IOK · Mudassir Mayet

“Get ready for those things by doing good deeds.”

In one sentence

Because the end times and our own death could arrive sooner than expected, Muslims should stop obsessing over signs and prepare through sincere worship, urgent good deeds, justice, and care for the oppressed.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Reflects on end-time signs and the turmoil affecting Muslims worldwide.
  2. Uses hadiths about Muslim infighting and the Euphrates treasure to frame uncertainty about the Hour.
  3. Redirects attention from speculation about the Dajjal and Mahdi toward preparation through good deeds.
  4. Calls listeners to prioritize prayer, family and community care, charity, and speaking against oppression.
  5. Warns that prayer and bloodshed will be central matters of accountability on Judgment Day.
  6. Explains Surah al-Qari'ah, alongside related surahs, as a warning about weighed deeds and the consequences of worldly distraction.

For the dinner table

Shaykh Mudassir reminded us that frightening events can make us wonder how close the Day of Judgment is. He encouraged us to focus on what we are preparing for that day, instead of getting caught up in speculation about its signs. We prepare by praying regularly, asking Allah for protection, and doing good deeds while we have the opportunity. That includes being kind to our families, helping people in need, and continuing to support those suffering from war and oppression. He reminded us that our good deeds matter before Allah and prayed that we would meet Him with scales heavy with good.

  1. What is one good deed you could do today that you have been putting off?
  2. How could our family help each other pray on time?
