Allah honors every person with dignity
In one sentence
Allah has honored every human being, and true virtue is shown by treating every person with dignity, mercy, restraint, and justice.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Human beings are honored through creation, intellect, provision, and the subjugation of parts of creation to them.
- Human honor is given by Allah, while higher virtue is attained by using those blessings properly.
- The prophets share a common mission: helping people know their Lord and organize life with dignity.
- Every person retains honor regardless of status, social judgment, mistakes, religion, or death.
