Death & the hereafterFrom the masjid's own video, Mar 27, 2026.
Allah will question how we live
“Nothing is hidden from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.”
In one sentence
Because Allah records and will question every action, intention, use of time, relationship, and blessing, believers should live deliberately in worship, accountability, and service.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Allah records everything, and people will be questioned about their complete life on Judgment Day.
- Prayer is the first major accountability and should transform conduct rather than merely be completed.
- Time, phone use, Quran engagement, and marital promises reveal personal priorities.
- Health, wealth, housing, food, and other blessings must be used responsibly.
- Believers should cultivate a life centered on the masjid, Quran, Sunnah, forgiveness, love, and service.

Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“Nothing, nothing is hidden from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The day of judgment is the day of questioning.”
“Because the prayer itself is not the goal, but the prayer is the means.”
“It is not because I did not have time. It is because I gave my priority to something else.”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that Allah knows and records every part of our lives, including our words, intentions, time, and choices. Prayer is not something to rush through; it should help keep us away from wrongdoing. We should make room for the masjid and Quran, continue reading and applying the Quran after Ramadan, honor our promises and marriages, and use our blessings well. A good life is one shaped by worship, forgiveness, love, and being there for others.
- What is one way prayer can change how we behave during the day?
- Where does our family spend time that could be better prioritized?
- How can we be more present for someone else this week?
