In one sentence

The khutbah argues that Surah Hud 11:123 teaches pure tawhid and tawakkul: because Allah alone knows and controls the unseen, believers should worship Him, take responsible means, and remain content with His decree.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Introduces Surah Hud 11:123: Allah knows the unseen, all affairs return to Him, and believers should worship and rely on Him.
  2. Explains tawhid and tawakkul as sources of contentment, courage, and stability.
  3. Illustrates reliance through Gaza and examples involving Abu Bakr, Khalid ibn al-Walid, Saeed ibn Jubayr, Hasan al-Basri, and Umar al-Mukhtar.
  4. Applies the principle to family provision and warns against amulets, astrology, and other forms of shirk.
  5. Shows through Musa and Maryam that tawakkul includes taking practical means.
  6. Concludes by urging deeper knowledge of Allah, sincere effort, and acceptance of His outcomes.

For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah focused on the final ayah of Surah Hud, which reminds us that Allah alone knows the unseen and that every affair returns to Him. Because of that, we should worship Allah, rely on Him, and not let fear of people or worldly losses make us compromise our faith. The khateeb illustrated this with companions and scholars, a widowed mother who trusted Allah to provide, and believers facing severe hardship. Tawakkul does not mean sitting still: Musa struck the sea and Maryam shook the tree, showing that we take available means while trusting Allah with the result. At home, we can strengthen this trust by learning about Allah, avoiding charms and astrology, saying the leaving-home supplication, and accepting that His wisdom may differ from our wishes.

  3. Which worry would you like to hand over to Allah this week?
