The Ill Effects Of Sins by محمد بن صالح العثيمين, Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saleh Al-Uthaimeen

5.0

"But as for remaining a disunited nation having no regard for one another and not caring about the affairs of each other then whoever does not care about the Muslims is not from them."

Sheikh ibn 'Uthaymin delivered a poignant khutbah in the rectification of the ummah and why it must be all of our concern to enjoin good and forbid evil within our homes, communities, and the greater society of Muslims. He suggested that the rulers must be upon guidance and prayed that their aides are replaced if they invite towards evil.

But ultimately, the khutbah was about our sins and why we should aim to leave them off for the sake of improving our state of affairs as a whole.

"I say: whatever harm and hardship has befallen the people in their wealth or security, individuals or societies is due to their sins and their having neglected the commands of Allaah and his prescribed laws, and their seeking judgement amongst the people by other than the prescribed laws of Allaah - who created all of creation and was more merciful to them than their mothers and fathers, and He is the One who knows better than themselves what is most beneficial for them."
