الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ
Hvala pripada Allahu; Njega hvalimo, od Njega pomoć tražimo i od Njega oprost molimo.

وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ
Utječemo se Allahu od zla naših duša i od naših loših djela. Koga Allah uputi, njega niko ne može zavesti, a koga On ostavi u zabludi, njega niko ne može uputiti.
- 0:55
وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
Svjedočim da nema boga osim Allaha, Jedinog, Koji nema sudruga, i svjedočim da je Muhammed Njegov rob i poslanik.
- 1:05
أَرْسَلَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
Uzvišeni Allah ga je poslao s uputom i pravom vjerom da je uzdigne iznad svih vjera, makar to bilo mrsko nevjernicima i makar to bilo mrsko mnogobošcima (usp. Et-Tevba, 33; Es-Saff, 8–9).
- 1:14
فَصَلَوَاتُ رَبِّي وَسَلَامُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ الْكِرَامِ الْهُدَاةِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ
Neka su salavati i selami moga Gospodara na njega i na njegovu dobru i čistu porodicu i njegove plemenite ashabe, upućene koji su i druge upućivali, i na one koji ih u dobru slijede do Sudnjeg dana. Neka je Allahovo zadovoljstvo na nama i na svima njima. A zatim:
- 1:33
Sva slava i sva zahvala pripadaju Uzvišenom Gospodaru svih svjetova, na svim nebrojenim blagodatima, na svim blagodatima kojih smo svjesni, a i onim kojih svjesni nismo.
- 1:51
Zahvaljujemo Uzvišenom na blagodatima kojima nas svakodnevno časti, na ovoj današnjoj džumi, na ovom današnjem danu, na još jednoj prilici da se popravimo i da svoja srca odgojimo.
- 2:08
Hvala Njemu Uzvišenom na najvećoj blagodati, blagodati upute, blagodati islama. Hvala Njemu Uzvišenom na blagodati posljednjeg Poslanika, najodabranijeg Poslanika, najsavršenijeg čovjeka.
- 2:28
I mi donosimo salavate i selame na njega, na pečat svih poslanika, Muhammeda, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, na njegovu časnu i plemenitu porodicu, drugove ashabe i na sve one koji slijede njegov put, njegovu uputu do Sudnjega dana. Amin.
- 2:47
Uzvišeni Allah u prvoj obavijesti, kada je obavijestio meleke da će stvoriti čovjeka, nije ih obavijestio o tome kako će oni izgledati, koje će boje biti, kakve će biti njihove osobine, kako će to novostvoreno izgledati.
- 3:12
Već Uzvišeni Allah u prvoj obavijesti o stvaranju čovjeka određuje i samu ulogu čovjeka, i samu ulogu tog novog stvorenja. Pa kaže: „I kada tvoj Gospodar reče melekima: 'Ja ću na Zemlji uspostaviti halifu'“ – ja ću na Zemlji uspostaviti namjesnika, ja ću na Zemlji uspostaviti zastupnika. I Uzvišeni Allah nam je ovime pokazao i ukazao na suštinu našega postojanja,
- 3:55
na suštinu našega stvaranja, a to je zastupništvo na Zemlji. I slobodno možemo reći da je svjestan onaj čovjek, i na pravom putu je onaj čovjek, koji je svjestan svoje uloge na ovome svijetu.
- 4:15
I koji je svjestan da njegovo postojanje nije samo iz biološke prirode: da jede, da pije, da spava, da se razmnožava, da zarađuje, da bi ponovo jeo, pio i tako dalje.
- 4:32
Njegova uloga je mnogo veća, zato što ove biološke specifikacije, ovu biološku prirodu imaju i životinje. A čovjek je mnogo više od životinje. Čovjek ima mnogo veću ulogu svoga postojanja na Zemlji. I Uzvišeni Allah, kako bi omogućio čovjeku da bude Njegov zastupnik na Zemlji, mu je podario još mnoge blagodati, i kako bi mu olakšao da izvrši ovu ulogu kojom ga Allah duži.
- 5:09
Pa mu je, pored biološke prirode, dao i onu duhovnu prirodu, dakle dušu. Dao mu je dušu i dao mu je, sa druge strane, i razum kao osnovni alat rasuđivanja.
