Hutba: “Ijjake na‘budu ve ijjake neste‘in” – Kome se zaista okrećemo?

Hvala Allahu, Gospodaru svih svjetova, Koji nas stvara, opskrbljuje i upućuje na pravi put. Neka su salavat i selam na našeg voljenog Poslanika Muhammeda, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, njegovu porodicu, ashabe i sve one koji iskreno govore: „Samo Tebe obožavamo i samo od Tebe pomoć tražimo.“ (El-Fatiha, 5)

 

Draga braćo i poštovane sestre,

 

Koliko puta dnevno proučimo suru El-Fatihu? Koliko puta svojim jezicima izgovorimo ove veličanstvene riječi? Ali jesmo li ikada zastali da razmislimo šta zapravo govorimo Allahu? Jer ovo nisu samo riječi koje učimo u namazu. Ovo su riječi koje predstavljaju suštinu našeg odnosa prema Allahu i samu srž naše vjere.

 

Kada kažemo: „Ijjake na‘budu“ – „Samo Tebe obožavamo“, mi zapravo govorimo: Gospodaru moj, samo se Tebi klanjam. Samo pred Tobom spuštam čelo na sedždu. Samo Tebi pripada moje srce, moj život i moja pokornost. A kada kažemo: „Ve ijjake neste‘in“ – „I samo od Tebe pomoć tražimo“, mi priznajemo svoju slabost i svoju potrebu za Allahom, dželle šanuhu. Jer čovjek, ma koliko izgledao snažno, ipak je veoma slabo biće.

 

Dovoljan je jedan telefonski poziv iz bolnice da čovjek izgubi mir. Dovoljan je jedan problem u porodici da čovjek osjeti nemoć. Dovoljan je jedan gubitak posla da čovjek shvati koliko je slab. I upravo zato nas Allah uči da svoje srce ne vezujemo za dunjaluk, za ljude, za posao ili položaj, nego za Njega. Jer ljudi mogu otići. Imetak može nestati. Zdravlje može oslabiti. Ali Allah nikada ne ostavlja onoga ko Mu se iskreno okrene.

 

Braćo i sestre, jedna od najvećih grešaka današnjeg čovjeka jeste što misli da njegova nafaka dolazi samo od posla, diplome, biznisa ili poznanstava. Mislimo da je naš uspjeh samo rezultat naše sposobnosti i našeg truda. A Allah, dželle šanuhu, kaže: „Na Zemlji nema nijednog živog bića, a da ga Allah ne hrani.“ (Hud, 6)

 

Subhanallah! Nijedno živo biće na Zemlji nije ostavljeno bez Allahove brige. Ptice svakoga jutra napuštaju svoja gnijezda praznih stomaka, a vraćaju se site, kako nas je poučio Poslanik, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem: „Kada biste se vi oslonili na Allaha istinskim tevekkulom, On bi vas opskrbljivao kao što opskrbljuje ptice: osvanu gladne, a omrknu site.“ (Tirmizi)

 

Allah nas na drugom mjestu u Kur’anu podsjeća: „Koliko ima živih bića koja ne skupljaju sebi hranu! Allah ih hrani, a i vas. On sve čuje i sve zna.“ (El-’Ankebut, 60) Pa kako onda da zaboravimo Onoga Koji nas hrani od prvog dana našeg života, Koji zna naše potrebe prije nego što ih izgovorimo i Koji nam daje bezbrojne blagodati koje često i ne primjećujemo? Allah obećava: „A onome koji se Allaha boji, On će izlaz naći i opskrbit će ga odakle se i ne nada.“ (Et-Talak, 2–3)

 

Zato, kada te obuzmu brige za nafaku, budućnost ili opskrbu, sjeti se da je tvoj rizk kod Allaha. Na tebi je da činiš ono što je do tebe, a na Allahu je ono što je obećao. Nikada nije iznevjerio Svoje obećanje.

 

Braćo i sestre, koliko danas ljudi živi u stalnom strahu za nafaku i budućnost? Koliko ljudi ne može mirno spavati zbog dunjaluka? A zaboravljamo da je nafaka već zapisana. Ali to ne znači da trebamo sjediti i ništa ne raditi. Islam nas uči radu, trudu i odgovornosti. Poslanik, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, nije rekao da ptice ostaju u svojim gnijezdima čekajući hranu. One izlaze, traže i trude se, a Allah im daje nafaku. I mi smo dužni raditi, učiti, planirati i koristiti sredstva koja nam je Allah dao. Mi planiramo, ali Allah određuje. Mi radimo, ali Allah daje bereket. Mi sijemo, ali Allah daje plodove. Mi tražimo sredstva, ali srce ostaje vezano za Gospodara sredstava. Zato je najveća sigurnost kada znaš da je Allah uz tebe.

