General remindersFrom the masjid's own video, May 30, 2026.
Treat time as a trust before it runs out
“In the morning, I will respond to these messages.”
In one sentence
Time is a rapidly vanishing trust, so Muslims should value it through worship, disciplined habits, purposeful goals, and avoiding distractions.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Uses Imam Razi’s melting-ice story to frame time as a rapidly vanishing asset.
- Links modern technology and excessive screen use to wasted time and lost barakah.
- Urges early mornings, Fajr, disciplined messaging, and resistance to laziness.
- Recommends small physical, intellectual, and spiritual goals with organized priorities.
- Calls listeners to leave unhelpful gatherings and closes with concern for Gaza and Palestine.
Try this week
Wake before Fajr, guard Fajr prayer, and make mornings productive.
Set specific times to answer messages; reduce screen and social-media use.
Defeat laziness and procrastination through discipline.
Set small physical, intellectual, and spiritual goals, such as exercise, learning, or two rak'ahs of tahajjud.
Organize priorities into primary and secondary tasks.
Leave gatherings or online groups that do not help your dunya or akhira, and avoid useless arguments.