- 5:28
I Uzvišeni Allah o toj prilici čovjeku da sam rasuđuje uz pomoć svoga razuma spominje u Kur'anu, pa kaže: „Mi smo mu ukazali na pravi put –
- 5:49
ili će biti od zahvalnih, ili će biti od nevjernika.“ Dakle, ili će biti od zahvalnih, ili će biti od nevjernika. I zapravo čovjekova odgovornost se usko vezuje sa postojanjem razuma. Dakle, odgovornost je uslovljena razumom.
- 6:08
Tamo gdje nema razuma, nema ni odgovornosti. I to jasno ukazuje hadis Poslanika, alejhis-selam, u kome kaže: „Od trojice je pero uzdignuto“ – dakle, ne pišu se njihova djela –
- 6:26
„od onoga koji spava dok se ne probudi, i od dječaka dok ne sazrije, i od ludaka dok se ne urazumi“, ili dok mu se razum ne vrati.
- 6:45
Što nam, dakle, ukazuje da je odgovornost uslovljena razumom. Zaista je naša uloga na Zemlji ovo zastupništvo – velika počast od Uzvišenog Gospodara. Ali svaka počast ima svoj teret, svoj teret koji se mora ponijeti kako bi se opravdala ta počast.
- 7:11
A teret ove počasti zastupništva na Zemlji jesu emanet i odgovornosti kojima nas je Allah zadužio. I u islamskoj terminologiji odgovornost otprilike znači emanet.
- 7:28
Emanet – dobro poznata riječ kod nas i u upotrebi kod nas, u našoj tradiciji. A Poslanik, alejhis-selam, kazuje opasne riječi kada je u pitanju emanet. Kaže: „La imane li men la emanete leh.“ Nema imana onaj koji nema emaneta.
- 7:46
Dakle, nema imana onaj koji nema emaneta. I okosnica naše današnje hutbe jesu najosnovniji emaneti kojima nas Allah duži, kojima nas Allah obavezuje. A to je ajet u kome Uzvišeni nam jasno daje zadaću i određuje najosnovniju odgovornost i najosnovniji emanet koji moramo da ispunimo.
- 8:12
Pa kaže: „O vi koji vjerujete, čuvajte sebe i vaše porodice od vatre.“
- 8:28
Dakle, to je osnovni emanet i osnovna odgovornost kojom nas Allah duži. I kada je u pitanju čuvati sebe kao pojedince, kako bismo sačuvali sebe od vatre, moramo prvo razumjeti prirodu našeg stvaranja i sve ono što nam je Allah dao u našoj ličnosti.
- 8:56
I islam je vjera reda, kako se kaže u jednoj rečenici Sufjana, tačnije Selmana el-Farisija: „Da se dadne svemu njegovo pravo.“ I mi kao ličnosti, kao stvorenja, imamo pravo kod nas samih. A kako bismo, kao što sam rekao, shvatili ta prava, moramo razumjeti prirodu našeg stvaranja.
- 9:29
Prvenstveno, naša biološka dimenzija, to je ovo naše tijelo, ima hak kod nas, ima pravo kod nas. A hak našeg tijela kod nas jeste da se održava, da se održava higijenski i da se hrani.
- 9:47
Potom druga dimenzija, a to je duša. I hak duše jeste da je nahranimo. Ali hrana duše nije hrana tijela. Hrana duše je duhovnost. Hrana duše je ibadet. Hrana duše je pokornost Allahu, dželle šanuhu. I treća dimenzija naše prirode jeste razum. I dužni smo i razum nahraniti. A hrana razuma jeste korisno znanje. Hrana razuma jeste korisno znanje.
- 10:20
I kada uravnotežimo sve ove tri dimenzije našeg stvaranja, naše prirode, kada svemu damo njegovo pravo, ako Bog da, sačuvali smo sebe džehennemske vatre. Sada prelazimo na drugi dio ajeta, u kome Allah kaže: „ve ehlikum“ – i vaše porodice; čuvajte sebe i vaše porodice od vatre.
- 10:45
I kao što znate, porodica je osnovna ćelija društva. Dakle, skup porodica jeste zajednica, jeste društvo. Bez porodica nema društva. Sa pokvarenim porodicama društvo je pokvareno. Sa kvalitetnim porodicama društvo je kvalitetno.
