Follow Muhammad through Quran and Sunnah
Muslims should recognize Muhammad as Allah’s honored final servant and messenger, accept the Quran and his character as evidence of his prophethood, and follow the Quran and authentic Sunnah while rejecting false claims to revelation.
The khutbah in 7 steps
- Defines Muhammad as Allah’s servant, final prophet, and messenger, presenting servitude as an honor.
- Warns against both exaggerating and disrespecting prophets.
- Explains miracles and presents the Quran as Muhammad’s continuing central miracle.
- Uses Muhammad’s honesty, character, message, biography, and testimony from Khadija, Waraqa, and Heraclius as evidence.
- Rejects false prophets, fortune-tellers, psychics, and claims to know the unseen.
- Calls Muslims to love, honor, obey Muhammad, and follow the Quran and Sunnah together.
- Concludes with prayers for Muslims and oppressed people in Gaza and Palestine, followed by a volunteer announcement.
In the khateeb's words
“the main one with all the miracles gone with him except the main one what is it al-qur'an al-kareem it's the biggest miracle ever subhanallah subhanallah”
“You have to go to Allah with the quran and the sunna together, this is the deed of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.”

He warned us not to trust false prophets, fortune-tellers, psychics, or anyone claiming knowledge of the unseen. We were encouraged to love and follow Muhammad by holding firmly to both the Quran and authentic Sunnah.
