Jumu’ah Khutbah on the Terror Attack In New Zealand

Jummah Kutbah on the Terrorist Attack on our Muslim brothers and sisters of New Zealand. The solace we can take is those who passed:

Died as martyrs
Died in a state of wudu
Died during Jumuah Salah
Died on a blessed Friday
Died in the blessed month of Rajab

We who live on should honor their memories by tawbah, getting right with God and serving His creation

Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 154:
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَشْعُرُونَ

And do not speak of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead; nay, (they are) alive, but you do not perceive.
