Read the Quran and live its guidance
“All these books are sent to the messengers of Allah to guide mankind.”
Revealed scripture is Allah's instruction manual for humanity, meant to be read and lived, and the Quran's unchanged wording confirms its divine preservation for Muslims in North America.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Uses a baby and phone instruction-book analogy to ask where humanity's guidance book is.
- Explains that Allah sent revealed books through messengers to guide people and be practiced, not merely read.
- Says Jesus foretold a coming messenger named Ahmad, which the Quran confirms.
- Answers objections about Ahmad and Muhammad by arguing that the Quran's wording has been preserved.
- Contrasts Islam with the speaker's claim that Roman authorities changed the Bible, then pivots to Muslims in North America.
In the khateeb's words
“The question is, where is the book for the baby? Even the cell phones we use, when you buy them, you see book of instructions. So where is the book?”
“All these books are sent to the messengers of Allah to guide mankind so that we will practice and learn and depend on it and read it.”
“Christianity was hijacked by the Romans. And the Romans, they changed everything.”
For the dinner table
The khateeb used the picture of a baby and a phone to explain why people need guidance from a revealed book. He taught that Allah sent revealed books through messengers to guide humanity. These books are not only for reading; they are instructions to learn, depend on, and practice. He connected the Quran's mention of Ahmad with Muhammad and argued that the Quran's wording has been preserved. He closed this excerpt by turning toward Muslims in North America and their responsibility to take the message seriously.
- What is one Quranic instruction our family could practice more intentionally this week?
- Why might a revealed book need to be lived, not only read?
- How would you explain the speaker's Ahmad-and-Muhammad point to a friend?
