Khutbah - Reconcilliation - 16 December 2011
Khutbah by Shaykh Sadullah Khan
A cardinal principle in the equation of human relationships is that all members of every human community should learn to care deeply about themselves and about other members of the community, as well as to act in ways that are supportive of the vital interests of all. Wise ones have said that among the most important ingredients in the formula for a successful and fulfilling life is knowing how to get along with people.
Tribute: Imam Muhammad Yusuf Purkar
Habibia Soofie Saheb Masjid acknowledges the community service of a son of the institution, Imam Muhammad Yusuf Purkar. He served the Masjid for many years and he was extremely dedicated in what he did. He leaves behind his wife, 2 sons, 1 daughter and 2 brothers. May Allah, The Most High, place Noor in his grave and grant him a high abode in Paradise. We appeal to everyone to remember him in your du`aas.
Naseeha: Deliberate before making any worldly commitments
Live your life in this world with moderation and always deliberate before making any commitment. In short, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Hasan al-Basri (Rahimahullah) said: “Beware of your commitments that you make in this world, for the world has a way of consuming a person. A person makes a commitment to one thing and he finds himself involved in ten other commitments. (Hilyatul Awilya, Vol:2, Pg: 153)

Ummah demands answers on Hajj debacle
The Hajj industry in South Africa has gone beyond facilitating a sacred fundamental of the Shariah and has become a landscape for power struggles, white collar crimes, and allegations of money laundering and direct violations of Islamic law. In honouring the decision to facilitate a probe into the Hajj scandal, Channel Islam International conducted a discussion on Wednesday night piloted by Global Dynamic presenter, Inayat Wadee. The discussion focused on the United Ulama Council of South Africa (UUCSA), their role in the Hajj industry and their stance in bringing about solutions.
Tabligh to Muslims
"Why does the Tabligh Jamaat go mostly to Muslims?"
Why does Tabligh Jamaat preach, teach, talk, and walk amongst mostly Muslims. Firstly, many times the Tabligh Jamaat because of their conspicuous nature have to work and give Da'wah to non- Muslims. This happens at bus stops, railway platforms, airport areas and on the road.
Secondly, when someone is doing well in accordance to the Shari'ah, then allow them to carry on. No one is stopping one from giving Da'wah to non-Muslims provided one knows the Shar'i requirements and perimeters for this important responsibility. Thirdly, in the Shari'ah we have many examples to prove that teaching, learning and advising Muslims was done.
