Use your time before it is lost
“Faith without action is like a tree without fruits.”
In one sentence
Because time is every person's true capital and constantly melts away, believers must use it through faith, righteous deeds, mutual counsel, patience, remembrance, and accountability.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- The ice seller’s melting merchandise illustrates time as humanity’s true capital.
- Faith must produce action, while believers should encourage one another through truth and patience.
- Screens, gossip, and idle entertainment are described as silent thieves of time.
- Listeners receive four practices: nightly self-accountability, daily Quran reading, remembrance of Allah, and reminders to others.
- The khutbah closes by urging wise use of time and hoping for a good end and entry into Paradise.
