Love the Prophet by following his Sunnah
“It should be throughout the year and throughout our lives.”
The khutbah in 5 steps
- The Quran and sayings of early scholars connect love of Allah, the Quran, the Prophet, the Sunnah, and the Hereafter.
- Stories from Uhud portray Sa'd ibn Rabi' and Hindah Ansariya placing concern for the Prophet above wealth, family loss, and personal trauma.
- Rabi's request for companionship in Paradise teaches that dua should be paired with extra sujood and personal effort.
- The hadith about being with whom one loves, the warning that love does not excuse major sins, and Umar's example show that love should transform obedience.
- The khutbah closes by urging Muslims to register and vote so the community has a voice.
