.Jummah Mubarak.

This is my collection of the Friday sermons (khutbahs). (DISCLAIMER: I don't take notes during the actual lecture, so this is just a summary of what I remember, plus a mix of my personal sentiment, and probably a dash of other lectures I've heard in the past.) If I err (misquote,misunderstand, etc.) it's all from me and anything good is from God. So with anything, take the good, leave the bad, and enjoy!

Try Out New Places

Imam AQ @ Masjid on D St.

Iqra!
Read the Qur'an. Listening/Attending Taraweeh is not enough. It's like going to dinner and watching the food being passed around, hearing the clanging of the dishes, and smelling the food, and saying, "Wow, what a great dinner!"
Feed your soul; read the Qur'an.
Read it, live it.

Shahr as Sabr
This is the month of Patience.
Be patient.

Silence
Like Maryam (as) has demonstrated in her fasts, sometimes it's good to be silent. Being noisy and being around those who are noisy can often get you in trouble. (ie listening, engaging in ish talk). In your silence, recieve God's message.

Student of Creation
Go out and sight the moon, watch for the thread of white on the horizon, and seek the grey beneath the orange at sunset. In these days, you are a student of creatopm, draw closer to God through nature.


Ramadan #8. Savor whatever Ramadan this is for you. It may possibly be your last.

This life is not promised, tomorrow may never show up.


May Allah bring us closer to Him through study and reflection of His creation & His word. May we hear Him in our silence. May He give us patience. Ameen.
