The importance of leadership in the Jama´ah 

 

Imam Hajj Abdulhasib Castineira

 

الحمد لله على نعمة الإسلام والحمد لله على نعمة الجماعة والحمدلله‏على الأخوة والوفاء وعلى التعاون على البر والتقوى، نحمده تعالى ونستعينه، ونشكره تعالى ونستغفره ونستغيثه، نعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا، من يهد الله فهو المهتد ومن يضلل فلن تجد له وليا مرشدا، ونشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك و له الحمد، يحيي ويميت، بيده الخير، وهو على كل شيء قدير، ونشهد أن سيدنا و مولانا محمداً عبده ورسوله، وحبيبَه وصفيَّه، بلغ الرسالة وأدّى الأمانةَ ونصح الأمة، النبي الأمي الذي أرسله الله بالهدى والدين الحق، بشيرا ونذيرا بين يدي الساعة، صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى آله وأصحابه ومن تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين

أما بعد! فيا عباد الله اتقوا الله حق تقاته ولا تموتن إلا وأنتم مسلمون. يأيها الذين ءامنوا اتقوا الله وقولوا قولا سديدا يصلح لكم أعمالكم ويغفر لكم ذنوبكم. ومن يطع الله ورسوله فقد فاز فوزا عظيما. اتقوا الله فيما أمر وانتهوا عما نها عنه وزجر.

يأيها المسلمون!  يقول الله تعالى في محكم آياته وهو أصدق القائلين:

اِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اَ۬للَّهَ يَدُ اُ۬للَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْۖ  فَمَن نَّكَثَ فَإِنَّمَا يَنكُثُ عَلَيٰ نَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَنَ اَوْف۪يٰ بِمَا عَٰهَدَ عَلَيْهِ اِ۬للَّهَ فَسَنُوتِيهِ أَجْراً عَظِيماٗۖ 

Allah says in His noble Book, the translation of which is: 

Those who pledge you their allegiance, pledge allegiance to Allah. Allah’s hand is over their hands. He who breaks his pledge only breaks it against himself. But as for him who fulfils the contract he has made with Allah, We will pay him an immense reward.” (Surat al-Fath. 48:10) Continue reading “Mawsim Khutbah October 14th 2022 “

Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi at the Jumu’a Mosque of Cape Town

 

Audhu billahi-minash-shaytanir rajeem

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

We are gathered here this weekend to celebrate the birthday of Shaykh Abdalqadir as – Sufi. To really celebrate him we need to remind ourselves of his teaching and what he brought us throughout his life. He did not call to himself, but to the remembrance of Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallim, and what was established in Madinah as a blueprint for all of mankind, the Deen established and practiced in its purest and most perfect form. 

As he said at the start of Root Islamic Education: 

“Islam is not, and can never be, by definition, in crisis or need of revisionist change, Islam, Kitab wa Sunnah, is immutable in all places until the end of time. It is itself a critique and balance-principle against which all human ventures must be measured and themselves revised and changed”.

MAWSIM CAPE TOWN

Mawsim of Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi

may Allah be pleased with him

16th October 2022, Cape Town

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah

Allah has gathered us all together in this blessed Jumu’ah mosque, in this blessed city of the mountain, sea and awliya, to honour the blessed life of sayyidina Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi, may Allah have mercy on him, as was fore-ordained before anything came into existence. Each person is here because He, subhanahu wa ta’ala, decreed that it should happen; it is His will and for His purpose.

Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala, has made clear to mankind that He wants us to know Him in His Mercy and Majesty, and to that end He brought forth creation, which was firstly recorded in a book, from beginning to end. Nothing and no one outsteps what Allah wants, either in time or place, whether sun, sand particle, animal, jinn or human being.
