Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“if your sincere intention in everything that you do in every word that comes out of your mouth is to please Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then you are fulfilling that purpose”
“amanah means a trust means a commitment means something that Allah God will ask you what did you do your time is amanah”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khutbah said that becoming a legend means living for Allah and making ordinary work part of worship. It urged us to represent prophetic values and build a legacy that benefits others. Our goal is Jannah, so we should pause before speaking or acting and choose what brings us closer to it. We should seize chances to pray, give, serve, and do good because opportunities may not return. Finally, our families, time, faith, and community are trusts from Allah, and we will be asked how we cared for them.
- What is one skill you could use to help someone else?
- What choice this week might bring you closer to Jannah?
- Which trust in your life deserves more care?
