At the Friday prayere today, the Khuthuba reminded us of timeless truths. Though our lifestyles may have changed from the past, the call of Allah remains the same: worship Him with gratitude, care for one another, and live with justice and unity.
Caring for parents and elders is not just a duty: it is a door to Paradise. Their prayers carry weight, their comfort is our responsibility. And in serving them, we serve Allah. We should extend the same care to people with special needs and the elderly among us; their dignity is part of our responsibility.
Zakat is not charity, it is justice. A system designed by Allah to balance society and lift the burdens of those who struggle. When the wealthy give, the poor are uplifted. It is security and mercy woven into our very faith.
The young are seeds of tomorrow. If we nourish them with knowledge, skills, and good upbringing, they will shade us with strength when we are
All of this must rest on a foundation of fairness. A society without justice is a house without foundation. Fairness is not optional: it is the heartbeat of Islam.
