Dear\nbrothers, its easy to describe what the Shariah is about in few words, it is to\nencourage good and prevent evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is\nto preserve the 5 essentials rights of a human being, that being his deen, his\nlife, his intellect, his offspring and his property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After\nyour right to practice your faith, the next is your life and your health. We\nall have a right to be healthy and safe from harm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nimam mentioned a hadith in which the Prophet SAWS said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“There is no injury nor\nreturn of injury.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What this means is that you are prohibited from harming\nyourself in order to reach a goal and that you are also not allowed to harm\nothers in order to reach a goal, no matter what it may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear\nbrothers and sisters, the reason for this reminder today is to emphasise that\nwe are in unprecedented times. Never before has an event like this affected us\nall so profoundly and so globally. The whole human race is affected by the\nevents of the past 6 months and it is still affecting us today as you\u2019ve seen\ncoming to the masjid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot\nof people have been directly impacted by the events of the past 6 months. We\nhave lost brothers and sisters to Covid but alongside that, a lot of people\nhave found quality time with family and time to reflect and connect with their\ndeen and with Allah SWT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\nhave experienced the first Ramadan without the lifeline of our massajids, an\nEid without spending time with our loved ones from other households, and a\nsuspension of normality in all aspects of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only\nnow we are beginning to see some form of normality, as of this week our\nmassajids are reopening their doors. However, understand that this is not the\nsame as before April. Things have changed and will continue to remain this way\nfor a while to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And\nwhilst we are all desperate for life to return, for the most part, to how it\nwas before, we cannot take short cuts to getting there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\nis what is means to adhere to Shariah, we are encouraging good in following the\nrules and we are directly doing so to preserve our health and our lives. Yes,\nit\u2019s inconvenient to do ablution at home, yes it\u2019s inconvenient to bring prayer\nmats and your shoes in a carrier bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But\nremember, by doing this, we are practicing Shariah, we are setting an example\nto others and we are following the advice of our beloved Prophet SAWS when he\nwas mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By\ndoing so, we are showing Allah SWT that we are worthy of being permitted back\ninto his House once again and we are worthy of being labelled those who adhere\nto the definition of Shariah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
