● Social media has transformed how quickly and widely information spreads, placing news directly in people’s hands.● It can be a tool for either good or evil depending on how it’s used.● Extremist groups like ISIS used social media to recruit youth globally, even from countries like the UK and Canada.● In Sydney, a father and son attacked the Jewish community during Hanukkah, killing 15 and injuring 40.● A Syrian Muslim man, Ahmed al-Ahmed, heroically stopped one of the attackers, saving lives despite being shot twice.● The Qur’an teaches that killing an innocent person is like killing all humanity, while saving one life is like saving all humanity—these verses apply respectively to the attackers and to Ahmed al-Ahmed.● Social media can negatively affect spiritual life, especially when young people are misled by half-truths.● Misguiders often mix truth with falsehood to make their propaganda more convincing.● Imam ‘Ali (a) said doubts resemble truth, which is why they are dangerous.● Historical example: Mu‘awiyah used propaganda to shift blame for the death of ‘Ammar away from himself, claiming ‘Ali was responsible.● Imam ‘Ali countered by pointing out the absurdity of the argument, saying that by the same logic, the Prophet would be to blame for Hamzah’s death at Uhud.

Friday Juma KhutbaNovember 21st, 2025The sermon opens by reminding believers to maintain God-consciousness and seek protection from spiritual pitfalls.The global Shia community is commemorating the martyrdom of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (a), whose short life left a profound and lasting impact on Islamic history.Many non-Muslims first drawn to the tragedy of Karbala end up discovering Fatima (a), which becomes a turning point in their spiritual journey.Christopher Clohessy, a Catholic priest, was led to Fatima (a) through his research on Imam Husayn, finding deep parallels between Fatima and Mary in Christianity.A Hindu convert to Islam also found his final spiritual pull through studying the life of Lady Fatima (a).Even within the Arab world, seekers have embraced Shi‘ism after being moved by the eloquence and conviction of Fatima’s sermons, especially her arguments on inheritance rights.Fatima’s powerful words in her khutbah—challenging injustice and affirming Qur’anic truth—have transformed hearts and guided many towards recognizing her spiritual authority.She is described as a “furqan,” a divine standard that separates truth from falsehood.The second sermon highlights a section of Fatima’s speech explaining the spiritual and social wisdom behind various Islamic rituals.These include faith as purification, prayer as removal of arrogance, charity as growth, fasting as sincerity, justice as unity, obedience to the Ahlul Bayt as protection from division, and many other ethical foundations culminating in pure monotheism.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)
