My last Jummah Khutbaa of the year is coming up this Friday, coincidently the same day as my birthday. When I prepare for jummah khutbaa I look at my faults and how I can change them, and then write a khutbaa on that. Hence this khutbaa I look at the past year at Harry Ainlay high school, the toughest year of my life, I know it’s only my 17th and almost 18th but this was the toughest year. I did something different though instead of looking at the negatives of this year, I looked at the positives, and saw of course with Allah’s help, how much we accomplish as a school, as our mini Ummah. Therefore I realized this dream, these accomplishments, would have never succeeded if we didn’t believe in ourselves, if we didn’t have hope. The last khutbaa of mine is going to be about “impossible is nothing” (thx addidas). I want to tell the brothers and sisters that whatever you want to do in this life you can achieve, The only obstacle and barriers u have, is what u set. When u began thinking and believing in yourself then the next step, is what ur going to devout your time to, what are u going to take to new levels, and that’s when my brother sheriff steps in. Two khutbaaas left, I am actually going to miss Ainlay, I am going to miss how we are so tight, that we had an Ummah. Khair Inshallah, U of A, has a bigger Ummah more brothers to spread the love with.
