Sheikh Faisal Ghazzawi
Masjid al-Haram, Makkah
February 07, 2025
The sermon emphasizes that all true power originates from Allah, the All-Powerful, and humans are inherently weak and constantly dependent on Him. It warns against arrogance from personal strength, citing the example of the people of Ad, and highlights that a believer's heart must be attached to Allah alone. True strength for a Muslim is found in faith, adherence to the Quran and Sunnah, reliance on Allah, seeking forgiveness, and remembering Him, as these fortify the heart and body. The sermon encourages Muslims to pursue strength in all its forms – spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social – to be more beneficial to themselves and the community. It concludes by stressing that victory and success are tied to the strength of hearts, unity, and righteous action, not merely material might.
