Unity means helping Muslims in need

ICG

“I will help regardless whether you know them or you don't know them.”

The khateeb, at 18:27

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

Muslims must hold firmly to Allah’s guidance, avoid division, and strengthen unity through family ties, mosque community, and practical care for one another.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Explains Surah Al-Imran’s command to hold fast to Allah’s rope and avoid division.
  2. Uses the metaphors of one body, a tight wall, and an ocean to describe communal strength.
  3. Recounts the Prophet’s establishment of the mosque and brotherhood between the Muhajireen and Ansar in Medina.
  4. Applies unity to relatives and families through visiting, shared meals, strong marriages, and mutual support.
  5. Challenges the mosque community to help Muslims with jobs, debt, and personal problems while observing greeting etiquette.
  6. Returns to the command against division, mentions suffering among Muslims, encourages dua, and announces Qiyam al-Layl.
Try this week
Visit or call relatives regularly and ask about their well-being and needs.

For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that Allah calls Muslims to hold together and care for one another. He compared believers to one body: when someone hurts, the rest should respond with concern and help. He described how the Ansar welcomed the Muhajireen and shared their homes, money, and work. He encouraged us to strengthen family relationships by checking on relatives and making time to eat and talk together. His message invites us to put our faith into everyday actions, helping people in need and working through disagreements without letting them break our relationships.

  1. Who might need a little extra care from us this week, and what could we do?
  2. What would make our meals together a time when everyone feels heard?
  3. What could you share to help someone feel welcome?
