Imam-e-Kabba also urged Muslims to keep praying and paying zakat to the needy people. Dr. Salah also urged Muslims to take care of their neighbours.

He said Allah commands believers to cooperate in righteousness and to adopt piety. The sermon called upon Muslims to treat their parents with kindness and always speak the truth.

Worshippers were urged to show compassion toward orphans, the needy, widows, and neighbors. It was reminded that Allah does not like those who are arrogant or boastful.

“Believers were also instructed to remain faithful to their promises and commitments, with a warning that the devil seeks to create divisions among them.”

Ibless is your enemy, avoid following him and keep praying to Allah, Sheikh Saleh said in his Hajj sermon.
