Repentance and Muharram

Jum'ah khutba - Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad - Cambridge - 11 November 2013 - 19 mins 13 secs

TRANSCRIPTION PENDING

'And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.' 
-Surah An-Nūr (The Light)

As another Muharram approaches, in this sermon the Shaykh reminds us of this opportunity for new beginnings. He clarifies the importance of Tawba at this time, and the three conditions that are required in order for the Tawba to be real and thus accepted by Allah All Mighty. He points to the ups and downs of the human condition and the cycles of repentance and wrong doing that the Shaytan loves to take advantage of, in order to drag the soul into despair.

Hope & Reliance on God

Jum'ah khutba (Friday sermon) by Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad - Cambridge - 24th October 2003 - 24 mins 42 secs

TRANSCRIPTION PENDING

The sheikh uses the occasion of the beginning of the month of Muharram and the Islamic New Year to reflect upon making a new start and how God may change the condition of anyone who humbly relies upon His Mercy. He distinguishes between true hope and reliance on God (tawakkul) and false hope (tamanni) that is not underpinned by honest introspection, humility and repentance (tawba).
