Friday Sermons

Today's khutbah was a general reminder about Allah's mercy towards His servants.  The imam also gave glad tidings to those who have sinned to not give up hope, as Allah if forgiving and merciful.

Friendship wrote: Assalamu alaika Islamipeace. Please do not be deceived by the Imams who do not understand the basics of Islam. They are birds of the same feathers. Allah through the life history i.e the seera of the holy Apostle explained on what conditions He accepts repentance. The holy Apostle further explained. The majority of our sins are of the major category as explained in the first 31 verses of holy Qur'an Chapter 4.  The expiation of these sins is in this world. Please be careful. I hope you will understand what I meant for the Sahabas said:   فما لم يكن يو مئذ الدينا فلا يكون اليوم دينا It is only sins described as Lamama ie. trivial that are forgiven.

Walaikum as-salaam.  Brother, please do not put words into the mouths of others.  The imam at my masjid did not say that sins are just forgiven and that we can just keep sinning.  He was merely saying that those of us who sin should not lose hope of Allah's mercy.  Do you not know what the Prophet said, as mentioned in Sahih Muslim:

"Book 037, Number 6622: Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them."

The only sin that is not forgivable is shirk.  And that is only after we die.  If we die in shirk, we are doomed.  But if we die as Muslims who sinned, we are still given hope.  If we have faith equal to that of a mustard seed, then we will be in Jannah, inshaAllah, as the Prophet stated:

"Book 001, Number 0355: Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: Verily the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Allah will admit into Paradise those deserving of Paradise, and He will admit whom He wishes out of His Mercy, and admit those condemned to Hell into the Fire (of Hell). He would then say: See, he whom you find having as much faith in his heart as a grain of mustard, bring him out. They will then be brought out burned and turned to charcoal, and would be cast into the river of life, and they would sprout aj does a seed in the silt carried away by flood. Have you not seen that it comes out yellow (fresh) and intertwined?"

Do you not see that by your words, you are creating fitnah and divisions among Muslims?  Is that what we need now? 

I thought it was a good idea to start up. Thanks for sharing.
