Keep children connected to the mosque
“The masjid is the safe haven for you and for your kids.”
The khutbah in 4 steps
- Condemns international silence over Gaza’s deaths, destroyed schools and mosques, and attacks on hospitals and journalists.
- Uses a martyred journalist’s reminder about prayer and an elderly Palestinian’s hospitality to highlight faith and dignity.
- Warns that children spend much of their lives in schools and universities, increasing parents’ responsibility to guide them.
- Invites families to treat the mosque as a safe haven, bring children to its programs, and reconnect them with the Muslim community.