- 11:08
Dakle, što nas dovodi do zaključka da, kako bi… ako želimo da popravimo društvo i cjelokupnu zajednicu, moramo poći od porodice. I to Poslanik, alejhis-selam, nam jasno ukazuje u hadisu gdje kaže: „Allah neće promijeniti stanje jednog naroda“, jedne zajednice, „dok oni sami svoje stanje ne promijene.“ Spomenut ćemo općenito dvije metode odgoja svoje porodice. Prva metoda jeste metoda direktnog pristupa: direktnog pristupa djetetu, direktnog pristupa mlađoj braći, bratu, mlađoj sestri i tako dalje.
- 11:54
To je metoda direktnog pristupa, što podrazumijeva savjete, kritike, pohvale, pa i na samom koncu restriktivne mjere. I to nam jasno Poslanik, alejhis-selam, ukazuje u hadisu gdje kaže: „Naređujte vašoj djeci da obavljaju namaz od sedam godina“ – navikavajte vašu djecu da obavljaju namaz od sedam godina – a kaže: „već od deset godina ih malo pošibajte.“ Naravno, zna se to u kojoj mjeri i do koje granice. Ali, dakle, ovo je metoda direktnog pristupa. I najljepši savjeti su oni savjeti koji su spomenuti u Kur'anu,
- 12:37
koje je Allah zabilježio u Kur'anu i prenosi ih od jednog od najmudrijih ljudi u historiji čovječanstva, od mudroga Lukmana – poznati Lukman, poznati i mudri Lukman – i njegovi savjeti njegovoj djeci.
- 12:55
I Uzvišeni Allah je te savjete ovjekovječio na taj način što ih je u Kur'anu spomenuo. Također, najbolji odgajatelj, najmudriji odgajatelj, naš učitelj, naš uzor, Poslanik, alejhis-selam – njegov savjet i njegovi savjeti i njegov odgoj se ogleda u jednom hadisu koji prenosi Ibn Abbas, koji je učestvovao u tom događaju.
- 13:25
Kaže, jedne prilike – pošto je Ibn Abbas u tom periodu bio dijete – i kaže: jedne prilike, kada smo ja i Poslanik, alejhis-selam, jahali kamilu, i kaže Poslanik, alejhis-selam, mi se obraća. I kaže: „Ja gulam“ – o dijete, o dječačiću.
- 13:43
To je prisni pristup djetetu. „Ja gulam“ – o dječače. „Inni u'allimuke kelimatin“ – ja te podučavam riječima. Dakle, zapamti, fokusiraj se: ja te podučavam riječima. „Ihfezillahe jahfezke.“ Sada dobro poslušajmo, poštovana braćo, ove savjete. „Ihfezillahe jahfezke“ – čuvaj Allaha, On će tebe čuvati. „Ihfezillahe tedžidhu tudžaheke“ – čuvaj Allaha, naći ćeš Ga pred sobom, u smislu: u svakom iskušenju nećeš biti sam. A kada tražiš, kada moliš za nešto, traži od Allaha.
- 14:24
„وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ“ – i kada tražiš utočište, tražiš pomoć, traži od Allaha. „وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأُمَّةَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ لَكَ“ – i znaj da kada bi se sav ummet, svi ljudi sastavili da ti nešto koriste, neće ti koristiti osim onoga što je Allah zapisao. I znaj da kada bi se cijeli ummet sastavio da ti nešto naškodi, da ti naudi, neće ti nauditi osim onoga što je Allah zapisao.
- 15:04
Kaže: „Uzdignuta su pera, a hartije su osušene.“ Misli se na pera pisanja sudbine. Sudbina je već ispisana, hartije su osušene. Pazite, poštovana braćo, ove savjete. Ovo su savjeti koji prave, koji prave ljudine, koji prave čvrste vjernike. Kada ti dijete od malena odgajaš, osvijestiš Allaha, da mu Allah bude na prvom mjestu. Kada ti dijete odgajaš da bude neovisno od ljudi, od ljudi koji su stvorenja kao i on, da bude ovisan samo o Allahu, o Stvoritelju svih stvorenja.
- 15:45
Kada ti dijete odgojiš da bude svjesno, i utemeljiš ubjeđenje u ono što je zapisano, takvi savjeti prave elitu, poštovana braćo. Pa pogledajmo kakvi su naši savjeti. Da li su naši savjeti da pravimo uspravne, ispravne kičme, ili su neki mizerni savjeti od kojih pravimo neke beskičmenjake? I završavam sa drugom metodom odgoja, a to je metoda indirektnog pristupa.
