Build a lasting relationship with the Quran
“Allah preserves the Qur'an through you, you and I, and through the Huffaz.”
Because the Quran is divine, preserved revelation whose arrangement and transmission come through the Prophet and believing community, Muslims must build a relationship with it, understand it responsibly, and help preserve it through memorization and recitation.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Presents the Quran as Allah’s uncreated speech and divinely ordered revelation.
- Explains its Meccan and Medinan revelation and universal audience.
- Urges interpretation through the companions’ understanding rather than speculation.
- Defines surah, ayah, juz, ruku, and manzil and discusses recitation pacing.
- Recounts preservation through memorization and early Muslim written collections.
- Connects divine preservation to believers’ responsibility to know, read, memorize, and transmit the Quran.
In the khateeb's words
“The only uncreated thing that we have as Muslims in the world today is the Quran. Everything else was created.”
“We don't have a relationship with the Qur'an. And when we need help, we don't know where to turn.”
“Allah preserves the Qur'an through you, you and I, and through the Huffaz, the people who have memorized the Qur'an, the people who read the Qur'an.”
“It is from the heart of the believers to the heart of the other believers.”
For the dinner table
The khutbah explains that the Quran is Allah’s preserved speech, revealed over time and arranged through the Prophet. It distinguishes terms such as surah, ayah, juz, and manzil, and describes how early Muslims preserved the text through memorization and written collections. The speaker says Allah preserves the Quran through believers who read, memorize, understand, and teach it. He encourages us to know the surahs, build a personal relationship with the Quran, and learn its meaning responsibly. Protecting the Quran is not only a historical story; it is a responsibility each Muslim shares.
