Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is your opinion (may Allah honor you) regarding some preachers whose entire discourse is about the Fire and its punishment, and people deserving to enter it because of their sins and the fewness of their deeds, while they do not speak about Paradise and what Allah has prepared in it for His believing servants?
Answer:
The preacher varies the sermon; he varies it. He comes with the call to Allah and varies it. He comes with admonition and reminder, and he comes with the knowledge of creed and tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and he comes with explaining the legal rulings of what is halal and haram. He varies it; he does not stick to one thing or one type. Yes, and this is also according to the needs of the people and the needs of the attendees. If he sees in them a need for teaching the legal rulings, he explains them to them, regarding what is halal and haram. If there is something among them regarding tawhid, or something that undermines the creed, he reminds them of it and explains it to them. If he sees in them negligence regarding sins and disobedience, he comes with admonitions and reminders of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
