Listen to faith with intent to act
“The most important thing is that we listen.”
Muslims should follow the faith and example of the Companions by listening with the intention to act, strengthening worship and knowledge, and making the mosque serve dawah and the wider community.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Urges listeners to hear the khutbah attentively and intend to practice its guidance.

In the khateeb's words
“The most important thing is. That we listen the khutbah. It is a part of the Jummah. And with the niyata amal.”
“Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Is the one. That He created from nothing. Earth. Human being.”
“Before Ibadah. Ibadah. You can do Ibadah. If you don't have the knowledge. You Ibadah. You can make a mistake.”
For the dinner table
Today the khateeb reminded us to listen to the khutbah with the intention of putting its lessons into practice. He encouraged us to look to the Prophet’s companions as role models for faith and care for one another. He described remembering and thanking Allah throughout ordinary moments, including meals. He also stressed that people who embrace Islam need continued help learning how to pray and worship. He called for our masjids to be places of inviting people to Islam, teaching and learning, worship, and service to the community.
- What is one lesson from today that you would like to practice this week?
- What could you thank Allah for at dinner tonight?
- How could we help someone who is new to our masjid feel welcome and included?
