Friday Sermons(1129): s1:Hajj and its Rituals- s2. Principles included in the Khutba of the Farewell Hajj
   
 
 
In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful  
 

Islamic creeds, acts of worship, and Transactions:

 Dear Brothers, beside the Islamic creeds which are the bases of Deen (religion), there are also in Islam the acts of worship which regulate man's relation with His Lord, while transactions regulate his relation with his fellow creatures. Actually, whenever acts of worship are done in a right way, the transactions will be so exquisite and vice versa, because the acts of worship basically aim to grant man transcendence in his soul, his words, and his deeds through strengthening his relation with Allah the Almighty, following His Guidance, enjoying being close to Him, living in His Mercy, and indulging in his grace. Based on this, Allah has enjoined the ritual worships such as Salah, fasting and Hajj.

Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam:

 Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is a financial, physical, ritual act of worship, and a unique trip in the world of travel, in which Muslim travels by his body and his heart to the City of Security (Mecca) by which Allah has sworn in the Noble Quran. The Muslim goes there to stand on Arafat (mountain), to circumambulate the Sacred House of Allah (Kabah) which Allah has made as a symbol of the Tawheed (monotheism) of Him (the doctrine of His Oneness) and of the unity of Muslims. So, He enjoins Muslims to face its direction five times a day in their prayers, Allah the Almighty says:

"Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad's) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid- al-Haram (at Makkah). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction. Certainly, the people who were given the Scriptures (i.e. Jews and the Christians) know well that, that (your turning towards the direction of the Ka'bah at Makkah in prayers) is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do."

(Al- Baqarah, 2:144)

 Then Allah has imposed on him to go to it personally. Thus, first He orders us to face its direction five times a day in our prayers, then He imposes on us to travel to it personally and to circumambulate to perform Hajj once in our lifetime.

The Ancient House is the first one appointed for mankind

  This Ancient House is the first house established for mankind, and is the first house of worship to be founded on earth. Its structure was rebuilt by prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismael, the forefathers of the Muslim nation, and whose invocations to Allah while they were raising the foundations of that Noble House were answered. Allah the Almighty says:

 

"Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage - Hajj and 'Umrah, etc.), and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful *"Our Lord! Send amongst them a Messenger of their own (and indeed Allah answered their invocation by sending Muhammad Peace be upon him ), who shall reauthor unto them Your Verses and instruct them in the Book (this Quran) and Al-Hikmah (full knowledge of the Islamic laws and jurisprudence or wisdom or Prophethood, etc.), and sanctify them. Verily! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."

(Al- Baqarah, 2:128-129)

 The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

"I am the du'a (supplication) of Ibrahim, and the glad-tidings given by 'Isa bin Maryam"

[Ibn Saad from Abdullah Bin Abd Al-Rahman Ibn Muammar]

Hajj is a practical evidence of believer's love for Allah:

  Dear Brothers, Hajj is a practical evidence provided by the believer to His Lord and to himself that answering the call of Allah out of his love for Him, and seeking His Pleasure; is more important for him than his money, his family, his children, his work, and his home. Actually, what characterizes this worship is that it requires giving all your time to it because it could not be performed except in the Sacred House of Allah.
 Hence, you must leave your homeland, family and friends, withstand the rigors of travel, be exposde to its hazards, and spend money on Hajj for the sake of Allah's pleasure. If it is true that the expenses of this act of worship are expensive, it is also true that the fruit of this worship has spectacular results. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

“Whoever performs Hajj to this House (Ka‘bah) and does not approach his wife for sexual relations nor commits sins (while performing Hajj), he will return as sinless as he was on the day he was born."

[Agreed upon from Abu Hurayrah may Allah be pleased with him]

 He also said:

"Hajj destroys whatever was before it (of sins)."

[reported by Muslim from 'Amr ibn al-Aas]

 And he also said:

"An accepted Hajj has no reward except Paradise."

 

[Reported by Ahmad, Ibn Khuzaymah, Al-Tabaraani in the Awsat, Alhakem and al-Bayhaqi from Jaber]

 And he also said:

"The pilgrims and those performing ‘Umrah are the delegation of Allah, when they beseech Him He will grant them their quest, and when they seek His forgiveness, He will forgive them"

 

[Reported by Ibn Majah in Al-Manasik from Abu Hurayrah]

 Therefore, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

((Keep on doing Hajj and Umrah, for they eliminate poverty and sins)).

