Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Today’s khutbah taught that Prophet Muhammad was sent as a mercy for all creation, not for one people or place. The khateeb used Quranic examples about the births of Yahya and Isa to explain why the Prophet’s birth should be remembered with gratitude. He encouraged families to mark the month through salawat, prayer, following the Sunnah, charity, and teaching children about the Prophet. He also invited the congregation to Madina Masjid’s Monday evening program and asked everyone to keep the Prophet’s example alive in family life.
