Friday Khutbah is of a great importance during which none should speak; otherwise one will cause his rewards to loss. That is why All?h ( - عز وجل -) ordered all muslims to abandon their works and even forbade them from executing any transaction when its time is due!!

Accordingly; it must not be delivered by those whose speeches cause bordom to other muslims for their subjects do not discuss people’s current affairs and problems; they are oft-repeated ones that should be dedicated to different societies and are prepared to solve different problems and hence unrelated and untrue issues. Indeed, we were ordered to tell the truth plainly even if it was against ourselves.

I do not claim that all mosques lack good Khutab? and that they have no room for good Khutab. Indeed, goodness will always be there in the Islamic ’Ummah; however, I intended to highlight the defects lest they prevail and have dominance in our societies. (1)

[2/ 61] Delivering Friday speech has become a traditional ritual and a job that could be changed into words written on a paper and delivered on the pulpit. It became just like any other traditional job-that any one could do such as sweeping the mosque!!

It has even become a profession through which sustenance is sought especially to those who seek it. They forgot that they are standing in the same position the prophet ( - ) and all his caliphs and their deputies stood in. This precious state has indeed been occupied by the most ignorant of people, least respected in their societies by the ordinary and -the more worth it- the well versed amongst them.

Such Khutab? are indeed considered a grievous trial; their sins are innumerable regarding their negative influence on the ’Ummah! Verily, such things can never be counted!!
