PREFACE
This booklet is the fourth part of my collection of
speeches and writings from 2007 till the early 2011, entitled Khutab IV.
They were delivered at the ANUMA (Australian National University Muslim
Association) as Friday sermons, and as ordinary speeches on other
occasions, at the Indonesian community gatherings at the Kartini hall at
the Embassy of Indonesia in Canberra and other places on certain occasions.
The abbreviations used
in this booklet are: (1) s.a.w. (and ص.م.) for s.allállāhu
‘alayhi wa sallam (and صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمْ )
meaning “may Allah bless him and grant him salvation”, sometimes
translated as “peace be upon him” (p.b.u.h.), an eulogy after the name of
Prophet Muhammad, (2) a.s. (and (ع.س. for ‘alayhis salām (and
عَلَيْهِ
السَّلامْ ) meaning “upon him be peace” usually used after the
names of angels and prophets before Prophet Muhammad s.a.w., (3) r.a.
(and ر.ع.) for rad.iyallāhu
‘anhu (and رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُ ) meaning “may Allah be please with him” usually
used after the names of the s.ah.ābah (companions of the Prophet).
It has been like an
accident that before leaving a certain place I left a booklet behind. The
booklet Khuðab I (the
collection of speeches and sermons at the Canadian Islamic Centre, al-Rashid
Mosque) before leaving Edmonton (Canada) for Australia; Khuðab II (the
collection of sermons at the Canberra Islamic Centre) at Monash, ACT, before
leaving for overseas (the longest and happiest travel I have ever made), and the Khuðab III before
leaving for Indonesia and Malaysia in September 2007. This Khuðab IV,
however, was the collection of my sermon at the ANUMA was delivered until the
first quarter of this year (2011) and published later at the end of this year after
recovering from the operation of removing the aortic aneurism of my stomach on
11 June.
This booklet, like the
booklets written before, is far from perfect. However, this is another attempt
to introduce some Islamic teachings to the public. May Allah accept this humble
contribution to Islam, and may He forgive any mistake in this booklet. Amin!

A. INTRODUCTION FOR THE KHUT.BAH
This is an example for the introduction to the khut.bah as follows:
أَلْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَ نَسْتَعِيْنُهُ
وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ نَسْتَهْدِيْهِ وَ نَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شُرُوْرِ
أَنْفُسِنَا وَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِناَ، مَنْ يَهْدِ اللهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا
مُرْشِدًا ، وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، يُبْدئُ وَ
يُعِيْدُ وَ هُوَ اْلغَفُوْرُ الْوَدُوْدُ ذُو اْلعَرْشِ الْمَجِيْدِ, فَعَّالٌ
لِمَا يُرِيْدُ, عَزَّ جَارُهُ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ وَعَلا شَأْنُهُ سُبْحَانَهُ
وَ تَعَالىَ عَمَّا يَفْتَرِي الْمُفْتَرُوْنَ
وَ يَتَقَوَّلُ الُمْشرِكُوْنَ. وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَ
رَسُوْلُهُ وَصَفِيُّهُ وَخَلِيْلُهُ وَ كَلِيْمُهُ ، سَلَّ الرِّسَالَةَ وَ
أَدَّى اْلأَمَانَةَ وَ نَصَحَ اْلأُمَّةَ ، أَرْسَلَهُ اللهُ بَشِيْراً وَ
نَذِيْرًا وَ دَاعِياًّ إِلىَ اللهِ وَ سِرَاجًا مُنِيْرًا مَنْ يُطِعِ اللهَ وَ
رَسُوْلَهُ فَقَدْ
رَشَدَ وَ مَنْ يَعْصِهِمَا فَإنَّهُ لا يَضُرُّ إلاّ نَفْسَهُ وَلا يَضُرُّ اللهَ
شَيْئًا. أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ وَ بَارِكْ عَلىَ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُوْلِكَ
سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلىَ آلِهِ وَ صَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِيْنَ. َمَنِ اهْتَدَى
بِهَدْيِهِ وَ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِسُنَّتِهِ وَ سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيْمًا كَثِيْرًا.
أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، فَيَا أَيُّهَا
اْلمُؤْمِنُوْنَ، أُوْصِيْكُمْ وَ إِياَّيَ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ فَقَدْ فَازَ
اْلمُتَّقُوْنَ. قاَلَ تَعَالَى وهو أصدق القائلين:” يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ
آَمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ“ . صَدَقَ
اللهُ اْلعَظِيْم.
B. SOME EXAMPLES OF THE DU‘Ā’ (SUPPLICATION)
AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE
SECOND KHUTBAH
Some examples of du‘ā’s and its meaning in the
second khut.bah, as
follows:
أَللَّهُمَّ
اغْفِرْ لِلْمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ اْلأَمْوَاتِ،
إنَّكَ يَا مَوْلانَا سَمِيْعٌ قَرِيْبٌ
مُجِيْبُ الدَّعَوَاتِ وَ قَاضِي الْحَاجَاتِ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ
O Allah! Forgive the Muslims, males and females, the
believers, males
and females, the living among them as well as the
dead! Verily, You
are, O our
Lord, the All-Hearing and Near, Who answer (our)
prayers, and fulfil (our) needs, O the Lord of all creatures.
أَللَّهُمَّ
نَوِّرْ عَلَى أَهْلِ اْلقُبُوِْر قُبُوْرَهُمْ؛ اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ
لِلْأٍٍَحْيَاءِ وَ يَسِّرْ لَهُمْ أُمُوْرَهُمْ.
