Dear blessed Muslims,
Alhamdulillaah, on this day of Friday that is full of barakah (blessings), let us
altogether strive to increase our taqwa of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala in its truest
sense. That is by always remaining vigilant in all of our daily affairs, so that they are
always in accordance and coincides with the will of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala and
His Messenger, and away from His prohibitions. May we attain barakah in our lives in this
world and success in the Hereafter.
Let us altogether ponder upon the khutbah today titled “MERCY TO THE
WORLDS.”
Before proceeding with the khutbah, I would like to remind respected audience
upon the reminder of Rasulullah ﷺin giving full attention to the khutbah being
delivered. Do not speak and pursue matters that are in vain, which includes using the
mobile phone while the khateeb is delivering the khutbah.
Dear beloved audience,
The month of Rabee‘ al-Awwal is the month of the birth of our great Prophet
Muhammad SAW. He was sent as mercy to the worlds. The birth of the Messenger SAW
marked the beginning point for the perfection of Islam,s and the completion to all of the
Sharee„ah (Laws) that were brought by previous Messengers. We should be proud and
grateful, for having been chosen by Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala, in becoming the
ummah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, whom is the leader of all Prophets.
Rasulullah SAW had celebrated his birthday by fasting on Monday. In an authentic
narration from Abu Qatadah al-Ansaari radiyAllaahu „anh, he said:

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) was also asked about fasting on Monday, and
he replied, “This is the day on which I was born and the day on which I was
commissioned with prophethood or the day on which I received revelation.”
(Muslim)
It is clear here that celebrating Mawlid ar-Rasul is not an offense. However, the
activities conducted in its celebration must fall within the category of „ibaadah (worship)
unto Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala, and leads to obedience that would increase the love
for His Messenger. Activities that are to be carried out due to Mawlid ar-Rasul such as
sending salawaat, reciting qaseedah (poem) in praising Prophet Muhammad ﷺ,
engaging in dhikr, organizing knowledge circles and sporting events as practiced by our
communities in the past, all are deeds that are good and should be continued.
It is through these practices that our young generation today can be introduced to
Rasulullah ﷺ. Amongst the qaseedah that praises the Prophet ﷺis the one
composed by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Sa‘eed al-Busayri:
ََا َ َ
ُم َح امد َس ُِّ ُد اله ْىه ْي ِن َوالثقل ْي ِن

“Muhammad, leader of the two worlds and of man and the jinn,
Leader also of the Arabs and non-Arabs and their kin.
Beloved by Allah is he upon whose pleading we depend
From terrors of the Day of Judgement, which on us descend.”
Dearest audience,
At a time when the Muslim ummah is hideously attacked with perverted ideological
thoughts, we truly need a program that thoroughly internalizes the sunnah of the Prophet
SAW such as these to save today’s generation from being subconsciously poisoned by
the enemies of Islam, whom relentlessly strike from all corners. Reviving the sunnah of
the Prophet SAW and nurturing the love for the Prophet is not restricted to celebrating
Mawlid ar-Rasul alone. Moreover, it should be continuous for as long as one is still
breathing, for Rasulullah is mercy (rahmah) for us at all times. Allah Subhaanahu Wa
Ta„aala mentions in verse 107 of soorah al-Anbiyaa’:
1

“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the
worlds.”
According to Tafseer at-Tabari, some of the scholars are of the opinion that
Prophet Muhammad SAW as mercy to the words refers to mercy upon the believers and
disbelievers. This is based upon the explanation of ibn ‘Abbaas radiyAllaahu „anhuma that
those having belief in Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala and the Last Day will attain mercy in
this world and the Hereafter, while those disbelieving in Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala
and His Messenger will not be spared from the torment of Allah (swallowed into the
earth’s belly or pelted with stones from the sky).
The mercy of the Prophet SAW permeates through noble akhlaaq shown upon
friends and foes, without any element of feud or vangeance. The mercy of Prophet
Muhammad SAW radiates in calling mankind to the pleasure of Allah Subhaanahu Wa
Ta„aala and preventing mankind from kufr (disbelief) and disobedience. The mercy of the
Prophet SAW manifests as one who was sent to curb mankind’s desire from wickedness
and destruction, while not promoting or nurturing perverted desire and immorality. The
rahmah of the Messenger SAW is not exclusive to humans alone, but encompasses the
animals, plants, and everything in the universe.
Emulating the akhlaaq taught by Prophet Muhammad SAW is the only way for us
to attain the love of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala and His Forgiveness. We as Muslims
definitely yearn to always remain under the love and forgiveness of Allah Subhaanahu Wa
Ta„aala. Therefore, Allah has sent Prophet Muhammad SAW for us to follow and as great
exemplary in achieving those objectives.
Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala mentions in verse 31 of soorah Aal-‘Imraan:

