JUMA'A hUTHBAH
...An urgent statement. PEACE BE UPORN RAMADAN.... Watevr it is dat we came out of Ramadan with is profit. No matter how little and insignificant we may regard it. And as the hope of every trade man is to atleast mentain his profit at d level dat wil warrants next investment, let our gains from Ramadan be maintained. Let it be known dat Tahajjud is everyday affar. Let it be known dat to recite d Quran is eveeyday affair. Lets add value to our devotion. Wat we hav learned during Ramadan lets inculcate. But as we do, we must listen to experienced men of spirituality when they tell us dat..... We are youth with lots of fancies and distractions. And hence, we must apply the d principle of abriviation in the process. We must do less dan our capacity, cos too much is a burden. If we can stand for 2 hours at nyt, den lets stand for 45min ay nyt, but every day. If we can recite 10 pages of the Book, den lets recite only 5, but everyday. Like dis alone can we preserve the thirst for more. For if we overload ourselves today, tomorrow wil not come, and wen it comes, it will come wit a bitter tonic dat wil gradually make us lazy and infact hate wat we have vowed in devotion alltogether. So my friends like dis can we mentain constancy which is most Loved of our Beloved (Allah). Let it be known dat the weight and quality of our devotion in His eyes does not depend on the quantity but on its constancy.
Another subtle secret is dat dis is the most delicate time of our lives. Watever we establist in our youth is wat wil manifest in our adulthood. Dis is a self evident truth. U can never be a great devotee and wayferer at adulthood if you dont establist d rudinents during youthfulness.
Who then will join me to say......
The path of servitude this naive Saliks have vowed to tread!
With hope and fear as our capital!
This day, at the hey of our destiny!
Be for us, O our pyjamas, wat the overall coat us for the carpener!
