Juma Khutba

 Jummah Khutba

Outgoing Da'wah Approach is required for Success of Islam

On October 8, 2021 Br. Kaukab Siddique gave the Juma' khutba at Masjid jamaat al-Muslimeen in Baltimore.
Here are the main points for distribution online:

Text: "Give food to the hungry, visit the sick and set free the one in captivity."

Prophet Muhammad, pbuh. Volume 7, Book 65, number 287. Bukhari. The family of Muhammad, pbuh, did not eat their fill for three successive days till he, pbuh, died. [Narrated Abu Huraira, r.a.]

  1. Muslims are usually busy debating each other to prove who is a better Muslim. When the Mongols attacked Baghdad, they captured the huge city in only 13 days and burned the libraries and mosques, and sluaghtered thousands.
    Muslim scholars were busy arguing. [Later years Mongols advanced into Palestine asnd were beaten back by Ibn Taymia who only followed Quran and Sunnah.]

  2. The Prophet, pbuh, and his sahaba were not mystics or sufis.

  3. Even when he was alone in Makka, pbuh, the Prophet was constantly urging the idol worshippers to accept Allah alone and to prepare for the Hereafter with good deeds.

  4. None of the sahaba were inwards looking, mystics or sufis. They were constantly organizing to prepare for an Islamic state and helping to create a system of justice and brotherhood/sisterhood. They got their spirituality through the five daily prayers.

  5. They helped the women, the oppressed and the downtrodden, the exploited, to integrate into the outgoing equality- based Islamic way of life.

  6. They prepared to defend themselves against the armies of the oppressors.


  7. Part 2

  8. We must do dawah in an organized way. I have studied how Sunni Islam was introduced in America.

  9. We have forgotten Br. Muzaffarauddin Hamid who introduced Sunni Islam in the 1970s in Washington DC. By Sunni Islam we mean Islam based on the Qur'an and authentic hadith.

  10. He organized a community mosque in Washington and set up institutions and businesses in the Black community.

  11. Owing to my ill health I studied why the Muslims with the Prophet were so healthy and full of vitality.

  12. He had a nutritious life style and did not eat lavish meals. He focused on vegetable nutrition. He only ate meat on Eid al-Adha or after a few battle victories or when people sometimes sent meat as gift.

  13. We Muslims have become meat eaters owing to focus on one or two hadith about then Prophet eating meat.

  14. When the sahaba went out to battle fields, they ate vegetables, leaves and took water.


Let us study and accept the Islamic life style.

May Allah forgive our sins and shortcomings.

[After the khutba, prayers were led by a Senegalese brother.]

 Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan

Obituary
Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan Passes away.

The father of Pakistan's nuclear program passed away this morning.

October 10: Owing to Pakistan's nuclear bombs, India was not able to bully Pakistan.

It is a great shame that the government of Pakistan put him under house arrest after being pressured to do so by the western powers who accused him of helping Libya and North Korea with their nuclear bomb programs.

In the last years of hiis life, Dr. Khan joined the Tehreeke Labbaik based on love of the Prophet, pbuh.

Today, as condolences poured in from across the country, PM Imran Khan relented and ordered a full ceremonial funeral for him with national honors in Islamabad.

JI Research
400 Exposed in Pandora are from Imran's party PTI. Looted billions.

Mithi/Tharparkar: Oct, 7

Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has categorically rejected the NAB Amendment Ordinance as mala fide intention of the government, saying the ruling party has bulldozed the democratic process and spirit of the constitutionto give extension to the chairman of the anti-corruption body.

Talking to JI workers and local politicians here on Thursday, he said the prime minister badly failed to strengthen the system of accountability and honor his long-standing political commitments to introduce a powerful and impartial anti-corruption regime after coming into power.

The accountability, he added, had turned into a joke in the regime of the PTI.

