Use every blessing in obedience

Al Huda Institute

“Never ever get bored with these blessings.”

The khateeb, at 10:55

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

Because every blessing, from health and time to family and authority, comes from Allah and will be accounted for, believers should recognize, thank, and use those blessings in obedience rather than grow bored with them.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Defines blessings as gifts from Allah that believers must recognize and protect through dua.
  2. Warns that health and free time are commonly wasted and will be questioned on Judgment Day.
  3. Uses Bani Israel and the people of Saba as examples of ingratitude toward abundant provision.
  4. Urges gratitude through worship, family care, service, and saying Alhamdulillah.
  5. Applies the warning to boredom with spouses, homes, work, status, and other blessings before closing with supplication and prayer.

Talk about it at home

For the dinner table

Allah gives us blessings such as health, time, family, work, homes, and food. The sermon reminds us that these gifts are not guaranteed, and we will be asked how we recognized and used them. Boredom and constant complaint can hide ingratitude, as shown by the examples of Bani Israel and the people of Saba. We can practice gratitude by saying Alhamdulillah, caring for family, using free time in worship and service, and directing our abilities toward what pleases Allah. Even small blessings deserve thanks.

  1. What blessing did you notice today that you usually take for granted?
  2. How could you use some of your free time this week to help someone?
  3. When do you usually remember to say Alhamdulillah?
