Trust the Quran and live its guidance
“We go straight to the one that created us.”
The khutbah argues that recognizing Allah as the sole Creator and Sustainer, trusting the Quran’s guidance, and sincerely putting it into practice leads to moral growth and a focused life.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Thanks Allah for the blessing of attending Jumu'ah and acknowledges sacrifices that made Muslim practice possible.
- Explains al-Baqarah’s call to worship Allah alone as Creator, Sustainer, and Lord of all.
- Connects the prayer of Ibrahim to continuity among Abraham’s followers and warns against rivalry and arrogance.
- Presents the Quranic challenge as evidence of revelation and describes Quranic guidance as gradual and transformative.
- Urges listeners to value Allah’s blessings, remain focused, read the Quran, and participate in community learning and visits.
In the khateeb's words
“We go straight to the one that created us. Yes.”
“And I always say, everywhere this Quran has went, brothers and sisters, it empowers the people. It changed their lives.”
For the dinner table
Today the khateeb reminded us that gathering for Jumu’ah is a blessing, made easier by the sacrifices of people before us. He described Allah as the One who creates, nourishes, cares for, and sustains us, and reminded us that we can turn directly to Him. He encouraged us to recognize earlier communities of faith and learn from the good that others do. He urged us to read the Quran and let its guidance shape our choices through sincere effort. As a family, we can carry that message into the week by thanking Allah, practicing what we learn, and becoming more helpful to others.
- What blessing did you notice today, and how could you show gratitude for it?
- Who has shown you a good example that you would like to follow?
- What is one choice this week that you want the Quran’s guidance to help you with?
