Ramadan, the Month of Special Grace

And he saw him again at a second descent near the Lot-tree beyond which no one passes. Near which is situated the heavenly Garden of Abode. The Lot-tree was shrouded with unspeakable mysteries. Thereat, his sight never swerved nor did he overstep the defined limits, and there in fact he saw the greatest marvels his Lord has manifested. (Qur’an 53:13-18) لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَىٰ  Friday Khutbah by Shaykh Al-Akili on Friday, February 17th, 2023 C.E. at Annoor Jami Mosque, the 26th of Rajab 1444 Hijri.

When the Believers Are Tried

When the earth is shaken to its most violent convulsion. And the earth delivers its weighty bearings. And when man cries out [in distress]: “What happened to it?” On that Day, it will tell its stories. Whereas your Lord has given it the [command by] inspiration. On that Day people will come forth [individually and] in separate [groups] to see [the consequences of] their own doings. Whoever [today] does an atom’s weight of good, will then see it. Whoever [today] does an atom’s weight of evil, will then see it.

“And to the Divine Sovereign Lord bow in prostration all those who are in the heavens and on earth, willingly [for the believers], and unwillingly [for the hypocrites], and their shadows do the same after sunrise and before sunset. [All are in need of Him.] ”  (Qur’an 13:15) وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَظِلَالُهُم بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ Friday Khutbah by Shaykh Al-Akili on Friday, January 20th, 2023 C.E. at Annoor Jami Mosque, the 27th of Jamad Al-Akhira 1444 Hijri.

“Such are the ones who believe [in their Lord], and whose hearts become serene by invoking [the Exalted Attributes of] the Divine Sovereign Lord. In fact, it is by maintaining constant awareness of the Divine Sovereign Lord that the hearts become serene.”  (Qur’an 13:28) الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ  Friday Khutbah by Shaykh Al-Akili on Friday, December 30th, 2022 C.E. at Annoor Jami Mosque, the 6th of Jamad Al-Akhira 1444 Hijri.
