بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبـِحَمْدِهِ. اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

اَلْحَمْدُ ِللهِ وَكَفٰى ، وَسَلاَمٌ عَلٰى عِبَادِهِ الَّذِيْنَ اصْطَفٰى. أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَهُ. وَأَشْهَدُ أَنّ مُحَمّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ.

اَللهُمّ صَلِّ وَسَلّمْ عَلٰى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمّدٍ وَعَلى آلِهِ وِأَصْحَابِهِ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ إِلٰى يَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ, اَمَّا بَعْدُ. فَيَا عِبَادَ اللهِ, اُوْصِيْكُمْ وَاَيَّايَ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَطَاعَتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ. قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فىِ الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيْمِ، أَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ. يَاأَيّهَا الّذَيْنَ آمَنُوْا اتّقُوا اللهَ حَقّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلاَ تَمُوْتُنَّ إِلاّ وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُوْنَ.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اَصْلِحْ اُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلىَّ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَفَرِّجْ عَنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلىَّ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَارْحَمْ اُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلىَّ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَانْشُرْ وَاحْفَظْ نـَهْضَةَ الْوَطَنِ فِى الْعَالَمِيْنَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلىَّ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Happy Friday Muslims, Rahimakumullah.

Praise and gratitude, Alhamdulillah, let us convey the presence of Allah Robbul’izzati, on this Friday we do our obligations as a Muslim, namely Friday prayers in congregation in this lovely masjid. Shalawat and greetings, let us convey it to our uswatun hasanah, the great prophet Muhammad SAW. Also to all his family and friends, hopefully all of us who are present here, we will receive intercession from him on the day of Qiyamat Aamiin.

Starting a short sermon on this occasion, as usual the preacher has a testament to myself and to all the congregation, let us truly devote to Allah, that is to do all the commands of Allah and stay away from His prohibitions.

Happy Friday Muslims, Rahimakumullah.

In general, all the commemoration of Islamic holidays, only feel the nuances of Islam when the commemoration is carried out. After that it will not leave a trace, only a few could take ibrah (lessons) to serve as guidelines and benchmarks in everyday life. Including commemorating the Islamic New Year 1442 Hijriyah, people should compete to actualize the positive values that exist on the anniversary of the Islamic New Year. In general, the value teach us that with the spirit of hijrah we change our state of being a better, more creative, more innovative and more productive human being. So that our existence on this earth is benefited for others.

This is a correction for us, let us not become a people who are only happy to do routine ceremonies at a cost that is not small, but there is no real evidence in life. Therefore, let us continue to decorate our days with the values of the very noble hijrah.

Among our efforts so that these noble values are maintained are:

First, always remember the lessons learned on the Islamic New Year. Remembering is a process of reminiscing about everything we hear and read, because usually hearing and reading good things requires a long and deep process of contemplation until it really sinks deep into the heart.

Second, after being deeply absorbed, always try to practice it istiqamah. This is the most difficult and most important stage, but nevertheless practicing knowledge is part of an obligation that cannot be negotiated. Even in one of the expressions of mahfuzhat it is stated, “knowledge without charity is like a tree that does not bear fruit”.

Knowledge will disappear little by little if it is not practiced. Meanwhile, accumulating knowledge, without practicing, will only be a burden. As exemplified by Allah SWT in the Al-Quran surah Al Jumuah verse 5, that a person who has knowledge without being practiced is like a donkey carrying a book on his back, does not get the slightest benefit from the contents of the book.

This is the essence of science, because how can we get the best results if science is not practiced. Even our charity will be rejected if it is not based on knowledge. Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said:

مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلاً لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَدٌّ

Meaning: “Whoever does a practice that is not our teaching, then the practice is rejected.” (HR. Muslim number 1718).

The third one continues to pray fervently. Prayer is a hidden strength that is within us. Prayer can change the destiny of Allah, from bad destiny to good destiny. Rasulullah sahllallahu ‘alaihi wasaalm said in his hadith describes how powerful the power of prayer is,

لَا يَرُدُّ الْقَضَاءَ إِلَّا الدُّعَاءُ وَلَا يَزِيدُ فِي الْعُمْرِ إِلَّا الْبِرُّ

Meaning: “Nothing can reject the predestined provisions of Allah apart from prayer. And nothing can add to one’s life except good deeds. ” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi).

