Love the Prophet by living his Sunnah
“If you really love Rasulullah, learn his sunnah.”
Genuine love for the Prophet is proven not by words alone but by learning and reviving his Sunnah, obeying and honoring authentic revelation, and frequently sending blessings upon him.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- A hypothetical visit from the Prophet exposes whether one’s conduct is ready for his approval.
- Death visits everyone, so professed love for the Prophet must be tested through action.
- Learning and reviving one Sunnah daily demonstrates genuine love.
- Obeying and honoring authentic revelation brings mercy, unity, and benefit in this life and the Hereafter.
- Sending blessings upon the Prophet frequently is presented as a source of reward, relief, and forgiveness.
- Listeners are urged to make Sunnah practice and salawat ongoing personal projects.
In the khateeb's words
“we all pretend that we love Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam but do we really love him?”
“if you really love Rasulullah learn his sunnah, revive everyday have it like a project every day I revive a sunnah hundreds of sunnah of Rasulullah that we never do and we never practice”
“everything that comes in the revelation everything that comes in the authentic sunnah we accept it with submission”
For the dinner table
The khateeb asked us to imagine the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, visiting our home and seeing how we live and treat one another. He reminded us that love for the Prophet should show in our actions. Using the letters of LOVE, he encouraged us to learn and revive the sunnah, obey the Prophet, venerate or honor his teachings, and extend our prayers upon him. He suggested making the practice of a sunnah a daily project and approaching revelation with humility. As a family, we can begin with a small step toward kinder behavior, learning together, and remembering the Prophet more often.
- What would you want the Prophet to see in the way we treat each other at home?
- What is one thing about the Prophet’s daily life you would like us to learn together?
- When during our day could we remember to send blessings upon the Prophet?
