Preserve faith through prayer and Quran
“Allah hates every arrogant, loud, greedy, boastful person who argues in the market, sleeps like a corpse at night, works like a donkey during the day.”
The khutbah teaches that genuine guidance requires faith in the unseen, consistent prayer, humility, and reading the Quran with understanding so faith can be preserved.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- The Quran is presented as a doubt-free book whose stories, beliefs, and rules provide absolute guidance.
- The righteous are defined by belief in the unseen and the six pillars of iman.
- Salah is described as worship, affirmation of Allah’s sovereignty, and repeated cleansing from sins.
- A prophetic warning contrasts humble believers with arrogant people consumed by argument and worldly labor.
- Examples of Pharaoh and the ruler challenged by Ibrahim illustrate that rejection follows chosen arrogance, not lack of guidance.
- Listeners are urged to understand the Quran, preserve their faith, protect their children, and pray for oppressed Muslims.
In the khateeb's words
“We believe in Allah. in the angels, in the prophets. the books The messengers, the prophets and the books and the judgment day and the destiny, both good and bad.”
“Allah hates every arrogant, loud, greedy, boastful person who argues in the market, sleeps like a corpse at night, works like a donkey during the day.”
“So that's not because Allah SWT didn't want to guide them. He sent the prophets, He sent the signs, He gave them the choice, but they believe, they choose not to believe.”
“Reading the Quran without knowing what does it mean? It will give you the benefit of the world.”
For the dinner table
The khutbah reminds us that the Quran is guidance for people who believe in what cannot be seen and trust Allah. Faith includes belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and destiny. Prayer keeps returning us to Allah and cleanses us from sins. Arrogance can close a person’s heart even when guidance is available. We should read the Quran with understanding, protect our faith and our children, and pray for Muslims facing hardship.
