Follow the Prophet and send salawat
“We should recite some darud and salat on Nabi sallallahu alayhi every day.”
In one sentence
Muslims should honor Prophet Muhammad as the greatest benefactor by believing in him, following his Sunnah, and sending salawat in the manner he taught.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Establishes Prophet Muhammad’s highest status and role as humanity’s greatest benefactor.
- Explains that Islam, iman, and the Quran are the greatest divine bounties received through him.
- Identifies belief in Muhammad as the final prophet and obedience to him as essential obligations.
- Explains salawat, its meaning, and its reported rewards, especially on Friday.
- Recommends daily salawat and placing it before and after personal supplication.
- Warns against turning devotional praise into entertainment and calls for Prophetic practice.
