Friday sermon, September 18, 2026: 'We made from water every living thing'
First Sermon (Khutbah One) All praise is due to Allah, whose favour encompasses all His creation, who has lavished His blessings upon them, and who, out of His boundless generosity, has provided them with water. We bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and we bear witness that our master and Prophet Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allah. May Allah’s peace, blessings,…
Allah's gratitude is due, and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah. The sermon emphasizes the importance of remembering Allah and appreciating water as a divine blessing. Water is the foundation of life on Earth, creating vegetation and sustaining all living creatures. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used water sparingly when performing ablutions and bathing, demonstrating the need for responsible water usage.
Excessively wasting water is considered a misuse of a precious blessing and disregarding the trust placed in humans. On the Day of Resurrection, people will be questioned about their blessings, with water being one of the significant gifts to be accounted for.
