Australia: Friday Khutbah, "Life & Death of the Messenger"
In the past few months, we have seen a sharp increase in attacks against Islam and Muslim women in particular. Verbal abuse, hijabs pulled off, death threats and even physical assaults; these are just a few of the barrage of crimes perpetrated on our fellow Muslim sisters throughout the country. Indeed, they are singled out by the Islamophobic hysteria that is sweeping through the country. All this simply for adhering to their Deen of Islam by wearing the hijab. For example, six Muslim sisters at McMaster University were forced to move out of their home after they found a knife stuck in a wall of their home. This was after a sister – born in Canada – was attacked by two men after picking up her children from school. She was repeatedly kicked in the stomach, punched in her face, while being called a ‘terrorist’ and told to 'go back to her country.'

Every few minutes of the day, on our TV, smartphones and via the internet, we receive the latest news and videos of atrocities facing our Ummah in the areas where we live and abroad. The latest massacre in Syria, the latest verbal assault on a Muslim woman on a bus in London and the latest UK government policy targeting our Mosques and madrassas. The constant barrage of bad news through the forwarding of these messages and videos is leading some to despair and choose to become silent or even change their appearance and aspects of our Deen – due to not seeing a way out of the many tests that are facing us on many fronts.
On the 24th of December 2015, the BBC reported the death of a 10th month old baby girl in Pakistan’s Karachi's Civil Hospital named Bisma Faisal Baloch. She was delayed medical treatment for her breathing difficulties for over an hour due the visit of the Chairman of the Pakistan's People's Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto. The incident has sparked international condemnation, particularly in Pakistan’s social media groups as there has been increasing criticism of Pakistan’s elite Very Important Person (VIP) culture where the needs of those not linked to the government are neglected. Doctors stated that the toddler could have been saved if she was able to access the hospital only 10 minutes earlier.
