SERMON
(KHUTBA) OF NIKAH, on MARRIAGES
Delivered by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
As
quoted in various books of Ahadees
Original
in Arabic, the English translation is as under
With
the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
|
All Glories, Praises, Blessings be to ALLAH,
The One and Only LORD, the Sustainer, the Nourishes,
the Life-Provider to all that exist. In His
Mighty Hands is the life and death of all. We
have to accept His Mightiness and His Commands;
we should invoke Him for all our needs. We should
be fearful to His punishment. HIS Power and
Sovereignty covers all the skies and earth and
whatever that is in between. HE has the Destiny
of everything in His Glorious Hands. He has
the Power to decide. HIS is the only Authority
seen everywhere in space and earth. HE decides
and destines while no one can decide and destine
anything. HE gets pleased with those who remain
conscious of Him by their will and choice. HE
get pleased with those who do just and noble
deeds. HE had chosen for us the way of life,
which is total submission of ourselves to His
Commands. In the Arabic it is called Islam,
the Deen which is His Deen. The simple definition
of His Deen is that all the human beings should
surrender themselves, their desires, their wishes,
their actions at there own care and consciousness
to the Will and Command of their Creator, ALLAH.
Otherwise The Creator has the Power and Might
to punish those who do not obey His Commands
and spread atrocities and disturbances on earth.

Our
Lord had sent many Messengers for conveying
His Messages to the whole mankind at all the
times. And as the last of this chain of messengers,
He sent Prophet Mohammed may peace and blessings
of ALLAH be upon him. On His last Messenger,
He revealed His Last Book, The Qur’an.
Our Lord had destined for us, for the human
race, a system of Marriage. By this way the
humanity may grow in the high moral and most
respectful manner. HE had destined for us the
relationships from marriage ties and made it
mandatory for us. HE, The One said in His Last
Revelation, The Qur’an in chapter 25 verse
54.
“It
is Allah only who Created men out of water and
has endowed him with the descent and marriage
tie, (in-law relationship). And your Sustainer
is ever infinite in His Power.”

We
should put our faith in our Lord and obey His commandments
and should seek His help in all our acts, deeds and
needs. We should ask his forgiveness for our every
error or sin. We should ask His help in seeking protection
from all the evil and bad consequences of our unpleasant
deeds. Whomsoever ALLAH guides, nobody can misguide
him, and whomsoever He let go astray, nobody can guide
him. Nobody else is eligible to be prayed except ALLAH,
the Mighty One. Our Creator has no partner, no son,
no father and no spouse at all. HE cannot be compared
with anything. HE watches us every time if we are
alone or in meets. HE watches us whether we are in
daylight or in the darkness of night. HE hears not
even our worshipers but He knows what is going on
in our mind and in our thoughts and in our hearts.
We
should also bear the witness that Prophet Mohammed
may peace and blessing of ALLAH be upon him, he is
ALLAH’s bondman and last Messenger. Through
him our Lord sent the ultimate truth, the Holy Qur’an,
to give glad tiding to those who are conscious of
their Lord, and warning of His punishment to them
who neither care the commandments of their Lord, nor
they are fearful of the Accounting Day which is bound
to come. The call of Prophet Mohammed, may peace and
blessing of ALLAH be upon him, is to whole mankind
towards One and the Only ALLAH with due permission
of ALLAH Himself. The moral conduct of Prophet Mohammed,
may peace and blessing of ALLAH be upon him, is called
Sunnah. It is like a self-illuminated lamp for the
rest of mankind. Billions and trillions, infinite
Salaam on him and on his offspring, on his companions,
on his wives and on his entire family.
