Thank you for posting this Kutbah,Brother Ali Khan, always truly inspiring
Like a tree planted, Allah Subana Wa Ta'ala gives the tree endless reach toward the sky and never beyond it's capability for that tree to grow unless an object is placed in it's way to obstruct and stunt the growth for that tree to reach it's full potential. Humanity has been given an endless amount of room to grow, never beyond our individual capability when we thirst for the right knowledge and take refuge in Allah Subana Wa Ta'ala
JazakAllah Khairan
Bismilllah Ar Rahman Ar Raheem
Ash-Shams
1 By the sun and his brightness,
2 And the moon when she followeth him,
3 And the day when it revealeth him,
4 And the night when it enshroudeth him,
5 And the heaven and Him Who built it,
6 And the earth and Him Who spread it,
7 And a soul and Him Who perfected it
8 And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
9 He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,
10 And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
11 (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
12 When the basest of them broke forth
13 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!
14 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
15 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