 

Braćo i sestre, problem današnjeg čovjeka jeste što više vjeruje onome što vidi svojim očima nego Onome Koji je stvorio njegove oči. Više vjerujemo brojevima na bankovnom računu nego Allahovom obećanju. Više vjerujemo svojim planovima nego Allahovoj odredbi. A vjernik zna da su sredstva važna, ali da je Allah Taj Koji daje nafaku, bereket i izlaz iz svake teškoće.

 

Braćo i sestre, danas se mnogi ljudi više boje ljudi nego Allaha. Bojimo se šta će ljudi reći. Bojimo se za posao. Bojimo se za dunjaluk. Bojimo se da ne izgubimo položaj ili ugled. A zaboravljamo da je sve u Allahovoj ruci. Allah pita: „Ko vas opskrbljuje s neba i iz zemlje? Ko upravlja svim?“ (Junus, 31) A odgovor je samo jedan: Allah, dželle šanuhu. Zato je pogrešno bojati se svega, a zaboraviti na Allaha. Pogrešno je oslanjati se na ljude, a zaboraviti Gospodara ljudi.

 

Braćo i sestre, posebno danas želim poručiti našoj omladini: Ne vežite svoja srca za prolazni dunjaluk. Diploma, posao, kuća i uspjeh jesu važni, ali nijedna od tih stvari neće donijeti sreću bez Allaha. Možete imati mnogo novca, a biti prazni iznutra. Možete imati malo, a biti smireni i sretni. Zato čuvajte namaz. Čuvajte dovu. Čuvajte svoju vezu sa Allahom. Jer kada Allah bude uz tebe, niko ti ne može oduzeti mir.

Braćo i sestre, postoji velika razlika između čovjeka koji samo uči Fatihu i čovjeka koji živi Fatihu. Mnogi izgovaraju: „Ijjake na‘budu ve ijjake neste‘in.“ Ali kada dođe iskušenje, srce odmah trči ljudima, strahu i panici. A pravi vjernik prvo ide Allahu. Prvo sedžda. Prvo dova. Prvo oslonac na Gospodara svjetova. Jer vjernik zna da bez Allaha nema uspjeha, nema mira i nema izlaza. Kada Allah otvori vrata, niko ih ne može zatvoriti. A kada ih Allah zatvori, niko ih ne može otvoriti.

 

Zato, braćo i sestre, kada danas završimo ovu džumu i vratimo se svojim kućama, poslovima i obavezama, ponesimo sa sobom riječi koje svakodnevno učimo: „Ijjake na‘budu ve ijjake neste‘in.“ Neka to ne budu samo riječi na našim jezicima, nego uvjerenje u našim srcima i način našeg života.

 

Molim Allaha, dželle šanuhu, da nas učini od onih koji će iskreno obožavati samo Njega i koji će samo od Njega pomoć tražiti.

Gospodaru naš, učvrsti naša srca u vjeri, podari nam halal nafaku, bereket u životu, smiraj u srcima, sačuvaj naše porodice, našu omladinu i naš džemat, i ne dopusti da svoja srca vežemo za bilo koga mimo Tebe. Allahumme amin.

 

Khutbah: “You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help” – Who do we truly turn to?

 

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all worlds, the One who created us, sustains us, and guides us to the straight path. May peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.), his family, his companions, and all those who sincerely say: “You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.” (Surah Al-Fatihah, 1:5)

 

Dear brothers and sisters, how many times do we recite Surah Al-Fatihah every day? How many times do these words pass over our tongues? But have we ever stopped to reflect on what we are actually saying to Allah? These are not merely words that we repeat in our prayers. They are the foundation of our relationship with Allah and the essence of our faith.

 

When we say, “You alone we worship,” we are saying: O Allah, my prayer is for You, my obedience is for You, my loyalty is for You, and my heart belongs to You alone. And when we say, “You alone we ask for help,” we acknowledge our weakness and our constant need for Allah. No matter how strong we think we are, we are fragile servants. One phone call from a hospital can shake our world. One family crisis can leave us feeling helpless. One unexpected loss can remind us how little control we truly have.

