الخُطْبَةُ الأُوْلَى

(The First Sermon)

إِنَّ الحَمْدَ لِلهِ، نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ، وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ ونَتُوبُ إِلَيه، مَنْ يَهْدِ اللهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ.

In the name of Allah, we praise Him, seek His help, ask for His forgiveness, and turn to Him in repentance. Whoever Allah guides, no one can misguide, and whoever Allah allows to be led astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone without any partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.

أَمَّــــا بَعْـــــد: فَأُوْصِيْـكُمْ وَنَفْسِي بِتَقْــــــوَى اللهِ، وَاتِّبَاعِ كِتَابِ اللهِ؛ لِتَنَالُوْا رَحْمَةَ اللهِ!﴿وَهَذَا كِتَابٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ مُبَـــارَكٌ فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَاتَّقُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ﴾.

Dear Muslims, I advise you and myself to fear Allah and to follow the Book of Allah, so that you may attain the mercy of Allah. Allah says: 'And this is a Book We have revealed, blessed; so follow it and fear Allah that you may receive mercy'.

عِبَادَ الله: إِنَّهَا فُرَصٌ لا تُعَوَّضُ، وَغَنِيْمَةٌ لا تُسْتَدْرَك؛ فَالسَّعِيْدُمَنْ بَادَرَ إِلَيْهَا، وَالمَحْرُومُ مَنْ فَرَّطَ فِيْهَا؛ إِنَّهَا خَمْسُ فُرَصٍ جَمَعَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ في قَوْلِهِ:

Worshippers of Allah, these are opportunities that cannot be compensated, and gains that cannot be recaptured. The fortunate are those who seize them, and the deprived are those who neglect them. They are five opportunities that the Prophet ﷺ mentioned in his saying:

(اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ: شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ، وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ، وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ، وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغْلِكَ، وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ!)().

'Seize five things before five others: your youth before old age, your health before sickness, your wealth before poverty, your free time before being preoccupied, and your life before your death'.

وَخُلاصَةُ الحَدِيْثِ: أَنَّ دَوَامَ الحَالِ مِنَ المُحَالِ، وَالمُبَادَرَةإلى اغْتِنَامِ الأَحْوَال، وَالاِسْتِعْدَاد لِيَومِ المآل، وَالمُسَارَعَة في الخَيْرَاتِ، قَبْلَ وُقُوْعِ المُفَاجَآت!

And the essence of the hadith is that persisting in a certain state is impossible, taking the initiative to seize opportunities, preparing for the Day of Judgment, and hastening towards acts of goodness should be done before unexpected events occur.

الفُرْصَةُ الأُوْلَى: فُرْصَةُ الشَّبَابِ:فَهِيَ زَهْرَةُ العُمُرِ، وَغَنِيْمَةُ الدَّهْرِ، وَفُرْصَةٌ لا تَتَكَرَّر،وَفِرَاقُهَا أَلَمٌ لا يُتَصَوَّر! قال تعالى: ﴿أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا﴾. قال بَعْضُ المُفَسِّرِيْنَ:(الطَّيّبَاتُ: هِيَالشَّبَابُوالقُوَّة!)().

The first opportunity is the opportunity of youth. It is the flower of life, the treasure of time, an opportunity that does not repeat itself, and its departure brings unimaginable pain. Allah, the Almighty, says: 'You exhausted your pleasures during your worldly life.' Some of the interpreters said: your pleasures: refer to youth and strength!'

وَمُدَّةُ الشَّبَابِ قَصِيْرَةٌ:كَزَهْرِ الرَّبِيْعِ؛ فَإِذَا يَبُسَ وَابْيَضّ؛ فَقَدْ آنَ ارْتِحَالُه!() قال U:﴿وَاللهُ أَنْبَتَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا* ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا﴾.

The duration of youth is short, like the blossoming of spring(similar to how flowers bloom and flourish during the spring season). When it withers and turns white, its departure has come. Allah says: 'And Allah caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth. Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction'.

