Knowing Allah

Only Allah knows what you went through

By Omar Suleiman

When the world falls silent and it feels like no one truly understands the depth of your struggles, remember that your pain is never invisible to Allah. Even when the strongest hearts feel vulnerable and words fail to explain what you are going through, Allah sees every hidden tear and knows exactly what you have endured. This moving khutbah serves as a comforting reminder that when human empathy reaches its limits, divine mercy and understanding are infinite.

The Deception of Dunya: Football, Faith & True Success

By Basharat Ali

This thought provoking khutbah cautions us to keep the balance between our enjoyment of sport and other worldly activities, and our ultimate goal of enjoying Allah’s good pleasure in His Eternal Garden.

Al‑Haleem: Understanding Allah’s Forbearance

By Shaykh Anwar Mady

Allah is patient and forbearing, but there is a limit that we must not exceed. A single sincere good deed may outweigh many sins, and a small sin can lead to downfall.

Making the Dunya Serve You, Not Control You

A key theme of the khutbah is the distinction between having the dunya in one’s hand versus in one’s heart. If it is in the hand, the person is in control and uses resources responsibly for Allah’s pleasure; if it is in the heart, it controls behaviour, priorities, and identity. The Sheikh illustrates this with examples such as wealth and consumer culture, warning against modern pressures—like marketing and social trends—that create artificial needs and fuel endless desire..

Al-Dayyān: The Ultimate Judge and the Reality of Accountability

By Shaykh Anwar Mady

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. Through stories and examples, including reflections from scholars and historical figures, he highlights the certainty that worldly power, wealth, and privilege are temporary, while divine accountability is inevitable.

The People of Jannah: Wisdom, Covenant, Kinship, Patience, and Spending from Allah’s Trust

By Essam Mahgoub

Central to the khutbah is the contrast between those who recognise what Allah revealed as truth and those whose hearts are “blind”—a spiritual blindness—emphasising that true guidance is taken by ulul al-albāb (people of sound wisdom). He stresses that Allah praises wisdom rather than raw intelligence, because wisdom leads to right choices and righteous living…
