For the dinner table

The khutbah asks us to imagine the Prophet smiling because he was thinking about Muslims who would believe in him long after his lifetime. It reminds us that prophets cared deeply about future generations, and that Musa even wept when he learned how many of Muhammad’s followers would enter Paradise. We are called to be ambassadors of the Prophet by living Islam openly, serving others, and standing against oppression without hatred toward any people. We should keep Muslims facing hardship in our prayers and hope to meet the Prophet with joy in Jannah.

  1. Who do you think the Prophet hoped would meet him, and why?
  2. What is one way our family can stand against oppression this week?
  3. What could we build today that would help Muslims in the future?
