Community & unityFrom the masjid's own video, Sep 26, 2026.
Prophetic wisdom can heal divided hearts
“If Allah is pleased with you, He will make others pleased with you.”
In one sentence
The khutbah argues that genuine unity comes from prophetic wisdom, humility, forgiveness, seeking Allah’s pleasure, and actively reconciling divided hearts.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Frames modern loneliness as bodies being together while hearts remain disconnected.
- Uses the Black Stone arbitration to show calm wisdom, inclusion, and sacrificing ego.
- Presents the Muhajirun, Ansar, Aus, and Khazraj as examples of prophetic community-building.
- Connects family unity to Allah’s pleasure and practicing prophetic character before crises arise.
- Uses Uhud to teach forgiveness, rejecting resentment, and avoiding assumptions about people.
- Closes by urging listeners to resist division and reconcile quarrelling people.
Try this week
Sacrifice ego during disagreements and try to understand what family members are carrying emotionally.
Seek Allah’s pleasure through worship and by practicing the Prophet’s character within the family.
Forgive mistakes instead of defining people by their past failures or assuming they will repeat them.
Stay patient during difficult conversations rather than walking away immediately.
Help reconcile two people who are quarrelling when you have the ability to do so.
Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“The bodies are joined but the hearts are disjoint. The hearts are not united.”
“If Allah is pleased with you, He will make others pleased with you. The closer you are to Allah and the closer your family is to Allah, the closer you'll be to each other.”
“Very difficult task. Very difficult task to do between two people or very difficult task to do between you and another person.”
