First Khutbah
O People fear Allah and repent to him. Servants of Allah the brain is a
favor and a bounty, which Allah bestowed upon humankind to
differentiate between good and evil, and truth and falsehood, with the
brain, humankind is distinguished from the animals.
In many places in the book of Allah comes the mention of the brain as
Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala says which translates as: "…Indeed in this are
signs for those who have understanding" (Aal-Imran: 190). So, the
people of understanding are requested by Allah in the Quran to
understand what is meant by the verses. If the human being neglects the
brain and leaves it for the diversion and the misguidance of ignorance
this will lead the brain to believe in nonsense superstitions and to
have destructive thoughts. From the darkness of superstitions and myth,
distorted religions are started.
Our talk today is about one of these distorted religions. About a
devious belief, a popular, and widespread misguidance. It is a belief
of those whose efforts are lost in the worldly life while they think
that they are doing well in work.
It is Christianity, this false belief and its adherents are the people
whom Allah Azza Wa Jall described in Suratul Fatiha (the foundation of
the book) as those who are astray and misguided.
We will start and think about their belief and ponder upon their
history that is filled with hatred, spitefulness, and wars against
Islam and Muslims.
In this distorted religion that is adopted by many people in the world,
we see how a Christians are diverted and far astray, when they speak of
the principle of the trinity or the Lord as the father, Issa Alaihi
Sallam as the son and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, they claim three in
one God.
When you research this claim that is supposed to be in their ancient
books and beliefs, it is not found. In examining their belief about the
prophet Issa, Alaihi Salatu Wa Salam you, see that they see him as the
son of Allah. Exalted is Allah and high above what they say by great
sublimity.
Christians are those who claim that Issa Alaihi Salatu Wa Sallam was
crucified on the cross and his hands were nailed and he was crying
aloud when he was crucified on the cross. "O My Lord why did you betray
me?” This happened, they claim as a sacrifice for the sins of the son
of Adam.
Allah says which translates as: "O People of the scripture do not
commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the
truth"(An-Nisa’: 171). The messiah Issa, the son of Mary was but a
messenger of Allah and his word, which he directed to Mary. So, believe
in Allah and his messenger, and do not say three. Allah says which
translates as: "Woe, to them for what their hands have written, woe to
them, for what they have earned" (Al-Baqarah: 79).
Myth and superstitions differed in Christianity in order for the Church
to have different methods and ways to play around with peoples minds,
like the distributions of indulgences, where they would forgive sins
and grant paradise, thus people were driven out of the Church by the
priest.
Christianity gives birth to all superstitions and deviations.
Deviations, which Allah mentioned His Book. He says which translates
as: "They have certainly disbelieved those who say, Allah is the
messiah, the son of Mary, while the messiah had said:" O Children of
Israel worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord indeed he who associates
others with Allah, Allah has forbidden him paradise, and his refuge is
the fire and there are not for the wrong doers any helpers"(Al-Ma’idah:
72).
These are some of the corrupt beliefs of these people, and the
Qur’an answers and refutes their corrupt beliefs, calling
them disbelievers while some Muslims refrain and abstain from calling
them that.
Christianity became a myth that attacked the Prophecy of Issa the son
of Maryam Alaihi Sallam, changed it, and made its day-night and its
peace-distress. They made unity association in the belief of the
trinity, regressed, deteriorated humankind, and made his concern and
his motives attached to communion and blind puzzling beliefs.
With this great deviation you still see many of the Muslims whom Allah
blessed with this most honorable and exalted religion, and blessed them
with knowledge, yet he does not know about Christianity except for
their slogans of love, and sincerity, forgiveness, and sacrificing
their live to serve the needy and other distorted slogans. They
announce principles from their book and their radio stations. These are
the same principles that Islam approves and commands to, without
distortion.
After which there are some misguided people wanting to establish the
idea of bringing all religions together as though the differences are
minor and can disappear by holding meetings that have political agendas.
Brothers in religion and faith, this is the situation of Christianity
and Muslims have lived with it - periods of enmity throughout the
history. From the time Islam started, Christians initiated war against
Islam and the Muslims.
Allah said they would not accept Islam as He says in the Qur’an, which
translates as: "And never will the Jews and the Christians approve of
you until you follow their religion"(Al-Baqarah: 120).
The Christian enmity against Islam started from the first day when the
king Ghassan the Christian, fought the messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu
Alaihi Wa Sallam) and sent two hundred thousand fighters to Muta'a to
face three thousand of the companions of the messenger (Salla Allahu
Alaihi Wa Sallam). In the battle of Yarmouk the Christians came to
fight the Muslims with a force of two hundred and forty thousand
fighters carrying the cross, led by their priests and monks, but Allah
subjugated them and the Romans were expelled from Syria and Egypt.
Through all of this, the Muslims treated them according to Islamic
rules. They war hostages were not killed, they were not tortured, and
residents of cities were not harmed. Rather they each person was
granted his right as per the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the
Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam), so much so that many of them
accepted Islam.
The hate and spitefulness of the Christians translated into preparing
the crusade to fight Islam on its own ground. They called it the
crusade, sacred war under the supervision of their priests and they
committed all atrocities in the countries that they entered. They
killed in Mu’arat Annu’aman for example more that one hundred thousand
Muslims, and then their troops went to Jerusalem with the support and
help of the Christians from Syria, with a force of a thousand fighters.