Sirajul Haq reiterated the JI would go to the Supreme Court for fair inquiry into people named in Pandora Papers and Panama Leaks. He rejected the prime minister cell formed to investigate the owners of shell companies. He demanded the ministers and government officials named in the leaks must step down. He said those who made billions of rupees through tax evasion and other illegal ways and stashed their wealth into the accounts of offshore companies must be held accountable. He said on one side people of Pakistan were starving to death and have no access to even basic facilities while on the other side ruling elite were enjoying all luxuries of life and living in palaces. He said the PTI followed the footsteps of the PML-N and the PPP and its claims to bring real change proved pack of lies. Therefore, he said, the people should reject the three parties and vote for the JI in the election to bring the real change. He said the PPP ruled over Sindh for decades but could not provide basic facilities to the people of province.

The JI Emir is on the three-day visit to Sindh. He attended different programs on first day on Wednesday in Karachi and went to Mithi and Islamkot on Thursday. He visited the al-Kidmat Hospital Mithi and appreciated the welfare activities of the JI charity. On occasion, he expressed grief over the loss of human lives and property in earthquake in Harnai, Balochistan and demanded the government compensate the families affected in the earthquake. He directed the volunteers of the al-Khidmat to participate fully in relief activities.

The JI chief addressed Seerat Conference in Islamkot and emphasized on the need of unity among the ranks of Muslim Ummah. He pledged to continue struggle to transform Pakistan into Islamic welfare state. He also addressed a public meeting in the city.

JI Naib Emir Mirajul Huda Siddiqui, Asadullah Bhutto, JI Sindh Chapter Emir Muhammad Hussain Mehanti and other leaders were with the JI Emir during the tour.

Religious Objection Not Working.
by Sis. Aisha
[Jamaat al-Muslimeen]

What would you do if your employer told you that you cannot use a religious objection to avoid getting the COVID-19 vaccine? What if your own religious leaders have decided that getting the COVID-19 vaccine is not against your religion?

On October 4th, in Midtown Manhattan, there was a march protesting the New York State COVID-19 vaccine mandates. October 4th was also the date that public school employees were supposed to all be vaccinated.

Thousands of New York healthcare workers have been terminated for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Several healthcare workers sued New York State before the September 13th mandate went into effect. Thomas More Society is a legal group that fights for religious liberty. They are representing some of the healthcare workers suing New York State over the mandate.

The issue with the mandate is that religious objection is not an option at all for avoiding the vaccine. Many former New York State employees were told to get the vaccine or lose their jobs. Many chose not to get the vaccine. These massive firings have compelled hospitals to cancel elective surgeries and shut down operating rooms. Some nursing homes have had to stop admitting new patients.

This vaccine is made with cells from aborted fetuses. It is for this reason that some practicing Christians object to getting vaccinated. These fetal cells have been used in the development of polio, chickenpox, shingles, and hepatitis A vaccines.

Pope Francis has stated that getting vaccinated is a moral obligation. That is strange to learn that the Pope feels this way knowing the vaccine is made with fetal cells. Catholics have been very vocal against abortion.

The vaccine mandate has created a concept known as Vaccine passports, which are required in New York State, but there are a few other states that are banning them. The concept of "Vaccine passports" is the use of the vaccination card to gain access to certain activities, such as eating at a restaurant or working out at a gym. It has also made a person's private medical choice over vaccinations public record. The following states have laws banning "Vaccine passport" requirements: Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Texas, South Carolina, and South Dakota.

The fact is that vaccinated people can get and transmit COVID-19. Unfortunately, some vaccinated people have died from COVID-19, too. This is why vaccinated people are now being told to wear masks and observe social distancing. Politicians claim that these lockdown restrictions will be lifted once 80% of Americans are vaccinated. Vaccinations do not mean lower COVID-19 infection rates.

If vaccinated people are still prone to getting infected then, how can the COVID-19 infection rates drop simply because of the high rate of vaccinations? It won't drop by much.

COVID-19 is here to stay and so are these restrictions, which is why the protests are extremely important! The restrictions have punished and harmed people who do not have COVID-19. Unvaccinated people are being maligned and treated as if they are spreading COVID-19, although they are not infected.

It is about time people have begun to protest these restrictions.

