And for the last week, this news has been riveting us throughout the entire days and nights.

We've heard nothing except about this reality.

So in today's Khutbah, I want to share some Islamic reflections and some theological benefits from this reality.

And my Khutbah will center around five points.

The first issue, why talk about politics during a Khutbah?

I want to emphasize, this Khutbah is not a secular political analysis.

Neither is this the place nor am I qualified to do that.

I am not discussing the wise, analyzing the house, pontificating about the what-ifs.

Rather, this is an attempt to benefit from an Islamic paradigm and extract lessons and morals based upon our Quran and our Sunnah.

That is because the mind of a Muslim should always analyze every single fact through the lens of Iman.

And the Quran commands us to ponder over the creation and to ponder over the past history and to analyze current events all of it through the lens of Iman and Takwa.

Allah says in the Quran that the pious are those who, yet afkharuna fi khalki samawati wa l-ord.

They think about the creation and they ponder over the miracles of creation that's ponder over science.

Allah tells us in the Quran, awalam yasiru fi l-ardhi fayanduru kaifakana akibatul radi al-Mankabal.

Don't they wander in the lands and travel and see the fates of the civilizations before them?

This is past history.

Allah says in the Quran, awalam yasiru fi l-ardhi fayanduru kaifakana akibatul radi al-Mankabal.

Allah says in the Quran, awalam yasiru fi l-ardhi fayanduru kaifakana akibatul radi al-Mankabal.

Allah says in the Quran, awalam yasiru fi l-ardhi fayanduru kaifakana akibatul radi al-Mankabal.

Don't they see we have made Makkah a peaceful sanctuary?
