  • Khutbah 21 June 2024 - Faraid and Family Welfare

    It is essential to remember that Allah s.w.t has decreed the legislation regarding inheritance or faraid. When something is decreed by the Most Knowledgeable, there is surely wisdom in it.

    Although faraid stipulates specific shares for heirs, Allah SWT also encourages that any surplus obtained after the distribution should be shared among other family members, including those who are not direct heirs.

    Apart from the distribution of inheritance through faraid, there are several estate planning instruments that can be utilized by individuals during their lifetime, such as wills, nomination of gifts, and others.

  • Aidilfitri Sermon 2024: Fostering a Confident and Resilient Religious Life

    Ramadan has taught us the value of mercy in life. It has nurtured within us the meaning of goodness, and instilled in us timeless wisdom. 

    Let us reflect on our individual weaknesses. A confident, resilient, and empowered community is built upon three pillars. Firstly, deepening knowledge and understanding of religion. Secondly, nurturing noble morals and values. And thirdly, fostering a culture of contributing towards goodness. Let us contemplate these three pillars.

  • Aidiladha Sermon 2024: Sacrifice Begets Taqwa and Goodness

    The ritual of sacrifice that we perform every year aims to strengthen the hearts that are pious and good.

    The central principle of ihsan or benevolence in a Muslim’s life should drive us as Muslims to act now, not only to act when the damage has already occurred.

    As Muslims who lay claim to be Allah’s khalifah on this earth, it is imperative that we preserve and protect our environment. We should be at the forefront in contributing to solutions to these existential challenges.

  • Khutbah Tamil 24 May 2024 - Children: Between Trust and Gratitude

    Our children are a special gift from Allah, and at the same time, a responsibility.

    Children require a positive environment within the family, one filled with love, affection, and the best security.

    Children require continuous guidance. It is upon us to ensure that children are kept away from ideas and actions that incur the displeasure of Allah s.w.t.

    • Khutbah 22 Sept 2023 (Tamil) - The Story of Prophet Muhammad SAW Safeguarding Trust
      • We are now in the blessed month in which our Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) was born. He was a person who tirelessly strived to spread the religion of Islam.
      • The Prophet (s.a.w.) encountered a thousand and one tests in carrying out his responsibilities. Some strongly rejected his call to Islam, turning friends into foes and severing relationships. Despite being called "al-Amin" which means “the Trustworthy” in the past, he was still subjected to insults and ridicule.
      • Yet, the Prophet (s.a.w.) remained patient in the face of adversity.  He did not negatively respond to the wrongs done to him, even after Allah granted him victory. Instead, he chose forgiveness over enmity

      • Khutbah 29 Sept 2023 (Tamil) - The Story of Prophet Yunus Finding Wisdom in Challenges
        • Prophet Yunus (a.s) never lost faith in Allah, glorifying Him through praises and acknowledging his own weaknesses. This is the essence of true servitude. This essence is manifested through the remembrance (zikr) and manifested through his actions - especially when he experienced difficulties.
        • As humans, we are bound to face difficulties and challenges that are inevitable in life. The pangs of sadness, disappointment, and despair are all too familiar to us. The loss of loved ones, financial struggles, job hunting can leave us feeling helpless and vulnerable.
        • But in these moments of darkness, we must not lose sight of our faith in Allah. For He is the light that guides us through the shadows, the beacon of hope that illuminates our path. We must not falter, nor should we give up. Instead, we must seek wisdom and goodness in every challenge that we face.

        • Khutbah 8 Sept 2023 (Tamil) - Prophet Musa Knowledge is the Key to Faith
          • The story of Prophet Musa (a.s) teaches us the importance of referring to those who are more knowledgeable than us regarding the particular field or sector. Indeed, it is our responsibility to keep going back to the subject matter experts. If the issue at hand is related to medicine, then we should speak to a medical professional. Similarly, when it comes to religious matters, we should direct our queries to certified Asatizah.
            • In this day and age where information is widely available and accessible to all, it is important that we become more critical about our sources of reference. This is because sometimes the information that we find online are neither credible, nor are they in line with the accepted understanding of our religion. In fact, there are individuals out there who use religion for their own benefit and to promote their personal interest or agenda.

            • Khutbah 25 Aug 2023 (Tamil) - Being Accountable for Our Own Speech
              • The verse 18 in Surah Qaf urges every individual to be accountable for all the words that they utter. Consider this, my brothers and sisters: Everything we say, every word we utter, will be recorded by the angels. Our words will then bear witness for us, or against us in the Hereafter.


                • The rapid development of information technology has enabled every individual to have easy and ready access to information. All sorts of information are available online, including information related to an individual's personal life. Additionally, anyone can share their opinions online, and on various social media platforms. The internet gives freedom for its users to express his or her opinion without any limits.


                  • Think first about the soundness and the potential impact of our opinion before speaking. Remember that our words have the power and effect to influence others. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, we must be sensitive and careful with the words we utter, so that we are not questioned in the Hereafter.
