People Ask and the Quran Answers Khutbah in Perth CBD organized by Perth City Musallah Association 03/06/2022
In this day and age of confusion between Truth and Falsehood, advancement of technology to the amazement of most people, godlessness on the rise, some individuals gaining and possessing unbelievable amounts of wealth.... Individuals possessing amounts of money to the extent that they can buy or influence the mass media, the justice system, the health system and so on. There is a claim by one of their leaders that they have over 50% of politicians in a Government under their control and this is happening not in some poor country (or third world countries as they call) but in a western country.
Have any Muslims been bought as well, have any Muslims too submitted to these things - question for all Muslims (specially those in leading roles) to look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves.
So in this day and age when all the things just mentioned are happening, it is possible that we Muslims could get impacted, get influenced, get carried away, get forced into, give into subjugation to false systems/concepts/people thinking that they can protect and save us, they can help and assist us in rising in the duniya and so on and thus slowly begin to loose our iman and could even end up becoming like them. This is the danger.
So Dear Muslims let us remind ourselves a bit of the One we believe in and Submit to and that should set things right, we can then differentiate between the Creator and the Creatures and you will see or remind yourself of who actually is in control.
- Who is the creator? Quran 40:64, 39:6, 7:54 & 10:31-32
- Who is Allah? Quran 59:23-24, 20:14, 2:255, 35:13, 3:18 & 3:51
- Did people think that Allah created us only for play and without any purpose? Quran 23:115
- For what purpose did Allah create mankind? Quran 51:56
- What did Allah command us to do? Quran 4:58, 6:151
- From where shall we seek guidance? Quran 1:6
- Who shall we invoke in time of disaster? Quran 29:65, 10:12
- What happened to the previous nations when they disobeyed Allah? Quran 29:40
- What is the religion of Allah? Quran 3:19
- What is the religion accepted by Allah? Quran 3:85
CONCLUSION: Every now and then we should remind ourselves of these things, so that we can stick to our Islamic roots, so that we can continue to hold tight to the rope of Allah. Going after duniya is easy, anyone can do that, but working for Akhirah and making ourselves eligible to be successful on the Day of Judgement requires hard work and sacrifices. Finally dear Muslims, if we achieve duniya and lost akhirah, then we have lost it all and if we loose duniya (yaani even if we don’t achieve much in duniya) but if you have secured your Akhirah… then you are the Real Winner.