[Reported by Tirmidhi and Imam Ahmad from Ibn Masood]

“To spend in Hajj is like spending in the way of Allah"

[Reported by Ahmad in his Musnad from Buraydah]

The meanings of Talbiayh:

1. A response to the callI to leave everything and go to Allah:

 When a Muslim goes to the Sacred House of Allah, and leaves behind all the concerns of sustenance and living, work and earnings, the worries of his wife and children, and the concerns of the present and the future, then, after he wears Iharm clothes (not sewed clothes) from Miqat ( certain places set for starting Ihram), he becomes entirely distant from this world, devotes himself to Allah the Almighty and says:' O my Lord, Here have I come to You my Lord, Here I am. There is no partner with You. Here I am. Truly, the praise and the provisions are Yours, and so is the dominion and sovereignty. There is no partner with you'
 This Talbiyah is like a response to the call of Allah, that a Believer feels deep inside his heart as if Allah is saying to him: O My servant, leave everything and come to Me, O my servant come to Me so that I relieve you of worldly concerns which are as great as mountains, and which are tremendous burden on you, come to Me, O My servant and I will purify you from all (illicit) desires that spoil your life.

For how long you’ll be consumed in desires
And for what you’ve committed you’ll be held responsible
***

 Come, O My servant, feel the taste of My Love.. Come, O My servant, taste the sweetness of the Secret Conversation with Me.

 

 O my Lord, Here have I come to You my Lord, Here I am. There is no partner with You. Here I am. Truly, the praise and the provisions are Yours, and so is the dominion and sovereignty. There is no partner with you

 Come, O My servant to show you some of My Great Signs, to show you the kingdom of the earth and the heavens, to illuminate your heart with My Light by which all darkness is dispelled, to fill your heart with tranquility which all people of the earth and the heavens miss, to fill your soul with content and satisfaction without which many souls become miserable, to bring you from the muddy shallows of lusts unto the heavens of My Vicinity, to save you from the solitude of remotness to the delight of closeness to Me, and to save you out of the horror of Shirk and the humiliation of hypocrisy to the calmness of tawheed and the glory of obedience.

2. Taking mankind from the concerns of life to the paradise of Vicinity:

 'O my Lord, Here I have come to You, my Lord, Here I am. There is no partner with You. Here I am. Truly, the praise and the provisions are Yours, and so is the dominion and sovereignty. There is no partner with You.'

 Come, My servant, to take you from this evanescent life, from your monotonous job, and from your considerable worries to the horizon of My Knowledge, the honor of remembering Me, and the delight of being close to Me. Come, My servant put your worries, your troubles, and your fears before Me, and I guarantee their demise. Come, My servant and mention your need to Me, ask Me and I will guarantee that you get your demand:

" Mosques are My Houses on earth, so blessed be he who has ablution at his house and then visits Me in My House, for The Host is going to honor the guest."

 How much I will honor you since you have come from distant places, withstood hardship, paid expenses, visited Me in My Sacred House, stood at Arafah, and sought My Pleasure.

 'O my Lord, Here I have come to You my Lord, Here I am. There is no partner with You. Here I am. Truly, the praise and the provisions are Yours, and so is the dominion and sovereignty. There is no partner with you.'

 Come, My servant, and visit Me in My Sacred House, so all your concerns will go away, you see the truth, and prepare yourself to meet Me.

"Verily a servant, whom I gave a healthy body, and I expanded for him his livelihood, and five years pass upon him that he does not come to Me (for Hajj), then he is deprived."

[Abu Ali from Abu Hurayrah]

3. Circumambulating the Ka'bah and making a covenant with Allah to obey Him:

 Come, My servant, circumambulate the Ka'bah like the way someone goes around his beloved, do Sa’i (walking) between Safa and Marwah the way someone yearns to reach his purpose. Come, My servant, and kiss the Black Stone, and shed tears for the time you have spent on doing things you were not created for. Pledge Me to leaves sins and violations and to perform good deeds and acts of worship. Be to me as I want you to, and I will be to you as you want Me to, Be to me as I want you to, and do not inform Me of what is right for you. Actually, if you give in to Me in what I want, I will provide you with everything you want, otherwise I will overburden you in seeking what you want, then things will turn out the way I want, I have created everything in the universe for you so do not be overstrained, and I have created you for (obeying) Me so do not play (do not be negligent), by My Right upon you, do not be busy with what I guarantee for you at the expense of what I enjoin on you.

