Wallahi, the ummah. The ummah needs us, needs

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

every one of us.

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

We are together tonight.

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

Islam has given importance to togetherness.

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

It has given importance to groups,

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

gatherings,

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

getting together

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

as one ummah.

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

It's called jama'a,

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

a group

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

of

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

whom? Of Muslims, people who gather.

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

Jumu'ah, what is it? It's the day of

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

gathering.

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

The day when everybody comes together. What do

00:00:29--> 00:00:30

you gather for?

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

You gather for prayer.

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

You gather in order to listen

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

to a talk known as a khutba

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

that will wake you up,

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

that will give you guidance,

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

that will address some of your fears and

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

concerns, and some of the issues that are

00:00:47--> 00:00:48

affecting you as an ummah.

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

That's what the Jum'ah is all about. And

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

if you don't attend the Jum'ah, can you

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

really call yourself a Muslim?

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

Can you really call yourself a Muslim when

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

you are not bothered about the Jumuah?

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

Let's make an effort, Insha'Allah. We will attend

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

it properly, regularly,

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

arrive on time,

00:01:07--> 00:01:10

and even before the time. And insha Allah,

00:01:10--> 00:01:13

we ask Allah to reward us. So that

00:01:13--> 00:01:16

getting together is very important. This evening we

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

have gotten together

00:01:17--> 00:01:18

15,000

00:01:18--> 00:01:19

or more of us.

00:01:20--> 00:01:23

And Allah Almighty alone knows the conditions of

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

the hearts of each one of us. All

00:01:25--> 00:01:28

of you have issues and problems and difficulties

00:01:28--> 00:01:30

and hardships that you will cry to Allah

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

for because he made you in a way

00:01:32--> 00:01:35

that you have hardships in your life. Not

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

a single one of us can say, I

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

have absolutely no hardship, no difficulty, nothing to

00:01:40--> 00:01:41

call to Allah for.

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

But each one of us, our difficulties are

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

unique to our own lives.

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

I have issues, my problems,

00:01:48--> 00:01:50

my hardships, my difficulties.

00:01:51--> 00:01:52

Allah alone knows them. I know some of

00:01:52--> 00:01:54

them. I may not know even all of

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

them. Allah knows them. But I ask Allah

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

to help me

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

overcome

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

whatever hardship it is and to help all

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

of you in your unique lives, whatever it

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

may be that is bothering you, whatever concerns,

00:02:08--> 00:02:11

make it easy for you.

00:02:08--> 00:02:11

make it easy for you.
