For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah focused on how Muslims can explain why they believe Muhammad was a true prophet. The imam presented the Qur’an as the central evidence, emphasizing its language, its challenge to produce anything like it, and its preservation through written copies and memorization. He encouraged listeners to talk respectfully with others about Islam and share the truth, even if only a little. He closed with reminders about accountability, prayers for forgiveness, and a supplication for Muslims in Palestine.
