Jazaki Allahu khayran Um Ibrahim for this thoughtful article.

Funny thing is: I’m the young khatib you mentioned in your article. I can promise you I’m learning how to iron now! 🙂

Jazaki Allahu khayran Um Ibrahim for this lovely post.

We should wear our best clothes to the masjid, when we are aquiring the best of knowledge. at the same time, i used to be a student and i know what its like to be up doing assignments etc and so just go to uni the next day in anything thats clean and fits.

Also, i’ve been told at work today that i am no longer allowed to wear anything regarding palestine to work as they feel it is inappropriate!

if i didn’t need to work i could have just resigned. they said that work is not a place of politics and that i may be offending people

Jazzak Allaahu for a beautiful post and excellent reminder. I think all of us when we attend Jumu’ah see many things which make us hopeful and many things which can discourage us. I agree with the brother Haq that in the society we live in, especially at a college where few would know or care if they did not bother to show up, there is much hope in the fact that such a range of people still come to Jumu’ah. However, the lackluster and downright sleepy atmosphere is familiar to me. Since I have given khutbah before, I feel comfortable speaking to myself before anyone else, that much of the blame must go to the Khateebs…..Ya Khateebs, wake the people up! The people come there looking for some guidance, give it to them! Move their hearts! Even if they did not come looking for guidance, but for some other reason…they’re sitting there, if you give them something worth listening to and thinking about, many of them will do so! (inshAllaah)

MashAllah sister, just if we really think of the prospective of having angels around us it would be a lot different. If someone is to get into a meeting or an interview or whatever with their boss or superior then they will be dressed to the point that they want to impress that person. So how can we really relate this to Allah SWT. Imagine yourself going to meet your Creator for 5 times a day, what will you wear, what will you say, and how will you behave?
Subhan Allah and great effort sister may Allah SWT reward you for it.

You are absolutely true… Coming to Juma prayer become a habit more than a worship… It’s time to treat our Deen like treating our Dunia…
Thank you Um Ibrahim

Salaam…A great reminder but I personally,when I see brothers and/or sisters dressed in an awkward manner come to pray it gives me hope..since it shows that even though they may stay with the wrong crowd etc… they still are aware of their deen which for me shows that this Ummah still has great potential…from experience I also found brothers who wear that which is commonly percieved as “islamic dress” which in essence is Arab
clothing carry this self rightious judgemental attitude.
thanks for the reminder though!
