Weddings

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

manages

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

without extravagance.

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

From the observance, he says about

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

the extravagant.

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

Increasingly

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

spending.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

Spending without account.

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

Spending

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

more

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

than required.

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

The amount

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

of the expense are to have. They guided

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

us that the best of the

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

the best of the marriages are those in

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

which

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

Allah is displeased with those. Allah abilities that

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

he does not like those. Allah abilities that

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

he does not love those who spend extra

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

every Friday is a reminder

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

for each other to remind ourselves on a

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

core

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

value of Islam, and that is the of

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

Allah. Being aware,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

being conscious,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

being careful, being aware of Allah

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

is something that is the need of every

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

single

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

individual Muslim,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49

and it is the recipe of success. For

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

indeed, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he says

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

who have the law.

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

They are successful.

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

The topic,

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

my brothers and sisters,

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

for this Jummah Khutbah

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

is weddings,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:10

marriages

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

without

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

extravagance.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he says in the

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

Quran

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

about himself.

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

What she likes,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

what he dislikes,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

what he demands,

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

and what he prohibits,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

what he allows,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

and what he is

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

From our ability, sir, he says about

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

the extravaganza.

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

Increasingly

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

spending.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

Spending without the count.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

Spending

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

more

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

than required.

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

Spending more than necessary.

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

Does

00:03:58 --> 00:03:58

not like

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

those who are extravagant.

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

One of the major

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

problems

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

of the current time

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

among the Muslim Ummah is fat weddings.

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

Weddings

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

actually are costing

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

lives for the people.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:17

It is

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

an act and a required reminder

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

for all of us

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

to look into this matter

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

much more seriously

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

than ever before. The need, my brothers and

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

sisters, is to ensure that we evaluate

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

our own capacities

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

and

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

spend in the weddings

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

that which is only necessary,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

that which is required. Remember,

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

according to the status

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

in the world among the Muslim Ummah in

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

the society,

00:04:49 --> 00:04:52

most of the marriages, they get disrupted.

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

They are broken

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

in which

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

lavishly

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

the amount

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

that expands us.

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

How true

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

are the noble messenger,

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

expenses are

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

spent.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

My brothers and sisters,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

people

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

are crying.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

Why?

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

Because they have to go into serious

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

credits.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

They are indebted

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

just because of the demands

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

of

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

either the parties, just because of the

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

soul that is looking for more and more

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

in the weddings. Yes. We understand that's a

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

great day. Yes. We understand that's a very

00:05:45 --> 00:05:45

beautiful

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

and a blessed day. But in order for

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

it to be truly blessed,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

it must be done in the way of

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

Allah

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

in

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

line with the instructions and the guidance of

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

and make sure.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

And remind

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

that indeed, Allah is displeased with those. Allah

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

does

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

this is not our tradition

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

to spend things out of your capacity,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

to spend in the ways in a way

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

that is not required at all. The most

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

noble,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

blessed,

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

and peaceful values are those which are done

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

according to the will of Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

Ta'ala.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

Remember what Allah mentioned as an objective

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

of the guide. The objective

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

of marriage, the purpose

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

of gaining into a relationship.

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

Allah says

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

in the Quran,

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

the core purpose

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

of

00:07:14 --> 00:07:18

So the core purpose of marriage is tranquility,

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

is peace, is happiness,

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

is well-being,

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

is goodness,

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

how that can be achieved by

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

displeasing

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

what Allah will result. Indeed, whatever

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

Allah commands in the Quran is a benefit

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

for us. It is beneficial for us. Whatever

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39

he stops us for is absolutely

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

harmful.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44

Remember, there are 3 areas or 3 major

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

problems when it comes to value. 1, the

00:07:46 --> 00:07:50

problem could be, you know, raised by the

00:07:50 --> 00:07:50

men's

00:07:51 --> 00:07:51

side,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:53

the groom's side.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

The other problem, it could be raised by

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

the bright side. The other problem

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02

is raised by the society itself.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

Lot of times, we see that a man

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

or his parents demands

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

doubting,

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

which is

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

something

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

which is not a part of Islam. This

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

is not our tradition.

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

Allah of Warrissa, he gave that man

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

a position, and Allah

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

made him a one caretaker,

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

to uphold the responsibility

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

and do things in his own limit.

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

On the other side, the blind side, they

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

do not want to they don't need to

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

get into such a position that it becomes

00:08:45 --> 00:08:46

a custom

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

to spend lavishly

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

more than what is required and get into

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

issues and problems later on.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

And when it comes to societal problem,

00:08:56 --> 00:09:00

let us not live our lives by the

00:09:00 --> 00:09:00

norms

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

set by the society.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

Societies have been destroyed and perished

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

when they bent against the laws of Allah

00:09:08 --> 00:09:12

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So the hair is

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

the betterment it is

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

in

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

the lying of ourselves

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

to what Allah and His Messenger has said.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

Remember my brothers and sisters,

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

the greatest day

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

for a couple is the marriage day. That

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

should be the day where they should please

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the most.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

When they invest their love, their

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

care, their pleasure for Allah

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53

nurture, they will love, they will be blessed

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

in that relationship than anybody else. So the

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

need is that we must

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

ensure that we do not be among those

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

who spend lavishly in the weddings, in the

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

marriages. Let's be humble.

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

Even though,

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

you know, people who have God's will, they

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

need to understand that they can spend that

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

somewhere

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

else and gain the the pleasure

00:10:18 --> 00:10:18

of

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

the

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

point is, my brothers and sisters, the message

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

of the is

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

let's make our relatives

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

blissful.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

Let's make it really, truly for the pleasure

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so that we,

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37

the the the couple, the families can actually

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

enjoy in that, which is good, which is

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

aafya, which is fair and barakah inshallah, not

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

the other way around.
