Justice begins with caring for others

“You don't have to care about yourself only.”

The khateeb, at 9:16

In one sentence

Because injustice dominates the wider world and Muslim communities, Muslims must return to the Quran and Sunnah by practicing justice, caring for others, serving sincerely, and uniting across differences.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Frames global instability, suffering, and family breakdown as manifestations of widespread injustice.
  2. Defines dhulm as putting something where it does not belong and presents justice as the purpose of revelation.
  3. Applies justice to family, neighbors, leadership, and solidarity with Muslims suffering worldwide.
  4. Warns about shortening time, greed, public immorality, killing, and Muslim disunity.
  5. Closes by urging return to the Quran and Sunnah, unity, justice, and support for the oppressed.

For the dinner table

Today's khutbah reminded us that Allah commands justice, including fairness in our families and our community. The khateeb encouraged us to care about others across differences of language, color, and culture. He asked us to notice people nearby who may be sick, hungry, or struggling to get help. He also reminded us to do good for Allah without needing praise or payment, and to keep the pursuit of money from taking over our hearts and time. He called us to work together, guided by the Quran and the Prophet's teachings, with Jannah as our shared goal.

  1. What would being fair look like during a disagreement between siblings or friends?
  2. Who around us might need a meal, a visit, or some practical help this week?
  3. What good deed could you do quietly, without looking for praise?
