Delivered on the last Friday of 2021, this khutba addresses a question many Muslim families face every December: how should a Muslim look at New Year celebrations? Hazrat Maulana Shah Mohammed Jamal ur Rahman Sahab (DB) guides the listeners to view the passing of time through the lens of the Qur’an, where the alternation of night and day is a sign for those who reflect.
Rather than imitating customs that are foreign to Islamic teachings and often involve wastefulness and sin, the khutba invites the believer to use the turning of the year for self-accountability: what did I gain for my Hereafter this year, and what will I change in the next?
