South African Imam M. Kuather Razak: Prepare Your Children To Serve Allah Completely; Speak Openly About The Sacred, Noble Act Of Jihad; The Term Has Been Censored In Mosques In Europe, Removed From Textbooks In Some Muslim Countries; The Infidels Fear Us; May We Love Death More Than Our Enemies Love Life – When We Do, We Will Regain The Essence Of Islam​

In his May 16, 2025 Friday sermon at Masjid Al-Haqq in Pretoria, South Africa, Imam M. Kuather Razak emphasized the importance of Jihad in Islam. He said that the Islamic nation has been "conquered so much" that they now fear to utter the "sacred" word "Jihad." Razak advised listeners not to let this world "shackle" them and urged Muslims to prepare themselves and their children to serve their Lord "completely."

He said that they must be bold and speak openly about "the noble act which is Jihad." Razak complained that the term Jihad has been removed from textbooks in certain Muslim countries and that in Europe it cannot be used because mosque sermons are censored. He added: "May we love death as much, and even more so, than our enemies love life." Razak stated that once Muslims understand the meaning of loving to meet their Creator and seeking His pleasure, they will regain the essence of Islam. The sermon was posted on the YouTube channel of The Institute for Islamic Services (IISofSA).

M. Kuather Razak: "The infidels – they fear us – we must understand this. They fear belief so much, hence they attack every fiber of our society, and they will never stop, unless – as Allah has told us – you follow their religion. They will never stop. We as a nation, have been conquered so much that we even fear to utter the term Jihad – something so sacred, so honorable with the forsaken, the meaning of the term Jihad has been so twisted and demonized. Ask yourself: Do you love this life more than returning to your Lord?

"Don't allow this world to shackle you. A believer must always be prepared to dedicate their lives to Allah completely. We need to prepare our children, we need to prepare ourselves, we need to be bold. We need to talk about it more freely, about the noble act which is Jihad. It has been removed from certain Muslim countries' textbooks. We don't impress upon it in our madrassas, schools, and mosques. In Europe, they cannot use certain terms like 'Jihad,' they censor the talks in the mosques.

"In the words, once again, of Khalid Ibn al-Walid, the Sword of Allah: 'May we love death as much, and even more so, than our enemies love life.' Make our love for meeting our Creator and seeking His pleasure be far greater than anything that exists in this world, for when we understand what this means and what it takes, we will regain the essence of Islam."
