The Sunnah explains how to follow Quran

ICG

“Al-Sunnah is the practice of Al-Quran Al-Kareem.”

In one sentence

The khutbah argues that Muslims must follow the Sunnah alongside the Qur'an, verify religious teachings carefully, and rely on authenticated hadith to understand and practice Islam.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens with praise, shahada, taqwa, and a warning against religious innovations.
  2. Frames Satan's ongoing effort to mislead humanity, including people who appear scholarly.
  3. Identifies Qur'an-only rejection of the Sunnah and cautions against unverified social-media teachers.
  4. Uses Qur'anic commands to establish obedience to Allah and His Messenger and presents the Sunnah as explanatory revelation.
  5. Defends hadith preservation through narrator-chain verification and cites major hadith collections.
  6. Concludes that the Sunnah is necessary for prayer, fasting, and Hajj, then calls listeners to reflect and follow it.

“Al-Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah, he was a great scholar. He did not write the hadith itself. He did not add or delete or edit anything to the statement of the Prophet or to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW.”

For the dinner table

The khutbah taught that Muslims should follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah together. The Sunnah helps explain the Qur'an and shows us how to practice worship, including prayer, fasting, and Hajj. We should not accept every religious claim online just because someone looks learned; we should verify sources and build basic knowledge. The sermon also explained that scholars carefully examined chains of narrators when preserving hadith. As a family, we can choose one reliable source to study and discuss how prophetic guidance applies in daily life.

  1. How can we tell whether a religious video online is trustworthy?
  2. What is one part of prayer or worship we learned from the Prophet's example?
  3. Why do you think scholars checked who narrated each hadith?
