Doha Islamic Events

One of the unique attributes about the very essence of Islam is the direct relationship that the Muslim has with the creator, without the need for an intermediary - when in need, we can ask Allah for our needs, at any time, in any respectful location!

Sheikh Abu Hanifah continues the discussion from his last session, now discussing verses 3-5 of Surah Hujairat.

Akhlaq is good character and moral conduct - the practice of virtue, morality and Islamic manners. Akhlaq are the inner attributes of a person that form habits and character and lead to moral conduct. “The most beloved of you to Allah is the best of you in character” (Bukhari) How can we improve our Akhlaq and bring out the best in our nature? Pray for guidance and think deeply upon the guidance you have been given in the Qur'an and Hadith. Contemplate upon it. This khutba explores one principle. This principle will help you develop your akhlaq. It is also the expression of your akhlaq. “Whoever would love to be delivered from the Hellfire and entered into Paradise, then let him die with faith in Allah and the Last Day, and let him treat the people the way he would love to be treated.”[Musnad Ahmad, Number 6768, Sahih] “Whoever would be delighted to be delivered from the Hellfire and entered into Paradise, then let him die while he witnesses that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is His serv

Reflect upon the following verses of the Qur’an: 2:208, 6:142, 35:6. It is vital to be aware that everyone is in a struggle against Shaitan. He blames us for his failing, his misguidance, and we must be wary of falling into the same trap. Don’t think that because you are on the right path that you won’t suffer from any trials, tribulations or battles, for indeed your enemy will constantly try to misguide you. You have to be aware, hold yourself to account, keep your guard up, know your enemy, and learn how to protect yourself. Shaitan’s goal for us is to have us to fall into kufr “denial of the truth”. Allah has given us some tools with which we can seek protection. These tools must be used with SINCERITY AND UNDERSTANDING for them to be effective, and include: - Morning and evening suplications (dua), with your heart present in the supplication, with mindfulness and being present. Ponder their meaning of the supplications and seek the protection with sincerity. - True belief consisting of Tawheed

Sheikh Hazem describes the importance of the sunnah (following the teachings of the final prophet), and how this leads directly to salvation.

In this video Abu Hanifah discusses Sura Al-Hujurat (the chambers) ayat 1-2. Topics and themes of this sura include; * how to build our families and communities. How to deal with each other, * do not mock other groups, nations, peoples etc., * do not precede before the prophet (learn the rulings of Allah and Allah's messengers first), * do not innovate in religion (avoid bid'ah), * have piety (act upon the rules of Allah hoping for a reward), * have taqwa (refrain from disobedience of Allah to seek a barrier or shield from Allah's punishment but rather carry out Allah's orders and instructions. Do what is obligated; refrain from what is prohibited, according to Qur'an and Sunnah), * be pleased with little, * know that Allah is all perceptive and all knowing, (Take warning.) * do not ascribe deficiencies to Allah, (Allah knows all the words that you utter, and all the impulses of your heart that you do not utter. Know that Allah is with you always), * Do not raise your voices above the voice of the prophet

In this foundational video, Sheikh Shahed Razaque explains the importance of knowledge and scholarship in Islam.

Sheikh Hazem discusses the importance of submitting and submission - the meaning of the word 'islam', with examples from the previous prophets, the companions, and Islamic societies. This is all discussed in the backdrop of whether we should submit when the ruling makes rational sense, or whether true submission is only found when we hear a command, and hasten to obey.

Sheikh Hazem details the merits, rewards, and the obligation of praying in a congregation in this short sermon.

Sheikh Hazem describes the actions that result in that not only are rewarded, but lead to and bring about happiness in this life as well as the next.

Sheikh Hazem describes the nature of the tests that follow the inevitable - Death. Once we pass on, this khutbah focusses upon the matters that happen to the heedless Muslim - a real reminder to remind us to return to good in this life!

Sheikh Hazem describes who is the one who is Heedless, and what can be done to overcome it.

Sheikh Hazem details the rights that are due to the husband, all in the backdrop of the nature of the relationship within a marriage - love and mutual respect.

Every verse, whether short or long has detailed lessons that everyone can derive from them, and in this short reminder, Sheikh McCarthy touches upon just a few lessons that can be obtained from Surah Adiyat.

Sheikh Hazem continues the theme of the rights of children, where he discusses that rights of the unborn child, illustrating how Islam as a complete way of life has complete perspective on every matter that we may face.

Sheikh Hazem describes the rights that are due to the child, including those that are afforded prior to the child's birth, right through to their maturity.

Sheikh Hazem in this emotional reminder describes the rights that our parents have over us, and the types of children we should strive to become.

Sheikh Hazem describes the intensity of the work that each Muslim undertakes during the month of Ramadan, and reminds us to continue and to persevere, and to ensure that we never become like the one who tied a rope tightly, only to complete the task and then to set about undoing the hard work.

Now that the month has ended, and we celebrate Eid, Sheikh Abu Hanifah tells us how we know whether our fasts have been accepted, and how our behaviour changes for the year ahead.

Sheikh Muslehuddin details the lessons that we should take from the month of Ramadan, and how we should change our character for the months and years ahead.
