The First Sermon
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Advise is an act of worship
How does a believer deal with
another believer? How does he think about his affairs? A believer
might need an advice in any issue he might encounter, whether
religious or worldly. These advices have a great impact on Muslims
especially if they are made by political or religious leaders. Thus
those leaders have to think not about their own interests when they
make those advices. Rather they have to consider themselves a part of
the society and love for others what they love for themselves and hate
for them what they hate for themselves. The Prophet(p.) and the Ahl
el-Beit Imams have made several statements concerning the advice of a
believer to a fellow believer, all of which have stressed that the one
being asked for an advice should not think about his personal
interests, rather he has to think about the interests of the one who
asks him.
The Messenger(p.) says: Advise your
brother as you advise your self. He also says: Those who attain the
highest positions on the Day of Judgment, are those who advise His
creations the most.
He also says that the most pious of
people are those who provide advice to Muslims and who have good
intentions towards all Muslims… They only think about what is good for
Muslims, and do not have any complex towards any Muslim.
This is what the Commander of the
Faithful demonstrated when he was denied his right in the Caliphate
when he said: I'll remain peaceful as long as the affairs of Muslims
are not hurt and the only wronging falls on me".
Advice is a road to Heaven
Asked who is the most loved person
by God, the Messenger(p.) says: "it is he who benefits the people the
most". If he is a scientist he will benefit the people of his
knowledge. If he has money he will benefit the people from his money.
We notice that Islam stresses on the social welfare acts that provide
help in times of need. The Messenger(p.) says: Who protects Muslims
from fire , water ( a flood for example, or any such catastrophes that
hit people in their homes) will be rewarded by Heaven. Thus, Paradise
is not attained by praying and fasting, although they are important
acts, but also by social solidarity, especially in the conditions of
social catastrophes like the ones we have been hit with in the
Southern Suburb, the South and Biqaa'. Those who help people to go
from one place to another, and remove the timed bombs the Zionists
have left behind, will be rewarded by Heaven.
Imam As-Sadiq(a.s.) says that it is
a religious duty to advise fellow Muslims. He also believes that the
meaning of blessed in the Quranic verse that cites Christ’s(p. )
Statement: He has made me blessed wherever I be
that he benefits them wherever he goes.
The Messenger(p.) says that all
people are Allah's children and that Allah, the most Exalted, loves
most among them those also who serve His children.
Those who are Neutral do not belong to Islam
The same point is expressed by
means of defining who is not a Muslim. The Messenger(p.) says:
"Those who do not care about the Muslims affairs are not Muslims".
Those who do not care how do others live and do not try to help them
bear the difficulties they encounter are not Muslims in the
practical sense of the word.
A case in point would be those who
are neutral and do not stand with the people that are subjected to the
American – Israeli war, or criticize the Resistance and hold her
responsible for every act the enemy might do. The Arabs too who do not
listen to the appeals for help by the wronged are also not Muslims,
Islam should make you a part of the Muslim nation and that is how the
nation gains strength.
One more thing, a lot of people’s
houses and shops were destroyed, and many believers provided help to
them, but there are those who trying to get rich by exploiting the
needs of people. They raise the prices of food and goods or increase
rents. To those I say you have to share with those who lost their
houses their pains. Do not exploit the circumstances to become rich at
the expense of their grief. Our people are proud and dignified, do not
humiliate them. Remember that all wealth is from Allah. If you exploit
the needs of other, you will be punished in this life, before you are
punished in the Hereafter as well.
The Second Sermon
American is Israel's Partner
America is still waging its Israeli
war against Lebanon. It has given the Zionist Entity some more time to
entrance its blockade and continue to occupy certain parts in the
South in violation of Resolution 1701 that did not stipulate such a
thing. This is because America wants Israel to look strong having been
defeated by the Resistance, which means that the blockade will not be
lifted except be American pressure.
But America is not a mediator: It is
a partner to the enemy in this war which Washington aimed from to turn
Lebanon into a base for founding the New Middle East. But the Lebanese
steadfastness of both the Resistance and the people thwarted its plan.
The Lebanese people realized that
America is also an enemy of the Arabs and Muslims, for Israel did not
wage any war since 1948 that was not coordinated and planned with the
American Administrations that also provided military and political
cover for them.
