The Hand & the Heart - Abdal Hakim Murad

In this Friday Sermon, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad warns us that materialism and desire for reputation only leads to anxiety and distracts us from reality, whilst reminding us that criticism, no matter the form, should not make us forget our duty as Muslims.

I may pray Jumuah at my local mosque but this is where my jumuah is. Countless gems in our tradition being channelled through the blessed Shaykh.

Well said ❤

[@Azeem259]

Jummah is wherever believers gather to worship our creator and every gathering is blessed. It is not proper to denigrate any gathering of believers. May allah bless and accept all our communities.

[@007kash007]

@@Azeem259 Brother, of course we partake in the congregation and if it was belittled, then we wouldn't go. The essence of the Jumuah is the khutbah. Muslims from every part of the city attend and even the villager is encouraged to come to town to hear the weekly sermon. It's supposed to be a time to connect the community so we all travel as one body. It sets goals, aims and gives us reminders. Brings us back to Allah. Unfortunately I am not Arabic proficient, so it is difficult for me to take something when I attend. The Shaykh words fill the void.

[@fatimah9202]

I looked at the people With a critical eye And found fault in everyone I looked at myself With a critical eye And found goodness in everyone I gazed longingly At blessings the people possessed And became unhappy I began to gaze at the blessings I possessed And became forever grateful I waited for people to greet me And became haughty I greeted the people first And became humble I expected people to forgive me And became arrogant I began to forgive people And became compassionate I thought others blameworthy And my ego inflated I believed myself blameworthy And my conscious responded I watched those who strived for the world And became complacent I watched those who sacrificed for deen And became productive I looked towards the worldly folk to emulate And lost myself I looked towards the Godfearing people And found myself I looked for a middle road in life And found it in Islam I searched for the ideal Human being And found my beloved Rasoollullah ﷺ I searched everywhere for Peace And found it In the Remembrance of Allah

Beloved do not grieve Look around and you will see, That the sky is still blue And the sun still shines And the birds still sing the praises of Allah And the evergreen flowers still kindly bloom And when darkness falls, the night awakens By the glorious moon and the twinkling stars And the breeze still blows to clear the air The trees still shed leaves to enrich the earth The rain still falls and the rivers still flow And the grass is still fresh and green The hens still lay the gorgeous eggs And the cows still provide the nourishing milk And the cat still purrs, while the dog still barks And the female still carries the miracle As the babies still cry and suckle And when I smile at you You smile back to me So ponder upon the beautiful creation of our Lord At the break of dawn and the coming of dusk For in contemplation and remembrance of Allah The Creation finds the sanctuary And our faith is surely strengthened While our hearts rest in peace And whilst you read the Kalimah beloved The world will not reach the end

For the scorching fire of Hell Will not die out Like the fires from the piercing bullets The treacherous grenades And the murderous bombs, of the cruel oppressors And glad tidings for the Martyrs Who are surely 'Alive' Indeed the everlasting blaze of Hell Awaits in anticipation Those who oppress Humanity And where Death is no more There is no Escape O Ummah of broken hearts! Keep calm! For the gardens of Eden Where the rivers flow And the gentle breeze, cause the trees to rustle In the sweetest melody Under the shade of the glorious Throne Will abide forever Those who are patient, grateful and compassionate And love and help each other For the sake of Allah O Ummah of broken hearts! Keep calm! For there will be no pain, or loss or sorrow in Paradise But peace and joy and everlasting love And most precious of all The pleasure of Ar-Rahman, our merciful Lord O Allah! Please have mercy on thy creation Guide all mankind to the path to Paradise And save Humanity from the path to Hell For the sake of they most beloved Prophet ﷺ Surely if the tyrants knew the Truth They would not be oppressors Indeed it's not the eyes that do not see But the hearts that are blind O Ummah of broken hearts Keep calm!

When you criticise a picture Created by an artist You in fact criticise the abilities of the producer And not the picture But when you see people who's features or stature Does not to appeal to 'your' gaze And you feel a desire to criticise Remain silent Pause and reflect Then say Masha-Allah Lest you jest for fun And break the heart Shaking the celestial 'Throne' Falling from the esteem of Allah For Allah has created the beautiful features and stature Of every human being, carefully with love And the countenance with his own hands The artist would benefit with genuine criticism And you may find fault in his work If you have the expertise in his field But your Lord needs not your judgement about his creation For indeed you are unawares Of his vast wisdom and reason Take Heed! For if you find flaw in the appearance of someone You actually criticise Allah The creator and Master of the Universe Free from all blemish and defect The Lord of the Worlds So be careful and kind And Adorn and raise 'yourself' With the beauty and excellence of good manners

Most helpful. I’m wondering how to handle someone who, well-meaning or not, criticizes constantly and who when I attempt to talk on the matter says you’re stubborn or protecting them. One who replaces Salam with why can’t you..? Why did you..? What’s wrong with your..? And who very rarely has a kind word for those nearest but easily does for those distant. Patience wears thin and exhausted. Thank you.
