Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“guidance, hidayah from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, is in everything in your life. It's in your worship. It's in your wealth. It's in your status.”
“Guidance is also the balancer in your life. It's the thing that keeps you a balanced human. You're not extreme but you're also not too soft. You're in the middle.”
“There's no reason of reading it if you're not going to do what it says.”
“These are things that should motivate you to want to follow the guidance so you can be good in this worldly life and in the hereafter.”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Today we heard that hidayah, or guidance, is one of Allah’s greatest gifts. We ask for it in every rak’ah, and it should shape our worship, choices, work, emotions, and response to suffering. The Prophet’s example teaches balance: pray and rest, fast and eat, and live responsibly. We can seek guidance by reading the Quran, keeping our five daily prayers, acting on what we learn, and making dua for people facing oppression. The goal is a life guided toward Jannah and, above all, closeness to Allah.
