All praises belong to Allah.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

We praise him. We seek his help, his

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

assistance

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

in all our matters. We send peace and

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

blessings upon our beloved,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

our prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam upon his

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

family, his companions, and upon all those who

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

follow him up until the last day. My

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

brothers and sisters, welcome to Jumah Khutba summary.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

The topic

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

of today's Khutba is

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

addictions

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

of drugs

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

is a crime.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:43

SubhanAllah,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

Islam is a way of life that teaches

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

us, that commands

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

us for that which is beneficial

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

for us and

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

whatever

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

you find in the Quran and in the

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

teachings of the Prophet

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

that is prohibited.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

That is harmful.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

Obviously, bad for us.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

And one of the current challenges that we

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

face,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

our children face is about the drugs.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

Drugs, my brothers and sisters

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

is such a heinous

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

thing and addiction to it is such a

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

huge crime and a sin in itself.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

Islam

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

has really honored

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

the children of Adam. Allah

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

He says,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

and Allah Almighty has honored the children of

00:01:39 --> 00:01:39

Adam

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

And we have been honoured because

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

of our intellect

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

that Allah has blessed us with.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

Allah Almighty has given this intellect

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

that helps us to differentiate

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

between that which is right and wrong,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

between good and bad,

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

between

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

righteous and evil, between beneficial

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

and harmful. And no doubt whatsoever

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

that drugs, the addictions of drugs is something

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

which is extremely

00:02:10 --> 00:02:10

harmful.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

It actually ruins our life to an extent

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

that we feel sometimes

00:02:17 --> 00:02:17

to be

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

dead, you know, internally.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

We feel

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

sometimes

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

that we are sick

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

and may Allah Almighty protect all of us,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

our children. My brothers and sisters,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

this addiction of drugs is something

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

that is totally prohibited. Allah

00:02:44 --> 00:02:44

Allah

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala, He says, and spend in

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

the way of Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00

and do not put yourself into destruction

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

with your own hands

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

and do good. And Allah Almighty,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

he loves

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

the doers of good. My brothers and sisters,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

addictions of drugs is actually destruction

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

of your own self by your own hands.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

For this reason, Allah Almighty has prohibited,

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

legally, it is a crime.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

It is self destruction.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

It is self,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

you know, harm

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

that a person does when he consumes, when

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

he gets addicted to it. What is required,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

my brothers and sisters, is to be cautioned,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

alarmed,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

and to be mindful

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

of our own selves and our children.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

No doubt,

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

it requires

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

different ways of education.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

Number 1, awareness.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

Let your children be aware of drugs.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

Let them be aware of the destruction that

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

they will actually face. Let them be aware

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

of those people who have been addicted to

00:04:01 --> 00:04:04

drugs and look at their end, how

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

evil their end is.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

I mean, what they have achieved is just

00:04:10 --> 00:04:10

despair,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:12

sorrow

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

and hollowness in their lives.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

That is the reason

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

we are told to be the

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

people who are entrusted

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

with these

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

Amana,

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

the Amana of our children to help them

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

understand and enable them.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

This thought process that Islam has provided that

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

what is wrong

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

and prohibited in Islam is really

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

and totally harmful for us. So, what we

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

need to realise

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

is whatever Allah and his Messenger has taught

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

us in the Quran and the Sunnah

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

which is commanded to do,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

is extremely beneficial

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

and which is prohibited

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56

and wrong is extremely harmful.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

So,

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

Islam is given to us as a blessing

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

so that we can protect ourselves,

00:05:02 --> 00:05:05

our children from all that is harm and

00:05:05 --> 00:05:08

evil. So my beloved brothers and sisters, let

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

us make sure that we combat this evil

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

addiction of drugs. Let us create awareness so

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

that people are aware of it. Let them

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

be exposed to the case studies of those

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

people who have an evil end.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

No happy life in no good family.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

No personal satisfaction at all. It's just the,

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

you know, Dopamine effect and that is something

00:05:32 --> 00:05:33

which is extremely

00:05:34 --> 00:05:34

dangerous

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

and harmful. So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

Ta'ala to help us protect from this and

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

all kinds of evils,

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

that exist in the society.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

grant us that which is beneficial

00:05:50 --> 00:05:50

and

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

blessful. And that is what we learn in

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

Islam. We

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

ask Allah

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

to bless this beautiful country that reminds

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

us that which is beneficial, that reminds us

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

that is prohibited

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

so that we can avoid it. We ask

00:06:07 --> 00:06:07

Allah

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

to grant well-being and goodness to His Highness

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

of the UAE. Likewise, we ask Allah Almighty

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

to bless all the rulers of the Emirates.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

We ask Allah Almighty to protect this beautiful

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

the suffering the suffering, the difficulties, the the

00:06:33 --> 00:06:33

issues

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

that the Muslims,

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

are going through across the globe. We ask

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

Allah Almighty to grant peace and guidance

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

to the entire humanity.
