Seek Allah’s protection from Shaytan

Masjid An-Nur

“There is no protection, there is no guidance, there is no faith, there is no iman, there is no goodness, except with Allah.”

The khateeb, at 14:45

In one sentence

Because Shaytan makes sin and conflict seem attractive, believers should seek Allah’s protection through salah, Quran, dhikr, repentance, and simple invocations in daily life.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Introduces Shaytan as an enduring enemy who beautifies sin and misguidance.
  2. Explains how Shaytan deceived Adam and Hawwa by promising enjoyment and permanence.
  3. Teaches seeking Allah’s refuge from Shaytan’s whispers and presence.
  4. Presents salah, Quran, and dhikr as primary protections, especially in the home.
  5. Applies remembrance and wudu to anger, marital conflict, and family discord.
  6. Concludes with simple practices such as saying Bismillah when entering the home.

For the dinner table

The khutbah teaches that Shaytan tries to make wrong choices look attractive and to create conflict between people who love one another. Allah is our protection, and salah, Quran, and dhikr help keep our hearts aware of Him. At home, we can recite Quran, Ayatul Kursi, or Surah Al-Fatiha, say Bismillah when entering, and seek refuge in Allah when anger rises. If we slip, we can return to Allah through tawbah instead of giving up. Small acts of remembrance can strengthen our homes and help us treat one another with patience and generosity.

  1. What is one moment this week when you could say Bismillah or seek Allah’s protection?
  2. How can our family make salah, Quran, and dhikr a regular part of home life?
  3. What helps you calm down before anger turns into hurtful words?
