In one sentence

Recognizing ourselves as Allah's dependent servants should lead us to reject injustice, repair wrongs, repent, and seek His guidance and mercy.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Introduces a Hadith Qudsi addressing believers as Allah's servants and presents servanthood as the highest human honor.
  2. Explains that Allah never commits injustice and never wrongs His creation.
  3. Defines injustice as placing something in the wrong place and categorizes it against Allah, others, or oneself.
  4. Continues the Hadith Qudsi by emphasizing human dependence on Allah for guidance, food, clothing, and provision.
  5. Emphasizes universal sinfulness, repentance, forgiveness, and Allah's mercy as the basis for entering Jannah.
  6. Concludes with supplications, a call to justice and goodness, and announcements about the youth program and graveyard project.

For the dinner table

Today's khutbah reminded us that the greatest honor is to be servants of Allah. Allah is never unjust, and He commands us not to wrong other people; if we have harmed someone, we should ask forgiveness and make things right now. We all depend on Allah for guidance, food, clothing, and every blessing, and we all make mistakes. The way back is to repent and ask Allah for forgiveness, remembering that entering Jannah is ultimately through His mercy. The khutbah closed with prayers for the community and reminders about the youth program and graveyard project.

  1. What is one way we can make things right if we have hurt someone?
  2. What blessing do we want to thank Allah for today?
  3. What would sincere repentance look like this week?
