Hajj, Umrah & EidFrom the masjid's own video, Jun 6, 2026.
Worship continues until death
In one sentence
Hajj and every season of worship teach believers to continue remembering Allah, doing righteous deeds, choosing halal, and worshiping faithfully until death.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Explains Jumu'ah etiquette, especially silence and avoiding phones during the khutbah.
- Reflects on the passing of Ramadan, Hajj, and Eid and asks what lessons remain.
- Uses Arafah and Hajj rituals to emphasize remembrance of Allah and dua for both worlds.
- Teaches that worship continues through prayer, service, halal living, and successive good deeds.
- Warns that one's lived commitments shape one's death and resurrection, especially in addressing youth.
- Concludes with dhikr, blessings on the Prophet, prayers for guidance, and prayers for oppressed Muslims.

Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“Nothing is over. What do we learn from the lessons of Hajj for those who performed Hajj and those who did not perform Hajj?”
“Oh Allah grant us the good of this dunya and grant us the good of the akhira and save us from hellfire.”
“Ibadah does not end. The Ibadah never ceases until the day you meet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.”
“The remembrance of Allah. Why? Make sure that you, as much as you can remember Allah, Allah will reform your hearts inshallah ta'ala eventually.”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
After Ramadan and Hajj, our worship is not finished. The khutbah teaches that Hajj trains us to remember Allah, ask for good in both worlds, and keep doing righteous deeds. We should pray, choose halal, serve others, and keep our tongues busy with dhikr and blessings on the Prophet. The way we live each day prepares us to meet Allah with faith.
