Love the Prophet through daily service
“Our connection to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam cannot and should not be limited to a few events or a few programs within the entire year.”
Love for the Prophet should be lived through studying his seerah, embodying his teachings, and building a united, caring, steadfast community through daily action, dua, and service.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Calls for a year-round connection to the Prophet through studying his seerah and living his example.
- Recounts the Prophet’s final illness and passing, emphasizing Abu Bakr’s reminder that devotion belongs to Allah.
- Uses the image of companions united in prayer and examples from Badr, Uhud, and Khandaq to define the ummah.
- Challenges the Allen community to turn shared space into genuine brotherhood, sisterhood, care, and mutual support.
- Connects global suffering to local responsibility through kindness, integrity, dua, and consistent action.
- Invites families to hear Dr. Bilal Piracha’s Gaza experiences and closes with prayers for unity and service.
In the khateeb's words
“our connection to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam cannot and should not be limited to a few events or a few programs within the entire year”
“Islam is a faith that brings people together and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a man who brought people together”
“it begins with small consistent actions kindness to the members of our family kindness to our neighbors integrity at work honesty at school”
For the dinner table
Love for Prophet Muhammad is more than remembering him during a few events; it means learning his life and living his example. His final view of the companions praying together reminds us to build a community that is united, caring, and steadfast. We can begin with small choices: kindness to family and neighbors, honesty at work or school, checking on others, and making dua for Muslims who are suffering. We should also turn concern into service by listening, helping, and strengthening our own community.
- What is one small act of kindness you could do for someone in our community this week?
- Who is someone you can remember in your dua tonight?
- What does standing together in prayer teach us about how to treat one another?
