Sheikh Sudais for Khutbah in Makkah today. Here’s a translation given by Mufti AK Hussain from Channel Islam International.. He gave a summary translation which I have paraphrased, so all errors are from my side:
First Khutbah
-Sheikh Sudais praised Allah and sent salaat and salaam on Nabi (s.a.w) and advised people to have Taqwah
-The topic for today was on technology
-He spoke about the merits of technology, eg. Enabling the ease of communication etc. and that technology is a manifestation of the greatness of Allah
-With the technology that we have, some people use this technology to cause wars and division among others… technology is used against Islam and the blood of Muslims is being spilt… technology is used to kill the innocent…
- When using technology, people are not concerned about the shari’ah,culture and good manners
-Muslims should stay away from evil
-Sheikh then goes on to mention 9 etiquettes involved in the use of technology:
1) Worship Allah and thank Allah for the technology
2) Use it only when there is a need eg. Cellphone: Phone when it’s convenient for others i.e not late at night… Don’t cause disturbance to others with it eg. Sick people, people who are asleep
3) One should greet people before speaking to them (السلام عليكم)
4) Keep your speech brief. Our speech is being recorded. We are prevented from 3 things as in the Hadeeth: “chit-chat” (قيل و قال), asking too many questions and wasting wealth. Ali (R.A.) said: “The tongue is the translator of the intellect”
5) Carrying tales is forbidden. A person who listens to other peoples conversation (while they do not want him to hear it) will have molten lead poured in his ears as punishment.
6) Musical tones on phones is forbidden. It is a form of imitating non- Muslims
7) In Baytullah, some people cause disturbance to Musallis by allowing their phones to ring. We should show respect to the signs of Allah and switch off the phones when entering the Haram.
8) Driving while using the cell phone causes accidents
9) To parents: Take care of your children. If they have a cell phone, then they should be taught the responsibilities that go with it. They should be shown mercy when they are being taught before reprimanding them. We are all shepards and responsible for our flocks.
-Some Muslims cause harm to other Muslims. Those that love to spread vulgarities regarding the Mu’mineen will have a painful punishment.
-use technology, don’t abuse it
Second Khutbah
-Praises to Allah and salaat and salaam on Nabi (s.a.w)
-leisure time should be spent for Allah
-technology should be used to spread Islam and teach Islam
- It should not be used for haraam eg. To cause division
- It should be used for positive and not negative
- This is the age of the Muslims. This is when Muslims should take the initiative. This century is for us.
- The neighbouring countries are not at peace. People have run away from their homes.
- Regarding the earthquake, he spoke highly regarding how the authorities had handled the situation.
-Salaat and salaam on Nabi (s.a.w)
-Dua, which included dua for Al Masjidul Aqsa
Sheikh Hudhaifiyy gave Khutbah in Madeenah and spoke about Bid’ah
و السلام عليكم
