Alhamdulilah it is a blessed day of Jumuah today . In UK we still have few hours till Magrib. I hope we can share our experience and knowledge every Friday on this thread .
Everyone who can understand their khutbah or understand a little, what did you learn? What topic was the speaker on about? What useful gem did you pick up?
And sisters if you stayed at home, maybe you listened to a lecture or learnt something new on day of Jumuah? Share .

Todays Khutbah was about Hypocrisy and Backbiting.
“On the authority of Abd-Allah ibn Amr (ra) that RasulAllah (saw) said: “Four traits whoever possesses them is a hypocrite and whoever possesses some of them has an element of hypocrisy until he leaves it: The one who when he speaks he lies; when he promises he breaks his promise; when he disputes he transgresses; and when he makes an agreement he violates it.”
(Bukhari; Muslim)
"O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deed some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful." [Quran 49:12]
It was about pride and arrogance again. This is the fourth week or so. It's about the same thing again and again. If you possess even the tiniest morsel of pride in your body then you will burn in hell.
“They are those from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise ___ a promise of truth, which they have been promised”
Not sure. Kept falling asleep. The people next door have been oppressively noisy just this week and I have not been getting any sleep, so kept nodding off during Jummah. It's not good I know, but I need sleep I guess.
The khatib today was an old man. To be honest, his khutbah was bit confusing because the topic was too spread and not focus.
And suddenly I realized the common difference between old khatib and young khatib who give Jum'ah khutbah in my masjid. Khutbah topic from old khatib often too spread and not focus. And they often lengthen the sentences that actually unnecessary. Sometime old khatib recite ayah too with style like in Qur'an contest. Different than young khatib which their khutbah topic always focus, and deeper. They also avoid use unnecessary words.
Probably this difference caused by different method of Islamic teaching between old generation and young generation.
1. Knowledge without practice,
2. wealth without expenditure in the way of Allah,
3. piety for the sake show, prompted by worldliness,
4. and long life with no stock of good deeds.
One of the things that happened during the ascension is 50 prayers reduced to 5 prayers a day. Subhan Allah.
And the Qur'an verse was mentioned:
"Glory to (Allah) Who did take His Servant for a Journey by nightfrom the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque,
whose precincts We did bless,
- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs:
for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things)." [Qur'an 17:1]
In order to practice his Sunna one must have knowledge about his noble life and practices. This invaluable knowledge and wisdom can only be obtained through the hadiths. The thousands of authentic hadiths reported by most reliable individuals are indisputable source of information in relation to the Sunna of the prophet. The noble prophet (pbuh) was the most beloved servant of Allah and emulating him will bring believers closer to Allah. Therefore, observing his Sunna is the best method of following the prophet and it is the most excellent way of displaying one’s love towards the noble Messenger of Allah.
This is a Khutbah which was Given by a Sheikh from Kano (Nigeria)
"Every human is a slave. You're either a slave of your desires or a slave of Allāh. You either live life by your rules or the rule of Allāh.
How can the heart travel to God if it's chained by its desires?
O' son of Adam! Sell this World for the hereafter and you win both, sell the hereafter for this world & you lose both. #DeenOverDunya
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah
Islam is not a buffet where you pick and choose what suits you. Don't obey your desires. Obey Allaah.
"Imprisoned is he, whose heart is imprisoned from Allāh. Captured is he, who is captured by his desires."
Fudayl Ibn Iyad was asked "What do you find the strangest of all things?" He said: The heart that knows Allāh, yet still disobeys Him
Don’t miss Salāh for the sake of people. You were born & will die alone, you’ll go to the grave alone & be questioned alone on Judgment Day

الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ
Close friends, on that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous and God fearing..." •[Surah Az-Zukhruf:67]
Fajr you're asleep, Zuhur you're busy, Asr you're tired, Magrib you're watching tv, Isha you're eating. You can dodge prayer, but not death.
We prepare for uncertain matters in our life like marriage etc but do we prepare for the one event that is definitely going to happen #Death
The first thing a slave will be held to account for is Salah. If we fall short on that, then we will fall short on what's to come.
Fajr: Do not fear missing sleep. Fear a day in which there will be no sleep.”
Expecting Paradise whilst neglecting Prayer, is like waiting for a train to arrive at the airport. Remember to pray Dhuhr
Everyone dreams to be in Jannah, but Allahﷻ says:
لَّيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ
paradise is not obtained by your wishful thinking •[An-Nisa 4:123] #work hard 4 hereafter
"If you could hear the sound of the pens of the angels writing your name among those who remember Allāh, you'd die out of joy." -Ibn Al-Qayyim
This Dunya Is Not A Resting Place It's A Testing Place! #Earn Good Deeds!
The world is a prison for the believer and a Paradise for the unbeliever". [Muslim] Your release here, sooner or later will be coming to an end.
Ibn Al-Qayyim (رحمه اللّٰه):
"He whom Allah has predestined to enter Paradise, the reasons which will cause his entrance shall spring from calamities;
He whom Allah has predestined to enter the Hellfire, the reasons which will cause his entrance shall spring from lusts”
Get used to a rough life, for luxury does not last forever. -Umar ibn Al Khattab
Do not be overly pleased by easy times. Verily,gold is tested for its purity by fire. Likewise,a righteous servant is tested by tribulations
It pains me to see born Muslims chasing the lifestyle of the disbelievers by drinking, clubbing, getting high etc.
Why do you think reverts run away from that life to the deen of Allāh. Run back to your Lord for His mercy overcomes His wrath.
How long will the person be happy with his worldly life?..Knowing that his ultimate home is the grave"
No matter how beautiful your face is, you will still be the food of worms when you are buried. Set aside your arrogance & remember your grave
Every single limb & organ in your body will speak up & bear witness against every action you committed in this Dunya
مَّا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ
Not a word is said except that there is a watcher by him ready to record it.” [Surah Qaf:18] This includes all that you posted.
Hijab includes the way a person walks, talks, looks and thinks. All of it should be done modestly and applies to both men and women" #Hijab
My dear sisters in Islam. Cover up for the sake of Allah before its too late as today you are over the soil but tomorrow you may be under it
Yes hijab doesn't necessarily indicate your level of piety BUT it is fard (a must). So regardless of what you say, you HAVE to wear it.
Make tawba (sincere repentance) not just for sins you've committed, but also for obligations you haven't fulfilled.” [Ibn Taymiyyah]
I pray that the comfort of our graves exceeds the comfort of our beds.
We ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to take our souls away when He's most pleased with us and make us of those who're always conscious of the Al-Gayb (unseen)
