The Prophets & seerahFrom the masjid's own video, Jun 26, 2026.
Musa's story calls us to obey
“Whatever I have commanded you to do, do as much of it as you can.”
In one sentence
The story of Musa and Ashura teaches that reverent knowledge of Allah must produce obedience to His Messenger, because rejecting prophetic guidance leads to misguidance while following it leads to salvation.
The khutbah in 4 steps
- Explains Musa's mission to call Fir'aun toward purification, guidance, and knowledge-based reverent fear.
- Uses Fir'aun's rejection and arrogance as a warning that opposing messengers leads to destruction.
- Applies the warning through self-examination of whether knowledge of Allah changes speech and behavior.
- Contrasts disobedience with salvation by urging avoidance of prohibitions and practice of commands according to one's ability.
