Taqwa means acting now and staying united
“Do not judge people because this is not your job and not my job.”
The khutbah teaches that taqwa is shown through immediate good deeds, family-centered worship, and refusing division while holding firmly to Islam, the Qur'an, and Sunnah.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Calls believers to taqwa, unity, and remembrance of Allah's blessings through Surah Aal Imran.
- Encourages repentance, immediate good deeds, and avoiding delay.
- Applies unity through family worship, shared meals, congregational prayer, and generosity.
- Warns against individualism, sectarian labels, and judging others.
- Summarizes daily practices and closes with prayers for forgiveness, guidance, and protection.
In the khateeb's words
“you have no guarantee to stay until next minute or next hour or next day nobody has guarantee”
“start from yourself and your family and your children and your wife and the people who are around you and try to make something good with your family”
“your family will go back your wealth will go back your deeds will stay with you in your grave”
“do not judge people because this is not your job and not my job”
For the dinner table
This khutbah calls us to keep Allah in mind wherever we are, especially when no one is watching. When we make mistakes, we should repent and quickly follow them with good deeds instead of postponing them. The speaker encourages families to worship together through a daily ayah or hadith, shared meals, and congregational prayer. He also asks us to hold together as one Muslim community, avoid labels and judgments, and remember that deeds, not family or wealth, stay with us. The overall message is to build love, humility, and unity through small faithful actions.
- What is one good deed we can do today instead of waiting?
- How can our family spend five minutes remembering Allah together?
- What helps people feel included rather than judged in our community?