 

 

 

4. Exposure to divine breeze once on the Day of Arafat will purify the heart :

 "O my Lord, Here I am at Your service, Here I am. There is no partner with You. Here I am. Truly, the praise and the provisions are Yours, and so is the dominion and sovereignty. There is no partner with you."

 Come, My servant to Arafat, on the day of the Largest Meeting, Come to expose to a whiff of Mine that cleanses your heart from all dirt and lusts, and purifies your soul from every blemish and distress. These whiffs fill your heart with happiness and tranquility, and the bliss that will spread in your soul will be enough for the people of a whole country, then you will not regret but for an hour you have spent in gossip, asking too many questions, and wasting money.

 Come to Arafat, on the day of Arafah, to know that you ranks first above all creatures; the earth and the heavens were created to server you, you bore the Trust, which the heavens, the earth and the mountains declined to bear and feared from, and I have brought you to this world (I have created you) to get to know Me, and to perform a good deed that grants you Paradise of Eternity.
 Come to Arafat, on the day of Arafah, to know that the Man is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience. Verily, if you find Me you will find everything, and if you miss Me you will miss everything, and I Am more beloved to you from anything else.

The sweetness of secret conversation with Allah:

 After the believer tastes the sweetness of secret conversation in Arafat, through his supplication, through performing prayers, through being close to Allah, and through the magnificence of this meeting, then he will indulge in the pleasure of Vicinity, he will despise this life and it will pass from his heart to his hands (although he possesses it, his heart will not be related to it), and the Hereafter will become his largest concern and then he will seek a seat of truth (i.e. Paradise), near the Omnipotent King (Allah the Almighty). Actually, it will be revealed to the pilgrim in Arafat that every bad thing has occurred to him in his life is pure justice, virtue, and mercy, and he will fully comprehend the following ayah:

"Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know."

(Al-Baqarah, 2:216)

 When the pilgrim proceeds from Arafat, after gaining knowledge (of Allah), lightening his heart, and getting lucid vision; he will believe that the real happiness is only in obeying Allah, and the real misery is in disobeying Him; and he will realize the enmity of Satan, and how he threatens the people who obey him with poverty if they spend money on charity, and made them fear other than Allah If they want to turn to Allah in repentance and remorse and Satan does not promise them anything except delusion, Allah the Almighty says:

"And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: "Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."

(Ibrahim, 14:22)

 When the pilgrim symbolically expresses his hostility to Satan by throwing stones, as a material expression, he vows to antagonize satan and reject his whispers and bad thoughts.
Imam al-Ghazali, may Allah have mercy on him, said: " verify that you are apparently stoning at the Jammrah of Aqabah while in reality you are throwing stones at the face of the Satan, and breaking his back, and unless you carry out Allah’s orders to the letter, you won’t humiliate Satan "

The sacrifice of animals as a symbol of thanking Allah


 When the pilgrim takes the sacrificed animal, and slaughters it, it is as if this animal is a gift to Allah as an expression of thanking Him for the blessing of guidance, which is the most precious grace at all, and as if the slaughtering of a sacrificial animal is slaughtering to every lust unapproved by Allah, and to every desire that keeps you away from obeying Him, and sacrificing the worthy and trivial, and soul and precious for the sake of pleasing the Lord of the worlds. Allah the Almighty says:

"It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him. Thus have We made them subject to you that you may magnify Allah for His Guidance to you. And give glad tidings (O Muhammad) to the Muhsinun (doers of good)."

(Al-Hajj, 22:37)

Tawaf Al-Ifada and Tawaf Al-Wada (the farewell Tawaf)

  Then pilgrim performs Tawaf Al-Ifadah as confirmation of these facts, and feelings, then he performs Tawaf Al-Wada so that he goes back to his country as a changed person whose heart is lightened by the realities of faith, and his soul is gleamed by the lights of Vicinity, and he determines to fulfill the promises he has made to Allah. Actually, if it is true that Hajj is a journey to Allah, it is also true that it is the penultimate journey, which makes the final journey (the death) leading to a Paradise that is as wide as the heavens and the earth.

