First Sermon
Allah has 13 attributes the scholars said that it is an obligation to know them
His Existence has no beginning
100 years ago I did not exist
Allah existed and there was no place
He exists as he was
Allah is One without any partner in Godhood
Allah is the Only God
When we say "one" we don't mean in the context of numbers
Allah is the only One who creates
He is Eternal, meaning His Existence is eternal
He has no end to His Existence
He is the Only Creator
There are angels who are in charge of carrying out tasks ordained by Allah
Allah has power over everything
Allah's
Power
is not related to the
mental impossibility
It's mentally impossible for Allah to be in a place
We don't answer yes or no, rather we say "Allah's Power is not related to the mentally impossible things"
He ordered the good and He accepts the good
If a person keeps this in their heart they would be very comfortable
They will not harm you because Allah did not
Will
it
If a person keeps this in their heart they will be at peace
His
Knowledge
does not increase nor decrease because His Knowledge is perfect, just like His other attributes
He Knows everything without any exceptions
When a person remembers that Allah is All-Knowledgable their fear for Allah will grow
We should feel shy when we committ sins
Even if it was 1,000 miles away He will Hear it
This is also something that we should fear in our hearts, Allah
Sees
everything
Allah's Life is not like our life
Allah's Speech is not like our speech
Those expressions are not the Eternal Speech of Allah
Rather those expressions are letters referring to the Eternal Speech of Allah
Whatever you imagine in your mind Allah is different
Everything you imagine in your mind is a creation
This is the most precious knowledge
This is the knowledge of the Religion
Second Sermon
Allaah granted the people many endowments
Like the tongue, hands
Thank Allah for these endowments
Don't use these endowments in a way in which He does not approve
The one who curses Allah is not a Muslim
The Muslim is the one who glorifies Allah at all times
Being angry and intentionally saying is not an excuse for saying
Blasphemy
"Aren't you a Muslim?" He says "No", this takes him out of Islam
The Muslim is merciful
Any term that indicates imperfection to Allah is cursing Allah
Such sayings are wrong, because they
contradict
the Qur'an
The person might say one word
And also they
contradict
the sayings of Prophet Muhammad
The person might say one word which results in him falling the depth of 70 years into hellfire
There is no disagreement among the Muslims
What you say gets documented by the two angels
Protect your tongue from ugly words
Jummah Class
The scholars mentioned theses three categories of
blasphemy
so people can stay away from it
The scholars of the Four Schools said this
blasphemy
of the heart, tongue and body
Among the
blasphemous
beliefs is to believe that Allah has an image
The scholars they said that
Not an involuntary thought a firm belief
If they believe that Allah has a form than he is not Muslim
The person that makes fun of or
belie
hellfire
There is an hell, but it's like a hospital-
blasphemy
The blasphemous action is like prostrating to the sun, moon or a statue
The involuntary thought is not the same
The Shaytan keeps on throwing images of Allah in their mind
He won't believe those things because he has already learned
He didn't say attributes that are like shapes, colors
Allaah is not a body
The one who learned the proper knowledge won't be affected by the misguidance of the Shaytan
Ignorance is never an excuse
Or if they belittle an act of worship
The creed of Islam has to be respected
It's not permissible even if he was angry
Is that an excuse to call the person a son of a fornicator?
That does not reach the severity of
blasphemy
The person is not excused
"I'll be with the dancers in hellfire"
They are belittling the punishment of hellfire
Even if the person was trying to be funny
Anger and joking is not an excuse
There is an excuse for the persoon who has a slip of the tongue
He found his camel he was so excited
And if a person is threatened with death
She was the first martyr
Your heart is not accepting that thing that they want you to say
As long as their heart is not pleased then they do not
blaspheme
Anger and joking are not excuses
We investigate when the person is threated with death
Be awake, this is very important
"Do not get angry" three times
We know that it is not an excuse
If a person falls into
blasphemy
they clear themselves by uttering the two shahadas
With the intention of never returning to that
blasphemy
We don't tell the person "now you have to build a Mosque"
We only say to him "say the Shahada"
The way to enter Islam is not by saying "Astaghfirullah"
Saying "Astaghfirullah" only benefits the Muslim, but the
blasphemer
is not Muslim
The Prophet had lofty manners
This is not something that was known in their society
And facilitate for me what is best for me
He taught him after he became Muslim
It's not valid for the nonbeliever to say "Astaghfirullah"
We need to pay attention to this case that is very important
There is a difference between the two
Some people because of ignorance they recite Qur'an without knowledge
Allaah ordered us in the Qur'an to check back with the scholars if we do not know
That person destroys himself
Whoever talks about the Qur'an without knowledge, even if he is right that person is sinning
Some people they read the Qur'an without knowledge, and they get misguided, thus they destroy themselves
The scholars have knowledge that goes back to the Prophet
There are some things that inevitably have to be explained
If it's the book of a scholar than that's a different issue
And it's also permissible to ask Allah for guidance
He teaches him to ask forgiveness after he embraces Islam
If a person gets angry because of haram than this is permissible
Don't fall into Haram
We get angry when Haram takes place
It's possible that the Kafir his Dua will be answered by Allaah
The supplication of the one who is oppressed
Don't oppress the nonbelievers
For example to enter his home without his permission
