Last week:
Today's Friday Sermon was based on the following Hadith:
“Take benefit of five before five:
your youth before your old age,
your health before your sickness,
your wealth before your poverty,
your free-time before your preoccupation,
and your life before your death.”

The Imam stressed on the fact that once we loose our youth, physical activity will be tougher. So he urged the youth to do more Ibadah now itself. Also he said one can never be sure if he/she will be alive to see the next day.

He Also mentioned two Examples of our pious predecessors on how meticulous they were while Doing good deeds.

1. Abdullah ibn Mubarak (ra) was once fighting in a war for Islam. When it was time for Salat, he went to a river nearby, tied his horse and made wudu. By the time he finished Salat, the horse had wandered to a nearby field and ate the crops. Abdullah ibn Mubarak (ra) was very disheartened as the horse ate the crops without the permission of the fields Owner. He then insisted the owner to keep the horse. And he got another horse and said he cannot strive in the way of Allah on a horse that has consumed what did not belong to it.

2. Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (ra) once heard that a man far of in Damascus has got a specific hadith. So he traveled to Damascus to meet the person. When he reach there he saw the man with a donkey and has put more than the donkey can carry. The donkey refused to move forward, so the man tricked the donkey with an empty basket as if it has food in it. The donkey hence moved forward think the basket had food in it. Seeing this Imam Hanbal refused to seek the Hadith from this man and returned back.

Todays Sermon was based on the following Hadith:
It is narrated that, The prophet Muhammad

said: “The son of Adam will not pass away from Allah until he is asked about five things:
how he lived his life,
how he utilized his youth,
with what means did he earn his wealth,
how did he spend his wealth, and
what did he do with his knowledge.”
(At-Tirmithi)

The Imam also mentioned to do more good deeds to please Allah, for He will be merciful to those who does good deeds.
