| Your Key to Happiness: As-salaah |
|
Every single living being, male or female, Muslim or non-Muslim, desires for and wishes to achieve that true, lasting, inner peace and tranquility of the heart. As discussed on a previous khutbah, in reality, the only way to achieve this is through the remembrance of Allaah. And as we know, this is the very purpose of the prayer: remembrance of Allaah. This khutbah is a reminder about this pillar of Islaam, it's central and vital purpose in Islaam, and all of the benefits that salaah brings to our life and to our Hereafter.

“O my servants who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Quraan, 39:53) |
"Allah the Almighty has said: 'O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and hope in Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds in the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I shall forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with an earthful of sins and were you then to face Me, without having associated anything with Me, I shall grant you an earthful of pardon.'" At-Tirmithi |
