Remember Allah through morning and evening
“When you remember Allah, when the majority of people don't remember Him, you stand out.”
Allah’s generosity is shown through the angels’ protection, recording, and prayers for us, so we should fill our mornings and evenings with sincere remembrance and worship.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Opens with praise, testimony, and framing Allah’s blessings and humanity’s response.
- Explains angels’ roles in displaying divine power, comforting people, protecting them, and recording deeds.
- Describes mercy in delaying sin-recording, multiplying good deeds, and protecting people by Allah’s decree.
- Calls listeners to pursue sincere, moderate, regular worship and consider what angels report about their day.
- Prays for people facing killing and illness, then announces a community meeting and a children’s Quran program.
In the khateeb's words
“when you remember Allah, when the majority of people don't remember Him, you stand out.”
“Be sincere and moderate. "And do your best and aim for perfection, but be moderate."”
“we cannot be a Muslim unless we believe in the creation of Allah's angels.”
For the dinner table
Today’s khutbah invited us to notice Allah’s blessings and generosity, especially His mercy through the angels. The khateeb described angels protecting us by Allah’s will, recording our deeds, and praying for our forgiveness. He encouraged us to think about how we spend our mornings and evenings, making time for prayer and remembering Allah even when family life gets busy. He reminded us to do good sincerely and steadily, following a moderate path we can keep up. He also urged us to continue praying for people facing suffering and illness.
