For the dinner table

The khateeb explained that Iblis fell because he thought he was better than Adam and refused Allah's command. He then described how Shaytan tempts people and tries to pull them away from the straight path. Adam and Hawwa made a mistake, but they turned back to Allah, admitted their wrong, and asked for forgiveness. The khutbah urged believers to follow Allah's guidance and help their community encourage good and resist wrong.

  1. When do you feel tempted to think you are better than someone else?
  2. What can we do when we realize we made a wrong choice?
  3. How can our family encourage something good this week?
