In the khateeb's words
“being a Muslim is a blessing the blessings Allah on us are many as I said earlier earlier we cannot count the blessings Allah on us”

Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khutbah reminds us that Allah has given us countless blessings, both obvious and unseen. Being Muslim, waking up healthy, having food to eat, and having clothing are all gifts we should not take for granted. Because many people lack basic necessities, noticing our blessings should make us more grateful and compassionate. The speaker encourages us to show gratitude by obeying Allah and following the guidance of His Messenger.