“O Allah‟s Messenger (SAW)! You are dearer to me than everything except my
own self.” The Prophet (SAW) said, “No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you
will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your own self.” Then „Umar
said to him, “However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my own self.” The
Prophet (SAW) said, “Now, O „Umar, (now you are a believer).”
(al-Bukhaari)
Respected Muslims,
Loving Rasulullah SAW completes the imaan (faith) of a Muslim. This matter is
often deemed as trivial by some Muslims today. At times, their love for other human being
far surpasses their love for the Prophet SAW, hence it is of no surprise that Muslims today
would have no qualm in committing munkar (transgression) in attaining the pleasure of
fellow human being, while leaving out matters that are loved by Rasulullah SAW.
Let us emulate the great love that the Companions ridwanAllaahu „alayhim
ajma„een had for Rasulullah SAW. Their love for him was very deep and profound,
surpassing their love for other humans, causing them to imitate every single act taught by
the Prophet SAW, from the greatest to the smallest, such that those that have never met
the Prophet SAW would think that some of the Companions are actually the Prophet SAW
himself, due to their noble akhlaaq manifested that is very similar to the beautiful akhlaaq
of Rasulullah ﷺ.
Dear beloved audience,
To conclude our khutbah, I implore and invite all Muslims to thoroughly internalize
upon the following lessons to be taken as guidance in our lives:
1. The Muslim ummah must cultivate the seeds of long-lasting love and
affection for our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW through authentic Islamic lessons
regarding the manners and characteristics of Rasulullah.
2. The Muslim ummah must always take Prophet Muhammad SAW as its
utmost exemplary and role model in administering its household with justice,
responsibility, and affection.
3. We as the Muslim ummah must get our offspring acquainted with the
Prophet SAW while they are still young, so that they will grow up knowing the akhlaaq and
personality of the Prophet ﷺ, honoring the Prophet as their very role model.
4. The akhlaaq of the Prophet SAW must be instilled within our daily affairs,
regardless of the background, status, and stature that we are enjoying now.

“Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on
before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to
unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah
will reward the grateful.”

Dear blessed audience,
Once again, I would like to remind all of us to always have the taqwa of Allah
Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala and realize that Islam teaches us to remain moderate in every
actions and deeds. As Muslims, we are to manifest noble akhlaaq, having utmost
personality and attitude for Rasulullah ﷺwas sent to perfect akhlaaq and as mercy for
the entire mankind and the worlds. Therefore, let us always increase our salawaat and
salaam upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta„aala mentions:
“Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to
do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask
[Allah to grant him] peace.”

O Allah, You are the Lord that is All Mighty, we are grateful to You for having
bestowed upon us rahmah and ni„mah, that we are able to continue the effort in
empowering the Muslim ummah, as an advanced state, prosperous and providing
welfare, under the auspices and leadership of our Ruler as the Head of Islamic affairs in

according to that of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamaa„ah, accept our righteous deeds, cultivate
our soul with good mannerisms, unite our hearts, bestow upon us rizq with blessings,
enrich us with beneficial knowledge, protect us from disasters and save us from teachings
that are outside the fold of Islam such as Qadiyaani, deviant teachings such as Shee„ah,
and other teachings deemed as deviating from Islamic teachings or contradicting the
creed of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamaa„ah. O Allah, open up our hearts in performing the five
daily prayers, fulfilling zakaat through Lembaga Zakat Selangor (Selangor Zakaat Board),
making waqf and infaaq of our wealth to Perbadanan Wakaf Negeri Selangor (Selangor
Waqf Corporation), and Tabung Amanah Pembangunan Islam Selangor (Islamic
Development Trust Fund of Selangor).
