Praise be to Allah, Who has sent down the Book as an explanation for\nall things, as guidance, light, and glad tidings for the Muslims. I bear\nwitness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I\nbear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah, send\nprayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, upon his family, and upon\nall his companions. As for what follows: O servants of Allah, I enjoin\nyou and myself to fear Allah, for the God-fearing shall succeed. Allah\nthe Exalted has said: Indeed, Allah loves those who repent and loves\nthose who purify themselves. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the\nGreatest, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, Allah is\nthe Greatest and to Allah belongs all praise. Allah is the Greatest\ngreatly, and praise be to Allah abundantly, and glory be to Allah\nmorning and evening. There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the\nGreatest, Allah is the Greatest and to Allah belongs all praise.<\/p>\n
Dear Muslims, may Allah have mercy on you,<\/p>\n
Let us raise our praises and gratitude to the presence of Allah\nSubhanahu wa Ta\u2019ala, the Lord and Creator of the universe, Who has\nbestowed upon us the blessings of faith, Islam, and health, so that on\nthis noble morning we can perform the Idul Fitri prayer on 1 Syawal 1447\nHijriah.<\/p>\n
May prayers and salutations continually be poured upon our master,\nthe Great Prophet Muhammad Shallallahu \u2019alaihi wa sallam, his family,\ncompanions, and all his followers until the end of time.<\/p>\n
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.<\/p>\n
Honoured attendees,<\/p>\n
The Idul Fitri celebrated today is a moment when we return to our\ninnate nature: the innate nature of faith, morals, and our role as\ncaliphs on Earth. We rejoice and are happy today because for a full\nmonth we have been trained to restrain ourselves, control our desires,\nand cleanse our souls, which impacts the enhancement of our piety\ntowards Allah SwT. It is hoped that we can implement the values of\nRamadan in our daily lives, including in our attitudes and behaviour\ntowards the universe where we live and enjoy its beauty.<\/p>\n
In recent times, we have witnessed profound concern over the bitter\nreality afflicting our people and nation, as well as abroad. Flood\ntragedies occur everywhere, prolonged droughts, landslides, clean water\ncrises, polluted air, climate change, and disasters that follow one\nafter another.<\/p>\n
These disasters have caused countless casualties in lives and\nproperty. All of this is not merely fate without cause but due to\nenvironmental damage caused by human hands, where humans should be\npreservers of nature but in reality become its destroyers.<\/p>\n
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta\u2019ala has clearly warned in the Quran:<\/p>\n
Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of]\nwhat the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of\n[the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return\n[to righteousness].<\/p>\n
\u201cCorruption has appeared on land and sea because of what people\u2019s\nhands have earned, so that He may let them taste a part of what they\nhave done, so that they may return [to the right path].\u201d (QS. Ar-Rum:\n41)<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/idul-fitri-sermon-2026-disasters-resulting-from-human-actions-damaging-the-environment-1773856241", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
