(In the Name of Allah, The Ever-All-Merciful, The Ever-Specifically Merciful.)
It has been a long time since I wrote my last post. Working to advance oneself in life is a tolling job. I had planned on writing the second part to the "No Cell Phone!?" post but, as you can probably guess from the title of this post, I am going to take a little pause from that and share something else with you. And, no, sorry, this is not going to be about an iPod, or an iPad, or any other iWhatever-you-might-think-of. It is an iPause, nonetheless. By the way, you can now share any of my posts on the dreaded facebook, twitter, the buzz, and good-old email. I added those buttons at the end of every post. :)
I wanted to share a khutbah (religious sermon/talk) with you about akhlaaq. Al-hamdulillah, I have "full rights" to type it up and even add some annotations that might not have been part of the original. So, following is a transcription of the khutbah with my annotations in parentheses (...) . It should be noted that this khutbh was given to an audience who subscribe to a specific line of thought so most of the references are from scholars of the same line of thought; this should not hinder from the main message, which is applicable all across the board. I pray to Allah that we all benefit from it, Aameen:
