.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!

Intelligence

On Akl.

Shaykh Y fr: Masjid A-I

God created the Akl. It was one of His best creations and he gave it to us!

It is said to be divided into 10 parts. 5 are visible from the outside and the other 5 are all internal.

The external 5 are:
Silence
Forbearance
Humility
Enjoining the good and forbidding the bad
Good actions

The Internal 5 are:
Contemplation
Taking heed
Making your sins big
Fearing Allah
Lowering your Ego
