Shape your home around Islamic values
“Our life, lifestyle, must come from Islam, from Deen, from Qur'an and from Sunnah.”
In one sentence
Muslim families should shape their homes, customs, and family practices around Islamic values to preserve their identity, especially among children and youth.
The khutbah in 4 steps
- Defines Islam as shaping manners, actions, relationships, and lifestyle.
- Urges Muslims to design homes around privacy, worship, hospitality, and Islamic values.
- Warns that repeated Halloween and other non-Islamic holiday practices can normalize them for children.
- Invites youth to register for a November 21 gathering and announces other Masjid programs.

Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“Please build it in Islamic design. And we want to spread these words and we have multiple people that they have this kind of houses so we leave these nice houses to the next generation.”
“No, it is a big deal. Why? Because simple matters, when it's being repeated time after time, year after year, it builds the inside belief and faith.”
“So, we don't say it's haram or halal, but you're losing your identity, Islamic identity.”
“Our tradition is Qur'an. Our tradition is Islam. And our life, lifestyle, must come from Islam, from Deen, from Qur'an and from Sunnah.”
