Honor What Allah ﷻ Honors

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 62:09). ‘Yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū idhā nūdiya li ṣ-ṣalati min yawmi ljumu‘ati fas‘aw ilā dhikri Llah’, ‘O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu’ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah.’ Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is showing the greatness and honor of the day of Jum‘ah in the Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan.

The day of Jum‘ah is a holy day. It is a gift from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Honor the day of Jum‘ah and attain from its benefits. Attain from the favors you have been given. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Leave everything and go to Jum‘ah prayer on time”. It is the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. No sales should be done during the time of Jum‘ah. Whatever is sold will be a sin. There is a certain time. It lasts for 15-20 minutes, or half an hour the most, and it will be over. Make sure to comply with this order. Some people comply with it; they close their shops, leave their jobs or take permission to go. But some people don’t have to stay at work. Even though they don’t have to stay, they don’t care. They are referred to Allah ﷻ. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will punish them.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has honored some things. To honor them is good for people. And to ignore them brings loss to them. Even though Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla honors certain days, there are some new types [of people] who keep calling it Shirk. They are stupid people. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has honored certain things. To honor them is good for us. It brings Thawab to us and gives strength to our Iman. This is the most important thing.

Not to honor them comes from lack of Iman. It weakens Iman. And it is what Shaytan wants. They pretend to do goodness to people, whereas they are either direct hypocrites or idiots. They are either of these two. To honor things honored and ordered to us by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, is the order of Allah ﷻ. How dare you say the order of Allah is Shirk, repel people and weaken their Iman? As we said, there is no third option: hypocrites or idiot/mindless people.

May Allah ﷻ give them minds and understanding. And may Allah ﷻ not separate us from this way. The way honored by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet ﷺ is a beautiful way. The other one is a useless, unnecessary and harmful way. Therefore, may Allah ﷻ give strength to our Iman. The more you honor what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla honors and loves, the stronger your Iman gets.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat and Salawat from all over the world. We dedicate them to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, to his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, Anbiya, Awliya, the Messengers, to the souls of Mashayikh, especially to our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne, Hala Sultan and the souls of all of our deceased relatives. May the good goals of those who have recited them be achieved. May they become means for their Dunya and Akhirah. For goodness to come and evil to be gone.

LiLlahi Ta’ala l-Fatihah.
