Use your time for faith and service

ICSD · Abdeljalil Mezgouri

“Time is not money; time is your life.”

The khateeb, at 3:37

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

True success comes from using one's limited time for faith, righteous deeds, truthful counsel, patience, and service to humanity rather than worldly status or accumulation.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. The khutbah begins by emphasizing silence and attentiveness during the Friday sermon.
  2. The speaker contrasts investing effort in sports, money, and status with preparing for eternal life through Al-Kawthar.
  3. He urges listeners to serve people beyond the mosque through their talents, professions, wealth, da'wah, mercy, and charity.
  4. The khutbah applies the message to family life, children's vacation time, maintaining kinship, and intentional use of every day.
  5. The speaker explains the three levels of the self and closes with prayers for patience, mercy, guidance, and relief for those suffering.

For the dinner table

The khateeb said that time is our life, so real success is not measured by status, money, or popularity but by faith, righteous deeds, truthful counsel, and patience. He urged us to carry goodness beyond the mosque by using our talents, work, and wealth to serve all people, give charity, and invite others with mercy. He reminded families to plan their children's time well, keep family ties, and turn visits and everyday responsibilities into worship. He closed by asking Allah to make us people of mercy, patience, service, and beneficial change.

  1. What is one thing you can do this week that turns your time into worship?
  2. How can our family show mercy and service outside the mosque?
  3. What talent or skill could you use to help someone else?
