Khutbah 8th October South Shields
Khutbah – South Shields Al-Azhar Mosque
Friday 8th October 2010
“Faith wears out in the heart of any one of you just as clothes wear out, so ask Allaah to renew the faith in your hearts.”
Strange / amazing / situation of weak faith has become very widespread among Muslims, and many people complain about the hardness of their hearts.
“I feel hardness in my heart,” “I do not find any joy in worship,” “I feel that my faith has hit rock bottom,” “Reading Qur’aan does not move me,” “I fall into sin so easily.” The effects of this affliction can be seen in many people, and this problem is the cause of every disaster and adversity.
What are the causes of this?
The list is many…from leaving the jama’aah of the Muslims, not being around righteous brothers…to committing sin after sin after sin…..busying yourself with the whim and desires of this life.
SIN! Makes the heart of the believer dark and blackened!
“The heart will be subjected to trial after trial, and there will appear a black stain on any heart that is affected, which will spread until the heart is completely black and sealed, as it were, so that it will not recognize any good deed or denounce any evil, except whatever suits its own desires.”
Television
Research has found that children spend an average of three to four hours watching television each day. In a 65-year lifespan, that means s/he will have spent nine of those years in front of a box. With these statistics, we realise that children spend significant amounts of time in the fictional world, engaging with this virtual world often more than they do in the real world. It suddenly becomes worrisome when you begin to realise this fact and understand the implications. Television viewing is harmful to the intellectual, psychological, and social development of children. Even more frightening is that children may be harming their souls at a very young age; often never to recover their purity and wholesomeness again.
