Second Khutbah:

O Muslims! Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: “The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “Allaah has written down the very portion of Zinaa which a person will indulge in. There will be no escape from it. The Zinaa of the eye is the (lustful) look, the Zinaa of the ears is the listening (to voluptuous songs or talk), the Zinaa of the tongue is (the licentious) speech, the Zinaa of the hand is the (lustful) grip, the Zinaa of the feet is the walking (to the place where he intends to commit Zinaa), the heart yearns and desires and the private parts approve all that (i.e. give in and do it) or disapprove it.” [Al-Bukhaari & Muslim].

Abusing the rights of neighbors: The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “It is lesser evil for a man to commit Zinaa (i.e. adultery or fornication) with ten women than to do so with his neighbor’s wife, and it is lesser evil for a man to steal from ten houses than to do so from his neighbor’s house”.

Consuming intoxicants: Ibn ‘Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: “There three types of people to whom Allaah made Paradise forbidden, an alcoholic, an undutiful person to his parents, and a person with Dayaathah, who accepts immoral conduct on the (female) part of his family.” [Ahmad].

Jaabir Ibn ‘Abdullaah may Allaah be pleased with them reported: “The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: “Allaah Has taken a pledge upon Himself to make everyone who consumed intoxicants drink from Teenatul-Khabaal” He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam  was asked; `O Messenger of Allaah! What is Teenatul-Khabaal? `He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam replied: “It is made of the sweat and pus of the dwellers of Hell” [Muslim].

The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam also said: “He who consumed intoxicants is like an idol worshipper”

There are people who would start, or rather resume consuming intoxicants after the end of Ramadhaan … woe to them for what they do … they conclude the month and celebrate it by committing such a gave sin … woe to them.

Transgressing the great rights of the husbands: The rights of the husband are great in the sight of Allaah. The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “There are two types of people whose prayers would not go beyond their heads (i.e. rejected) a woman who is disobedient to her husband, and a disobedient slave”

Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “If I were to order anyone to prostrate himself before another, I would have ordered a woman to prostrate herself before her husband”. [At-Tirmithi].

It is enough that Allaah made the husband the way to her Paradise, as The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “If a woman prayers her five daily prayers, fast her month (i.e. Ramadhaan) preserve her private parts (i.e. from illicit relations) and obeys her husband, she will be told (on the Day of Judgment) enter from any of the gates of Paradise you wish”

General advices: O Muslims! Fasting six days from the month of Shawwaal is equivalent to fasting two months, plus fasting Ramadhaan is equivalent to fasting ten months, which totals the fasting of the entire year, as in the narration of Abu Ayyoob, may Allaah be pleased with him, who reported that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “He who observes fast during the month of Ramadhaan, and also observes fast for six days in the month of Shawwaal, it is as if he has observed fast for the whole year.” [Muslim].

Finally, O Muslims! Fear Allaah and do not ruin the castle of reward you built during the month of Ramadhaan … fear Allaah and forget your disputes, don’t you know that the knowledge of the exact night of Al-Qadr was concealed due to the dispute of two men … maintain ties with your kinfolk … remember your brothers and sisters from the Muslims worldwide … remember the orphans, widows, the needy, the poor and the misplaced Muslims as they have rights over us.
