the Islamic movements. They seem to
forget that they themselves are at the top of the list of terrorism
- terrorism against Islaam and the Muslims. As for Russia, they are
trying to fortify themselves from the Islamic movements within
their territory, which is why they are defending
Israel.
O Muslims! This pressure on
the Palestinians to stop their uprising coincides with a shameful
betrayal from the Arab leaders. The Israelis and the Zionist media
worldwide are playing up the issue of attacking Iraq, Syria, and
Iran with the claim that they are countries that endanger the
security of Israel.
From this Pure and sacred
place, and from above this honorable Minbar (pulpit) I address all
Muslims and say:
"O Muslims! Wake up from your
heedlessness! Unite your ranks! Each one of your countries will be
attacked after Afghanistan. Unite yourselves at any price to become
one country rather than having so many separate countries. Your
enemies want to annihilate you and to desecrate your sacred places,
until there would not even be anyone who utters [La Ilaaha
Illallaah Mohammad Rasoollullaah]. This is the only thing I can
address you with, because you have been sleeping for such a long
time. There has been enough playing around, take lessons from the
words of your Lord".
[1] Ibn Ishaaq
narrated that once Abu Jahl passed by the Prophet sallallaahu
'alaihi wa sallam and insulted him, so Hamzah struck him on his
face and wounded him.
[2] Abu Qataadah narrated that
'Amr came to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and asked:
'If I fight and get killed would I walk without a limp in Jannah'
the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied: "Yes", then
'Amr, his nephew, and servant were all killed. The Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam passed by his dead body and said: "I
can see him walk in Jannah without a limp", then he commanded that
they all be buried in one grave.
