ICF

“Reading Quran is the dhikr of Allah Azza wa Jal.”

In one sentence

Although Islam rejects pagan ideas that frightening symbols protect people from evil spirits, believers can overcome jinn and Satan's influence through Allah's remembrance, Qur'an, prayer, and Sunnah ruqyah.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens with praise, testimony, and exhortations to taqwa.
  2. Contrasts Halloween protection beliefs with Islamic beliefs about unseen creatures.
  3. Explains angels, jinn, their communities, and their accountability before Allah.
  4. Argues that Satan's influence grows when believers neglect dhikr and Qur'an.
  5. Prescribes remembrance, saying Allah's name, Surah al-Baqarah, protective duas, and ruqyah.
  6. Concludes with supplications and congregational prayer.

For the dinner table

The khutbah began with Halloween and the idea that frightening images protect people from evil spirits. It taught that angels and jinn are part of the unseen creation, but Satan's influence is weak and grows when people neglect Allah's remembrance. The speaker encouraged families to say Allah's name before eating, remember Him at bedtime and upon waking, recite Qur'an, especially Surah al-Baqarah, and use protective duas and ruqyah taught in the Sunnah. The message was not to live in fear, but to seek Allah's protection through faith, remembrance, prayer, and trust. It closed with supplications and congregational prayer.

  1. What helps us remember Allah during ordinary moments at home?
  2. Why might saying Allah's name change how we approach a meal or bedtime?
  3. What does it mean to seek Allah's protection without living in fear?
