For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah explained that Muslims believe Allah sent guidance through many prophets and revealed books, including the Torah, Gospel, Psalms, and Quran. The Quran confirms the earlier revelations, and Muslims respect what Allah revealed while following the Quran’s confirmed guidance. The Prophet Muhammad’s example showed honor toward the Torah and recognition of its divine source. The speaker reminded us that faith is not only something we say; it should shape our conduct and way of life. This week, we can honor revelation by practicing goodness in our actions.

  1. How can we show respect for people who follow other revealed books?
  2. What is one good action we can practice this week?
  3. Why should our actions match what we say we believe?
