For the dinner table

The khutbah centers on tawhid: believing that Allah alone is worthy of worship. It teaches that knowing Allah is one of the greatest blessings in this life, and that this knowledge should grow into love and closeness. When life becomes busy or difficult, we should return to this central purpose and renew our faith. The sermon ends by asking Allah to let us live and die upon Islam and the testimony of faith.
