Quranic Sermon on the Recognition of Allah Almighty
Upon hearing this, Imām Ḥasan al-Baṣrī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه made a firm intention to never laugh again, and to spend the rest of his life absorbed in concern for the Hereafter.[1]
Dear Islamic brothers! This is the reality of death. The fact that no one lives in this world forever is proof that Allah Almighty exists and has no partner. It is therefore our obligation to attain His recognition and, bowing our heads in His court, say: سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّیَ الْاَعْلٰی Glory be to my Lord, the Most High!
Dear Islamic brothers! It is in our best interest to attain the recognition of Allah Almighty in this world and dedicate ourselves to His worship. If we fail to do so, remember there is more to come after death.
ثُمَّ یُحْیِیْكُمْ ثُمَّ اِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ(۲۸)
then He will bring you to life; and then to Him you shall be returned?
We will be resurrected and will stand before Allah Almighty to account for every moment of our lives. Therefore, it is best that we correct ourselves today, attain the recognition of Allah Almighty, and spend our lives in His worship and in deeds that are pleasing to Him.
Subtle Disbelief and Its Signs
Perhaps some of you think, اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ, we are Muslims, we believe in Allah Almighty, and we have firm faith in لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہ, so we have attained the recognition of Allah Almighty. Indeed, we are Muslims, believers in Allah Almighty, and reciters of the testimony of faith. However, we also need to heed what Imām al-Ghazālī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه has mentioned. He writes:
