Why humanity needs Allah's guidance
“We need the peace of mind and the tranquility.”
Humanity needs Islam because Allah created people with a purpose, to worship and serve Him, and Islam provides guidance for moral conduct, life's fundamental questions, hardship, and the afterlife.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Humans were created with purpose and will be accountable to Allah, not created pointlessly.
- Allah's revelation is the reliable standard for knowing what benefits or harms people.
- Islam answers where humans came from, why they exist, and what follows death.
- Modern moral confusion and suffering, including Gaza, demonstrate humanity's need for divine guidance.
- Faith gives believers patience, reliance on Allah, tranquility, and a meaningful framework for hardship.
- The sermon concludes with an Islamic-school registration announcement and prayer.
In the khateeb's words
“We have a mission. We have a job. And the other thing, ladies and gentlemen, is worship Allah.”
“we need Allah we need the peace of mind and the tranquility and Sakina in our life no one can get it without having a deen a belief something to rely on”
“The human being becomes dysfunctional, becomes something else. It can be so wild if there is no aqidah, no faith, no iman, no deen to follow.”
For the dinner table
The khateeb taught that Allah created people with a purpose, not without meaning: we are meant to worship Him, serve Him, and live responsibly. Islam gives guidance about what helps or harms us and answers where we came from, why we are here, and what happens after death. Faith also helps people face suffering with patience, trust, and hope for Allah's reward. The sermon pointed to moral confusion and suffering in the world as reminders that humanity needs divine guidance. It encouraged families to strengthen their connection to Islam and reminded them about registering children for weekend Islamic school.

- How can trusting Allah help someone during a difficult time?
- What good choice can you make when nobody is watching?
