This khutbah teaches that loving Prophet Muhammad means more than saying we love him. We should learn his seerah, send blessings upon him, and imitate his mercy in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and treatment of children and workers. Rabi al-Awwal can remind us to turn admiration into daily habits and teach our children the Prophet’s life alongside the Quran throughout the year. The speaker closes by asking Allah to strengthen Muslims, protect families, and bring relief and mercy.