- 16:19
To je ono što radiš, poštovani brate. To nije ono što govoriš. To je ono što radiš. To nije tvoja teorija, to je tvoja praksa. A djeca upijaju ono što vide, a ne ono što čuju.
- 16:34
I zbog toga, ako roditelj puši i priča djetetu: „Nemoj pušiti, to je štetno, to nije korisno“ – džaba pričaš kad ono tebe vidi. Ako savjetuješ dijete: „Nemoj, sine, psovati, nemoj biti vulgaran“, a vidi da babo – svaka druga koju progovori psovka – džaba pričaš.
- 16:57
I, poštovana braćo, to je najveći problem odgoja: raskorak teorije i prakse. Mi danas, hvala Allahu, živimo u nekom vremenu inflacije znanja, inflacije formalnog znanja. Nikada nije bilo lakše doći do nekog hadisa, do nekog citata, do nekog govora učenjaka. Nikada nije bilo to lakše od danas, od toga što je danas. Ali pogledajte, pogledajte realnost i naše primjenjivanje toga, poštovana braćo. Lijep su nam primjer naši stari, koji su živjeli u prethodnim sistemima,
- 17:38
u sistemima koji su zatvarali džamije, zatvarali medrese, zatvarali mektebe, zabranjivali vjerske aktivnosti. I naši stari, koji su se, rizikujući svoje glave, trudili da se poduče osnovama vjere. Dakle, osnovama vjere – nisu znali mnogo, ali upravo su održali islam uz, kako oni kažu, uz Elham, uz Rabbi jessir, uz Kulhuvallahu.
- 18:06
Sa nekoliko dova i nekoliko sura su oni održali islam u vremenima, u vremenima koja podsjećaju na vremena na koja ukazuje Poslanik, alejhis-selam, da će doći vremena pred Sudnji dan u kojima će vjera biti poput žeravice u dlanu: ako je ispustiš, ispustio si vjeru, ako je zadržiš, bit će ti teško, peći će te, mučit ćeš se, neće ti biti lahko. E, mi danas živimo u nekoj zoni komfora, u nekom luksuzu razbacivanja, generalno, sa islamskim citatima.
- 18:45
Ali u praksi mnogo malo vidimo, mnogo malo primjene vidimo. I zaista, od najljepših opisa Poslanika, možda i najljepši, jeste opis kojim ga je opisala Aiša, radijallahu anha.
- 19:01
Kada su je pitali kakav je to bio – kada su ashabi upitali kakav je to bio Poslanik, alejhis-selam. Zašto su upitali Aišu? Zašto nisu upitali Ebu Bekra, kao njegovog najboljeg druga? Zašto nisu upitali Omera, Osmana? Ne, nego su upitali Aišu. Zato što je Aiša, radijallahu anha, njegova hanuma, njegova supruga, i ona zna njegovu tajnost prije njegove javnosti.
- 19:29
Zato što smo svi u javnosti onako čvrsti muslimani, jaki vjernici, mu'mini. Ali zato u tajnosti, kada ostaneš, kada si daleko od očiju ljudi, to je tvoja stvarnost. Tajnost je naša stvarnost.
- 19:45
I ako želimo da vidimo kakvi smo u realnosti, kakvi smo stvarno, pogledajmo našu tajnost. I odgovor Aiše, radijallahu anha, je glasio, kada su je upitali kakav je to bio Poslanik, alejhis-selam – ona je rekla: „On je bio hodajući Kur'an.“
- 20:03
On je bio Kur'an koji hoda. Šta to zapravo znači? To znači da u njegovom djelovanju nije bilo raskoraka između riječi, između djela, između teorije, između prakse, između onoga što je propagirao, onoga u što je pozivao, i onoga što je činio i što je radio.
- 20:24
To je, poštovana braćo, tajna uspješnog odgoja. To je tajna uz koju je Poslanik, alejhis-selam, odgojio generacije koje su se u jednom vremenu borile sa najvećim svjetskim silama. Zamislite, u jedno vrijeme pobjeđuješ i Perziju i Vizantiju.
- 20:43
Pa to – ne postoji matematika i logika koja može da ti opravda, da ti rezultira time. Ali zapravo to je odgoj. To je odgoj koji je odgojio ljude koji su sami za sebe bili institucija.
