For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah explains the Prophet’s hadith about seven kinds of people whom Allah shades on the Day of Judgment. They include just people in authority, young people who worship Allah, people attached to the mosque, friends who love one another for Allah, those who resist temptation, people who give hidden charity, and those who remember Allah privately. The message is that sincerity matters, especially when good deeds are done away from applause. Parents are encouraged to help children pray, love Islam, choose good friends, learn, and stay connected to the mosque. As a family, we can choose one private act of worship and one practical way to strengthen our mosque and Muslim friendships this week.

  1. Which of the seven kinds of people would you most like to grow toward, and why?
  2. What is one small way our family could connect more with the masjid this week?
  3. What private good deed could you try without telling anyone?