وَالشَّبَابُ والصِّحَّةُ؛ لا يَمْنَعُانِ مِنْ مَوْتَ الفَجْأَة! يَقُوْلُ ابْنُ الجَوْزِي: (يَجِبُ على مَنْ لا يَدْرِي مَتَى يَبْغَتُهُ المَوْتُ: أَنْ يَكُونَ مُسْتَعِدًّا، ولا يَغْتَرَّ بِالشَّبَابِ والصِّحّةِ، فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَمَنْ يَمُوْتُ الشُّبَّان!)().

Youth and good health do not prevent sudden death! Ibn al-Jawzi says: 'It is necessary for whoever does not know when death will come upon him to be prepared and not be deceived by youth and health, for most of those who die are young.'

وَالفُرْصَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ:الصِّحَّةُ والقُوَّةُ؛ فالمُؤْمِنُ الفَطِنُ:يُكْثِرُ مِنَ العَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ في حَالِصِحَّتِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ؛ حَتَّىيُكْتَبَ لَهُ ثَوَابُهُكَامِلًا في حَالِمَرَضِهِ! قال ﷺ: (إذَا مَرِضَ الْعَبْدُ أَوْ سَافَر؛ كُتِبَ لَهُ مِنَ الأَجْرِ، مِثْلُ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ صَحِيحًا مُقِيمًا!)().

The second opportunity is health and strength. The discerning believer increases in righteous deeds when he is healthy and strong, so that he is credited with full rewards even when he is ill. The Prophetﷺ said: 'When a servant of Allah falls ill or travels, he will be credited with the reward of what he used to do when he was healthy.'

قالَ ابنُ عُثَيْمِين: (يَنْبَغِي لِلْعَاقِلِ -ما دَامَفي حــالِ الصِّحَّةِوالفَرَاغ-؛ أَنْيَحْرِصَ على الأَعْمَالِالصَّالِحَــة، حَتَّى إِذَا عَجَزَ عَنْهَا -لمرَضٍ أو شُغل-؛كُتِبَت لَهُكَامِلَة)().

Ibn 'Uthaymeen said: "It is appropriate for a wise person, as long as they are in a state of health and leisure, to be eager in performing righteous deeds. This way, when theybecome incapable of doing them due to illness or occupation, full rewards will be recorded for them."

وَالفُرْصَةُ الثَّالِثَةُ:فُرْصَةُ المَالِ، وَبَذْلِهِ في مَرْضَاتِ اللهِ! سُئِلَ ﷺ: (أَيُّالصَّدَقَةِ أَعْظَمُأَجْرًا؟) قال: (أَنْتَصَدَّقَ وَأَنْتَصَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ:تَخْشَى الفَقْرَ،وَتَأْمَلُ الغِنَى، وَلاتُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَابَلَغَتْ الحُلْقُومَ؛قُلْتَ: "لِفُلانٍ كَذَا،وَلِفُلانٍ كَذَا" وَقَدْكَانَ لِفُلانٍ!)().

The third opportunity: The opportunity of wealth and its spending in the cause of Allah's pleasure. The Prophetﷺ was asked, "Which charity produced the greatest reward?" He replied, "To give charity when you are healthy and شَحِيحٌ [refers to stinginess coupled with excessive eagerness to hold onto wealth], fearing poverty, and hoping for wealth, and not delaying until you are on the verge of death, saying, 'Give so much to so-and-so, and so much to so-and-so,' when it has already become the property of so and so."

قال العُلَمَاءُ: (الشُّحُّغَالِبٌ فِي حَالِالصِّحَّة؛ فَإِذَاتَصَدَّقَ كَانَ أَصْدَقَفِي نِيَّتِهِ، وَأَعْظَمَلأَجْرِهِ، بِخِلَافِ مَنْأَشْرَفَ عَلَى المَوْت،وَرَأَى مَصِيرَ المَالِلِغَيْرِهِ!)().

