FRIDAY KHUTBA
Khutba: Racism: The Ignorant Mentality
30. June 2022Khutba: Silat al Rahim
23. June 2022Man, the most honorable being that Allah (swt) has created on earth, is a social being. As soon as he is born, he is born in need of the attention and affection of his parents. As he grows up and gets older, it becomes a part of a belonging that extends from close relatives to distant relatives. A development of a healthy personality depends on the strong relations established with relatives. Individuals who are distant from their relatives suffer from loneliness due to the weakening of their social bases and lose their resistance in the face of life's difficulties.
Khutba: Building the Home on Solid Foundations
16. June 2022It is a human necessity for a man to marry a woman and a woman to marry a man in order to meet their needs, to share life's difficulties, sadness and joy. In an old saying, “Aloneness is only for Allah ”. It is both a right and a duty for every person who does not have a disability to marry, to get rid of the feeling of suffering that loneliness will bring and to start a family.
Khutba: Parent’s Rights
09. June 2022Today, individualism has become a characteristic that harms our relations. In the negative sense, individualism, which means prioritising one's own interests, makes people selfish. It weakens the sense of sacrifice and loyalty. Families, which are the core of the society, suffer the most from this situation. We are going through a period when family ties are weakened and people are faced with loneliness.
Khutba: Our Responsibility to the Environment
02. June 2022Allah (swt) created man as the caliph [leader], builder and protector of the earth. Caliph means an intelligent, conscious, and powerful being who structures the earth in accordance with Allah's will. Our environment is a gift to us. For this reason, we have responsibilities such as not to cause mischief and not to harm living and non-living things.
Khutba: The Importance of Privacy
26. May 2022إِنَّ مِنْ قَضَايَا الْعَصْرِ الْحَدِيثِ الَّتِي تَزُجُّ الْإِنْسَانَ فِي الْمَأَزَقِ؛ ثَقَافَةُ الْإِشْهَار، اَلَّتِي أَصْبَحَتْ نَمَطَ حَيَاةٍ لِكَثِيرٍ مِنَ النَّاس. وَنَعْنِي بِثَقَافَةِ الْإِشْهَارِ؛ أَنْ يُظْهِرَ الْإِنْسَانُ وَيُعْلِنَ مَا مِنْ شَأْنِهِ أَنْ يُكْتَمَ وَلَا يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاس. فَالْبَشَرِيَّةُ اِنْحَطَّتْ عَنْ مُسْتَوَى "أَنَا أُفَكِّر، إِذَنْ أَنَا مَوْجُود"، إِلَى مُسْتَوَى "أَنَا مُلَاحَظٌ وَمُشَاهَد، إِذَنْ أَنَا مَوْجُود". فِي حِينِ أَنَّ السَّتْرَ سُنَّةٌ أَخْلَاقِيَّةٌ أَكَّدَ عَلَيْهَا جَمِيعُ الْأَنْبِيَاء، اِبْتِدَاءً مِنْ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، إِلَى سَيِّدِنَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ؐ. وَيَدْخُلُ فِي إِطَارِ السَّتْرِ وَالتَّسَتُّرِ هَذَا؛ اَلْخُصُوصِيَّةُ الشَّخْصِيَّةُ لِلْإِنْسَان. بِمَعْنَى الْحِفَاظِ عَلَى خُصُوصِيَّةِ جَمِيعِ شُؤُونِهِ الَّتِي يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَبْقَى خَاصَّةً بِهِ وَلَا يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرُه.
