From now on we will post the weekly Khtubah's we hear in the Mosque in this thread
Girls dont really go to Mosque on Fridays so they can use this thread to post either an intresting speech/lecture they have recently heard
just SUMARISE the main importnat points-there's no need to waffle on
Asalamualaikum!
Well the last khutbah i heard was last week it was about knowledge.
I remember our imam told us that in this world knowledge is really important especially the youth that live in the western parts of the world, for example us.
He said that we need to have the right knowledge to understand Islam. Islam is a way of life and knowledge is part of it. We should also learn and study the seerah of the holy prophet
to be able to follow his sunnah properly.
As in the western world us muslims are named as terrorists n all sorts it's because non muslims always see the bad acts that our ummah performs and not the good things.
It's like the eldest in the house that doesen't pray his namaz its obvious that the younger member is going to follow his steps. As it's been said by many scholars that "actions speak louder then words"
"Duniya toh badalti rehti hai...Ey mere Quaid tuh kabhi Na badal janaa"
Today is Friday so I'm expecting people to post a summary of the khutbah they listened to... so please try and stay awake!
I would say something about the khutbah I listened to last week, but I can't remember....
I'm afraid I don't speak Urdu, unfortunately.
Don't just do something! Stand there.
They do the khutbah in Urdu @ your mosque, MashaAllah! It can't be Regents Park... is it?
At our mosque the actual khutbah is in Arabic but there is an English translation before it.
Can we post salafi khutbahs lol, only joking btw.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
Went to a different mosque for jummah, unfortunately it was just in Arabic with no English translation.
That's fine with me (don't know about others though).
Do you attend any Salafi talks/classes btw?
Well, The Revival is supposed to be non-sectarian... and i doubt many imam's use the pulpit to cause strife... (then again I doubt many use it to benefit the congregation/community...)
"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - David Cameron, UK Prime Minister. 13 May 2015.
No no no.

Did you know that Imam Hanifa was a 'Salafi'? He followed the Qur'an, the Sunnah and the first two generations after the Sahaba.
Don't just do something! Stand there.
He [i]was[/i] the generation after the Sahaba, as he met them.
...so if you follow the Hanafi madhab, or in fact any of the accepted madhabs then you are a 'salafi' in the traditional sense of the word.
Maybe not in the current usage of the word, though.

That is precisely the reason I posted that about Imam Hanifah. It shows the problem with labelling different groups, because the labels themselves mean different things to different people.
That's the problem. Everyone says "We're following the Sunnah of the Prophet, you're not," and the reply from a different group is, "No, WE'RE on the Strait Path, it is you who are misquided."
Thus it has always been. I have heard many people say something along the lines of "This is just today's problem. In the past, Muslim scholars have had differences of opinion and this hasn't caused any fitna between them." Any basic look at Muslim history shows this is no-where near the truth. There have been divisions ever since the Prophet
died, leaving us to 'fend for ourselves'.
One obvious example is the fighting about succession that eventually led to the distinction of Sunni and Shia. Another one is the schism that was occurring between the Medina and Baghdad schools of thought on how to interpret Sharia Law. If it was not for the fact that Imam Shafi'i united the schools, and displayed that differences of opinion are acceptable in Islamic Law, perhaps there would now be even more 'groups' or 'sects'.
The break-up of the Muslim Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the loss of Spain are attributed to a lack of unity and in-fighting. Many of these were motivated by material-lust, but there were issues of Aqida which were contributary too.
We shouldn't complain about the situation, because it has happened by the Will of Allah (swt)! It is part of the test, and we must rise to the challenge!
Don't just do something! Stand there.
Amazing khutbah by Maulana Suleiman. The title is die as a martyr everyday
“Take Aqeedah from the Salaf, learn Adab from the Tableeghi Jamaat, and brotherhood from the Ikhwaan"
"A boat that was carrying many passengers stopped off at a small, remote island to pick up a few supplies, before it was due to set off for the remainder of its journey. The captain of the boat told the passengers that they were allowed to go on land for a short while, but told them that the boat would be leaving soon.
Some of the people stayed on land for a very short time, did all the necessary things they needed to do, before quickly rushing back to the boat. Because of this they got to sit in the best, most comfortable seats.
Some of the others stayed for a little longer, taking delight in the intesting and beautiful plants and flowers on the island. They quickly remembered the boat, however, and returned to it. They got slightly more uncomfortable seats, but were still ok.
Some of the others went quite far in land, fascinated by the wildlife that the island had on it. When the captain called out that the boat was leaving, they rushed back to it, carrying some beautiful flowers. There wasn't much space left on the boat, and they had to sit on narrow seats around the edge. They still had some of the flowers witht them, although they soon died and withered away, and so the people had to throw the remains over the edge of the boat.
Some of the people had wandered very far in land and, although they heard the captain call to them that the boat was leaving, by the time they rushed back the boat had already set sail, and so they were left on the island to slowly die.
The last group were the people who were so mesmorised by what the island had to offer, that they didn't even notice that the captain had called for them, and they were lost in the wilderness of the island, never to be seen again."
The above is a metaphor for the life of this world, and what happens to those who become attached to the temporary, fleeting pleasures of it.

VERY SHORT SUMMARY: The elections for the London Mayor is coming up, so all Muslims should vote!