The scholars have said: "Stinginess is predominant when one is healthy. So, when a person gives charity in such a state, their intention is more sincere and their reward is greater. This is in contrast to those who wait until they are close to death and then assign their wealth to others."

وَالمَرَادُ مِنَ المَالِ:إِنْفَاقُهُ في العُمُرِ؛فَإِذَا أُنْفِقَ العُمُرُفي تَحْصِيْلِ المالِ؛فَاتَ المَقْصُوْدَانِجميعًا!() ﴿وَأَنْفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَا أَخَّرْتَنِي إِلَى أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُنْ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ﴾.

And the intended meaning of wealth is its spending throughout one's lifetime. When a lifetime is spent solely in the pursuit of acquiring wealth, both objectives are lost altogether. "And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you, and he says, 'My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous".

قالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ t: (هُـوَ الرَّجُلُ المُؤْمِنُإِذَا نَزَلَ بِهِالمَــوْتُ، وَلَهُ مَــالٌلَمْ يُزَكِّهِ، وَلَمْيُعْطِ حَقَّ اللهِفِيْهِ؛ فَيَسْأَلُالرَّجْعَةَ عِنْدَالمَوْتِ؛لِيَتَصَدَّقَ مِنْمَالِهِ وَيُزَكِّي!)().

Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "He is a believing person who, when death approaches him and he possesses wealth that he has not purified and has not given the right of Allah in it, he asks for a delay in his death to give charity from his wealth and purify it."

الفُرْصَةُ الرَّابِعَةُ:فُرْصَةُ الفَرَاغِ! فَهِيَ نِعْمَةٌ عَظِيْمَةٌ، لا يَعْلَمُ قَدْرَهَا إِلَّا أَقَلُّ القَلِيْلِ! قال ﷺ: (نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ: الصِّحَّةُ،وَالفَرَاغُ)().

The fourth opportunity: the opportunity of free time! It is a great blessing, the value of which is known to only a few. The Prophet ﷺ said: "There are two blessings in which many people are deceived: health and free time."

 

يقولُ بَعضُ العُلَمَاءِ: (رَأَيْتُ عُمُوْمَ الخلَائِقِ يَدْفَعُونَ الزَّمَانَ دَفْعًا عجيبًا: إنْ طالَ الليلُ؛ فَبِحَدِيثٍ لا يَنْفَع، وإنْ طالَ النَّهارُ؛ فَبِالنَّومِ!ورَأَيْتُ النَّادِرِينَ قَدْ فَهِمُوا مَعْنَى الوُجُوْدِ، فَهُمْ في تَعْبِئَةِ الزَّادِ، وَالتَّأَهُّبِ لِلْرَّحِيْلِ؛ فَاللهَ اللهَ في مَوَاسِمِ العُمُرِ، وَالبِدَارَ البِدَارَ قَبْلَ الفَوَاتِ!)().

Some scholars say: "I have observed that most people try to avoid time in a strange manner. If the night is long, they engage in useless talk, and if the day is long, they resort to sleep. But I have seen those who possess insight understand the essence of existence. They are busy preparing provisions and getting ready for the journey. So, let's hasten and make the most of the opportunities in life, and let's be diligent and proactive before our time runs out!"

وَالفُرْصَةُ الخَامِسَةُ:فُرْصَةُ الحَيَاةِ؛ فَالعَبْدُ مِنْ حِيْنِ اسْتَقَرَّتْ قَدَمُهُ في هَذِهِ الدُّنْيا؛ فَهُوَ مُسَافِرٌ إلى رَبِّهِ؛ وَمُدَّةُ سَفَرِهِ: هِيَ حَيَاتُهُوَوَقْتُهُ!

And the fifth opportunity: the opportunity of life. When a person's feet settle in this world, they are like a traveler heading towards their Lord. The duration of their journey is their life and the time they have.

