For the dinner table

The khutbah centered on Surah Qaf and its reminders about death, resurrection, accountability, Hell, and Paradise. These reminders are meant to wake the heart and bring us back to Allah. The speaker explained that the Prophet used Surah Qaf in the Friday khutbah and encouraged us to learn its meaning and memorize it. As a family, we can recite it, reflect on its message, and turn to it when we feel spiritually distant.
