Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“Allah intends. To separate the rotten from the good. That's what His intention is.”
“So every single day we wake up. And we pray. And we mention Allah azawajal. And we go to our food with Bismillah. And we go in our car. And so on and so forth.”
“This is an emphasis on repetitiveness, a repeat in one's contemplation of the world. To follow it again and again.”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
This khutbah reminds us that Allah uses everyday life to reveal whether we are choosing what is good or harmful. The Qur'an is a blessed book meant to be revisited and thoughtfully understood, not merely recited once. When we remember Allah in ordinary moments such as prayer, meals, and travel, we keep our hearts connected to Him. We should hold to the Qur'an and the Prophet's Sunnah, ask Allah to unite Muslims, and remember people suffering around the world.
- What is one ordinary moment tomorrow when you can remember Allah?
- What Qur'an passage could you revisit thoughtfully this week?
- How can our family show care for Muslims facing hardship?
