Obstacles in the Path of Repentance

This is a follow-up khutbah after the Prepare Yourselves khutbah.  After talking about the need to turn back and repent now before it is too late, we now talk about the obstacles that some face in the path of repentance.

 

 

 

A Verse From the Quraan

In the Quraan, Jesus, peace be upon him, says to his people:
“And verily, Allah is my Lord and your Lord.  So worship Him alone.  This is the straight path.”

     (Quraan, 19:36)

Prophetic Hadeeth

"Purification is half of iman (faith). Saying 'Al-Hamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) fills the scales. Saying 'Subhanallah wa al-Hamdulillahi' (Exhalted be Allah and Praise be to Allah) fills the space between the heavens and the earth. Salah (prayer) is a light. Sadaqah (charity) is a proof. Sabr (patience) is a shining glory. The Qur'an is an argument either for you or against you. Everybody goes out in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves."