- 21:00
Pošalje Muaza ibn Džebela u Jemen – cijeli Jemen primi islam. Pošalje drugoga ashaba tamo u Aziju – pola Azije primi islam. Pošalje u Afriku – pola Afrike primi islam. To su ljudi bili institucije sami za sebe.
- 21:15
Oni su bili i mekteb, i vrtić, i škola, i medresa, i fakultet, i univerzitet u jednoj ličnosti. A zapravo tajna tog odgoja jeste u ovim metodama odgoja Poslanika, alejhis-salatu ves-selam.
- 21:31
Poštovana braćo, potrudimo se da iznesemo svoje emanete na najbolji mogući način. Potrudimo se da odgojimo sebe i svoje porodice prije odgoja komšije, prije odgoja komšiluka, zato što je to za nas najbitnije, zato što je odgoj, poštovana braćo, poput sijanja sjemena.
- 21:52
Sijanja sjemena. Treba vremena dok izađe korijenje, dok poraste, ali kada poraste, ti plodovi su najljepši, ti plodovi su najslađi. Ti plodovi se ne završavaju našom smrću, kako kaže Poslanik, alejhis-selam, o trima trajnim sadakama.
- 22:11
Kaže: jedna od tri trajne sadake jeste bogobojazno, odgojeno dijete koje čovjek ostavi za sobom, i to dijete dovi i nakon njegove smrti. Molim Uzvišenog Gospodara da nas učini pravim odgajateljima. Molim Uzvišenog Gospodara da nam podari iskrenost, da budemo u našoj tajnosti isto kao što smo u javnosti.
- 22:32
Molim Uzvišenog Gospodara da ponesemo ovaj emanet vjere, da ponesemo emanet hilafeta, da ponesemo emanet Allahovog zastupništva na Zemlji, i da, ako Bog da, na koncu nas sastavi u Džennetu, kao što nas je danas ovdje sastavio, u najljepšem društvu,
- 22:50
u društvu poslanika, šehida, dobrih Allahovih robova, a divno li je to društvo!
- 22:55
بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لِي وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ وَنَفَعَنِي وَإِيَّاكُمْ بِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ وَالذِّكْرِ الْحَكِيمِ أَقُولُ مَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ لِي وَلَكُمْ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Neka Allah blagoslovi mene i vas Veličanstvenim Kur’anom i neka mene i vas okoristi ajetima i mudrom opomenom koji su u njemu. Govorim ovo što čujete i molim Allaha Veličanstvenog za oprost i sebi i vama, pa i vi od Njega oprost tražite – On je, zaista, Onaj Koji prašta i Milostiv je.
- 0:01
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ
All praise belongs to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help and ask His forgiveness.
- 0:43
وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ
We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and from our bad deeds. Whomever Allah guides, none can lead astray, and whomever He leaves astray, none can guide.
- 0:55
وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, Who has no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
- 1:05
أَرْسَلَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
Allah the Exalted sent him with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religion, even if the disbelievers dislike it and even if the polytheists dislike it (cf. At-Tawbah 9:33; As-Saff 61:8–9).
- 1:14
فَصَلَوَاتُ رَبِّي وَسَلَامُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ الْكِرَامِ الْهُدَاةِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ
May the blessings and peace of my Lord be upon him and upon his good and pure family and his noble companions, the rightly guided who guided others, and upon those who follow them in excellence until the Day of Judgement. May the pleasure of Allah the Exalted be upon us and upon all of them. To proceed:
- 1:33
All glory and all praise belong to the Exalted Lord of all the worlds, for all the countless blessings, for all the blessings we are aware of, and also those we are not aware of.
- 1:51
We thank the Exalted for the blessings with which He honours us every day, for this Friday prayer (jumu'ah) today, for this day today, for yet another opportunity to reform ourselves and to discipline our hearts.
- 2:08
Thanks be to Him, the Exalted, for the greatest blessing, the blessing of guidance, the blessing of Islam. Thanks be to Him, the Exalted, for the blessing of the last Prophet, the most chosen Prophet, the most perfect of men.
- 2:28
And we send blessings and peace upon him, upon the seal of all the prophets, Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam (peace be upon him), upon his honourable and noble family, his companions, and upon all those who follow his path, his guidance, until the Day of Judgement. Amin.
- 2:47
Allah the Exalted, in the first announcement, when He informed the angels that He would create man, did not inform them of what they would look like, what colour they would be, what their characteristics would be, what this new creation would look like.
