Return to revelation when online noise misleads
“Facebook has replaced the scripture in many cases.”
In one sentence
Muslims should navigate modern distraction, social media, argument, and confusion by returning to revelation, following the Prophet, prioritizing prayer and basic duties, and building sincere good deeds.
The khutbah in 7 steps
- Revelation guides matters beyond human imagination, with the Prophet explaining revealed guidance.
- Islam does not promise worldly victory or freedom from trials; believers should remain firm without seeking conflict.
- Social media, algorithms, public backbiting, and online arguments can replace scripture and mislead Muslims.
- Following the Prophet, seeking necessary knowledge, avoiding needless debates, prayer, good character, and taqwa are presented as the cure.
- True success is guidance and sincere deeds, not popularity, wealth, status, or followers.
- Listeners are urged to pray, repent, do good deeds, honor parents, help neighbors, fast, give charity, and teach children.
- The khutbah closes with supplications for guidance, forgiveness, unity, faith, and mercy.
