-the prophet saw a man playing with his bear while in salah, on which he commented that a person who is in khushoo (concentrating in salah) his whole body will be in khushoo. i.e his eyes will not be looking aorund, the person will stand straight and firm
-The prohet saw also said "pray as you see me pray" as muslims we love our prophet and so should imitate him in every thing he does.
-When a person stands in obedience to Allah and stands firm with humility and humbility the person will able to repel evil when encountered with it.
- guard your prayers, especially the asr prayer
- if a person does not have hayaa in salaah then a person will lose imaan as the prophet (saw) said a person without hayaa has no imaan
-The person can be a thief if he steals from his salaah. i.e he does not perform his ruku and sujood properly (the bowing and prostration to Allah) these positions are the ones where the slave of Allah is closest to his Lord.
-The importance of praying in jamah was outlined, with the example of a stray sheep being an easy victim for a wolf.

Firstly, I feel I must compliment you Brother_Mujahid for creating such wonderfup topics recently! Keep it up! Mash'Allah (I think)
Secondly, I have no idea about what our Khutbah was about because our imaam speaks in his own language. Believe me, we've tried and tried to change that. Sometimes it's just no use trying to persuade people. Although, here and there he quotes a little Hadith in English now and then. But apart from that . . . . . I might as well do some zikr while he does his khutbah I guess.
"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
He's from Pakistan. So is it punjabi then? I presume it is. We used to have a really knowledgeable scholar ( I think he was a scholar) who used to give a 5 minute speech in English but he's gone now so the whole of the Khutbah is in Pakistani. Theres nothing we can do. We can't sack the imaam, he's a good imaam and we don't really have anyone who's that knowledgeable to give us a speech pr anything in English. (apart from me of course You think they'd be impressed? ) But it's just sooooooooooo stupid. If you come to stay in England permanently then learn English!
"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
No, I'm not Pakistani I'm afraid. I'm from England obviously but my parents were born in Mauritius. I'm learning urdu though. Minzz, Ammar and Mehreen are teaching me. I still don't think you can justify it.
"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
They're teaching me on msn! You could be great you know . . . .
Ok, this is getting off topic. So unfortunately, no I have no idea what my khutbah was about.
I'm sure there are more people that went to Jummah last Friday! Let's hear what yours were about! It's our duty to share our knowledge and learn from each other! Or we could just wait until next Friday . . .
"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
They should speak the Queens English in talks, I feel sorry for guys who dont understand the language being spoken, especially reverts, but the main mosque here speak in Urdu and English during Jummah, and the Imam gives an hour talk every friday after maghrib in english, he is a great brother. But smaller mosques always give the talk in urdu.
"Lo! the Hour is surely coming, there is no doubt thereof; yet most of mankind believe not." (Al-Ghafir:59)
i mUst say Talks in Urdu are Affective and feels realy Different .. compared to the english Talks.. Alhumdulillah English talks are good as well... but its nt as affective as Urdu ones..
The Prophet said, "Nobody who enters Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on the earth, except a Mujahid who wishes to return to the world so that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he receives (from Allah)."
Well, I'm not going to stay in Warrington forever so InshaAllah when I am older I will move to a place where they deliver Khutbah in English too. (Although I will be a pro at urdu by then)
"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
Since ramadan is in the horizon I'll make it a point to say only beneficial things. So this is what I learned in jumuah kutbah 2day (sep 30, 2005);
1. Allah tests those people whom he loves. (if ur being tested allah loves u)
2. Allah tests the people with the thing which they love.
3. Because the human heart can only love 1 thing at a time.
4. So that Allah may purify the heart of the other thing which they love.
Example of the story in quran. prophet ibrahim as. loved 2 have a son, so when Allah gave him a son (ismael) in his old age he was happy. so Allah tested him to slaughter his son to focus his love only on Allah. so he did as he was told but allah stopped him and he took him as a khalil (very close friend).
5. If you love your parents, spouses etc. then that love comes as a result of you loving Allah.
I have a very suspicious feeling, very very suspicious, and I maybe wrong, and the hint is ever so subtle so maybe some of you missed it, but maybe, do you think maybe she wanted us to post what our Khutbahs were about too???
