We ask Allah to make us amongst them, the brothers and sisters, it's hot.

May Allah SWT reward you for coming out in this weather to perform Salatul Jum'at.

May Allah SWT allow every moment that you feel of the heat of this world to relieve you of the

heat of the hereafter, whether it is the standing of the day of judgment, or may Allah SWT protect

us from what comes after, Allah m-Ameen.

I'm going to keep this khutbah very short in Sha'Allah Ta'ala and cover only the second half of

the statements from Ibn Aqah al-Arabahim Allah Ta'ala that I mentioned last week.

He said, from the signs of a dead heart,

a person does not feel sadness over the good things that they have missed out on,

and we talked about that last week, that a living part is one that finds a way to please Allah

SWT no matter what, and a dead heart is one that feels no sadness when the opportunities

to please Allah SWT are taken away from it.

But the second part of the statement, what harqunnadami,

ala ma'fah al ta'um'in wajud, is Salat.

And to not feel regret over the sins that you have committed in the past.

Now this is a very important and it's not just an important concept but one that is tricky to navigate.

Why?

Allah says, O say, O my servants who have transgressed against themselves,

do not despair from the mercy of Allah SWT.
