KHUTBAH OPENING (KHUTBAHTUL HAAJAH)
ALL PRAISES ARE DUE TO ALLAH. WE PRAISE
HIM, AND SEEK HIS HELP, AND ASK FOR HIS
FORGIVENESS. WE SEEK REFUGE IN ALLAH
FROM THE EVIL IN OUR OWN SOULS AND FROM
OUR OWN SINFUL DEEDS. WHOEVER ALLAH
GUIDES, NO ONE CAN MISLEAD. AND
WHOEVER ALLAH LEAVES MISGUIDED, NO ONE
CAN GUIDE. I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS
NO ONE WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH.
HE IS ONE, HAVING NO PARTNER. AND I BEAR
WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT
AND MESSENGER.
O BELIEVERS, HAVE TAQWA (FEAR โ
AWARENESS โ CONSCIOUSNESS) OF ALLAH
ACCORDING TO WHAT IS HIS RIGHT AND DO
NOT DIE EXCEPT AS MUSLIMS.
O BELIEVERS, HAVE TAQWA OF ALLAH AND
ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH. HE WILL DIRECT
YOU TO DO RIGHTEOUS DEEDS AND WILL
FORGIVE YOU YOUR SINS. AND WHOSOEVER
OBEYS ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER HAS
INDEED ACHIEVED A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.
AND TO PROCEED:

CERTAINLY THE BEST SPEECH IS THE BOOK OF
ALLAH. AND THE BEST GUIDANCE IS THE
GUIDANCE OF MUHAMMAD. THE WORST
AFFAIRS ARE THE INNOVATED ONES. AND
EVERY INNOVATION IS A GOING ASTRAY. AND
EVERY GOING ASTRAY IS IN PATH THAT LEADS
INTO THE HELL-FIRE.
MY DEAR BELOVED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN
ISLAM,
WELCOME TO JUMMAH. WE THANK ALLAH ---
SHUKUR ALLAH --- FOR GUIDING OUR HEARTS
TO ISLAM. FOR GUIDING US TO A GREAT
BARGAIN --- TO A GREAT DEAL --- TO A GREAT
COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION THAT WILL
NEVER FAIL IF WE BUT LIVE UP TO OUR
PORTION OF THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT.
ALLAH TELLS US:
WORK PRODUCTION --- NO. HE TELLS US:
HE WILL INCREASE FOR THEM FROM HIS
BOUNTY!
FOR WHAT HE ASKS OF US --- EVEN IF WE DID
NOTHING ELSE IN OUR LIVES BUT WORSHIP
HIM --- IS REALLY --- IN COMPARISON TO HIS
INFINITE MERCY AND HIS INFINITE BOUNTIES --
- TRULY INSIGNIFICANT. HE TELLS US IN A
HADITH QUDSI:
O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more than a needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him who finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other that blame no one but himself.
It was related by Muslim (also by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah).
ALLAH PROMISES HIS SLAVES INCREASE FROM
HIS BOUNTIES. :
ูููุฒููุฏูู ูู
ููู ู YET,
WE TOO OFTEN LIKE MOTHS TO A FLAME RUN
AFTER THE FLEETING FLICKERS OF A CANDLE
THAT WILL NOT FAIL TO BURN US.

๏ท 62:11 (Y. Ali) But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse headlong to it, and leave thee standing. Say: "The (blessing) from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! and Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)."
๏ท 102:4 (Y. Ali) Again, ye soon shall know!
๏ท 102:5 (Y. Ali) Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
๏ท 102:6 (Y. Ali) Ye shall certainly see Hell-Fire!
๏ท 102:7 (Y. Ali) Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
๏ท 102:8 (Y. Ali) Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
IF THESE THINGS ARE NOT THE REAL
BARGAINS, THEN WHAT IS? MY DEAR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ISLAM, THE REAL
BARGAIN --- THE REAL DEAL --- THE REAL
COMMERCE THAT WILL NEVER FAIL IS
SLAVERY. AND THAT IS OUR TOPIC TODAY:
THE BENEFITS OF SLAVERY.
NOW YOU MAY ASK: HOW CAN I STAND
BEFORE ALLAH'S PEOPLE AND ADVOCATE FOR
SLAVERY โ A VILE INSTITUTION THAT
SUBJUGATES HUMAN BEINGS LIKE ANIMALS
OR PROPERTY? AN INSTITUTION THAT ALLAH
IN THE QURAN CLEARLY SET IN MOTION TO
ELIMINATE BY ENCOURAGING THE FREEING OF
SLAVES AT NUMEROUS TIMES, AND WHICH THE
PROPHET AND HIS COMPANIONS SHOWED US
BY EXAMPLE THAT FREEING SLAVES WAS A
PRAISWORTHY DEED THAT WE SHOULD SEEK
TO PERFORM. WE SEE THE VESTIGES OF
SLAVERY STILL AMONG US TODAY. THERE
ARE PEOPLE TODAY LIVING IN VIRTUAL OR
ACTUAL SLAVERY ALL OVER THE PLANET ---
WE SEE ASPECTS OF SLAVERY IN THIS SO-
CALLED CIVILIZED MODERN WORLD: IN
AFRICA, IN EUROPE, IN ASIA, IN THE MIDDLE
EAST, IN AMERICA. WOMEN AND CHILDREN
TRAFFICKED LIKE ANIMALS FOR THE SEXUAL
PERVERSIONS OF DEGENERATES. MEN,
WOMEN, AND CHILDREN HELD IN BONDAGE AS
PHYSICAL LABORERS ALL OVER THE WORLD ---
STILL TODAY THIS IS HAPPENING --- MOST
UNFORTUNATELY EVEN IN THE MUSLIM
WORLD --- BECAUSE WE OF ALL PEOPLES
SHOULD KNOW BETTER BY THE PURE
๏ท 51:56 (Y. Ali) I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.
ALLAH CREATED MAN WITH AN INNATE
NATURE TO SERVE.
IT IS BUILT INTO OUR FITRAH --- OUR BASIC
NATURE --- TO SERVE OR WORSHIP SOMETHING
GREATER THAN OURSELVES. AND IF WE FAIL
TO PROPERLY PERCEIVE THIS --- IF WE FAIL TO
RECOGNIZE THE ONLY ONE WORTHY OF OUR
WORSHIP (ASSHADU INLA ILLAHA ILALLAH ---
THERE IS NOTHING WORTHY OF OUR WORSHIP
EXCEPT ALLAH) THEN WE WILL DEGENERATE
INTO SERVING --- INTO WORSHIPPING --- INTO
BEING A SLAVE FOR THINGS THAT ARE NOT AT
ALL WORTHY OF OUR WORSHIP OR OUR
SERVICE: WE WILL WORSHIP POWER, MONEY,
JOBS, SCIENCE, FAMILY, CULTURE,
NATIONALITY, RACE, INTELLECT, TRINKETS,
SEX, DRUGS, MUSIC, CIGARETTES, FOOD, IDOLS,
ANCESTORS, OUR OWN SELVES AND DESIRES ---
BUT WE WILL WORSHIP SOMETHING. IT IS IN
OUR NATURE. YET NONE OF THESE THINGS IS
WORTHY OF OUR WORSHIP --- THE ONLY
ENTITY THAT IS WORTHY OF OUR WORSHIP IS
ALLAH.
