For the dinner table

The khutbah reminded us that the Prophet Muhammad cared deeply about every member of his ummah and would seek mercy for them. Because he sacrificed and cared for us, we should try to live in a way that honors him. The speaker said that loving the Prophet requires learning about his character and life through his shama’il and seerah. We can show that love by practicing his sunnah and treating people with mercy. The khutbah ended with prayers for forgiveness, Paradise, and relief for oppressed Muslims.