 

That is why Allah teaches us not to attach our hearts to wealth, careers, positions, or people, but to attach them to Him. People may leave us. Wealth may disappear. Health may decline. But Allah never abandons those who sincerely turn to Him.

 

Dear brothers and sisters, one of the greatest mistakes of our time is believing that our provision comes solely from our jobs, our education, our businesses, or our connections. We begin to think that our success is entirely the result of our intelligence and effort. But Allah reminds us: “There is no creature on earth except that its provision is upon Allah.” (Surah Hud, 11:6)

 

Suhanallah. No living creature has been forgotten by Allah. The birds leave their nests every morning with empty stomachs and return satisfied. The Prophet (pbuh) said: “If you were to rely upon Allah with true reliance, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds. They leave in the morning hungry and return in the evening full.” (Tirmidhi)

 

Allah also reminds us: “How many creatures carry not their own provision! Allah provides for them and for you. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.” (Surah Al-’Ankabut, 29:60)

 

So how can we forget the One who has been providing for us since the day we were born? The One who knows our needs before we even speak them? The One who blesses us every day with countless favors that we often overlook? Allah promises:“And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.” (Surah At-Talaq, 65:2–3)

 

Whenever worries about provision, finances, or the future overwhelm you, remember that your rizq is with Allah. Your responsibility is to do your part. Allah will fulfill His promise. And Allah never breaks His promise.

 

Dear brothers and sisters, how many people today live in constant fear about money and the future? How many people lose sleep over worldly concerns? Yet we forget that our provision has already been decreed. This does not mean that we sit at home and do nothing. Islam teaches effort, responsibility, and hard work. The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) did not tell us that birds stay in their nests waiting for food. They go out, search, strive, and work, and Allah provides for them. Likewise, we are commanded to work, learn, plan, and use the means Allah has placed before us. We plan, but Allah determines. We work, but Allah gives barakah. We plant the seeds, but Allah brings forth the harvest. We take the means, but our hearts remain attached to the Lord of all means. That is why true security comes from knowing that Allah is with you.

Dear brothers and sisters, one of the problems of modern people is that we trust what we see more than we trust the One who created our eyes. We trust bank accounts more than Allah’s promise. We trust our plans more than Allah’s decree. But the believer understands that while means are important, Allah alone grants provision, blessings, and relief from hardship.

 

Dear brothers and sisters, many people today fear people more than they fear Allah. We worry about what others will say. We worry about our jobs. We worry about our status and reputation. Yet we forget that everything is in Allah’s Hands. Allah asks: “Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? Who controls all affairs?” (Surah Yunus, 10:31) The answer is only one: Allah SWT. Therefore, it is a mistake to fear everything while forgetting Allah. It is a mistake to depend on people while neglecting the Lord of all people.

 

To our youth especially, I say: Do not attach your hearts to this temporary world. Education, careers, homes, and success are important, but none of these things can bring true happiness without Allah. You may have a great deal of wealth and still feel empty inside. You may have very little and still be at peace. Protect your prayers. Protect your du‘a. Protect your relationship with Allah. Because when Allah is with you, no one can take away your inner peace.

 

Dear brothers and sisters, there is a great difference between someone who merely recites Al-Fatihah and someone who lives by Al-Fatihah. Many people say: “You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.” But when hardship comes, their hearts immediately run to fear, panic, and people. The true believer turns to Allah first. First comes sujood. First comes du‘a. First comes reliance upon the Lord of the worlds. Because the believer knows that without Allah there is no success, no peace, and no way out. When Allah opens a door, no one can close it. And when Allah closes a door, no one can open it.

 

So, dear brothers and sisters, when we leave this masjid today and return to our homes, jobs, and responsibilities, let us carry these words with us: “You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.” Let these words be more than something we recite with our tongues. Let them become a conviction in our hearts and a way of life.

 

We ask Allah to make us among those who worship Him sincerely and seek help from Him alone.

O Allah, strengthen our faith, grant us halal provision, bless our lives with barakah, fill our hearts with peace, protect our families, our youth, and our community, and never allow our hearts to become attached to anyone or anything more than You. Allahumma Ameen.
