Jumu'ah Gems

from this past week

First Khutbah

Ust. AbdelRahman Murphy

  • Engage with the Qur'an as a daily guide, respecting it by applying its teachings and reflecting on their relevance in your life.
  • Embrace the journey of growth, knowing spiritual development is lifelong and requires ongoing self-improvement and deeper understanding of Islam.
  • Practice empathy and compassion, as the story of Abu Mahdura reminds us that even those who seem distant can be drawn closer through kindness and understanding.

Second Khutbah

Sh Usman Qamar

  • One of our biggest misconceptions is that if we give our children the easiest life possible, they will turn out perfect.
  • We must aim to raise resilient children who will embrace the vicissitudes of life.
  • The goal is to prepare children for the path, not the path for the children.

Good Deed of the Week


Patience (صَبْرٌ)

Allah created three worlds: one of bliss, one of pain, and our present world where both exist; everyone experiences sorrow, regardless of their circumstances; complete freedom from sorrow is impossible; impatience exacerbates pain and prevents one from earning reward; patience, involving faith in Allah's Divine Design, brings solace and boundless reward; patience is holding firm to faith even in hardship.

وَٰسِعَةٌ ۗ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍۢ 

Allah (SWT) tells us in Surah Az-Zumar (39:10) "Only those who endure patiently will be given their reward without limit."

 

Videos of the Week

Overall I really enjoyed the intensive. It was extremely enjoyable and knowledgeable. I liked how he spent a good amount of time focusing on the Fatiha and bismallah because it's something we repeat multiple times a day and a lot of times we don't connect the dots and things become mundane for us and we need to recenter ourselves.

Al-Aqeedah At Tahawiyyah Intensive w/ Ust. Abdelrahman Murphy
The video was incredible and visceral. I felt the emotions and experience as if I were there. This is an amazing way to educate the public about Islam. I loved the Western perspective and how it simplified the story without losing its impact. Even though I was expecting to be moved, I was still deeply touched.
