Jumua Khutba: Allah is a Friend, Protector of the Believers <\/p>\n
(257)<\/span><\/span> Allah is the Friend of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness into the light.
\nBut the unbelievers have for their friends the taguts who lead them out of the light into darkness; these are the companions of the Fire where they will be immortal. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n(258)<\/span><\/strong>
\nHave you not seen him who, because Allah had given him sovereignty, defied him by arguing with his Lord?<\/strong>
\nIbrahim said: My Lord gives life and gives death.<\/strong>
\nHe said, “I lay down my life and I give my death.”<\/strong>
\nIbrahim said: Allah brings the sun from the east, you bring it from the west.<\/strong>
\nAnd he who refused to believe was confused.<\/strong>
\nAllah does not guide those who are unjust. <\/strong>
\n* [The character alluded to is Nimrod b. Kanan, one of the most powerful sovereigns in history. He had pretensions to divinity and after affirming that he gave life and death he ordered two men to be brought; he killed one and left the other alive, and then said, “I have killed one and another lived.”]<\/span> <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDelivered on Friday, May 04, 2018 by Imam Hajj Abdel Ghani Melara, at the musal-la<\/em> of the Mosque Foundation of Seville, in Plaza Ponce de Le\u00f3n, Seville.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
