KhutbahBank
By Shaykh Ali Hammuda
No one enjoys being an outsider. Our natural inclination is wanting to belong, to fit in. As Muslims, we are increasingly treated as hostile strangers.

Sheikh Anwar emphasises that Allah, as Al-Dayyān, will restore all rights and judge fairly between the oppressed and the oppressor. No injustice, big or small, will go unaddressed.

* Allah controls everything in the universe, but humans have free choice in faith and actions and are accountable for them.
* Al‑Jabbār mends: He strengthens the weak, heals the sick, enriches the poor, and gives victory to the oppressed.
* When people of power humble themselves before Allah, His mercy descends upon all..”

In this deeply reflective Friday khutbah, Sheikh Anwar Mady calls believers to renew their understanding of tawakkul (reliance upon Allah) through one of Allah’s most essential Names: Al‑Wakīl — the Ultimate Trustee and Disposer of all affairs.
