The khutbah presents Qur'anic tawhid as the answer to Christian Trinitarian belief about Jesus and argues that Qur'anic hijab, beginning with modesty of the gaze for both sexes and extending to dress, helps build a modest society.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Honors Isa's blessed birth and Maryam's dignity in the Qur'an.
  2. Contrasts Christian Trinitarian belief with Surah al-Ikhlas and explains Allah's oneness and self-sufficiency.
  3. Explains modesty as a social purpose rather than an imposition on women.
  4. Introduces hijab through Qur'an 24:30-31, beginning with lowering the gaze for men and women.
  5. Distinguishes Qur'anic modesty from regional variations in burqa color and style.
  6. Explains khimar and khamr terminology before closing with a prayer for Islamic guidance.

For the dinner table

The khutbah honors Isa, or Jesus, as a blessed prophet and highlights Maryam's dignity in the Qur'an. It then uses Surah al-Ikhlas to teach that Allah is completely one, self-sufficient, and neither born nor begetting. On hijab, the speaker says modesty begins with both men and women lowering their gaze and includes guarding private parts and dressing without displaying adornment. He distinguishes the Qur'anic principle from regional colors and styles, and says the goal is a modest society while asking Allah for guidance.

  2. How can we respect people of other faiths while remaining clear about our own beliefs?
