NOW IS THE TIME TO UNITE OH UMMAH OF MOHAMMED (PBUH) !! The struggle against Islam is a historical phenomenon. It dates back to the time when the Prophet (PBUH) announced his prophecy. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said in a Hadith about it: “They bore down upon Muhammad’s Ummah (PBUH) like wild beasts upon their prey!” It is exactly so. And it is nobody’s, but our fault. And just when the Muslims forgot about mentioning the Almighty, the whole Ummah was attacked by the ‘predators’. Just as a predator attacks the prey, they attacked Muslims all over the world. Allah (swt) is now testing each one of us. And therefore, our salvation lies only in the remembrance of the Almighty. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in a Hadith al-Qudsi tells us the words of Allah as He talks to His slaves: “I am as My slave thinks of Me.” So if a slave thinks the Almighty is merciful, he will find His mercy, and if he is disappointed and imagines Him angry, he will find Allah in anger. Further, the Hadith says: “I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me a hand’s span, I draw near to Him an arm’s length; And if he draws near to Me an arm’s length, I draw near to Him a fathom’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.” This is how Allah addresses the slaves who spend time making mention of Him. Unity can only be achieved if Muslims get away from unnecessary disputes among themselves, stop fueling a feud within the community, when Muslims will listen to Allah’s Ayah in the Quran, where He says: “ And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves”. Another Ayah says: “fall into no disputes, lest ye lose heart and your power depart.” Oh Allah, give us the strength to mention You - and then we will have no time to fall apart! Moreover, there will be no one to tear us apart.- Ameen, YaRabbul Alameen. A Khutbah excerpt by Shaykh Muhammadrasul Saaduev : Imam of Central Jum`ah Mosque | Makhachkala | 26 Aug 2011
