For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah was about tawakkul: trusting Allah while doing our best with the abilities and resources He has given us. The khateeb explained that both our goals and the ways we pursue them should be good and permissible. He gave everyday examples such as studying carefully for an exam and seeking treatment when we are sick. He also described how the Prophet planned carefully for the Hijrah while placing his trust in Allah. We can practice this together by making thoughtful plans, working hard, asking Allah for help, and leaving the results to Him.

  1. What is something you’re worried about, and what useful step could you take while asking Allah for help?
  2. How would you explain the difference between trusting Allah and simply waiting for something to happen?
  3. What could remind our family to make dua even when we feel well prepared?
