Madeenah Jumu'ah Khutbah Extract Sheikh Abdullah Buayjaan
15th Shawwal 1444H | 05th May 2023
Brothers and Sisters in Islam , Allah created humans for His obedience and prohibited them from his disobedience . He made the dunya - the worldly life - a place of tests and trials while he made the hereafter a lasting home . From the wisdom of Allah is that He surrounded Heaven with difficulties and He surrounded the hellfire with desires and trials . Thus , whoever removes the veil reaches what is covered .
Brothers and Sisters , the main purpose , the greatest goals , the general interests which Islam is built on , and the foundations which rulings are based on are the following : preserving religion , life , intellect , wealth , and lineage . Servants of Allah , those are the pillars of Islam . If Islam only legislated rulings to preserve and consider these goals , then anything that goes against them is from the worst of crimes and transgressions . Those acts are destructive sins , forms of aggression , and a means of spreading corruption .
Verily , one of the greatest afflictions and calamities and the most severe distresses and afflictions is for a person to become his own enemy . It is the most catastrophic burden and hardship ; the greatest misfortune . Subsequently , one ruins his health , destroys his mind , squanders his wealth , violates his honor . He wastes his life , his family and his religion . He sells himself for a cheap price in exchange for drugs or other evils . Thus , he replaces health with sickness and well - being with pain and suffering . He replaces joy and happiness with worries , sorrows and regrets . Ultimately he loses both this world and the Hereafter .
Don't cry over those who are killed or are hungry ... cry on those who are lost through the influence of drugs . Death is more beautiful than a life in which one's intellect is not protected .... nor are the needs of life given any attention . How evil is the one who buys what destroys his body .... how evil is the one who produces it and sells it . What's wrong with drugs ? If only they saw their lords as pure evil ... How wicked are they and they are wasted . Especially this desire ; Fortresses and strongholds ... Have been forcefully demolished by its destruction . Every nation struggles to fight it .... How much has been lost and how many fear it .
Drugs are lethal weapons and a treacherous enemy . They destroy one's health , mind , and comprehension , leading a person to destruction . Enemies have exploited this weapon , taking on treacherous traitors as allies and foolish ones as assistants and guardians . They smuggle , promote , and sell them . As a result , they destroy minds , ruin the future , and destroy values and ethics . It is necessary to take decisive action against them and cooperate with concerned authorities to eradicate their existence with strength .
Servants of Allah , Allah has made commanding good and forbidding evil among our religious duties , in line with personal interests , and from common sense . Therefore , to remain silent and cover up for drug dealers is one of the greatest sins and wrongdoings , and one of the causes of afflictions and trials . Therefore , strive for commanding the good and forbidding the evil , as it is the path to success and a means of rectification .

Woe for the one who has wronged himself through drug use , and does not repent to Allah , whilst Allah has opened the doors of Tawbah for him . Woe for the one who has seen with his own eyes the path of destruction of drugs and has seen the misfortune that befalls those who take them , and still does not take heed or learn .
O Muslims , All of you are shepherds , and all of you are responsible for their flock . So fear Allah in your responsibilities for they are a trust in your care . Know that you will be asked about them tomorrow in front of Allah for they are witnesses against you and their testament will be written down and they will be asked . Whichever Shephard which Allah has entrusted over a flock , becomes deceitful , will become forbidden from entering paradise .
How many fathers who neglected their children to the point that bad company misled them , then they entered the world of drugs , have become remorseful , but their remorse does not benefit them . How many fathers were busy away from nurturing their children without taking heed , except that enemies and bad company took advantage of them , desires overcame them , they fell into deadly swamps , and then left their father's control . It is sufficient to be considered a sin , that a person wastes those who depend on him.
May Allah be grateful for their efforts , and may Allah preserve these lands through His protection . May He protect them through His protection . May Allah protect them from evil of the evil doers , plots of the transgressors and may He grant success to their rulers to carry out every form of goodness O Lord of the Worlds .
