Prepare righteous deeds before death
Believers should use Jumu'ah, prayer, Quran, repentance, patience, and remembrance of death to reform their conduct and prepare for Allah's judgment while trusting His mercy.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Recites Quranic passages warning about hypocrisy, death, resurrection, and prioritizing Friday worship over commerce.
- Uses Du'a Arafah to reflect on supplication, dependence on Allah, and divine wisdom.
- Urges timely prayer, thoughtful Quran engagement, gratitude, and continual self-improvement.
- Reminds listeners of mortality, accountability, noble character, and preparing righteous deeds before death.
- Calls for sincere repentance, hope in Allah's forgiveness, patience through hardship, and abundant salawat.
- Concludes with communal prayers for relief, health, the poor, believers, and the Imam of the Age.
In the khateeb's words
“that's meaning you're thinking not just listening thinking about same time”
“we wish from Allah to make a patient a sabre we need it”
“like a new page they make you a new page and you have to follow the new page”
For the dinner table
Today's khutbah reminded us that Jumu'ah is a chance to remember Allah and reorder our lives around Him. We were encouraged to pray on time, read or listen to the Quran thoughtfully, and let it improve our actions. The speaker also urged sincere repentance, teaching that Allah's mercy can give a person a fresh start. Because life ends and every deed matters, we should build patience, noble character, and good deeds now. We can carry this message into the week by remembering Allah often, sending blessings on the Prophet and his family, and helping one another through hardship.
- What does it mean to listen to the Quran with your mind and heart?
- What is one prayer or worship habit you want to strengthen this week?
- How can we show patience when something difficult happens?
- What would a fresh start after repentance look like in our family?
