			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.
