Wonderful khutba! My thanks to Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad, and the team responsible for this perenially helpful website =)!
Yes, it truly is wonderful. May Allah (swt) reward your efforts
(Love is nostalgia)
salaam
I love that the khutbah from last week was about death and this week about love. The connection between the two and how they overlapped although one would think the topics are on different ends of the spectrum.
Keep them coming. Enlightens me and fills my week with beauty.
The Most Concise Definition of Allah
The most concise definition of God in Islam is given in the four verses of Surah Ikhlas which is Chapter 112 of the Qur’an:
"Say: He is Allah,
The One and Only.
"Allah, the Eternal, Absolute.
"He begets not, nor is He begotten.
And there is none like unto Him."
[Al-Qur’an 112:1-4]
The word ‘Assamad’ is difficult to translate. It means ‘absolute existence’, which can be attributed only to Allah (swt), all other existence being temporal or conditional. It also means that Allah (swt) is not dependant on any person or thing, but all persons and things are dependant on Him.
Surah Ikhlas - the touchstone of theology:
Surah Ikhlas (Chapter 112) of the Glorious Qur’an, is the touchstone of theology. ‘Theo’ in Greek means God and ‘logy’ means study. Thus Theology means study of God and to Muslims this four line definition of Almighty God serves as the touchstone of the study of God. Any candidate to divinity must be subjected to this ‘acid test’. Since the attributes of Allah given in this chapter are unique, false gods and pretenders to divinity can be easily dismissed using these verses.
