Friday Juma KhutbaSeptember 26th, 2025- Next Tuesday is the National Day of Truth & Reconciliation, remembering the atrocities and generational impact of residential schools in Canada.- The government was slow to acknowledge the injustices: land theft, broken treaties, forced removal of children, suppression of Indigenous languages and culture, and church-run residential schools.- The government and Catholic Church later apologized, but many treaty obligations remain unfulfilled, such as the Ontario case where $4 per person was promised with annual increases but never implemented; the Supreme Court in July 2024 called it a mockery, and First Nations are demanding $160 billion.- Some Ontario cities, like Vaughan, have adopted Indigenous land acknowledgements, but symbolic gestures are not enough without honoring treaty commitments.- Indigenous peoples are not asking for their lands back but for fair value and payments according to signed treaties; the issue is justice, not ownership.- This means living on these lands is not impermissible for others, as the matter is between the government and Indigenous peoples regarding fair compensation.- Shifting to the Middle East: 156 countries have recognized Palestine, with strong applause at the UN when France announced recognition.- Despite global recognition, the US continues to delay action.- Recognition alone is symbolic and must be followed by meaningful steps.- Former Canadian foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy emphasized that statements and rhetoric must be backed by action.- Past injustices cannot be excused by new realities such as illegal West Bank settlements.- Imam ‘Ali (a) stated: “Verily the old right is not nullified by anything,” highlighting that longstanding rights and injustices must still be addressed, relevant to the Palestinian cause.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Friday Juma KhutbaSeptember 19th, 2025https://www.al-m.ca/marriagePlaylist on Marriage:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiWrxSBgXI99MXOYSRsQxS5wTQAn_aw6w- Emphasized importance of the marriage contract, especially optional conditions where the wife can secure the right to divorce in cases like abuse.- One condition highlighted was physical abuse and violence.- Some misuse Qur’an 4:34 to justify abuse; but “disobedience” refers to a specific context which many misuse- Qur’an prescribes three steps of discipline- Verse is a restriction of pre-Islamic violence, not a license for abuse (as emphasized by Professor Amina Wudud).- The third option is not obligatory and can be skipped; divorce is the final solution.- If local law deems even symbolic discipline a crime, it must be avoided due to legal and family consequences.- Neither the Prophet nor the Imams ever used that option in practice.- Violence can occur from wives too, but in that case husbands already have options: patience or divorce.- Family peace comes from muwaddah (affection) and raḥmah (compassion), required from both spouses.- Those facing minor marital tensions should reflect on larger global struggles.- Natural disasters like Afghanistan’s earthquake and Pakistan’s floods differ from man-made crises.- Gaza crisis: over 64,000 killed (46% women and children), 160,000 injured, massive destruction of essential infrastructure.- UN Commission of Inquiry states Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, fulfilling four out of five acts defined in the 1948 convention.- Reflecting on global suffering may provide perspective for handling personal challenges.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)