“O Allah! Lighten the graves of the dead, O Allah,
forgive the living and facilitate their affairs.”
أَللَّهُمَّ تُبْ
عَلَى التَّائِبِيْنَ وَ اغْفِرْ ذُنُوْبَ اْلمُذْنِبِيْنَ وَ اشْفِ مَرْضَى
اْلمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَ اكْتُبِ
الصِّحَّةَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيْقَ وَ
الْهِدَايَةَ لَنَا وَ لِكَافَّةِ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَجْمَعِيْنَ.
“O Allah! Forgive the repentant, forgive
the sins of the sinners, heal the
Sick among the Muslims, prescribe well-being,
vitality, prosperity and
guidance for us
and for the entire community of Muhammad.”
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ
لِوَالِدِيْنَا وَ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانَا صِغَارًا
“O Lord! Forgive us as well as our parents
and bestow on them
Your mercy as they did bring us up when we were
young.”
أَللَّهُمَّ اْصْلِح لَنَا دِيْنَنَا الَّذِيْ هُوَ عِصْمَةُ
أَمْرِنَا، وَ اصْلِحْ لَنَا دُنْيَانَا الَّتِيْ فِيْهَا مَعَاشُنَا،
وَ اصْلِحْ لَنَا
آخِرَتَنَا الَّتِيْ إِلَيْهَا مَعَادُنَا، وَ اجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لنَاَ
فِيْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
وَ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ
شَرٍّ
O Allah! Bring prosperity to our affairs in this world
that is the
preservation of
our lives, and in the next world to which we shall
return, and
increase our good deeds in our lives,
and make our
death repose from evil.
أَللَّهُمَّ أَرِنَا الْحَقَّ حَقًّا وَارْزُقْنَا
اتِّبَاعَهُ وَأَرِنَا اْلبَاطِلَ بَاطِلاً وَارْزُقْنَا اجْتِنَابَهُ
O Allah! Show us the truth as truth, and guide to
follow it, and show
us the
falsehood as falsehood, and guide us to avoid it.
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا
قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
Our
Lord! Bestow on us, our spouses and our offspring the
comfort of our eyes and make us leaders of the
pious.
أللَّهُمَّ
اجْعَلْنَا مُتَحَابِّيْنَ فِيْ جَلالِكَ مُجْتَمِعِيْنَ عَلَى كَلامِكَ وَ
أَظِلَِنَا تَحْتَ
ظِلِّ عَرْشِكَ
يَوْمَ لا ظِلَّ ِإلاّ ظِلُّكَ وَ تَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِيْنَ وَ أَلْحِقْنَا
بِالصَّالِحِيْنَ
وَاجْعَلْ خَيْرَ
أَعْمَالِنَا خَوَاتِمِهَا وَ اجْعَلِْ خَيْرَ أَيَّامْنَا يَوْمَ لِقَائِكَ.
O Allah! Make us love each other in
Your Majesty and agree on
Your sayings, and shade us with Your Throne on the day
there will
be no shade except its shade, and make us die asMuslims,
and
join us with pious people, and make our best deed its
last
one, and our
best day the day we meet You.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا
إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ
عَلَى
الَّذِينَ مِنْ
قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا
وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا
أَنْتَ
مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ
(البقرة : ٢٨٦)
Or Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a
mistake. Our
Lord! Do not lay on us such a burden as You placed on
those before
us. Our
Lord! Do not lay on us a burden that which we have not the
strength to
bear! Forgive us, have mercy on us. You are our
protector, help
us against the unbelievers.(Q. 2:286)
) دعاء
سيدنا إبراهيم ع.س. ,
(The prayer of Prophet Abraham, a.s.
رَبَّنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا
وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ. رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ
الْحَكِيمُ (الممتحنة : ٤-٥)
Our Lord! In You we have placed our
trust, to You we turn in
repentance and to You is our final goal. Our Lord! Do not
make us
a prey for those who disbelieve, and forgive
us our Lord!
You are the all-Mighty, the
All-Wise. (Q.
60:4-5)
رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي
لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آَمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآَمَنَّا رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا
ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا
مَعَ الْأَبْرَارِ. رَبَّنَا
وَآَتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَنَا عَلَى رُسُلِكَ
وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ
لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ (آل عمران : ١٩٣)
Our
Lord! We have heard someone calling to the true faith saying
‘Believe in
your Lord!’ So we believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins,
remove from us
evil deeds and make us die with the righteous. Our
Lord! Give us
what You have promised through Your messengers
and save us
from the shame on the Day of Resurrection; for
You never break Your promise. (Q. 3:193)
أَللَّهُمَّ وَحِّدْ صُفُوْفَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ
وَوَحِّد كَلِمَتَهُمْ وَانْصُرْهُمْ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِمْ
O Allah, unite the Muslims and
assist them against their enemies.
رَبَّنَا آَتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآَخِرَةِ
حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ. اللَّهُمَّ
آمِيْن يَا رَبَّ اْلعَالَمِيْن
Our Lord! Give us the goodness, both in this world and
in the
Hereafter and save us from the torment of Hellfire. (Q. 2:201)
عِبَادَ الله، إِنَّ اللَّهَ
يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ
وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ. اُذْكُرُوا اللهَ يَذْكُرُكُمْ وَ اشْكُرُوْهُ عَلىَ
نِعَمِهِ يَزِدْكُمْ وَ لَذِكْرُ اللهِ أَكْبَرُ وَ اللهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا
تَصْنَعُوْن. أَقِمِ الصَّلاة!!!
