Dear blessed Muslims,

I remind myself and call upon fellow respected audience to strive in increasing our imaan and taqwa of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala with istiqaamah (steadfastness) in fulfilling all of His Commands and avoiding all of His prohibitions. May the increase in imaan and taqwa serve as added values for us in becoming true believers.

Today, I invite upon fellow Muslims to ponder upon a khutbah titled “THE YEAR

CHANGES, HAVE WE CHANGED?”

Dear respected audience,

We had just entered the New Year 2019 according to the Gregorian calendar. Definitely there were numerous moments of happiness and sorrow that we all experienced throughout the year 2018. The question is, how was the performance of our deeds throughout those 365 days that had passed? How far did we get in utilizing our time spent? Have we fulfilled all of the commands from Allah? Or are we continuously in the state of negligence, heedlessness, and deceived by worldly enjoyments that are temporary?

In the hadeeth of ibn ‘Abbaas radiyAllaahu ‘anhuma, Rasulullah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said:

عم مان يه بون ف ير تان مغ ث

فراك

وال

ة حا

اس الص ن النا م غ

“There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) Health and free

time for doing good.” (al-Bukhaari)

1 al-Anbiyaa’ 21:1

May these two blessings not harm us, but instead they are utilized in gaining as much provision possible in meeting our Creator. May the days to come become beneficial in the lives of us all. Dear blessed Muslims,

Every year, surely we will determine several resolutions for ourselves. Hence, with this new year, there are several guidelines in initiating transformations within oneself so that those resolutions can be attained effectively and actioned upon.

FIRST; SELF-EVALUATION

We must evaluate (muhaasabah) our progress and development towards Allah. Are our deeds, quality of imaan and taqwa of Allah actually on the increase or on a decline? Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala reminds us in verse 18 of soorah al-Hashr:

“O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.” SECOND; DETERMINATION

We must have solid determination to improve our lives at all times purely for the sake of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala. As Muslims, let us remain resolute in attaining as many rewards possible and also the pleasure of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala. Are the qualities of our obligatory and supererogatory prayers enhanced? Do we actually have istiqaamah (steadfastness) in attending circles of knowledge? Have we abandoned all forms of disobedience and prohibitions by Allah?

Let us instill firm resolutions for the sake of Allah Alone and seek His Pleasure in

attaining salvation in this world and the Hereafter.

THIRD; PLANNING

Every resolution determined must be followed up with organized planning that includes strategy or approach taken, as well as resources in putting them into actions, so as to yield positive impacts. Every planning that is executed must conform to the Sharee‘ah of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala.

On the authority of ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr radiyAllaahu ‘anhuma who said: Rasulullah

:said ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

“None of you [truly] believes until his desires are subservient to that which I have brought.”

(al-Bayhaqi) Dear blessed audience, FOURTH; IMPLEMENTATION

A matter that has been properly planned must be implemented with diligence until one successfully achieves its defined ideals or resolution. Islam takes great seriousness upon its adherents that do not act upon what they utter. Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala mentions in verses 2-3 of soorah as-Saff:

“O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do? Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do.”

After planning and remaining resolute, it is unbefitting for us to delay in executing a matter that bring about good such as salaah (prayer), tawbah (repentance), sadaqah (charity), and daily affairs. This is because we truly do not know what will happen in the next second.

FIFTH AND FINAL; ISTIQAAMAH

Retaining something that has been attained will definitely be faced with various challenges. Therefore, I implore upon the Muslim ummah to always remain istiqaamah (steadfast) in maintaining obedience upon the commands of Allah, as well as sabr (patience) in avoiding His prohibitions. Let us always supplicate so that we will remain istiqaamah in the transformation towards good and always bestowed with the guidance of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala.

Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala mentions in verse 112 of soorah Hood:

“So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those

who have turned back with you [to Allah], and do not transgress. Indeed, He is Seeing of what you do.”

On the authority of Abu ‘Amr radiyAllaahu ‘anh who said:

I said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about al-Islaam which I can ask of no one but you.” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Say I believe in Allah — and then be steadfast.”

(Muslim) To end this week’s khutbah, I would like to remind and call upon all of us to derive

lessons as in the following;

1. The Muslim ummah must have full certainty that the purpose of this worldly life is purely for servitude unto Allah, hence attaining the reward of Paradise in the Hereafter.

2. The Muslim ummah must always make muhaasabah and remain determined

to make improvements from time to time, not only with the arrival of the new year. 3. The Muslim ummah must always remain istiqaamah in performing righteous

deeds and avoiding prohibited matters by Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala.

“Whoever does righteousness - it is for his [own] soul; and whoever does evil [does so] against it. And your Lord is not ever unjust to [His] servants.”

Dear blessed audience,

Once again, I would like to remind all of us to always have the taqwa of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala and realize that Islam teaches us to remain moderate in every actions and deeds. As Muslims, we are to manifest noble akhlaaq, having utmost

personality and attitude for Rasulullah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص was sent to perfect akhlaaq and as mercy for

the entire mankind and the worlds. Therefore, let us always increase our salawaat and

salaam upon our Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص. Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta‘aala mentions:

“Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to

do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.”

O Allah, You are the Lord that is All Mighty, we are grateful to You for having bestowed upon us rahmah and ni‘mah, that we are able to continue the effort in empowering the Muslim ummah, as an advanced state, prosperous and providing welfare, under the auspices and leadership of our Ruler as the Head of Islamic affairs in this state.

Hence, we sincerely beseech You, O Allah, strengthen our imaan and creed

according to that of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamaa‘ah, accept our righteous deeds, cultivate our soul with good mannerisms, unite our hearts, bestow upon us rizq with blessings, enrich us with beneficial knowledge, protect us from disasters and save us from teachings that are outside the fold of Islam such as Qadiyaani, deviant teachings such as Shee‘ah, and other teachings deemed as deviating from Islamic teachings or contradicting the creed of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamaa‘ah. O Allah, open up our hearts in performing the five daily prayers, fulfilling zakaat through Lembaga Zakat Selangor (Selangor Zakaat Board), making waqf and infaaq of our wealth to Perbadanan Wakaf Negeri Selangor (Selangor Waqf Corporation), and Tabung Amanah Pembangunan Islam Selangor (Islamic Development Trust Fund of Selangor).
