Let Allah guide every part of life
“Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the centre around which your life revolves.”
True belief in Allah means centering every part of life on Him, working responsibly while accepting His outcomes, and maintaining grateful, steadfast conduct.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- The Qur'an and the Prophet are presented as divine guidance and mercy.
- The hadith “Believe in Allah, then remain steadfast” summarizes the believer's path.
- Faith means orienting thoughts, relationships, decisions, and priorities around Allah.
- Believers should work diligently while leaving results to Allah and practicing contentment.
- The Qur'an should shape speech, humility, family life, business, and community conduct.
- The khutbah closes with self-accountability and prayers for guidance, steadfastness, families, communities, and the oppressed.
In the khateeb's words
“Dat Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the centre around which your life revolves”
“Rydych yn gwneud y gwaith. Ond rydych chi'n gadael y canlyniadau i... a'i fod yn dweud, "Alhamdulillah".”
“Be happy with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala' - 'Be content' - 'Say alhamdulillah”
“"Ni, yw hyn yn dda i Allah? Os yw'n iawn, ie, os yw'n iawn, nid ydw i'n mynd i'w wneud".”
For the dinner table
The khutbah taught that saying “I believe in Allah” should shape the whole of life, not just our words. We should work hard, but leave the results to Allah and respond with alhamdulillah whether outcomes match our hopes or not. Contentment means noticing our children, health, family, and other blessings instead of endlessly chasing more. The Qur'an should guide how we speak, do business, treat family, and live in community, while regular self-accounting helps us stay steadfast. The khutbah closed with prayers for stronger faith, families and communities, and people facing suffering.