 

Obeying The Messenger of Allah is exactly the same as obeying Allah:

 After pilgrims finish the rituals of Hajj, they head towards Al-Medina Al-Munawara (the lightened city), which is one of the most beloved countries to Allah, they go there to visit the best of creatures, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. It was transmitted that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

"Whoever (makes pilgrimage then) visits me after my death; it is as if he visited me during my (earthly) life"

[Reported by Al-Daraqutni from Ibn 'Umar]

 The Noble Ayah below was written on a plaque attached to the wall of the Noble Room in a prominent place:

"We sent no Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allah's Leave. If they (hypocrites), when they had been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad) and begged Allah's Forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them: indeed, they would have found Allah All-Forgiving (One Who accepts repentance), Most Merciful."

(Al-Nisa, 4:64)

 Al-Qurtubi indicated that this Ayah justifies visiting The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in his life and after his death as well, and this is for nobody but to him.
Also, Al Qasimi mentioned in his commentary that there is an indication in this Ayah in regard to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace as whoever wrongs himself by disobeying His Lord through leaving the Sunnah of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, should ask Allah His forgiveness, and apologize to the Messenger of Allah as well. So repentance is neither complete nor acceptable unless forgiveness is sought from Allah and His Messenger. Thus, obeying and pleasing the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is the very same of obeying Allah the Almighty and pleasing Him, and this could be deduced from using the absent pronoun of singular masculine in the following Ayah:

"But it is more fitting that they should please Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad)"

(At-Tawbah, 9:62)

 (Which means: And Allah and His Messenger are truly worthier that they should satisfy Him ( absent pronoun of singular masculine) not Them.)
 Actually, there is no stronger proof of that than what is mentioned in the following Ayah:

"He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad), has indeed obeyed Allah, but he who turns away, then we have not sent you (O Muhammad) as a watcher over them."

(Al-Nisa, 4:80)

 And also what is mentioned in this Ayah in which Allah the Almighty says:

"Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Quran and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

(Al-Imran, 3:31)

Muslim feels tranquility and happiness when visiting the Maqam of the Prophet:

 Dear believers, perhaps the secret behind happiness that fills the heart of a Muslim, when visiting the Maqam (Noble Grave) of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that once he sees the features of Madinah his heart palpitates, and as soon as he sees the Noble Rawdah he will burst into tears, by then the soul of the visitor (the pilgrim who is visiting the Prophet) becomes pure from every blemish, and sound from every defect. Furthermore, it will be ecstatic by love and closeness to the prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, this is the reality of shfaa'aa ( the intercession) of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, which he mentioned in the following Hadith:

"Whoever visits me without any avowed purpose other than my visit, it is incumbent upon me to be his intercessor on the Day of Resurrection"

[Reported by Ibn Khuzaymah in his Sahih, Al-Bazzar and Al-Darqutni from Ibn 'Umar]

 If you want an evidence from the Noble Qur'an For the tranquility and happiness that Muslim experiences when spiritually linked to the prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in one way or another then reauthor the Ayah bellow:

"Take Sadaqah (alms) from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it, and invoke Allah for them. Verily! Your invocations are a source of security for them, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower."

(At-Tawbah, 9:103)

 Al-Razi mentioned in his commentary that: "The spirit of Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was strong, pure, bright, and brilliant, on account of his complete closeness to Allah, and because his Noble heart received the Revelation of Allah the Almighty. So when his companions mention him with love and good, or when believers mention him with love and appreciation, then the effects of his spiritual strength will overwhelm their souls that gleam and their inner-selves that are purified"
Actually, this meaning explains the following Ayah when Allah the Almighty says:

"Allah sends His Salat (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad) and also His angels too (ask Allah to bless and forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salat on (ask Allah to bless) him (Muhammad), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islamic way of greeting (salutation i.e. AsSalamu 'Alaikum)."

