Good deeds can erase sins, but injustice destroys them

As-Habul Yameen · Abdul Aziz

“He took the right of that one.”

The khateeb, at 35:10

In one sentence

Believers should use the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah to multiply good deeds, repent, and protect others’ rights because good deeds can erase sins while injustice, shirk, and persistent sins can nullify them.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Urges listeners to maximize good deeds during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.
  2. Explains that good deeds outweigh and erase sins through repentance, ablution, prayer, and the five daily prayers.
  3. Encourages daily istighfar, sincere repentance, and maintaining a hidden store of charitable deeds.
  4. Warns that harming people can make someone spiritually bankrupt when victims receive their good deeds on Judgment Day.
  5. Warns against shirk, major sins, and accumulated minor sins that can destroy good deeds.
  6. Reminds listeners to fast on Arafah, attend Eid prayer, and arrange the udhiyah if able.

For the dinner table

The khutbah said that the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are a golden chance to fill our scale with good deeds. Prayer, repentance, istighfar, fasting Arafah, kindness, and quiet charity can cleanse the heart and help erase sins. We should protect people’s rights, because insulting or harming others can leave us spiritually bankrupt on the Day of Judgment. The speaker warned against shirk, major sins, and letting minor sins pile up. This week, each family member can choose one easy good deed and keep it private and consistent.

  1. What good deed would you like to practice during these ten days?
  2. How can we help someone quietly without seeking attention?
  3. What does it mean to protect another person’s rights?
