Friday Sermon: The Meaning of Safar Month in Islam

This Friday sermon reminds us that the month of Safar, the second month in the Hijri calendar, is often misunderstood as a month of bad luck by some communities. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized in a hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim that there is no bad omen in Safar, and Islam frees its followers from such superstitions. All months are equally Allah’s creation, and calamities occur by His decree. Islamic history shows many important events took place in Safar, and the Prophet actually filled this month with righteous deeds. The sermon stresses the importance of utilizing time as the greatest blessing, as stated by Allah in QS. Al-‘Ashr 1-3 and the hadith about five things before five things. Every moment should be filled with worship, repentance, and good deeds. In this digital age, the biggest test is wasting time on useless matters. The sermon calls on the congregation to quickly better themselves, make use of health and opportunity before it’s too late, and make Safar a momentum to increase piety and righteous deeds. https://mozaik.inilah.com/dakwah/khutbah-jumat-makna-bulan-safar-dalam-islam
