Jummah Kutbahayah on what Kareem Benzema did in Italy. Is it wrong to celebrate Christmas? Is it bad to greet people of the book of the Book? What does it mean to be a Muslim in the 21st century?
00:01:32.000So they all went to a cathedral in Italy and they went and did the following, which you can see on screen.
00:01:39.000Now we need to really understand and put things into perspective because we do not understand how disgusting, how vile Shirk is.
00:01:46.000If the most evil, heinous crimes on this earth were to be committed, it will not even come close to what Shirk is.
00:01:55.000Imagine Shirk as the vast ocean and the most evil, heinous crime is a droplet.
00:02:00.000The heinous, whatever that can come in your mind, it is millions and billions of times worse than that.
00:02:05.000This is someone, Kareem, which I've went on his Instagram, is somebody who does the Sunnah cupping.
00:02:11.000He's somebody who's fasted in Ramadan, which I observe. He doesn't show his wife, which is commendable, etc.
00:02:16.000Which you can see there's some Islamic traits there. You can see that he's a clear Muslim.
00:02:20.000If he wasn't, we can say, you know what, he doesn't know better.
00:02:23.000He's going and just imagine the blessings that he has and we call it blessings.
00:02:28.000You know, Allah told us in the Quran that, you know, just paraphrasing that, you know, don't think that, you know,
00:02:34.000the children that you're given, etc. and don't think Allah is pleased with you because you have these stuff.
00:02:39.000No, it can be a curse. So he has those things in his life.
00:02:44.000They win the cup. Now, after they win the cup, guys, you think they're going to go and thank the Lord.
00:02:49.000Thank Allah, you know, thank him, sing them out in his worship, sing them out in his lordship, sing them out in worship, sing them out in his names and attributes and dedicate, be grateful for the blessings.
00:03:04.000No. What do they do? They go and there's two powerful ayahs in the Quran I'm going to share with you guys.