Hinduism Destroying India thru Hate
Hindutva WAtch


Alishan Jafri and Naomi Barton 8 Ocrober

2021 New Delhi: On September 29, Jagadguru Paramhans Das of Tapasvi Chhawani in Ayodhya issued a widely covered statement saying that he was going to commit 'jal samadhi' - i.e take his own life by immersion in water - unless the Union government declared India a 'Hindu Nation' by October 2. He also called for the termination of the citizenship of Muslim and Christian Indians. Following this announcement, on October 2, Das was put under house arrest with forces deployed outside his ashram to maintain peace with the large crowd who had gathered there in support. Several of his followers had said that if Das committed jal samadhi, they would follow him. In response to the house arrest, Paramhans put out a video stating that even if his original path to the Sarayu river, where he intended to commit jal samadhi was impeded, he would immerse his nose into a can of the water, which he displayed to the camera. By 6 pm that day, he withdrew the threat, and issued a statement saying that unless the Union government declared a Hindu Rashtra, he would undertake a fast unto death with crores of people at the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi. But this time, he gave the government a more extended deadline - November 2023. On September 21, he had put out a video calling for the murder of Christians and Muslims in a Facebook Live session, where he said: "Each of the Christians and Muslims will be driven out. Every Hindu who has been murdered will be avenged. The same way after the rescue of Sita the rakshas were killed, in the same way, those demons who have played with the dignity of our sister, mothers and daughters, those Christians and Muslims who have converted Hindus, those Christians who have killed Hindus, will be avenged. All of us sadhus and sants are prepared for this today. "The end of Christians and Muslims have begun. We have come here and there are many swords and weapons to be seen. We will make them reach all Hindus. Everyone - shastra and shaastra (religious texts and weapons) should be kept. If you see in Durga's hand there is a sword, in Kali's hand there is a sword, keeping weapons is also worship. Shastra and shaastra both - that Hindu who is not in possession of shastra and shaastra he is incomplete."

Female Infanticide is a Mortal Sin
'Assalaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu'.
Narrated Warrad: (The clerk of Al-Mughira) Muawiya wrote to Al-Mughira {Allah have mercy on them}: 'Write to me what you have heard from Allah's Apostle' (SALLALLAHU 'ALAIHI WA SALLAM) so he (Al-Mughira) wrote to him --
Allah's Prophet (SALLALLAHU 'ALAIHI WA SALLAM) used to say at the end of each prayer---
'La ilaha illalla-h wahdahu la sharika lahu, Lahul Mulku, wa lahul Hamdu wa hula ala kullishai' in qadir.
'Allahumma la mani' a lima a'taita, wala mu'tiya lima mana'ta, wala yanfa'u dhuljadd minkal-jadd."

He also wrote to him that the PROPHET ﷺ used to forbid
  1. Qil and Qal (idle useless talk or that you talk too much about others)
  2. Asking too many questions... (in disputed Religious matters)
  3. Wasting one's wealth by Extravagance.
  4. To be undutiful to one's Mother.
  5. To bury the Daughters alive.
  6. To prevent your favors benevolence to others (not paying the rights of others).
  7. Asking others for something (except when it is unavoidable).

Exalted and Glorified is my Lord (ALLAH) and all prayers and praises are due to Him (alone) and I bear witness that there is no any other lord or God except you (ALLAH) I seek your forgiveness and I repent unto YOU.

Narrated by 'Ali, r.a:
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There are six courtesies due from a Muslim to another Muslim:
To give Salam to him when he meets him, to accept his invitation when he invites him, to reply to him when he sneezes, to visit him when he is ill, to follow his funeral when he dies, and to love for him what he loves for himself."

 Islamic Thought

How to oppose Gossip
by Imam Badi Ali

As-slamu alaikum,
How do you deal with people who gossip!
We need to redirect them in a friendly manner.
Yet, it is better to express disapproval and nicely remind them about the harm of backbiting.
It's important not to feed the gossiper with curiosity, agreement and further questions. Rather, simply change the subject.
If however the gossiper persists, we should attempt to defend the person being gossiped about. If they keep backbiting despite the warning, we should leave the area in fear of being dragged into joining the conversation.
Gossiping, rumoring, backbiting all destroy friendships and families and fuels mistrust among community members. Still worth, they destroy our hard-earned hasanat and make us liable to punishment in the hereafter.