قال الحَسَنُ: (يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ أَيَّامٌ؛ كُلَّمَا ذَهَبَ يَوْمٌ،ذَهَبَ بَعْضُكَ!)().

Al-Hasan said: "O son of Adam, you are nothing but days. Whenever a day passes, a part of you also passes".

وَكَــانَ السَّــــــلَفُ يَغْتَنِمُونَحَيَاتَهُــــــمْ،وَيَعْمُـــرُوْنَ أَوْقَــــاتَهُمْ، في جَمْــــعِالحَسَـــــنَاتِ، وَرَفْـــعِ الدَّرَجَاتِ؛ لِلْوُصُوْلِ إلى أَعْلَىالجَنَّات! قَالَالحَسَنُ البَصْــــرِي: (أَدْرَكْــتُ أَقْــوَامًا،كَانُــــوا عَلَى أَوْقَاتِهِمْ أَشَـــــدَّ مِنْكُمْ حِرْصًا على دَرَاهِمِكُمْ)().

And the predecessors used to seize their lives, and occupy their time, in accumulating good deeds and elevating their ranks, aiming to reach the highest levels of paradise. Al-Hasan al-Basri said: " I have met people who were more diligent in making the most of their time than you are in making the most of your wealth."

قـــــالَ عَبْدُالرَّحْمَن بنُ مَهْدِيّ: (لَوْ قِيْلَ لِحَمَّادِ بنِ سَـلَمَةَ: إِنَّكَ تَمُوْتُ غَدًا؛ مَا قَدِرَ أَنَّ يَزِيْدَ فِي العَمَلِ شَيْئًا!).

قال الذَّهَبِيُّ: (كَانَتْ أَوْقَاتُهُ مَعْمُوْرَةً بِالتَّعَبُّدِ وَالأَوْرَادِ)().

Abdul-Rahman ibn Mahdi said: "If it were said to Hammad ibn Salama, 'You will die tomorrow,' he wouldn't have been able to increase anything in his deeds." Al-Dhahabi commented: "His time [i.e. Hammad ibn Salama] was filled with worship and devotion."

أَقُوْلُ قَوْلِي هَذَا، وَاسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ لِيْ وَلَكُمْ مِــــنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ؛ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِيم.

الخُطْبَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ

(The Second Sermon)

الحَمْدُ للهِ عَلَى إِحْسَانِه، والشُّكْرُ لَهُ عَلَى تَوْفِيْقِهِ وَامْتِنَانِه، وَأَشْهَدُ أَلَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُه.

All praise be to Allah for His goodness, and thanks to Him for His guidance and blessings. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His servant and messenger.

عِبَادَ الله: كُلُّ مَنْ فَرَّطَفي حَيَاتِهِ؛ سيَنْــــدَمُ عِنْدَ مَمَاتِهِ!وَيَتَمَــــنَّى لَحْظَةً -وَلَوْ يَسِيْرَةً- لِيَسْتَدْرِكَ مَا فَاتَ، وَلَكِنْ هَيْهَاتَهَيْهَاتَ!() ﴿وَلَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ اللهُ نَفْسًــا إِذَا جَــاءَ أَجَلُهَا وَاللهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ﴾.

Worshippers of Allah, whoever wastes their life will regret it upon their death! They will wish for even a brief moment to catch what has passed, but alas, it will be too late! Allah says: "And Allah does not delay a soul when its time has come. And Allah is Aware of what you do".

قالَ بَعْضُ السَّلَفِ: (إذَا فُتِحَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ بَابُ خَيْرٍ فَلْيُسْرِعْ إِلَيْـــهِ؛فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَــــدْرِي مَتَى يُغْلَــــقُ عَنْهُ!)().

Some of the righteous predecessors said: " When a door of goodness is opened for any of you, then hasten to it, for you do not know when it will be closed!"