(Al-Ahzab, 33:56)

Effect of the Prophet's spiritual strength over his soul:

 Dear Brother, it was transmitted that Sayyidina Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, traveled to Syria, after the death of the best of the creatures, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and stayed there for a long time, then the prophet came to him in his dream saying: what kind of turning away from me! O Bilal (why did you leave me?) Is not it due time for visiting me? Bilal woke up sad, rode his camel, went back to Madina, headed to the Maqam of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he cried a lot there. And when Hassan and Hussein, may Allah be pleased with them, showed up he kissed and hugged them, they said to him that they were yearning to hear the same azan they used to hear when the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was alive. They insisted on that till he went and climbed over the roof of the mosque and took the position he used to take before while making azan. When he started to say: (Allah is greatest), this reminded the people of Madina of the time when the Prophet were alive, a clamor arose in Madina, and people went out their houses. (the narrator said): I have not seen a day on which all people were crying and weeping in Madina after the death of the Prophet than that day.
 Abu Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with him, said the truth when he said (before he embraced Islam): "I have not seen any people who love anyone the way the companions of Muhammad love him."
 Actually, this fact should be applied to every believer till the Day of Resurrection (all believer should love the Prophet like this). The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

"None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than his child, his father and all of mankind"

[Agreed upon from Anas]

 I say these words, and ask Allah the Almighty's forgiveness for me and you; so ask Him His forgiveness and He will forgive you, and you will gain a lot by doing that.

* * *

The second khutba:

 Praise be to Allah, and I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Prophet Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, His great creation, O Allah, bless him and bless our master Muhammad and his family and companions.

The all-inclusive Khutba of the farewell hajj included humanitarian principles

  Dear Brother, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, delivered a comprehensive and all-inclusive Khutba in the farewell Hajj which included humanitarian principles in easy and simple words, and how could not that happen while the Prophet was given the all-comprehensive words! (words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning). So it comprised set of facts that the straying and tortured world needs to be happy and to be guided, Allah the Almighty says:

"(Allah) said:"Get you down (from the Paradise to the earth), both of you, together, some of you are an enemy to some sh3er. Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery."

(Taha, 20:123)

 Allah the Almighty reared Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, under his care so that the Arabs will derive values from him, and in the same vein all creatures will derive values from Arabs, and this is meant to be the will of Allah. Allah the Almighty says:

"And strive hard in Allah's Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islamic Monotheism). It is He (Allah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Quran), that the Messenger (Muhammad) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), give Zakat and hold fast to Allah [i.e. have confidence in Allah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs] He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Excellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper!"

(Al- Hajj, 22:78)

Some of the principles included in the farewell Khutba:

1. All people are equal in humanity regardless of their external appearance:

 

 Dear Brother, some of the principles included in the farewell Khutba of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that all people are equal in humanity regardless of their clothes, their situation or their social position. The Prophet may Allah bless him and grant him peace said:

"O people, Remember that your Lord is One. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a black has no superiority over white, nor a white has any superiority over black, except by piety and good action (Taqwa). Indeed the best among you is the one with the best character (Taqwa). Listen to me. Did I convey this to you properly? People responded, Yes. O messenger of God, The Prophet then said: Be Witness O Allah"

[ Taken from the farewell Khutba, go back to Nawawi explanation of Sahih Muslim and the beginning and the end to Ibn Katheer]

2. Unless human believes in his Lord and in His promise, his faith is valueless:

  The second principle is: Unless human soul believes in Allah, in His promise and in His threats, and unless it believes that Allah knows its secrets and what it speaks aloud, it will not get any benefit from its faith, because human soul only cares about its interest and benefit, and cares less about anything obstructs its way; perhaps it may build its glory at other's expense, it may gain wealth at the expense of other's poverty, it may swell with pride at the expense of other's lowness, and it may build its life at the expense of their death. Therefore, the Noble Prophet said in the farewell Khutba:

((O people, ! Your blood, your properties, and your honor are sacred to one another till you meet your Lord. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds. Did I convey this to you properly? People responded, Yes. O messenger of God, The Prophet then said: Be Witness O Allah))

 There are about seven hundred thousand suits in the Palace of Justice like wringing houses, companies, or lands (because of not applying those principles). So nothing belongs to a fellow Muslim shall be legitimate to a another Muslim unless it was given to him freely and willingly.

