Faith means showing mercy to all

Al Huda Institute

“If you have Iman, you have Rahmah.”

The khateeb, at 2:03

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

Because Allah, His Messenger, and the Qur'an embody mercy, genuine faith requires believers to show rahmah toward people, animals, and all creation by noticing suffering and helping relieve it.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Rahmah is defined as feeling another's pain and trying to relieve it, making mercy a sign of iman.
  2. Prophetic examples demonstrate mercy toward family, newcomers, birds, animals, the poor, and parents.
  3. The one-body metaphor extends believers' responsibility to Muslims suffering in Gaza and to anyone in distress.
  4. The Urdu section contrasts mercy with hard-heartedness and links compassion with prophetic character.
  5. The khutbah closes with prayers for forgiveness, healing, protection, and oppressed Muslims.

For the dinner table

The khutbah taught that mercy is a core sign of faith, not just a feeling reserved for close friends. Because Allah, the Prophet Muhammad, and the Qur'an are described through mercy, believers should notice suffering and try to ease it. This includes spouses, children, parents, relatives, poor people, Muslims suffering in Gaza, and even animals. The sermon encouraged us to pause instead of walking past someone in need, offer practical help, and make sincere du'a for those who are suffering. Showing mercy to creation is presented as a path to receiving Allah's mercy.
