Community & unityFrom the masjid's own video, Nov 14, 2025.
Resist division by rebuilding together
“This is my land and by Allah's help, I will rebuild here.”
In one sentence
The khutbah argues that believers must resist Satan’s divisive pull by uniting across economic lines, treating charity as justice, building families and institutions in America, and continuing purposeful service through hardship.
The khutbah in 7 steps
- Satan divides people, especially rich and poor, through misinformation, resentment, and unhealthy relationships.
- Charity is presented as justice and a right owed to the poor, while wealth should be reinvested in community.
- Shared work, knowledge, ownership, and institutions give individuals and communities spiritual strength and meaningful presence.
- Economic disruption and uncertainty are framed as tests of patience, trust, community, and character.
- Believers are urged to keep praying, serving, encouraging, and planting hope even when systems fail.
- Families are called to build homes, schools, businesses, hospitals, and partnerships while teaching children moral thinking.
- Announcements promote music, youth education, scouting, study, interfaith partnership, food distribution, coat drives, and donations.
