For the dinner table

Today's khutbah reminded us that the Prophet Muhammad's birth and mission are blessings from Allah. We honor him by learning his life, loving his example, and following the Qur'an and Sunnah together. Parents were urged to teach children the Prophet's history and to be careful about who teaches them, especially online. The Prophet's humility and closeness to ordinary people make his example meaningful for every family. We were also encouraged to send blessings upon him often.
