London Muslim Mosque

“There is no pick and choose in faith, it's all one unit.”

The khateeb, at 1:25

In one sentence

True faith is an indivisible commitment to Allah and what He commands, so believers should avoid hostility or contempt toward any of Allah’s beloved servants, whom they may not recognize.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Explains Qur'an 2:98 as teaching that faith cannot be selectively accepted.
  2. Warns that rejecting a prophet, angel, or part of sharia contradicts belief in Allah.
  3. Connects this principle to a Hadith Qudsi warning against hostility toward Allah’s awliya.
  4. Explains that some of Allah’s beloved servants are hidden and may be overlooked.
  5. Urges treating every Muslim respectfully because contempt may harm oneself before Allah.

For the dinner table

The khutbah begins with Qur'an 2:98 and teaches that faith is a complete commitment to Allah, not something we can accept selectively. Believing in Allah also means accepting His messengers, angels, and commands. The speaker reminds us that some of Allah’s beloved servants may be hidden from us. Because we do not know who they are, we should treat every Muslim with respect and humility. Looking down on others can harm our own relationship with Allah.

  1. What does it mean to treat faith as one complete commitment?
  2. How can we show respect to someone whose importance we may not recognize?
  3. Why might looking down on someone hurt us spiritually?
