For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah focused on the qualities of the servants of the Most Compassionate, drawn from the end of Surah al-Furqan. They are humble with people, peaceful when treated harshly, devoted to Allah in private, and balanced in their spending. They avoid major sins, repent when they fall, speak truthfully, and accept reminders without pride. They also pray for righteous spouses and children, hoping their faith will strengthen the whole family. The khutbah encouraged us to make these qualities real goals and trust Allah’s mercy as we keep returning to Him.
