All praises belong to
Allah. We praise him. We seek his help
and support
in all our matters. We send peace and
blessings
upon Muhammad
upon his family, upon his companions, and upon
all those who follow him up until the
last day. My brothers and sisters,
welcome to Jumah Khutbaah summary. The topic of
today's Khutbaah in Dubai
is being grateful to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
SubhanAllah,
being grateful to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is
the trait of a true believer.
Yes,
indeed, a true slave of Allah, a true
believer in Allah, the one who has
sincere faith in Allah Almighty,
he is always grateful to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. He always
praises
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He will always
be in a state of contentment.
Why? Because he is grateful.
He always glorifies, praises Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And why shouldn't we
glorify and praise Allah?
Why shouldn't we be thankful to Allah when
He has given us so many,
so many things,
countless blessings
and favors that He has given. Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala He says
If you and I were to count
the favors, the bounties, the blessings of Allah,
we will never be able to count them.
My brothers and sisters, it is the command
of Allah Almighty
to be grateful. Allah Almighty says,
walatakfaroon.
Remember me so that I will remember you
and be grateful to me
and do not deny me. SubhanAllah,
being grateful is something that is so much
needed for a person to be at calm,
to be at peace, to be satisfied,
to be at
the state of joy
and contentment.
Because those people who are ungrateful,
who are inconsiderate
for the favors, for the blessings that are
there within them and around
them, they will always be unhappy.
They will always celebrate sadness.
But then, on the contrary,
those people who are grateful to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala,
those people who acknowledge
the favours and the blessings of Allah, those
people who are in true
awe to Allah Almighty
in a way that they always
have sense of gratitude
towards their Creator Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'la, they
will always be happy. They will always
understand the situation
whether it is in prosperity
or in adversity,
whether they are in peace
or they are in pain, they will always
celebrate
greatness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and this
is something which is very much needed. You
know, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
he manifested
his gratitude to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in
terms of his worship.
People used to ask
him, you know, why do you,
you know, pray so much? Why do you
put so much of struggle and effort when
Allah Almighty has forgiven your past, present and
the future sins?
He said something wonderful
which should stay in our minds and hearts
and lives, my brothers and sisters. He says,
Afala akunu Abdul shakurah?
Shouldn't I be grateful to Allah
for the favors that he has given me?
So my brothers and sisters, focus on favors.
You'll be happy.
Celebrate
the goodness that Allah has provided you. Yes,
we understand that we do go through situations
that are tough.
Trials, troubles, problems, challenges,
but then the true believer he comes out
from that by this mindfulness
that he has to say Alhamdulillah
in all situations. So we ask Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala to help us develop this trait
of gratefulness,
to show gratitude to Allah
and to the creation. We ask Allah
to grant well-being and goodness to his highness,
Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president
of the UAE. Likewise, we ask Allah Almighty
to bless all the rulers of the Emirates.
We ask Allah Almighty to help and protect
this beautiful nation, the UAE,
from all kinds of evils and harms. We
ask Allah Almighty to shower his blessings and
mercy and peace to all Muslims across the
globe. We ask Allah Almighty to grant guidance
to the entire humanity.
