Friday Islamic Sermon: The Duty of Unity in Facing Evil

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. We seek His help, His guidance, and His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and the consequences of our deeds. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whomever He leaves astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and messenger.
Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today we gather in this blessed house of Allah to reflect upon a vital aspect of our faith—our duty to stand united in the face of evil and injustice. The Quran repeatedly calls upon the believers to uphold justice, to stand firmly against tyranny, and to resist the forces of evil that seek to spread corruption on earth.
Unity in the Face of Evil

Allah, the Almighty, reminds us in the Quran:

*"And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you—when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together, and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided."* (Surah Al-Imran, 3:103)

This verse calls us to unite under the banner of Islam, to hold firmly to the rope of Allah, and to avoid division. It is through unity that we find strength, and it is through collective action that we can effectively confront the forces of evil in the world.

The Obligation to Fight Injustice and Evil

Allah says:

*"Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing."* (Surah An-Nisa, 4:58)

And in another verse:

*"O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both."* (Surah An-Nisa, 4:135)

These verses are a clear command for us to establish justice on earth and to stand firm against oppression, even if it is difficult. It is a holy duty for every Muslim to fight against those who perpetrate evil, who commit genocide, who spread corruption, and who stand as enemies of Allah and His creation.

The Destruction of Genocidal Entities

In our time, we witness acts of genocide, oppression, and injustice that shock the conscience of humanity. These are not merely political issues; they are moral and religious imperatives that demand our attention. Allah commands us:

*"And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, 'Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper'?"* (Surah An-Nisa, 4:75)

It is our duty, as believers, to not only condemn these acts but to actively work towards their destruction. We must strive to eradicate the evil of genocidal entities, the hypocrites who claim righteousness but spread corruption, and the devil worshippers who turn people away from the path of Allah.

The Hypocrites and Their Deceit

Allah warns us about the hypocrites, who are among the most dangerous enemies to the unity and safety of the Ummah:

*"Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves] to the people and not remembering Allah except a little."* (Surah An-Nisa, 4:142)

These hypocrites, who may outwardly appear to be among us, are in fact working to sow division and spread evil. It is imperative that we remain vigilant and united, exposing their deceit and standing together to thwart their plans.

Dear brothers and sisters, our faith calls us to action, not merely to words. We must not only condemn evil but also actively work against it, as an expression of our devotion to Allah. The fight against injustice, oppression, and evil is not just a political duty; it is a sacred obligation, a part of our faith, and an act of worship.

Let us remain steadfast in our unity, hold firmly to the rope of Allah, and strive together to establish justice on earth. May Allah grant us the strength to stand against evil, the wisdom to recognize hypocrisy, and the courage to fight for the oppressed.

*O Allah, grant us unity and strength. Protect the oppressed and grant them victory over their oppressors. Guide us to be firm in our faith and resolute in our actions. Ameen.*

*All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.*

*O Allah, forgive our sins and the sins of all Muslims. O Allah, grant us the strength to fight against oppression and tyranny. O Allah, unite the hearts of the believers and make us steadfast in our faith. O Allah, make us among those who establish justice and eradicate evil.
Ameen.*
