Muslims must resist oppression and restore justice
“The most terrible thing is that the oppressor plays the role of the victim.”
The khutbah argues that Muslims should restore justice, accountability, and unity by following the Prophet’s warnings and example, resisting oppression, and taking concrete humanitarian action.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Introduces gratitude and the khutbah’s focus on prophetic warnings and actions.
- Explains five societal consequences tied to immorality, withholding zakah, cheating, unjust rule, and abandoning Qur’an and Sunnah.
- Uses the Farewell Sermon to emphasize the sanctity of blood, dignity, and wealth.
- Discusses oppression, manufactured enemies, Islamophobia, war, and double standards, especially in Gaza and other conflicts.
- Presents the Prophet’s example of settling debts and inviting restitution before death.
- Calls listeners to educate others, expose injustice, boycott harmful systems, support relief efforts, and help orphans.
In the khateeb's words
“The morality, we did not create the moral codes. We as Muslims did not create it. But it is divine on us.”
“The most terrible thing is that the oppressor plays the role of the victim.”
“The best one of you is the person who, if I owe him something, take it, or forgive it.”
“So our role is to expose this fact, share it on the social media.”
For the dinner table
The speaker begins by reminding us to be grateful for life and health. He teaches that Islam calls us to live with morality, honesty, justice, and respect for people’s lives, dignity, and wealth. He points to the Prophet’s example of settling debts and correcting wrongs before meeting Allah. The khutbah also speaks about suffering and injustice in Gaza and other places. We are encouraged to learn, share truthful information, help people in need, and make our daily choices reflect our faith.

- How can we repair a debt or wrong we owe someone?
- What is one helpful action our family could take this week?
