Muslims must share Allah’s message
“We are on a mission in this dunya.”
In one sentence
The khutbah argues that Muslims are responsible not only for personal worship but also for inviting others to Allah with insight.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- The speaker opens with praise, testimony, and the objective of understanding the ummah’s purpose.
- He presents Muslims as a mission-oriented community called to worship Allah, promote good, oppose wrongdoing, and invite people to Allah.
- He warns against reducing religious duty to prayer and fasting while neglecting da'wah, especially in the West.
- Because Muhammad is the final prophet, the speaker says his ummah inherits responsibility for conveying the message.
- The dispersal of the Companions after the Prophet’s final khutbah is used as an example of this mission.

For the dinner table
Today's khutbah reminded us that our lives have a purpose: to worship Allah, know Him, and invite others to Him. The khateeb emphasized that prayer, fasting, and giving zakat are important, and that sharing the message is also part of our responsibility. He explained that because Muhammad is the final prophet, his Ummah carries on the work of inviting people to Allah. He also stressed that this invitation should be made with insight. As a family, we can reflect on how to keep learning about Allah and thoughtfully share our faith with others.
