The 2026 sermon series outlines a comprehensive "Spiritual Blueprint" for the modern Muslim, balancing internal character with external impact. It begins with the Heart, asserting that true mercy is measured by our restlessness for the suffering Ummah, such as those in Sudan. This empathy fuels Situational Leadership, where individuals are called to move beyond middle-class complacency and act as visionaries (Khalifa) or spiritual foundations (Imam). By investing in the youth and sacrificing minor luxuries, the goal is to build a community legacy that transcends the immediate future and prepares for the next century of leadership.The second pillar of this series focuses on Productivity and Resilience. Rather than relying solely on planning apps, the believer is urged to master Tawakkul—putting in maximum effort (the "shaking the palm tree" principle) while leaving the results to Allah. This sincerity is stress-tested during life's "Trench moments," where pressure reveals whether one's faith is transactional or firm. Finally, the series emphasizes the Strategy of Resources, reminding us that Allah will not judge us based on someone else's assets, but on how we repurposed our specific talents—whether in science, mediation, or diplomacy—to earn the Akhirah.The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier (IOST) is a mosque located in the Binghamton area, dedicated to serving the needs of Muslims in the area.

IOST Masjid | Khutbah: Talents: Divine Assets | January 23, 2026

The first half of this series emphasizes that a living heart must feel the pain of the global $Ummah$, particularly the millions currently displaced in Sudan. This empathy is the foundation of "Situational Leadership," which challenges us to move beyond middle-class complacency and act as visionary stewards ($Khalifa$). By sacrificing minor luxuries—like the annual cost of a coffee habit—to support orphans and by intentionally empowering our youth today, we create a community legacy designed to last for the next 100 years.The second half focuses on the internal resilience required to maintain this vision. True productivity is found in $Tawakkul$ (trust in Allah), where we exert maximum effort—"shaking the palm tree" for results—while remaining spiritually content with the outcome. This sincerity is tested during times of extreme stress, much like the Battle of the Trench, which serves as a mirror for the soul. While pressure causes some to make excuses or use "sharp tongues," the true believer uses every trial to validate their faith and draw closer to the Creator.The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier (IOST) is a mosque located in the Binghamton area, dedicated to serving the needs of Muslims in the area.

IOST Masjid | Khutbah: Trench: Believers vs Hypocrites | January 16, 2026

This third sermon addresses productivity anxiety in 2026, arguing that while we have more "planning apps" than ever, we are more stressed because we rely on ourselves rather than the Creator.The "Planning App" of the SunnahThe speaker offers a specific spiritual routine to eliminate worldly anxiety: Recite the following dua 7 times in the morning and 7 times in the evening."Hasbiya Allahu la ilaha illa Huwa, 'alayhi tawakkaltu, wa Huwa Rabbul-Arshil-Adhim."(Allah is enough for me. There is no god but Him. In Him I trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.)The 4 Steps to "Anxiety-Free" PlanningEnd Arrogance: Your success isn't just "hard work" or "investment." It is Allah's permission. Like Prophet Sulaiman, attribute everything to Grace; don't be like Qarun, who thought his wealth was his own doing."Shake the Tree": Trusting Allah doesn't mean being lazy. Maryam (as) was in labor, yet Allah told her to shake the palm tree to get dates. You must put in the effort to see the miracle.Accept Redirection: Sometimes Allah takes an "old toy" (a job or a plan) out of your hands only because He is emptying them to give you a "new toy" (something better).Dua as Strategy: Planning is incomplete without pleading. Even when the Prophet (ﷺ) was strategically planning for war, he relied on $Dua$ as his primary source of strength.The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier (IOST) is a mosque located in the Binghamton area, dedicated to serving the needs of Muslims in the area.

IOST Masjid | Khutbah: Prophetic Planning over Modern Hustle | January 9, 2026

These two sermons provide a roadmap for the modern Muslim community, moving from internal empathy to external leadership.Sermon 1: The Heart & the "One Body"
This talk focuses on the spiritual obligation to feel the pain of the global community (Ummah), specifically regarding the crisis in Sudan.The "One Body" Hadith: If one part of the Muslim community suffers, the whole body should feel the fever and restlessness.True Mercy: Defined as providing safety and nourishment (like a mother’s womb), not just feeling pity.The Coffee Challenge: The speaker notes that Americans spend $3,000/year on coffee, while just $1,000/year provides an orphan with food, water, and education.The Goal: Restoring a "dead heart" through immediate humanitarian action.Sermon 2: Quranic Leadership & Vision
This talk explores how leadership is a set of qualities, not a job title.Situational Leadership: Like the figure Dhul-Qarnayn, leaders must adapt—sometimes being a visionary, sometimes a mentor, and sometimes an authority figure.Three Key Roles:Khalifa (Steward): A visionary who builds a blueprint for those who come after them.Sultan (Authority): Power derived from the truth of Revelation.Imam (Foundation): Leadership built on a deep, personal relationship with Allah.The 100-Year Plan: The speaker challenges the community to stop being "middle-class status quo" and start empowering 10-year-olds to be the future presidents of the masjid.The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier (IOST) is a mosque located in the Binghamton area, dedicated to serving the needs of Muslims in the area.
