All praise is due to Allah. All praise is due to Allah, the One who has guided us to the paths of peace, and we ask Him for the intercession of the noble Prophet. I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and He is One; there is no partner with Him, the Lord of Glory and Honor. And I bear witness that our master and prophet, Muhammad, is His servant and messenger. May Allah send blessings, peace, and mercy upon our master Muhammad, and upon Allah and His companions, and upon those who follow them with goodness until the Day of Judgment. As for what follows: O brothers, I advise you and myself to fear Allah and to obey Him, for you will succeed. Allah, the Exalted, said in the Holy Quran: 'I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed devil. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak a word of appropriate justice. He will make [your] deeds righteous and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment.' And Allah, the Exalted, said: 'O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims.' Allah, the Almighty, has spoken the truth.

"Friday congregation, may Allah have mercy on you. Every August 17, we celebrate the commemoration of the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia. We all must be grateful to Allah SWT for all the blessings He has bestowed upon the Indonesian nation so that our fighters succeeded in achieving that independence with all their sacrifices. Struggling against colonizers is a necessity because, in essence, it is only to Allah SWT that His created beings, especially humans, should devote themselves."

This is as emphasized in Surah Adh-Dhariyat, verse 56: وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونَ. Meaning: “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” The verse above serves as a theological foundation that a nation must have independence. Without independence, humans will continuously be oppressed by other humans to serve their interests in order to realize their ambitions and greed.

The loss of human freedom due to oppression and colonization by fellow humans distances them from fulfilling the commands of Allah SWT. It is precisely for this reason that fighting against colonizers to gain the freedom to worship Allah SWT becomes a legal obligation. Those who fall in that struggle are called martyrs and are provided with paradise as their worthy final resting place.

"Friday congregation, may Allah have mercy on you. If we return to the history of Islam, we will know that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a great figure, a fighter for liberation and independence. He has freed humanity from all forms of colonization and servitude to fellow human beings. History proves to us that at the time he was appointed as a prophet and messenger, humanity had strayed too far from the guidance of the previous prophets."

"They become slaves to their own desires. They are misguided in searching for direction and purpose in life and act foolishly in fulfilling spiritual demands, even worshiping the idols and statues they have created themselves. The strong act arbitrarily, seizing or usurping the rights of the weak. The weak continue to be oppressed and colonized. Ignorance due to the lack of knowledge of what is right and what is wrong continues to grip them, so that the era is known as the age of ignorance."

"Therefore, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent to free society from all forms of colonization, both physically and spiritually. His struggle began in Mecca and was fully realized by forming the Muslim community in Medina, which then became a model of a civil society. This model and strategy of his struggle became a reference in building a free and sovereign state."

Here's the translation of the provided 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving the HTML tags: ```html Sidang Jum'ah rahimakumullah, Peringatan hari kemerdekaan menuntut kita untuk merenung sejenak apakah yang telah kita kerjakan dalam mengisi kemerdekaan ini. Tuntutan ini telah diabadikan dalam Al-Qur'an dalam surah At-Taubah, ayat 105, yang berbunyi: وَلْيَقُلِ اعْمَلُوا فَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَـيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ Artinya: “And say (O Muhammad): Work, for indeed Allah and His Messenger and the believers will see what you do, and you will be returned to (Allah) the Knowing of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do.” ```

The verse emphasizes that we must fill this life with good deeds and work for both worldly and spiritual interests. There is no reason to neglect both deeds because Allah SWT has granted us freedom. With that freedom, we have the utmost liberty to worship Allah SWT, as the purpose of Allah creating humans in this world is nothing other than for all of us to continually worship or serve Him.

The worship is very broad, allowing a person to worship for 24 hours a day. This is possible when we understand worship as everything that is loved and approved by Allah SWT, in the form of words, actions, and attitudes, both outward and inward. Allah SWT has opened the doors of goodness. The Prophet Muhammad SAW has explained to us the good deeds that can bring us closer to Allah. Has he not said in a hadith narrated by Al-Hakim:

"Friday congregation rahimakumullah, We should be grateful to Allah SWT for the blessing of independence that has been bestowed upon us as His grace. With this independence, we are free to go anywhere to worship, work, study, and live a safe and peaceful life. We can imagine how terrifying and difficult it is to live in a country ravaged by war. War, regardless of its background, such as wars against colonizers, civil wars, or conflicts between ethnic groups and factions, is surely very frightening."

"We are grateful to Allah SWT because with independence, security has more meaning within ourselves. We can enjoy various prosperity, development, and progress. We pray that Allah SWT continues to grant us this blessing and increases it. May we also be able to show our ever-growing love for this beloved religion and country. Allah SWT has emphasized in the Al-Qur’an, Surah Ibrahim, verse 7 as follows:"