Prayer is the brain of worship. This means that without prayer our worship is of no value, because the essence of prayer is to connect the closest communication to Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala. Keep praying every day, ask for strength and patience to be able to practice positive values in the journey of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam hijrah.

Hopefully with this Friday sermon that the preacher delivers, we will be motivated to maintain and practice positive values in the commemoration of the Islamic New Year 1442 Hijriyah. Aamiin ya Robbal’aalmiin.

بَارَكَ اللهُ لِيْ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيْمِ, وَنَفَعَنِيْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ بِمَا فِيْهِ مِنَ الآيَاتِ وَالذِّكْرِ الْحَكِيْمِ, وَتَقَبَّلَ مِنِّيْ وَمِنْكُمْ تِلاَوَتَهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ. أَقُوْلُ قَوْلِيْ هَذَا وَاسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ الْعَظِيْمَ لِيْ وَلَكُمْ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ، إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ.

THE SECOND SERMON

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ عَلىَ إِحْسَانِهِ وَالشُّكْرُ لَهُ عَلىَ تَوْفِيْقِهِ وَاِمْتِنَانِهِ. وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ اِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَهُ. وَأَشْهَدُ أنَّ سَيِّدَنَا مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ الدَّاعِى إلىَ رِضْوَانِهِ. اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وِعَلَى اَلِهِ وَاَصْحَابِهِ وَسَلِّمْ تَسْلِيْمًا كِثيْرًا. أَمَّا بَعْدُ:

فَياَ اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ, اِتَّقُوااللهَ فِيْمَا أَمَرَ وَانْتَهُوْا عَمَّا نَهَى وَاعْلَمُوْا أَنَّ اللهَ أَمَرَكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ بَدَأَ فِيْهِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَثَـنَى بِمَلآ ئِكَتِهِ بِقُدْسِهِ. وَقَالَ تَعاَلَى, إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلآئِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلىَ النَّبِى يآ اَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا صَلُّوْا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِيْمًا. اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمْ وَعَلَى آلِ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى اَنْبِيآئِكَ وَرُسُلِكَ وَمَلآئِكَةِ اْلمُقَرَّبِيْنَ, وَارْضَ اللّهُمَّ عَنِ اْلخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِيْنَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ وَعُمَر وَعُثْمَان وَعَلِى وَعَنْ بَقِيَّةِ الصَّحَابَةِ وَالتَّابِعِيْنَ وَتَابِعِي التَّابِعِيْنَ لَهُمْ بِاِحْسَانٍ اِلىٰ ىيَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ, وَارْضَ عَنَّا مَعَهُمْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ.

اَللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَاْلمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَاْلمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَاْلمُسْلِمَاتِ اَلاَحْيآءُ مِنْهُمْ وَاْلاَمْوَاتِ.
اللهُمَّ أَعِزَّ اْلإِسْلاَمَ وَاْلمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَأَذِلَّ الشِّرْكَ وَاْلمُشْرِكِيْنَ وَانْصُرْ عِبَادَكَ اْلمُوَحِّدِيَّةَ وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَ الدِّيْنَ وَاخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَ اْلمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَ دَمِّرْ أَعْدَاءَالدِّيْنِ وَاعْلِ كَلِمَاتِكَ إِلَى يَوْمَ الدِّيْنِ.

اللهُمَّ ادْفَعْ عَنَّا اْلبَلاَءَ وَاْلوَبَاءَ وَالزَّلاَزِلَ وَاْلمِحَنَ وَسُوْءَ اْلفِتْنَةِ وَاْلمِحَنَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ عَنْ بَلَدِنَا اِنْدُونِيْسِيَّا خآصَّةً وَسَائِرِ اْلبُلْدَانِ اْلمُسْلِمِيْنَ عآمَّةً يَا رَبَّ اْلعَالَمِيْنَ.
رَبَّنَا آتِناَ فِى الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِى اْلآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ. رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا اَنْفُسَنَاوَاِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ اْلخَاسِرِيْنَ.

عِبَادَاللهِ ! إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُنَا بِاْلعَدْلِ وَاْلإِحْسَانِ وَإِيْتآءِ ذِي اْلقُرْبىَ وَيَنْهَى عَنِ اْلفَحْشآءِ وَاْلمُنْكَرِ وَاْلبَغْي يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ وَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ اْلعَظِيْمَ يَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوْهُ عَلىَ نِعَمِهِ يَزِدْكُمْ وَلَذِكْرُ اللهِ أَكْبَرْ.
