Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“The prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained that a believer, his faith is not complete unless he loves for his fellow brother what he loves for himself.”
“Islam wants us to be one nation. Under one banner. With no dividing us.”
“Unity is our strength. Knowing each other in ease and in hardship is our strength.”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khutbah teaches that the Prophet built the Muslim community in Madinah around the mosque and strong brotherhood. A believer's faith is incomplete unless they want good for fellow Muslims as they want it for themselves. Islam rejects racism and divisions based on ethnicity, color, or personal desires. We should know, help, and support one another in good times and difficult times. Our mosque and families can become stronger when we stay connected to faith and care for each other.
