Maldives Friday Sermon: True Muslims Never Abandon Islam Even Under Oppression

In the Friday sermon delivered under the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, the message was clear: a true Muslim remains steadfast in Islam despite any sacrifice or oppression. The sermon highlighted Islam as the most perfect religion, guiding towards success and good morals, while lamenting that some neglect religious duties and adopt foreign cultures. It cited examples from the Prophet Muhammad's time, including the torture of Bilal and Khabbab ibn al-Artt, who endured severe pain but did not renounce their faith. The sermon concluded that the honor and sovereignty of the Muslim community stem from Islam.