- 3:12
Rather, Allah the Exalted, in the first announcement of the creation of man, determines the very role of man, the very role of this new creature. He says: "And when your Lord said to the angels: 'I will place upon the Earth a khalifah'" – I will place upon the Earth a vicegerent, I will place upon the Earth a representative. And by this Allah the Exalted has shown us and pointed us to the essence of our existence,
- 3:55
to the essence of our creation, and that is vicegerency on Earth. And we can freely say that the aware person, the person on the right path, is the one who is aware of his role in this world.
- 4:15
And who is aware that his existence is not merely of a biological nature: to eat, to drink, to sleep, to reproduce, to earn so as to eat and drink again, and so on.
- 4:32
His role is much greater, because animals too have these biological features, this biological nature. But man is much more than an animal. Man has a much greater role in his existence on Earth. And Allah the Exalted, in order to enable man to be His vicegerent on Earth, granted him many more blessings, so as to make it easier for him to carry out this role with which Allah has charged him.
- 5:09
So, besides the biological nature, He also gave him a spiritual nature, that is, a soul. He gave him a soul and, on the other hand, He also gave him reason as the basic tool of judgement.
- 5:28
And Allah the Exalted mentions in the Qur'an this opportunity for man to judge for himself with the help of his reason, saying: "We have shown him the right path –
- 5:49
he will either be among the grateful or among the unbelievers." So, he will either be among the grateful or among the unbelievers. And in fact, man's responsibility is closely tied to the existence of reason. So, responsibility is conditioned by reason.
- 6:08
Where there is no reason, there is no responsibility either. And the hadith of the Prophet, alayhis-salam (peace be upon him), clearly indicates this, in which he says: "The pen has been lifted from three" – that is, their deeds are not recorded –
- 6:26
"from the one who is asleep until he wakes up, from the boy until he reaches maturity, and from the insane until he regains his reason," or until his reason returns to him.
- 6:45
Which shows us, then, that responsibility is conditioned by reason. Truly, our role on Earth is this vicegerency – a great honour from the Exalted Lord. But every honour has its burden, its burden that must be borne in order to justify that honour.
- 7:11
And the burden of this honour of vicegerency on Earth is the trust (amanah) and the responsibilities with which Allah has charged us. And in Islamic terminology, responsibility roughly means amanah.
- 7:28
Amanah – a well-known word among us, in use among us, in our tradition. And the Prophet, alayhis-salam, says weighty words when it comes to amanah. He says: "La imana liman la amanata lah." The one who has no amanah has no iman (faith).
- 7:46
So, the one who has no amanah has no iman. And the backbone of our hutba (Friday sermon) today is the most fundamental trusts with which Allah charges us, which Allah makes obligatory upon us. That is the verse in which the Exalted clearly gives us a task and defines the most basic responsibility and the most basic trust that we must fulfil.
- 8:12
He says: "O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from the Fire."
- 8:28
So, that is the fundamental trust and the fundamental responsibility with which Allah charges us. And when it comes to protecting ourselves as individuals, in order to protect ourselves from the Fire, we must first understand the nature of our creation and everything that Allah has given us in our personality.
- 8:56
And Islam is a religion of order, as is said in a sentence of Sufyan, or more precisely of Salman al-Farisi: "That everything be given its due." And we as persons, as creatures, have rights over ourselves. And in order, as I said, to understand those rights, we must understand the nature of our creation.
- 9:29
First of all, our biological dimension, that is this body of ours, has a right (haqq) over us, has a right over us. And the right of our body over us is that it be maintained, maintained hygienically, and that it be fed.
- 9:47
Then the second dimension, and that is the soul. And the right of the soul is that we feed it. But the food of the soul is not the food of the body. The food of the soul is spirituality. The food of the soul is worship (ibadah). The food of the soul is obedience to Allah, jalla sha'nuhu. And the third dimension of our nature is reason. And we are obliged to feed reason too. And the food of reason is beneficial knowledge. The food of reason is beneficial knowledge.
- 10:20
And when we balance all three of these dimensions of our creation, of our nature, when we give everything its due, in sha Allah, we have protected ourselves from the fire of Jahannam (Hellfire). Now we move on to the second part of the verse, in which Allah says: "wa ahlikum" – and your families; protect yourselves and your families from the Fire.
