Hajj Sermon:
O pilgrims of the House of Allah, fear Allah. Follow the religion that Allah has revealed to you. O people, piety is the cause of good in both this world and the Hereafter. Be kind to the poor, orphans, the needy, and relatives.
O you who believe, fear Allah and be pious. The pious is the honor of the believers. Allah will reward the believing men and believing women with the best of rewards. Worship Allah and do not associate anyone with Him. Allah is with the patient. Indeed it is only those who are patient who will be granted their reward.
O you who believe, fulfill your covenant. Believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, In the Day of Judgement, and His decree.
If you forgive your enemy, Allah will make you His close friend. Allah has commanded all creation to be pious, and has forbidden Haram deeds. O people, worship Allah. Do every deed according to the Sharia. Keep the religion in front of your eyes.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, worship Allah as if you are seeing Him. Allah has chosen the religion of Islam for humanity. Today the religion is complete and Allah has made the religion of Islam acceptable. He who denies the Hadith also denies the Quran. Offer prayer (namaz). Prayer is the best connection between the servant and Allah. Satan is your enemy, stay away from him. Do not anger your parents. He who displeases his parents displeases Allah. Success in this world and the hereafter lies in serving one’s parents.
Hold fast to this religion, as it has been completed today. Perform Hajj and Umrah for the sake of your Allah. Do not engage in idle talk during Hajj, do not commit sins and do not quarrel among yourselves. O you who believe, be mindful of the rights of your neighbours. Stand firm in Allah and His religion. The Lord of the Heavens and the earth is only Allah.
The one who does good deeds is beloved of Allah. The commandments of Allah Almighty should be obeyed and things that are forbidden should be avoided. Pilgrims should worship Allah abundantly. Make supplications for the unity of the Muslim Ummah. Supplication is the weapon of the believer. O Allah, accept our Hajj, Sheikh Saleh al Humaid concluded.
