For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah reminded us that loving Allah and His Messenger should shape how we live and whose example we follow. The khateeb shared stories of the companions’ deep love for the Prophet, while recognizing that love for family and sadness at losing someone are real. He also spoke about the Prophet’s care for his community and his choice of intercession on the Day of Judgment. We were encouraged to ask Allah sincerely for forgiveness and work to leave our mistakes behind. Together, we can keep hope in Allah’s mercy, take responsibility for our choices, and make time to understand what we learn and visit the mosque.

  1. When you make a mistake, what helps you try a different choice next time?
  2. What is one thing from today’s khutbah you would like our family to put into practice?