They entered Jerusalem after they gave guarantees to its people not to
harm them. They then entered and killed them for three continuous days.
They killed more than seventy thousand Muslims to the extent that their
horses was stepping into blood and dead bodies in Jerusalem. They
remained in Jerusalem nine years until the Muslim the leader
Salahuddeen forced them out.
In Spain, it was a sad and bloody incident. When the Christians took
control over Ghoornata'a the last fortress of the Muslims in Spain.
They committed every atrocity after they gave guarantees and promises,
and they did not respect the sanctity of anything.
They established search courts for Muslims. Its duty was to search for
Muslims and to force them to apostatize, change their names and customs
until they were able to wipe out the existence of Muslims in these
countries except for some left over ruins. Then the crusades started
again but in a different shape. It took the shape of Colonists and
Imperialists.
They stole the resources under the banner and cover of guardianship and
organization of the country. They took control of the Muslim countries
that suffered from the fire of wars. Wars that was well planned with
very evil intentions. Wars of faith initiated out of hatred, hatred
against Islam, and its people. It is an old bond between the
contemporary Christians and the old ones, the actions of their leaders
testify to that. Under the name of the war between the crescent and the
cross, the Christians in the Muslim countries, East, West, North, and
South started killing innocent people, like what happened in Bosnia and
Kosovo, under the claim of ethnic cleansing. In part of the
Philippines, they eradicated them and displaced them. In Eritrea,
through the Christian Organizations that are attached and established
by the Church, they spread their religion by any means, by use of
money, taking advantage of the weakness of the Muslims hunger and their
affliction with diseases. In exchange for food, medicine and clothes
they encouraged them to leave their religion.
It is the aid from the Christians on one hand and on the other hand,
the cross, which in the course of time has made the Muslims heedless
and unaware of what, is being planned and plotted against them. They
were deceived by the materialistic progress of their civilization. The
plans of the Christians spread by they utilizing their financial
institutions, media and social institutions to corrupt the Muslim
communities and to wage a ruthless war against the religion of Islam
and the Muslims and their morals.
By spreading distorted information about Islam and calling it
fundamentalism and terrorism, this war had a great effect on the spirit
of Muslims and their communities. The Christians are loyal and
supportive to all enemies of Muslims, to anyone who wages war against
Muslims, or captures their land. As Allah says which translates as:
"And the disbeliveers are supporters and allies of one
another…"(Al-Anfal: 73).
They have become dominant, arrogant and presumptuous over the Muslim
issues with their deception, and under the name of finding solutions,
resolving problems, fighting extremism, radicalism and establishing
peace - the truth was lost and false hood was established, and the
Muslim issues were betrayed. The terrorism of those who were fighting
Muslims became peace and organization. The continuous siege of the
Muslim countries, starving their children became an act of discipline,
and a punishment with no reversal.
Brothers in Islam, Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala says which translates as:
"O You who have believe do not take the Jews and the Christians as
allies, they are infect allies of one another. And whoever is an allies
to them among you, then indeed he is of them indeed Allah guides not
the wrong doing people"(Al-Ma’ida: 51).
O You who have believed in Allah and his messenger, the heart of the
Christians by which they hated us, are still in their chests. The
weapons by which they fought us are still in their hands. The hatred
and spitefulness that blinded them the day they came as Colonists and
invaders is still boiling in their chests. Their enmity against the
Muslims is deep in their chests.
We must know my brothers in Islam that, with Islam, we are strong, we
have our honor, and without it, we are humiliated and an easy victim to
any attacker. The might and honor of this nation and the glory of the
people of the truth cannot be accomplished, and will not be established
until and unless we hold on to this religion with strong belief, faith
and practice, truly, sincerely and justly. Accepting what is lawful as
lawful and what is prohibited as prohibited. Steadfast in our
positions, strong in our loyalty and not be shaken by threats or
temptations. Whoever accepts this life or feels burdened from bearing
hardships and did not honor his religion, then he will never
accomplished glory and distinction, nor can he preserve rights.
We ask Allah to guide us to the right path. The path of those upon whom
He has bestowed His favor and not of those who have evoked His anger or
of those who are astray.
Second Khutba
Servants of Allah fear Allah. Brothers in faith, when we speak about
Christians, we clarify by this, their faith, and belief that led them
to deviate, we clarify their misguidance and their superstitions and
myths. We present and expose the reality of their enmity through the
history and throughout time. By this, we warn of them and strengthen
the sense of loyalty and support between the Muslims. This great
principle that is lost in the heart of many Muslims, to the extent that
you see some of them loving, caring, and being close to the Christians
and other disbelievers. They weep and ask for mercy when one of them
dies.
Some Muslims are fond of some of their immoral stars and feel
sympathetic when they are afflicted with hardship. Are they heedless
and unaware that they hate Muslims and are the enemies of Islam?
As Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala says which translates as: "O You who have
believed do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending
to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of
the truth…"(Al-Mumtahinah: 1).
When will the loyalty to Muslims, and hatred to disbeliveers be
strengthened, and the hearts of Muslims not be inclined towards them -
Christians or others, and not trust them, and take them as allies.
We ask Allah to make Islam and Muslims honored and to humiliate falsehood and its people.
