Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that Allah is our Lord, hears every voice, and is never diminished by the needs of creation. He used the stories of Musa, Sulayman and the ant, the woman heard by the Prophet, and other prophets to show Allah’s power and care. Our life in this world is a test and a path toward Jannah, so we should stay firm on the straight path. He also urged Muslims in Canada to raise their voices and do what they can regarding al-Masjid al-Aqsa while turning to Allah in dua.