 

3. Money is lifeblood and should be circulated among all people:

 The third principle of the farewell Khutba is that money is the lifeblood and should be circulated among all people, and that when money produces money without a real effort which contributes to building the earth, and to enriching the life, it will gather in a few hands, and too many people will be deprived of it. Then life will be disturbed, hatred will arise, and people will resort to violence which produces nothing but violence. Furthermore, usury contributes in one way or another in these tragic consequences that bring affliction to the human society; because ninety percent of the wealth of the earth is owned by ten percent of its population, while ninety percent of the earth's population has only ten percent of its wealth. Actually, this frightening disparity in the living standards between North and South countries can’t survive violence, and will lead to more violence as the latter generates more violence in a vicious circle:

((Allah has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn ‘Abd’al Muttalib (Prophet’s uncle) shall henceforth be waived))

 

 

 

 

4.Women are the twin halves of men:

 The fourth principle is: women are the twin halves of men because she is equally appointed to creed, acts of worship, and transactions, she is equal to him with regard deserving reward and punishment, and she is totally equal to him in terms of honor, esteem and responsibility. Therefore, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

((Fear Allah concerning women and treat them well,. Did I convey this to you properly? Be Witness O Allah...)).

 Then he continued his Khutba saying:

((O people, do not return after my death infidels strike some of you the necks of some. O people! The Devil has lost all hope of ever being worshipped in this land of yours. Nevertheless, he will try to mislead you in matters. Beware of him, therefore, for the safety of your religion “I have left among you two things (which if you adhere to) you will never go astray: the Book of Allah and my Sunnah, (O people! You shall be asked about me, so what are you going to reply) They said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed (the Message), fulfilled (the trust) and offered sincere advice.'' The Prophet kept raising his finger towards the sky and then pointing at them, saying: be witness, O Allah))

Raising any controversial issue between us is considered a crime:

 Dear Brother, our enemies are amazingly cooperating with each other, although there were long wars between them that lasted for two hundred years, and although they have only five percent of the common denominators, while Muslims are fighting each other and they shed blood as you can see, although they have ninety-five percent of common denominators (like the religion of Islam, the Arabic language, the land, the customs, etc…) and this is a stigma of shame on our nation. Therefore, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

((O people, do not return after my death infidels strike some of you the necks of some))

[Reported by Bukhari and Muslim from Jarir ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him]

 The Prophet called the trials between Muslim that ends with death or bloodshed is called by the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, Kufr (disbelief), do not return after my death infidels strike some of you the necks of some.
 Dear Brother, I want to convey to you these words from the depths of my heart: Raising any controversial issue nowadays is considered a crime against this nation, because our enemy want to attack all of us, so we should all unite together because there are too many common denominators between the Muslim groups that only Allah knows, and you can call to Allah within these common denominators for a long time without raising any problem. So, look for them, look for the issues we all agree upon, and verify that this nation has the same God, the same Prophet, the same Qur'an, the same pains, and the same hopes, and our enemies are plotting evil scheme against us to impoverish, to mislead, to spoil, to humiliate and to destroy us.

Invocation:

 We beseech you Allah to show us the way of rightness among those whom You showed, and give us good health among whom You healed, and be our patron like those whom You became their patron, and bliss what You bestowed us, and save us from the traumas that you destined for You rule in rightness and You are never judged, and he whom You patron shall never be in humiliation and whom You make as enemy shall never be lofted, blessed and dignified are You, and we thank You for what you destined, we ask Your forgiveness and we repent to You, Allah please lead us to the good deeds for no one leads to them but You, please lead us to the good manners for no one leads to them but You, please Allah make us do well in the religion which is our dignity, and make our lives good for it is our living, and make us safe on the day of judgment for it is our final destination, please make the life our supply for all good things and make the death a rest from every evil, our master the Lord of all worlds, please make me with what You have made lawful needless of what You have made unlawful and make me with Your benevolence independent of all sh3er, and make my obedience to You turn me away from my disobedience,., please by Your generosity and mercy make the word of rightness and religion high and lead Islam to victory, and make the Muslims dignified in every place on earth..show us Your strength against Your enemies. O Allah..the Most Generous.
