All prophets taught worship of one God
“All the anbiya called to worship one God.”
Islam teaches that all prophets called humanity to worship one God, while their specific laws differed by time; Muslims should confidently explain this shared foundation and honor every prophet.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Responds to election rhetoric and Islamophobia by urging Muslims not to hide their identity.
- Establishes worship of one God as the consistent message from Adam through Muhammad.
- Defines Islam as submission to Allah, using Ibrahim and Nuh as examples.
- Explains that sharia differs across prophetic communities while the core faith remains one.
- Insists Muslims honor every prophet and presents Muhammad as the final messenger and a human being.
- Encourages brief educational conversations and clarifies Muslim belief about Jesus as Allah’s servant and messenger.
In the khateeb's words
“All the anbiya called to worship one God And only one God Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala”
“The word Islam we all define it as Submission A simple meaning of submission But submission to who? Submission to the one and only The one who deserves to be worshipped Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala”
“Because the Anbiya For us Are all one All come from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala With the same message”
“But as believers We believe that Muhammad Was a great messenger Of Allah But he still was a man And a man who lived his life He brought guidance From Allah To the world And then he died”
For the dinner table
Today’s khutbah taught that Islam is not a new message but the same call to worship one God given through all the prophets. The speaker explained that sharia means the way of living under God’s guidance, and that its details differed across communities and circumstances. Muslims honor every prophet, including Jesus, while believing Muhammad is the final messenger and a human servant of God. We should be confident about our identity and ready to explain these beliefs calmly and briefly when people misunderstand Islam.
