“Quran is so lofty So lofty in its status and position Over all books Full of wisdom Full of majesty Full of knowledge And full of guidance”
“So how can you think That Allah Who has Knowledge of everything Who has pre-recorded everything He is not able to bring you back to life”
“So if Allah can create the heavens So mighty, powerful and so vast So He can also create you And bring you back to life”
“I urge every Muslim At least read once Its translation Reflect on its meaning So we will find the answer Of our question”
For the dinner table
Today’s khutbah focused on Surah Qaf, which answers doubts about Prophet Muhammad’s message and life after death. The speaker explained that the Quran’s beauty and guidance support its truth, while the heavens, earth, rain, and living things show Allah’s power to resurrect us. He also reminded us that earlier nations rejected their prophets and faced consequences. We were encouraged to read a translation of Surah Qaf at least once and reflect on it. As a family, we can discuss which signs of Allah strengthen our certainty and how to keep that certainty in daily life.
