For the dinner table
This khutbah reminds us that every person will return to Allah and receive a record of what they did. Because of that future accountability, the speaker urges young and old to hold on to the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. He also encourages love and respect for the Prophet through salawat and hope for being with him in Jannah. The khutbah closes by asking Allah to heal the sick, protect families, unite believers, and bring peace to Palestine and the wider world.
