The Khutbah of ‘Eed Al-Fitr -I
02/08/2018| IslamWeb
First Khutbah:
Allahu Akbar (i.e. Allah is The Greatest) is our symbol in this ‘Eed … Allah is greater than all tyrants… Allahu Akbar … and all perfect praise is due to Allah Who enabled us to fast this month.
O Muslims! Allah Has written Mercy upon Himself. During these days, we Muslims celebrate the festival of ‘Eed Al-Fitr, and every nation has its own festivals.
This day is a great one indeed, as it comes after the Muslims have fulfilled their fast for the entire month alongside other great acts of worship.
This is a day of joy and happiness for each Muslim to rejoice and make his family, household and other Muslims feel happy, and therefore, Allah has legislated that the rich and capable spend and pay Zakatul-Fitr so that the poor will not be deprived from rejoicing and feeling happy as well.
O Muslims! The Khutbah of the ‘Eed is a time to remind the people with matters concerning their religion in order for them to benefit from this gathering. Today I will mention some prohibitions that some Muslims commit which Allah forbade.
Shirk (i.e. associating with Allah): Abu Hurayrah 
said that the Prophet 
said: “Keep away from the seven fatalities.”It was asked: “What are they, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “Associating anything with Allah in worship (i.e. committing an act of Shirk), sorcery, killing of one whom Allah has declared inviolable without a just cause, devouring the property of an orphan, the eating of Ribaa (i.e. usury or interest), fleeing from the battlefield and accusing chaste believing women, who never even think of immorality.”[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].Killing a soul without due right: This is another sin that is grave in the scale of Allah. Ibn `Abbaas reported: The Messenger of Allah said: “The three most hated people to Allah are: One causing disruption and corruption within the Sacred Boundaries (of Makkah), and one who wishes to introduce into Islam the ways of the times of ignorance, and one who seeks the blood of another without any reason except that he wishes to spill it.”[Al-Bukhari].

I said: "O Messenger of Allah! As to the one who kills, it is understandable, but why the slain one?" He replied: “He was eager to kill his opponent”. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].The Prophet also said: “The most tormented people on the Day of Resurrection are; a man who killed a Prophet or was killed by a Prophet; a man who misguides people (due to ruling) without knowledge and a depicter (i.e. an image maker)”
also said: “The most tormented people on the Day of Resurrection are; a man who killed a Prophet or was killed by a Prophet; a man who misguides people (due to ruling) without knowledge and a depicter (i.e. an image maker)”Ibn Mas`ood, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet said: “The first matter concerning which people will be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be the matter of blood.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
said: “The first matter concerning which people will be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be the matter of blood.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]The Prophet further said: “If the inhabitants of the Heavens and the earth were to join in spilling the blood of one believer, then Allah would throw them into Hellfire on their faces”
further said: “If the inhabitants of the Heavens and the earth were to join in spilling the blood of one believer, then Allah would throw them into Hellfire on their faces”Committing suicide:The Messenger of Allah said: “He who kills himself with steal rod, will be tormented with it eternally on the Day of Resurrection. He who kills himself by consuming a poison, will consume it eternally in Hellfire.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. This applies to those who consume drugs and needles, some of whom are found dead in bathrooms.

Jaabir narrated that: “The Messenger of Allah cursed the one who consumes Ribaa, the one who gives it to others, the one who writes it down and the one who witnesses its transaction.”He said: “They are all the same (in the sin).” [Muslim].

These are: An aged man who commits illicit sexual acts, a ruler who lies, and a proud poor person.” [Muslim].

(But) who are they, O Messenger of Allah ?'' He said: “One whose lower garment trails, one who boasts of kindness shown to another; and one who promotes sale of his business by taking false oaths.” [Muslim].
