Because every person will return to Allah and face a recorded account of their deeds, Muslims should hold to the Qur'an and Sunnah, honor the Prophet, care for the community, and pray for peace.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Reflects on burial, earthly origin, and resurrection.
  2. Warns that every deed is recorded and each person will face Allah individually.
  3. Encourages holding to the Qur'an and Sunnah and honoring Prophet Muhammad.
  4. Describes hope in the Prophet's concern for his ummah on Judgment Day.
  5. Makes du'a for sick community members and their families.
  6. Prays for peace worldwide, especially for Palestinians, and for steadfastness upon the shahadah.

For the dinner table

The khutbah reminds us that every person comes from the earth, returns to it, and will be raised again to meet Allah. Our deeds, small and large, are recorded, so we should hold tightly to the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. The speaker also encourages love and respect for the Prophet and hope in his concern for his ummah on the Day of Judgment. He asks the community to make du'a for people who are ill and to pray for peace around the world, especially for Palestinians. We can carry this reminder by living as Muslims, caring for one another, and keeping the shahadah close.
