For the dinner table

The khutbah teaches that Muslims should worship Allah alone and protect their tawhid. It also emphasizes honesty, justice, kindness to parents, protecting vulnerable people, and following Allah's straight path. The speaker then highlights Muharram as a sacred month and encourages voluntary fasting. Families can fast the tenth of Muharram, preferably with the ninth, and build the habit of fasting three days each month. The sermon reminds us to hope in Allah's mercy while continuing to do good deeds.

  1. What is one good deed you can protect by worshipping Allah sincerely?
  2. Which Muharram fasting option could you try, and how would you prepare?
  3. Why should we keep doing good deeds even when we feel assured of Allah's mercy?
