For the dinner table

This khutbah teaches that love for Allah becomes real by following the Prophet Muhammad and learning from his sublime character. The Prophet showed mercy to everyone: family, community members, strangers, sinners, and even enemies. He noticed overlooked people, counselled sinners without making them despair, and forgave former persecutors without humiliating them. Because the heart guides the whole body, we should nurture it through love, Qur'an, and Sunnah. As a family, we can revive the Prophet’s seerah and shamail in our home and make our dealings gentler and easier.
