Friday Sermon
Upholding the Truth Always …..
I seek refuge in Allah from accursed Satan, the one that misleads; I begin in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.Praise be to Allah, the Creator of all that exists, The Beneficent, the Merciful. Allah it is who has power over all without any insufficiency. He is far above all. May His peace and blessings be upon all Holy Prophets and Messengers and their sincere followers, Amin.I bear witness that Prophet Mohammed (SAW) is His Messenger and a perfect example of a worshipper of Allah. May the Almighty Allah bless the Holy Prophet (SAW) his household and followers as was on Prophet Ibraheem, his household and followers.
Quran 61 vs 2-3 states clearly that believer should say only that which truth as anything is less is most hateful in the sight of Allah. For those who believe in Allah and the last day. Their shield is Allah and as such, they only fear Allah and no human beings. They are upright and uphold upright virtues whether they are alone or are amongst people. They do behave differently in different for a.
It is sad to note that today, a lot of people have different attitude and behaviors for different for because they have kept the spiritual lessons in this verse in the shelve forgetting that, this abode is a temporary one and that of the hereafter.
The triple effects of this behaviou cannot be under estimated. It has led to bad leadership corruption, hyprocrysy, etc.
I therefore enjoin us as Muslims to be true believers of Allah and uphold the truth always.
We all have an account to give in the world to come!

Allah it is who has power over all without any insufficiency. He is far above all. May His peace and blessings be upon all Holy Prophets and Messengers and their sincere followers, Amin.I bear witness that Prophet Mohammed (SAW) is His Messenger and a perfect example of a worshipper of Allah. May the Almighty Allah bless the Holy Prophet (SAW) his household and followers as was on Prophet Ibraheem, his household and followers.I testify that it is only sincere worship as exemplified in the Prophets of Allah and His Messengers that is the only path to righteousness. All believers should therefore turn to Him to attain righteousness. Righteousness should not stop at the self but for others as well. Sincerely, it is high time believers ask themselves how far and at what point they are in the search for righteousness and calling others to the path.Recent developments have shown that only a few believers pay attention to following the path of righteousness let alone have the right knowledge to call others to the path. The common explanation given is that ‘My schedule is very busy’ “I will settle down to the path of righteousness after achieving all I want to achieve in life”, etc.Allah States clearly in the Holy Quran Surah 7 Vs.26 thus: “O ye children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you but the raiment of righteousness that is the best. Such are among the signs of Allah that they may receive admonition!”Allah enjoins us further in Quran, Surah 24 vs 55
“Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds that He will of a surety grant them in the land inheritance (of power) as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state) after the fear in which they (lived) to one of security and peace: `They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me.' If any do reject faith after this they are rebellious and wicked.”
Let us all therefore rise up and uphold the path of righteousness and also call others to it. We should remember always that Allah has not created us for any other purpose but for His worship. Every other purpose after this is secondary. Culled from the Friday sermon delivered by the Rasool Shafau (Imitizala Muhammed) Alhaji (Engr.)
