Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“But we don't condemn one person to being a deviant or misguided Or among the people of misguidance or anything of that”

Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The sermon reminds us that Rabi' al-Awwal is connected to many important events in the Prophet's life. We should use this month to grow in love for him, not to argue harshly over differences among scholars. We can build that love by sending salawat, learning about his life, and following his mercy and concern for others. Parents can share the seerah with their children and connect Quran learning with love and practice. The khutbah also calls us to care about suffering Muslims and protect unity in our communities.
- What is one thing you would like to learn about the Prophet's life?
- How can our family show love for the Prophet in our routine this week?
- What helps people disagree without becoming unkind?
