The Quran is complete guidance
“Quran is the only book which Allah has sent with complete instructions.”
The khutbah argues that Muslims must return to the Qur'an, recognize Allah alone as ultimate authority, cultivate the qualities of the muttaqeen, and spread tawhid while living in a non-Islamic world.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Presents attending Jumu'ah as answering Allah's call and following the Prophet's practice.
- Describes the Qur'an as complete guidance superior to human philosophy and worldly systems.
- Frames la ilaha illallah as exclusive allegiance to Allah and discusses global disorder, Gaza, and Muslim societies.
- Warns against accepting rival systems of authority and recalls prophetic opposition to rulers.
- Explains five qualities of the muttaqeen: faith, prayer, generosity, belief in revelation, and certainty in the Hereafter.
- Urges Qur'an study, da'wah, work, charity, and religious commitment before closing with prayer and announcements.
In the khateeb's words
“Because Quran is the only book which Allah has sent with complete instructions and answers to all the questions humanity ever will have or had in the past, and the proofs are given in the Quran.”
“You have to come back to the Quran and study. Everything is over here. And the best.”
“You have to reach the Jannah. You have to compete for that. And in this world you have to implement la ilaha illallah.”
“You don't know your value. It's now a problem. You have to do the job.”
For the dinner table
The khutbah reminded us that answering the call to Jumu'ah is an honor and an expression of faith. The khateeb urged Muslims to return to the Quran, study its guidance, establish prayer, and remain certain about the hereafter. He emphasized that our work and daily responsibilities should not make us forget our deeper purpose of obeying Allah and sharing His message. He also highlighted generosity, trust in Allah, and courage as qualities of the muttaqeen. The khutbah closed with a prayer that Allah guide us back to Islam sincerely and make us among His helpers.

- Besides money, what is something Allah has given you that you could share?
- When might remembering Allah help you do the right thing even if you feel nervous?
