Friday Sermon Delivered on 17th February, 2006

 

I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, He is One and has no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger.

After this, I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the rejected

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. The Gracious, the Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help. Guide us in the right path -- The path of those on whom Thou has bestowed Thy blessings, those who have not incurred displeasure, and those who have not gone astray. (Surah Al-Fatihah, 1:1-7)

I had meant to continue, in the last Friday Sermon, the subject of the previous two sermons. However, in light of the disgraceful and vulgar action of some Western newspapers, which sent shockwaves of indignation throughout the Muslim world, and the ensuing reaction, I felt it necessary to speak concerning it. This was so that Ahmadis could also be informed as to what our attitudes should be in such circumstances. Although, by the Grace of God, they do know this, but a reminder is needed that the world may also know the correct way for a Muslim to respond in these circumstances.
