Qur'an & tafsirFrom the masjid's own video, Dec 5, 2025.
The Quran must guide every part of life
“Qur'an is that system that Allah has created for insan.”
In one sentence
Muslims must understand and implement the Qur'an as Allah's guidance for every part of life, changing their conduct accordingly to receive guidance and mercy.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Presents the Qur'an as Allah's guidance system whose commands must be followed.
- Uses a GPS bought in an unknown language to explain failing to understand Qur'anic guidance.
- Calls listeners to understand and implement Allah's commands by changing conduct, speech, and relationships.
- Contrasts guidance's promised mercy, forgiveness, and happiness with loss for arrogant neglect.
- Closes with prayers for help, healing, deceased believers, protection of faith, and love of Allah and His Messenger.

Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“So, Qur'an is that system that Allah has created for insan. You have to follow this. If you like it or not, you have to follow it.”
“Then the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "This individual will receive the mercy of Allah, the guidance of Allah, the forgiveness of Allah, and life will become happiness for him in this life and in the life of your after."”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The speaker describes the Qur'an as Allah's guidance system for our lives. Like a GPS in a language we do not understand, the Qur'an cannot guide us fully unless we learn its meaning and follow it. We should change our behavior, speech, and treatment of others when they conflict with Allah's commands. The khutbah reminds us that following the Qur'an brings guidance, mercy, forgiveness, and happiness, and it closes with prayers for families, the sick, and those who have passed away.
- What behavior or words might we change if they do not match Allah's guidance?
- What blessings did the speaker say come from following the Qur'an?
