Friday sermon (jum'ah khutba) by Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad - Cambridge - 20 October 2006 - 25 mins 09 secsIn this sermon, the sheikh relates some sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings be upon him) about the power and significance of bearing witness to the Unity of God (shahada). Taken literally, these sayings seem to suggest that simply saying La ilaha illa Allah ('There is no God but God') with sincerity is enough to attain salvation. However, the sheikh relates the opinion of the 'ulama who have said that to believe in God's Oneness is necessarily to want to act according to it. The gateway to this action is the Revelation given to the Prophet Muhammad and his own example. Hence the first witnessing to God's Unity is inextricably linked to the second witnessing of Muhammad's prophethood.
(Apologies that the first minute or so of the sermon are missing.)

It becomes very difficult to wait for a week or so; before more spiritual nourishment gets posted onto this blog.
ReplyDeleteSalaams, Yes, sorry about the delayed post this time, got rather busy. Will try to get back to posting at least once a week or more if we can. InshaAllah Sheikh Babikir al-Sudani is coming to give a talk in Cambridge in a couple of weeks, we'll post that inshaAllah. Also there is some good stuff due up on the Radical Middle Way website soon from Habib 'Ali, Sheikh Abdal Hakim and others so hopefully some more good resources available soon.
ReplyDeleteIndeed these are exciting times with the luminous Habib Ali on our shores, may Allah preserve him and sanctify his secret. I've heard that Shaykh Hamza might be coming in March inshaAllah....
