Friday Juma KhutbaOctober 3rd, 2025- Today marks the birth anniversary of the 11th Imām, Ḥasan al-‘Askari (a).- Islam is a straight path, away from extremes.- Imām al-‘Askari (a) urged moderation and warned against extravagance.- One must live within one’s means and avoid debt.- In modern North America, debt is normalized through student loans and credit systems.- Imām ‘Ali (a) warned that debt causes anxiety at night and humiliation during the day.- Credit cards tempt overspending; discipline is needed to use them only for convenience and pay on time.- Banks exploit customer greed and reward those who don’t pay off on time.- Even charity must have moderation; beyond limits it becomes wasteful.- Qur’ān (17:26–30) emphasizes balance: give relatives, the needy, and travelers their due, but avoid wastefulness, which is linked to satanic behavior.- If unable to help financially, respond with gentle words.- Balance in charity means neither extreme miserliness nor extreme extravagance.- Allah controls provision, expanding or limiting it as He wills.- Studying history requires looking at all perspectives, not only the victors’ version.- Indigenous peoples of Canada and Native Americans share experiences of displacement and oppression.- In 2007, Queen Elizabeth called the British landing in Virginia a celebration of three civilizations’ meeting, but Native Americans saw it as the start of land loss and reservations.- The 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre killed 250–300 Native men, women, and children; soldiers received medals of honor.- Attempts were made to revoke those medals, but later administrations insisted on keeping them.- The Gaza “peace plan” reflects the same pattern: drawn up by oppressors and supporters without input from Palestinians.- The plan ignored disproportionate Palestinian casualties and destruction.- Trump stated Hamas should accept the plan after “20,000 killed” and leadership eliminated, implying the remaining 46,000 were innocent victims unacknowledged in the narrative.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

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)
