“Islam is not only one day. Every Friday. Or Eid al-Fitr, or Eid al-Adha, or Ramadan. No. Islam is every moment that you live with your parents, your spouse, your children, neighbors, even nature.”

For the dinner table

The khutbah presents the Hijrah and the Prophet’s perseverance as lessons in holding firmly to Allah’s oneness. It reminds us that faith can be difficult, especially when temptations and social media surround us, so we should keep learning the Qur’an and Sunnah and raise our children with strong faith. We may enjoy halal blessings, but worldly life should serve our journey to the Hereafter rather than become our purpose. Islam should shape every day, our worship, family life, treatment of neighbors, and care for creation, not only Jumu'ah.

  1. What is one blessing we can use to help someone else?
  2. How can we show Islam through the way we treat our family or neighbors?
  3. What helps you remember Allah when using your phone?
