For the dinner table

True happiness, the khutbah taught, is not just getting what we want; it grows from being pleased with Allah and grateful for Islam, the Qur’an, and the Prophet’s guidance. Worship, remembrance, hope, and trust in Allah can steady the heart during hardship. We should show that faith by being humble, merciful, generous, and helpful to people in need. The speaker encouraged us to study the Prophet’s Sunnah, avoid excess, and keep expecting good from Allah. As a family, we can build this happiness by reading Qur’an with understanding, remembering Allah, and serving others.
