The Virtue of Knowledge and Education First Sermon Praise be to Allah, Who has elevated the status of knowledge and scholars, and preferred those who possess truth and guidance. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. Allah sent him as a guide, a bringer of good news, and a luminous lamp. May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and all his companions. As for what follows: Fear Allah, O servants of Allah, for the fear of Allah is the best provision and the cause of victory and light. Allah, the Most High, said: “And fear Allah, and Allah will teach you” [Al-Baqarah: 282]. O Muslims: We are welcoming a new academic year, in which the doors of knowledge and education are opened. In Islam, knowledge holds a noble status, and its practitioner is great; for it is the leader to all good, and the path to honor and empowerment. Allah has elevated the status of scholars and the learned, saying, the Exalted and Mighty: “Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge in degrees” [Al-Mujadilah: 11]. And He made the seeking of knowledge a path that leads to Paradise. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise.” O teachers and female teachers: You carry a great trust and a noble mission; how noble is this responsibility! You are the shapers of minds, the educators of generations, and the planters of values. Fear Allah in what has been entrusted to you, be sincere in your intentions, and be a good role model for your students in knowledge and morals. Teach them what benefits them, protect them from deviant ideas, and raise them upon moderation and balance, gentle speech, and patience. For the trust in your hands is great, and the reward with Allah is abundant. O students and female students: Your welcoming of the new academic year must be with sincere determination, diligence and effort, respect for your teachers and female teachers, and passion for acquiring beneficial sciences. Know that the future of your nation and your community is built upon your diligence and excellence. So, cherish your time, utilize the available opportunities, and be the best ambassadors for your upbringing and your families. O fathers and mothers (the family): The family is the primary incubator and the fundamental partner in success; your preparation of a suitable environment at home, your monitoring of your children in their studies and behaviors, and your encouragement of their discipline are seeds that will one day bear fruit in the form of success, filial piety, and pride for the entire family and society. May Allah bless you and me in the Great Quran, and benefit me and you with what is in it of verses and wise remembrance. I say this, and I seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for you and for all Muslims from every sin. So seek His forgiveness, for He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. Second Sermon Praise be to Allah, with much, good, and blessed praise. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and his companions, with much peace. As for what follows: Fear Allah, O servants of Allah, and know that among the great blessings of Allah upon us is the blessing of security, safety, stability, and unity under one flag. O Muslims: Establishing Islamic and national values in the hearts of our children is a religious obligation and a social responsibility. And the true citizenship of a person is manifested in his love for his homeland, loyalty to his rulers, defense of it, preservation of its achievements and resources, and working to elevate its status in all fields. And among what Islam obligates upon us is: strengthening the methodology of moderation and balance, distancing oneself from extremism and harshness, and protecting our youth and young women from the curricula of deviant groups and misguided ideas that target the security of our country and our national unity. Then know that Allah has commanded you to send blessings and peace upon His noble Prophet, and He, the Exalted and Mighty, said: “Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who have believed, send blessings upon him and give peace [to him] with [due] submission” [Al-Ahzab: 56]. O Allah, send blessings and peace and bestow blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

فضل العلم والتعليم الخطبة الأولى الحمد لله الذي رفع شأن العلم والعلماء، وفضّل أهل الحق والهدى، وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدًا عبده ورسوله، بعثه الله هاديًا وبشيرًا وسراجًا منيرًا، فصلوات الله وسلامه عليه وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين. أما بعد : فاتقوا الله عباد الله، فإن تقوى الله خير زاد، وسبب للفتح والنور، قال تعالى: ﴿ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ اللَّهُ ﴾ [البقرة: 282]. أيها المسلمون : إننا نستقبل عامًا دراسيًا جديدًا، تفتح فيه أبواب العلم والتعليم، والعلم في الإسلام مقامه كريم، وفاعله عظيم؛ فهو القائد إلى كل خير، والسبيل إلى العز والتمكين. لقد رفع الله قدر العلماء والعلماء والمتعلمين فقال جل وعلا: ﴿ يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ ﴾ [المجادلة: 11]، وجعل طلب العلم طريقًا يوصل إلى الجنة، قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: «من سلك طريقًا يلتمس فيه علمًا، سهل الله له به طريقًا إلى الجنة». أيها المعلمون والمعلمات: إنكم تحملون أمانة عظيمة ورسالة سامية؛ فأكرم بها من مسؤولية! أنتم صناع العقول، ومربو الأجيال، وغارسو القيم. اتقوا الله فيما أُسند إليكم، وأخلصوا النية، وكونوا قدوة حسنة لطلابكم في العلم والأخلاق، وعلموهم ما ينفعهم، وحصنوهم من الأفكار المنحرفة، وربوهم على الوسطية والاعتدال، ولين القول، والصبر، فالأمانة بين أيديكم كبيرة، والأجر عند الله جزيل. أيها الطلاب والطالبات : إن استقبالكم للعام الدراسي الجديد يجب أن يكون بعزيمة صادقة، وجد واجتهاد، واحترام لمدرسيكم ومدرساتكم، وشغف في تحصيل العلوم نافعها. اعلموا أن مستقبل وطنكم وأمتكم يُبنى على ساعد جدكم وتفوقكم، فاحرصوا على الوقت، واستغلوا الإمكانات المتاحة، وكونوا خير سفراء لتربيتكم وأسركم. أيها الآباء والأمهات (الأسرة) : إن الأسرة هي المحضن الأول والشريك الأساس في النجاح؛ فتهيئتكم للبيئة المناسبة في المنزل، ومتابعتكم الأبناء في دراستهم وسلوكياتهم، وتشجيعهم على الانضباط، غراسٌ تثمر يومًا ما نجاحًا وبرًا وفخرًا لكافة الأسرة والمجتمع. بارك الله لي ولكم في القرآن العظيم، ونفعني وإياكم بما فيه من الآيات والذكر الحكيم، أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم ولسائر المسلمين من كل ذنب، فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم. الخطبة الثانية الحمد لله حمدًا كثيرًا طيبًا مباركًا فيه، وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدًا عبده ورسوله، صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم تسليمًا كثيرًا. أما بعد : فاتقوا الله -عباد الله- واعلموا أن من نعم الله العظمى علينا نعمة الأمن والأمان والاستقرار والاجتماع تحت راية واحدة. أيها المسلمون : إن ترسيخ القيم الإسلامية والوطنية في نفوس أبنائنا واجب شرعي ومسؤولية مجتمعية. وإن مواطنة المرء الحقيقية تتجلى في حبه لوطنه، والولاء لولاة أمره، والدفاع عنه، والمحافظة على مكتسباته ومقدراته، والعمل على رفعة شأنه في كافة الميادين. وإن مما يوجبه الإسلام علينا: تعزيز منهج الوسطية والاعتدال، والبعد عن الغلو والجفاء، وتحصين شبابنا وفتياتنا من مناهج الجماعات المنحرفة والأفكار الضالة التي تستهدف أمن بلادنا ووحدتنا الوطنية. ثم اعلموا أن الله أمركم بالصلاة والسلام على نبيه الكريم، فقال جل وعلا: ﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا ﴾ [الأحزاب: 56]. اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على نبينا محمد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين.
