00:00:14--> 00:00:15

All praises belong to Allah

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

We praise him. We seek his help and

00:00:17--> 00:00:18

support

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

in all our matters. And we send peace

00:00:21--> 00:00:23

and blessings upon our Habib, our beloved prophet

00:00:23--> 00:00:26

Muhammad sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. My brothers and

00:00:26--> 00:00:26

sisters,

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

welcome to Jumah Khutba summary. The topic of

00:00:30--> 00:00:34

today's Khutba in Dubai is our tolerant religion.

00:00:34--> 00:00:37

SubhanAllah, Islam is a way of life that

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

demands mercy,

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

that

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

gives

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

mercy by the will of Allah

00:00:45--> 00:00:48

We just finished and said goodbye

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

to Ramadan.

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

And one of the powerful lessons

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

that we learned in Ramadan

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

is the element of leniency

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

and mercy.

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

Mercy is something which is so important

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

that we learnt in Ramadan.

00:01:04--> 00:01:05

And this is the reason

00:01:06--> 00:01:07

we need to actually

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

manage

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

to activate

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

our

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

values that we learned

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

in the month of Ramadan. Like,

00:01:15--> 00:01:18

we learned mercy, we learned forgiveness, we learned

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

to love each other. We learned unity. We

00:01:21--> 00:01:22

learned tolerance

00:01:22--> 00:01:23

in the month of Ramadan.

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

Although we said goodbye to Ramadan,

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

we should not say goodbye to the values

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

that we learnt

00:01:30--> 00:01:30

in Ramadan.

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

This is something which is extremely important.

00:01:34--> 00:01:37

As the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said,

00:01:37--> 00:01:40

the most beloved deeds to Allah Subhanahu Wa

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

Ta'ala

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

are those which are done continuously,

00:01:44--> 00:01:46

even though they are little. My brothers and

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

sisters, we learnt

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

in Islam that mercy

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

is something which is so

00:01:54--> 00:01:55

highly

00:01:55--> 00:01:58

encouraged to share with each other. That is

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

the reason

00:01:59--> 00:02:01

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said

00:02:01--> 00:02:04

something very profound. He said, you will never

00:02:04--> 00:02:07

enter into Jannah until you believe, and you

00:02:07--> 00:02:10

will never believe until you love

00:02:10--> 00:02:13

each other. And he said, shall I tell

00:02:13--> 00:02:15

you something that will help you to love

00:02:15--> 00:02:18

each other? He said, Ashfa Salaamu Baynakum,

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

exchange

00:02:19--> 00:02:21

the greetings of peace

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

and mercy.

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

SubhanAllah,

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

this is the reason we find my brothers

00:02:26--> 00:02:27

and sisters,

00:02:27--> 00:02:29

mercy is so important,

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

and it has to be,

00:02:32--> 00:02:33

you know implemented

00:02:34--> 00:02:38

by making sure that we have mercy on

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

our elders,

00:02:39--> 00:02:43

mercy on our younger, mercy on our family,

00:02:43--> 00:02:44

our neighbors, our colleagues,

00:02:45--> 00:02:46

our classmates,

00:02:46--> 00:02:48

our, you know, friends and relatives.

00:02:49--> 00:02:51

My brothers and sisters, Islam is a religion

00:02:52--> 00:02:53

that helps

00:02:53--> 00:02:54

us practice

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

leniency.

00:02:56--> 00:02:59

The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said, your

00:02:59--> 00:03:00

religion, Islam,

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

is easy.

00:03:02--> 00:03:04

Don't make it so difficult that people will

00:03:04--> 00:03:06

run away from it. My brothers and sisters,

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

this is the reason we know from the

00:03:09--> 00:03:11

hikmah of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that he

00:03:11--> 00:03:13

gave just 30 days of Ramadan.

00:03:14--> 00:03:16

Imagine if Ramadan would have been for 3

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

months,

00:03:17--> 00:03:20

4 months. It would be quite difficult for

00:03:20--> 00:03:20

us.

00:03:21--> 00:03:24

Therefore, Allah reflected his mercy and gave us

00:03:24--> 00:03:27

just 1 month of Ramadan to train ourselves,

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

to teach ourselves, to program ourselves so that

00:03:30--> 00:03:32

we can practice these beautiful

00:03:32--> 00:03:33

values

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

in the future for the next 11 months.

00:03:36--> 00:03:38

So my brothers and sisters, Islam is a

00:03:38--> 00:03:39

way of life that,

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

you know teaches us leniency,

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

forgiveness,

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

mercy,

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

easiness.

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

Therefore, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not

00:03:48--> 00:03:50

intend or does not desire

00:03:50--> 00:03:52

for you and me difficulty rather

00:03:53--> 00:03:56

ease. So Islam is a very easy way

00:03:56--> 00:03:57

of life

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

provided we understand it and consider it as

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

a part of our lifestyle.

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

SubhanAllah,

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

My brothers and sisters, let us ensure that

00:04:07--> 00:04:09

the values that we learned

00:04:10--> 00:04:12

in Ramadan, we should take it forward for

00:04:12--> 00:04:15

the next 11 months because that's

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

the Subhan Allah sign of your and my

00:04:19--> 00:04:21

Ramadan being accepted.

00:04:21--> 00:04:24

The sign of you, your deeds and my

00:04:24--> 00:04:25

deeds in Ramadan

00:04:26--> 00:04:27

were accepted

00:04:27--> 00:04:30

is that we continue to do those good

00:04:30--> 00:04:31

deeds. So, we ask

00:04:32--> 00:04:33

Allah to have

00:04:34--> 00:04:35

mercy on us,

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

to shower his blessings on us and to

00:04:38--> 00:04:40

grant us the

00:04:40--> 00:04:41

understanding

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

of leniency,

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

easiness,

00:04:44--> 00:04:44

and

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

mercy

00:04:46--> 00:04:48

with each other. We ask Allah Almighty

00:04:48--> 00:04:50

to grant well-being and goodness to his highness,

00:04:50--> 00:04:53

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president

00:04:53--> 00:04:55

of the UAE. Likewise, we ask Allah subhanahu

00:04:55--> 00:04:57

wa ta'ala to grant well-being and goodness to

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

all the rulers of the Emirates. We ask

00:04:59--> 00:05:01

Allah Almighty to protect this beautiful nation, the

00:05:01--> 00:05:04

UAE, from all kinds of evils and harms.

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

We ask Allah Almighty to have mercy

00:05:06--> 00:05:09

on all the Muslims across the globe. We

00:05:09--> 00:05:11

ask Allah Almighty to grant ease for those

00:05:11--> 00:05:12

struggling Muslims

00:05:13--> 00:05:15

across the globe. We ask Allah Almighty

00:05:15--> 00:05:16

to grant us

00:05:17--> 00:05:20

Firdos.

00:05:17--> 00:05:20

Firdos.
