Prayer & worshipFrom the masjid's own video, Feb 28, 2026.
Islam must shape how we live
“İslam'ın bir şey olduğunu yapmanız lazım.”
In one sentence
The khutbah teaches that following Ibrahim’s upright path means living tawhid through reflective worship, prophetic character, and everyday obedience rather than treating Islam as a label or performance.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Explains millah and hanif as a natural path toward recognizing Allah alone.
- Connects faith with righteous deeds, prayer, zakat, and social conduct.
- Presents the Sunnah as the Prophet’s lived example and inner spirit.
- Contrasts tawhid with material and ideological centers of power.
- Calls listeners to Ramadan reflection, self-correction, and return to the straight path.
Try this week
Reflect during daily prayer instead of treating it as only a set of motions.
Pair faith with righteous deeds, generosity, prayer, and zakat.
Study the Qur’an and the Prophet’s Sunnah for guidance in daily decisions.
When facing dilemmas, practice openness, trustworthiness, patience, and reliance on Allah.
Use Ramadan to self-correct and return to the straight path.
