The First Sermon
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Allah says in His Glorious Book :
O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to)
Allah with the care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are
Muslims And hold fast by the covenant of Allah all together and be not
disunited, and remember the favor of Allah on you when you were
enemies, then He united your hearts so by His favor you became
brethren; and you were on the brink of a pit of fire, then He saved
you from it, thus does Allah make clear to you His communications that
you may follow the right way And from among you there should be a
party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the
wrong, and these it is that shall be successful.
In these Ayahs Allah calls on the Muslims to think
about Him in all the levels and situations . the believers should in
all their actions and thoughts think only about what pleases Allah.
For He is constantly watching how man uses his mind, to benefit people
or to harm them, especially that some people, use the mind that Allah
has given them to serve the arrogant and the oppressors. They are the
ones who act as advisors and assistants to the oppressors, and advice
them of how to repress and cheat the people.
Man also has to fear Allah in every beat of his
heart. He should love whom Allah loves and hate whom Allah hates. It
is said in the Holy traditions: "If you want to know yourself, look at
your heart, if it befriends God's friends and if it is an enemy to
Allah's enemies, then there is goodness in you and Allah loves you.
But if your heart befriends Allah's enemies and is hostile towards
Allah's friends, then there is no good in you and Allah hates you".
Imam Sadiq(a.s. ) says in one of his saying:
What is religion if not love". Your religion is known through whom
and what you love.
You should fear Allah in every saying action and
relationship and this is what "as he should be feared" means.
One of the traditions says: Fear God as if you
see him. If He is in front of you while you are sinning would you
not be afraid? If you do not see Him, He sees you" and knows
both your actions and your intentions.
Preserving Piety
Furthermore, this piety or fear should continue,
throughout life O you who believe! be careful of
(your duty to) Allah with the care which is due to Him, and do not die
unless you are Muslims .Thus, you should seek to preserve your
Islam more that you strive to keep your money, for Islam represents
your destiny. Thus, a believer ought to be cautious from those around
him. He might befriend some one who will deviate him. Allah tells us
about those who wronged themselves by committing sin:
And the day when the unjust one shall bite his
hands saying: O! would that I had taken a way with the Messenger O woe
is me! would that I had not taken such a one for a friend ! :
Certainly he led me astray from the reminder after it had come to me;
and the Shaitan fails to aid man. Allah has told us about the
Day of Judgement when Stan would denounce those whom he has deviated:
And Satan will say when the matter is decided:
"It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I
failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to
call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach
your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to
mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For
wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty." Therefore, one
has to preserve his religion, and he should not let anybody deviate
him especially when he lives in an environment of oppressors and
deviations, who follow Satanic political leaders that call for
enjoining evil and forbidding good.
Islamic unity
Allah's then emphasizes the need for Islamic unity,
hold fast to the rope of Allah which is Islam and the Quran. In this
regard, to hold fast to the Quran is to adhere to all its religious
and jurisprudence principles, and do not accuse each other of unbelief
.
On the country, Allah's Book and the Sunnah of His
Prophet should unite all Muslims, Allah has emphasized this message
when the addressed all Messengers starting by Adam :
And surely this your religion is one religion
and I am your Lord, therefore be careful (of your duty) to Me But they
cut off their religion among themselves into sects, each part
rejoicing in that which is with them. But the people remained
divided. And this was the case in the era of the early call when the
natives of Medina were divided between the two major tribes of Aus and
Khuzraj . Allah, the most Exalted, reminded them that Islam has
created a tie of brotherhood among them, since Allah considers All
believers to be brothers and it is the responsibility of fellow
believers to reconcile any two brothers who differ.
Fighting corruption
Allah also holds the nation responsible for
fighting all kinds of corruption (political, economic, social… etc
that the nation encounter
:And from among you there should be a party who invite to good
and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that
shall be successful Be not like those who are divided amongst
themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs: For
them is a dreadful penalty .On the Day when some faces will be (lit up
with) white, and some faces will be (in the gloom of) black: To those
whose faces will be black, (will be said): "Did ye reject Faith after
accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting Faith
In the light of this, Muslims have to cement
Islamic unity to stand in one unified rank against unbelief arrogance,
oppression and all wronging. And if they differ about the
understanding of certain associates that are related to the doctrine
and the juristic rulings or issues of a political and social nature,
they have to refer then to Allah and His Messenger.
The meaning of believing in the two testimonies of
believing in the oneness of Allah and in His Messenger is to obey
Allah's commands and in what the Messenger conveys or teaches . You
should not accuse each other of unbelief and being led astray, but
rather go back to the Book of Allah and the Messenger(p.)’s Sunna to
see what they say.
Allah wants us to establish our relations on the
basis of unity and love. We should unify our positions and stands,
because the enemies of Allah, His Messenger and the believers have
unified to destroy Islam and the Muslims. And this is what we notice
in all the American European and Israeli plots. The Muslims are no
longer in control of their own affairs, rather the arrogant and the
unbelievers are the ones who tell them what to do. And, as a result,
the Muslims have become fragmented and started killing each other and
accusing one another of unbelief. The responsibility therefore is
huge, because Allah wants us to be strong and dignified. Imam As-Sadiq
says: "Allah has given the believer the right to
run all his affairs, but he did not give him the right to be
humiliated".
