Science can deepen faith in Allah
“I'll study these sciences because they will strengthen my tawhid.”
Contemplating the ordered, understandable universe through both science and revelation should deepen a Muslim’s tawhid, iman, and commitment to beneficial knowledge.

In the khateeb's words
“This is a very deep statement, my brothers and sisters, because we sitting in this tiny Earth, we have discovered the laws of physics”
“I'll study these sciences because they will strengthen my tawhid give my iman new dimensions and every pursuit I'll see Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's hikmah, wisdom, His signs and His majesty.”
“the wisdom and the noor that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will give you will make you appreciate the Qur'an and the other ayat.”
For the dinner table
Today’s khutbah invited us to recognize Allah’s majesty by paying attention to His creation. The khateeb described a Muslim madrasa where students learned religious subjects alongside mathematics, astronomy, and other sciences. He encouraged us to reflect on the order of the universe and our ability to understand it as signs of Allah’s wisdom. He especially urged young people to approach their studies with an intention to strengthen their faith and appreciate Allah’s signs. He also reminded us that knowledge we share and places we help build can continue benefiting others after we are gone.

- How could something you studied this week help you appreciate Allah’s creation?
- What could we teach or share that would help another child?
