“Your family will let you down once in a while. You will have arguments with your spouse once in a while. Your children will upset you once in a while.”

For the dinner table
Today’s khutbah focused on Surah al-Duha, a surah revealed to comfort the Prophet Muhammad during a pause in revelation. Its message is that Allah does not abandon His servants, even when life feels quiet, painful, or uncertain. The Hereafter is better than this world, and Allah can replace earlier hardship with future good, even when we do not see the reward immediately. We can remember the ways Allah has cared for us, read a verse of Quran, and reflect on it tonight. The khutbah also shared reminders about community programs, voting, Eid prayer times, and youth activities.
