Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Allah asks us to obey Him and follow the Prophet Muhammad, but the khutbah says complete faith also means loving the Prophet deeply. We learn that love by studying his life, character, guidance, courage, kindness, and forgiveness, then trying to follow his example. The speaker encouraged regular seerah and hadith learning, including a family learning event on October 25. He ended by asking Allah to strengthen our families, improve our character, and help people suffering around the world.
