Jumadi al-Ula 21, 1444
Discourse about mental health is increasingly common among Muslims, and many seek to back project modern mental health terms to the time of the Prophet and his Companions.
This Khutba reflects on the hadith of Hind b. Abi Hala who said, 'The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was in a continual state of worry...' and looks at its proper understanding.

Jumadi al-Ula 7, 1444
US holiday spending last year was 135 billion dollars. One in ten unwanted gifts will go to the landfill, and only one percent of the goods given on Christmas are even used one month later.
It's easy for us as Muslims to read these sobering statistics and get a sense of moral superiority, but that is not the correct attitude or approach we should take as Muslims. Allah tells us the stories of past nations and what happened with them as cautionary tales, not for us to gloat about our superiority.
What is the Quranic message that address the wanton consumerism that surrounds us, and how deep are we into it as well?
