For the dinner table

The khutbah reminds us that one day every person will stand before Allah and see the record of their actions. It urges us not to wait for regret, but to repent, strengthen our faith, and protect our prayers while we still have time. Our friends matter because good companionship can guide us toward Jannah, while harmful friendships can pull us away from the Quran and Sunnah. We are encouraged to speak truth, establish justice, and avoid harming others. The sermon closes by asking Allah for mercy, guidance, protection, and relief for suffering people.
