Translation of Khutba （Friday March 09 2012）
All the Praise be to Allah, the Creator of all the universe. And Assalat Wassalam on prophet Muhammad (‫هللا ع ل يه و س لم‬
‫ص لى‬
S.A.W. : May Allah’s peace and blessings be up him) , his household and his companions.
The purpose of creation of all human beings and the Jinns, Allah S.W.T. says in the Quran in Surah Az-Zariyat :
“I have not created men and Jinn except for worshiping Me.” (S.51 V.56)
The scholars in explaining this Ayah say, “Know Allah.” Rasool S.A.W. said, “My brother prophets have called to the
Kalimah La Ilaha Illal Lah and I also call to the Kalimah La Ilaha Illal Lah only.” That there is none worthy of worship
except Allah. Allah says in the Quran in Surah Muhammad:
“So know (O Muhammad S.A.W. ) that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and ask forgiveness for your sin, and
also for the sin of believing men and believing women. And Allah knows well your moving about and your place of rest.”
(S.47 V.19)
This is an order for men and women to learn and understand and acquire the knowledge contained in the Kalimah La
Ilaha Illal Lah . We are the Ummah of Muhammad S.A.W. and it is our responsibility to acquire the Knowledge of this
Kalimah which means to understand the Din of Islam, practice it and then call others to it. In Masjid-e-Nabavi I used to
ask people, what was the purpose of coming to the Holy Mosques and what we should do in these Mosques. And what
we can take from these Mosques.
Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. worked for 13 years in Makkah after becoming the prophet of Allah and the Iman of the
people who embraced Islam during that time was as strong as mountain. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. is model for us
and so are his Companions. We must take guidance from them. Rasool S.A.W. said, “My Companions are like Stars if
you will follow them and obey them you will be guided.” We should follow the footsteps of the Companions of Rasool
S.A.W.
Commandment for Salat came 10-1/2 years later. Six persons from Madina met Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. in Mina.
He called them to the Kalimah La Ilaha Illal Lah and they accepted. At that time his Companions Abu Bakr (R.A.) and
Ali (R.A.) were with him. Abu Bakr (R.A.) being a trader knew these people from Madina and guided Rasool S.A.W. to
their tents. The Madina people went back to Madina and started to call people to the the Kalimah La Ilaha Illal Lah after
telling their people about Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.and his prophethood.
We are the Ummah of Muhammad S.A.W. and he is the last prophet. We the Muslims are the last Ummah. There will
be no Prophet after Muhammad S.A.W. and there will be no Ummah after the Ummah of Prophet after Muhammad
S.A.W . It is the duty of every Muslim, men and women to call people to the Kalimah La Ilaha Illal Lah. To the Din of
Allah. Rasool S.A.W. has commanded us, “Deliver to people even one Ayah that you know.”
O Allah! Guide us to the straight path that leads to salvation and paradise.
O Allah! Give us the ability to follow the characteristic, actions, statements, and the legal ways of the prophet (s a w).
O Allah! Forgive all our sins
O Allah! Accept us for Your service and for the Service of Islam and Muslims
O Allah! Give us strength of Iman
O Allah! Accept all of us Dawah worker in Japan
O Allah! Guide all the people in Japan and all over the world to Islam
O Allah! Give rizq in abundance to all Muslims in Japan
O Allah! Give shifa to those who are sick
O Allah! Grant safety and security in Japan and all over the world
Aamin ya Rabbil Aalamin
