Haj sermon 2019: 'Embrace high morals, get rid of hatred'

He urged all Muslims to pray for each other by terming them as 'brothers'.

MAKKAH (Dunya News) – Imam Al-Shaykh Muhammad bin Hassan, in his sermon on the day of Arafat as part of the Muslim pilgrimage (Haj), urged the Muslim Ummah to eradicate hate from within, adopt to the true essence of morality and ethics, and strive to implement political and economical structure in accordance with the religion of Islam.

From Masjid-e-Nimra, he addressed more than two million Muslim pilgrims from around the world, who have converged in Makkah for rituals that retrace the Holy Prophet Mohammed s last pilgrimage to Mecca.

He pointed out that Allah Almighty doesn’t like arrogance, and the Almighty has created men and jinn for his worship.

“Muslims should choose a path of righteousness, strongly hold the belief of the unity of God […] whosoever fears Allah, Allah saves him from the fears of this world and hereafter […] O wise people! Ponder over the Universe and its system,” Imam Al-Shaykh Muhammad preached in his sermons to Muslims.

He further mentioned: “Human beings will enter into paradise by Allah’s mercy and grace […] and the path of piety leads to success […] keep yourself prostrate before the God and make a habit of reciting the Holy Quran.”

“He who strives to purify himself [from sins], Allah bestows him purity,” he stated, while urging Muslims to be obedient to call for obligatory prayers as it is an important pillar of Islam.

He further said that indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to those who are kind-hearted, and it is by the grace of Almighty that people are saved from devils’ whispers.

He urged all Muslims to pray for each other by terming them as ‘brothers’.

Sheikh Mohammad bin Hassan asserted that Islam has preached for being compassionate towards parents, children, relatives, and all the creatures.

He said Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) has described the entire Muslim Ummah as one human body, signifying that pain in one organ affects the entire body.

He said Muslims have been asked to strictly follow the path of Allah and refrain from getting divided.  He said the Muslims who have piety and righteousness are given preference to other Muslims in Islam.

Sheikh Mohammad bin Hassan said Allah Almighty s blessings have no boundaries. He said Muslims should always seek Allah s blessings and they should never get depressed.

Imam Sheikh Mohammad bin Hassan appreciated the Saudi government for making excellent arrangements for Hujjaj.
