In one sentence

Because life is temporary and death can arrive without warning, believers must stop postponing repentance and good deeds, use their time and health for Allah today, and remain humble until the end.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Uses Surah Sajda's image of wrongdoers pleading to return after realizing truth, but being too late.
  2. Warns against postponing worship and good deeds, especially through distractions and endless scrolling.
  3. Explains the hadith of living as a stranger or traveler and Ibn Umar's counsel to use health and life before loss.
  4. Illustrates mortality through the unexpected death of a righteous young man and asks what listeners will do today.
  5. Shares a deathbed story about Shaykh Ahmad resisting Shaytan's invitation to feel spiritually safe, then closes with supplications for steadfastness, forgiveness, and the oppressed.

“Live in this world. Like a stranger. Or a traveler. Why? Because this world is temporary. You're going to go. You're going to do what you came here to do. And then you're going to leave.”

For the dinner table

Today's khutbah reminded us that our life is an opportunity to worship Allah and do good, and we should not keep putting those things off. The khateeb described people who will wish they could return to this world and change their choices when it is too late. He compared life to a journey: we are travelers, and what we do here matters for our destination. Remembering a young friend who died, he encouraged us to use the time and health we have today. He also warned against becoming proud of our good deeds and prayed that Allah would guide us, bless our time, and keep us firm in faith.

  1. What could help us put our phones down when it is time for Quran or prayer?
  2. How can we encourage each other to do good without showing off?
