The Essence of Today's Khutbah Efforts & Deeds! MCC 6/27/25 Imam Saifuddin Sabar i) The Islamic New Year is upon us - take advantage - don't waste it! Our efforts and deeds should balance for the benefits of the Ummah. ii) Don't compromise your Deen. Make Efforts with Deeds for the Best of Everything & Everyone! Make the Right Efforts! The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Path is made Easy for the ones who turns away from the prohibitions & focuses on the divine decree! iii) The Duniya is a short tenure. The soul begins a journey to the afterlife upon death. For the righteous, this journey is peaceful. Every Action & Deeds will be questioned & held accountable by Allah SWT in the Akhirah! iv) The Quran: "The angels and the Soul will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years". Hadith: “The people will stand before the Lord of the worlds for the length of half of a day, which is like fifty thousand years. That day will be made easy for the believer like the sun lowering itself until it has set.” v) Understand the value of Time from Quran and Sunnah ..else you will be lost! Make Time. Invest in Deen. Seventeen rak'ahs daily. Do it with 'khushu'. vi) Value Time! Do not waste it or wait - don't delay! The Prophetic Du'a "O Allah! I seek refuge in You from undesirable manners, deeds, & aspirations” vii) Wasted Efforts: What is the Correct Efforts & What is the Wasted Efforts!? Allah SWT says: “And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives. And that his effort is going to be seen – then he will be rewarded for it with the fullest reward.” viii) Don't loose focus on the 'akhirah'. The Day of Judgment! Recall the story & lessons from the life & times of the Prophets. The Prophet (ﷺ) advised us to prefer 'akhirah', as it is ever-lasting! ix) Good Deeds are rewarded in multiples! Having 'tawakkul' & establishing the 'tawheed' is part & parcel of Good Deeds! Let us reflect on the Lessons & Virtues of Muharram & Hijrah! Among them is Patience & Perseverance. And Justice & Fairplay & Standing up for the Oppressed! x) May ALL our Efforts Serve to bring us Closer to Allah SWT! And Help us Attain His Acceptance & Rahma. Ameen! Ya Rabbal ‘Alamin!
