Because the Quran is a universal guide and Muhammad is the universal messenger, Muslims must actively introduce Islam, the Quran, and the Prophet to people who have not encountered them.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Explains the Quran’s different modes of addressing humanity and argues that it guides everyone.
  2. Uses Allah as Rabb of all creation to illustrate universal sustenance and guidance.
  3. Contrasts Muhammad’s universal prophethood with earlier prophets’ local missions.
  4. Shares a mosque visit showing non-Muslims’ limited exposure to Islamic beliefs and practices.
  5. Calls American Muslims to take responsibility for da'wah and introduce Islam respectfully.
  6. Urges each Muslim to set a lifelong outreach goal and closes with prayers for oppressed communities.

For the dinner table

Imam Tariq reminded us that the Quran offers guidance to all humanity, and that Allah sustains everyone. He explained that Prophet Muhammad’s message is for all people and remains relevant until the Day of Judgment. He urged us to share that message alongside our own prayer, fasting, and Quran reading. He also described a masjid visit where guests asked questions and learned about Muslims’ respect for Jesus and other prophets. His reminder gives our family something to practice: being grateful for Allah’s blessings and making time to help others learn about our faith.
