The Hijrah was a divinely guided strategic turning point that teaches Muslims to renew intentions, change failing methods, honor trusts, serve others humbly, and rely on Allah’s protection.

For the dinner table

The khutbah presents the Hijrah as a turning point, not a retreat from difficulty. It teaches that when a strategy is no longer working, faithful people may need to change course while keeping their intentions sincere. The stories of Ali returning entrusted belongings, the Prophet serving others before himself, and Suraqah being turned from pursuer to believer show trustworthiness, humility, and reliance on Allah. We can carry these lessons into family life by renewing our intentions, returning what belongs to others, serving before seeking comfort, and planning with tawakkul. The Hijrah invites us to make thoughtful changes that help faith and goodness grow.

  1. What is one plan you would change if it is not helping you do good?
  2. How can we show trustworthiness with something someone lends us?
  3. What is one way to put another person’s needs before our own this week?
