In one sentence

In response to Gaza's man-made famine, Muslims must reject helplessness, combine aid and collective pressure with sincere tawakkul and daily du'a, and recommit to justice for the oppressed.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens with a call to taqwa and describes the UN-backed famine emergency in Gaza.
  2. Argues that the catastrophe is man-made and asks Muslims what good they are doing.
  3. Calls for collective economic pressure, charitable aid, daily du'a, and reliance on Allah.
  4. Uses Ibrahim, Musa, and the Battle of the Trench to illustrate tawakkul amid overwhelming danger.
  5. Warns that love of worldly life and fear of death have weakened the Muslim community.
  6. Closes with calls for justice, supplication, qunut, and accountability before Allah.

For the dinner table

Dr Abdullah Wane spoke about hunger and suffering in Gaza, especially the hardship facing children and families. He urged listeners to respond with charitable giving and regular dua. Through stories of Ibrahim, Musa, and Prophet Muhammad, he encouraged trust in Allah even when circumstances feel overwhelming. He asked Allah to protect those suffering, heal the wounded, calm their fears, and use us to comfort them. He also reminded listeners that our responsibility to seek justice extends to people of every faith.

  1. What is one way our family could help people who need food and water?
  2. What would you like to ask Allah for on behalf of children in Gaza?
  3. How can we show care for someone whose faith is different from ours?