- 10:45
And as you know, the family is the basic cell of society. So, a collection of families is a community, is a society. Without families there is no society. With corrupted families, society is corrupted. With good-quality families, society is of good quality.
- 11:08
So, which brings us to the conclusion that in order to… if we want to reform society and the entire community, we must start from the family. And the Prophet, alayhis-salam, points this out to us clearly in the hadith where he says: "Allah will not change the condition of a people", of a community, "until they change their own condition." We will mention in general two methods of raising one's family. The first method is the method of direct approach: a direct approach to the child, a direct approach to younger brothers, a brother, a younger sister and so on.
- 11:54
That is the method of direct approach, which includes advice, criticism, praise, and at the very end even restrictive measures. And the Prophet, alayhis-salam, clearly points this out to us in the hadith where he says: "Command your children to perform the prayer from the age of seven" – accustom your children to performing the prayer from the age of seven – and he says: "and from the age of ten give them a light smack." Of course, it is known to what extent and up to what limit. But this, then, is the method of direct approach. And the most beautiful pieces of advice are those mentioned in the Qur'an,
- 12:37
which Allah recorded in the Qur'an and conveys from one of the wisest people in the history of mankind, from the wise Luqman – the well-known Luqman, the well-known and wise Luqman – and his advice to his children.
- 12:55
And Allah the Exalted immortalised that advice by mentioning it in the Qur'an. Also, the best educator, the wisest educator, our teacher, our role model, the Prophet, alayhis-salam – his advice, his pieces of advice and his upbringing are reflected in a hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas, who took part in that event.
- 13:25
He says, on one occasion – since Ibn Abbas was a child at that time – he says: on one occasion, when the Prophet, alayhis-salam, and I were riding a camel, the Prophet, alayhis-salam, addresses me. And he says: "Ya ghulam" – O child, O little boy.
- 13:43
That is an intimate approach to a child. "Ya ghulam" – O boy. "Inni u'allimuka kalimat" – I am teaching you some words. So, remember, focus: I am teaching you some words. "Ihfazillaha yahfazka." Now let us listen carefully, respected brothers, to this advice. "Ihfazillaha yahfazka" – be mindful of Allah, and He will protect you. "Ihfazillaha tajidhu tujahaka" – be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him before you, in the sense that in every trial you will not be alone. And when you ask, when you pray for something, ask of Allah.
- 14:24
"وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ" – and when you seek refuge, when you seek help, seek it from Allah. "وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأُمَّةَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ لَكَ" – and know that if the whole ummah, all the people, gathered together to benefit you with something, they would not benefit you except with what Allah has written for you. And know that if the whole ummah gathered together to harm you with something, to hurt you, they would not harm you except with what Allah has written.
- 15:04
He says: "The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried." This refers to the pens that write destiny. Destiny has already been written, the pages have dried. Pay attention, respected brothers, to this advice. This is advice that makes, that makes real men, that makes firm believers. When you raise your child from an early age, you make him conscious of Allah, so that Allah is in first place for him. When you raise your child to be independent of people, of people who are creatures just like him, to be dependent only on Allah, on the Creator of all creatures.
- 15:45
When you raise your child to be aware, and you establish conviction in what has been written, such advice produces an elite, respected brothers. So let us look at what our advice is like. Is our advice such that we produce upright, straight backbones, or is it some miserable advice from which we produce spineless people? And I conclude with the second method of upbringing, and that is the method of indirect approach.
- 16:19
That is what you do, respected brother. It is not what you say. It is what you do. It is not your theory, it is your practice. And children absorb what they see, not what they hear.
- 16:34
And that is why, if a parent smokes and tells the child: "Don't smoke, it's harmful, it's not good for you" – you're talking in vain when he sees you. If you advise a child: "Don't curse, son, don't be vulgar," and he sees that Dad – every other word he says is a curse – you're talking in vain.
- 16:57
And, respected brothers, that is the greatest problem of upbringing: the gap between theory and practice. Today, thanks be to Allah, we live in a time of an inflation of knowledge, an inflation of formal knowledge. It has never been easier to get to some hadith, to some quotation, to some speech of a scholar. It has never been easier than today, than it is today. But look, look at the reality and our application of it, respected brothers. Our elders, who lived under previous regimes, are a fine example for us,
- 17:38
under regimes that closed mosques, closed madrasas, closed mektebs (Qur'an schools), banned religious activities. And our elders, who, risking their heads, strove to learn the basics of the religion. So, the basics of the religion – they did not know much, but they preserved Islam precisely with, as they say, Al-Hamd (Al-Fatiha), with Rabbi yassir, with Qul huwallahu.
