“There are many theories about the reason for this Coronavirus outbreak in China. We should be careful not to jump to premature conclusions… Allah alone knows the whole truth.

“The idea that reason, socialism or modern science would replace religion has turned out to be a wish fulfillment fantasy of people who bear a grudge against religion. Usually their children or grandchildren return to religion. Religious rituals and ideas are ubiquitous and continue to evolve as the creative intelligent minds of Homo Sapiens encounter changes in their environment..”

We often misjudge people based on our very limited knowledge of their situation. There can be more than one explanation, and we should always think the best of others.

This inspiring and thought-provoking khutbah is highly recommended. Please share it widely..

“Revelation tells us that muraqabah, vigilance of Allah, is one of the sublimest spiritual stations. We are told too that habituating our heart to such vigilance requires training the heart gradually and step-by-step. Masters of the heart instruct us to accustom ourselves to being mindful and shy of Allah, even if it be for short periods at a time – persevering in this even in our day-to-day affairs, let alone when engaged in acts of worship – until such mindfulness or vigilance becomes part and parcel of our nature; a habit of our heart..”

The Holy Quran offers us numerous examples of Du’a (supplications to Allah). They are not just random prayers. These examples come directly from the life examples of the Prophets. Well known du’a that we recite daily are in fact the prayers of Adam, Ebrahim, Musa, Yunus, Ayyub and many others, may Allah’s peace and blessings be on them all. These prayers show us how to invoke Allah’s help in times of distress, and also how to thank Allah in times of ease.”
