Love for the Prophet requires action
“You need to show the action.”
Love for the Prophet Muhammad must be proven through sincere belief, following his Sunnah, embodying his example, and modeling it for our families.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Recites the closing verses of Surah At-Tawbah describing the Prophet’s compassion and concern for believers.
- Explains the Prophet’s longing to meet later believers and his concern for their welfare.
- Argues that love must move from words and feelings into concrete action and following the Sunnah.
- Urges listeners to learn from scholars and choose prophetic role models for themselves and their families.
- Uses children copying visible prayer as an example, then closes with supplications for the community and Gaza.
In the khateeb's words
“he cares about your dunya and your akhira he cares about your children he cares about your business he cares about your future”
“Then now you need to show the action. Because the action either it will make your heart and tongue correct or it will deny what you said by your tongue and your heart.”
“they will never listen to you unless they see you in front of their eyes that you are praying even if they are two three years old”
For the dinner table
The khutbah teaches that the Prophet Muhammad cared deeply about believers and wanted to meet those who would believe in him after his companions. It says that loving him is more than saying the right words: love should appear in our choices and in following his Sunnah. The speaker urges parents and elders to let children see prayer and good conduct, because children often copy what they watch. He also encourages families to learn from trustworthy scholars and become examples of good practice. The khutbah closes with prayers for steadfast faith, the sick and deceased, prisoners, Muslims everywhere, and people in Gaza.
- What do younger children learn by watching our prayers and behavior?
- Who helps us understand the Prophet’s example today?