- 18:06
With a few supplications and a few surahs they preserved Islam in times, in times that recall the times the Prophet, alayhis-salam, pointed to, that times will come before the Day of Judgement in which the religion will be like a burning ember in the palm: if you let go of it, you have let go of the religion; if you hold on to it, it will be hard for you, it will burn you, you will suffer, it will not be easy for you. Well, today we live in a kind of comfort zone, in a kind of luxury of tossing around, generally, Islamic quotations.
- 18:45
But in practice we see very little, we see very little application. And truly, among the most beautiful descriptions of the Prophet, perhaps the most beautiful, is the description with which Aisha, radiyallahu anha (may Allah be pleased with her), described him.
- 19:01
When they asked her what he was like – when the companions asked what the Prophet, alayhis-salam, was like. Why did they ask Aisha? Why did they not ask Abu Bakr, as his best friend? Why did they not ask Umar, Uthman? No, they asked Aisha. Because Aisha, radiyallahu anha, was his wife, his spouse, and she knew his private life before his public life.
- 19:29
Because in public we are all such firm Muslims, strong believers, mu'minun. But in private, when you are alone, when you are far from people's eyes, that is your reality. Our private life is our reality.
- 19:45
And if we want to see what we are like in reality, what we are really like, let us look at our private life. And the answer of Aisha, radiyallahu anha, when they asked her what the Prophet, alayhis-salam, was like – she said: "He was the walking Qur'an."
- 20:03
He was the Qur'an that walks. What does that actually mean? It means that in his conduct there was no gap between word and deed, between theory and practice, between what he advocated, what he called to, and what he did and practised.
- 20:24
That, respected brothers, is the secret of successful upbringing. That is the secret by which the Prophet, alayhis-salam, raised generations that at one time fought against the greatest world powers. Imagine, at one time you defeat both Persia and Byzantium.
- 20:43
There is no mathematics or logic that can justify that for you, that can lead to that result. But in fact it is upbringing. It is the upbringing that raised people who were each an institution in themselves.
- 21:00
He sends Mu'adh ibn Jabal to Yemen – the whole of Yemen accepts Islam. He sends another companion over there to Asia – half of Asia accepts Islam. He sends one to Africa – half of Africa accepts Islam. Those people were institutions in themselves.
- 21:15
They were the mekteb (Qur'an school), and the kindergarten, and the school, and the madrasa, and the faculty, and the university in a single person. And in fact the secret of that upbringing lies in these methods of upbringing of the Prophet, alayhis-salatu was-salam.
- 21:31
Respected brothers, let us strive to carry out our trusts in the best possible way. Let us strive to raise ourselves and our families before raising the neighbour, before raising the neighbourhood, because that is what matters most for us, because upbringing, respected brothers, is like sowing seeds.
- 21:52
Sowing seeds. It takes time for the roots to come out, for it to grow, but when it grows, those fruits are the most beautiful, those fruits are the sweetest. Those fruits do not end with our death, as the Prophet, alayhis-salam, says about the three lasting charities (sadaqah).
- 22:11
He says: one of the three lasting charities is a God-fearing, well-raised child whom a person leaves behind, and that child makes supplication for him even after his death. I ask the Exalted Lord to make us true educators. I ask the Exalted Lord to grant us sincerity, so that we are in private the same as we are in public.
- 22:32
I ask the Exalted Lord that we carry this trust of faith, that we carry the trust of khilafah, that we carry the trust of Allah's vicegerency on Earth, and that, in sha Allah, in the end He gathers us together in Jannah (Paradise), just as He has gathered us here today, in the most beautiful company,
- 22:50
in the company of the prophets, the martyrs (shuhada), the good servants of Allah – and what wonderful company that is!
- 22:55
بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لِي وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ وَنَفَعَنِي وَإِيَّاكُمْ بِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ وَالذِّكْرِ الْحَكِيمِ أَقُولُ مَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ لِي وَلَكُمْ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
May Allah bless me and you through the Mighty Qur’an and benefit me and you with the verses and the wise reminder it contains. I say what you hear and ask Allah the Almighty for forgiveness for myself and for you, so ask Him for forgiveness; truly He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