An American cover for the Blockade
That's why the UN Secretary General
was not able to lift the blockade, since Israel enjoys the cover of
the US that encourages Israel to continue and even strengthen this
blockade.
This is what the Lebanese and the
party of the American Embassy should know.
This party might even have favored
this blockade to reach some of its goals against the Resistance which
it considers responsible for the war and its tragic consequences, as
if America is not responsible for all this. Perhaps the American
pressure on Lebanon is demonstrated by the failure all the EU and most
of the world demands, to lift the blockade, yet the blockade persists
because America refuses since it does not respect the international
Community its trades with its name.
A Systematic eradication Campaign
America also continues to wage its
Israeli war against the Palestinian People who are subjected to
systematic eradication campaigns as well as destroying their
infrastructure.
These acts are supported and
encouraged by the US in the name of fighting terrorism, which includes
in the American definition any party of group that does not accept its
hegemony and seeks to liberate his land. That is why America disrupted
the negotiations between the Enemy's government and the Palestinian
people, even if they lead only to the achievement of an insignificant
part of their rights. It also prevented the Quartet Committee from
implementing the Road Map, since it feels that the role of this
committee is to give Israel more time to establish its domination over
Palestine.
America talks about the rockets of
the Palestinian Resistance, but it does not talk about the American
weapons that hit all parts of Palestine and besiege Gaza, the West
Bank and Jerusalem. Nevertheless, the Arab regimes do not exert any
pressure to stop the Israeli pressure against the Palestine People.
Thus, the Palestinians should
acknowledge the political fact that America’s only solution to their
problem is the Israeli solution that presents a fragmented and
unviable state, and that they have to continue their struggle, since
what is taken by force can only be retrieved by force.
The National Resistance In Iraq
The American war against the Iraqi
people continues too. This war has sunk the country in a state of
chaos, with the American and British occupation Army committing every
now and then massacres against Iraqi civilians on the basis of
illogical pretests.
The chaos the Occupation created is
still inciting sensitivities among these who do not respect the
humanity of man. Those tak'firis who kill civilians including women,
children and the elderly have turned to killing Iraqi Muslims instead
of fighting occupation which does nothing to stop these massacres
because they provide him with an excuse to stay and implement his plan
of usurping the Iraqi wealth and turning Iraq into a base to dominate
the neighboring countries.
We call on the Iraqi people to rise
to the level of awareness of the challenges, and unite nationally and
Islamically to face the occupation jointly; since it is the biggest
evil they face in Iraq.
America and the UN
America still considers the Iranian
peaceful nuclear project a threat to its interests. It accuses Iran of
planning to acquire the bomb although it has deemed the production of
nuclear weapons religiously unlawful. Yet America, and the EU states
that fall in its sphere of influence, do not want any Muslim country
to acquire the scientific knowledge that could enhance its economy.
In this respect, we notice that
preparations are going on to use the UN as one of the fonts in which
the political and economic war against war against Iran to prevent it
from acquiring its natural rights that is guaranteed by international
agreements.
We are afraid that another episode
of American madness will target the UN and will lead to its final
downfall. This is what we noticed in the statement of the American
Ambassador to the UN who spoke like a general commanding his troops,
when he said: The UN will not be lenient with Iran after August 31".
As we follow the statements of US
officials who might be planning for a new preemptive war against Iran,
we feel that the US will not be able to fulfill this dream, because it
might turn the entire region into hell, which will represent a threat
to the oil resources of the whole world. The Arab and Muslim peoples
will stand up and reflect the real position of the Arab and Muslim
world towards the American policies, just as it expressed its
opposition to the American support of Israel in its barbaric war
against Lebanon, America has turned into a blind devil who lives the
hysteria of power which might end in its final fall, if the peoples of
the world learn how to confront it.
Imam Al-Sadar Mystery
Lastly, we remember in these days a
great Islamic leader who was able to achieve a lot for his people in
Lebanon and for Islam and Muslims in general. The great militant and
religious scholar Imam Musa Al-Sadar, who launched the resistance
against Israel and declared that Jerusalem will only be liberated by
the struggle of the believers, and that arms when responsible and
headed against, the occupier is what adorns men
We remember him with great respect
and appreciation and demand that the mystery behind his disappearance
should be unveiled and declared to the entire nation.
Lastly we want to move to enhance
the political and cultural struggle by kicking out those who plan for
defeat out of Lebanon and out of all Arab and Muslim lands.
