Worship should shape every part of life
“We need to spare some time maybe a two and a half or three hours a day to learn deen.”
Muslims should make worship a constant way of life, preserve their Islamic identity by learning and teaching the deen, and follow the Prophet and his Companions as guides.

The khutbah reminds us that worship is not limited to a few prayers or one month of fasting; it should shape our whole day. We are encouraged to fast the Day of Arafah and seek Allah’s forgiveness and guidance. The speaker urges adults to learn Islam and pass it on to their children so they keep a strong Muslim identity. He teaches that the Prophet and his Companions should be our role models. The family can respond by studying together, practicing the Sunnah, and helping one another do what is good.
