Introduction

We begin by praising alla so hanatara, and by bearing witness that none has the right to be worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except for him. The entire hutba that i want to give to day is actually based upon a dra - it's a dura that, in some manifestation, gets attributed to the messenger salulahaniha selam. But there is no authentic chain directly to him. And we know from the salef that they had their connection with the loss of hanoatad. And they had their way of calling upon allah. That is very instructive to us to think about the way they perceived a las of panhtaada.