The Second Sermon
Seeking the Jewish vote
The enemy's prime minister received in the American
Congress unprecedented 18 times standing ovations, an honour he would
not receive even in the Israeli keneset. He was also warmly welcomed
by the American President and his secretary of state, although they
uttered a few shy words concerning the political solution with the
Palestinians.
Such a welcome suggests to the Arab and Muslim
worlds that the political circles in America are under the Israeli
influence, especially that the US House of Representatives have voted
to cut the Aid on the Palestinians people, because it consider as it a
terrorist people that ought to be starved to death.
Such a vote indicates that the coming US
congressional elections in the next fall has become a race to win the
influential Jewish vote, while the Arab and Islamic vote is worthless.
Nevertheless, we have heard some Arab and Lebanese praise and pay
tribute to the American representative in the Security Council who
according to the Israeli representative is the six member of the
Israeli delegation to the UN due to his valuable support for the
Zionist interests, which drives us to ask about why a delegation of
the group of March 14 was sent to pay tribute to Bolton.
In Palestine, the Americans and the Europeans are
still supporting the daily Israeli massacres that are not condemned
even by the Arabs. Moreover, they are trying to force the Palestinian
Government, and consider the Israeli – Palestinian struggle a security
issue and not a political one. Moreover, they do not find in the
settlements or the racial wall any violations of the international
resolutions.
American Plots in Iraq and Iran
America and Europe also consider the Iranian
Nuclear issue a threat to the world. In this respect, America is tying
to suggest that it confronts Iran to protect Europe and the world,
although everyone knows that America and Israel are the real threat to
the entire Middle East, whether as a result of their destroying
capabilities of their protective wars.
Iraq has been able to form its government, which is
the subject of various internal and external challenges. It is also
besieged by the occupation that does not want Iraq to become strong,
because it dos not want to withdraw before implementing its strategic
plans.
On the other hand, Iraq continues to be a victim of
daily massacres kills civilian in their mosques and workplaces by
those who are inhuman enough to destroy their own countries. We call
the Iraqi people to find the support his national unity government
that constitutes the basis of power and unity that opens upon freedoms
sovereignty and impendence.
The Resistance: A national liberation movement
Under the influence of the US and Europe, The
Security Council wishes to disarm the Resistance in Lebanon, to
protect the Israeli security in the face of a liberating force that
protects Lebanon from the Zionist aggression that threatens Lebanese
sovereignty and territories . The Americans want to punish the
Lebanese people and the Resistance because they forced the Zionist
Entity to withdraw unconditionally. And some Lebanese have adopted
this plan since they do not want Lebanon to remain a strong force that
challenges the Israeli aggression, and they do not ,on the other hand,
use their relations with the American and French tutelage to empower
the Lebanese Army which the American led international community wants
it to remain weak.
The Resistance: a source of pride
The Lebanese Mujahideen have proven that they are
the only Arabs who were able to defect the Enemy, Furthermore, their
willpower and experiences able them to be the vanguard of any future
confrontation with the enemy. If the Lebanese want to preserve their
independence, they have to stay with the Resistance and refuse all the
disarming attempts, for it continues to be a necessary need to prevent
any Zionist aggression.
The Arab and Muslim worlds regardless of their
sects, have stood with the Resistance, considering it the vanguard
force that was able to restore the Nation's dignity in the battlefront
with the enemy that defeated many Arab countries, while those in
Lebanon who have made politics their profession are supporting
international resolutions that were taken to promote hostile
interests, to the extent that they are threatening the unity of the
country and hinting of a confessional confederation that demands
foreign protection to get rid of the Resistance and its weapons and
its men who have restored the nation's dignity.
We would have thought that the least the Lebanese
government can do is to make the liberation day one of the most
important and glorified days in the Lebanese calendar in which all
Lebanese celebrate as a holiday. But it is afraid from the American
pressure of the American Ambassador and envoys who don't accept to
consider the occasion of Israeli's defeat a day for the real Lebanese
independence.
The problem is that some Lebanese are afraid of
being caught as confronting Israel. That is why they talk about
diplomacy. But diplomacy cannot achieve anything unless the country is
strong; the weak do not achieve anything from diplomacy, and we can
clearly see this in the way the international Community, especially
the US, deals with the Arab word.
Internal Resistance
The Lebanese people ought to be concerned about
their future and demand that the government should devise a plan of
reform, whether political, economic, military or otherwise. It should
try to overcome the deficit, stop the waste and punish those who
became extremely rich by usurping the public money.
We need a trustworthy and faithful internal
resistance against those who lie and create strife, and those who
practice corruption in the name of reform and change.
We also need a resistance against poverty, hunger and foreign
tutelage, a Resistance as faithful and as strong as the one that freed
the country from occupation.
