FRIDAY KHUTBA

Calling an End to Bloodshed

20. January 2022

When we compare humanity to previous eras, we see that we have incredibly advanced both scientifically and technologically. With the development of transport means, we have now reduced what was once months of travel time to only a few hours. Just in recent history, mankind has stepped foot on the moon and has dispatched different shuttles to planets capturing the technological levels. In the field of medicine, from organ transplants to the decoding of genetic codes we have accomplished great achievements.

Action requires consistency

13. January 2022

In the personal development and spiritual nourishing of an individual, ibadah has a specific place. All good and beneficial actions that we do for the sake of Allah ﷻ are considered as ibadah and all contribute to the development of who we are. Because ibadah has an impact on one’s relationship with the Creator, it naturally also affects one’s relationship with society and humanity at large. This will continue until man finally departs from this world.

Repentance: The Polisher of Hearts

06. January 2022

Repentance (tawba) is to turn, and to return. It is the process of transitioning from disobedience, to submission to Allah (swt). Accordingly, this verse informs us that every individual has a responsibility to repent from their sins. Without repentance, ultimate success cannot be perceived.

Approaching a New Year

30. December 2021

The end of a day, a month or a year is undoubtedly an important event. Because every day that goes by, every year that goes by, is like a page that is torn from one’s life. As we are approaching a new year within the generic calendar, we are letting go of yet another year of our life. Allah (SWT)'s given us the blessing of being something from nothing. The greatest proof of our existence is time, and within it is the blessing of life.

Gratitude Is The Key To Blessings

16. December 2021

One of the most important concepts of our religion, Islam, is undoubtedly the concept of gratitude. Gratitude; is the respect shown to the one who gave this blessing by word, deed or heart. It is appreciating the value of goodness and showing this feeling to the one providing the blessing by remembering the blessing and praising its owner. In the face of the countless blessings given to us by Allah (swt), the Lord of the worlds, it is a necessity of reason and conscience to honour and respect Him.

Our Understanding of Knowledge and Faith

10. December 2021

Undoubtedly, one of the most fundamental characteristics of the religion of Islam is the value it attaches to reason, knowledge, learning, research, thinking and contemplation. Allah (swt) says, “So will they not understand?”, “Do they not see" and “Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an?”.

Domestic Violence

02. December 2021

Unfortunately, while the family environment should be a safe place, many people experience domestic violence. Women and children are exposed to this distressing situation in the first place. Unfortunately, we observe that the number of domestic violence cases has increased even more with the curfews that emerged during the pandemic process.
