Qadar: Finding Peace in Allah’s Plan

In this deeply reflective and faith-strengthening khutbah, Sheikh Salahadin addresses one of the core foundations of Islamic belief: understanding and accepting the Qadar (Divine Decree) of Allah ﷻ. He reminds the congregation that belief in Allah’s decree, both what appears good and what appears difficult, is not optional, but an essential part of Iman.

Sheikh Salahadin explains that Allah alone is in control of every aspect of our lives: our past, present, and future. Through powerful real-life examples, stories of the companions, and lessons from daily experiences, he shows how many of the hardships, delays, and disappointments we face are in fact forms of divine protection and mercy that we may not recognize at the moment.

The khutbah emphasizes the difference between questioning Allah in objection versus seeking wisdom and learning. Sheikh Salahadin warns against allowing trials to damage our relationship with Allah, reminding us that patience, trust, and reliance on Allah bring peace of heart, while anger and objection only deepen hardship. He concludes by calling the community to respond to life’s challenges with faith, patience, responsibility, and mercy, trusting that Allah’s plan is always better than our own, even when we cannot yet see it.
