ALHAMDULILLAH - mohsie - 05-15-2005
Yesterday, the khutbah at my mosque was about the word ALHAMDULILLAH... being thankful to Allah, for the bad, as well as the good. The Arabic word "Hamd" meaning "Praise" is a word used ONLY for thanking Allah... And it is just so good to be grateful to Allah for EVERYTHING. Remember that the first word of the Holy Qur'an is "ALHAMDULILLAH" ... If we can't live by that one word, how will we ever be able to live by the whole Qur'an, the Book of Allah?
Another part of the khutbah was about love. Allah gave us the love for our families (Mashallah! Nothing good like spending a good day with your family, spending time together, bonding etc. May Allah bless our families and help us all stay together in love and in harmony. Ameen.), our careers, and love for money... yes that is from Allah too! Yet, Shaitaan uses it the most to misguide us from the Path of Allah. We ARE expected to live in this world, have a career, earn money, and enjoy life in general. However, we should NEVER EVER forget that all these things are temporary. They have just been loaned to us by Allah as a "free trial". If we use these things correctly, in the way specified by Allah, and we ALWAYS remember to thank Him, then we will inshallah be able to have these things permanently in the Hereafter...

Bismillah
It reminds me much of how people really forget that they physically own nothing, that it is all belong to Allah, and they go on my car, my house, my summer house.....etc Sobhan Allah.
